“	You see, my heart is on fire!	”	— Silvia

Silvia (Japanese: シルヴィア Silvia) is a Jugdrali dancer distantly related to the nobility of Grannvale's House Edda. She was orphaned at a young age and raised by a man who trained her to be a dancer but abused her, whom she eventually escaped in her late teens. A year after doing so, while travelling in Agustria she met Lewyn and joined him in fighting in Sigurd's army in its war with Agustria and beyond. Silvia survived the Battle of Belhalla, but surrendered her infant children Lene and Coirpre to a convent in Dahna before disappearing.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

Role

Silvia was in an Agustrian village north of Mackily Castle, having spent some time with Lewyn, during the Grannvale-Agustria war. When Lewyn departed to fight a swarm of bandits dispatched to raid the villages by Lord Macbeth, Silvia insisted on following him into combat upon spotting him leaving the village, thinking he was abandoning her.

Analysis

Silvia is a Dancer who joins in Chapter 2 alongside Lewyn. Silvia primarily offers utility through her dances, refreshing up to four adjacent units. Four units with extra turns can greatly increase the speed at which enemies are defeated or distance is traversed, especially if those units are strong mounts such as Sigurd or Lachesis. However, as an infantry unit, she will fall behind any mounts she dances for, and may not catch up to other infantry units that get ahead of her; she can use well the Leg and Knight Rings. Silvia cannot obtain the Leg or Knight Rings directly, and must purchase them—they cost 60,000 gold in total; Silvia starts near the village that provides the Bargain Band, reducing the total cost to 30,000 gold, though the Bargain Band is an item many units may want, and Silvia she may still struggle to obtain the required gold.

Silvia offers little aside from her powerful dances. With her low strength and low weapon level, her combat is poor; her stats are primarily for her own defense. As she lacks Follow-Up, she cannot double enemies, but her high speed can prevent enemies from doubling her—in Chapter 2 with a Slim Sword, only Waltz and Erinys have the attack speed to double her, and only by one point. Her low HP, defense, and resistance limit her survivability—every enemy in Chapter 2 deals enough damage to reduce her to below half HP. When reduced to low HP, Miracle can boost her avoid to give her a chance to survive, potentially to the point where she cannot be hit; however, Miracle only boosts her avoid for one turn at a time, and requires that she be at risk to activate.

Though her combat is poor, Silvia can use Miracle to reliably clear the arena. By equipping or de-equipping Safeguard—which Silvia can obtain by visiting a village near Tófa in Chapter 4—she can influence her defense to be put in Miracle range and avoid all of her opponent's attacks; if her opponent does not reduce her to into a convenient Miracle range, she can be allowed to lose then partially healed to the point where they will, though enemies that one-shot her will still do so. This tactic can be used outside the arena to aid Silvia's survivability, though she will still do poor damage. This tactic does not work against magical opponents who target resistance; though Silvia has a decent resistance growth, she is unlikely to survive more than one or two attacks.
