The bold princess, Ashe
Married at a young age, she swiftly lost her husband in the wars her country is embroiled in. This princess doesn't wilt in a tower, waiting for a savior, though - when Dalmasca is invaded, she uses the battle for cover to launch her escape and counterattack. During this time, she meets up with Vaan, the game's lead character... but you'll find out more about her later on, when they cross paths again. Though she is just one person, she strives to right the wrongs committed against Dalmasca.
