Unit suggestion: L'Arachel

Everyone's been wanting her, so I'm trying to make this draft. She has two options, as a blue cavalry mage or a colorless cavalry staff. If blue, she would have Ivaldi; otherwise, Latona. Since she's from Rausten, she would have either relic.

If blue cavalry mage:

Weapon: Ivaldi/14 Mt - Grants Def+5. If unit is attacked by foe using sword, axe, or lance, damage received by first attack reduced by 50%.
Special: Growing Light
B: Rausten's Blessing - If unit is attacked by foe adjacent to unit, damage received by second attack reduced by 80%.
C: Goad Cavalry - or any cavalry buff

I couldn't think of any other effects. But I wanted to do something creative. Let's make her immune to being one-rounded by physical brave attacks.

If colorless:

Weapon: Latona/12 Mt - Enemy cannot counterattack. Enemies in cardinal directions with 1 Res lower than this unit are inflicted with a status preventing them from counterattacking through foe's next action.
Assist: Physic/Physic+
Special: Heavenly Light

This would be more convincing. We could have our first personal staff in the game (that's usable, since we have Loki), so I decided to give a similar effect. Compared to Loki's "Gravity Ploy", I gave this "Candlelight Ploy" that checks Res.

Stats (for either idea) : 35/31/32/20/32 - 150 - Inflated BST

I don't know really. I'm not good at this haha. Thoughts?

I agree the first suggestion is a bit bland, we need more dynamic healers after the power boost.

I created a whole 8 characters for a Fates-focused month:
Two Banners:
Parents of Fate (wouldn't that be cool!): Arete, Mikoto, and Sumeragi
Children of Fate: Kana, Selkie, Velouria
GHB: Garon
TT Reward: Flora (as the 'babysitter' kinda, mostly b/c I love Flora lol)

Wow, I'm not the only one who thinks Garon would make for a Grand Hero Battle. XD

Thank goodness Heroes has the whole "pluck characters from certain times" and can help with character development, which I think Garon can seriously make use of.

Also we really need beast units from Tellius(Lethe and Tibarn), Awakening(Panne, obviously), and both parents and children from Fates.

The biggest concern I have is on you suggestion for an Ivaldi build. Having Ivaldi grant an effect similar to Divine Tyrfing as well as giving her an inherent Deflect Melee seems a bit too overpowered to me. Especially because that essentially opens her up for a Close Defense A and S slot, essentially making her immune to melee damage. In a case like this, I'd say to move Rausten's Blessing from the Ivaldi suggestion over to Latona. That would balance out the damage modifiers a bit more in my opinion.
