VincentASM Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 It's amusing how the FE1/3 sections pale in comparison to the less orthodox sections. Summary Lena is a cleric and a former noble of Medon. She is a strong-willed and selfless young woman, who believes her duty is to aid the ill and poor. Bio History Lena was born into a powerful noble family of Medon. Her mother was a bishop who served the Grustian royal court and it's thought Lena inherited her mother's talent as a cleric. When Lena was 10 years old, her mother passed away and Lena was sent to live with her grandfather at Grust. She stayed at Grust for several years, training as a cleric. Along with her grandfather, she regularly visited the remote regions of Grust, striving to fulfill her purpose as a cleric. Grust was a harsh place to live and many of the developing farmers suffered from illness or were attacked by bandits. As her grandfather grew old and his powers declined, Lena decided to help the people in his place. Around this time, Lena became acquainted with Camus, a young military official from Grust. Camus was a noble-minded knight who protected the developing villages from bandits and often helped the farmers with their work. Living besides Camus had a big influence on Lena's life; from Camus, Lena learned that justice cannot be obtained without self-sacrifice. Later, the world entered an era of great uncertainty. Following his father's assassination, Prince Michalis ascended to the throne, but he struggled to grasp the peoples' hearts. Lena was summoned from Grust by her foster father, to serve as a female official under Princess Minerva. Michalis personally requested for Lena to become his queen, because of her beauty and wisdom, but also to reconcile with the powerful and elder nobility on Lena's foster father's side. The other women viewed Lena with great envy; they yearned to see Michalis's heroic appearance and would die to be in the same room as him. However Lena declined Michalis's proposal and left before his very eyes. In Akaneia Saga Days after Akaneia's royal palace fell, Lena and Rikard meet at the streets of Akaneia. By now, Lena has become a honourable thief along with Rikard and the two decide to steal from the palace to aid the poor. Rikard leaves to scout for patrolling soldiers, leaving Lena behind to wait for him. Just then, a man comes up to Lena and harasses her. As Lena tries to fend him off, Nabarl appears and threatens the man to leave Lena alone. Lena realises who Nabarl is and introduces herself. She then asks if Nabarl can aid her cause. She offers him 1000 Gold as payment and tells him that if it's insufficient, she can pay him more later. Nabarl accepts her request and Lena mentions that she's grateful for his help. Meanwhile, Rikard returns with an injured hunter by his side. This hunter turns out to be Castor, who explains he needs to earn gold to care for his ill mother. The four agree to band together and, that night, they stay at a inn to formulate a plan to infiltrate the palace. Once the city falls asleep, the four follow their plan and sneak into the palace. Inside the palace, Lena supports the group with her recovery and teleportation magic, while they raid the treasure chests. Later, they bump into Dice and Malice, a father and daughter treasure-hunter pair, who agree to join as long as they get paid. Eventually, the palace soldiers notice what's going on and Camus, the general in charge of the palace, appears to arrest the thieves. Camus notices Lena and asks why a cleric like her would resort to thievery. Lena explains that she's doing it for the sake of the citizens of Akaneia. She asks Camus whether he knows of the suffering that Doluna caused to the citizens by razing houses, stealing land and hoarding food supplies. Camus explains that he is pained by the situation as well. However he states that he's a soldier of Grust, a nation allied to Doluna, and that he cannot oppose his king. Lena is angered by his response and asks whether Camus is one of Doluna's pawn. Camus tells her that he has no choice in the matter. Nyna appears and asks Camus to reconsider. She states that Camus isn't a pawn at all, as he disobeyed Medeus's orders and gave Nyna the honour and freedom of a princess. She tells Camus to overlook Lena and the others' crimes and allows them to keep the treasures they earned, as long as they give back to the poor. Lena thanks Nyna and promises that she will indeed help the poor. Nyna then commands Camus to lead Lena and the others to safety. At the village outskirts, Camus recommends that the group leave immediately. Lena tells Camus to convey her thanks to Nyna and states that she'll never forget their favour. In Shadow Dragon After her exploits at Akaneia's royal palace, Lena ends up at Galder Habour. Despite the villagers' warnings, she heads to the nearby Ghoul's Teeth, home to the notorious Soothsire thugs, to care for the sick there. After her inevitable capture, Lena is rescued by Julian, a thief who up to that point worked for the Soothsires. Julian and Lena make their escape, right as the Altean Army advances to the Teeth. Lena mentions that she left behind her precious Mend staff and wishes to return to recover it. Julian refuses and states that he didn't betray his fellow Soothsires so that he could escape himself. He tells Lena to forget about the staff and that he'll go back and get it later. The two then hurry and join up with the Altean Army, led by Prince Marth. Marth suggests that Lena escape while his forces distract the enemy. However, Lena explains that she wants to help since she is a cleric. Marth accepts her offer of help and tells her to take care. When the Altean Army reaches Aurelis, Lena is surprised to see her brother, Matthis, working for the Medonian Army. When she asks why he's fighting, Matthis explains that, since Lena left Medon, Medon has gotten worse and worse. He states that he was forced to enlist in the army or else face execution. Lena chastises Matthis, saying that if he's going to fight, he should at least fight for a cause he believes in. She states that it's not too late to join the Altean Army and that they would happily accept him. Matthis then comments that he was certain that Lena had settled down with her one true love. Lena is shocked by his words and claims that she's met no such man. Matthis doesn't seem to believe her, but in any case he warns Lena to be careful of thieves. After the war ends, Lena cares for orphans at a convent in Medon. Julian presumedly follows her to Medon. In Mystery of the Emblem Along with three other noble clerics, Lena was abducted by Gharnef and used as a tool to resurrect Medeus. During the final chapter, she is awakened by Julian, who had joined the Altean Army in search of her. Lena tells Julian that she believed that he would come to rescue her and that's how she could continue living to this moment. She apologises to Julian for always acting like a spoiled brat and asks Julian if he could listen to another request of hers. She asks if he can call her just "Rena" from now on, as it sounds impersonal when he calls her "Miss Rena". She also mentions that they will be returning to Medon, to live together. She believes that the deities will forgive her actions, because of her love for Julian. After Medeus is finally defeated, Lena continues caring for the orphans at Medon along with Julian, if he survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriemhild Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Whoa! I had no idea that she had such a big role in Akaneia Saga (never played it). There are a bunch of stuff that are completely unknown to me though but it seems good. In FE3B1, I think she lost her "Warp Staff", not her "Mend Staff" but it might have been changed in Shadow Dragon. Also, in the last paragraph, you wrote "Rena" twice instead of "Lena" which is the official translation. Aside from those, it looks good. I actually learned a lot of stuff from this article.

Dr. Tarrasque Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) It wasn't changed, it's always been the Mend Staff that she lost: Lena mentions that she left behind her precious Mend staff and wishes to return to recover it. Julian refuses and states that he didn't betray his fellow Soothsires so that he could escape himself. IMO, the "Julian refuses" bit doesn't fit well with that first sentence as it currently is. "Lena is, however, hesitant to leave without her precious Mend staff and offers to use her Warp staff to send Julian someplace safe." Just a suggestion (probably made a grammatical error there...). EDIT: @Lightbrand, re-read the first sentence >_>. Made a mistake there. Edited February 6, 2009 by Levin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriemhild Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) It wasn't changed, it's always been the Warp Staff that she lost: Sorry, I never played Shadow Dragon. Edit: Whoops sorry. Didn't realize that the missing staff was the one she DIDN'T have. Edited February 7, 2009 by LightBrand99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Also, in the last paragraph, you wrote "Rena" twice instead of "Lena" which is the official translation. Aside from those, it looks good. I actually learned a lot of stuff from this article. Silly me, I rushed that part. I'll also have to see what the English translation used for "Miss Rena" since I can't remember off the top of my head. IMO, the "Julian refuses" bit doesn't fit well with that first sentence as it currently is."Lena is, however, hesitant to leave without her precious Mend staff and offers to use her Warp staff to send Julian someplace safe." Just a suggestion (probably made a grammatical error there...). Yeah, I agree with you. I couldn't really think of a good way to link the two sentences, but I quite like your suggestion.

Emperor Hardin Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Wait people know the full script and dialogue of the BS games? Can you post them all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Kiddo is working on translating the scripts, here and they've already completed Chapter 1 and are starting on Chapter 2. I translated the Chapter 3 script myself for this article, but it's all in my head. As in I wasn't trying to do a proper translation, and I trust Kiddo can do a better job than me ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
