Inventory:
One might ask if Severa's weapons might be a bit... outdated, but they surprisingly work and work well.
Severa is a master of CQC weapons, with knowledge in swords, spears, and axes. Theoretically, she can use magic tomes, bows, and healing staves, but who would EVER make Severa a Sniper, Falcon Knight, or a Sage? Let's be honest, her magic stat is terrible.
(These items are what I gave (currently Great Knight) Severa in my hard mode playthrough. She had Armsthrift so she had all these legendary items lol.)
Balmung
The divine sword of Issach passed down by Crusader Odo, this godly blade was only usable by descendants of Odo... until the time travel shifted the swords' lenience to be used by anyone skilled enough to wield such a legendary blade, Severa of course being one.
This sword gives its wielder tremendous boost to speed, thus making it Severa's go-to weapon for general combat where she doesn't want to get hit.

Gungnir
The spear used by the Dragon Knight Dain. This spear, just like every other legendary weapon, used to be only usable by descendants of its' original wielder, until a time travel gone wrong allowed a more common blood to wield it, just like every other legendary weapon carried by Severa.
This spear not only gives monstrous strength to Severa, but its range allows her to hit targets farther away from her.

Helswath
This monster of an axe was once used by Neir, the Axe Knight. Gripping this weapon toughens your muscles, giving the wielder higher defensive capabilities.

Killing Edge
While not particularly legendary, this general purpose blade is very potent and lethal, honed to near perfect sharpness. Unfortunately, its' thin blade breaks easily, thus forcing Severa to repair it very frequently, even with her Armsthrift.

Severa describes herself as snarky, usually speaking to others in a cold and harsh tone and often says things the opposite of how she truly feels. However, she has a soft side that emerges when she is truly honest which is demonstrated with her supports with Cordelia and her father. Because of her mother's legacy, Severa was always compared to her perfect mother by others and developed an inferiority complex. However she does not truly hold this against her mother and aspires to be like her. She cares a great deal about her appearance and regularly buys make-up and clothes to look her absolute best. She is also willing to use her sweet demeanor and cute looks for her benefit. She wears her mother's ring, her only memento of her. She is the biggest squanderer in the Shepherds. Her birthday is January 21st.

Cordelia's future daughter. Growing up in the shadow of her mother has given her an inferiority complex and an attitude to match. She likes using words to get her way. The most wasteful shopper.
In the bleak future where everything was destroyed by the fell dragon Grima, sons and daughters of the first-generation Shepherds (who fought and died valiantly to stop Grima from resurrection, but ultimately failed) jump back in time to stop this future from happening. However, in the midst of it all, something disastrous happened. As time and space begins to warp, so does dimension, and Severa was sucked into the dimensional wormhole.
She ended up in a quite watery place. Dusting off her pants and cursing her bad luck, Severa looked around to find the entire planet made of water, with her lying down on the only dry spot she could find... in fact the entire place had very shallow water: so shallow that it barely reached her knees.
Where was she?
Severa walked for hours, her angry determination slowly turning into sobbing and crying until she found a small fishing boat, quite pointlessly floating by. Severa ran to the boat to find an almost-dead fisherman, possibly dehydrated or starved. Severa was frozen in shock at first, but quickly reached the ground, grabbed some water with her hands, and dropped the dew from the sea to the fisherman's mouth.
"WHOOOOO WEE! YOU SAVED MY LIFE!"
The fisherman: who looked like he was dead already, sprang back to living with too much energy for Severa's liking. "YOU THERE! YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!"
"Ugh, stop shouting!" Severa growled snarkily, but on the inside she was glad the poor fisherman lived to see another day. "Why were you dying of thirst when there's water around you everywhere?"
"Oh, I simply forget! I forget a lot of things!" The fisherman said in between his hurried gulps of more water, his hands busy picking the water up from the sea. Severa rolled her eyes. "Aaaaah, all that drinking's making me hungry! I think I'll go fish for food! Thank you for saving me, milady! ADIEU!"
"Wait!" Severa stopped the fisherman from leaving. "Can you at least tell me where I am?"
The fisherman stared blankly at Severa.
"Why, you must've crashed landed, huh?" The fisherman nodded excessively. It seems everything he did was excessive. His hair was excessively long, reaching all the way down to his waist, while his beard stayed excessively short to the point it couldn't be called more than a stubble. His attire was excessively lacking, wearing only a khaki pants, while the embellishment on that shorts were excessively gaudy, with fishing reels, badges, and stickers adorning every surface of the attire. His boat was excessively run-down, while his fishing rod looked excessively brand-new. "You're in Blue Orb!"
"Blue Orb? Where the hell is that?" Severa sighed. "Is it a place in Ylisse?"
"I don't know what you mean, milady! Are you sure you're from around here?" The fisherman again nodded excessively. Severa was taken aback at first but, seeing how genuinely curious the fisherman was, she sighed. Wherever this place was, she wasn't in Ylisse anymore.
"Well, listen. I need to get back to a place called Ylisse: it's where I'm from. Preferably I would want to go to the past Ylisse... 15 years back, to be precise. Do you have a ship I can use? Maybe at least a place to get myself changed. I will catch a cold without a warm bath and a fresh set of clothes."
The fisherman stared, his blinking excessively sparse.
"And why should I do that?" The fisherman smiled excessively widely. Severa screamed in annoyance.
"I JUST SAVED YOUR LIFE, YOU DUFUS!" Severa shouted, which alerted the fisherman of his current position.
"Oh, right! You did! I forgot!" The fisherman chuckled excessively giddily. "Get on my boat! I'll take you to my humble abode!"
The fisherman's house was surprisingly well equipped, with a combination of living room and a kitchen in one room on the first floor, with a large bedroom and a study on the second floor, connected by a stairway. The fisherman claimed that everything was his wife's, until her untimely death by cancer.
"My wife was a scientist, no?" The fisherman said as he brought out a fluttery white dress that his wife used to wear. A dress like this... Severa usually don't wear this in wartime, but she wasn't in Ylisse, so a ladylike attire should be fine. "She studied how things moved around in the world... maybe you can read some of her old excerpts in her study: see if you can find something useful for you to get back to your place."
"..." Severa was speechless. Not only did this fisherman take a stranger in, but he also offered the stranger, being her, full access to his wife's memoir. Sure, she saved his life and all, but was this really necessary? Were people in this place so naive? Well, the best thing she can do is give him her thanks. "Thank you."
Severa spent a week reading through the studies of fisherman's wife and figured out where she was. She was in a completely different universe, with different timeline: one where there was no Grima, no apocalypse, and, most importantly... no mother. No Cordelia to be compared upon. No one to feel jealous of or to be felt inferior when stood next to. It was her legacy, her world to write down the path to her own glory. A sudden smile crept on Severa's lips. She learned what she could about the technologies of this world and, from what she could gather by traveling with the fisherman, there was a large city called Liberty about a few hours of walk from the house. After finishing the last book of the study: the wife's diary, Severa decided, it is her time to shine now.
Bidding farewell to the fisherman who provided her with all the care and support, and took a lonely but satisfying trek to the city of Liberty where she stayed for a couple of weeks, learning the tools of the trade of bounty hunting. She was too goody-two-shoes to be a pirate or a bandit, and anything other than mercenary work bored her out quickly. With her expertise in weaponry came fame, and sooner or later she was a widely known bounty hunter not only in Blue Orb, but in the entire Sector as well. It was no surprise that she was approached by a certain genius...
"Miss Severa, is it?" A man that reminded Severa of the late Basilio asked of her. The two were in the bustling bar of Liberty called The Broken Bottle: a place that Severa called her base of operation.
"Yes. If you have a target, know that you have to wait at least 2 months. I have a lot of work piled up." Severa sneered.
The man smiled. "That's not why I'm here, Miss Severa. May I sit?"
"Suit yourself." Severa groaned as the man sat next to Severa.
"Miss Severa, my name is Cameron Kirkland." The man revealed himself to be one of the most wanted non-pirate captain, surprisingly Severa somewhat. This was because Cameron and his gang was actually on the list of her hit list.
"You?" Severa gasped, in half horror and in half disbelief. "But I-"
"Were you expecting someone a bit nicer-looking?" Kirkland chuckled.
"No, not- Oh what am I saying, I was about to hunt you and your band of pirates down, but looks like you've walked in on your own!" Severa stuttered. This was as if Grima just walked in, begging to be killed.
"You can decide on lobbing my head off after we're done talking, miss Severa. But for right now, I would love to offer you a position in Athenian Marauder."
Severa stared at Kirkland blankly.
"Excuse me? I'm a bounty hunter. You're a pirate. There's no way I'm joining you clowns." Severa cynically remarked. Kirkland kept his smile, seemingly unoffended.
"Scientists. We are scientists." Kirkland grinned, correcting Severa. "Besides, I think it's better for your future to join us instead of continuing your work as a bounty hunter."
"But why?" Severa tilted her head in confusion. "I'm not- I'm not a scientist or anything, besides my work is paying me very well-"
"Which you mostly use on repairing your weapon." Kirkland commented. It was true, without her Armsthrift, Severa spent a lot of money trying to repair her legendary weapons. "Miss Severa, I think you will be an excellent addition as a close quarter specialist of our team. We may be scientists, but we are all hardened warriors as well. I see a potential of greatness in you; you are someone that can bring order and equality into the world. We can help you with your own personal goal as well."
Severa paused and thought for a second. In the end, her ulterior goal was to return to Ylisse. So far, Severa has been in this universe for 6 months, and no progress has been made. Perhaps traveling the universe would be an easier way to find her way back home.
"Fine." Severa sighed. "You got yourself a fighter."
Notes:
The skills this Severa possesses are the following:
- Armsthrift - A passive skill that allows Severa to use legendary weapons without any drawback of breaking, this skill grants Severa a chance (Luck stat x 2) to not expend a use of her weapon. Right now, Severa as a Great Knight possesses maximum of 43 luck, with Stahl as parent. That is 86% chance that she will not consume a weapon use. Not only that, in Fire Emblem Awakening there is a way to pair up two units to grant the first unit a boost in stats. For example, if I paired my Severa with my Lucina, Cynthia, or any other character with high Luck stat, Severa's weapon will NEVER run out.
- Galeforce - Bread and Butter of Severa, this passive skill allows Severa in-game to move after killing an enemy. Of course, in a non-turn based story like EG, this skill would be silly without some rework. In EG, Galeforce will be a sort of system that gives Severa more and more speed and, thus, combat prowess, as she continues battle. Longer the battle, the stronger she will get. The spree will reset when she slays the enemy. This gives Severa tremendous power against bosses.
- Sol - Bread and Butter #2 of Severa, this active skill allows the next attack of Severa to heal her for half the damage done in game. In EG, this skill will be utilized as a way of lifesteal: where for a short while Severa's attacks, if struck, will rejuvenate her spirit and energy.
- Aegis - Severa likes to go in and deal a lot of damage as a CQC unit. This, however, in turn puts her in a disadvantage against enemies in range, particularly those with plasma and laser guns. While in-game aegis has a chance to halve the damage done by magic tomes and dragonstones, in EG, this extends further into artificial, futuristic weapons.
- Luna - Severa finishes her skill set with Luna; in both EG and in game, proc'ing Luna grants armor piercing attacks that grow stronger and stronger if the target has more and more armor.
