3rd Regiment Captain and direct superior to Welkin. She is one of the most feared yet respected officers in the Gallian military. Age 35, unmarried.   Drafted during EW1, she joined Gallia&#039;s militia as a sniper, electing to remain in the military after the war&#039;s end. Her work ethic quickly saw her promoted.    An avid reader, her private quarters are a sea of books ranging from economic treatises to children&#039;s literature. One local bookshop owes her its livelihood.    During EW1, she and Largo were posted to the same squad. They were both decorated after one operation that saw them defeat five enemy tanks on their own.    A lust for revenge for her slain love, Frederick, drove her to remain in the militia until, moved by Largo&#039;s words, she was able to lay her past to rest.      Source: Gamefaqs

Valkyria Chronicles is set in a fictitious continent reminiscent of 1930s Europe. The continent, called Europa, is divided into two main powers: The Imperial Empire, a monarchy in the east, and the alliance of democracies called the Federation in the west. In this world, there is a very important resource called ragnite; its uses range from fueling weapons of war to use in medical treatments. Since ragnite is such an important resource, the Federation and the Empire are constantly at war with each other for it.<br><br>
The story takes place in the neutral country of Gallia, known for its bountiful reserves of ragnite, when the Empire decides to invade and seize the ragnite for themselves. The story follows Welkin, the son of a former war hero; Isara, Welkin's Darcsen adoptive sister; and Alicia, a member of the Bruhl town watch, as they fight the Imperials in the ragtag Gallian militia group, Squad 7.<br><br>
Squad 7 fights to regain their homes and livelihoods with Welkin as the squad leader and commander of the Edelweiss tank; Alicia as a scout; Isara as the pilot of the Edelweiss, and a variety of colorful individuals.
