===Role===

 

Aversa served as the subordinate of [[Gangrel]] before and during the [[Plegia]]–[[Ylisse]] war. When Gangrel was in power, she conducted inquisitions, searching for Plegian citizens not following the [[Grimleal]] faith, and had them punished, ushering in an age of terror. She accompanied and aided Gangrel in his efforts to spark the war with Ylisse; she was with him when he kidnapped [[Maribelle]], was present for [[Emmeryn]]'s execution, and was also present for Gangrel's fall at the hands of Ylisse's forces. After the war ended Aversa vanished in the two year interim; [[Chrom]] and the Ylissean forces appear to have taken no notice of her disappearance. While it is not confirmed, Aversa may have been the one to convince Gangrel to attempt to acquire the [[Fire Emblem (Archanean item)|Fire Emblem]] from Ylisse so the Grimleal could prepare for Grima's resurrection.{{citation needed}}

 

During Ylisse's war against [[Valm]], Aversa resurfaced in Plegia, now openly working under her master [[Validar]]. She is briefly present during the meeting with Validar to secure their agreement in aiding Ylisse in defeating Valm. During the war with Valm, Aversa covertly offered [[Excellus]] the Fire Emblem in exchange for his loyalty; this appears to have been done in preparation for the possibility of [[Walhart]] defeating the Ylisseans so Plegia would have a way to defeat Valm from the inside out, though this proved unneeded.

 

When Ylisse defeats Valm, Validar begins openly pursuing [[Robin]] and the Fire Emblem to revive [[Grima]]. Aversa first directly fights the [[Shepherds (group)|Shepherds]], accompanied by the twelve [[Deadlords]], at the [[Dragon's Table]] during [[An Ill Presage|Chapter&nbsp;22]]. She is unsuccessful in capturing Robin, and the Shepherds enter the Table and kill Validar, though they fail to prevent Grima's resurrection.

 

Aversa makes her final confrontation with the Shepherds during [[To Slay a God|Chapter&nbsp;25]] after they have obtained the blessing of [[Naga]] and performed the [[Awakening (rite)|Awakening]]. Her final attempt to stop them from reaching Grima fails, and she appears to die in battle.

 

Despite her apparent earlier death, Aversa appears during [[The Wellspring of Truth|Paralogue&nbsp;22]] as a non-hostile NPC looking for more information on her past. She has arrived at the Wellspring of Truth, fabled to reveal the true self of anyone that gazes into the waters, to learn more about herself. Upon looking into the fountain, she remembers her past before encountering Validar, and realizes Validar murdered her family and brainwashed her to believe she was an orphan he took in to use the magical potential he saw within her. Aversa then joins Chrom's forces to help slay Grima.

 

Additionally, another Aversa from the [[outrealms]] appears in [[Champions of Yore&nbsp;2]] and [[Champions of Yore&nbsp;3]], being the one responsible for stealing [[Old Hubba]]'s [[Einherjar]] cards with her wiles. Despite her presence as an antagonist here she simply stops appearing and her actions in stealing Hubba's cards end up with no particular resolution.

==Personality==

Aversa was devout in her service to [[Validar]] and the [[Grimleal]], she was mainly used to manipulate the cult's enemies. When she served Gangrel she did not appear to take him particularly seriously, offering him snide comments to compliment his crass attitude, which culminated in her abandoning him before his death.<ref>{{cite|'''Aversa:''' But don't you worry, Lord Gangrel. No matter what happens. I'll serve you until the end. You need my power, do you not?<br>'''Gangrel:''' That's how it is huh? You're going to stay by my side until the end?<br>'''Aversa:''' Of course.<br>'''Gangrel:''' From here on out, I don't need you anymore, you dirty whore. You can stop the crappy acting already.| Scene between Gangrel and Aversa featured on the Awakening background site|Awakening}}</ref> She was willing to lay down her life when fighting the [[Ylisse]]ans in defense of Validar and [[Grima]].

Her views on the Grimleal turned around completely when she learned that Validar altered her memories to make her an obedient puppet; all loyalty she had to the cult evaporated, leaving her a despondent shell. If she joins the [[Shepherds (group)|Shepherds]] she remains distant from the others, except for [[Robin]], who she clashes with. She eventually apologizes to Robin for her secluded and aggressive attitude and agrees to strive towards integrating into the group.

==Supports==

As with the other characters obtained via the [[SpotPass]] paralogues, Aversa can only support with [[Robin]], and [[Morgan]], if she marries the male Avatar.

==Endings==

'''Aversa, Dark One''' (single ending)<br>

Having reclaimed the truth, Aversa returned to the town of her birth and started life anew as an ordinary girl—as if making up for the time that was stolen from her.

'''Robin, High Deliverer & Aversa, Dark One'''<br>

Many wrote of Robin's legendary exploits, but accounts of his origins and character varied. Scholars, poets, and bards agreed on one thing alone—he loved his wife, Aversa, above all else.

==Trivia==

* If a male Robin marries Aversa, [[Morgan]] will always inherit Shadowgift from her, regardless of whether or not Aversa has Shadowgift equipped when the player enters [[Disowned by Time|Paralogue&nbsp;12]].

* Aversa's birthday, November 3rd, matches the North American release date of {{FE7}} in 2003.

* Despite not being a legacy character, there is a unique weapon named for Aversa available through the [[Barracks]] or [[event tile]]s: [[Aversa's Night]].
