Character: Lymsleia Falenas
Series: Suikoden V
Character Age: 10

Canon: The beautiful Queendom of Falena. Home to humans, dwarves, dragon-horses, fortress-building beavers, an eccentric but loving royal family, and... nobles who will do anything to seize control of the throne. As Falena's only princess, young Lymsleia is the key to one such scheme. By the tricks and treachery of the Godwin family, she's forced into a marriage that installs her as a figurehead queen, while her new husband attempts to improve Falena through fun tactics such as genocide and ethnic cleansing.

But Lym turns out to be much more to deal with than her husband anticipated. Her remarkable knack for reading the people around her makes her a clever and brave tactician. Planning moves around her predictions of others' actions, she strives for the day when she can take back the throne and give all the citizens of Falena the rights they deserve.

When not on royal duty, Lym is very much a normal child. Caring little for formalities, she's playful, impulsive, and a bit spoiled and tactless, although she rarely means to be. She makes no secret of her special affection for her older brother Freyjadour, causing some to note that her feelings seem a little... more than sisterly. Not that Lym notices or cares! She's just a girl with lots of love for her country, friends, and family alike. What's wrong with showing it by sneaking into her brother's bed sometimes?

(Notes: Lymsleia is being apped from after the final battle but before the end of the game. Freyjadour is mentioned with permission from the player.)

Sample Post:

Stupid, stupid Brother! When I sent him on this summer exchange program, I expected him to come back home eventually. Oh, Brother... I'm sure you have a good reason for overstaying, but that doesn't change how much I've missed you! Well! If that's how it is, it's time I took matters into my own hands and came to find out what's keeping him. I am Queen now, after all.... Excuse me? Yes, I'm really a queen! Oh, fine, if you insist on trifling details, it's true that I haven't had my real coronation ceremony yet. But I am the ruler of Falena, even if I'm still officially "Princess" Lymsleia.

What's so funny? Oh, right, this is a different country, so I guess you've never heard a name like Lymsleia before. Well, I don't mind if you call me by my nickname -- what? You know it already?... No, actually, it's Lym, but you can certainly call me Leia if you want. And now that you know my name, wouldn't it make sense for me to know yours?

Thank you. It's my pleasure to meet you, too, Obi-Toucanobi. And no, that's not a strange name to me at all, nor is the fact that you're a talking bird. After all, my land is very diverse. Some of my brother's best allies in the war were beavers with names like Miroon and Fuwalafuwalu... Oh, my respect for other species is relevant to your interests? And you have a story to tell me? Yes, this could very well interest me too. I'll listen.

... I see. So this was a peaceful country before the invasion three years ago. That those of you who were here first are now facing discrimination is absolutely an outrage! That must be why Brother's stayed so long! He's the kind of person who wouldn't give up until things are set right. Until your zombies no longer have to rely on brains for food. Until your gorillas have just as much right to cabins and beds of their own, instead of being forced to usurp those of the privileged classes each morning. Until your Marcy can live without facing hatred and fear simply for how many limbs she has! Director Elizabeth and her growing army of Campers need to be stopped! I'll bet you anything Brother has a plan, and now I'm here to help him. And so are you, right?

Or perhaps not. You see, while you were speaking, I was also observing my surroundings. What I saw were no less than three "Campers" offering perfectly decent food to your zombies, only to be refused and harassed because it was not brains. Isn't that strange? And not exactly in line with what you told me? I think this explains that occasional snickering of yours. Something's wrong with this camp all right, but I've learned nothing from you except that you've been making a fool of me this whole time!

Well, no matter. I need none of your help, Obi-Toucanobi. You're hardly my only hope! I made this journey to find Brother, and that's what I'm going to do -- on my own! He's the only one I need to help me find out everything about this suspicious place!

...What did you say? I can't believe you're still asking me silly questions! But just for your information -- yes, of course I've kissed my brother!

And I fail to see what's so funny about that.
