Eda

Eda is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. A Knight from Thracia, she is the younger sister of Dean. Eda first appears in Chapter 13, where she, Dean, and Glade survey the dire circumstances of Tahra's invasion and discuss what to do to continue its defense. When Eda recklessly offers to engage the enemy alone, Dean stops her, explaining that she will make a perfect target for the ballistae before imparting the hit-and-run tactics of dragon riders. While the Empire is poised to launch a full-scale attack on Tahra in Chapter 14, Eda shares a conversation with Linoan, where it is revealed that Dean is not present for the pre-battle meeting due to being uncomfortable in such formal settings. Eda then goes on to continue supporting Leif in his cause to liberate Northern Thracia from the Grannvale Empire. She stays at Altena's side thereafter, serving as a source of comfort for the devastated princess. Eda never seeks out her own happiness, choosing instead to devote her life to rebuilding Thracia and supporting Altena. Eda is portrayed as a knight who is fiercely loyal to her duties to a fault. This is shown through her readiness to recklessly rush into the field of battle alone, sacrificing her life to engage the enemy. Eda's self-sacrificial nature extends to her interpersonal relationships, where she, even after the New Kingdom of Thracia is established, chooses to serve as Altena's aide instead of seeking out her own happiness.
