Light Priestess (巫女, Miko), known in Japan as the Shaman (シャーマン, Shaaman) is a class exclusive to Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Using light magic and staves, the Light Priestess is the final class of the major character Micaiah, in a three-class promotion line - she starts as a Light Mage, then becomes a Light Sage, and finally finishes in the Light Priestess class.
With strong light magic as well as the utility of staves to aid allies, Michaiah has a mix of offensive and defensive capabilities. Her high speed and resistance help her when attacked, but she still suffers from mediocre HP and a dismal defense stat. Micaiah herself has the Sacrifice skill, which, as the name implies, lowers her HP to heal an ally. This, while useful, can be risky, and combined with her poor defensive stats she is generally a very vulnerable unit.
The Japanese name links the class to the Shaman class of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, in which shamans were female sister-like users of light and staves. The name was likely changed for international release to avoid confusion with the dark magic-using class present in the Game Boy Advance games released worldwide - Blazing Sword and The Sacred Stones.
