History Characters / FireEmblemElibeSwordOfSeals

* ImpliedLoveInterest: To Roy, they're all but stated to be the OfficialCouple; they have ShipTease moments even outside of support conversations (mostly Lilina making it blatantly obvious that she has feelings for him with Roy [[ObliviousToLove just not catching on]]), their support chain is one of the fastest in any game and getting them to A-rank alters the ending, and one of the CG images in the music player depicts their first meeting as children. This even got two nods in ''Blazing Sword'', one in Eliwood and Hector's B-support, which has him dreaming of his not-yet-born daughter playing with an unborn Roy in the future, and him getting supremely annoyed at the possibility that he may lose his daughter to Eliwood's son, and the other in the epilogue, which shows the above-mentioned first encounter in cutscene form. Furthermore, [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ck-qvvEWEAAk55F.jpg:large an attention-grabbing card]] was made for the official ''Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher)'' card game.

* TheStoic: The man's nigh unfazeable. "Nigh" because Bern and Clarine exist.

* BlondGuysAreEvil: Subverted. He and his sister are some of the only blondes found outside of Etruria, due in part to their mother being from Etrurian nobility. He's the only one that's evil.

* ActionGirl: Of the BlackMagicianGirl kind.

* TookALevelInBadass: We find Lilina locked in a room of her own castle, and Roy's crew have to bail her out to recruit her. After joining the party (as soon as she's freed!), and even moreso after being promoted, she then proceeds to kick many an ass, and is one of the best magic users in the game.

%%* ActionGirl

* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's actually a pretty good, competent priest who knows what is good and what is so unforgivable that only death will suffice (the latter's example is Oro), but in the same time, he's also a shameless flirt who'd mix up clergy preaches with hitting on women. His superior (Yodel) saw through that and entrusts him with dangerous, serious missions. Saul completes all his missions properly, while still hitting on women (without success).

* SugarAndIcePersonality

* BadassBeard: It's a narrow

The daughter of Bartre and Karla, she is travelling the world to hone her skills, much like her mother.

* SkilledButNaive: She easily believes the bandit leader who tells her that Roy's army are the bandits in the Western Isles.

A member of the Kutolah Tribe of Sacae and Dayan's NumberTwo.

* TheStoic: Almost all of his support conversations include a fair bit of him staring silently.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: You need to have Lilina talk to him in order to recruit him.

* HulkSpeak / YouNoTakeCandle: How he speaks.

* MauveShirt: He sees ''himself'' as one; in one talk with Alen, Lance offers to be the cannon-fodder diversion should Roy ever need to flee quickly. Alen vehemently sets him straight on this.

* AChildShallLeadThem

%%* {{Determinator}}
* {{DLC}}: In VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening, complete with [[http://i.imgur.com/Av7X7.png his own set of]] ImpossiblyCoolClothes.
** Also returns to the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' roster this way in the fourth installment.
%%* FragileSpeedster: As typical with lords, but as he's only fifteen he ups the "fragile" bit.

* RedHeadedHero

%%** Although there are a few who think of him as {{Badass}} due to the fact that he can have ''six potential wives'', the most that a lord can have in any Fire Emblem game short of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemJugdral Genealogy]]'s Seliph and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'s Avatar.

* BadassGrandpa

%%* ThePaladin

* WellExcuseMePrincess
%%* WhiteMagicianGirl: A mounted one, with a few elements of FragileSpeedster.

%%* FragileSpeedster: As with all Myrmidons and Swordmasters, though Rutger takes it up a notch. With naturally high skill, and a +'''30''' crit rate (As opposed to the +15 crit of the later games), Rutger pushes a ~38% crit chance against enemies, with an ''iron sword'', when promoted.

* RedMage

* DarkMagicalGirl

* [[spoiler: IJustWantToBeNormal: Subverted. In one of her support conversations, Niime points out to Sophia that if she was just an ordinary human girl as opposed to being a half-human, half-dragon hybrid, she could have had a normal and happy life without worrying about being hunted down for her powers. In response, however, Sophia says the following:]]

* InnocentProdigy: She has a certain degree of clairvoyance (Which winds up giving her status as the Prophet of Nabata) and [[spoiler:comes from an impressive [[MixedAncestry half-human, half-dragon lineage]]]], but she knows very little about the world outside of her homeland in Nabata.
** On top of that, judging from her conversations with Niime, she barely knows anything about [[spoiler:her own mixed bloodline]], including if her ability to vaguely see into the future has anything to do with it at all.

* [[spoiler: LittleOldLadyInvestigates]]: She has a go at this when she leaves her village, provoked by the Bern War… [[DamselInDistress It doesn’t turn out so well.]]

* [[spoiler: OlderThanTheyLook: Looks like a teenager, but has actually lived for centuries due to her dragon heritage.]]

* [[spoiler: ReallySevenHundredYearsOld]]

* SilkHidingSteel: Looks like a ProperLady in her [[TrueBlueFemininity blue dress]] and is also very shy, but there's a reason for her to be in the war. If she marries Roy, she's said to give pretty decent advice in regards to reconstructing Lycia.
** Also see IJustWantToBeNormal.

* TheQuietOne
* WaifProphet
* [[spoiler: WhoWantsToLiveForever: A huge topic in her conversation with Fae. When Fae is annoyed that she is growing at a much slower rate than Sophia (who is a half-human/half-dragon, while Fae is a full-blooded dragon), the latter tries to comfort her by saying that even when she dies, Fae will still be youthful and live on… [[ComplimentBackfire Which results in Fae bursting into tears over the thought of losing her best friend]]. Then Sophia says this:]]

** [[spoiler: This conversation (particularly the quote above) strongly implies that [[FridgeHorror Sophia had human friends back in Arcadia that she wound up outliving due to her bloodline, causing her a lot of emotional pain and grief]].]]

%%* FluffyTheTerrible
%%* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons

%%* PurpleIsPowerful

%%* SkilledButNaive
%%* ThirdPersonPerson
* TooAwesomeToUse: Run her Dragonstone out of uses and she can't fight. This makes her a frustrating unit to use, since you only get 30 attacks out of it for the duration of the game. You also can't use the Hammerne on it.
** There is one loophole, though: with her massive Resistance stat, she can sponge magic attacks all day without wasting uses of the stone. Fae is excellent for making long-range magic attackers ([[ThatOneAttack Bolting]], [[StandardStatusEffects status effect staves]]) run out their weapons.

%%* MightyGlacier: If he manages to overcome it, with his growths that manage to make him parallel [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Haar]].

%%* GeniusBruiser

%%* ParentalSubstitute: To Lalam.

* DarkIsNotEvil

* HalfHumanHybrids: [[spoiler:Half dragon, half human.]]
* HealingHands: Has a "healing touch", but in game proper, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation it's only used once and off-screen and promptly forgotten afterwards]].

* MagikarpPower: Subversion. Experienced players will look at her base stats and joining time and assume she's one of those characters who starts out underleveled and ends up extremely powerful. Sophia, however, usually goes from being cripplingly weak to merely mediocre.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler:She's over 100 years old.]]

* SilkHidingSteel: Looks like a ProperLady in her [[TrueBlueFemininity blue dress]] and also is very shy, but there's a reason for her to be in the war. If she marries Roy, she's said to give pretty decent advice in regards to reconstructing Lycia.
* SquishyWizard: Has almost nonexistent Defense and low starting stats...

!!Marquess Eliwood of Pherae ''(Eliwod)''

* ObliviouslyBeautiful: Noah fell in love with her at first sight, while even Rath eventually thaws enough to tell her she has beautiful eyes.

* JackOfAllStats: He starts in the mercenary class, which tends to fall in between the fast but fragile myrmidon, tough but slow knight, and hard-hitting but spongy fighter. His stat growths also support this, as he's unlikely to cap any single stat except possibly skill, but will probably get all but resistance to 20+ once promoted to hero.

* ItsNotYouItsMe: Non-romantic version. [[spoiler:Dieck saved a very young Klein's life, and as such he was employed and treated kindly by Pent and Louise. However, he notied how other Etrurian nobles looked down on him, so he left to not cause problems to the Reglays. Klein was very... hurt by that.]]

* BoringButPractical: While Lilina has ridiculously high Magic and support bonuses to take advantage of, Lugh compensates with better availability and higher averages in HP, skill and speed.

* ChivalrousPervert: He did save one girl from being harrassed... by clinging to her harasser and posing as ''his'' jilted lover. The man fled, but so did the girl.

* DorkKnight [[KnightInShiningArmor In Shinning Armor]]

* TheAce: Considered one by the other Etrurian generals. Given how useful he is gameplay-wise, this is fully justified.

* UglyGuysHotDaughter: Not that Bartre is the ugliest guy around, but she definitely does not take after him in the looks department.

* KissingCousins: Made possible by the prequel: depending on the marriages in Rekka No Ken, it is possible that Hector married Florina and Eliwood married Fiora, making Lilina and Roy first cousins through their mothers.

%%* UglyGuysHotDaughter: She definitely does not take after Bartre in the looks department.

* SexyPriest: Thinks of himself as such. The women he flirts with don't seem to agree.

* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:He is completely ungrateful to Hector for having saved his life twenty years ago, and he wasn't even a villain at the time.]]

BodyguardBetrayal: Imprisons his country's princess when she stops at his fortress, and plans to sell her out to Bern's enemies.
{{Greed}}: His main motivation, and what he attributes his death to.
{{Irony}}: His chapter is dripping with it. Most notably, his army ends up fighting against the Lycian forces he planned to bargain with when Ellen finds them first.

* NiceGuy: His defining trait. Roy is one of the nicest and gentlest characters in the entire series, and arguably the most mild-mannered Lord character.

* MacGuffinGirl: [[spoiler:What Jahn sees her as.]]
