* UnluckilyLucky: On one hand, Hortensia, over the course of the game, [[spoiler:loses her father, has to betray her own country to save it from the Fell Dragon, is led to believe her sister died, before said sister joins the Divine Dragon, and gets brainwashed, before being forced to team up with Veyle, who she despises for what her EvilSplitPersonality did]]. Quite a list, to say the least. On the ''other'' hand, she was a ''student'' before she went to war, not even a trained soldier, and survives multiple encounters with the Divine Dragon, something quite a few of their other enemies can't say.

** Kagetsu best-fits the "[[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Navarre]]" archetype among Engage's roster. In the story sense, he's a vagrant swordsman serving a foreign land to initially oppose you, before joining your side on behalf of a single character. Gameplay-wise, he's a [[CriticalHitClass critical-hit-focused]] swordsman with high Speed and notable Strength who is first fought as an enemy, though his joining time is rather late for the role. Other "Navarres" include [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Ayra]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776 Mareeta]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Rutger]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Guy]], and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones Joshua]]. Though unlike the other Navarres, you can't persuade him to defect from the opposing army, instead he's an automatic recruitment a few chapters after his first few debuts as an enemy.

Hortensia still counts as a Spoiled Sweet character; while she may be selfish and bratty, a Spoiled Sweet character can still be a bit of a selfish brat sometimes, but shows they really are nice despite having that as a flaw. She's selfish, but not MEAN.

* GrimUpNorth: Elusia is one of the northernmost kingdoms in the continent and is known for its harsh mountainous landscape and cold climate.



* AlwaysAccurateAttack: Has the ability to achieve this with the inherited skill Divine Pulse+. If a unit with the skill performs an attack and misses, it has a chance to trigger and turn the miss into a ''guaranteed'' hit. This occurs at a rate of 50%, which is increased by an additional point of percent per point of luck the user possesses. Céline and Hortensia, in their unique classes, are the only two units in the game who can reach 50 luck to gurantee the skill's activation without additional boosts to their luck. This also applies to status-inflicting staves, such as Freeze or even Entrap, provided the target doesn't have an ability to prevent those effects from being applied at all.

* BathingBeauty: She's fond of bathing at hot springs (which are supposedly common in Elusia) and considers it a great way to de-stress.
* BigBreastPride: The Japanese script has her bragging that her large breasts are one of her more attractive features.



* FeminineWomenCanCook: She's a domestically-focused woman enjoys and is good at cooking.
* GirlyBruiser: She's a GirlyGirl who doesn't look or dress like it, but she's a Hero whose defensive skills make her a StoneWall.
* HeadTurningBeauty: She's considered to be incredibly attractive, to the point it translates into gameplay, as her personal skill ''Disarming Sigh'' will lower the accuracy of male enemies because they're too [[DistractedByTheSexy charmed by her to concentrate properly]].



* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: She reveals in her A-Support with Alear the reason for her narcissistic behavior. She was excessively coddled as a child, raised being treated as if she was the most beautiful, wonderful person in the world, only to eventually leave home to live at a academy and find out there were others who were more popular, capable, etc. than her. This did a serious number on her self confidence, which she dealt with by developing a strong perfectionist streak and a desire to make sure everyone she knows acknowledges her. This of course leads to equally extreme sadness if she feels she has failed to impress those around her.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's a total narcissist who pretends to be demure for the sake of appearing above everyone else, but some of her supports do show that she is capable of being empathetic to others. She also greatly cares for Hortensia, being one of the few people she's genuinely sweet and kind to.

* {{Narcissist}}: While she tries to hide with false modesty, she has a very high opinion of herself. The times she's talking down about herself are often her [[ComplimentFishing fishing for compliments to feed her ego]]. In her B-Support with Yunaka she even [[DistractedByMyOwnSexy gets distracted admiring her own smile]] in a plate's reflection.



* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Her C-Support with Framme has her almost stripping down on the spot to take an outdoor bath in a hot spring they happened upon, but Framme finds the idea to be outrageously unmodest and puts a stop to it by telling her to PleasePutSomeClothesOn. Goldmary explains that she has little body modesty due to growing up in a village near a hot spring where casually bathing in front of others was normal.
