— Johalva
|
(Japanese: ヨハルヴァ Johalva) is the youngest son of Duke Danan of Dozel. Along with his elder brother Johan, he served his father in the Grannvale occupation of Isaach, presiding over Sophara Castle. He came into conflict with his family over the rise of Seliph's liberation army in Isaach, or rather over Larcei/Radney, one of its warriors.
Biography
When Seliph commenced his fight to liberate Isaach, at first Johalva and his axe warrior unit remained stationed as a defensive perimeter surrounding Sophara Castle; once Ganeishire fell to Seliph, the order came through from Danan for both him and Johan to attack, to which Johalva agreed despite his misgivings about fighting Larcei/Radney. Upon encountering Larcei/Radney, he was swayed to side with Seliph's army, provoking Johan; otherwise, when Johan was recruited to Seliph's side, Johalva was provoked by him getting to Larcei/Radney first, and died in battle with Seliph's army.
Role
Before recruitment, Johalva is the boss of Sophara Castle. He starts the chapter as a neutral unit who doesn't move, and becomes an enemy and launches an attack once Ganeishire Castle has been seized. The player has a choice of recruiting either him or Johan; the brother not recruited remains a boss and must still be fought. If recruited, Sophara Castle becomes a partner castle, and any surviving members of the Sophara army become partner units.

Personality and character
In contrast to Johan, Johalva is more down-to-earth and straightforward: he presents himself as being rough-hewn and seeks to protect that image, but has no interest in the bullying tactics of his father.[1] A decent person unlike his father, he refused to follow through on performing the more heinous activities of the Grannvale occupation such as the child hunts,[2] and was consistently frustrated by Danan's constant bending over backwards to accommodate the will of the Loptyrians.[3] Even so, he saw himself as nonetheless culpable for the misfortunes of Isaach, seeking to atone by joining Seliph's army.[4] For much of his life, Johalva held a rivalry with Johan and the two constantly quarreled, fuelled partially by their mutual interest in Larcei/Radney;[5] their rivalry ultimately resulted in the two going head to head as enemies.[6]
