===Analysis=== | |||
{{analysis}} | |||
Tethys is a typical [[Dancer]], possessing high luck and speed along with great growths in said areas, while being very frail. However, as Tethys is unable to attack, her stats might as well not matter. | |||
Tethys's main use is dancing to refresh a player unit and give them another turn; this is incredibly powerful when utilized in combination with [[Rescue (staff)|Rescue]] and [[Warp]] in order to easily skip certain chapters. Due to the low quality of enemy units and absence of many strong Warp users, Tethys is not as useful as most dancers. With some thought, however, Tethys can easily make use of her unique skill and justify a deployment slot for any map after she joins. | |||

“ | That, my dear, is my little secret. Mine may be a bit unique, though. My life's taken some odd turns, but it's because of them that I started dancing. And when I'm dancing, I'm happy. | ” | — Tethys, on her dancing style |
---|
Tethys (Japanese: テティス Tethys) is a dancer who appears in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. She is from Jehanna, a desert country on the continent of Magvel. She is the older sister of Ewan and a member of Gerik's mercenary company. Since she is a dancer, she provides morale boosts to her fellow allies, but cannot fight on her own.
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Role
Tethys first appears in a village in Chapter 5, in which she tells the visiting unit that they just missed her performance. However, she states that a wealthy viewer left her with many gifts, and she gives a Dragonshield to said visitor, saying that wealth is useless if it's not used to benefit others, and that she cannot possibly carry all of her donations.[1]
Later, she appears in the middle of the game either in Eirika or Ephraim's route. Either way, she is hired by Innes to help him on his way to the country of Jehanna. In Eirika's route, she appears in Chapter 10 with Gerik and Innes, trapped in a fortress in Carcino. After Innes chooses to leave Gerik and Tethys, she stays with Gerik and they fend for themselves. However, Eirika reaches them and convinces them to join her army.
Alternatively, in Ephraim's route, Innes sends them to help Ephraim. They appear in Chapter 13, and first meet Myrrh and tell her where Ephraim is. They are trapped quite far away from Ephraim with few supplies, but they manage to survive against Grado troops until Ephraim arrives to help them. Afterwards, Tethys joins Ephraim and helps to dance for the other soldiers for the rest of the game.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Tethys is a typical Dancer, possessing high luck and speed along with great growths in said areas, while being very frail. However, as Tethys is unable to attack, her stats might as well not matter.
Tethys's main use is dancing to refresh a player unit and give them another turn; this is incredibly powerful when utilized in combination with Rescue and Warp in order to easily skip certain chapters. Due to the low quality of enemy units and absence of many strong Warp users, Tethys is not as useful as most dancers. With some thought, however, Tethys can easily make use of her unique skill and justify a deployment slot for any map after she joins.

Personality
Tethys is a very graceful and beautiful woman who is confident in herself and her dancing abilities. She is quite sociable and often can be teasing and playful. To those she is close to, Tethys is very caring, such as how she cares greatly for her brother Ewan and acts as a maternal figure to Artur.[2] Although she warns Ewan that the battlefield is a dangerous place that, at least to her, he is too young for[3], she still accepts that he is growing up. She also is quite observant, such as when she notices that Marisa is left-handed.[4]
Tethys is the sister of Ewan, a young novice mage. She and Ewan were abandoned when they were just children,[5] and they lived in the streets alone. However, Tethys worked hard to help Ewan by trying to imitate the moves of a street dancer. She fell many times and become covered in cuts and bruises, but she did it for a better life, so she would not have to see Ewan cry.[6] Eventually, she was able to make a living with her dance, as well as raise her brother on her own. How she met Gerik is unknown, but she is currently a loyal and steadfast member of Gerik's mercenary group. As part of the group, she is also a friend of Marisa. Both Tethys and Marisa have feelings for Gerik, but either one can marry him depending on which girl has an A support level with him.

Trivia
- Tethys's death quote and an offhand line to Gerik in her support conversation with him[7] seem to imply that Tethys has some skill in making fortunes, though this ability ends up never being mentioned in detail elsewhere.
- In the Japanese version of Tethys's C support with Marisa, Tethys asks Marisa why she sleeps on her left side, to which Marisa replies that she sleeps with her dominant side up.[citation needed] This is incorrect as Marisa is left-handed. The English version modified so that Tethys asks Marisa why she sleeps on her right side.

A wealthy patron left me a small ransom in gifts after watching my performance. You can sell one for gold if you'd like or use them to improve your skills. I simply cannot carry all of this by myself, so please, take this one. Wealth is useless if you can't use it to bring happiness to others, right? Thanks for dropping my.

And miserable. And very, very difficult. But I never cried. Because if were to cry, he would cry. And I loved seeing Ewan's smiling face. I wanted him to smile all the time, so I worked hard so he could." — Tethys and Gerik's B support, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
