Ryoma (Fire Emblem)

How Ryoma joined the Tourney
The oldest of the Hoshidan royal siblings, Ryoma is wise, charismatic, and devoted to the samurai way of life. He is also a cautious leader who prefers being prudent before taking action. When faced with overwhelming odds, however, he becomes defiant and is unlikely to give in until the bitter end. His virtuous traits earn him the admiration and envy of those around him.

After Hoshido and Nohr is united, the peace is threatened by a Lesphian warrior, Golba.
