| “ | Hmmm... We of Caer Pelyn have turned away from the world outside. The Great Dragon alone holds all our honor and esteem. In this place, princes and pauper are equals. Do you have a problem with that? | ” | — Dara |

Dara (Japanese:ダラDara) is the matron ofCaer Pelyn[2] and the grandmother ofSaleh. She is an elderly and wise woman, being over 100 years old.
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Role
Dara appears briefly inEirika route Chapter 12, afterEirika and her allies clear the area ofmonsters. Dara gives Eirika's party refuge for the night. She informs Eirika of the nature of the "Great Dragon" and the dragon's relation to the original conflict with thedemon king, seemingly using the term in place of 'manakete' which is curiously considered offensive.[3] Specifically, she clarifies that humanity could have never won out against the demon king without the aid of the dragonkin.
Starting stats and growth rates
Dara does have someunused data that gives her a class. Her class isdruid, though, curiously, it is the male variant of the druid class.[4] Curiously, in-battle animations for the female druid do exist unused inThe Sacred Stones. She does have custom growth rates, but she doesn't have any personal base stats, so she uses the male Druid classbase stats.

Personality
Dara is stern but kind and informative. She obviously cares for her grandson. She holds the great dragon in high reverence, acknowledging their contribution to the continued existence of humanity.
