Analysis

Muirne joins at the start of Chapter 6 inGenealogy of the Holy War. She isLana'ssubstitute unit and has no significant advantages over Lana. Her base staff rank is B, so she can use most staves in the game, but she cannot inherit anything as a consequence of being a substitute. Additionally, it is difficult for her to obtain anygold without being given gold from aThief or a lover, as she cannot fight in thearena until promotion, cannot inherit any gold and her movement is very low at 5, limiting the villages she can quickly access. Since she does not inherit anything and has limited access to gold, combined with the limited amount of good staves available early through the vendor, she has a lot difficulty in buying any staves which would make her useful. This results in a unit that can only heal allies at base level and little else, and who falls behind the rest of the army due to low movement, especially in comparison to mounted units.

Muirne's promotion does not give her any movement; while it gives her an A rank in staves and C ranks in fire, thunder, and wind magic, the statistical bonuses are inconsequential because of the lack of movement benefits. She also has no skills at base and does not gain any skills upon promotion; with her poor defense and lack of skills, she cannot perform well in the arena after promotion.

Personality

While somewhat quiet and shy, Muirne possesses an unbending will and a determination to help others, refusing to see herself as weak or unable to contribute to the war effort; at the same time, however, she is somewhat modest and downplays her achievements when complimented.^[1] While scared of the challenges facing her and Seliph's army, she draws strength to carry on by thinking of the people for whom she is fighting.^[2] She harbors an affection forSeliph, which she keeps quiet owing to the class difference between him (a royal) and her (a commoner).^[3] In contrast to some of her fellows, she doesn't mind lacking thedivine lineage held by the likes of Seliph andAres, and believes that merely being allowed to fight in such an important conflict is honor enough.^[4]
