Fir
Class: Myrmidon – Swordmaster
Fir, a young swordswoman traveling around Elibe to hone her skills in swordplay, is the daughter of Bartre and Karla and the niece of Karel. At the time of the revolution in Ostia, she is training with Noah in the Ostian arena. Fir wishes to become a great swordswoman in order to follow in the footsteps of her beloved mother, who died of an illness at some point during Fir's youth. After she left Ostia, she traveled to the Western Isles, where she joined with pirates on the border. In truth, the only reason why they needed her was for her sword, the Wo Dao, only usable by myrmidons and swordmasters, and would fetch a lot of money on the market. The leader of the pirates sent out Fir with Sin against Roy's forces because he said that when she died, someone was to grab her sword and run. Fortunately, she is not killed, and Noah turns her to Roy's side while Sue talks to Sin. Fir's demeanor is polite but headstrong, and she exudes the same single-mindedness of purpose as her mother.

Famous quotes containing the word fir:
“I remember, I remember
The fir trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky;
It was a childish ignorance,
But now ‘tis little joy
To know I’m further off from Heaven
Than when I was a boy.”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
“It is remarkable with what pure satisfaction the traveler in these woods will reach his camping-ground on the eve of a tempestuous night like this, as if he had got to his inn, and, rolling himself in his blanket, stretch himself on his six-feet-by-two bed of dripping fir twigs, with a thin sheet of cotton for roof, snug as a meadow-mouse in its nest.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Below me trees unnumbered rise,
Beautiful in various dyes:
The gloomy pine, the poplar blue,
The yellow beech, the sable yew,
The slender fir that taper grows,
The sturdy oak with broad-spread boughs.”
—John Dyer (1699–1758)
