“	...Consider your trust reciprocated then. That's the way of the Isaacian warrior. For now I consecrate my sword to thee.	”	— Ira, to Sigurd

Ira (アイラ, Aira) was a princess of Isaac, a descendant of the crusader Odo, the daughter of King Mananan and the younger half-sister of Crown Prince Mariccle. At the height of Isaac's war with Grandbell, Ira was tasked by Mariccle to flee Isaac with his young son Shanan, to ensure his survival and the future of the Isaac royal family. Their travels eventually took them to Verdane, where Ira was eventually left with no choice but to work as a mercenary for Prince Kinbois, who imprisoned Shanan as leverage to ensure Ira's full cooperation. With the death of Kinbois and the rescue of Shanan by Sigurd's forces, Ira allies with Sigurd - if with reservations given the war between their countries - and spends the next few years serving in his forces until the Battle of Barhara, in which she disappeared.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

Role

When Kinbois departed Castle Genoa to attempt to retake Castle Evans to the north, he placed Ira in charge of Genoa's defence, with only a small defence force serving under her. Determined to ensure Shanan's safety from both Kinbois and the impending army led by Sigurd - her enemy, being of Grandbell - Ira actively and relentlessly engaged Sigurd's forces in combat. Sigurd got around her and seized Genoa, then freed Shanan from his imprisonment and, with his freedom, convinced Ira to stand down and ally with his army. Ira agreed, for Shanan's benefit, but reminded Sigurd that her country was still at war with Grandbell, that as such he was still technically her enemy, and that should the need one day arise she would not hesitate to treat him as such.

During the war, if she married, Ira gave birth to twin children: Lakche and Skasaher. Following the defeat of Langobalt and Sigurd's capture of Castle Lubeck, the two are sent away along with the infant Seliph to the outskirts of Isaac, under the protection of Shanan and Oifey; though Sigurd wanted her to go with them, she stays with his forces, telling him that she intends to finish the war and that Shanan can now look after himself.

Ira was present at the Battle of Barhara, in which Sigurd's army was executed by the mages of Velthomer, but her ultimate fate in its aftermath - whereas other female members of Sigurd's army survived it, if temporarily - remains unknown, both in-universe and otherwise. Lakche, for her part, firmly believed that Ira was still alive seventeen years later, and fiercely rebuked Skasaher for suggesting otherwise.
