Linde

"Father... I'll be with you soon..."

- Linde's death quote

Linde (リンダ, Rinda) is a mage from Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi, Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. She is first recruitable in chapter 9. Linde is the daughter of Miloah, one of Gotoh's best students along with Gharnef, thus enabling her to use the powerful Aura spell. She is targeted by Gharnef's men, so she disguised herself as a boy, but in turn, she is captured and brought to a slave market. Marth freed her and Linde decides to join him to fight and avenge her father. She later moves to Pales and becomes Nyna's most trusted individual.

When Hardin fell into madness, Nyna entrusted the Fire Emblem to Linde and she joins up with Marth and helps him out. She later returns to Pales, and seems to have found an idol, in which her ending hints that she tries to make herself more beautiful possibly for the said idol.

Overall
Linde is very difficult to train, because she came so late in the game. Her stats aren't as balanced as others, but she can become a very powerful unit. She can use Aura, which boosts her usefullness. But, like Merric, Linde has low defense, and should work with archers, snipers, or some sort of guard. Her problem with HP can be solved with a Seraph Robe. If trained well, and stat-boosted in the right stats, she will make a good unit.
