Ninian is the dancer of ''The Blazing Blade'' along with her brother [[Nils]]. She comes with typical growths and bases for a dancer, high speed and luck and good growths, but poor durability. As Ninian cannot fight she will instead be relegated to dancing and using the magic rings. The magic rings she gets access to can be useful against some bosses or enemies, however Ninan will be dancing most of the time because of it's overall great utility. Because many chapters in ''The Blazing Blade'' emphasise speed, Ninian is highly recommended due to the ability to refresh allied units. Ninian is also extremely useful on ranked playthroughs due to making her own EXP and enabling lower turn count, Ninian is also obviously near essential on fatser playthroughs due to many startegies using her immensly. Ninian leaves after a certain chapter, but her inventory is ssent to Nils.

Because many chapters in ''The Blazing Blade'' emphasize speed, Ninian is highly recommended due to the ability to refresh allied units. Ninian is also extremely useful on ranked runs due to making her own EXP and enabling lower turn count; and is also essential on faster playthroughs due to many strategies using her immensely. She leaves the army after [[Cog of Destiny]], but her inventory and stats are transferred to her brother Nils, who will provide identical services starting from [[Victory or Death]].


Overall, due to being a dancer rating Ninian as anything else but one of the best units in the game would be downright foolish.

Ninian appears as an equippable [[Bond Ring]]. She can be summoned using [[Lyn]]'s [[Emblem Ring]].

Her kind nature leads her to try to remain a bit distant from others, since she believes herself to be perceived as dangerous by others.<ref>{{cite|Doesn’t everyone think that dragons are terrifying, man-eating beasts?
