Ananke (Japanese: アナンケ Ananke) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Shadows. She is a member of Notia's Monster Watch and hidden disciple of shadow, first appearing in Book 3.
Biography
Ananke lived in the forest with her family and friends, though the forest died, destroying their home. With nowhere else to go, her family moved into a village in Notia and Ananke joined the Monster Watch, though they lived in poor conditions. To support her family, Ananke volunteered for dangerous missions, which resulted in her being overwhelmed by shadow monsters while trying to protect a village.[1]
She was the only one to survive the attack, though barely. As she lay dying, she was approached by Skoll and Hati, the retainers to Fenris. In exchange for her life, Ananke made a pact to become a disciple of shadow. Ananke's new identity remained hidden, and she tackled missions with greater success after taking some time to recover.[2]
Six months later, Ananke was approached by Skoll, who ordered her to help him and Hati break into the academy. The two tried and failed to convince Rusty to become a disciple of shadow, after which they decided to kill him. Overhearing this, Ananke volunteered to kill Rusty herself after Rusty claims the Sovereign Axe from Notia's labyrinth.
