Almedha (アムリタ, Amurita?) is Ashnard's former concubine and, allegedly, Pelleas's mother. She herself is the daughter of Dheginsea, King of Dragons. For consorting with a beorc, she lost her laguz abilities shortly after giving birth to her Branded son. Ashnard had hoped that a half-Dragon child would possess some kind of special power; when he learned that it did not, he used both Almedha and his son's lives as bait to lure Rajaion, the Dragon Prince and Almedha's brother, to Daein.

[edit] Personality

Almedha is an extremely overprotective, aloof, and overbearing woman: she claims at one point that she would rather have all the people of Daein die than lose her son again. Soren shares these traits, such as being over-emotional when he reveals his past to Ike. She doesn't seem to like Micaiah even in her attempts to help Daein in reconstruction after helping Prince Pelleas claim throne to Daein from its ruler.

[edit] Role in Game

During Pelleas' short-lived reign, Almedha all but forces him to follow her elitist advice. Having witnessed Ashnard's use of the blood pact to attain power, she instantly recognises the Mark of the Pact that manifests itself on Pelleas' arm. Nevertheless, she remains silent, terrified that, should she mention the means of breaking the pact, Micaiah would kill her son. Her worst fears are realised when Pelleas independently learns the way of ending the pact's power over Daein: he orders Micaiah to end his life. In the Epilogue, if certain criteria are fulfilled, Almedha and her other brother Kurthnaga discover that Soren, and not Pelleas, is her true son.
