“But history needs to remember that when Macedon went astray, it was a Macedonian who set things right.” — Minerva, to Marth
Minerva (pronounced /mɪˈnɝvə/[key][1]; Japanese: ミネルバ Minerba) is the elder princess of Macedon, the middle child of the late King Osmond's three children, and the commander of Macedon's Whitewings squadron.
In the War of Shadows, she is skeptical of her brother Michalis's claims and intent as he claimed the Macedon throne and directed the country to ally with Dolhr, but is nonetheless forced to serve Michalis and Dolhr as they had taken her sister Maria hostage. When Marth frees Maria from her imprisonment at Castle Deil, Minerva and the Whitewings join his forces. Several years later, she is gravely injured in a military coup staged by Rucke and other disgruntled Macedon soldiers, but is saved by Michalis, then widely thought to be dead. Michalis spirits her away to a Khadein village to await Marth's approach, and she allies with Marth upon his arrival, spending the war searching for Maria, who had mysteriously disappeared in the coup.
