Guard captain for Brillet Desert, a town surrounded by sand, Volenna is a strict taskmaster who speaks with piercing ferocity and holds herself to the same high standards she places on others. Still empathetic, she understands the loneliness Sara endures, but thinks of it as something she can overcome, believing that Sara has the strength to do so. At times, Volenna entertains the thought of giving Sara more freedom, but ultimately decides against it each time. Despite her harsh attitude and manner of speaking, she's a caring and responsible girl with excellent housekeeping abilities.

Happy Birthday Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

So today's your birthday, huh? The fact that you've survived this long is something to be proud of.
Many things are lost over the years. Hopes... Dreams.... Even the lives of others.
The things you took for granted yesterday could disappear tomorrow. Never forget that.
With that being said, I hope this coming year will be another prosperous year for you, (Captain).

2

Happy birthday. I'm glad I was able to be with you on your special day.
My own and Sara's lives have changed significantly since meeting you--for the better, I believe.
I hope that our presence in your life has changed yours for the better as well.
Who knows what would've become of us if it weren't for...Anyways, we'll make sure you stay happy and healthy until your next birthday.

3

(Captain), happy birthday.
I'd like to celebrate you completing another year of your perilous journey.
You're always considerate toward the people around you.
That's respectable enough... But that consideration can leave you vulnerable all the same.
Any one person's attentiveness has its limits. Naturally, if you're in trouble I'll help out...
But there will be times when I'm not by your side. I'd be appalled if anything were to happen in my absence.
That's why I have to ask you: Please take care of yourself. There's no better way to take care of others.

4

Happy birthday, (Captain). I'm glad we can celebrate together like this again.
Whenever there's someone in trouble, you're always the first one pouncing in to help. You really had me on edge all year...
Your consideration toward others is a rare quality. You should be proud of it—as am I.
But you know, it can get dangerous if you step too far over the line.
No matter how much you want to help those around you, someday you may find it all too much if you don't keep it in moderation.
You have to prioritize your own safety, got it? You can still save others by looking after yourself first.
I owe you my life, and that's why I'm telling you this. Don't forget it, (Captain).

5

Happy birthday, (Captain). How old are you turning this year? Oh yes, that's right.
When I was your age, I thought of myself as a full-fledged adult.
But looking back now, I guess I was still young... More child than adult.
I'm not saying you're immature, though. On the contrary, both you and Sara are so considerate of others, sometimes I worry.
As an adult now, I'm thinking it might be good for you to act more like a child while you can.
I don't want to see you taking on everything by yourself until it's too much to bear. Relying on other people can make them happy too.
You showed me how to be considerate of others, (Captain). Now allow me to help you.

Happy New Year Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

The curtain has been drawn on a new year. We should rekindle our ambitions by aspiring to accomplish something new.
What will I aspire toward? Hmm. Let me think...
...
I guess I'm hoping to smile a little more.
Hah... You think that's funny? I'm being serious. Very serious.

2

Happy New Year, (Captain).
My smile? Yeah... It's actually been a New Year's resolution of mine.
You see, it can be kinda... difficult. Smiling naturally doesn't come easy for me.
People tell me it's simple, but they're wrong. That's not the case at all.
Anyways, if you think of any good practice methods, please let me know.
If Sara always sees me looking so serious, she'd probably get worried, you know?

3

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Hm... My New Year's resolution? You want to know that right off the bat?
Yes, that's right. I'm resolving again this year to learn how to smile naturally.
I tried again and again last year, but it didn't quite pan out. So this year is going to be the year...
Hm? You mean there's already something less than natural about my way of thinking?
You could just be right, (Captain).
I guess so... Maybe what really matters is where your heart is...
Well now, I thought I'd learned how to control my emotions.... But it seems that might've done more harm than anything.
I'm grateful for your advice. This is going to be the year that I do a bit of hard work to advance.

4

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Hm? What's a natural way to smile? I'm not too sure about that myself...
Well, Sara's been saying that I've been smiling a lot lately, and Jin seems to agree.
I guess you don't really realize these things until someone tells you, huh?
In the end, there're a lot of things you don't know about yourself.
For example, having come this far, I can't believe I ever thought to let Sara just die like that...
People change without realizing it themselves.
I hope I can continue to change for the better—I'll have to keep working hard this year too.

5

Happy New Year, (Captain). How many times have we exchanged New Year's greetings now?
Back when we met in Brillet, I never thought we'd travel together like this for so long.
You, Sara, and I... We've come a long way, haven't we?
But I suppose you've still got a long way to go from here. To the end of the skies—to Estalucia.
I pray with all my heart that you'll be able to see your father again, and I promise I'll do what I can to help you.
Not just in return for what you've done for us, but as a friend, I want to help you attain your wish.
I got a little emotional there, didn't I? It's just that I happened to dream about my late father last night...
Just as my father dedicated his life as a soldier to protect the previous priestess, I want to protect what's precious to me too. That's what I truly believe.

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

What? What is it? You want chocolates?
You got some from Sara, didn't you?
I've worked hard to make sure I could always get you chocolate. And I always had to make sure I didn't upset Sara by giving you chocolate first.
Humph. Just take it. I made these, and some of them are kinda blobby, but don't let it bother you.
Thanks for all the help so far, Captain. I owe you one.

2

Hey, (Captain). Have you been getting enough sleep lately? Here. Take a load off and eat this.
You're just like Sara... The both of you don't realize when you're pushing yourselves too hard.
That's why you need to take a break every now and then.
Valentine's Day can be quite beneficial if you think about it this way.
I must thank you for everything, (Captain). Stay a while and rest.

3

(Captain), did you already pick up your chocolates from Sara?
If you did, great. Because she worked as hard as ever this year.
Let me give you a few as well. It's my way of saying thanks for everything you do.
Hm? Yeah, they're handmade again this year. Sara and I baked them together but made them different flavors.
This much is really nothing though. Especially when you're always putting yourself out there for the crew and everyone.
Why not take a bite and call it a day? Everybody needs to rest now and then.

4

Here, take this. It's chocolate for Valentine's.
Hm? Yes, I told Sara she should try making chocolate for you this year by herself.
This chocolate from me is from a handmade chocolate shop. Watching the chocolatier make it was quite interesting...
Huh? You were looking forward to my handmade chocolate?
Well, if you don't mind it being the usual, I can always make something for you even when it's not Valentine's Day.
So just enjoy the chocolatier's handmade chocolate today. You don't get this every day, you know.

5

I was too late...
(Captain)... Sorry, I just came back from buying some baking ingredients with Sara...
And judging from the state of this kitchen... it seems Katalina came in here while we were out.
Oh, don't make that face. Katalina's made things before for Valentine's. It can't be that bad...
I'm sorry. I was trying to be positive.
In any case, once I get the kitchen cleaned up I'll make something better for you, so why don't you look forward to that instead?
You... can't really taste anything anymore?
Oh, um, well... Don't push yourself too hard. I guess I'll help... with finishing these too...

1

For me? Ah, you must want me to give this to Sara. Oh, you don't?
I see. This must be for what I gave you on Valentine's Day. I can tell you also have a strong sense of integrity.
If you enjoyed that candy I gave you, I can always make more for you anytime.
I made it a point to memorize the recipe. It's good to do something challenging sometimes. I mean it.
I care about you just as I care about Sara. I'd sooner pass out from exhaustion than give up on doing anything I can for either of you.

2

A White Day gift for me? Of course... You have my thanks.
I'll make something different for you next year on Valentine's Day too.
...
S-sorry. I was just surprised at how matter-of-fact I made that promise to you.
I guess people can change after all. In my case, I think it's for the better—all thanks to you.

3

Why'd you call me over here?
Hm? A present? For me?
I see... Today is White Day then. Sorry, it totally slipped my mind.
You're on top of it every year, aren't you? Thanks for your thoughtfulness. I really appreciate it.
Since we're all together, how about we put on some tea and eat these with Sara. What do you say, (Captain)?

4

You prepared another present for me for White Day? Thank you.
I'd forgotten what it was like to express gratitude and respect in this way for so long.
Perhaps it's because I'd been so focused on my mission as captain of the guard to bring the priestess to her place of death...
I was under so much pressure back then, and didn't consider the feelings of my subordinates.
Hm? You're right. I should learn from you and make something for everyone in the guard too.
Haha, they might laugh if I do something like that though...
Well, nothing would make me happier than to see smiles on all of their faces.

5

(Captain)! Perfect timing. We received a package from Kaz just now...
He sent something for you, Sara, Lyria, and the others. I was just about to go find you...
Hm? What's this?
Oh! Today's White Day, huh? Sorry, I'd completely forgotten.
Thank you for being so thoughtful, (Captain). I'm looking forward to having it.
Hmm, that must mean this package from Kaz is also for White Day.
I guess that's why it's addressed to me and not Jin. And here I was assuming he'd decided to send it to me since Jin is always so careless...
I'm joking. I've come to a point where I can afford a joke or two—and it's all thanks to the time I've spent with this crew.

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

Phew, getting Katalina away from the kitchen took a lot out of me.
Now is not the time for silly pranks, (Captain). Proper measurement is of utmost importance when making sweets.
I'll give you and Lyria a handful when I'm done. But for now... Hey!
Who said you could snack on my pumpkin jam!

2

Oh, there you are, (Captain). I made some treats with Sara the other day. You should enjoy them with Lyria and the others.
The truth is, Sara's actually got a fever right now. She was so excited about the treats that she wasn't able to sleep well, it seems.
I'm probably gonna stay by her side today. If you have some time later, you should stop by and give her a visit.
Also, take it easy on the pranks today. I know you like to go a little overboard sometimes on Halloween, heh.

3

T-trick or treat...
...!
Oh, it's you, (Captain)... Did you... just see that?
You did, didn't you?
Sara invited me to have fun together with her on Halloween...
But I'm at a bit of a loss for what to do. So I was holding a little dress rehearsal before heading out...
To be honest, I'm not sure that Sara will be able to have fun with me...
(Captain), if you're going into town, would you mind going along with me?
Really? I'd appreciate that. For Sara's sake and yours, I'll try to make it fun.

4

Happy Halloween, (Captain). What's that? Trick or treat? Wait right there, I'll get you something to eat.
Actually... I'm still in the middle of making it, so I don't have anything ready at the moment.
Apparently Branwen really likes desserts. She and Sara came in and just ate everything...
But seeing them eating so happily makes me happy too.
Hm? If I don't have any treats, then it's time for a trick? Hah, if you think you can trick me, then bring it on...
But that means you will never get some of that delicious dessert baking in the oven right now.
Now, which will it be, (Captain)? Trick or treat?

5

Sorry, (Captain). The treats aren't ready yet—looks like it's still going to take a while to finish making them.
Branwen! Don't touch the kettle, you'll burn yourself...
Or... maybe you won't.
Oh, come now, don't cry. Your tears will get in the bowl... Sara, help me wipe them away.
Sigh... You're laughing now, (Captain), but Graphos and Branwen have very large bodies.
Things can get cramped in the kitchen with both of them here... I mean, in addition to me, Sara, and Jin, of course.
Don't cry, Branwen. I'm not blaming you for anything. Graphos, can't you do anything to cheer Branwen up?
Goodness... (Captain), Jin. Keep smiling like that and you'll find some hot chili peppers in your sweets.

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

So this is the peace of the holiday season. Sara and I have never really had the chance to experience it before.
From those who survived the floods of Manawydan, she was chosen as Priestess of the Dunes, and I was chosen to protect her.
Though our bond is strong, we've never really had the type of relationship that would allow us to enjoy this season.
Come to think of it, that must have been hard for Sara and all the maidens that came before her.
Can we change that someday? Yes. I very much hope so.

2

I know I stored it here somewhere...
Oh hey, (Captain). What's up?
Oh, this? I was thinking of putting up the pinecone tree Sara made this year too.
Back when I was guard captain, our policy was to carry as few possessions as possible.
Interestingly enough, since I've joined your crew I've begun to keep more material things.
But that's not a bad thing, I think. At least, I'd like to think...
Whether it's belongings or memories, it's important to not throw away what's precious to us.

3

It seems that spices are a bit pricy this time of year. Everyone needs some, so there's a little shortage...
Well, we have everything we went shopping for. Let's return to the ship—there are people waiting for us in the kitchen.
That said, the town has really come alive on the eve of the holiday.
Everyone's singing the praises of the holiday... It's a symbol of peace.
No, maybe it would be better to call it a sort of everyday miracle...
...
I'm sorry... I've gotten a little emotional. Come on, let's hurry back. Sara and the others are waiting for us.

4

It's awfully chilly tonight. We might even see snow by dinnertime.
Don't just stand there getting all excited about the snow. Put on more clothes—you'll catch a cold.
If you get sick, you won't be able to enjoy the holy night dinner and presents this year.
What? What do you mean I'll take care of you if you get sick?
Fine. If that's how it's going to be... If you catch a cold, we'll have Katalina prepare our meals instead.
I'll bring the meals to your bedside and make you eat them, of course. After all, we have to make sure you're eating properly, right?
No? Then you'd better wear this scarf and get yourself warmed up.

5

What is it, (Captain)? You've been looking over like you want to tell me something...
I look tense, you say? It's just your imagination...
Or... maybe not. You're right. I know it's no use thinking so much about it, but I can't help it...
Actually, the other day, Sara and I sent off a greeting card to Yusuf, Nasir, and the soldiers back in Sable for the holidays.
The routes around Sable have been unstable lately, so I'm worried whether or not the card safely made it to them.
The cards we send them every year usually arrive late, so I suppose I got a little nervous.
You know, I'm surprised at myself for being able to worry about something like this now... I guess I've changed.
Huh? I've always been good at looking after things? What are you talking about, (Captain)... No need to flatter me like that.

Fate Episodes

Taking the Lead at Camp

The crew is setting up camp near a watering hole. While Katalina prepares a meal, Volenna goes to get water, but she comes running back due to a sudden stench from the camp. Volenna is shocked to learn that the smell is from Katalina's soup, and she decides to join the crew to help them with basic chores.



During their travels, (Captain) and company meet Volenna, who is pursuing a certain primal beast.
They decide to accompany her on her search.
Katalina: Well, we've been walking for a while. It looks like there's a watering hole nearby, so let's camp here for the night.
Volenna: It's not like we've traveled very far, but I guess the children with us have had enough.
Volenna: I'll go fetch some water. You light a fire and start setting up camp. And keep your eyes open for monsters.
Lyria: Oh! Dinner time! Say, Katalina, what will you be making?
Katalina: Maybe something to warm us up... Soup, perhaps? I'll see what I can whip up.
Lyria: Sounds good! I'll help, too.
Vyrn: Oh, gimme a break! Just one of you is bad enough, trust me...
Volenna: Hey! What's this stench? I could smell it from half the forest away!
Lyria: I'm sorry... We were making soup, but we burned it...
Volenna: You burned it? Is that supposed to explain this stench? What sort of garbage did you put in that soup?
Katalina: Ugh... This is really embarrassing. I was as careful as I could be, but I've never been much for cooking.
Volenna: No excuses! Camping is a basic part of being a soldier. Did you even pass your training?
Volenna: I expected better of you. The ingredients were in this bag, right? I'll just throw together the leftover dried meat and some root vegetables...
Vyrn: This is amazing! I can't believe how fast you did that! That's some real talent there, Volenna!
Volenna: Talent? Any monkey could do this. All I did was chop it up and fry it. Now hurry up and eat it while it's still hot.
Lyria: Thank you so much! Wow! The more I chew it, the better it tastes!
Volenna: Haven't you ever had dried meat before? Hey! Eat the vegetables, too, not just the meat!
Vyrn: We could really use someone like you in our crew. Don't you agree, (Captain)?
  1. Sure. I mean, you'd be a big help.
  2. Sure. You're a great cook after all.

Choose: Sure. I mean, you'd be a big help.
Volenna: Flattery will get you nowhere with me. Would you like seconds?

Choose: Sure. You're a great cook after all.
Volenna: Don't be silly. I'm sure you can handle something as simple as cooking, (Captain).
Katalina: H-hang on... It's not as simple as you make it out to be. I mean, I—
Continue 1
Volenna: But I guess I owe you people. I'm more than happy to lend a hand.
Lyria: Yay! And let's stay together after we find that primal beast too!
Volenna: I hadn't given any thought to what happens once we achieve our objective, but I guess that'd be fine.
Volenna: I can't let you people live like barbarians. I'm gonna drill the basics of cooking, laundry, and every other chore I can think of into you!
Volenna: You better prepare yourselves!
Volenna proves to be a strict taskmaster, but the rest of the crew occasionally catches a glimpse of her inner kindness.
Surrounded by the hustle and bustle of (Captain)'s group, she finds her own way of life slowly changing as well.

What Can I Do for You?

One day a small girl comes to request that the crew find a ribbon that she's lost for a small sum. The ribbon is a keepsake from her mother, but Volenna coldly tells the girl to find it herself.



One day (Captain) and company are approached by a little girl with a request.
Girl: Um... Is this enough to pay for your help?
Katalina: What's wrong? Tell us what happened.
Girl: Well... I went on a picnic the other day, but monsters showed up, and I dropped my ribbon.
Lyria: So you want us to find your ribbon?
Girl: Yes, please. My mom gave it to me before she died...
Volenna: You seriously think we're going to help you for that chump change? If it's that important to you, go look for it yourself.
Katalina: Stop it! She's only a child, and we're talking about a keepsake from her mother.
Volenna: Don't be stupid. And don't spoil her.
Girl: You mean... you won't...
Lyria: Oh no! Don't cry. We'll help you look for it.
Girl: Really? You'd do that for me?
Katalina: Of course. We'll find your ribbon for you. Right, (Captain)?
Volenna: You're really going to do this, (Captain)? You people are softies. At least hurry up so we don't waste any more time.
Vyrn: Ah! Hey! Wait for us, Volenna! Wow... She's as cold as ice sometimes.

What Can I Do for You?: Scene 2

(Captain) and company start searching for the girl's ribbon. However, Volenna says they shouldn't spoil her by looking, especially since she lost her mother and needs to be strong.



Katalina: Hmm... The girl must have taken this path when she fled.
Volenna: But wasn't the attack a few days ago? Her ribbon could have been torn to shreds by now.
Lyria: But it's so important to her...
Volenna: You can't just go around helping everybody. You'll cause more harm than good like that.
Katalina: What? Why don't you quit saying things to push others away?
Volenna: If you spoil her, she'll only become more dependent on you. And she's the one who will suffer for that later.
Volenna: Her mother's dead, which is one more reason she needs to be strong. By carelessly helping her, you only hurt her.
Lyria: Ha-ha...
Volenna: What are you giggling about?
Lyria: Nothing... I'm just happy that you want to help her, even if we have different ideas about how to do that.
Volenna: Humph, that's enough of your abstract musing. Anyway, don't just look for the ribbon—watch your surroundings too! Monsters are coming.
Katalina: She always acts like she's so hard... All right, (Captain). Let's beat down those monsters and find that ribbon!

What Can I Do for You?: Scene 3

The crew hurries to the girl after finding the ribbon. She's disappointed to see how tattered it is, but Volenna tells her that it can be mended, showing her a bit of tough love.



Katalina: I found it! This must be the ribbon she was talking about!
Volenna: Good. Now let's get back to town before night falls.
Lyria: Yeah, let's get the ribbon back to her right away!
Lyria: Here's your ribbon. It's a bit tattered, but we found it!
Girl: Thank you! But it never would have gotten so dirty or frayed if I had hung onto it...
Volenna: That damage is proof of your weakness.
Girl: Yes... I know.
Volenna: Become stronger to protect what you love. I know you can do that.
Volenna: And don't cry. Dirt can be washed off and frays can be mended. It's a simple fix. Mistakes can always be fixed.
Girl: But my mom is gone... Who'll teach me to sew?
Volenna: You're worried about that? I'll teach you. If you want to learn, that is.
Girl: Huh? Really?
Volenna: Hurry up. I hate wasting time.
Girl: Thank you, miss! I'll do my best to learn how to sew!
Katalina: After all that tough talk, you're a big softie yourself.
Volenna: I obviously caught it from you.
Volenna: But it doesn't feel half-bad.
Lyria: Ah! I want to learn how to sew too!
Katalina: Do you? That's admirable of you, Lyria. Maybe I should take lessons from Volenna too.
Volenna: Really, Katalina... You don't even know how to sew? Then don't insert yourself here.
Girl: Ha-ha! You two are such good friends.
Volenna: And what in the world makes you say that?
Lyria: Don't worry about her! We're all good friends!
Volenna is strict on herself and others but only because she cares so deeply for her allies.
There will likely be others who will come to like her for her strength and kindness.
