'''Deirdre''' ({{ | '''Deirdre''' (pronounced {{IPA|ˈdɛɹdɹə}}<ref>Sigurd and Arvis in ''Fire Emblem Heroes''</ref>; Japanese: {{hl|ディアドラ|Diadora}} ''Diadora'') was the daughter of [[Cigyun]] and Prince [[Kurth]] of [[Grannvale]], possessing her father's full Naga [[Holy Blood]] as well as the minor [[Loptous]] holy blood of her mother. As a living descendant of Saint [[Maera]] and a bearer of the Loptous bloodline, Deirdre lived much of her life secluded in the Spirit Forest of [[Verdane]] under close observation, to try and prevent the bloodline's spread to the outside world; nonetheless, she eventually left the forest and met [[Sigurd]], the man who would become her first husband. She was later brainwashed and manipulated into marrying Lord [[Arvis]] of [[Velthomer]] as part of [[Manfroy]]'s plot to resurrect the dark god [[Loptous]]. She had three children: [[Seliph]] with Sigurd, and [[Julius]] and [[Julia]] with Arvis. | ||

She was born when Cigyun returned to the [[Verdane]] Spirit Forest village, but Cigyun did not survive her birth. Thus, Deirdre was raised in the care of the village's prophet for most of her life.<ref name="age" /> As with Cigyun and her ancestors, Deirdre was confined to live within the Spirit Forest village, forbidden to leave and forbidden to liase with men, in efforts to prevent the birth of more Loptrian blood bearers.<ref>{{Cite|That might be a tad difficult.

In Grann 757, during | In Grann 757, during the Verdane conflict with [[Grannvale]], Deirdre nonetheless strayed from the Spirit Forest village and arrived at Marpha Castle, where she met [[Edain]] – then held captive by Prince [[Munnir]] – and learned from her about Sigurd. After the two parted, she was accosted by a ruffian within the castle grounds, whereupon Sigurd found her and drove the thug away. Though instantly stricken with an interest in Sigurd, Deirdre fled Marpha to return to the Spirit Forest, heeding the warnings given to her throughout her life. Later, as Sigurd's army marched into the Spirit Forest toward Verdane Castle, now controlled by [[Sandima]] of the [[Loptr Church]], she appeared before him to offer her [[Silence (staff)|Silence]] staff in order to counter Sandima's powerful dark magic, and to confess her strong love for him; the two married after Sandima's defeat and the reclamation of Verdane. | ||

During the six months in which Agustria was under Sigurd's control, Deirdre bore her first child, and her only one with Sigurd: [[Seliph Baldos Chalphy]]. Some time after Seliph's birth, while Sigurd's army departed to combat the sudden violence from King Chagall, Deirdre stayed behind in Agusti Castle to take care of Seliph. Some time into the conflict, she felt suddenly compelled to leave Agusti and see Sigurd, and departed to do so, entrusting Seliph to [[Shannan]]; however, she was intercepted by [[Manfroy]], who hypnotized and abducted her. | ||

Devoid of all of her memories, Deirdre was left in the grounds of Belhalla, where she was eventually found and taken in by [[Arvis]]. While at first Arvis sought only to take care of her, the two soon become romantically involved, but her true identity as Kurth's daughter and heir was not confirmed until Arvis introduced her as his wife-to-be to King [[Azmur]], who instantly recognized her as a member of House Belhalla.<ref name="memory">{{Cite|'''Azmur:''' | Devoid of all of her memories, Deirdre was left in the grounds of Belhalla, where she was eventually found and taken in by [[Arvis]].

With Arvis telling her that Sigurd was the man responsible for her father's death, Deirdre was confused by a strange feeling of familiarity with the man, but was taken away by Arvis's men before she could do anything about it. At some point in the intervening years, she had twin children with Arvis: [[Julia]], who inherited her Naga blood, and [[Julius]] who, exactly as Manfroy had schemed, now possessed full Loptous holy blood and could function as a vessel for the revival of Loptous himself. She eventually did learn of her former marriage to Sigurd, though she never recovered her memories; even so, she didn't hate Arvis for his role in killing Sigurd.<ref>{{cite web|quote=In the end, although Deirdre never recovered her memory, she did discover that Sigurd was her husband, but she didn't hate Arvis at all.

Deirdre is a playable character during the first generation. She is recruited in [[Lady of the Forest|Chapter 1]] by having [[Sigurd]] enter the Spirit Forest. If Deirdre is defeated in battle, she will be available again at the start of the following chapter. At the start of [[Eldigan, the Lionheart|Chapter 3]], Deirdre can't leave the home [[castle]]. Once [[Madino]] is seized, Deirdre will be permanently removed from the party. | |||

===Love growths and events=== | |||
When recruited, Deirdre already has full [[love]] growth with [[Sigurd]], and is incapable of getting love growths with any other character. | |||
* In [[Crisis in Agustria|Chapter 2]], Deirdre can talk to [[Ethlyn]], giving the latter a [[Light Brand]]. | |||
===Analysis=== | |||
{{analysis}} | |||
Deirdre is available early in the first generation, towards the end of [[Lady of the Forest|Chapter 1]]. She starts at level 3 with very high [[Magic (stat)|magic]] and [[resistance]]. She has a very powerful pseudo-personal weapon in the [[Aura]] tome, supplemented by her high magic, which can deal massive damage to enemies. [[Light (magic)|Light]] and [[dark]] magic in this game have the advantage on all the [[anima]] magic types, so she is an excellent candidate against mages, dealing a lot of damage to them and barely taking any in return. Deirdre also has two types of Holy Blood: Major [[Naga]] Blood and Minor [[Loptous]] Blood; the former gives her a ★ level in light magic, while the latter does nothing (as she does not wield dark magic) except boosting her growth rates like all other Holy Bloods. She starts with a [[Silence (staff)|Silence]] staff, which is very important against the final boss of the chapter she joins in, [[Sandima]], due to his powerful spells, in particular, his long range [[Fenrir]] tome makes him dangerous to approach. Due to her B level in staves, she can also play a supporting role if she is given a staff. She also has a piece of equipment exclusive to her, the [[Circlet]], which grants her two useful [[skills]] in [[Miracle]] and [[Renewal]]. The former increases her ability to dodge if she is in danger, while the latter gradually restores her HP at every turn. Lastly, she has a [[love]]r right off the bat in Sigurd, allowing her to perform criticals that one-shot enemies if she fights close to him. | |||
However, Deirdre has her flaws. She has very low availability, being only playable for the end of Chapter 1, and the entirety of [[Crisis in Agustria|Chapter 2]] before getting kidnapped after Sigurd seizes the first castle in [[Eldigan, the Lionheart|Chapter 3]], where she cannot leave Castle Agusti. Her [[HP]] and [[defense]] are very low, so she takes a large amount of damage and must be protected. While Renewal helps her survive, it only activates at the start of player phase, and while her [[speed]] is decent, Aura has a massive 20 [[weight (weapon)|weight]], severely hindering her dodging abilities without Miracle. There are no other light tomes available at all throughout the entire first generation, meaning that Deirdre cannot use a lighter tome as an alternative, remaining stuck with Aura as her only usable weapon. With her poor [[movement]] of 5, she also has issues in reaching enemies to fight, and her growths are very lopsided, with very high magic and resistance but low [[Skill (stat)|skill]], and her other growths are even worse. If she loses all her HP, she will not [[Death|die]], but she will be captured until the end of the chapter, and because she is not available for long, there are not many chances of training her outside of the [[arena]], where she can have trouble in going very far. She also cannot be promoted, and in Chapter 3, she can only fight in the arena, where she may need some rings to do well, but they are expensive and she has difficulty in getting the [[gold]] to buy them outside of Sigurd's or without help from [[Dew]]. In the last chapter she's available, Deirdre can use the [[Physic]] staff obtained at the end of the previous chapter to support Sigurd and the rest of the army as they start heading towards the castle or after they lose in the arena, and as it grants 35 EXP per use, it can help her in leveling up, but the healing range is limited to 10 spaces of distance from the starting castle, and while she can heal, weapons are very limited in quantity in the first generation, with only two [[Heal]] staves that [[Ethlyn]] and [[Lachesis]] start with and [[Edain]]'s [[Mend]] staff, and giving her one of these when she joins or in Chapter 2 means that one of the healers won't be able to heal other units and get the experience they need from using said staves, and Edain also needs Physic, since Ethlyn's staff rank never increases and Lachesis will only gain a higher one on promotion. Even then, after the first castle in the chapter is seized, she will be unavailable for the rest of the first generation, Ethlyn, [[Quan]] and [[Finn]] will leave after the chapter ends, and [[Claud]] will join with [[Fortify]], which she can't use because she's missing at this point, which limits her ability to support allies. She has one personal skill, [[Nihil]], which is not useful to her because there are no situations where it helps her, and she suffers from a lack of skills that help her in combat, especially [[Follow-Up]], and while the critical bonus from Sigurd can help her one-shotting enemies, it is not reliable. | |||
Deirdre cannot pass down her inventory to her daughter, [[Julia]], as Julia is not technically a [[inheritance|child unit]], meaning that anything in Deirdre's inventory must be re-acquired if they were not transferred to someone else to be inherited, and Aura can't be inherited by anyone, since it requires an A rank in light magic, while [[Ced]], a pre-promoted Sage, only has a B rank in it. In spite of this, training Deirdre and giving her some experience to increase her level and stats is a good idea, as it improves her son [[Seliph]]'s base stats if she manages to get an increase in strength, skill, speed, luck and defense with some lucky level-ups, and her aforementioned Nihil skill, while not useful for her, is useful for Seliph to protect him from the effects of critical hits, skills, and (once he promotes to a [[Knight Lord]]) effective damage from [[Horseslayer]]s. | |||

There are two different variations of Deirdre available to ''Heroes'', both based on her storyline appearance in ''Genealogy of the Holy War''. The normal variation of Deirdre is one of the characters added to the game in the [[World of Holy War]] update, and became available for summoning by players on October 16, 2017. A legendary variation of Deirdre was first made available to players on August 31, 2022 as the game's thirty-eighth Legendary Hero. | |||

==Personality== | |||
{{refs}} | |||
Deirdre is a quiet and reserved woman, but cares deeply for the people around her. While speaking in relatively more formal language than others, she speaks her mind and pursues her heart. This is shown in Deirdre's dialogue with Sigurd after their first meeting, in which she offers to help fight Sandima. She also confesses her love to him despite knowing the blood that resides within her, showing her more romantic side. This is also displayed in [[Crisis in Agustria|Chapter 2]] where Deirdre accompanies Sigurd's army on the battlefield, in which she affirms to Ethlyn that she is confident that, as long as she is alongside Sigurd, their happiness will see them through the war. During [[Eldigan, the Lionheart|Chapter 3]], Deirdre hears of Sigurd's victory at Madino Castle and wishes to rush to him at once, showcasing how her love also makes her a bit reckless. | |||
While not much is known about Deirdre after Manfroy wipes her memory, her personality remained unchanged as a loving and caring mother to both Julia and Julius and wife to Arvis, as she is willing to sacrifice her life to help Julia escape the cult. | |||

“ | I'll be fine... as long as I have Sigurd at my side. | ” | — Deirdre, to Ethlyn |
---|
Deirdre (pronounced /ˈdɛɹdɹə/[key][2]; Japanese: ディアドラ Diadora) was the daughter of Cigyun and Prince Kurth of Grannvale, possessing her father's full Naga Holy Blood as well as the minor Loptous holy blood of her mother. As a living descendant of Saint Maera and a bearer of the Loptous bloodline, Deirdre lived much of her life secluded in the Spirit Forest of Verdane under close observation, to try and prevent the bloodline's spread to the outside world; nonetheless, she eventually left the forest and met Sigurd, the man who would become her first husband. She was later brainwashed and manipulated into marrying Lord Arvis of Velthomer as part of Manfroy's plot to resurrect the dark god Loptous. She had three children: Seliph with Sigurd, and Julius and Julia with Arvis.
Biography
Early life
Deirdre was conceived by Cigyun and Prince Kurth of Grannvale during their brief affair, although Kurth was never made aware of this. She was born when Cigyun returned to the Verdane Spirit Forest village, but Cigyun did not survive her birth. Thus, Deirdre was raised in the care of the village's prophet for most of her life.[1] As with Cigyun and her ancestors, Deirdre was confined to live within the Spirit Forest village, forbidden to leave and forbidden to liase with men, in efforts to prevent the birth of more Loptrian blood bearers.[3]
Meeting Sigurd
In Grann 757, during the Verdane conflict with Grannvale, Deirdre nonetheless strayed from the Spirit Forest village and arrived at Marpha Castle, where she met Edain – then held captive by Prince Munnir – and learned from her about Sigurd. After the two parted, she was accosted by a ruffian within the castle grounds, whereupon Sigurd found her and drove the thug away. Though instantly stricken with an interest in Sigurd, Deirdre fled Marpha to return to the Spirit Forest, heeding the warnings given to her throughout her life. Later, as Sigurd's army marched into the Spirit Forest toward Verdane Castle, now controlled by Sandima of the Loptr Church, she appeared before him to offer her Silence staff in order to counter Sandima's powerful dark magic, and to confess her strong love for him; the two married after Sandima's defeat and the reclamation of Verdane.
Deirdre stayed with her husband through his skirmish with Agustria, aiding him in battle against Agustria's King Chagall and living with him in Agusti Castle. During the six months in which Agustria was under Sigurd's control, Deirdre bore her first child, and her only one with Sigurd: Seliph Baldos Chalphy. Some time after Seliph's birth, while Sigurd's army departed to combat the sudden violence from King Chagall, Deirdre stayed behind in Agusti Castle to take care of Seliph. Some time into the conflict, she felt suddenly compelled to leave Agusti and see Sigurd, and departed to do so, entrusting Seliph to Shannan; however, she was intercepted by Manfroy, who hypnotized and abducted her.
Abduction, Arvis and death
Devoid of all of her memories, Deirdre was left in the grounds of Belhalla, where she was eventually found and taken in by Arvis. While at first Arvis sought only to take care of her, the two soon become romantically involved, but her true identity as Kurth's daughter and heir was not confirmed until Arvis introduced her as his wife-to-be to King Azmur, who instantly recognized her as a member of House Belhalla.[4] The two were soon married, and neither were aware of their status as half-siblings or, until their children were born, that they were playing into Manfroy's hands.
Some time later, when Sigurd's army returned to Belhalla expecting to be welcomed, Arvis had Deirdre brought out after revealing his intent to execute Sigurd. With Arvis telling her that Sigurd was the man responsible for her father's death, Deirdre was confused by a strange feeling of familiarity with the man, but was taken away by Arvis's men before she could do anything about it. At some point in the intervening years, she had twin children with Arvis: Julia, who inherited her Naga blood, and Julius who, exactly as Manfroy had schemed, now possessed full Loptous holy blood and could function as a vessel for the revival of Loptous himself. She eventually did learn of her former marriage to Sigurd, though she never recovered her memories; even so, she didn't hate Arvis for his role in killing Sigurd.[5]
Years later, when Manfroy presented Julius with the Loptous tome and subsequently attempted to kill Julia, Deirdre attempted to protect Julia from Julius. With the last of her strength, she warped Julia as far away from Julius as possible, but was herself killed by Julius, putting up no resistance.[6]
Legacy
After her demise Deirdre became a legendary figure in Verdane folklore, and began to be regarded by Verdane's people as a saint.[7] Years later, after Arvis's death, the ghosts of Deirdre and Sigurd appeared before a now-adult Seliph at a lake to Chalphy's south. Deirdre's ghost said she was proud of how Seliph had grown up, but worried about Julia and Julius.
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Role
Deirdre is a playable character during the first generation. She is recruited in Chapter 1 by having Sigurd enter the Spirit Forest. If Deirdre is defeated in battle, she will be available again at the start of the following chapter. At the start of Chapter 3, Deirdre can't leave the home castle. Once Madino is seized, Deirdre will be permanently removed from the party.

Love growths and events
When recruited, Deirdre already has full love growth with Sigurd, and is incapable of getting love growths with any other character.
- In Chapter 2, Deirdre can talk to Ethlyn, giving the latter a Light Brand.
Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Deirdre is available early in the first generation, towards the end of Chapter 1. She starts at level 3 with very high magic and resistance. She has a very powerful pseudo-personal weapon in the Aura tome, supplemented by her high magic, which can deal massive damage to enemies. Light and dark magic in this game have the advantage on all the anima magic types, so she is an excellent candidate against mages, dealing a lot of damage to them and barely taking any in return. Deirdre also has two types of Holy Blood: Major Naga Blood and Minor Loptous Blood; the former gives her a ★ level in light magic, while the latter does nothing (as she does not wield dark magic) except boosting her growth rates like all other Holy Bloods. She starts with a Silence staff, which is very important against the final boss of the chapter she joins in, Sandima, due to his powerful spells, in particular, his long range Fenrir tome makes him dangerous to approach. Due to her B level in staves, she can also play a supporting role if she is given a staff. She also has a piece of equipment exclusive to her, the Circlet, which grants her two useful skills in Miracle and Renewal. The former increases her ability to dodge if she is in danger, while the latter gradually restores her HP at every turn. Lastly, she has a lover right off the bat in Sigurd, allowing her to perform criticals that one-shot enemies if she fights close to him.
However, Deirdre has her flaws. She has very low availability, being only playable for the end of Chapter 1, and the entirety of Chapter 2 before getting kidnapped after Sigurd seizes the first castle in Chapter 3, where she cannot leave Castle Agusti. Her HP and defense are very low, so she takes a large amount of damage and must be protected. While Renewal helps her survive, it only activates at the start of player phase, and while her speed is decent, Aura has a massive 20 weight, severely hindering her dodging abilities without Miracle. There are no other light tomes available at all throughout the entire first generation, meaning that Deirdre cannot use a lighter tome as an alternative, remaining stuck with Aura as her only usable weapon. With her poor movement of 5, she also has issues in reaching enemies to fight, and her growths are very lopsided, with very high magic and resistance but low skill, and her other growths are even worse. If she loses all her HP, she will not die, but she will be captured until the end of the chapter, and because she is not available for long, there are not many chances of training her outside of the arena, where she can have trouble in going very far. She also cannot be promoted, and in Chapter 3, she can only fight in the arena, where she may need some rings to do well, but they are expensive and she has difficulty in getting the gold to buy them outside of Sigurd's or without help from Dew. In the last chapter she's available, Deirdre can use the Physic staff obtained at the end of the previous chapter to support Sigurd and the rest of the army as they start heading towards the castle or after they lose in the arena, and as it grants 35 EXP per use, it can help her in leveling up, but the healing range is limited to 10 spaces of distance from the starting castle, and while she can heal, weapons are very limited in quantity in the first generation, with only two Heal staves that Ethlyn and Lachesis start with and Edain's Mend staff, and giving her one of these when she joins or in Chapter 2 means that one of the healers won't be able to heal other units and get the experience they need from using said staves, and Edain also needs Physic, since Ethlyn's staff rank never increases and Lachesis will only gain a higher one on promotion. Even then, after the first castle in the chapter is seized, she will be unavailable for the rest of the first generation, Ethlyn, Quan and Finn will leave after the chapter ends, and Claud will join with Fortify, which she can't use because she's missing at this point, which limits her ability to support allies. She has one personal skill, Nihil, which is not useful to her because there are no situations where it helps her, and she suffers from a lack of skills that help her in combat, especially Follow-Up, and while the critical bonus from Sigurd can help her one-shotting enemies, it is not reliable.
Deirdre cannot pass down her inventory to her daughter, Julia, as Julia is not technically a child unit, meaning that anything in Deirdre's inventory must be re-acquired if they were not transferred to someone else to be inherited, and Aura can't be inherited by anyone, since it requires an A rank in light magic, while Ced, a pre-promoted Sage, only has a B rank in it. In spite of this, training Deirdre and giving her some experience to increase her level and stats is a good idea, as it improves her son Seliph's base stats if she manages to get an increase in strength, skill, speed, luck and defense with some lucky level-ups, and her aforementioned Nihil skill, while not useful for her, is useful for Seliph to protect him from the effects of critical hits, skills, and (once he promotes to a Knight Lord) effective damage from Horseslayers.

Personality
Deirdre is a quiet and reserved woman, but cares deeply for the people around her. While speaking in relatively more formal language than others, she speaks her mind and pursues her heart. This is shown in Deirdre's dialogue with Sigurd after their first meeting, in which she offers to help fight Sandima. She also confesses her love to him despite knowing the blood that resides within her, showing her more romantic side. This is also displayed in Chapter 2 where Deirdre accompanies Sigurd's army on the battlefield, in which she affirms to Ethlyn that she is confident that, as long as she is alongside Sigurd, their happiness will see them through the war. During Chapter 3, Deirdre hears of Sigurd's victory at Madino Castle and wishes to rush to him at once, showcasing how her love also makes her a bit reckless.
While not much is known about Deirdre after Manfroy wipes her memory, her personality remained unchanged as a loving and caring mother to both Julia and Julius and wife to Arvis, as she is willing to sacrifice her life to help Julia escape the cult.

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 "But Cigyun grew tired of th' forest life. She up and left thus breaking village law. She returned several years later expectin' a child. She gave birth to a little girl, but tragically didn't survive. Apparently, the village fortune-teller took after raising the child. I wonder where the child is now... If she's livin' she'd be around 17 or 18 I imagine." — A Verdane villager, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

- ↑ "That might be a tad difficult. You see, the villagers of the Spirit Forest do not involve themselves with the outside world. Moreover, that girl you're so fond of is strictly forbidden from associating with men. The villagers believe a great catastrophe will befall us if that were ever violated. I'll get right to the point, Sigurd. Resign yourself of that girl." — Marpha elder, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 "Azmur: Ahh, Deirdre. You're such a sweet child. I'm... wheeze... not long for this world, but you give me hope for the kingdom's future. I don't know when or how Kurth could have acquired himself such a wonderful daughter, but the Brand on your brow clearly identify you as a direct descendant of the Royal Family. Where in heavens have you been living all this time?
Deirdre: I'm sorry. I don't know. I don't remember anything from my past. Not a single memory I can speak of...
Azmur: Ahh, forgive me. You've gone through more hardship than the lot of us.
Arvis: She had no recollections from the moment we found her near the castle grounds. Aside from her name she doesn't remember a thing. I was simply looking after her out of sympathy, but then I fell deeply in love with her. With all due respect, I never in a million years would have suspected she was of royalty.
Azmur: The day you brought her in to the Royal Palace to announce your wedding intentions, I tell you... I could have swore my eyes were playing tricks on me! I don't know. Call it a family's intuition, but somehow I knew. And sure enough under her circlet was the Brand of Naga." — Azmur, Deirdre and Arvis, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - ↑ "In the end, although Deirdre never recovered her memory, she did discover that Sigurd was her husband, but she didn't hate Arvis at all. When her own son Julius was about to kill her, she didn't show any resistance, which is due to her subconsciously trying to repent for her crime. Regarding Deirdre's character, there are many ways one could judge her, but as for this issue, it is still too early to draw a conclusion." — Designers' notes from a Genealogy of the Holy War playing guide, translated by Serenes Forest, Retrieved: April 7, 2012
- ↑ "Hmph... Yeah, Deirdre just sort of accepted the idea of being killed by her own son. But she did manage to muster enough power to save Julia before I could finish her off." — Julius, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
