Male

Unknown HeroArdent Firebrand

Kris: Unknown Hero
Kris hails from a small Altean village. He was brought up by his grandfather, a former Altean knight, who gave him thorough instruction in chivalry.	After his recruitment to the Altean knights, Kris and his friends served as royal guards to Marth, and during the War of Heroes, they contributed greatly to the young prince's successes.	Despite all that hard work, Altean history has little to say about Kris. In order to build Marth's legend and unite the people under him, Kris gave up his place in history, and everything he did was attributed to Marth...	Well, here in Askr I'm keeping a record of all his heroic achievements! So far he gets top marks when it comes to fighting...and, well, points for trying when it comes to cooking.

Marth Katarina {{{Related_name3}}} {{{Related_name4}}} {{{Related_name5}}} Prince of Altea who fights for his homeland and deeply values his friends.

Kris: Ardent Firebrand
Kris is a new recruit to the knights of Altea, assigned to the 7th Platoon. He's a little-known Hero who eventually became Marth's royal guard, but allowed all of his feats both on and off the battlefield to be attributed to the prince, giving up his place in history.	These days, Kris finds himself going undercover at a festival held in the desert kingdom of Plegia! That's why he's dressed up in Plegian attire—he's trying to blend in with the festival atmosphere!	That open top of his outfit is a hallmark of Plegian style, made for the desert heat. I have to say, he'd make for a convincing proud Plegian warrior with that axe he's carrying, and his hair accessory is like a stamp of authenticity!	Kris is being joined on this mission by Katarina, another member of the 7th Platoon. Will the two successfully manage to infiltrate the festival and get the information they're after? I hope everything goes off without a hitch!

Female

Kris: Unsung Hero
Kris is an Altean knight who served closely under Marth during the War of Heroes. In fact, Jagen and many others in the Altean army depended upon her a great deal.	She was also the commander of a team of knights who all trained together as recruits. It was during that training that they forged close friendships and an unbreakable bond.	Kris was essential to Marth's success in battle, not only for her counsel, but also for winning over his foes and recruiting them to Marth's side.	And she does all this without asking for recognition! It seems she's good at everything, except maybe cooking. Her meals turn out a little... Well, maybe we can find some time to practice together here in Askr!
