Personality and character

Libra is typically calm, composed and somewhat stoic, and is trying to hide a traumatic history. He pays high amounts of attention to even the tiniest details. In his worship as a priest, he is very devout and prays to the gods more than anyone else in Chrom's army. He sports very feminine facial features which, combined with his long hair, leads to him being constantly mistaken for a female.
