Pegasus Knight

The Pegasus Knight is a unit class who fights on a flying Pegasus mount with a Lance (although, in Seisen no Keifu, they're able to use swords as well). These characters have the ability to fly over normally impassable terrain for long distances, a natural ability to fear should you be facing air units. Pegasus Knights tend to have very low defense and health, making them a little more fragile than other characters. Their high speed is their saving grace, easily avoiding attacks. It seems, game wise at most, that Pegasus Knights live in cold places with lots of snow.They are Female-only class.

In Thracia 776, they are the promoted version of the Pegasus Rider class.

Combat
The Pegasus Knight may seem fragile, but they are one of the most useful classes to have on the field. Their ability to fly giving them obvious advantages over opponents and the ability to use the rescue command in later Fire Emblem titles allows them to be used as a type of transport for ground units. When attacking, it is always important to pay attention to your enemies, as pegasus knights are weak against archers. However, they tend to have decent Resistance in most games of the series. (Example: In Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones, Pegasus Knights are resitant to magic.) While Pegasus Knights tend to focus on Speed more than Defense Defense is also present which makes them less fragile than Myrmidons (On the other hand, one could say that Myrmidons have more HP.)

Promotions
The Pegasus Knight was originally promoted into the Wyvern Rider, but these classes were eventually separated into two entirely different jobs. However, Pegasus Knights can promote to Wyvern Knight in Fire Emblem:The Sacred Stones. Currently, the Pegasus Knight upgrades into the Falcon Knight in most titles.

Weakness
This class weakness is bow. Althought it is hard to attack when you have this class unless you equip a Javalin to strike back.

Uniform
Characters of the Pegasus Knight class are often depicted in a tunic, sometimes they are wearing a miniskirt underneath the tunic, and it only just covers the lower half of the waist. They do not wear leggings but most are shown with knee hight boots or long socks. Some have a headband tied around their head.

For armour they wear a breastplate and shoulder guards.
