Vanessa

"Oh boy... Let's go, Titania. It's clear that Mr. Slug here needs his beauty rest."

- Vanessa trying to wake up Forde in a support conversation.

Sincere, honest, and honorable, Vanessa is one of Frelia's Pegasus knights. She is Syrene's younger sister and harbours a crush on her prince, Innes. Along with Moulder and Gilliam, she is one of the three soldiers you receive when you first reach Castle Frelia. She admires her sister's ability, though it turns out Syrene admires Vanessa's ability to remain calm and collected in the most hectic situations. She befriends Lute, the self-proclaimed prodigy, despite the fact that their A support conversation starts out with Lute trying to attack Vanessa's Pegasus, Titania. She may also form feelings for Forde, though she commonly scolds him for falling asleep in battle. It is revealed that she does love someone, for in her A support with Syrene, she tells her sister that she is also fighting this war for the man she loves.

Overall
Vanessa is a character well worth her salt. The only notable flaws are her low strength, defense, and health points, but her speed and luck will definitely make up for those lacks. She can deal good damage against axe and sword wielders alike once promoted to a Falcon Knight. If you want her to clear the floor equipped with only a spear, choose the Wyvern Knight, which comes with the ability to pierce through enemy defense. As well, she'll be able to have a strong advantage against magic wielders, having high resistance in both classes.

Triangle Attack
The triangle attack can only be done with the 3 Pegasus Knights in the game. They are Tana, Syrene and Vanessa. To do it, here's a little demonstration.


 * P = Pegasus Unit

 * This attack has 100% Hit and Critical rate, and each member will say a unique quote when they first initiate the attack.

Possible Endings

Vanessa and Innes ending: At Innes's request, Vanessa moved into Castle Frelia where she continued her duties as a knight of the realm. Thereafter, they had a child and lived happily with the blessings of all around them

Vanessa and Forde ending: Forde's love for Vanessa grew after the war, and although she loved him as well, she placed her duty to Frelia first. Undettered, Forde moved to Frelia himself. Over time, the two were wed.

Vanessa and Syrene Ending: Sisters Syrene and Vanessa returned to Frelia after the war for a long-overdue talk. They talked of love and war, of friends now gone. Together, they renewed their bond as siblings and vowed never to let that bond fail.

Etymology
This name was invented by English author Jonathan Swift by rearranging syllables in the name 'Esther Vanhomrigh,' one of his friends. 'Vanessa' is now the name of a genus of butterfly. There is an opera called Vanessa about a woman so named, who is deserted by her lover Anatol. Anatol's son, also called Anatol, seduces and impregnates Vanessa's niece, Erika. Then the young Anatol and Vanessa marry and depart, leaving Erika behind.
