“Leif, wherever you go, I shall follow... even to the ends of the continent.”
—Nanna to Leif in Genealogy of the Holy War
Nanna is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. She is the daughter of Lachesis, the younger sister of Diarmuid, and a cousin of Ares. As a member of the noble family of Agustria's House Nordion, she possesses minor Hezul blood. She is also the canonical love interest of Leif.
While it is commonly believed that Nanna and Diarmuid may have different fathers (Finn and Beowolf respectively), it is stated in Fire Emblem's 20th Anniversary Book that her biological father is whoever the player married Lachesis to, and that Finn is more of her adoptive father. Still, the pool of men that Lachesis can marry does include Finn, Nanna considers Finn her father no matter what in Thracia 776 AND Thracia has her unable to use the Beo Sword (unlike Diarmuid and Fergus), so the matter remains muddled.
Her substitute character is Jeanne in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War.
Profile
Edit
Genealogy of the Holy WarEdit
Nanna first appears alongside Finn and Leif in Leonster at the start of Chapter 7 as a playable ally. It is revealed through her conversation with Diarmuid that Lachesis came to Leonster after the Battle of Belhalla and thereafter left Nanna in the care of Finn, disappearing later to search for Diarmuid. As a result, she grew up together with Leif, lacking any knowledge of her mother's whereabouts.
Nanna, alongside Leif and Finn, join Seliph's army when they come to their aid. She is then reunited with her brother, Diarmuid, and her cousin, Ares. She will learn that Lachesis is still missing while conversing with Diarmuid. After capturing Conote, she can share a conversation with Ares, whereby she explains that Sigurd is not Eldigan's murderer.
After the war, if Nanna has been paired up, she will accompany her husband to his homeland. If she is not paired up, she will then return to Nordion with Ares and Diarmuid.
Thracia 776Edit
In this game, Nanna grows up with Leif in Fiana. They arrived in this village at a young age, accompanied by a badly-injured Finn. After hiding in other locations such as Alster and Tahra, Lachesis will finally join them. She will then promptly disappear in her quest to reunite with Diarmuid and Ares. Eyvel will then take on a mother's role, raising Nanna and Leif on Lachesis' behalf. In the later events of the game, Eyvel and her adoptive daughter Mareeta will be kidnapped by Raydrik, but will eventually be rescued by Leif's liberation army.
After the liberation war, Nanna will wed Leif and assist him in the reconstruction of Leonster, as well as the New Kingdom of Thracia. Her kind and selfless nature will eventually earn the admiration of the general populace, who affectionately addresses her as "Princess Nanna".

OverviewEdit
Nanna starts off fairly weak, but she does come with her personal weapon, the Earth Sword, and she can become very strong after promotion with it. The bonus she grants to nearby allies thanks to Charm makes her a invaluable unit in the hardest chapters where evasion is much needed. On the top of that, she supports the front lines even more effectively with her ability to heal on horseback without having to rely on Physic staves early in the game.
Nanna is one of the best candidates for the Wrath Manual, helping her offense and low PCC, and it works extremely well in conjunction with the Earth Sword with which she can kill and survive hordes of enemies as well as reducing the use of the sword.
It is recommended that you give her the Ced Scroll to fix her somewhat low speed as well as other scrolls to raise her magic, and the Hezul Scroll in order to raise her HP and combat fatigue. Also try to get her more build with the Neir Scroll because she loses speed even with an Iron Sword.
