Fire Emblem: You Choose the Characters! Chapter 8 recap and Chapter 9: Galia

Chapter 8 had many close calls. Ilyana almost died after Ike recruited her, Soren also had some issues with staying alive though he did not have as big of a problem as Ilyana. Mia helped out though she had a few issues living as well. I did get all of the good item drops for the mission and made it through alive somehow. Still, that was much harder than I thought it was going to be. Here is hoping this is not a sign of things to come.

Ilyana	Mage	8	20	2	8	11	11	8	3	11	Shade

Gave Ilyana a couple levels of bonus EXP as I have a strong feeling I will be using her, a lot.

The last mission I have more or less full control:

Description: There are a fair amount of enemies and though they are not too tough, I have to protect my newly recruited characters Mist, and Rolf from harm on a very open battlefield, and stop the pirates from destroying the two houses in the northwest. On turn 3-5 Marcia will come in and moves to talk with Ike. This will cause me to gain her as another unit. This mission is a little dangerous  if you are not careful, but with proper planning, it is not that bad.


New Characters: Mist, the sister to Ike
Class: Cleric (promotes to Valkyrie) 

The second healer of the game. Mist is the only sibling to Ike and one of the few people with the ability to hold chaos in her hands without going mad. She has a kind and somewhat stubborn personality.

Statwise she is one my favorite healers. She starts weak at level 1, but quickly grows to fill in the spot of primary healer of the group. Balanced stats all-round, and she gains a horse upon promotion giving her great mobility. The weird thing is that her weapon upon promotion is swords, not magic tomes. However, she is the greatest user of the rare magic swords because of this, she can even out-damage most mages with these swords! It takes work to get here, but it is totally worth it.

Miracle

I have already explained the skill miracle in the last post

Rolf, the young archer
Class: Archer (Promotes to Sniper)

The third and final of the green haired brother trio. Rolf is the youngest of the three brothers and thus the least experienced as well. This does not really stop him from doing the very best he can which is good because he is the only archer you get bar Shinon.

Statwise he is quite solid all-around. Even his bases are okay considering he is just level 1. He tends to be somewhat quick with high def so he can tank a couple hits if required. He can have some trouble dealing damage, but this can be fixed with a custom weapon.

Marcia, the high strung Pegasus Knight
Class: Pegasus Knight (Promotes to Falcon knight)

First off yes, the picture sucks in the quality department. This was what I could find that was official art for Path of Radiance. 

Marcia is a happy woman with a strong sense of family and duty. This would be better if her brother would be a good person and not borrow and gamble the funds away like a chowder head. Now she is on a mission to find him and beat some sense into him.

Statwise she is a Pegasus knight with average stats. Her bases are a bit generic, but she grows to be the best pegasus knight you get. She also has a super attack she gets to do on the final mission if you use her enough and get her promoted.
