The struggles of savages against a stout nobility may not be news for Karaya Chief Lucia, but she certainly hasn't seen an opponent quite as formidable as the princess of Renais. Eirika may have many of the typical traits of an ironhead, but she's far swifter and deadly than just about any Zexen Knight ever faced by Lucia. The valorous Grasslander sadly lacks the tools to deal with Eirika's sickening evasion and counterstrikes, and her poor durability leaves her liable to the brutal attacks of the princess' Sieglinde blade. The Karayan Chief may not be willing to lose to an ironhead again, but, against Eirika, this is all but a certainty.
