==Biography==
Shortly after the fall of Ganeishire to Seliph's group, Hermina and Arthur made a stop near Sophara to give her pegasus a rest. After a discussion about Arthur's intent to travel to Munster and Hermina's goals, Arthur decided to join her in her pursuit of joining Seliph's army. The two met up with Seliph, and she introduced herself as the daughter of one of Sigurd's allies and mentioned they may encounter Hawk along the way.
Hermina [[The Wyvern Knights of Thracia|later]] reunited with Hawk at [[Munster]] as Seliph's revolution came to its aid after the defeat of [[Bloom]] at [[Connacht]].

===Role===
===Role===
As a substitute character, Hermina's role in the story is nigh identical to [[Fee]]'s.
Hermina is a playable character during the second generation. As [[Fee]]'s [[substitute character]], Hermina only appears if [[Erinys]] wasn't married or was dead at the end of [[Doorway to Destiny|Chapter 5]]. In [[Heir of Light|Chapter 6]], Hermina, along with [[Arthur (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Arthur]]/[[Amid]], appear as player units once [[Ganeishire]] has been seized.

{{analysis}}
Hermina is the substitute of [[Fee]] and joins in Chapter 6 as a level 2 [[Pegasus Knight]]. Hermina has [[Adept]], allowing her to strike twice, though unreliably; her lack of [[Follow-Up]] significantly limits her combat potential. A promotion to [[Falcon Knight]] normally grants Adept, but as Hermina already has Adept as a personal skill, she gains no additional skills; however, by having Adept earlier, she is able to utilize it earlier. Promotion additionally grants A rank lances and swords and C rank staves. As Hermina is fast but lacks Follow-Up, she can utilize the [[Follow-Up Ring]] to double consistently; she can also use [[brave weapon]]s such as the [[Brave Lance]] to consistently strike twice.
 
Hermina has no significant advantages over Fee, who is subject to [[inheritance]]. Hermina has more reliable base stats, but she is unlikely to have significantly higher strength and speed than Fee. Fee will always inherit Follow-Up from [[Erinys]], and will have more reliable combat than Hermina as a result; she can gain additional skills from her father—including Adept—that improve her combat further. Fee can inherit items from her parents, allowing her to start with and immediately begin utilizing powerful weapons such as the Brave Lance or weapons with a [[kill bonus]]. Additionally, Fee can inherit [[Holy Blood]] from her father, boosting her growth rates and potentially increasing one of her weapon levels.

{{analysis}}
Hermina is the substitute of [[Fee]] and joins in Chapter&nbsp;6 as a level&nbsp;2 [[Pegasus Knight]]. Hermina has [[Adept]], allowing her to strike twice, though unreliably; her lack of [[Follow-Up]] significantly limits her combat potential. A promotion to [[Falcon Knight]] normally grants Adept, but as Hermina already has Adept as a personal skill, she gains no additional skills; however, by having Adept earlier, she is able to utilize it earlier. Promotion additionally grants A lances and swords and C&nbsp;staves. As Hermina is fast but lacks Follow-Up, she can utilize the [[Follow-Up Ring]] to double consistently; she can also use [[brave weapon]]s such as the [[Brave Lance]] to consistently strike twice.
Hermina has no significant advantages over Fee, who is subject to [[inheritance]]. Hermina has more reliable base stats, but she is unlikely to have significantly higher strength and speed than Fee. Fee will always inherit Follow-Up from [[Erinys]], and will have more reliable combat than Hermina as a result; she can gain additional skills from her father—including Adept—that improve her combat further. Fee can inherit items from her parents, allowing her to start with and immediately begin utilizing powerful weapons such as the Brave Lance or weapons with a [[kill bonus]]. Additionally, Fee can inherit [[Holy Blood]] from her father, boosting her growth rates and potentially increasing one of her weapon levels.
Another problem with Hermina is her low HP and resistance growths. As fliers, she and [[Altena]] ensure [[Tyrfing]] can be obtained in [[Light and Dark|Chapter&nbsp;10]]. However, at her level&nbsp;30 averages, the [[Dark Mage]]s there defeat Hermina in three hits, while she is only able to defeat them in one round with a [[Silver Lance]] and an unreliable Adept activation; otherwise, she needs rings (a [[Power Ring]] enables one-rounds with a Brave Lance, and the Follow-Up Ring enables one-rounds with weaker weapons) or a critical hit from a weapon with a [[kill bonus]]. This presents a problem if Altena is dead or unrecruited, as Hermina alone is not enough to save Tyrfing without heavy investment or relying on inconsistent strategies.
