Analysis

Tatiana is recruited in Act 4 atNuibaba's Abode and recruiting her also lets the player recruitZeke.

Tatiana joins near the end of the game as a level 1Saint and while her bases are not terrible, they will likely be much lower than the stats of most other characters in the army at that point in. Her growth rates are solid, though her speed is never particularly impressive. Still, she has enough tricks within her spell list to find use for the rest of the game. She has access to the excellentSeraphim spell which lets her kill Fiends in Act 5,Physic at base, and access to bothFortify andWarp. However, she has little time to gain the levels to unlock these spells unless factoring in Act 6, especiallyWarp, making it difficult to justify spending the effort necessary to do so. While Warp is useful when it is acquired, it doesn't do anything special that one Warp cannot aside from added flexibility, and Fortify is a similar situation where careful positioning can often eliminate the need for it.

Personality

Like many characters inGaiden there is little detailed characterization. Though it is evident that Tatiana and Zeke deeply care for each other, especially demonstrated by her kidnapping causing Zeke to serveRigel. Tatiana wants Zeke to stay with her, and Zeke seems to feel the same way, despite recovering his memories.^[2][3]Shadows of Valentia expands on her character as a good-natured, amiable, and selfless person who can also be clumsy.^[4]

Trivia

• Tatiana's portrait inGaiden seems to be edited from or at least highly based off ofNyna's portrait (pictured) inFire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light.
  • Tatiana's Japanese name (ティーた Tīta) also has the same vowel sounds as Nyna's Japanese name (ニーナ Nīna), differing in replacing the "n" sounds with "t" sounds.
