Elen

"Oh, if you're going up front, then please take these vulneraries..."

- Elen in a support conversation with Milady in Binding Blade.

Elen (エレン Eren, Ellen in the fan translation) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Binding Blade. She is a young cleric in service as the lady-in-waiting to Guinivere, the princess of Bern. She escaped from Rude, a knight of Bern, who had taken her and her lady as hostage. Bumping into Roy, she enlists his help in saving Guinivere and offers to use her healing staff to aid his cause. With the aid of Eturian mercenaries hired by Eliwood, Rude and his cohorts are eventually crushed.

She and Zeiss grew up in the same hometown; in their support conversation, it is revealed that Elen is rather shy around men.

Elen is the first magic user in the game. She is a potential candidate to use Light Magic, which is virtually exclusive to the Bishop class in this game, unlike its prequel.

Overall
As a healer, Elen is quite frail, and plays the role of a glass cannon. She will quickly max Resistance and Luck, quickly develop her magic, and due to her bases, her skill and speed will usually be passable, but just barely. Her major flaw is her very low HP and Defense. After promotion she will gain the ability to use Light Magic and has the possibility to gain an S rank in either staves or Light Magic. As such, she is one of 3 recruitable Light Magic users, the others being Saul and Jodel.

Possible Endings
Elen returned to Bern with Guinivere to rebuild a land ravaged by war, and to reunite a people devastated by defeat. Her hard work and kind-hearted nature earned her the title, "The Saint of Bern."
