Schirach (シェラハ Sherah?), also known as Schiele (シェリル Sheryl?), is a non-playable character from Romancing SaGa and its remake, Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song. She is the second oldest of the three Gods of Evil. It is also hinted that she may be the most powerful of the three.
She is voiced in Japanese by Junko Minagawa in the remake.
Profile[edit]
Appearance[edit]
In her most recognisable form, Schirach has absurdly long hair, which is tied into a ponytail, with two more ponytails on the front of her head. This might be a hint torwards her creation. She wears a red cloak ontop of her pure black tunic. She does not have any footwear.
In Minstrel Song, her Schiele form has a noticeably larger red cloak, which is more of a hood or a tunic in that regard, while also sporting a red hat with an emblem, black pants and red shoes; clothing matching one hailing from the Kjaraht region of Mardias.
Personality[edit]
Schirach's personality is marked by an imposing sense of superiority and detachment. She views darkness as an uncontrollable, ultimate force and believes that anyone who dares to interfere with it will inevitably be consumed. Cold and isolated, she warns those who approach her that they will bring tragedy upon themselves, reinforcing her self-image as a bringer of misfortune. Schirach sees the inevitable spread of darkness as both her destiny and her domain, one that even the God of Light, Elore, would struggle to resist. Her confidence in her power, combined with her chilling indifference to the fate of others, portrays her as a being resigned to her role as the ruler of darkness and an enforcer of despair.
In her Schiele form, Schirach is a very melancholic person, due to her losing everyone she knows and loves in some way.
Story[edit]
Minstrel Song[edit]
After the battle of the Gods, Schirach and Elore met. Her powers were so great that if left unchecked, she would bring ruin to the world. It is said that her power of darkness rivaled Elore's power of light. Both the Red and Silver Moons were created to weaken her. It was afterwards that Elore and Schirach made a deal; she was given a Fatestone, the Diamond of Light. When her power of darkness met Elore's power of light, they cancelled each other out, thus rendering her harmless. It was then that she was turned into a mortal girl named Schiele. Thus, she traveled the world as Schiele under the watchful eye of Elore.
Schiele has a tragic past, and everyone she meets has an unfortunate death and is tormented by countless accidents that takes the lives of the people closest to her. She is filled with despair and fear of her own power throughout her life. As Schiele, she has only known sadness. In the quest to gather the Fatestones, Scorn attacks Schiele while she shares a tale of the passing of someone she held dear with the Heroes. The lead will fight against Scorn to protect her. Win or lose, she will forcibly take the ring off in exchange for the safety of the lead character. This causes her to reawaken as Schirach. Now returned to her old self, she fears the the world will be engulfed by her darkness. She asks the Heroes to defeat her and put her back to sleep. With her defeat, she returns to being a mortal and falls into a deep slumber.
Gameplay[edit]
Ultimate Boss[edit]
In the Wonderswan Color remake, the method to fight her is alot less complicated, as she is sitting in the bar with the option to fight her at any point. While no translation has been located so far, it seems like Schiele offers the option to take off the Diamond ring, doing so resulting in a boss fight.

In Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song, Schirach is one of the strongest opponents in the game. Both her CHA and INT stats are 99 and her techniques can inflict status ailments. Hymn of the Night Wind inflicts Phobia, Black Book inflicts Sleep, and Dark Temptation inflicts Charm and can take HP/LP from the Target. She can also inflict instant death with Abyss.

- Quotes
- I am a woman who brings misfortune... If you get involved with me, you will be struck by tragedy. Please, leave me alone.
- Can you make me obey you? My power rules over all darkness. If you fail, you will become the darkness yourself.
- Why do you disturb my darkness? This land, where nothing is visible and nothing is heard, is my resting place. Mortal, do not enter.
- Greater darkness will arrive, and the world will be enveloped in darkness. Despair in the darkness.
- Suppress the power of darkness with your own strength. Let the darkness obey my rule.
- Eventually, darkness will overflow into the world, and everything will be consumed by the darkness. In such a case, even Elore, the God of Light, would struggle.

Trivia[edit]
- Schirach never formally appears in the original SFC version of the game. Her portrait and backstory concerning the war with Elore is featured in the game intro and a sprite resembling her official artwork appears in Pubs but she never says anything. It's believed there was supposed to a be a quest involving her. Hacking the game data shows that she was meant to be a recruitable character and she does actually have a battle sprite with spell casting animations. Further evidence comes from Japanese websites that discovered she had the Diamond Fatestone, though her identity as the human incarnation of Schirach was unknown.
