Personality: "Have you no pride, no honor?"
There exist three basic laws of chivalry a knight is expected to follow. They are simple rules at first glance, but their bearing and meaning can shape a warrior's entire existence. Let's take a look at them one by one.
The first law is duty as a warrior to their lord and country. Agrias is assigned as a personal bodyguard to Princess Ovelia, heir to the throne, a job she takes with utmost seriousness and places its importance above all other tasks. In protecting her, she serves her country of Ivalice, and protects its interests by helping raise her to be the best she can be. One must be responsible, steadfast, and loyal to maintain such a lofty position, and Agrias has these all in spades. Not wanting to see her homeland thrown further into chaos with cruel men at the throne, willing to sacrifice herself if needed to uphold the law. She will never back down from a fight and aide those she deems worthy of it, jumping in the fray when and where she can, to protect everything she holds dear. Likewise, if you display cowardice or lie around her, you will get her worst. Betrayal and underhanded tactics are not things she forgives and she can hold grudges. If you manage to avoid that and her wrath, Agrias makes for a truly reliable friend and soldier. The first law seems easiest to define her by, as you would find a knight rarely as dedicated and strong as she is.
The second law is duty as a warrior to God and church. Throughout her life, Agrias stayed true to the Church of Glabados, who worshiped a figure called St Ajora, working as a paladin in their name. Her faith was unwavering and she thought their gospel true. Notice the past tense; after the dark, disgusting truths of the faith were uncovered, Agrias began to waver from it slowly. She was devastated, often lamenting having to learn this, gradually focusing her faith more in people and friends than in holy text. However, she still sees her faith as salvageable, just not in its current form, and hopes for those used to find their way again in some form or another. She lives her life under the light and has it guide her, finding it pitiable when people give in to darkness and despair. Whether one directly believes in gods is another story, but so long as you believe in goodness and try to follow it and the spirit of it, she believes you can be saved and do right. Perhaps the second law isn't the best one to define her by, but it was once dearly important to her, and could be again someday.
The third and final law as a warrior is duty to women. One could interpret this as the bond she shares with the Princess. She is trustworthy and honest, having earned Ovelia's respect and is often used as her confidant, being told things others would never hear even hints to and giving Ovelia the truth, no matter how harsh, knowing it will do her or anyone else better in the long run. To her, Agrias is more than a knight and is a dear friend, and Agrias sees this as part of her duty to her, keeping all of Ovelia's secrets and insecurities locked in so as to protect her. They share a bond like little other, and in doing so, she often overlooks her own desires, saying that whatever she wants is fine with her. When Ovelia is kidnapped, Agrias makes it her stubborn duty to retrieve her time and time again, nobody asking her to do it but herself. Perhaps Ovelia has shaped her too much. The third and final law may be most important to shaping her of all, more so than even the first law, giving her some heart and meaning to her actions. After all, a knight is nothing without a name or banner to fight under, and Ovelia gives her this drive necessary to do her job, and do it with full pride and honor befitting her title of Lady.
Agrias is duty-bound, hard-headed, and as strong willed as they come, overcoming trials of faith, loyalty, and even wavering trust in the throne. She is chivalry incarnate, the definition of what a knight should be, and above all, a good woman with a good heart. Even if she denies herself what said heart wants.
Abilities: Agrias is a Holy Knight, a semi-unique job class in her canon. Her Bravery (stat that determines physical prowess) is a bit higher than her Faith (stat that determines magical prowess) starting at 71 and 63 out of 100 respectively. This is a good, solid level for each stat. It should be noted that female units in game usually have higher Faith than Bravery on average. This all means several things for her.
Agrias is a very deft hand with a sword. Her rank as a Lionsguard (royal bodyguard) would not be so if she weren't extremely capable. Her normal swordplay skills are quite strong, equivalent to a regular knight unit in-game or better. It could be assumed that since her Bravery is high for a woman, she is quite a bit tougher than most other female warriors in her world and easily on par with the men. However, unlike most paladins, Holy Knights are offensive-based rather than defense-based, though Agrias is still adept with heavy armor and shields.
Being a Holy Knight in Ivalice grants you access to five special sword skills costing the user no MP that can strike from a distance and hit specific enemy formations should they fall within the attack's range. They range from raining ice to fantastic bolts to holy beams, each one with a small chance of causing their own status effect on top. They're holy elemental in nature and cannot be used without a western-style sword in hand. Otherwise, the job class is the same as a squire (base class).
