After a fight and proven herself to be a surprising force to be reckoned with, Chrom invited her to be the tactician of his own militia - The Shepherds. Little did she know that the next couple of months would be the harder than she had ever imagined, she maybe able to play the field of war, but the struggle of casualities that came along with, the loss and the pain she saw everywhere were almost too much to handle. She learned that first hand watching helplessly as Chrom ran to try and stop his sister, Emmeryn from becoming a martyr.
