| “ | Thea, you're such a worrier! Flying is more enjoyable without all the extra gear on. See ya! | ” | — Shanna, toThea in a support conversation. |
|---|
Shanna (Japanese:シャニーThany) is aIlian traineePegasus Knight and mercenary, and the younger sister of fellow Pegasus KnightsJuno andThea. She serves withDieck's mercenary squad as part of her training, having worked in the field for a year prior to the onset of theDisturbance of Bern,[4] and was hired into the service ofRoy ofPherae during the Disturbance.
Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
Role
WhenBern's army first threatened to press on intoLycia,Pherae's LordEliwood hired Dieck's band as reinforcements for the Pheraen army led by his son,Roy. Designated to meet at the frontier between Lycia and Bern, the band arrived to finda skirmish already underway, and Shanna was tasked to find Roy, then return to Dieck and report on his status. After rescuingElen's mistressGuinivere, they integrated into Roy's army and served with him for the rest of the war as part of the joint Lycia–Etruria army.
Later, during theWestern Isles campaign, Shanna encountered one of her older sisters,Thea, in the battlefield in the employ of an Etrurian unit servingArcardo; however, she could only convince Thea to not attack Roy until he consulted withThea's employer. With Klein's defection to Roy, Shanna successfully convinced Thea to join the Lycian army as well.

Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Shanna joins you in Chapter 2 as a Pegasus Knight with a high Aid stat and 7 movement. This is already very useful as she can help get other units to the frontlines or evacuate a unit with low HP away from the frontlines. Shanna also has little trouble if she finds the need to retreat since she ignores terrain. Of course, Shanna suffers from the standard weakness to bows and theAircalibur magic tomes shared by all fliers, unless she is equipped with aDelphi Shield, an item that can be obtained by stealing it fromNarcian inChapter 16.
Shanna has high Skill, Luck, and Speed, but has low HP, Strength, Defense, and Constitution. She will double attack a lot due to her high base Speed and growth, a rarity on Hard mode, which compensates for her low Strength. Her biggest weakness is her questionable physical durability. While her base defense is pretty respectable, her base HP is poor (only 1 more thanElen and 1 less thanRoy) and her growths in these areas are also poor. Shanna primarily relies on her high Speed and Luck to dodge enemies. Fortunately, fliers have much less competition for promotion items than other units, as fewer units promote with anElysian Whip than with other promotion items, and there are three available by the end ofChapter 12, with the first one available inChapter 8.
Compared to other flying units,Thea joins 8 or 9 chapters later with higher base Strength and Defense but lower Speed.Melady is a 7 movement killing machine whose only disadvantages over the other fliers is her later join time and lower aid. The other Wyvern Rider isZeiss, who joins late but has a great class and very high strength. Lastly,Juno has mediocre stats and growths compared to the other fliers and only really serves as filler. It is worth noting that Shanna, Thea, and Juno can execute theTriangle Attack.
One factor to note is that the player will access different versions of Chapters 17-20 depending on Shanna's stats. If she and Thea have more experience than Sue and Sin, the player will go to Ilia, while if Sue and Sin have more experience, the player will go to Sacae.
When compared to the entireBinding Blade roster, Shanna holds a high place above most because of her great class, join time, and solid combat.

Personality

Shanna is a cheerful girl. She can be rash in the battlefield, which is criticized by her fellow mercenaries. She does not take it very well; depending on the person, she protests in reply,[5] or even makes jokes to change the topic.[6] She can be quite cheeky towards her comrades.[7] She is prone to assume things, though,[8] a bad habit she is aware of.[9] Her cheerful disposition seems to be dampened only when confronting a comrade.[10]
Shanna loves her family dearly, and is overjoyed at the news of having a niece.[11] As the youngest sister, she is used to being doted on by her sisters, and likes laughing at the more reserved Thea's attempts of showing affection.[12]

Shanna: Right.
Roy: Why are you fighting outside of Ilia?
Shanna: That's the rule. Fighting outside Ilia gets us experience we won't get in the country." —Roy and Shanna, B Support,Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade - ↑3.03.1Voice of Shanna - Fire Emblem Heroes (Game) | Behind The Voice Actors, www.behindthevoiceactors.com,Retrieved: 7 August 2018
- ↑"Juno: It's already been a year since you left for your training... Are you getting along with the members of the mercenary band? I heard they were all men, but are you doing all right?" — Shanna andJuno's C support,Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
- ↑"Ward: Don't be scurrying around the front lines so much.
Shanna: What!? Scurrying around!?
Ward: It's annoying when some weakling who gets shot down so easily by a puny archer is flying around all over the place!
Shanna: Oh, yeah!? Well, it's a pain for me to have some slow axefighter with no brains fighting near me as well! Haven't you ever heard of the concept of dodging?" — Shanna andWard's C support,Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade - ↑"Shanna: Shoot, just 'compared to before,' huh... Oh yeah, I had something to tell you, too.
Lot: Something to tell me?
Shanna: Yeah. The things that you should be careful of in battle! Do you want to hear them?
Lot: Well, yeah.
Shanna: Then give me your ear for a sec.
Lot: Okay... Like this?
Shanna: ...Don't stress yourself too much, big brother.
Lot: What the...!
Shanna: And that was from Lot's cute little sister!" — Shanna andLot's A support,Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade - ↑"Shanna: Hey, Captain!
Dieck: Shanna, please. Not 'Captain.'
Shanna: Why? Back in Ilia, we always call our leader the captain.
Dieck: It doesn't suit me.
Shanna: All right, um... Okay, then I'll call you Bro, like Lot and Ward do.
Dieck: No.
Shanna: Shoot, can't use that, either?" — Shanna andDieck's C support,Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade - ↑"Shanna: ...Lot?
Lot: ?
Shanna: How come you're always so concerned about me? Oh wait, I get it. Aww, I never knew you felt that way about me!
Lot: Yeah, you wish." — Shanna andLot's B support,Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade - ↑"Roy: Then everything's fine, then.
Shanna: I'll look forward to going.
Roy: Sure. If you like it, you can stay as long as you want.
Shanna: Thanks!
Shanna: Lord Roy is so nice... Inviting a mercenary like me to his hometown, and saying that I can stay as long as I want... Wait...does that mean...? No no, don't get cocky... But still...hmm..." —Roy and Shanna A support,Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade - ↑"Sigune: You... You're Juno's youngest sister. You would fight me?
Shanna: ......
Sigune: By the honor of an Ilian knight... I won't go easy on you. All right?
Shanna: Yes..." —Chapter 19A,Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade - ↑"Juno: While you were away, we had a baby girl.
Shanna: What!? A baby between you and Zelot!? Where, where? I want to carry her...
Juno: I can't bring her to the battlefield, Shanna. I entrusted her to the nannies back home. You can see her when we go home.
Shanna: Yay! Juno's baby...she must be so cute! Oh, I really want to see her." — Shanna andJuno's A support,Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade - ↑"Thea: Shanna... ...Um...
Shanna: W-What the!? What did you just do!?
Thea: Juno, she... She used to pet our heads like this, right? I'm your big sister too, so... I thought I should make you feel better...
Shanna: ......
Thea: Shanna, I'm sorry... I can't be kind like Juno, can I...
Shanna: Thea... ...Did you hit your head or something?
Thea: ...... This child... All right, I don't care anymore. You can fend for yourself from now on!
