CHARACTER
Name: Karla
Canon: Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword (Rekka no Ken). (Also taking a bit of info from its sequel, Sword of Seals).
Gender: Female
Age: Unspecified, probably in her teens.
Wing Color: White
Canon Point: Ch 31x (Hector Mode), before Bartre confronts her.
Canon Point Explanation: For this particular game setting, I've found it easier to play my characters when they have "unfinished business" as it were. In Karla's case, she's still searching for her brother, and that is the driving force that moves her forward.
History: FE Wiki
Personality: Karla lives her life in a very similar manner as her brother Karel. She lives by the sword, mastering the art almost to the point of inhuman strength. However, Karla studies the sword for a very different reason, to grow closer to her brother. In truth, she strongly dislikes the sword, the skill that can only be used to kill. She has somewhat lost touch with her human nature (but less so than Karel). But her love for Karel drives her quest to master the sword and to find him, fondly remembering their childhood.
She can be warm (or at least mild) when she speaks to people, but she is emotionally detached from people and the world. She is extremely single-minded in her search for Karel that she doesn't pay much attention to the world around her. She has a certain level of naivete resulting from this.
However, she does express disapproval of society regarding the equality of men and women (or rather, the lack thereof), and she would rather think of everyone as equals. As a woman, she was not allowed to touch a sword where she grew up, and women were told to do what men say. Karla expresses an equal disapproval of Farina's culture, where the women bring home the bread, and the men are reduced to the value of "luggage" as Farina describes it.
While Karla may dislike fighting, she certainly will not run from a fight. She will try to resolve the misunderstanding peacefully, but she will take on an overly insistant opponent. She is confident in her skills, having claimed countless victories from the coliseums throughout her journey.
Strengths (Provide canon examples and include special powers/abilities as necessary. You may combine sections as needed, but remember to always be thorough.)
Physical: Karla is very skilled with the sword. Vaida has heard the rumors that no one can even touch Karla, because she's such a quick opponent. Her strokes are quite calculated enough to knock out a large and dedicated warrior like Bartre with a single blow without killing him. According to Bartre and Karel's FE6 supports, Bartre was never able to defeat Karla.
Mental/Emotional: Karla remains calm and fearless under pressure. She shows no signs of intimidation when Vaida rages at her and threatens her. Despite her dislike for battle, Karla is confident in her skills. Although she recognizes Bartre's improvement, she remains confident that she'll win the rematch against him. She gently assures him that he will die.
Karla has grace both in and out of battle. It is her grace outside of battle that touches both Karel and Bartre's hearts. While Karel prepares to strike her down, she shares her memory of their childhood. Some time later, Karel recalls the memory himself and declines to fight her. Bartre falls in love with Karla, the beautiful girl who is also the greatest warrior he's ever met.
Weaknesses ( Provide canon examples and include special powers/abilities as necessary. You may combine sections as needed, but remember to always be thorough.)
Physical: While Karla's strength may be described as "inhuman" by reputation, she is still completely human. She has no super powers, and all of the normal human weaknesses. It is also implied in Karel and Bartre's FE6 supports that Karla has had lingering health issues, which most likely lead to the illness that kills her in her FE7 ending.
Mental/Emotional: Karla is not terribly knowledgeable about the world around her. She tells Farina she grew up in a place that had no contact with Sacae, where she was born, so she doesn't know how Sacaens live. Karla has been solely focused on her search for her brother that she had not taken the time to educate herself on how the world works. She has a certain level of naivete. She wonders why Farina is so surprised that she hasn't been paid for joining Hector's party. And after Vaida's constant boasting about her own strength and trying to challenge Karla, she doesn't pick up on the urge to see who is stronger (until Vaida finally states it in their A support). Karla is not very organized either. She has no goal in life, other than to find her brother. She was so single-minded in that goal that she has taken up a hobby that she does not enjoy. And after she does find him, she doesn't really know how to live her life (until she marries Bartre).
Anything else?: Not at all.
SAMPLES (ALL SAMPLES MUST BE SET IN THE LUCETIVERSE)
First Person: Coming soon.
Third Person: It wasn't often when Karla stopped to really think about where she was or where she was going. Her journey had a goal, but no geological destination. She always faced forward, chasing any rumors or clues about her brother's exploits. When she didn't find whom she was looking for, she simply moved on.
But somehow she's found herself in an unknown land, in the middle of a forest. She now had some curious wings on her back. Why did she have wings? Was this a dream? Or more likely, a nightmare?
"Brother...?"
For the first time in years, she felt truly lost, with no idea which way to go. It was just like that bittersweet memory, where Karla had been lost and crying as a child. Her beloved brother had picked her up and carried her home. But this time was different. Her brother would not come for her. Karla inhaled deeply, fighting back her tears, and then exhaled. She could find her own way. She wasn't the weakling that she was as a child, when her brother had taken up the sword and left.
Using the river as a guide of sorts, Karla made her way through the forest, eventually coming to a village. It was certainly different from any village she had visited before. Was she truly no longer in Elibe? Looking around, Karla spotted a building that looked intriguing. It looked like a coliseum of sorts, although it, too, was different from the many in which she had competed.
...A Battle Dome? With "simulations"? Karla didn't know what that meant, but it mattered little. If her brother was to be found in this new land, he would certainly be found here.
