Yuliya

Yuliya is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem. She is the princess of Grust and the older twin sister of Jubelo.

Profile

Prior to the events of Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light and its remakes, when Dolhr began invading the continent, King Ludwik, fearing for his own safety, sent his children, Yuliya and her brother, away to Khadein to serve as hostages. Gharnef locked them away in a dark room, threatening to kill them if Grust betrayed Dolhr. The siblings were later rescued by Wendell, at which point they were on the brink of death, and were taken to a monastery in Macedon to recover.

During the events of Book 2 of Mystery of the Emblem and its remake, the twins are eventually taken into Lorenz's care, as he has dreams of restoring Grust's glory with Jubelo. After Grust is occupied by Archanea in Chapter 1, Lorenz attempts to protect the siblings from coming under harm by urging Ogma to lead them away to the safety of Wendell's abode in Macedon. However, this plan is foiled due to Yuliya's adamant refusal to leave his side out of concern over a grievous wound that he had sustained prior to the battle on the siblings' behalf, to which Lorenz reluctantly relents. Once Marth reaches Lorenz, Lorenz succumbs to his wound, his last request being for Marth to protect the children.

Despite Marth's protests, General Lang takes Yuliya and Jubelo away to have them executed. Before that can happen, Ogma rescues the children and leads them to Marth's army in Chapter 4, where he guides them from Wendell's home village in Holm Beach to the southeastern reaches of the region. The children then proceed to aid Marth in bringing the War of Heroes to an end.

In Mystery of the Emblem, Yuliya is the only character capable of using the Rescue Staff, and along with Elice, is able to wield the Aum Staff. However, In New Mystery of the Emblem, the Rescue Staff is no longer unique to her, and she shares the ability to use the Aum staff with other princesses: Elice, Nyna, Maria; and if reclassed, Caeda, Minerva, and Sheena.

After the war, Yuliya studies at the Millennium Palace magic academy, on her way to becoming a fully-fledged Sister.

Personality

Yuliya is courageous and confident but also a bit haughty. She finds it hard to speak to commoners since she has been taught that nobility are above such things, and thus instead tends to order people around. Yuliya maintains the strong demeanor that is required of her position in order to conceal her true vulnerability. Her headstrong character contrasts starkly with the fragile, timid figure of her twin brother, Jubelo. This has led to Yuliya leading this sibling pair, making decisions on their behalf.

Yuliya has proven to be rather rash and impractical when taking decisions, as evidenced by her obstinately deciding to remain with Lorenz against his wish for her to flee, a fact that almost costs her and Jubelo's lives. This is not entirely a flaw in itself, as she promptly reveals a deep sense of gratitude that is borne out of loyalty, for Lorenz had sustained a fatal injury in order to protect her and Jubelo. Yuliya is also revealed to be rather short-tempered, as can be observed from both her exchange with Jubelo in Chapter 4 and the base conversations that she shares with him, where she expresses impatient displeasure towards his lack of confidence and indecisiveness.

Her vulnerability has emerged on several occasions; once in Chapter 4, when she breaks down in the midst of scolding Jubelo, and another in her final base conversation with her brother, when she, moved by Jubelo's concern for her, reveals a deep-seated worry that she maintains for his sake. Even with Kris, Yuliya reveals that she derived inner strength from their wanting to save her and Jubelo, allowing her to not lose hope when she was captured.

Overall

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Yuliya in the original version of Book 2 can be a valuable asset simply for the staff that is exclusive to her, the Rescue staff, which in combination with usage of the Warp staff can make her good for unique strategies at certain points in the game. Stat-wise she and Marisha have very similar stats and growths to the point of almost being negligible, especially since the Starsphere Shards can equally iron out the flaws in their growths, however when compared Marisha has slightly higher growths while Yuliya has slightly higher bases. Both can be of situational usage even without dedicated deployment for their staffs alone. Compared to the mages Yuliya is not as potent in base stats, but can still grow to rival them if she grows well through the Starsphere shards, her earlier availability to most of them also makes her easier to level.

All in all, Yuliya can be a valuable addition to the party.

Yuliya can grow to become a useful unit. She has good skill and speed, supplemented with her high luck growth. While her HP growth may be a little low, this is offset by her decent defenses. Also of note is Yuliya's low magic growth, but as most enemies in the games have low resistance, this is not too significant of an issue. When compared to Wrys, Yuliya is evidently the superior in every stat except for magic and resistance; Wrys' resistance is much higher, although their magic is similar.

Meet Some of the Heroes

Princess of Grust Yuliya
	Yuliya is the princess of Grust, one of the kingdoms on the continent of Archanea. She and her brother, Jubelo, are twins, but she takes the lead with her strong disposition!
	The War of Shadows once raged on the continent of Archanea. That was when Yuliya and Jubelo were both sent as hostages to Khadein, the city of magic.
	During their captivity, the two were kept safe by Wendell, a pontifex of Khadein. However, the king of Grust succumbed to illness, and the kingdom collapsed at the end of a hard-fought war.
	After the war, Yuliya and Jubelo returned to Grust, which was under the yoke of the Holy Empire of Archanea—and they soon found themselves imprisoned once more, this time accused of plotting a rebellion...

Trivia

• Takayashiki Hideo's novel adaptation of Mystery of the Emblem lists Yuliya and Jubelo's age as 12 years old. Though not too far off the mark, this is incorrect, as a villager in Chapter 1 of Mystery of the Emblem Book 2 mentions that she and Jubelo are 13–14 years old.
