アティ || Commission
Aty was born in a very poor village in the Empire, where many of its people were killed due to frequent bandit attacks. Aty joined the army so she could find the power to protect them. She was very talented and was trusted to take care of important missions, however she was too naïve. She was assigned to watch a spy from the Old Kingdom who was captured by her division, but Aty let the man go free because she felt compassion for him. Consequently a noble of the Martini family was taken hostage by the same spy. Being responsible for the incident, Aty volunteered to go on a very dangerous rescue mission all alone. She almost died, but still she managed to rescue the noble. After this event, Aty was treated as a heroine in the army, though behind closed doors the higher-ups knew she was at fault for everything. They never forced Aty to resign because she did it herself first. Many people didn’t know the truth, and even those who knew of what happened didn’t accept her decision, including Azlier.
