“Wh-what did you just say!? There are no gentlemen in this land half as fine as Sir Makalov!”
—Astrid, putting in a good word for Makalov.

Astrid (ステラ Sutera) is a member of the Crimean Royal Knights and a former member of Begnion's noble House Damiel. She was engaged against her wishes to Duke Lekain of Gaddos, a sinister man and major antagonist of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. She left home to avoid becoming a trophy wife.

Character history

Path of Radiance

Astrid made her first appearance in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance in Chapter 13. Astrid had used her high class connections to find a ship leaving Begnion and then she managed to get passage on that ship. She was attempting to escape her life as a noble since her parents were trying to marry her off to a much older man (revealed to be Lekain).

The ship Astrid had boarded was actually going to meet up with Ike and Princess Elincia and was carrying the Apostle Sanaki. When Ike spotted the ship it was under attack from Daein soldiers (who flew no flag) and a few hired Kilvas Ravens. Ike's group then rushed to the ships aide.

Before the Chapter 13 battle between the three ships Astrid talks to Gatrie, whom she had hired to escort her. Gatrie is not fond of the idea of Astrid fighting but she insists anyways, and her skill with a bow is undeniable.

After the chapter Astrid will join up with Ike's group, figuring that eventually she will be able to follow them away from Begnion, even though they went back to Begnion after the ship battle in Chapter 13. Astrid will stay on with the group until the game's end.

Through her Path Of Radiance Support Conversations it is shown how nice Astrid is. She is often shy and meek when speaking to people but very kind. At one point she gives a family heirloom to Makalov who plans to sell it for money to gamble. However in the Level-A conversation he returns it saying Marcia made him (if Marcia was slain in any battle previously, it is Ike who demands that Makalov return it to Astrid), however his returning it gave Astrid a great respect for Makalov despite his wild ways.

After Path Of Radiance Astrid joins the Crimean Royal Knights.

Radiant Dawn

Astrid appears in Part 2 of Radiant Dawn along with Makalov, Kieran and the other Crimean Royal Knights. When she first appears, she defends Makalov's actions in Largo and Calill's Inn.

She, along with the other Crimean Royal Knights (and Danved if you read the base conversation), launch an attack on Ludveck in Chapter 3 of Part 2. However Ludveck is not there and is attacking Fort Alpea. The Royal Knights then arrive as reinforcements in the Part 2 Endgame.

Astrid ends up joining the Laguz Alliance in Part 3. Then later in Part 4 she becomes involved in the march on the Tower Of Guidance. She can usually be found during that period following Makalov around "cleaning up his messes" as Marcia says. Her friends wonder what she sees in the man.

In Radiant Dawn, she is currently engaged to Makalov, despite her friends' protests. She adamantly defends Makalov whenever he is criticized for his drinking, gambling, and poor work habits.

She marries Makalov if they have an A support, but she never tames him. They are one of only a few units in the game that can marry after the Endgame if they share an A-Level support, and most of the other units that can marry are those who are more important to the story line (Naesala, Elincia, etc...)

This war has given me the confidence to enter the service of the Begnion knights. Thank you so much!' Radiant Dawn Unassuming Knight (つつましき弓騎士 Tsutsumashiki Yumi Kishi) As a Royal Knight renowned through the land, Astrid's beauty and prowess were known to allies and enemies alike. (A support with Makalov) Astrid disregarded opposition and married the worst idler in three countries, but never tamed him. Quotes Recruit conversation Ike: Are you all right? Astrid: Who are you? Ike: My name's Ike. I'm with the Greil Mercenaries. I came to defend this ship-- and the apostle, if I can. Astrid: Is that so? I am Astrid, of House Damiell. Ike: A blueblood, huh? Well, unless you're good with a sword, you'd better hide yourself in a cabin. Astrid: I'll do no such thing. I once trained with knight and cavaliers. I may be of noble birth... but I know something of battle. I can fight. Ike: Well, if you can fight, we can use you. Let's work together. You going to be all right with that? Astrid: More so than I would be with hiding belowdecks, certainly. Death quote I...wanted... to live...more freely... Grandmother... Etymology Astrid comes from Astra which means star.
