- Severa

Severa (セレナ Serena, Serena in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Awakening. She is the daughter of Cordelia, and one of the characters from the future. She is one of few female Mercenaries, and the first one in a main series title, barring Reclassing. Severa can potentially be the sister of Morgan. She is voiced by Saori Seto in the Japanese version and Julie Ann Taylor in the English version.

Profile
Being compared to her "perfect" mother and later witnessing her mother's death left her with an inferiority complex and abandonment issues, causing her to be cold and harsh to the public; however, she still has a soft side, as demonstrated with her support conversations with Cordelia and her father. She is confident in her cute looks and is willing to use them to her advantage. She carries her mother's ring, her only memento of her. She is a potential sister of Morgan. She is the biggest squanderer in the army. Her birthday is January 21st.

In her Paralogue, Severa is forced by Nelson to fight against Chrom's army in order to retrieve her precious ring which was stolen when she was sleeping. Another person, Holland, was also forced to fight as well. Severa eventually meets up with her mother and Chrom's army and asks them to help her get to Holland so she can talk to him. When Severa reaches him she chastises him for fighting for blood money and convinces him to return to his family so his future child will not suffer a tragic upbringing like she did. After defeating Nelson and retrieving her ring she talks to Cordelia, who recognizes the ring. Cordelia realizes that Severa is her child and Severa is happy to finally be back with her mother again, although she does not express it openly.

In her support with her father, she cons her father into taking her shopping and buys way too much. Upon her next attempt her father makes her work for it by doing chores. In the final support Severa feels inferior to her mother because she cannot do any of the chores correctly such as sharpening swords or cooking and feels like she's let her father down. Her father consoles her and she makes him vow never to leave her again.

Etymology
Severa is the feminine variant of the Latin severus meaning severe, serious or grave in demeanor, which is befitting given her personality.

The name Serena comes from a Late Latin name which was derived from Latin serenus meaning "clear, tranquil, serene", which is somewhat ironic given her harsh personality. In conjunction with her mother, their names refer to "love and peace" in the Japanese version.
