Captain Racte

Avast ye scurvy dogs! Listen well and heed my words: take care ye be the best of pirates this day, else Cap'n Racte will drill you three new holes with her fearsome trident!

Aye, and a Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day to all ye lubbers out there in the wild Internet Sea.

<sub>Full disclosure: Racte ("Rock-TEE") is a character I made up to round out Fire Emblem's Blue-haired Badass Lord Trio. See, you've got Hector (FE 7) who's badass, blue haired, and uses axes; Ike (FE 9 and 10) who's badass, blue haired, and uses swords… but there is no badass, blue haired lord who specializes in lances (Sigurd and Celice don't count; they only got lances after promotion!). So here's Racte; she's the blue haired, badass lord of an imaginary Fire Emblem game I've made up (let's call it FE X) — and she specializes in lances. She is also, and I dare say you've noticed this already, female. Because… damn, as far as I'm concerned other female lords are okay, but they just don't compare to the likes of Hector and Ike, and I wanted to remedy this situation.

Anyway, here she is in her Second Tier promotion, Captain, a class that specializes in lances but can also use swords. Oh, and they can cross water too. Throw candy if you want to see more of her.</sub>
