Background
Born in Ilia, Farina is the younger sister of Fiora and the older sister of Florina, Farina is a member of the 3rd Wing of Ilia's Pegasus Knights, known as the Strongwings. She comes off as miserly and crude at times, as she must be paid in order to join Hector's army, but she proves to care deeply for her friends. Farina can develop a love interest for the pirate Dart, or the cavalier Kent. Farina can also develop an A support with Hector, and marry him, causing her to be a possible mother of Lilina.

Overall
Farina has a very impressive strength growth, but her cap is very low and she will max it before long. Her Skill and Speed are lower than her sisters', but she has higher defense. Her Resistance is alright but nothing special for her class. Her Luck is decent, as well as her HP. Her Con is too low to wield even most swords, so she may have trouble doubling Swordmasters when using lances. Her joining time is very late, but she is not of the Est archetype. However, this makes her an excellent candidate for the Afa's Drops, if the player chooses not to level Nino.

Recruitment
Speak to her in Chapter 25 of Hector's story mode and pay her. It should be noted that if the player talks to her a second time, even if its the turn after the first conversation, and the player refuses to pay her she will leave and it will become impossible to recruit her. Oddly talking to her with her two sisters Florina and Fiora will have no effect on her payment.

Etymology
Farina's name is a pun with her sisters' names; while Florina and Fiora's names mean 'flower' as in a blossom, the name 'Farina' means 'flour' as in the principle ingredient for bread, in Latin and Italian. This could also refer to Farina's preoccupation with making money, by using the slang term 'dough.'
