“'Tis Archanea's burden to protect the world of crisis—a duty I have striven to fulfill. But Dolhr has laid waste to my kingdom, and now I find myself powerless to stop the world from falling into ruin.” — Nyna, to Marth
Nyna (pronounced /ˈninə/[key][1] or /ˈnaɪnə/[key][2]; Japanese: ニーナ Niena) is the Princess of the Holy Kingdom of Archanea, the daughter of the late twenty-third king. In the fall of Archanea at the onset of the War of Shadows, she was the sole survivor, reluctantly kept alive by the forces of Dolhr even as her entire family was executed, the result of the efforts of Camus of Grust. After two years of imprisonment in her conquered home, when it became clear that Dolhr was growing tired of her continued existence, Camus led a small band of knights of the Sable Order in spiriting her away to Aurelis, where she entered the protection of its Prince Hardin. It is there that she and Hardin meet Marth, Altea's prince, and under him and the Fire Emblem she entrusts to him, the resistance to Dolhr's tyranny begins and grows, progressing to liberate Archanea and Altea, and to defeat Gra, Grust, Macedon and eventually Dolhr itself.
After the war, upon the advice and pressure of Bishop Boah and other Archanean nobles, Nyna marries Hardin despite her lingering feelings for the lost Camus; as such, Hardin is crowned Archanea's 24th king. Hardin soon learns of the absence of love in their marriage, which casts him into a deep depression and, under the influence of Gharnef's Darksphere, twists him into a man of rage and hatred. Nyna hands the Fire Emblem over to Linde, instructing her to give it to Marth, before Hardin hands her over without hesitation to Gharnef, who takes her to be used as one of four noblewoman sacrifices for the revival of Medeus.
