A gentle spirit at heart, Princess Eirika of Renais lacks her brother Ephraim's love of combat. Nonetheless, she is no shrieking violet; when the situation calls for it, she will take up arms and defend her countrymen without hesitation. And thus, with her capital overrun by Grado's forces and her brother Ephraim on a dangerous mission deep in enemy territory, Eirika sets off on the trail of war, seeking to help her beleaguered subjects however she can and aid her brother in his fighting.

She now steps into the DL, seeking to hone her combat skills in an environment free from the cruelties and devastation wrought by war, so that Renais will not be so unprepared the next time it is invaded. Eirika successfully replicated Fire Emblem's success and is now in Godlike, where she competes with the DL's best.
