When the army of [[Dolhr]] came to lay siege to [[Pales]] at the onset of the War of Shadows, Midia was the leader of the band of knights consisting of [[Macellan]], [[Dolph]], [[Tomas]] and convened by [[Boah]] to lead Princess [[Nyna]] to safety.

The coup failed, Midia was arrested, and its participants were slowly executed as the days passed. By the time the Altean League entered the palace, Midia had been brought before Hardin, pleading for him to realize the nature and extent of his atrocities. Not taking any notice of her criticisms, Hardin forced her to sit by his side, under heavy guard, and watch as the Altean army was annihilated.

Midia is a playable character in [[The Capital Falls|the first chapter]] of ''Archanea Saga''.
When the army of Dolhr came to lay siege to Pales at the onset of the War of Shadows, Midia was the leader of the band of knights convened by Boah to lead Princess Nyna to safety. The group was instead cornered by Dolhr's forces and was forced to try and fight its way out. In the end, the group were cornered in a room of the palace, handed over to [[Camus]] upon his arrival; as he entered, Midia attempted to strike him down, an assault easily neutralised by Camus, who criticised her for the "cowardly" surprise attack upon him. She and the knights were imprisoned in the palace, where they remained for three years until Marth arrived with Nyna.

Midia is a prepromoted paladin with low bases, but high growths to make up for them. He also starts wit a decent C rank in lances allowing her to wield killer lances and horseslayers at base. Sadly, Midia's low bases greately hold her back in Hard 5 of ''Shdow Dragon'' making it hard for her to get EXP and even after being trained she won't be much better than other trained up cavaliers or dracoknights in the game, such as Hardin or Palla, making Midia an overall mediocre unit.
Midia is a prepromoted paladin who starts with a decent C rank in lances, allowing her to wield a [[Killer Lance]] and a [[Ridersbane]] at base. Sadly, Midia's low bases greatly hold her back in the higher difficulties. It will be difficult for her to get EXP at first, since her combat will be mediocre, and training her will not make her better than other units competing with her, because her growths are not outstanding. By the time she joins the army, the player will already have been using other units with a C rank in lances, so even that utility for Midia is limited. Even in low difficulties, a base-level Midia is unable to double most enemies and does not deal much damage because of her mediocre Strength. She can only do decent combat while using effective weaponry, which greatly limits her usefulness.
 
The mere fact that Midia can use effective lances at base is her saving grace. It prevents her from being a useless unit, because she can deal significant damage to or one-shot enemies such as Cavaliers. Reclassing her to a Dracoknight can also make her more helpful, since she will retain her lance rank and gain the ability to move around the map more freely. However, doing that will prevent another unit with better bases and/or long-term prospects from becoming a Dracoknight, since class slots are limited.
 
Midia needs plenty of favoritism to remain decent. Since her bases are not very good, and her long-term prospects do not compare to other lance-using units such as [[Abel]] or [[Hardin]], she is a very mediocre unit. She also suffers from having an availability gap—she joins the army around the halfway point of the game. Overall, while Midia is situationally useful, she is unlikely to ever be impressive and is typically benched in favor of stronger units with better combat, utility, or both.

==Personality and character==
==Personality==
{{sectstub}}
Midia is a prideful knight devoted to serve [[Archanea (country)|her country]] above anything else, ready to sacrifice herself in order to protect [[Nyna|her queen]].<ref>{{Cite|By "we" I mean Archanea. Archanea is saved. If Princess Nyna has truly come to chase the enemy from our halls, to free us... Then my death will have meaning.|Midia, to [[Boah]]|Shadow Dragon}}</ref> However, her loyalty doesn't blind her to her nation's shortcomings, as shown she opposed Emperor [[Hardin]]'s tyrannical rule and lead a rebellion to overthrow him; this is in contrast with her lover [[Astram]], who remained loyal to Archanea in spite of Hardin's rule. She is prone to creating rash and impulsive decisions, such as attempting to fight back against the [[Dolhr]] army attacking [[Pales]] even when her odds of winning were exceedingly slim.
 
Midia loves Astram and vice versa. Although their relationship started off very rough, the two were eventually able to blossom their relationship into both mutual respect and love.<ref>{{Cite|'''Midia:''' Mm, I'm fine. 'Tis just a scratch... Don't worry. Teeheehee. I just remembered... our first duel.<br>'''Astram:''' Eh...?<br>'''Midia:''' Ahaha, that time, you sent me flying across the room! I was pretty roughed up that time.<br>'''Astram:''' I-I'm sorry...<br>'''Midia:''' I sobbed into my pillow all night. I really, really despised you. Heehee, it was a big moment for me. I'm the way I am now thanks to that loss. I trained so much harder, just to reach your level. Besides...<br>'''Astram:''' Besides?<br>'''Midia:''' You had such an ice-cold look on your face at the time. Now? Your eyes are so much softer... It makes me really happy.<br>'''Astram:''' Midia...|Midia and [[Astram]] in their second conversation|New Mystery of the Emblem}}</ref> It is implied that the duo were able to tie the knot after the [[War of Heroes (Archanea)|War of Heroes]].<ref name="astram end"/> She additionally bears a strong hatred towards General [[Camus]] of [[Grust]] for killing her parents in the [[War of Shadows]], and as such attempted to perform a sneak attack on him when he was unarmed, an act which disgusted Camus.
 
In contrast to her accomplishments as a knight of Archanea, Midia also enjoys a life at court dressed in finery.<ref>{{Cite|This accomplished young knight also enjoys life at court dressed in finery.|Midia ending|Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light}}</ref>

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* [[Isadora]] of {{FE7}} is something of a near-direct copy of Midia, transplanted into the role of a knight of [[Pherae]]; similarly, [[Harken]] of the same game is a copy of Astram, and the two have a very similar relationship to that of Midia and Astram.

* Midia has unused battle dialogue in Book 2 of {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}}, which suggests that she may have been originally intended to appear as an enemy character. The unused dialogue reads: "Heartless fiends who point their arrows at our holy kingdom, if you wish to step foot inside Archanea Palace, then you'll have to kill me first!"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://serenesforest.net/general/unused.htm|title=Unused content in Fire Emblem|site=Serenes Forest|retrieved=2013-07-23}}</ref>

*In the [[Mystery of the Emblem Hideo Takayashiki novels|''Mystery of the Emblem'' Hideo Takayashiki novels]], the surname "Owen" (Japanese {{lang|ja|オーエン}}) is given to Midia. That is also the name of her father. It being a surname may explain why the designer's notes claim her father is called "Charon."
