## Profile

### Identity

Lancer's true identity is **Edelgard von Hresvelg**, the princess and the future emperor of the Adrestian Empire. She possesses a Minor Crest of Seiros. In the Officers Academy, she is the leader of the Black Eagles. Edelgard is seventeen at the start of the game and wields axes as her main weapon.

### Personality

Edelgard holds herself with a dignified air, but full of melancholy and solemn wistfulness. As heir of the Adrestian Empire, she is an exemplary student and a natural leader. She keeps a modest front, rarely cutting loose and maintains formality. Her colleagues express great surprise whenever she does relax. While generally a private person, she does recognize the importance of her duties and expresses confidence and faith in the abilities of her allies.

She is a capable dancer, having taught Dimitri at a young age and has a talent for drawing portraits, though she is embarrassed to show them to others. She has a personal nickname, El, of whom she only allows very close individuals, namely family and close friends, to call her.

Though she tries to keep it a secret, Edelgard is deathly afraid of rats, as they remind her of a past she is uncomfortable with. She also fears the ocean since she cannot swim. She suffers from insomnia and nightmares, often wandering around outside after dark. She may have claustrophobia, and expresses a need to see the sky after one of her nightmares.

## Abilities

Edelgard possesses monstrous strength and superhuman endurance despite her height. It is also the main reason why she was able to hold such a heavy object like Aymr with ease. She can easily carry a person with a single arm. With her high physical abilities, she is skilled with the martial art, glima, that is considered to be the oldest martial art in the Scandanvian region.

This martial art is heavily influenced by wrestling and emphasis on quick strikes, good footwork, and when necessary, brutal finishers to kill in warfare. There’s variations to be used with armed combat and even on horseback. While strength is a key factor, technique usually outlasts the former. However a match between practitioners often comes down to endurance and whose will is greater. Out of all the weapons that she had wielded in the past, she favors using the ax the most.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Aymr "Raging Storm"**

Her Noble Phantasm that is the shape of an ax. Once a mystic code, it was carved from the bones of a phantasmal beast of a dragon. The weapon had been enhanced by old runic inscriptions. It is considered to be one of the most valuable weapons in the family. The weapon possesses a high mystery which is advantageous against non-humans. The ax can act as a magical staff because it does possess several wind spells stored within that allows the sword to invoke wind attacks. Edelgard can slash with the ax hundreds of meters away from her opponent that would create resonant-like effects that produce invisible impacts on the targets several hundred meters away.
