'''Altenna''' (アルテナ) is the princess of [[Lenster]], the daughter of [[Cuan]] and [[Ethlin]], the elder sister of Prince [[Leif]], and a full-blooded descendant of the [[Twelve Crusaders|Crusader]] [[Noba]] as well as a bearer of the [[Baldo]] bloodline of [[Chalphy]].  As an infant, she was with her parents when they and the [[Lanze Ritter]] were murdered by King [[Trabant]] and the [[Thracian]] Dragon Knights in the [[Yied Massacre]], and in its aftermath she was taken by Trabant along with her father's [[Gae Bolg]], which she was capable of wielding.  She was raised as Trabant's daughter along with [[Areone]], Trabant's actual son and her foster brother, and as she grew she served as a princess of Thracia and a Dragon Knight in Thracia's army during the era of [[Granbell]] occupation of the [[Manster District]] to the north.

During [[The Palace of Evil|Leif's march on Manster itself]], Altenna travelled to the region to oversee [[Coruta]]'s observations of the battle.  When Coruta advocated launching an assault on Manster, Altenna objected to the notion on the grounds of the innocent civilians in the line of fire, but was ultimately ignored by Coruta on the grounds that his attack orders came from Trabant himself.  Disappointed in Coruta's choice, Altenna left to return to Thracia.

“ How do you ever expect the citizens of Thracia to be content thriving off the blood and sweat of other nations? ...Your ways leave much to be desired, father. ”
— Altena, to Trabant

Altena (アルテナ) is the princess of Leonster, the daughter of Quan and Ethlyn, the elder sister of Prince Leif, and a full-blooded descendant of the Crusader Noba as well as a bearer of the Baldo bloodline of Chalphy. As an infant, she was with her parents when they and the Lanze Ritter were murdered by King Trabant and the Thracian Dragon Knights in the Yied Massacre, and in its aftermath she was taken by Trabant along with her father's Gáe Bolg, which she was capable of wielding. She was raised as Trabant's daughter along with Areone, Trabant's actual son and her foster brother, and as she grew she served as a princess of Thracia and a Dragon Knight in Thracia's army during the era of Grannvale occupation of the Manster District to the north.

It was not until seventeen years later that she met Leif and learned of her true parentage, as he and Seliph led their revolution army through the Thracian Peninsula. Convinced of the truth of Leif's words, at the advice of Areone she allied with Leif and Seliph, assisting in the defeat of Thracia before moving on with them to reclaim Miletos and launch an assault on Grannvale itself. At Grannvale, she convinced Areone to assist Seliph rather than continue to serve Julius.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

Role

Following the fall of Bloom and the Grannvale occupation of the Manster District, Trabant dispatched Altena and Coruta to assault Manster, now occupied by Sety. Altena's misgivings about attacking innocents caused her to refuse to continue the attack; Coruta refused to listen and insisted on the doomed raid, losing to Seliph' army. During this encounter and the subsequent loss of Mease Castle, Altena merely observed from the mountains; Finn, a former Leonster Knight, noticed her presence and identified her as Quan's lost daughter.

After the loss of Mease, Altena reported back to a displeased Trabant, who ordered her to sortie again to reclaim Mease; this time, she complied in full, given the lack of risk to innocents. During this fight, she was stopped by Leif, who revealed her true identity to her; initially in disbelief, she saw the truth from looking at her brother, and fled the battlefield to confront Trabant about his hand in the deaths of her true parents. In response, Areone subdued her, and she recovered after Trabant died on the battlefield. Acting under the encouragement of Areone, Altena reluctantly left Thracia to ally with Leif and Seliph.

In the last throes of the final confrontation at Grannvale, when Areone and a squad of Thracian mercenaries came under the payroll of Julius to subdue the revolution base at Chalphy, Altena convinced Areone to stand down and ally with Seliph.

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776

As Leif's fledgling army fled through the mountains to Hannibal's mansion to rendezvous with the Leonster knights under his protection, Altena and Trabant were touring the region, and were informed by Marlock that the army was in fact a bandit group. There, she had a discussion with Trabant about his dreams for Thracia and the Manster District, and his resignation to the inevitable damnation upon him for his methods, before leaving, entrusting the situation to Marlock.

Later, Altena travelled to Tahra during the Freege siege against it and took up residence in a house on its outskirts. When Dean came to visit, by Areone's request she gave him the Dragon Lance, and reminded and encourage him of his role in protecting Linoan in lieu of Areone himself.

During Leif's march on Manster itself, Altena travelled to the region to oversee Coruta's observations of the battle. When Coruta advocated launching an assault on Manster, Altena objected to the notion on the grounds of the innocent civilians in the line of fire, but was ultimately ignored by Coruta on the grounds that his attack orders came from Trabant himself. Disappointed in Coruta's choice, Altena left to return to Thracia.

Stats

Altena is present in Chapter 23 as an enemy. However, she cannot be legitimately fought or defeated, and leaves the battlefield when Coruta begins his attack.

Personality and character

As a contrast to her adoptive father's brutal ways, Altena - like Areone - opted for a kinder approach, refusing to turn her weapons against innocent civilians even if it involved opposing Trabant's commands.[2] Where possible, she insisted on Trabant opting for a less underhanded and brutal way of life for the good of Thracia, and despite her affection for Trabant, had no issue with criticising his methodology.[3] Where innocents were not involved, however, Altena was a strong and uncompromising warrior. She had little patience for trickery, and to this end brushed off Leif's initial attempts to convince her of her true heritage and was enraged when confronting Trabant about the same.

Love growths and events

Altena is not capable of gaining love growth with anyone.

  • In Chapter 9, when she appears as an enemy, Leif can initiate a conversation with Altena which prompts her to leave the battlefield and sets in motion the process of recruiting her.
    • Later if the above conversation happened, the turn after Trabant has been killed, Altena will reappear as an enemy. She will seek out Seliph and automatically talk to him, which recruits her.
  • In Chapter 9, either Hannibal or Finn can initiate a conversation with Altena after Grutia has been seized, awarding her +3 HP.
  • In Chapter 10, Leif can initiate a conversation with Altena at any time, awarding her +1 Luck.
  • In Chapter 10, Corpul or Sharlow can initiate a conversation with Altena after Miletos has been seized, awarding her +5 Resistance.
  • In the Final Chapter, when Areone appears as an enemy, Altena can talk to him, turning him and his Wyvern Riders into partner units.
