The title of this blog remains technically accurate due to gender.
With Seth still wounded from his encounter with Valter, Eirika engages the enemy, striking one of the axefighters. He gets finished on the enemy phase by her counterattack, then the second stepping out of the forest leaves him without enough defense to survive a round of combat.
Eirika takes over the forest and waits for O'Neill. Against the odds he lands a 25% chance, one more blow will kill the Princess of Renais.
It is important to me to finish in 3 turns, thus Eirika recklessly forgoes the chance to heal to damage O'Neill, who misses his lethal blow. Then misses again on the enemy phase, allowing Eirika to finish in style with an unnecessary critical I wish she'd gotten on turn two.
She gains HP, Strength, and Defense in the first level-up of the draft. Well, I could ask for more but Eirika usually lacks strength in my experience, so it's good.
3 turns.
