Ovelia Atkascha

Princess Ovelia is a major character in Final Fantasy Tactics.

Kidnapping and Rescue
Because she is key to Prince Goltana's plans to become Regent of Ivalice, she is taken to Orbonne Monastery for protection. There, she is guarded by her bodyguard Agrias Oaks, who hires the mercenary Gaff Gafgarion to help protect her. Ramza Beoulve, as part of Gafgarion's mercenary group is also assigned to protect her. However, the monastery is attacked by Hokuten knights, disguised as Nanten so as to place the blame on Goltana, when in fact his rival Prince Larg and his assistant Dycedarg are to blame. While Ramza and his friends rush outside to deal with the fake Nanten, Delita Hyral, a real Nanten working as a spy within the Hokuten, enters the monastery through a back door and kidnaps the princess.

Delita begins to take her east toward the Bethla Garrison, but runs into trouble at Zirekile Falls. Just then, Ramza, Agrias, and Gafgarion catch up to Delita and Ovelia. Gafgarion suddenly betrays Agrias, since he was actually hired by Dycedarg to dispose of Ovelia, as her existence is preventing Larg from becoming regent. However, Delita has taken a liking to Ovelia and fights back to protect her, even allowing her to fight as well. Ramza remains true, and Gafgarion and the attacking knights are both defeated. Delita then voluntarily allows Ramza to take Ovelia with her.

Trouble with Glabados
Ramza and Agrias then escort Ovelia to Lionel Castle where she is left with Cardinal Draclau. This proves to be a mistake, as Draclau has his own ill intentions. Ovelia and Agrias are both taken prisoner, but Agrias later escapes and rejoins Ramza. Delita, who has also infiltrated the Murond Glabados Church later arrives, as does Vormav Tingel, leader of the Temple Knights. Vormav and Draclau interrogate Ovelia, and they claim that she is not actually the Princess, but that the real Ovelia died, and she, being a relative, was given Ovelia's identity. Whether or not this is actually true is never determined in the game.

Delita, however, takes Ovelia away from Lionel Castle and delivers her to Goltana. Goltana places her on the throne so he can be her Regent. Because Larg attempted to enthrone one of her relatives, the Lion War breaks out.

Marriage to Delita and Death
Following the assassination of Goltana by Delita at the Battle of Bethla Garrison, Delita consolidates his power among the Nanten. He stages the death of Cidolfas Orlandu, but allows him to live so he can help Ramza destroy the Lucavi. Eventually, Delita and Ovelia marry, but Ovelia is a troubled woman. One day, Delita brings her flowers to cheer her up, but she draws a dagger and stabs him. With the last of his strength, Delita retaliates by killing Ovelia with his sword.
