“	When Lord Quan fought in Lord Sigurd's army—gods rest their souls—there was a woman, a soldier, who served alongside us. She was an unmistakable sight on the battlefield... With her long, blonde hair waving in the wind, you could mistake her for a goddess. She was the eldest lady of House Yngvi, and inheritor of the holy bow Yewfelle... Her name was Brigid.	”	— Finn

Brigid (Japanese: ブリギッド Briggid) is a noblewoman of Grannvale's House Yngvi, a full-blooded descendant of the Crusader Ullr, the daughter of Lord Ring, the sister of Edain and Andrey, and the inheritor of the holy bow Yewfelle. She was separated from her family and adopted by the pirates of Orgahil as a young child, eventually rising to become their leader. During the Agustrian civil war she was reunited with Edain and joined her in Sigurd's army.

Years after the Battle of Belhalla, having lost her memories of her former life, Brigid re-emerged in Thracia as Eyvel (pronounced /⁠ˈeɪvəl⁠/^[key] Japanese: エーヴェル Eyvel), a travelling mercenary. She became the leader of the small village of Fiana and founded the Fiana Freeblades to defend the region from bandits. While in Fiana, Eyvel adopted Mareeta as her surrogate daughter, and helped protect the fugitive Prince Leif. In the year 776, when Nanna and Mareeta were abducted by Raydrik, she set out with Leif to rescue them and liberate the Thracia Peninsula, but was captured and turned to stone by Veld, motivating Leif to raise a revolution army to oppose Raydrik and Grannvale.

Biography

As Brigid

In her early childhood, Brigid accompanied Ring and her siblings on a religious pilgrimage to the Bragi Tower, but during the journey their ship was caught in a storm. Brigid was separated from her family as they evacuated the ship. She was found by the pirates of Orgahil, a renowned "honorable pirate" gang, whose captain took her in as his adopted daughter.

When her foster father died, Brigid succeeded him as the leader of the Orgahil pirates. Her leadership of the group continued her father's honorable tradition, believing herself to have a duty to aid the poor of Orgahil and Agustria, to the dismay of some of the band's members. In Grann 759, during the climax of the Agustrian civil war, her former subordinate Duvall led the pirates in a mutiny against Brigid in response to her criticism of their attacks on Agustrian villages, and during her escape she was reunited with Edain, now part of Sigurd's army fighting to defend the people of Agustria from the pirates. Edain convinced Brigid to attempt to draw Yewfelle, restoring her lost memories of her childhood in Yngvi, and she joined Sigurd's army in fighting the pirates, in exile in Silesse and in Sigurd's ill-fated march on Grannvale to confront the lies perpetrated against him. At some point during this time, she had two children: Febail and Patty, who ended up in an orphanage in Connacht.

As Eyvel

Brigid was present at the Battle of Belhalla and survived it, but was wounded and stripped of her memories. Six years after the battle, she was found washed up on the eastern coastline of Thracia by residents of the village of Iz, and was rescued and taken in by them. Adopting the identity of Eyvel, she took to travelling as a mercenary and came to the village Fiana, successfully freeing it from a long-standing bandit infestation. She became the leader of the village and established the Fiana Freeblades to defend it and the surrounding area. At some point during this time, she ventured to Connacht and found a slave market attempting to sell Mareeta, for which she killed the slave traders and rescued Mareeta. Eyvel was unable to find Mareeta's father, and so took her in as her own adopted daughter.

The year Grann 773 saw the arrival of three fugitives in Fiana: Leif, Nanna, and Finn. Eyvel allowed all three to settle in hiding in Fiana and sought to protect them from possible pursuits by the Grannvale Empire, although as time wore on Leif and Finn started assisting the Freeblades in combat missions. In Grann 776, while returning from a pirate-fighting mission with Leif and the Fiana Freeblades, Eyvel found that Fiana had been assaulted by Raydrik and his army in their absence, and was now under their control. Though initially hesitant to let Leif get caught in the fight, or to rush into an uncertain situation, she nonetheless decided to storm the village to retake it. Once the army was driven out, she found that Nanna and Mareeta had been taken as hostages by Raydrik. At Leif's insistence, she decided to depart for Munster with the militia the next day, intending to rescue the two.

After the fight at Fort Kelbeth, when Raydrik arrived to capture Leif, Eyvel voluntarily also surrendered herself to captivity in order to look after Leif. The two and Lifis were taken to a prison in Munster, and Eyvel was taken by Raydrik to an arena in the upper castle in order to see Nanna and Mareeta. In the arena, she and Nanna were pitted against several warriors, with Raydrik promising that she could see Mareeta if the warriors were defeated; when she did so, Mareeta was let into the arena, brainwashed by the Shadow Sword and seeking to kill Eyvel; Veld then turned Eyvel to stone.

Sometime later, after the defeat of Raydrik, obtaining the Kia staff and learning that Sara was capable of using it, Leif travelled to the Loptrian temple to which Veld had retreated, and there found the still-petrified Eyvel and had Sara cure her. There, she reunited with the Fiana Freeblades, was thanked by Galzus for raising Mareeta where he could not, and was approached by Finn about her true identity. Despite Finn's certainty that he had previously known Eyvel as Brigid, Eyvel denied the possibility of being a Crusader's heir as outlandish. Nonetheless, years after the conflict ended, her memory of her true identity as Brigid eventually returned and she was reunited with Febail and Patty, now adults and the rulers of House Yngvi.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Brigid is a level 12 Sniper with very good base stats and major Ullr Holy Blood. Aside from improving Brigid's HP and luck growth rates, her Holy Blood lets her use the Yewfelle; Yewfelle is the most powerful bow in the game, and Brigid can get it through a conversation with Edain that is only available in Chapter 3.

Brigid is one of only two units in Genealogy of the Holy War who can use Yewfelle—the other being her son, Febail—and the only unit who can in the first generation. Yewfelle has 30 might, grants +10 strength and speed, and gives Renewal. With Yewfelle, her base stats, and innate Follow-Up, Brigid can one-round most enemies, and is often capable one-shoting them; Brigid is particularly strong against the high number of Pegasus and Falcon Knights in Chapter 4. However, Yewfelle has 70 hit, and may struggle to reliably hit enemies, particularly those with high avoid or in avoid-boosting terrain. Additionally, Brigid has fairly high durability and avoid and can usually survive enemy attacks, but she is able to avoid most counterattacks as bows attack at 2-range.

Brigid's high combat prowess and strong Holy Weapon allow her to clear the arena with relative ease. She is also a good counter to flying bosses, like the Falcon Knights in Chapter 4—she can be particularly effective against Pamela, who will fly north to Tófa Castle, where Brigid can wait for her to arrive.

Brigid has two significant flaws: her lack of access to 1-range, and her lack of access to a mount. Because Brigid lacks a 1-range option, she cannot counter 1-range enemies on enemy phase, making her a liability in it more often than not. It is possible to manipulate the enemy AI of some enemies to attack Brigid from 2-range and get her kills, but it demands effort and cannot be done for every enemy in every situation. Brigid's lack of access to a mount is arguably more significant; unmounted units fall behind the front lines, and Brigid will struggle to contribute to combat without the player slowing themselves down. As Brigid offers no utility, she is useless outside of combat.

As a mother

Brigid has two children: her son Febail, a Bow Fighter; and her daughter Patty, a Thief. Brigid's children inherit items and Holy Blood from their opposite-sex parent—the opposite of most other children—so Febail will inherit Brigid's major Ullr blood and her bows, including Yewfell; Febail will always have Follow-Up from Bow Fighter and Sniper, so Febail is not strongly impacted by his father. Patty is the unit that is more dependent on pairing, so Brigid's pairings tend to focus on her.

The most popular husband for Brigid is Dew. Dew gives Febail and Patty Bargain, letting them repair weapons at reduced cost and sell items such as the Paragon Ring for as much gold as they were purchased. It also gives Patty Sol, increasing her survivability a little. It is fairly easy to pair Dew and Brigid, as both are unmounted units; additionally, in Chapter 3, Dew has a special event in the Tower of Bragi, close to where Brigid appears.

Another option is Lex. Lex passes down minor Nál Holy Blood, improving Febail and Patty's defense and HP growths. Lex also passed down Vantage and Paragon, letting both children gain experience at a faster rate; this is especially useful for Patty, who struggles to gain experience and promote in average playthroughs without significant dedication. They can both make situational use Vantage if the player is willing to prepare a Vantage setup for enemy phase; however, Febail—like Brigid—lacks a 1-range option and will only be able to use Vantage against a select few enemies. A similar pairing option is Arden; Arden offers Vantage and relatively high HP and defense growths, but does not pass down Holy Blood or Paragon. However, pairing Brigid with Arden is easier as their movement disparity is smaller, and keeping Lex with Brigid limits his potential.

Another option is Chulainn. Chulainn passes down minor Od Holy Blood, increasing Febail's and Patty's skill and HP growths. Febail particularly appreciates the growth boost, since it makes him more durable and reliable; the Yewfelle only has 70 hit and does not give its wielder a skill bonus, so hitting can sometimes be difficult. Additionally, Patty will inherit Luna from Chulainn, giving her a combat tool to deal with enemies. Od Holy Blood also increases her sword rank to B, letting her use stronger weapons; with Chulainn as a father, Patty can use the Brave Sword at base, which vastly improves her combat, helping her clear the arena and contribute in general—especially if the Brave Sword has a kill bonus.

If the player wants to ignore Patty and relegate her to a utility role, Jamke is a solid option for Brigid's husband. He passes down Adept and Accost to both children, significantly boosting Febail's combat and improving his reliability. Adept and Accost allow Febail to attack more than twice in a round of combat; Yewfelle is not very accurate, but more potential shots increases the chance that he hits at least one, especially relevant when fighting difficult bosses like Arion. Additional attacks will not significantly improve Patty's combat, as she will deal very little damage with each attack; it will, however, give her additional chances to activate the Sleep Sword she starts with before she is killed, which can be helpful in the arena where she can then switch to a different, stronger weapon.

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776

Role

Eyvel is a playable unit who is introduced as part of the starting party in Chapter 1. After completing Chapter 3, Eyvel is forced to leave the party along with everyone else except Lifis. She is briefly playable again in Chapter 5, being trapped in the central arena with Nanna, but she will inevitably be petrified as part of the chapter's story and will leave the party again for almost the rest of the game.

She is re-recruitable in Chapter 24x by using the Kia staff to cure her petrification. If Chapter 24x is skipped or the player fails to use Kia on Eyvel, she will instead appear as the Deadlord Draco in the Endgame. As Draco is a Sniper (her class as Brigid), not a Swordmaster (her class as Eyvel), this was likely intended as a hint at her original identity.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Eyvel joins in the first chapter as a Swordmaster. Despite being an infantry class, her base movement is very high at 8; she essentially has the movement of a mounted unit, allowing her to be on the front lines at all times. She is also secretly invincible while around – any attack that would kill her will be a miss instead. Enemies will often miss regardless, as she comes with capped speed (at 20), and as such, her avoid is very high. Her high speed also allows Eyvel to double every single enemy from the very start, making her instantly useful and reliable.

Eyvel has two action stars and one authority star. Two action stars give Eyvel a 10% chance to move again whenever she ends her turn, which is a useful but unreliable effect. It can sometimes increase her player phase offensive potential, or allow her to move further toward an objective. Eyvel's authority star provides +3% accuracy and avoid bonuses to the entire army as long as Eyvel is deployed and alive. As such, Eyvel benefits the entire army no matter how she is used by the player.

Eyvel has the Flame Sword in her starting inventory and is the only unit who can use it in the early game. The Flame Sword is a 1–2 range sword that deals magic damage at 2-range and physical at 1-range, and boosts the wielder's magic by 5. This weapon, combined with Eyvel's other strengths, makes Eyvel excel at killing bosses, since the bosses in Thracia 776 are frequently located on thrones giving them avoid bonuses and +10 defense, but not magic, which functions as resistance in Thracia 776. It is often difficult for other units to even damage some bosses that Eyvel can easily defeat, especially since the player does not have a spellcaster throughout the entire earlygame until they recruit Asbel in Chapter 4x,

Finally, Eyvel has the Adept skill, which comes with her Swordmaster class. Adept allows the user to attack again in any round of combat if it activates, and its chance to activate is equal to the user's attack speed. Because Eyvel's base Speed is capped, she has a decent chance of activating Adept at any time, but it is not especially reliable – for instance, with the Flame Sword, Eyvel's attack speed is 19, thus her chance of activating Adept is 19%, and she has a roughly 35% chance to activate it at least once with two attacks. With Adept, two action stars, and exclusive early access to the Flame Sword, Eyvel's offense in the early game is the best in the army, making her a pivotal unit during the early segment of Thracia 776.

Eyvel is still viable late-game, although she does not stand out nearly as much. Her high sword rank allows her to use every sword not locked to a character or class, and she still has capped Speed, so she will continue to double enemies. Even if she never enters combat, she still benefits the entire army by merit of having an authority star. Her actual combat is no longer as impressive as several chapters ago however; while she still has no trouble one-rounding most enemies, she does however face worryingly reasonable hit rates from some enemies. Dark Mages with Hel tomes in particular are troublesome, since if Eyvel gets unlucky and fails a dodge, her HP will get brought down to one, making her easy pickings for other enemies, or even the Poison status, to finish her off. The enemy Berserkers can also one-shot her with ease if they manage to get a lucky hit. While Eyvel's low growths can be improved with Crusader Scrolls, she notably has an unusually low EXP gain from killing enemies, even enemies that are considered a promoted class, making it harder to level her up and improve her stats outside of stat boosters. Even if her EXP gain wasn't hampered at all, by the time she is rerecruited, there is only one more Chapter left until the end of the game, leaving no long-term gain for improving her stats.

Eyvel's main flaw is her poor availability – she leaves the army for good in Chapter 5 and can only return in Chapter 24x, when she compares much less favorably to other units that have been available longer. She is not the only strong unit who joins early in Thracia 776 – Dagdar is a highly competent fighter, and Osian is capable of one-rounding with his personal weapon – nor is she the only strong unit throughout the game, as units like Asbel and Deen join while she is absent. There is, however, nothing preventing the use of Eyvel in conjunction with these other strong units, especially as she strengthens them with her authority star.

Fire Emblem Awakening

Brigid, under her Eyvel identity, is playable as a SpotPass bonus unit, released in the Thracia 776 character set. She is also present as an enemy in Lost Bloodlines 1 and 3 of Awakening's DLC.

Like all female bonus units in Awakening, Eyvel has access to all base class and advanced class skills available to standard female units.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Role

Between this character's Brigid and Eyvel identities, there is currently one normal variation and one special variation available in Heroes split between the identities.

As Brigid, she was first made available to be summoned by players on August 7, 2020 in a special pirate variation surrounding the launch of the Pirate's Pride update. The aforementioned pirate variation of Brigid is the only one currently available in Heroes, based on her Genealogy of the Holy War incarnation. The Brigid identity is one of a rare number of characters to have been made available only as a special variation without a normal variation of them available (no files at all exist in the game for their regular versions).

As Eyvel, she is one of the characters added to the game in the The Dream update, and became available for summoning by players on December 6, 2019. Only one variation of Eyvel is currently available in Heroes, based on her Thracia 776 incarnation.

Personality

In contrast to her calm and reserved sister, Brigid was energetic, headstrong and fierce. She never wasted words, preferring to cut straight to the point in no uncertain terms, and did not take kindly to attempts by her pirate subordinates to contravene her mission of honesty and charity. In her Eyvel persona, while still as determined to defend the weak as ever, she mellowed slightly and adopted a more maternal persona. Leif, Nanna and many of the youths of Fiana all came to view Eyvel as a mother figure in their lives, playing a strong role in their upbringing and development in the absence of their lost mothers.

Endings

Thracia 776

Eyvel - Mistress of Fiana
Returning to Fiana for a time, Eyvel temporarily led a quiet, peaceful life. Eventually, her "geas," the compact she had made with the dragons, expired. And with its end, her memory returned, seven years after the end of the Holy War. Her belated reunion with her children became the subject of a timeless song, known to any bard who can play a lute...
