“ | I mean no disrespect... but do understand I take great pride in being a mage of Friege. With the murder of my parents and my brother... it pains me to sit here doing nothing. | ” | — Ishtar |
---|
Ishtar (Japanese: イシュタル Ishtar) was a scion of House Friege of Grannvale, daughter of its Duke Bloom, a full-blooded descendant of the Crusader Thrud and the inheritor of the Mjölnir. Widely renowned as a thunder mage of immense power and dubbed the "goddess of lightning" (Japanese: 雷神 thunder god), she was betrothed to Grannvale's crown prince Julius and served as a warrior in his service, aiding her family in their occupation of the Munster District and later fighting to defend the capital Belhalla from Seliph's impending army.
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Role
Ishtar is a prominent antagonist appearing in Genealogy of the Holy War. She is fought as a boss three times: first in Chapter 8, then in Chapter 10 alongside Julius, and finally in the Endgame. In Chapter 8, after she is defeated, Julius will appear and warp her to safety. In Chapter 10, if either she or Julius is defeated, they will both exit the level: this also occurs if one of them kills a player unit.
She is also responsible for saving many children from the child hunts, according to Felipe.[1]
If Tine fights Ishtar in the Endgame, she attempts to convince her to stop fighting; however, Ishtar remains an enemy, asking Tine to forgive her.[2]

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776
Role
While Leif is escaping the Munster prison, Ishtar, Julius, Manfroy, and Veld have a meeting nearby about child hunts in North Thracia. Eventually, she is questioned as to why her family does not wish to storm Tarrah and immediately begin child hunts there. She explains that they have moral reservations about such a move. Seeing her unease, Julius excuses himself from the meeting and takes her to the prison's yard to admire the flowers.
As Leif's army advances on Leonster, Ishtar shows up in the middle of the battle to petition Saias, the commander of the Imperial forces, for assistance. Prince Julius has a fever and requires immediate medical attention. Saias suggests asking the Loptian Bishops, but Ishtar refuses and eventually convinces Saias to leave the battlefield to help Julius.
After Leif frees prisoners from Fort Danzig, Julius and Ishtar arrive there to survey the area. As a proxy for her family, Ishtar apologizes to Julius for the failure of Friege's forces. After that, the prince takes Ishtar to meet Hilda in Miletos. He does not permit Ishtar to assist her father at Connacht and forbids her from meeting Reinhardt, threatening that he will have Reinhardt killed if she does not obey him.
Fire Emblem Awakening
Role
Ishtar is playable as a SpotPass character, released in the "Others" character set. She is present as an enemy unit in Rogues & Redeemers 1 and 3 of Awakening's DLC.

Seliph: Princess Ishtar?! But why... Why would she-
Felipe: Few people in this land are as kind and caring as Princess Ishtar. All along, the princess has toiled behind the scenes to aid our cause. It was Princess Ishtar herself who ensured that every last child escaped from the bowels of Belhalla.
