“	You see, my heart is on fire!	”	— Silvia

Silvia (Japanese: シルヴィア Silvia) is a Jugdrali dancer distantly related to the nobility of Grannvale's House Edda. She was orphaned at a young age and raised by a man who trained her to be a dancer but abused her, whom she eventually escaped in her late teens. A year after doing so, while travelling in Agustria she met Lewyn and joined him in fighting in Sigurd's army in its war with Agustria and beyond. Silvia survived the Battle of Belhalla, but surrendered her infant children Lene and Coirpre to a convent in Dahna before disappearing.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

Role

Silvia was in an Agustrian village north of Mackily Castle, having spent some time with Lewyn, during the Grannvale-Agustria war. When Lewyn departed to fight a swarm of bandits dispatched to raid the villages by Lord Macbeth, Silvia insisted on following him into combat upon spotting him leaving the village, thinking he was abandoning her.

Analysis

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

Silvia is a Dancer who joins in Chapter 2 alongside Lewyn. Silvia primarily offers utility through her dances, refreshing up to four adjacent units. Four units with extra turns can greatly increase the speed at which enemies are defeated or distance is traversed, especially if those units are strong mounts such as Sigurd or Lachesis. However, as an infantry unit, she will fall behind any mounts she dances for, and may not catch up to other infantry units that get ahead of her; she can use well the Leg and Knight Rings. Silvia cannot obtain the Leg or Knight Rings directly, and must purchase them—they cost 60,000 gold in total; Silvia starts near the village that provides the Bargain Band, reducing the total cost to 30,000 gold, though the Bargain Band is an item many units may want, and Silvia she may still struggle to obtain the required gold.

Silvia offers little aside from her powerful dances. With her low strength and low weapon level, her combat is poor; her stats are primarily for her own defense. As she lacks Follow-Up, she cannot double enemies, but her high speed can prevent enemies from doubling her—in Chapter 2 with a Slim Sword, only Waltz and Erinys have the attack speed to double her, and only by one point. Her low HP, defense, and resistance limit her survivability—every enemy in Chapter 2 deals enough damage to reduce her to below half HP. When reduced to low HP, Miracle can boost her avoid to give her a chance to survive, potentially to the point where she cannot be hit; however, Miracle only boosts her avoid for one turn at a time, and requires that she be at risk to activate.

Though her combat is poor, Silvia can use Miracle to reliably clear the arena. By equipping or de-equipping Safeguard—which Silvia can obtain by visiting a village near Tófa in Chapter 4—she can influence her defense to be put in Miracle range and avoid all of her opponent's attacks; if her opponent does not reduce her to into a convenient Miracle range, she can be allowed to lose then partially healed to the point where they will, though enemies that one-shot her will still do so. This tactic can be used outside the arena to aid Silvia's survivability, though she will still do poor damage. This tactic does not work against magical opponents who target resistance; though Silvia has a decent resistance growth, she is unlikely to survive more than one or two attacks.

If Silvia is alive and has a lover at the end of Chapter 5, she will have two children: Lene and Coirpre. Her fastest pairings are with Lewyn, Claud, and Alec; she has events with Alec and Claude (in Chapters 2 and 4, respectively) that boost love points, and she has an event with Erinys in Chapter 4 that boosts both of their points with Lewyn.

Lene, like Silvia, is a Dancer, and fulfils a similar purpose; she inherits her mother's items, and is relatively unaffected by her father. Silvia can pass the Leg and Knight Rings to Lene, though they are items many units in the second generation may want; if Silvia passes the Bargain Band to Lene or marries Dew—who passes the Bargain skill—Lene can instead purchase both items at a reduced price. If Lex or Arden marry Silvia, Lene will inherit Vantage; with the Sleep Sword, she can put an enemy to sleep before they attack, allowing her to clear the arena more reliably than she could with only Miracle.

Coipre's best father is Claude, who will pass Major Bragi Holy Blood and all his staves, including Valkyrie. If Lewyn promoted, he can also use staves, and thus can also pass them down to Coirpre; Lewyn will also pass his Major Forseti blood and the Forseti if he obtained it. However, Lewyn is a father in high demand, and of the three children who can potentially use Forseti—Arthur, Ced, and Coirpre—Coirpre is the worst; he joins the latest, has the lowest movement, and must promote to use it. In contrast, Claud is not in high demand; he has two other notable pairings—Edain and Erinys—but both have other good options.

If Silvia is dead or unmarried at the end of Chapter 5, her children will be replaced by their substitutes: Laylea and Charlot. Laylea is a Dancer, like Lene and Silvia; she has Charm—boosting the hit and avoid of nearby units—and a unique event that provides the Barrier Blade, but lacks Miracle and cannot receive inheritance, and must thus purchase the Leg and Knight Rings herself. Charlot also performs similarly to Coirpre; though he cannot receive inheritance, he does have a unique event with Hannibal in Chapter 9 that provides the Berserk staff, potentially improving the reliability strategies involving berserking enemies that may have been difficult with only the Berserk Sword.
