Manga[]
Zelda appears in Yuma's flashback. In the banquet hall of the Eastern Inn, Miria holds a meeting with the battle group. She tells everyone to take a half dose of suppressant. If rendered unconscious during combat, a warrior will radiate no aura, making her appear dead to both the Northern Army and Organization.[18]
The Northern Army invades Pieta.[19] Zelda witnesses Rigaldo killing the team captains.[20]
Zelda last appears in the final combat scene, surrounded by Northern Army.[21]
Zelda is presumably dead by Scene 66, though not mentioned by name, nor shown by her sword as grave-mark.
