Tanith

“You should know the weight of being a soldier in the service of the Begnion Holy Guard.”
—Tanith talking to Marcia in a support conversation

Tanith is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. She is the deputy commander of Begnion's Holy Guard, and has placed her full trust in Sanaki.

Although her Pegasus steed does not have a specific name, through her A rank support with Reyson, it is revealed that its gender is female.

PersonalityEdit

Amongst her subordinates, Tanith has a reputation of being a strict and fearful officer, which has earned her the nickname "Great Demon". Alongside Sigrun, she spends her life guarding the Empress. This strictness of Tanith's may be observed in her support conversations with Marcia, where she expresses irate anger towards her defection from the Falcon Knight squad.

It is later revealed that this strictness of Tanith's is nothing more than a means with which she employs in order to express her concern for her comrades, as can be observed in her A rank support conversation with Marcia, where she admits that has faith in her becoming a part of the Empress' Holy Guard.

In her support conversations with Oscar, it is revealed that Tanith's culinary skills are dreadful, with her cooking having successfully "taken three of the academy's finest generals out of action for nearly a month." In their A support, Oscar promises to teach her how to cook.

OverallEdit

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

While Tanith's stats might not be the best when compared to a trained Marcia or Jill, she still holds her own very well. She has an A rank in swords, something Marcia will struggle to get, which can give her a niche advantage at times. She also joins with a Sonic Sword, which she can use to easily dispatch enemy fliers. She excels at this over other units as she herself is a flier, meaning she will often be able to meet them in the air or otherwise match their mobility. Another niche she has is her Reinforce skill, as it allows her to call in two NPC Pegasus Knights and one NPC Falcon Knight (can be done a maximum of twice per chapter). These reinforcements may be used as distractions for enemies in sticky situations, difficult chapters or to safely approach ballistae and Blizzard mages, something Tanith might have more trouble with than your other fliers due to her comparably low HP.

Overall, Tanith is a very solid unit, with a good class, good bases, and several niches that serve to set her apart from even other fliers. Her only disadvantage is her somewhat late join time.
