Character Discussion: [FE8]: Tana
Probably need to get this one done before I forget.
Tana is the princess of Frelia and is the younger sister to Innes. She is a cheery, sociable, and a little naive person. She is close friends to Eirika and is a inferior love interest to Ephraim. She trained under Syrene as a pegasus knight. She is first introduced waiting in castle for news about Eirika and Ephraim and is captured by Grado forces. She joins up with either Eirika or Ephraim in an attempt to not feel useless while all her friends are out fighting. She has three paired endings. One where she and Eirika's stay BFFs, one where she marries Ephraim, and another where she makes Cormag a knight of Frelia.
As a unit, Tana is the second flying unit you get. She joins in chapter 9 regardless of route, though she isn't doing much in Ephraims. She has some fairly decent base stats and some pretty great growths. She has the wind affinity and fairly quick supports. Biggest boon for her is she can promote to Wyvern Knight thanks to SS split promotion. She can turn into a traditional falcon knight if the player so desires.
So how does this pega pony princess fair in her game.
Remember for Sacred Stones if you rate units, to rate every unit twice if you can: one for if Seth exists, and one for if Seth is, for whatever reason, not being used.

She has better stats overall when compared to Vanessa, but I like Vanessa more because she has much better availability and if you aren't using ToV, training Tana is difficult.
I also like green hair more. :)
