Paola is a Pegasus Knight from Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi. She is the older sister of Catria and Est, and raised them after their parents died. Loyal to Princess Minerva of Medon, she was part of the Whitewings, a elite Pegasus squad from Medon. The Whitewings wanted to join the Altean army alongside Minerva, but when Prince Michalis heard this, he locked his and Minerva's younger sister Maria, in jail to prevent Minerva and the sisters from turning on him. When Marth eventually rescued Maria, Paola and her sister Catria set off to look for Marth and Minerva. When they found them, they joined the Altean army. During the war Paola developed a crush on Abel. In Fire Emblem Gaiden, Paola and Catria journeyed to Sofia in search of the kidnapped Est, eventually joining with Cellica's army to help them save Est and to aid Cellica on her journey. In Fire Emblem: Monsh� no Nazo, a rebellion against Minerva's rule broke out in Medon and Paola was forced to flee, meeting up with Julian and learning that Lena and Maria were captured by Gharnef. She joined Marth's army in order to save Minerva and Maria. After the war she pushed aside her feelings for Abel and continued serving Medon.
