"Another Edy legend is born!"

—Edy Nelson, Valkyria Chronicles 3

Edy Nelson (イーディ・ネルソン, Īdi Neruson^?) is a seventeen year old Squad 7 shocktrooper. She is a popular character in Japan and the east for her pig-tails and tsundere personality, so much so that she received her own downloadable content called Edy’s Mission: Enter the Edy Detachment. She is voiced by Yui Kano in the Japanese version and Megan Hollingshead in the English version.

Her younger sister, Anisette Nelson, also appears as a shocktrooper from Class G in Valkyria Chronicles 2.

Edy appears as a member of Squad 7 in the Valkyria Chronicles anime and Valkyria Chronicles 3; and as a non-canon playable character in Valkyria Chronicles 2.

Profile

Valkyria Chronicles

As a self-proclaimed actress growing up in a tiny rural town, she was quite the starlet.

Though proud, she lacks coping skills. unable to forgive anyone who draws the public's eye away from her, she feels a strong (and one sided) sense of rivalry against Rosie, the squad's top trooper.

Upon hearing of Rosie's success singing, she tried to become an even bigger star, only to find she was tone-deaf. She is now training to become a real actress.

Valkyria Chronicles 2

In Valkyria Chronicles 2, it was revealed that she is Anisette Nelson's sister, and also her role model. Edy comes to the Lanseal campus to watch Anisette dance with Avan in a concert. Although she can be very arrogant at times, she still is a kind person at heart.

While still in Lanseal, Edy also visits Welkin and Alicia, commenting on how she and Alicia used to vie for the role of Squad 7's idol and mentioning how Alicia threw in the towel by marrying Welkin. She compliments Alicia on her new role as a wife, stating that it suits her. When asked about her love life, she casually mentions how no man can keep up with her, then making her exit by leaving the couple with a reminder that theirs is a relationship that must end in "happily ever after." After she leaves, Welkin mentions how Edy never speaks her mind, with Alicia thanking Edy for the sweet sentiment.

Expanded Biography

Edy is a country bumpkin, born and raised. Her "entourage" always kept her nose in the air with praise and adoration. Edy has a bit of a rebellious streak, and can't stand it when someone else gets more attention than her. After becoming a shocktrooper for the Gallian militia, Edy automatically dubs Rosie her"rival," since Rosie is clearly the best of the shocktroopers. Hoping to beat Rosie at something, Edy decides to become a professional singer, but that dream is quickly dashed when Edy finds out that she is a terrible singer. Currently, Edy is focused on her dream of becoming a famous actress. As a side note, Edy has a lot of difficulty dealing with unexpected situations.

Expanded Biography (VC3)

"An egocentric girl who is the self-proclaimed idol of Squad 7."

—VC3 COMPLETE ARTWORKS Description

Edy has been the center of attention ever since she was a little girl, which caused her to grow into a self-absorbed and often demanding individual with delusions of being a pop idol. Edy speaks with the distinct speech pattern of high nobility, though she is not a noble by birth. Believing herself to be the biggest and most deserving star around, she very quickly becomes upset if someone else is receiving more attention than she. Edy considers Rosie a professional rival due to the latter girl's history as a singer, but these feelings of rivalry are not even remotely mutual. When Edy and a few other members of Squad 7 were separated from the main group during a mission, Edy quickly named "her" splinter group the "Edy Detachment" and used her natural resourcefulness to valiantly lead them to victory.

After the Gallian Campaign, Edy attempted to make a name for herself as a singer and dancer. She (eventually) realized that she is tone-deaf and decided to settle for being an actress. Her goal is to become "a celebrity of the people", and she works hard every day to achieve that goal.

Involvement

She proved to be one of the most popular characters in the game so the development staff turned her and Homer into the official spokesmen for the Valkyria Chronicles franchise on the "Front Line Journal" blog.

She is also the star of "Edy’s Mission: Enter the Edy Detachment" where she, Homer Peron, Susie Evans, Lynn, Jann Walker and Marina Wulfstan defend a small village from a large group of Imperial invaders.

Edy later went on to star in another set of DLC missions titled Challenges of the Edy Detachment.

Trivia

Edy's singing in the DLC, Enter the Edy Detachment!

• Edy quickly became one of the most popular female characters amongst fans, due to this she received her own figurine. She joined the original gashapon figure set of Alicia, Isara, Eleanor and Rosie alongside new releases Lynn, Selvaria, and Jane Turner.
• Despite her popularity Edy is one of the worst shocktroopers in Valkyria Chronicles. Her Panicky potential alone is enough to infuriate players as the potential will almost always activate when advancing underfire - a role shocktoopers usually excel at.
• She was later chosen to appear in the Valkyria Chronicles "Bikini" gashapon figures set, featuring fan favourites from Valkyria Chronicles posing in bikinis and beachware.
• Edy stars in and lends her name to two sets of downloadable content missions titled Challenges of the Edy Detachment and Edy’s Mission: Enter the Edy Detachment in which she commands a group of her Squad 7 comrades against Imperial forces.
• Edy both cameos in the Valkyria Chronicles 2 story and is available as a character in the hidden "Edy Detachment" bonus squad. Entering the code CR6BG1A9LYQKB6WJ (NA/EU) or TKBHCNBERHRKJNFG (JP) will recruit the squad to your roster in game.
