Background

A female mercenary who leads the 'Iron Spears'.

Born into a noble family with a tradition inherited from the stars, Herja was trained to fight by her father from a young age. She looked up to and respected her father greatly, but he didn't act much like a father around her. She states in her Birthday Fate Episode that whilst he was strict, he always smiled on Herja's Birthday.

When Herja's father died, a dispute caused the family to split up, and Herja left to lead the same mercenary band her father was forced into when he was young. Whilst the Iron Spears were close, and Herja refers to them as her 'family', she ultimately felt lonely during her time with them, isolated from both her family and forced to supress her romantic feelings.

Events

Trivia

• Although Herja's name is romanized as 'Herja', the hiragana are 'ヘリヤ', which is read as 'Heriya'. This suggests her name is of eastern European origins.
• She appears for a moment in Episode 13 of the Granblue Fantasy Anime.

Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	You're really fortunate to have so many friends celebrating with you. I know I was kind of awkward on your last birthday... I always end up remembering my father without fail. He was always stern and intimidating, but there was one day of the year where he would look at me with the love for his daughter. I'll never forget that face. That's why I couldn't bring myself to tell anyone about my birthday. But those guys... I don't know how they found out, but they surprised me with birthday wishes. Ahaha... Friends are truly wonderful, aren't they?
2	✔	(Captain), happy birthday! I'm so honored to be a part of your special day. This is the second time I've been able to share this day with you... It occurred to me that we are really alike. Both of us are on this journey to find our fathers. That make me feel more connected to you. This may sound odd, but when your birthday comes around, I wonder what your father is like. Because you're so dependable, I imagine your father to be someone just like you. Who knows when our journey will end, but I'm glad to have you by my side. I'm not sure if that came out right... I'm not very good with my words... Just know I'll always be there to support you.
3	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain). This is the third time I've had the honor to celebrate this special day with you. You've made such progress in the time I've known you, (Captain). You have a lot to be proud of. I'm sure your father would be over the moon to see how you've turned out. I don't know if the same could be said for me. What would that strict father of mine have to say if he saw me now? ... Thank you. Your kind words make it that much easier to believe in myself. I don't really know what my father will think when we meet... But there is one thing I'm certain of. I'll be proud to introduce you to him as my friends, (Captain). Until that day, and from there on out, let's stick together.
4	✔	A joyous birthday to you, (Captain). Since you always do so much for us, I... I'll do anything you'd like for the day. Sorry, I guess I'm a bit nervous. You're the first I've ever given such a daring present to... But there's no turning back now! I've made up my mind to follow your every whim for the day! Hngh!
5	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain). (Captain), you've definitely grown in the past year. Not just physically, but also mentally. I'll have to work hard to stay at your pace... As both the commander of the Iron Spears and a member of this crew. Because I want to be irreplaceable to you, (Captain)... And I don't mean that in a funny way, just as comrades striving toward the same goal... A-anyway... I hope we'll continue traveling together for a long time to come.

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain). But you know, having a calm start to the new year is a first for me. When my father was still healthy, he'd wake me up early for grueling morning drills. That was after I joined the Iron Spear Agents. It became our custom to sweat the entire New Year's day training. New-dawn drills we called them. Ahaha, so would you care to indulge me, (Captain)? Let's work up a good sweat with some new-dawn drills!
2	✔	(Captain), happy New Year This morning the crew and I prepared a traditional Iron Spear's New Year's dish called Osechi. Would you like to try some? I think it came out well. We believe this dish brings good luck. At the very least, I hope it will have a placebo effect. Please do have some. I wish nothing but the best for you, our leader. We made a lot, so feel free to take seconds!
3	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain). I'm deeply grateful we both made it safely through a year filled with so many dangerous assignments. Thanks to you and the crew, it's been a very fulfilling twelve months for me. I do have some regrets, however. I feel like my ceding to impure thoughts has caused trouble for all of you. So would you accompany me on my first shrine visit of the year? I want to go and pledge not to let my impure thoughts mislead me. That should strengthen my resolve to diamond hardness. Don't you think?
4	✔	Recent going-ons in life, an updated training menu... Hm, what else should I write down... Ah, (Captain). Happy New Year. Oh, this? I'm writing a New Year's greeting card to my Iron Spear agents. It's been a while since our last contact. They say no news is the best news, but I think it's still important to keep each other informed. Not to mention they tend to laze about when I'm not around, so this letter should serve as a reminder to keep their training up. Funny thing is... When I'm coaching them directly, they really get into it. All this talk about training has me itching for some action... All right, (Captain)! Can I ask you to spar with me to get me going?
5	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain). Are you free right now? Under normal circumstances, I'd ask that you accompany me for some training... But for today, I'd like you to just stand in front of me. You see, there's a kind of discipline to calm the mind that is a New Year's tradition on one island. I was attempting to do it on my own, but... Standing idly by myself wasn't doing much. That's why I'd like you to be here while I try to keep myself from training. It'll be more of a challenge that way, since I always want to cross swords whenever I see you. If I can manage to do this, then I know this'll be the year that I can overcome all my impure thoughts! Now come closer. All right, I've got this! Just watch me!

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy Valentine's Day, (Captain). I'm sorry these turned out so poorly, but it's the thought that counts. Hahaha... You may be young, but you're quite the smooth talker, (Captain). You don't have to flatter me. I've been an agent for a long time now, and I've come to terms with my weaknesses. Wait, you're not just saying that, are you? You actually think it tastes good? Cut that out! Don't toy with my feelings!
2	✔	(Captain), here's a good place to do this. I've prepared a Valentine's Day gift for you. Here you go. What? What do you mean, "Am I trying to say something?" It's just chocolate... I-I don't mean to imply anything romantic... It's not as if I don't have feelings for you, but... I-I must be perfectly clear... I'm not professing my l-lov— Absolutely not! Please stop looking at me like that! If you must know... Our relationship... is entirely dependent on how you feel... M-may I ask... exactly... how you do feel?
3	✔	So... May I ask you something? It's about Valentine's Day... Whenever I give you a gift, you happily accept it. But knowing you, I'm sure you receive Valentine's gifts from many people... How do you accept their gifts? Could it be mine are the only presents that evoke such pleasure in you? Ah—no! I'm sorry! Ignore everything I just said! My impure thoughts are showing! But how can I help it today? Everywhere I go, romance is all anyone is talking about!
4	✔	(Captain)! I made some chocolate. I was wondering if you'd like some. Huh? There's a cut on my hand? Ah, well.. It must've happened during training... Sigh... I guess there's no keeping secrets from you, (Captain). The truth is, I've been training very hard in the art of confectionery lately... I was so focused that I ended up with a minor injury. Because I love striving for perfection, I was trying to squeeze the best taste I could out of my chocolates. Focus also helps me brush aside more worldly thoughts... A-ahem! Anyway, these turned out great, so I hope you enjoy them!
5	✔	(Captain). Um... these Valentine's chocolates are for you. You notice how I have fewer cuts and bruises this year? That's because I trained hard in hopes of offering you a better present. And this year, I've worked on more than just my technique. Instead of brushing off my many frivolous thoughts as I usually do, this time... I've wrapped them all up in this box. Please accept my heartfelt feelings for you along with this chocolate, (Captain)!
Gift		White Chocolate Cake

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Oh, this is for White Day, huh? Sorry, that was a bit callous. Thank you very much, (Captain). Ahaha... I'm kind of awkward in these situations. It's just rare for me to get a gift from a guy. Do you think it's sad? No one among the Iron Spears thought of me in that way. It was all about training. As long as you performed, you were an equal in their eyes. Which isn't a bad way to think to be honest. But still, it's nice to get a gift every once in a while.
2	✔	... (It's (Captain)!) (That (Captain) came to me must mean...) (What should I do? I'm so indebted to (Captain) and I'm nothing more than a member of this team...) (I... I...) What? It's just a gift in return for what I gave you on Valentine's Day? You thought my gift was thoughtful and just wanted to repay me... Hahaha... Thank you. I accept your gesture. (Sigh... I-I let myself get carried away with frivolous thoughts again...) (How could I let myself think that... (Captain) felt that way about me...)
3	✔	(All right. Surely the fact that (Captain) called me here by name, on this day, is proof of special consideration?) (But... given what happened last year...) (I really want to ask how (Captain) feels, but if I've misunderstood, that would be—) Argh! Why won't (Captain) just tell me without me having to ask! Huh? (Captain)! Wh-when did you get here? You called me here to give me this, as thanks for my Valentine's gift? Ahahaha... Thank you... Of course, I'll gladly accept. (I still don't know the captain's true feelings. But... perhaps this is a step in the right direction.) (Next year... will definitely be the year!)
4	✔	(So White Day's finally come, huh...) (I failed to retain my composure last year, but today will be the chance to my show my elegance as a lady!) (Now to head to where the captain and I agreed to meet.) Hello, (Captain). Thank you for calling me tod— (Oh no! I didn't notice the step there!) Herja trips and falls in extravagant fashion, but (Captain) gracefully catches her before she lands. Oh, no, no, no! Choose: You okay? Y-yes! I'm fine! (What am I doing! This is so embarrassing!) (Oh, (Captain)'s arms are so warm and comforting... I could stay like this forever...) Phew... Ack, what am I doing! I shouldn't be relaxing! My goodness! I'm so sorry, (Captain), but can we please try this all over again?
5	✔	(Captain), sorry to keep you waiting. You said you wanted to talk? Um, is it about that White Day gift in your hands? Thank you! I'll be sure to savor every bite! (How odd... For once I'm able to accept (Captain)'s gift while remaining perfectly calm.) (Am I reaping the results of my training? No, that's not it...) (Rather, it's more that since we've known each for so long, I can accept this gift knowing that (Captain) cares about me...) Hehe... I'm getting this fuzzy feeling just thinking about it. What am I talking about? Oh, don't mind me. I'm just glad from the bottom of my heart to receive this gift from you.

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Hm, I'm not too fond of Halloween... Why, you ask? Isn't it obvious? People are given free reign to play cowardly tricks on each other. How can I possibly condone such behavior? We should fight all of our foes head on. Oh? Halloween is not a military drill? But then why would we have to get into a disguise and ambush unsuspecting targets? Agh! Looks like my agents pulled one over on their commander!
2	✔	Last year I didn't have very positive feelings about this day of celebration. But... I've realized that everyone—children and adults alike—truly enjoy the activities that happen on this day. I think I looked too deeply into the meaning of trick-or-treat and just overreacted. I was just raining on everyone's parade... I'm glad that didn't happen again. Last year you helped me understand the true meaning of Halloween. Thank you. Enough of that. Let's make the most of this wonderful day of the year!
3	✔	All right then, (Captain)! Are you ready? Trick or treat! How was that? Did I pull it off? Really? I'm relieved to hear you say that. It's all thanks to you drilling me. Wait, what do you mean, "this isn't a drill?" You don't have any candy? That means I have to prank you? I have to prank you? N-no! I could never! I mean, between the two of us, I'd much rather be on the receiving end!
4	✔	(Today's Halloween... I need to be careful of tricks while on the ship as well.) (Hehe... This reminds me of the constant tension I felt in my time as an agent.) (Hm? I sense something around the corner...) What's this? A giant pumpkin? Choose: Got you! Pfft! Hahaha! Stop that, my stomach's especially ticklish! Say, (Captain)... Eep! Ahahaha! M-my armpits can't handle it! Huff... Huff... No fair, (Captain)! You're supposed to say trick or treat before playing a prank on me! Hey, come back here! Wait!
5	✔	(Almost... Almost... Now!) Yah! Happy Halloween, (Captain)! Hahah, surprised? I got past every trick trap you set up on the way here. Studying your traps and attack patterns over the past year has really paid off. Disappointed in yourself? You'll just have to practice harder for next year. Huh? Trick or treat? I don't have any treats on me... Wait, you're asking me that knowing I wouldn't have any treats? Ngh, looks like it was me who needed more training... Okay, you win fair and square. You're free to play any trick you'd like on me!

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Heh heh. It sure is quiet tonight, (Captain). On a night like this, two people illuminated only by candlelight... It's the perfect setting for drills. Haha, I'm just kidding. I must thank you for letting me in your crew, (Captain). It's my fondest wish to spend another peaceful holiday evening like this with you. Next year, the year after, and so on. Have a wonderful evening.
2	✔	On certain islands, I hear this holy night is dedicated to... L-lovers... Have you ever... spent time with a lover on this holiest of nights? I... I'm sorry. Forgive me. I don't mean to be so prying. What am I thinking... You have my deepest apologies, (Captain). Please forget my question! Agh... I will never be able to live up to my father's legacy if I'm so busy worrying about such trite matters. Curses to these superfluous thoughts! Will I ever be free from pondering such silly things? I'm sorry, (Captain). I need to clear my mind of such thoughts. To do so, I will be going for a run!
3	✔	Um... (Captain)? Forgive me for asking this out of the blue, but... Do you have any plans today? Really? Great! Then let's spend the day together! I keep thinking about the tradition of spending this day with the person you love... Someday I might be in a position to do that... So I have to prepare! Ah, wait, no! I shouldn't burden you with such a selfish request! Agh... My impure thoughts have gotten the better of me once again! (Captain), I've changed my mind! I want you to spend today training with me! We'll train until my mind is as pure as the driven snow!
4	✔	(Captain)... Should you really be out here during the holiday party? Hm? You saw me come out and chased after me? Haha. Thanks for caring, (Captain). I had such a good time with all the fun and drinks that my body started heating up. Thought I'd come out for some fresh air. I've always kept up my training during the holidays even though I gave my agents time off. I was too obsessed with getting stronger to know how to take it easy and enjoy myself at such occasions. Haha, how I've changed ever since meeting you, (Captain). I... hope you'll take responsibility. Oh, just kidding. I guess being in such a good mood makes me more glib. A bit strange perhaps, given how chilly I'm feeling. Say, why don't we go back inside and hang out there? We'll make this a night to remember!
5	✔	(Captain), happy holidays. How are the party preparations going on your side? So the room decorations aren't hung up yet. I'll bolster our efforts in that area then. I actually just finished pruning the tree over here. It was a more enjoyable activity than I expected. Slicing off the branches and arranging them into a pleasing shape... It made for good swordsmanship training, so I ended up getting quite into it. Haha, I know the banquet is supposed to be the main source of entertainment... But training is equally as entertaining to me. I like to think of it as a bonus, in addition to being able to contribute to a wonderful holy night for you. Now let's get to that decorating. Just a little bit more, and we'll be set for a fun evening!

The Agents' Head Honcho

The crew lands on a remote island and meets Herja, commander of the Iron Spear agents. She was once part of a noble family at the height of its glory, and she sets out on a journey in hopes of reuniting with them.

---

It's said that there's an island where each generation of the governing family passes down a legend about primal crystals.

The crew hears of this island and follows the rumors, only to arrive to a less than friendly welcome.

Iron Spear Agent 1: Hey! Hold it right there!

Vyrn: Wha?
Oh man, these guys look like trouble.

Vyrn: Woah! Whaddya think you're doing! That thing's sharp!

Iron Spear Agent 1: Why, you... Hold still, criminal! Don't you dare resist!

Vyrn: You call this resisting? We're not—

Iron Spear Agent 2: Listen here! Nobody's getting past the Iron Spear, especially not some lizard!

Vyrn: Hey! I ain't no lizard!

Herja: This is quite the spectacle. What's going on here?

Iron Spear Agent 2: Ah! Commander Herja! We found these bandits trying to break into town!

Herja: Take a good look at them. Notice their well-maintained equipment and extraordinary magical aura?

Herja: If they really wanted to break in, we wouldn't be able to do much about it.

Iron Spear Agent 2: !

Vyrn: Heh, you're pretty sharp, Sis!

Herja: Dear travelers, please forgive my subordinates for their rudeness. I am Herja, commander of the Iron Spear.

Herja: We rarely get visitors on our remote island. What brings you here?

Lyria: Oh! Um, we heard that there might be a family here that knows a lot about primal crystals.

Herja: ...!

Vyrn: Wait, do you know something about that, Sis?

Herja: I believe the family you seek is none other than my own. However...

Herja wears an expression of sorrow as she begins to speak.

Herja's family was a noble one, once unrivaled in its glory.

But when Herja's father died, the lack of leadership resulted in a bloody dispute over the inheritance. When the dust finally settled, the family scattered to the winds.

Herja: I was driven out at a young age, left with nothing but my father's lessons in the sword.

Herja: As for the legend about primal crystals, I have no idea where the primal crystals could be, let alone if anyone still knows the legend itself.

Lyria: Oh...

Herja: I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Vyrn: So... you've been on your own ever since?

Herja: There's no need to look so glum. In time, I found a new family: my agents.

Iron Spear Agent 1: C-Commander Herja!

Iron Spear Agent 2: Yes, it's as the commander says. Which is why, as her family, we have something to say.

Iron Spear Agent 2: Ahem. Commander, you want to see your real family again, don't you?

Herja: I... well...

Lyria: I have an idea! Maybe if you join us while we look for stuff about primal crystals, you might run into your family too.

Lyria: I know I'd feel much better having you around! How about it?

Lyria: And, well, you're not the only one who's searching for someone.

Lyria: Right, (Captain)?

1. Lend us your strength.
2. We'll find our families. Together.

Choose: Lend us your strength.

Herja: Strength... the swordsmanship I learned from my father...

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: We'll find our families. Together.

Herja: I see... So your family is missing as well...

Continue 1

Herja: In that case, I'd be honored to join you!

Vyrn: Awesome! That's what we like to hear! Grab whatever you need, and let's go!

Herja: Right away!

Iron Spear Agent 1: By the way, travelers. I forgot to warn you, but Commander Herja has a bit of an obsession with training...

Herja: Thank you for waiting!

Vyrn: Woah! That's a lot of stuff.

Herja: It's just a few practice swords, training dummies and weighted armor.

Herja: My father taught me that you have to train every day if you want to be strong. You'll be joining me, of course?

Vyrn: Haha... (I'll leave the sparring to you, (Captain)...)

Herja's family-in-arms sees her off as she sails into the sky with her new friends.

Driven by her sword filled with memories, she dreams of one day reuniting with her family on some island she has not yet seen.

Back to top

The Soft-Hearted Swordswoman

Herja acts as a mediator for some agents arguing in town and discovers that they are her former subordinates. With the agents' repeated failures in quelling the monster threat, (Captain) and company agree to help when said monsters suddenly appear.

---

(Captain) and company take a moment from their journey to head to an island where monsters have started appearing close to a peaceful little town.

Vyrn: Hey, there're supposed to be monsters popping up around here, right? Isn't it kinda quiet?

Rackam: Not really. I mean, monsters aside, there are obviously some shady characters here! Look at the town square.

Herja: It seems like an argument with some hired agents. I'm guessing they're here to hunt the monsters around town.

Vyrn: Oh? How'd you know they were agents? I thought they were just a bunch of hooligans fighting!

Herja: Well, I used to be an agent too.
They seem to be fighting amongst themselves, however.

Herja: These full-grown adults should be ashamed of themselves for being a public nuisance!

Rackam: Sure, but that's their problem! It's best to not get involved... Hey, Herja!

Rackam: There she goes. We have to stop her, (Captain)!

Herja: You lot! Enough with the arguing. You're causing trouble for the townsfolk.

Iron Spear Agent: What? Mind your own business!
Wait, C-Commander Herja? Ma'am!

Herja: Oh! It's you guys. Why are you all fighting here?

Iron Spear Agent: Well, we were hired to hunt some monsters, but it's been a complete disaster and now everyone's on edge.

Rackam: Say, (Captain). Just who is this woman? She managed to reign all those thugs in.

Vyrn: Um... Herja used to be an agent, and before that she was a noble I think.

Rackam: You serious? A former aristocrat on top of being a former agent? I guess there are all kinds of people out there.

Herja: I found out that they're arguing over why the monster hunting isn't going well.

Herja: I'm sorry to ask you this, (Captain), but would you please help them hunt the monsters?

Vyrn: Not a problem! (Captain) would never abandon your former buddies, Herja!

Herja: Thank you. Let's start with finding where the monsters are coming from.

Rackam: Looks like that won't be necessary. The monsters are coming right to us!

Iron Spear Agent: No way... The fiends got to the center of the city already! These monsters are insanely strong!

Herja: Everything will be fine. Just leave the monsters to (Captain). You people focus on helping the townsfolk.

The Soft-Hearted Swordswoman: Scene 2

With the monsters in town taken care of, the next order of business is removing their nest in the forest. (Captain) and company find the monsters nesting in a rocky area and make a preemptive attack.

---

Herja: Still, if you can't even defeat monsters of that caliber, I assume you've been slacking off on your daily training.

Iron Spear Agent: Well, ever since you left us, we just don't feel motivated, ma'am.

Herja: That's unacceptable! It's good that we ran into you, because I'm going to whip you all into shape immediately!

Iron Spear Agent: Woohoo! We get to be brutally trained by Commander Herja again! I'm so happy I could cry!

Rackam: What's going on over there? They sound awfully excited to get beat down by Herja.

Rackam: Well, anyways. (Captain), the monsters we're up against live in the forest. If we don't cut them off at the source, they'll just come back.

Vyrn: Yeah. We're already wrapped up in this, so we might as well stamp out the monster's nest!

Vyrn: Sis! You think you can stop playing with those guys for now so we can go find the monster's nest?

Herja: Men, that's enough for today. No slacking off on your training from now on.

Iron Spear Agent: Yeah! Yes, ma'am!

Vyrn: There's something seriously wrong with those guys...
Anyways, let's hurry to the forest, (Captain)!

Herja: Looks like that rocky area is the monsters' nest. I sense a lot more of them around there.

Vyrn: Uh-oh... This is looking a lot more dangerous than I thought it would be. You ready for this, (Captain)?

Herja: I'm quite sure (Captain) hasn't skipped training at all, so I'm not the least bit worried.

Vyrn: Haha! What're you looking all embarrassed for, (Captain)?

Rackam: Crap... Just so you know, I keep up with my training too! I'm serious! So I don't need any extra tough training or anything.

Herja: Haha, I'm not doubting you. I fully trust everyone in this crew.

Rackam: Y-yeah! (I better actually start training...)

Vyrn: Haha! You should probably get trained by Herja at least once, Rackam! It'd be pretty interestin'.

Vyrn: Uh-oh, looks like the monsters spotted us. Let's get 'em first!

The Soft-Hearted Swordswoman: Scene 3

The crew returns to town after destroying the monsters' nest. There, Rackam compliments Herja on how respected she is by her agents. She overreacts, nearly falling for him, and reveals that there's more to her than just military prowess.

Vyrn: And that's that! The monsters won't be botherin' the town anymore.

Herja: I thank you, (Captain). I'm sure the men have learned their lesson and will work harder on their regular training from now on.

Iron Spear Agent: You were a huge help. I don't know how we can ever thank you guys. We'll never forget this!

Iron Spear Agent: To tell the truth, we were kind of worried about the captain... but if she's with you guys, then we've got nothing to worry about!

Herja: What, you're telling me I've actually made you guys worry?

Iron Spear Agent: Well, of course we worry about you. We're family after all, no matter how far away you are.

Herja: Now that you mention it, I guess so. I feel the same.

Rackam: Wow! She's strong, loved by her subordinates and always gives everything her all.

Rackam: We're pretty lucky to have such a fine woman on our side, right, (Captain)?

Herja: A f-fine woman? Rackam! Not in public! How do you expect me to react when you show your feelings like that?

Herja: But, you know, I guess I'm glad you feel that way, because, well, I've been feeling the same, and...

Vyrn: Hmm? Something's wrong with Herja! What happened?

Herja: No... Having these impure thoughts will only weaken my swordsmanship!

Herja: Rackam... I'm sorry, but abandon this hopeless love and know that this decision pains me as well! I-I'll be returning to the ship now!

Rackam: Huh? What? She... what?

Iron Spear Agent: Uh-oh... There she goes again! She falls for people just a tad too easily.

Iron Spear Agent: But it's fine! Once she gets into her training and starts swinging her sword, she forgets about love in no time!

Rackam: T-that's good! I mean, it's not like I took her seriously or anything! Really!

(Captain) and company are seen off by the agents and return to Herja. They find her swinging her sword, trying to rid herself of impure thoughts.

Her love temporarily forgotten, she reverts to normal.

Of course, she'll fall in love again in the next town, but that's a tale for another time.
