Fire Emblem: The Crystal of Bonds

C Annika: Hey, me and some friends were going to head downtown and see if there was anything we could buy for Taren. She seems a bit stressed out. Simon: And? Annika: Well, I thought that maybe you could come with us? Simon: Why? What benefits would I reap by waltzing around with ditzy young girls and shopping? Annika: If we find the right present, we could really get Taren’s spirits up. Simon: So what? Who cares how she feels? Annika: She’s our friend. Simon: She’s YOUR friend. Not mine. You go buy her a present on your own accord. I have no interest in expending my time for a stranger’s well-being. Annika: Simon, she isn’t a stranger. Simon: I don’t expect you socialites to understand my reasoning for declining your offer, but my decision isn’t changing anytime soon. Annika: Whatever. But I’m not letting you off the hook next time. Simon: Right, like you can tell me to do anything. B Annika: Simon. Simon: … Annika: Simon. Simon: … Annika: Simon! Simon: … Annika: SIMON!! Simon: Eh? An...

C Annika: I want you to be more careful. Taren: Oh. Where is this coming from? Annika: Taren, I want you to be more careful because I don't think you realize how much you mean to me. Taren: Of course I do, Annika, but you can patch me up if I get too hurt, right? Annika: If that was always the case, then there would be no death on the battlefield. But there is. Taren: Why are you so tense? Annika: Because you don't listen to me! Taren: Annika, calm down- Annika: Don't tell me to calm down! You took a hit and you shrugged it off without getting me to help! Taren: That's what this is about? Annika, if I go to you every time I get a scratch, I'll never get anywhere on the battlefield, I'll be next to you like a forlorn puppy. Annika: It wasn't a scratch, and what's so wrong with being closer to my side? Taren: We'll talk about this later. Right now, I need to- be anywhere else doing anything else. Annika: We'd better talk about this later! B Annika:...

The spotlight for this week is on Annika, the healer with passion and fire! Her character description is as follows:​ A HEALER WHOSE MOTHER IS FROM A FOREIGN LAND, SHE IS OUTGOING AND COMPASSIONATE. SHE SOMETIMES CAN GET CAUGHT UP IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE, AND WILL SAY OR DO THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF HER CHARACTER. SHE HAS A SECRET TEMPER, BUT TRIES TO REMAIN CALM THROUGH PRAYERS TO THE GODDESS ANCIA, WHO SHE PARTIALLY WAS NAMED AFTER. Annika is the army's only cleric, which would be an issue if you didn't receive Schall, a troubadour you recruit only a chapter ahead of Annika, and Harley, who is recruited in Chapter 9. As a cleric, Annika has no means to defend herself, and she has fragile defensive stats, along with low HP. She also has serious competition as a healer, as Harley and Schall can both counterattack and absorb damage better than Annika. However, Annika has a few advantages over them: Her magic growth: Annika's magic growth is actually the highest in the gam...
