Vaida is a playable unit in Fire Emblem. She was known for her firey attitude and very tough demeanor. However, she was fiercely loyal to her home country of Bern.

Background

Vaida once was a Wyvern General fighting for Bern. She was disgusted with the current king, Desmond, but she saw hope that Bern could be restored to its former glory in the form of the prince, Zephiel. An incident occurred one day when another general brought up false accusations of a rebellion as an excuse to enhance his military career. This caused various wyvern riders to kill the innocents associated with the "rebellion". Vaida sent her unit (which included Heath) out to stop them. They were condemned to die for treason, but Vaida alerted them so they could flee the country in time. Vaida herself was stripped of rank and country, and she received the scar on her face from the incident. But Vaida later made a deal with the Black Fang and began working with them in hopes of regaining her former position.

Vaida first appeared as the boss of "Unfulfilled Heart" (Eliwood Chapter 24, Hector Chapter 26). Vaida and her wyvern riders ambushed Eliwood's group after they left Bern castle, with power granted to her by Nergal. She successfully lured Eliwood and his group into the open by threatening Nils. Vaida could be killed during this chapter, but letting her live was the only way she would eventually become an ally. If she survived, Sonia later scolded Vaida for her failure and refused to give her another chance in the Black Fang. Sonia told Vaida to consider herself lucky that since she was not a member of the Black Fang, she would not be punished for her failure with death.

She returned in "Cog of Destiny" (Eliwood Chapter 27, Hector Chapter 29) (again, only if she had not been killed during Unfufilled Heart). Vaida and a squad of wyvern riders appeared to attack Eliwood's group when they were approaching the Shrine of Seals and had passed the mountain range. Apparently Prince Zephiel had told Vaida that Eliwood had saved his life from assassins, but Vaida was reluctant to believe this and launched her attack anyway. However, Eliwood could talk to her and when he confirmed that he had saved Zephiel, Vaida agreed to join with Eliwood's group (although the wyvern riders working under her continued to attack Eliwood's group).

Possible Fates

Vaida has three possible endings, depending on her Support conversations.

• Default Ending- All that is known of Vaida's fate are rumors. One says she was killed by Bern forces. Another said that she was still alive and in the service of Prince Zephiel.
• Harken and Vaida's Ending- Harken and Vaida desired to be together, but they were bound by loyalty to their lords. So they parted ways and did not see each other again.
• Heath and Vaida's Ending- Vaida returned to Bern after repaying her debt to Eliwood. She sought to aid Prince Zephiel from the shadows despite no longer being an official knight. Heath soon came to Bern to join her.

Support Conversation Summaries

Vaida is capable of having Support conversations with seven other characters.

• Canas-
• Dorcas-
• Harken-
• Heath- Heath and Vaida are reunited, and Heath is glad to see her. He is surprised by her scar, but she tells him not to whine about it and that she got it from being weak. In the next conversation, Vaida scolds Heath and says that he has gotten too soft since he left her command. She asks Heath about the fates of her other riders, and Heath says that they have all died. Heath expresses doubt at Bern's future, but Vaida seems sure that Zephiel will restore Bern's prosperity upon becoming king. In the final conversation, they talk about the future. Heath does not know what he will do with his life, while Vaida is determined to return to Bern and help Zephiel, even at the cost of her life. Heath asks Vaida to take him with her and does not care if it is his end, saying that he is her soldier and will go where she goes.
