Tharja: "Normal Girl"

A mage from Plegia who, while usually creepy, is acting bright and cheerful...for some reason. Tharja is a Dark Mage from Plegia who joins Chrom's army during the conflict with King Gangrel. Though aligned with Plegia at first, she expresses open disdain for the war and little loyalty to her homeland or its ruler. After questioning her orders and being approached by Chrom, she defects to the Shepherds willingly. She is reclusive, morbid, and intensely private, often preferring isolation and dabbling in curses. Tharja is most known for her obsessive fixation on Robin. Regardless of Robin’s gender, she becomes consumed by their presence, documenting their behaviors, habits, and movements in disturbing detail. Her fixation drives her to change her entire demeanor at the slightest sign of approval from Robin, though she struggles to maintain such a facade. While her personality is cold and abrasive, especially toward those she considers distractions from Robin, she shows rare glimpses of empathy. She spares Nowi emotional pain by softening the truth about her parents, and though her relationship with her daughter Noire is strained, she attempts to shield her from the dangers of dark magic despite having used her in experiments in the future timeline. Tharja holds no true allegiance to any nation and sees most others as nuisances. She becomes flustered when attention is drawn to her appearance, despite being unaware of its effect. Though emotionally stunted and socially detached, she does demonstrate loyalty to those she chooses to care for in her own cryptic way. According to Nowi, she had the silkiest hair and largest breasts out of the women of Chrom's army. Tharja’s “Normal Girl” persona is an awkward, endearing attempt at domesticity wrapped around her usual dark eccentricity. She tries to act cheerful, polite, and socially graceful—sprinkling her speech with exaggerated “huzzahs” and forced smiles—but her true morbid fascinations constantly slip through the cracks. Beneath the façade, she remains the same obsessive, mischievous sorceress with a fascination for curses, hexes, and Robin, her attempts at normalcy veering into unsettling territory that’s equal parts comedic and unnerving. Yet, when her act inevitably unravels, Tharja reveals a rare vulnerability: a witch genuinely trying, in her own bizarre way, to connect with others and be accepted for who she is.

Appearance

Tharja has pale skin. She has long, straight black hair that reaches her thighs, with soft violet undertones visible under light. Her bangs fall evenly across her forehead, cut straight just above her eyes, while the rest of her hair fans out freely around her shoulders and down her back. Her eyes are pale purple. She wears a small, golden crown-like headband at the top of her head, from which extend large, curved reindeer antlers. The antlers are brown and detailed with subtle shading and texture. Small red ornaments hang from each side of the antlers with green ribbon ties. She wears a revealing Christmas-themed outfit (her midriff and upper thighs are completely exposed) consisting of a small red bra trimmed with white fur, secured by gold straps and a central green bow beneath her chest. Around her neck is a wide white-fur collar connected to a luxurious red cloak lined inside with a deep indigo fabric patterned with gold stars. The cloak’s edges are trimmed with thick white fur, and it drapes around her shoulders and behind her body. Her lower body is covered only by matching red and gold panties with a gold waistband and small green bows tied at her hips, attached by dangling gold chains. Her long, slender legs are covered in sheer black thigh-high stockings, each topped with a red and green striped ribbon and a gold bell. The stockings end in high heels of metallic gold, pointed and elegant. Two long ribbons—green and red, trimmed in gold—hang from her hips, weighted by small gold anchor-shaped charms at the ends. She wears a translucent black arm sleeves ending at the wrist, leaving her fingers bare but painted with black nail polish. In her left hand, she holds a silver candleholder carrying three tall red candles lit with soft yellow flames. Tharja uses a Candelabra as a tome to fight using dark magic. She is an armored unit.

Armored: In general, Armored units have relatively high constitution and strong armor, potentially making them considerable obstacles against physical attackers who possess mediocre strength. Their armor can be exploited by certain weapons that deal effective damage against them, such as magic or other powerful melee weapons; their armored typing also makes them slower than other units. 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. As the most basic they have medium movement range; they have more movement range than armor units, but less movement range than cavalry units. Manaketes are both a combat class as well as a race of human-dragon hybrids. Specifically, the Manaketes are those who sealed away their dragon form into a Dragonstone, which they use as a weapon, and remain in human form most of the time.
