Sweet christ, Thany hit that 30% growth an awful lot. :stare: I wished mine turned out that well even half the time.

E: +3 HP, +4.5 Strength, -2 Skill, +1 Def, +1.5 Res

E2: If the patch nerfed her base speed by 2, she's also +2 Speed

Officially (as of Awakening) it's Shanna, but it was Thany for years because FE6 was never translated.

Sophia is quite possibly the worst unit in Fire Emblem history. At least Fiona is useful due to her good growths if you bother to grind her forever, Sophia is just a straight liability in every instance she is deployed and made redundant by Ray and Niime existing.

She's not nearly that bad. I used her on hard mode and she turned out fine and didn't make anything too difficult.

There are a lot of really bad translated names for legacy characters in Awakening and they really shouldn't be considered 'canon' any more than the now deprecated names used in Smash Bros.

"Thany" is total nonsense but so is "Shanna" so it's not like I have a dog in this fight.

Yeah, Sophia is usable once she gets trained up and promoted. It's the "once she gets trained up" part that's a pain, although you can cheese it with Supports+Arena Abuse.

Now Wendy is almost impossible to train even with Supports+Arena Abuse, although I did somehow get her trained up in a Bors/Barth/Wendy run I did.

Thite (ティト Tito), and "Tate" in the fan translation.

I've never played FE6 but Thany sounds cooler than Shanna even if Shanna is a real name. Not a bid deal though.

Cecilia has a horse and can use Physic staves out of the gate. That alone makes her better than Sophia and quite a few other of the "worst FE character ever" candidates.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
Yeah I basically left Thito as Tate even though it's wrong because.... Tate is a name. I mean Tito is also a name but it's a males name. EDIT: Apparently Tate is also a boys name...

Thany is actually way more correct than Shanna as well, It's more like... Shany But that's also not a name.

Speaking of weird names, it's finally dawned on me that they left Caeda's name as Shiida in Awakening's spotpass team... at least in the EU version. This would be less weird if Shadow Dragon had not called her Caeda.

Also Caeda is meant to be pronounced Sheeda still, but gently caress that I pronounce it Kay-da because if they didn't want me to use the A sound they shouldn't have put an A in there.

but yeah, Shanna is a real name, found in Celtic and Hebrew.

This one gets my goat to this day. They translated it correctly when they released the anime but not when they released the games, and then just stuck with it. God drat.

After finding out that David and Heboba from Shining Force 3 are direct references to a musical group from the 70s (complete with a faithful reproduction of the original David's hairstyle), I wouldn't be surprised.

I don't really have a problem with localizations/translations changing names to be real but that's not what happened here. What happened here is that ティト and テイト look almost identical in FE6's font and the translators just plain screwed up on which one her name is. Tate, Thite, and Tito are all lovely names though so I hope if FE6 ever gets remade and properly localized she just gets the Cordelia treatment and has her name changed to something completely unrelated.
