Tharja: Obsessive Bride

A mage from Plegia with a dark side and a possessive streak. Determined to get her hands on the festival's prize, a bouquet. Tharja is a Dark Mage who hails from Plegia, though she does not care about the conflict between Plegia and Ylisse. After joining Chrom's army, she develops a strange obsession with Robin, regardless of their gender. Her support with Nowi reveals that she has the power to read fortunes using a Manakete's scales, and can divine the location of anyone or anything using one. She has the darkest thoughts in the army. Tharja is among the forces trying to stop Chrom and his army from rescuing Emmeryn Plegia Castle. However, Tharja questions why she has to fight for such a pointless reason and holds nothing but disdain for the Plegian King, Gangrel. If Chrom speaks to Tharja, Chrom will ask her to join his cause since that is what his sister would do; Tharja, who is reluctant to fight in the first place, joins afterwards. Dark, brooding, and moody, Tharja is a reclusive woman who prefers to keep her interests to herself and does not enjoy the company of most people. She is most noted for her obsession with Robin. She stalks them from a distance and keeps meticulous records of their every action down to the number of times they have tossed in bed compared to previous nights. Her deepest desire is to be of use to them and vies for their attention and possible affection as well. Her desire is so pronounced that even the slightest comment or recommendation from Robin causes her to completely remodel her entire personality into a "normal girl." Her reeducation was so thorough that she struggled to return to her normal self when they told her they preferred her real personality. Tharja is cold and moody around other people, especially when they interfere with her attempts to gain Robin's attention. Despite being a Plegian, she holds no true loyalty to her nation, and prior to joining the Shepherds, she had no clear bonds with anyone beforehand. She openly stated her disgust at Gangrel's actions and has stated that he was unworthy of his title. She has also expressed regret and sympathy over the lives lost for the sake of his ambitions. While she may come off as uncaring, Tharja does actually care a deal for her allies, even subtly telling Nowi that her parents are "far away" to spare her the grief of knowing that her parents have since passed on. Her relationship with her daughter Noire is complicated as her future-self used her as a guinea pig for some of her curses and even taught her the dark arts. Deep down she does not wish for her daughter to be plagued by the risks of dark magic and while having difficulty expressing it, she does love her daughter. While having no idea of her own sex appeal due to her figure and fairly revealing outfit, Tharja was quickly embarrassed when it was pointed out to her in her conversation with Cordelia, becoming more self-conscious of her appearance and developing a talisman to suppress this newfound feeling. In her conversations with Nowi in Xenologue 16, she was also embarrassed when Nowi said that she had the silkiest hair and largest breasts out of the women of Chrom's army. A mage from Plegia with a dark side and a possessive streak. Determined to get her hands on the festival's prize, a bouquet.

Her long, flowing hair is deep black with a glossy sheen, cascading in thick, wavy strands down to her hips, accented by two high-set side tufts that frame her head. Her eyes are a pale violet color, bright and striking beneath straight, blunt-cut bangs that fall evenly across her forehead. A thin gold circlet rests atop her head, curving gently around her hairline. She wears an elaborate, revealing outfit dominated by purples, blacks, and gold detailing. The bodice is a tightly fitted, deep-plum corset with vertical paneling and gold trim that lifts and shapes her chest. Beneath it, sheer black fabric covers her torso and arms, clinging close to her skin and connecting into long, translucent sleeves. Gold accents sit at her shoulders and collar, forming a structured, ornate neckline. Her outer garment is a long, flowing purple cloak lined in dark feathers along the sides, opening wide to reveal her legs. Around her waist sits a draped, violet sash with gold embroidery, gathered elegantly at her hips. Her legs are covered in sheer black stockings that rise to her upper thighs, meeting thin gold bands.

The Askr Bridal Tournament is a ceremonial event held annually within the Kingdom of Askr, blending pageantry with battle in a celebration of unity across worlds. Originally conceived as a peaceful festival to honor the bonds forged through summoning, it has since become a beloved tradition among the heroes summoned by the Order. Though named for bridal attire, the tournament is not a wedding ritual, but rather a symbolic display of grace, skill, and strength under the theme of ceremonial dress—specifically, bridal regalia. Participants don ornate, often culturally inspired bridal garments that reflect their homeland’s traditions or personal ideals. These outfits are formal, but specially tailored for battle, allowing for free movement and combat readiness. The tournament’s events vary each year and include mock battles, duels, archery contests, obstacle races, and displays of magical finesse. Despite the competition, the emphasis is on camaraderie, respect, and cross-cultural exchange between realms. Heroes view the event with mixed sentiments—some with lighthearted humor, others with solemn pride. For many, it’s an opportunity to honor their roots, loved ones, or simply show the strength of their resolve. For others, it’s a chance to share moments of levity amid the ongoing war with Embla.

Cavalry: Fast units that attack while on horseback. They are very fast an can cover a lot of distance. Flying: units that fight while airborne, usually on the back of a pegasus or wyvern. They can fly over most obstacles. Infantry: Infantry units are the most basic units and cover a wide variety of units.
