Biography
This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.
Amalda is first seen in Chapter 15 as an NPC unit, where she is sending the children she rescued from the child hunts to the village's bishop to keep them protected. She grieves how, as a knight of Friege, she is forced to assist the Empire and is unable to rescue all the children. After being reassured by Sleuf, she sets out to protect the village from bandits. Once Ralf is recruited by Leif, she decides that the village is in safe hands and leaves to return to her own army.
If the player chose to go to the Millefeuille Forest route, she will next be encountered in Chapter 17B. She was moved to the rear guard of the castle after protesting against Count Gustav's kidnapping children. Although she is an enemy this time, the player can choose not to kill her.
If the player chose to go to the Fort Norden route, or did not kill her in Chapter 17B, she will be encountered again in Chapter 19 as the general leading the Friege troops. She questions whether protecting her troops is the right choice, even if it means supporting the Empire. If the player has Sleuf in their army, he can convince her to abandon Friege and join Leif's liberation army to fight against the Empire, thus recruiting her into the army.

Role
Amalda is a playable character. In Chapter 15, Amalda, along with Ralf, appear as an NPC unit next to the church. Once Ralf is recruited, she will ignore combat and move to escape. In Chapter 17B, Amalda appears as an enemy unit.
In Chapter 19, if she was not killed in Chapter 17B, Amalda appears as an enemy unit, and as a commander of eight Troubadours and three Mage Knights. She is recruited when talked to by Sleuf, turning the units under her command into ally units in the process. As Sleuf is recruited in Chapter 16A, Amalda can only be recruited if the player went through the A route.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Amalda is an asset to any player. She can also wield the Paragon Sword (if it is still around) while using staves to double her experience gain, but while her growth rates are overall good she will need a Crusader Scroll if she wants more magic due to a poor 15% growth. While some of her base stats are mediocre for her join time, she is greatly aided by her excellent weapon levels. With A-rank swords at base, she gains access to all kinds of swords, for example the Meisterschwert she joins with. The most notable use of her sword rank is giving her a magic sword for reliable and strong 1–2 range attacks, which is especially useful against late-game magic users.
As a female Paladin, Amalda gets access to staves. While she cannot use every staff with her base C staff rank, it gives her access to many useful staves, including the Sleep staff, the most versatile status staff in the game, and with her high magic base, she can put those staves to great use. Unlike other staff users, Amalda is capable of wielding the Flame Sword at base, which gives her an effective base 18 magic. While other staff users can reach or beat her 18 magic with the Flame Sword, if she levels up magic 3 times, she can exceed the cap without needing a Pure Water or Magic Up. Since enemies who fall asleep pose no threat to your army anymore and can easily be killed or captured, this is one of the most reliable ways to neutralize any dangerous enemy you might have trouble to deal with. Furthermore, if she has 19 magic, she can status Canis on turn 1 in Endgame if another ally Ensorcels her, a feat other staff users cannot replicate without both an Ensorcel boost and a magic floor (all of which are in enemy-filled rooms.
Aside her staff utility, Amalda also possesses great mobility in both outdoor and indoor chapters thanks to her extra point of movement. She can also take and drop as well as capture units in the few outdoor chapters left, and barely even minds the dismount penalty in indoor chapters since it doesn't affect her weapon levels or magic at all. Amalda also has a small but notable contribution of an Authority star, giving every allied unit on the field an extra three percent hit and avoid, which helps to offset the dodginess of late-game enemies a bit.
All in all, Amalda is a quite useful unit that is both good at fighting and using staves without any investment.

Endings
Amalda, Retired Knight
Amalda returned to the Dukedom of Friege, and devoted herself to restoring it to its former glory. House Friege's disastrous rule of North Thracia had depleted most of their manpower and ruined their family land. However, as the years went by, Amalda's tireless work gradually returned the land to its once-beautiful state.
