Silque

"I'm Silque, a priestess in the service of the goddess Mila. I was captured by bandits and brought to this shrine. Please, take me away from here."

- Silque, when she joins Alm's group

Silque (シルク Shiruku, Silk in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. She is 19 years old.

Profile
A sweet-tempered sister of Mila, Silque became a cleric because of her mother's influence, who was also a cleric. It is later revealed that her mother was in the service of Duma and suddenly crossed the Zofian border; leaving Silque in a Zofian monastery and disappearing. Though not knowing her reasons, Silque began to dedicate her life to save people from suffering; believing this is her purpose in life.

She was then kidnapped by Thieves, who forced her into their shrine, later being rescued by Alm's group and becoming their healer. In Echoes, she entrusts Alm with Mila's Turnwheel. After the war, she heads to Rigel to heal the wounded.

Overall
When considering the two Clerics that are obtained at the beginning of each route, Silque can be thought of as the Cleric with offense oriented support spells, while Genny plays a more traditional defensive/healing support role.

There are 3 key spells that differentiate Silque and Genny. The first is their Invoke spells. Genny's Invoke spell is learned at level 4 and will spawn Soldiers, fairly weak units that are mainly used as distractions or to weaken enemy units; while Silque's Invoke spell is learned at level 18 and spawns Dread Fighters, which are much more powerful.

The second spell that differentiates the two Clerics is Silque's Warp spell. Warp gives Silque the ability to send adjacent units to any location on the map, allowing for a greater range of strategies and flexibility.

The third ability that differentiates the two Clerics is Genny's Physic spell, which allows Genny to heal a unit anywhere on the map. This makes keeping units alive in Celica's route easier since Genny never has to put herself in danger to heal her allies. On Alm's route, Tatiana can be recruited near the end of the game with the Physic ability already learned.

Silque's growths are well-balanced, except for her HP and Defense. Both Silque and Genny are vital to their respective parties due to the unique spells they have.
