Mila

“ | Mankind faces trials enough without us burdening them yet more. I wish to be their salvation—the hands that dispel their grief and pain. | ” | — Mila, to Duma |
---|
Mila (pronounced /ˈmɪlə/[key][1]; Japanese: ミラ Mila) is one of the two gods of the continent of Valentia/Valm, known by the people as the Earth Mother (Japanese: 大地母神 earth mother goddess). She is the worshipped deity of the kingdom of Zofia, and is still worshipped alongside Naga millennia later in Valm. In ancient times, Valentia was split into two nations in a pact between the two conflicting gods, and Mila's pacifistic beliefs shaped the nation of Zofia into a peaceful and prosperous nation. However, her influence led to Zofia becoming corrupt and hedonistic, never needing to toil for its prosperity.
Biography
Shaping Valentia
In Valentia's distant past, Mila and her brother resided with mankind, but Duma's desires for mankind clashed with her own. Duma and Mila clashed, with the conflict resulting in a pact between the two, said pact split the continent to the north and south, making Rigel Duma's domain and Zofia Mila's. Rigel adhered to Duma's views, becoming a powerful nation, while Zofia followed Mila's and became a peaceful and prosperous nation. However, Zofia became corrupt as a result of Mila's philosophy, forgetting the meaning of toil, leading to crises such as the civil war and common bandit activity.[2][3]
Thousands of years later, in the year 604, Mila vanished, causing a famine to befall Zofia and for their crops to wither, and also increasing monster activity across Valentia.[4] Three years after the famine began,[5] Zofia fell to a coup by its General Desaix, then to a successful invasion from Rigel. In response to these actions, Alm led a revolutionary army to defeat Rigel while Celica set out to find what happened to Mila. During her journey Celica and Alm discovered that Mila had been sealed inside Falchion by Emperor Rudolf three years ago.
Their efforts culminated with Alm leading an assault on the Duma Tower, in which Celica was being imprisoned by the priest Jedah. The two engaged Duma and his force of priests and monster servants in battle, which ended with Alm defeating Duma using Falchion. Duma's last words suggest that Mila then joined Duma in entering a slumber along with him, putting an end to their influence over Valentia.[6]
Legacy
Unlike her now mostly forgotten brother, Mila is still worshiped in Valm at the time of Awakening, alongside Naga. Presumably Duma's message to the future has been partially forgotten, as the lesson Duma tried to teach humanity to not rely on gods, which is, interestingly, Walhart's motivation behind re-conquering the continent.
Fire Emblem Gaiden
Role
Mila never personally appears, but her disappearance is the catalyst behind Celica's quest. Her power is also a recurring element of gameplay, as through the game's shrines she can promote units, and through Falchion she gives Alm the power to defeat Duma.
Fire Emblem Awakening
Role
Like Duma, Mila does not directly appear in Awakening, though she is remembered more than her brother. She is still actively worshipped by people on Valm, with one former priestess of Mila being Pheros. Mila's name is also listed as one of many Fire Emblem locations a player can select as their home on their StreetPass profile card.
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Role

Mila appears directly in Gaiden's remake. She is also featured in a Memory Prism, forging the divine accord with Duma.
Fire Emblem Heroes
Role
Mila is the game's eleventh Mythic Hero, and as such was added to the game in a dedicated Mythic Hero update, and was made available for summoning as part of a summoning event released on May 29, 2020. Only one variation of Mila is currently available in Heroes, based on her Echoes: Shadows of Valentia incarnation. Mila is notably the first light-element Mythic Hero to debut in a dedicated Mythic Hero update (the two previous light-element Mythic Heroes, Eir and Peony, debuted as part of the launches of Books and debuted as part of other summoning event types).

Personality and character
Due to not having a speaking role in any games her personality is described through the words of others. She is caring and loving, even stated so by her brother.[7] Where Duma's influence led humans in Rigel to become strong, militaristic, and uncaring, Mila caused her people to become overly reliant on her, and unable to survive without her blessings.
Among Mila's powers is the ability to resurrect the dead, if not everybody. This is reflected in Gaiden with its shrines to Mila, some of which allow Alm or Celica to revive deceased allied units.[8] Mila also appears to be the one who bestows the ability to change class upon people, as interacting with her statue is what initiates promotions in Gaiden.
