In 1180, Flayn is abducted by a masked knight known as the [[Death Knight]]. She is rescued by the mercenary turned professor [[Byleth]], and joins their class at the [[Officers Academy]] out of gratitude and to protect herself. When Emperor [[Edelgard von Hresvelg]] of the [[Adrestian Empire]] declares war on the Church, Flayn fights in the Battle of Garreg Mach on the Church's side, but is defeated. If Byleth sides with the Empire, Flayn abandons them to remain with the Church. | In 1180, Flayn is abducted by a masked knight known as the [[Death Knight]].

Flayn is a prepromoted [[Priest]], joining [[Byleth]]'s class starting from mid-Part I. Her personal skill, [[Lily's Poise]], reduces the damage taken by adjacent allies by 3, which can synergize with [[Sylvain]]'s [[Philanderer]]. She has a solid [[Faith]] spell list, starting with a great C+ rank in Faith and thus having the useful [[Restore]] with no investment and learning [[Fortify]] (the only other playable unit with this spell is [[Mercedes]]) and [[Rescue (staff)|Rescue]]. She has high bases and growths in [[Magic (stat)|magic]], [[resistance]], and [[Charm (stat)|charm]]; her resistance in particular lets her sponge magic attacks with ease. Conversely, she is very poorly suited for the front-lines, due to her low physical growths and poor [[speed]]. Her biggest weakness is that she is recruited with rather subpar stats for her join time and is likely to be outperformed by units that the player has already raised from [[Three Houses (Three Houses chapter)|chapter 1]]; she also does not have [[Physic]], the spell that each of the main healers of their respective house has. If the player is a Black Eagle and is intending to follow the Crimson Flower route, it is essentially necessary to bench Flayn, since plot complications will cause her to permanently leave the party, rendering any need to train her unnecessary. | Flayn is a prepromoted [[Priest]], joining [[Byleth]]'s class starting from mid-Part I.

Her major [[Crest]] of Cethleann gives her a 50% chance of giving a small boost to the healing provided by recovery magic spells. This crest will let her restore 33% of her maximum [[HP]] while equipped with the [[Caduceus Staff]]. She can also safely wield [[Heroes' Relics]], such as [[Thyrsus]] and [[Blutgang]], without taking backlash damage. | Her major [[Crest]] of Cethleann gives her a 50% chance of giving a small boost to the healing provided by recovery magic spells.
