**Christina** is a playable character in *Andaron Saga*. She is the granddaughter of Samuel and younger sister to Lilinette.

## Personality

Christina is a mature girl for her age, and is a staple part of her characterization as she does not want to be underestimated or treated differently because of her age. However, she also often exhibits some sass when she doesn’t get her way, reminding that she is still youthful. Unlike most women in House Rose who are relegated to healer and magic roles, Christina wants to go against her societal norms and aspires to be a knight like her grandfather, Samuel, and is always looking to join the fray in order to prove herself to her peers, more offers than not doing so recklessly. Because of her rebellious nature, she doesn’t like to exhibit any traditionally feminine aspects such as cosmetics or overly fashionable clothing.

#### Overall

Christina is a hard unit to train up. She requires so much babying in the chapter that she joins in as she deals so little damage, will not double for the life of her, and will explode if almost anything touches her. Thankfully is deployed alongside a Jagen and an Oifey who can help babysit. Her growths are comparable to Fred’s, so her levels will be quite average and she won’t necessarily specialize in anything, which can be both a benefit and a detriment. Possibly the worst part about her is her 4 base movement as a trainee, so trying to get to the enemies in order to snowball can be incredibly difficult. This issue is partially alleviated by the 1-2 range Pilum that she joins with.

After getting through the trainee phase, Christina will have the options to choose between a soldier, a cavalier, or a Knight. Cavalier is easily the best option as it provides well-rounded stat bonuses and, more importantly, extra constitution and movement, so she will be able to wield heavier weapon and keep up with the rest of the army. She also gets access to swords, which improves her flexibility and saves axereaver usage for units like Jakka or Fred. In fact, Christina becomes even more comparable to Fred in that regard as lance specializing cavaliers with average growths and possible comparable stats when she promotes.

Both of them also get early access to their house’s regalia, also Christina has an easier time to get hers. If she lands the killing blow on Samuel in chapter 14 while they have an A-support, Christina will be able to obtain the Rosethorn, a lance that grants +10 speed and defense, making her a fast physical brawler. It also grants her the Impale skill, giving her skill% chance to have her next attack tripled in damage like a critical hit. She is in competition with Theodor for the Rosethorn, but she might be able to get to S-rank in lances faster than him, especially since her B-support with Samuel grants her the Discipline skill, which multiplies unit’s weapon rank experience gain by two. She is also technically eligible to wield the Alastor Thunder regalia as well since she gets anima magic usage upon promotion to Paladin, but her aforementioned S-rank in lances will lock her out of it. Even if she doesn’t have S-rank, it requires a lot of anima magic usage to reach S-rank anima, even with the discipline skill. On top of that, her low-ish magic growth doesn’t incentivize magic usage, and both Theodor and potentially Lilinette are more equipped to use Alastor.

Killing Samuel with an A-support removes that support and gives Christina the ability to support Theodor, Ralfnir, and Lilinette, the former two providing skills that improve her combat. A-ranking Theodor grants Christina the Lancefaire skill, which boosts her damage by 4 when wielding a lance. This is especially good if she does wield the Rosethorn. A-ranking Ralfnir gives Christina the Wrath skill, granting 50% crit chance when under 50% hp. This is potentially even more potent than Lancefaire, but more uncomventional as Ralfnir doesn’t appear until much later in the game.
