Rhajat

"I owe you my life. All of it. Every hour, every day, until the end. You've got my full attention. I'll watch you like a hawk on a mouse. Forever and ever—until one of us is no more. And maybe then some."

- Rhajat to the Avatar after they rescue her at the end of her Paralogue.

Rhajat (シャラ Shara, Syalla in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates.

Profile
Rhajat is the daughter of Hayato. She has the darkest thoughts in the army. Her birthday is April 1.

In her Paralogue, Rhajat finally succeeded in learning to summon Faceless soldiers. Unfortunately, this occurred during a visit by Hayato and the army. Quickly moving in to defeat her Faceless, her Faceless are quickly dispatched by the army. Hayato can talk with her during the battle. If he does, he will tell her to stop summoning Faceless and she will comply with it. After the battle, Hayato is upset that she decided to go for the more advanced dark arts (summoning Faceless) and orders her to go with him so he can supervise her magical training. As she knows she cannot object to her father's decision, she goes along with him, provided that he can give her challenges.

Before leaving, Rhajat decides to have one final look at her house when a Faceless that survived the battle ambushes her. The Avatar kills the Faceless before it can attack her. Rhajat thanks the Avatar for protecting her and vows to help them no matter what, albeit in an obsessive manner. Should the Avatar be her mother, a slightly different event occurs. Rhajat apologizes to her for letting her spell go out of her control, but the Avatar forgives her, relieved that she is ultimately unharmed. Rhajat is touched by her mother's kindness, but states that her affections for her transcend their familial bonds. While the Avatar does not understand it, Rhajat pledges to be there for her mother and is happy to leave the realm in order to be close to her.

Personality
Rhajat is a loner, preferring to stay away from others, especially those who she has no interest in. Her non-sibling supports with Shigure indicate that she used to suffer serious power incontinences when she was younger, leading her to be feared and to isolate herself from other people in fear of hurting them and being rejected.

Rhajat has a particular obsession with the Avatar after they saved her from a Faceless ambush at the end of her paralogue. She also tells them that it started when she was young and energetic, as she almost fell off a cliff if not for the Avatar who saved her and she changed her personality after that incident.

Her relationship with her father comes off initially as cold and condescending because she is technically older than he is, however, It is revealed that her cold personality is a means to mask her loneliness due to being raised in the Deeprealms by herself. When Hayato insists on bonding with her no matter what, she actually breaks down crying. This shows that even though she is older than Hayato is, she nevertheless cares a great deal about him.

Rhajat also cares a great deal about her mother, wanting said mother to trust her despite the opinions of others, such as the villagers in their supports. They also reveal that she's quite singleminded in her non-Avatar pursuits, like when she completely focuses on finding a cure to an illness despite being mistaken as the source of said sickness in the first place.

Base Class
Rhajat inherits Hayato's decent stat spread with a modest Magic and Speed modifier to give her a solid performance as a Diviner. Her Magic potency varies either having extremely high potential with mothers like Felicia, Orochi, and Nyx's +5 or neutral changes from Hinoka and Oboro. Her speed is the same, seeing as high as a +6 modifier from Azura and Setsuna or at her neutral base of +1 with Orochi. For the most part, she is likely to launch powerful attacks and can kill most enemies in a single round of combat. Her main downsides are her low Skill and Defense modifiers, making it hard for her to hit her opponent and if she in turn is hit physically, she can suffer greatly. In the end, she is a very glass-cannon like mage with certain mothers, dishing out great damage while suffering the same if she is hit herself. Her Personal Skill, Vendetta, allows her to be a very dangerous unit to engage and leave alive as she deals 4 more damage whenever she reinitiates combat with a unit she had previously encountered on that map.

As a Diviner, she starts of with Magic +2 which falls off quickly with her strong Magic growths and Future Sight to boost her EXP gains when training. Her two promotion options have two different results which have good applications depending on her mother. Onmyoji brings her magic to its fullest potential as its pure emphasis on Magic damage along with the ability to heal makes her a very potent magic unit. Rally Magic can assist allies by boosting her magic while Tomefaire adds a guaranteed +5 damage to her Tome based attacks. Overall, for most magic potent Rhajat, this is the class to go with with mothers with strong Magic modifiers for her. Basara introduces the ability to use Lances and Naginatas. For mothers who give her decent Strength modifiers, like Kagero and Effie, this class is worth using to exploit her ability to deal both physical and magical damage. She learns Rend Heaven, to boost he damage based on her enemy's Strength or Magic stat, depending on the weapon, and Quixotic which, while it gives the benefits to her enemies as well as herself, she gets the needed boost to her Hit Rate and Skill activation rates that is a result of her low Skill growths.

Secondary Class
As Rhajat's base class is the same as her father Hayato's, she will inherit his Oni Savage class set.

From the Oni Savage class, Rhajat can learn Shove to push allies out of the way and allow her to finish off the opponent if the ally in question did not kill them. Seal Resistance compliments her high magic stat to allow her to deal more damage onto enemies with magic. The promotions in this class set are the Oni Chieftain and Blacksmith classes.

As an Oni Chieftain, Rhajat can also use axes, though her initially low strength can hamper her from using them efficiently. Fortunately, this class is able to use magic, so she can fit well in this class. She will get increased durability and physical defense, but her skill will drop considerably due to this class' low skill growth and cap. In this class, she can learn Death Blow to deal more critical hits, and Counter to punish opponents that try to attack her in melee range. Sadly, the low Skill of the Oni Chieftain will underscore her difficulty with accuracy; however, this can be decently remedied by equipping skills like Certain Blow and Quixotic.

As a Blacksmith, Rhajat can use swords and axes. However, she may have trouble in this class unless given a Bolt Axe/Levin Sword, due to her initially low strength stat. In this class, she can learn Salvage Blow, though the nature of this skill makes it relatively useless for her. Lancebreaker makes her an effective lance killer, increasing her accuracy and evasion against them.

Maternal Inheritance and Tertiary Class

 * Avatar: Since the Avatar's stats and classes are selected by the player, Rhajat's stats will vary greatly. A magic-oriented Avatar will compliment her magic growth nicely, but the player should avoid a skill-bane Avatar as it will further hurt Rhajat's skill growth and cap. The Avatar passes down the Nohr Princess class, giving Rhajat access to Dragon Fang for more damage and Nobility for an increased experience gain. The promotions she gets from this class are the Hoshido and Nohr Noble (Nohr Noble is only available in Revelation); from the Hoshido Noble class, Rhajat learns some utility skills, Dragon Ward to protect adjacent allies and Hoshidan Unity to help her activate skills more often. From the Nohr Noble class, Rhajat can learn Draconic Hex to cripple opponents who are unable to kill her and Nohrian Trust to use her partner's skills.
 * Azura - Azura gives Rhajat some decent modifiers, notably a +6 speed cap, though she will suffer a high defensive penalty of -3. Azura gives Rhajat the Pegasus Knight set. From this class, Rhajat can learn Darting Blow to get a speed advantage whenever she initiates battle (which will go well with her Personal Skill  if she has fought them already) and Camaraderie, though her low health prevents her from using it efficiently. The promotions are the Falcon Knight and Kinshi Knight classes. The only noteworthy skill for Rhajat is Warding Blow from the Falcon Knight class to give her increased resistance against magical attacks whenever she initiates a battle, another skill which can work nicely with her Personal Skill.
 * Orochi - Orochi gives Rhajat some satisfactory modifiers, notably a +5 magic cap modifier to increase her offensive capabilities. She does suffer a small drop in physical defense, but all of her other caps have positive modifiers. Since Rhajat shares the same class as Orochi, she will pass down the Apothecary line instead. Nothing special comes from this set, apart from Replicate to double her offensive capabilities, though care should be taken due to her poor durability.
 * Nyx (Revelation only) - Nyx gives a similar set of modifiers as Orochi; however, there are some notable differences, such as a much higher speed modifier at the cost of skill. Nyx passes down the Dark Mage set. From this starting class, Rhajat can learn Malefic Aura for a small damage modifier when she attacks with magic, and Heartseeker to reduce the opponent's evasion (and help her accuracy), though the fact that she has to be adjacent to whoever she is attacking makes it rather risky. The class promotions are the Sorcerer and Dark Knight classes. As a Sorcerer, Rhajat gets more magic and the ability to S-Rank in tomes, giving her additional damage. Vengeance allows her to deal more damage as her health lowers, though she will need some Seraph Robes to fully use it, and Bowbreaker to further increase her accuracy against bow users. The Dark Knight class offers extra mobility, the ability to use swords and increased physical defense, but will also give her a beast weakness and a slight drop in speed. Seal Magic helps her cripple magic users and Lifetaker to replenish her health when she defeats an opponent.

Buddy Class
Rhajat has 4 buddy options: Selkie, Mitama, Caeldori and Ophelia. Note that her supports with Ophelia are only available in Revelation.


 * Selkie - Selkie offers the Apothecary class set for Rhajat, entailing the Merchant and Mechanist promotions.
 * Mitama - Mitama offers the Shrine Maiden class set for Rhajat, entailing the Priestess and Onmyoji promotions; note that the Onmyoji class is open to Rhajat due to her base class being Diviner, so the benefits of Onmyoji are listed above.
 * Caeldori - Caeldori offers the Sky Knight class set for Rhajat, entailing the Falcon Knight and Kinshi Knight promotions.
 * Ophelia - Ophelia offers the Dark Mage class set for Rhajat, entailing the Sorcerer and Dark Knight.
