“ | A Falcon Knight never prepares to enter a losing battle. | ” | — Annand |

Annand (Japanese: マーニャ Mahnya) was the Flightleader of the Pegasus Knights of Silesse, loyal to Queen Rahna and Prince Lewyn, and the elder sister of fellow Silessean knight Erinys.
Biography
When Rahna received word of the charges of treason alleged against Sigurd of Chalphy, she dispatched Annand and the Silessean Pegasus Knights to Agustria to escort Sigurd and his army (including Lewyn and Erinys) into political asylum in Silesse.
During Sigurd's time in Silesse, Annand served as Rahna's bodyguard in light of signs of aggression from Duke Maios at Thove Castle, while Erinys remained with Sigurd at Sailane Castle. Following Maios's defeat by Sigurd in the Silessean civil war, Annand led her knight unit into battle to defend the capital from an attack by Duke Daccar of Zaxon, Maios's brother, and from another pegasus knight unit led by her former comrade Pamela. Upon the arrival of Andrey of Yngvi and his Beige Ritter archer brigade, Annand and her unit were quickly overwhelmed by their crippling weakness to bows and were all killed.
Years after Annand's death, her niece Fee named her pegasus "Annand" in honor of her late aunt.[1] Fee's substitute character, Hermina also named her pegasus "Annand" despite having no known relation to Annand.
