Arcana

Arcana is an Einherjar from Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria. She is an Archer and can be found in Surts Volcano Caverns.

Raised in the desert town of Kalstad, Arcana was one of the three legendary heroes who saved the town from an invasion by Crell Monferaigne. Her superior knowledge of weather patterns allowed her to avert certain bloodshed during the disadvantageous rainy season by keeping the Crell Monferaigne troops at bay. In 724 C.C. during the Fourth Kalstad Invasion, she suffered a deep wound and died in the arms of her best friend, Rasheeka. Her death came at a young age, and it is said that even the Crell Monferaigne battalion mourned her due to her prowess in archery.

Arcana is an optimist. She knows that her homeland is doomed to destruction by the desert and accepts it as the natural course of things, but she also has hope that its traditions will thrive while its people still live. She also believes that the land may, in time, recover, and vegetation return to the desert, as Alicia has managed to restore stability to Midgard. She also wonders why her friends were not chosen as Einherjar, stating that, no matter how hard you try, you sometimes do not get what you deserve.
