History Characters / UnicornOverlordDrakenhold

* TheAce: He's described as such by Gilbert. He was so good many thought he would be the one to ascend the throne after their father's passing. This is partially why Gilbert doesn't feel he's up to snuff when it comes to leading Drakehold as he feels Ludwig is the better option.

* EnemyMine: Drakenhold and Cornia used to be at war, and Gilbert's father actually rejoiced when Cornia fell. Virginia was only given shelter in Drakehold so she could be married off to Gilbert's older brother. Having just freed his capital from TheEmpire, allying with Alain is the only way to safeguard his people's newly won freedom, and he can join the Liberation Army to cement their friendship and desire to move forward instead of bringing past grudges up.

An old acquaintance of Aubin and one of the desert gang leaders in Drakehold. She's Magellan's younger sister.

* GoodIsNotNice: As a gang leader and one of the "exiles" forced to do what she must to survive in Drakehold's unforgiving deserts, she's understandably not one of the nicest party members. She does have more than a few PetTheDog moments, as seen in her Rapports.

An old acquaintance of Aubin and one of the desert gang leaders in Drakehold. He's Liza's older brother.

* MyGreatestFailure: During Drakehold's war against Zenoira, Ludwig and his father took to the battlefield to repel the empire. The battle ended with Zenoira's victory and cost Aramis not only his army, but also his father's life. When reuniting with Gilbert, Ludwig explains he felt so ashamed of his failure to drive back the empire and getting the king killed that he couldn't bring himself to return home for fear of rejection.

* CainAndAbel: Downplayed. She's the Cain to Primm's Abel, though it's clear neither wants to fight each other. The only reason the sisters are at odds is because of Hilda's resolve and initially refusing to believe Zenoira is responsible for unleashing the plague ravaging Drakehold. Once she confirms Primm's story, though, she joins Alain's party to make amends.

* CainAndAbel: Downplayed. She's the Abel to Hilda's Cain, though it's abundantly clear neither side wants to hurt the other. The only reason the sisters are at odds in the first place is because Hilda initially refuses to believe Zenoira is responsible for the plague that's ravaging Drakehold.
* CassandraTruth: She tells Hilda that Zenoira is responsible for the MysticalPlague ravaging Drakehold. Hilda refuses to believe a word of it due to having heard similar and other excuses for the cause of the plague, though she eventually learns her sister was telling the truth after she checks out her story.

* AbusiveParents: She speaks remarkably little of her parents, if at all. [[spoiler:Rather the problem comes from her ancestor, who was desperate to create an heir he could pass his techniques onto by any means necessary. If the child failed to meet his standards, they were killed off. His "wives" fared little better, with the weakest also dying, and many going mad from his mistreatment of them. Even when her ancestor kicked the bucket, he took to possessing his descendants, with Amalia being his most recent host.]] It's for this reason Amalia chose to stay behind in her home village in the mountains before deciding to leave for Drakehold's coliseum.

* BigEater: When recruited she mentions she eats as much as five men

* EyepatchOfPower: Given her love of combat, it's not hard to imagine how she might have lost it. [[spoiler:When she gets possessed by her ancestor, Amalia loses the eyepatch, revealing two glowing eyes]].
* HiddenElfVillage: Tells Alain in their rapport that she grew up in a village in the mountains and is very hard to find, so much in fact Zenoira hasn't found it. Amalia also explains she initially stayed there so as to [[spoiler:keep others from falling victim to her ancestor's BloodKnight tendencies]] before deciding to leave for Drakehold's coliseum.

* OptionalPartyMember: She'll join your party for reals if you can beat her in the arena. [[spoiler:[[SuperMode Twice]].]]

* OptionalPartyMember: He won't directly join the Liberation army unless Primm talks with him and gives him the opportunity to defect during "The General in Black".
* MeaningfulRename: As it turns out during his Rapport conversation with Travis, the name "Aramis" comes from a Drakenhold faerie tale about a solitary sellsword who rebel against a despot and claims the throne for himself. Though, tellingly, "Aramis" is not the protagonist - he's his relative that turned to crime to protect his family and, ultimately, burns at a stake for it.

* BloodKnight: Played with in unusual ways. When she's introduced Amalia doesn't really care about the resistance or Drakenhold's plight; she just wants to see the arena re-opened. When she joins your party, she's still eager to fight, but she also makes it clear fighting is not the "be all, end all" of what she finds important in life. [[spoiler: It turns out that her ancestor is a truly toxic example of this trope, mistreating and abusing basically everyone and everything around him in the desire to battle and polish his mastery of arms until he essentially became an undead specter haunting and occasionally [[DemonicPossession possessing]] his descendants because not even death could blunt his bloodlust or obsession. Amalia likes fighting and doesn't want to let him ruin it for her, but she has no desire to become like him.]]

* MasterOfNone: Gilbert has C growth across all his stats, meaning he's equally mediocre at everything. That said as his role is to buff the squad and debuff enemies, his stats don't actually matter much.

* {{BFS}}: She wields a greatsword on the level of the [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Dragon Slayer]] ''in one hand''.

* LandOfDragons: Averted. There is nothing that could be considered Asian inspired in Drakenhold, or the entire game for that matter. It's called "Land of the Dragons" in-universe due to their Wyvern Knights and the huge dragon bones and skeletons that dot Drakenhold's landscape. (Which in itself can be a reference to the abudance of dinosaur fossils in Asia, but that's it.)

* OptionalPartyMember: In order to recruit her, you have to have Primm talk to her during her battle, otherwise she will not be convinced to join the Liberation. Even then, you have to talk to her again in the overworld.

* HiddenDepths: If she's recruited before "Another Prince" and you start the mission, Scarlett is surprised to learn she runs a legitimate merchant business on the side. Liza asks she doesn't tell Magellan or Aubin out of embarrassment.

'''Class:''' Legionary

* ParentalSubstitute: She was abandoned on the Palace steps as a baby. King Hugo had the castle wet nurses raise her, but took a personal interest in her, and she saw him as a father, and Gilbert as a brother.

* HeWasRightThereAllAlong: At the end of the Drakenhold arc, Ludwig is revealed to be [[spoiler:none other than Aramis. He only reveals himself at Alain and Virginia's insistence]].

* EyepatchOfPower: Given her love of combat, it's not hard to imagine how she might have lost it. [[spoiler:When she gets possessed by her ancestor, Amalia loses the eyepatch, revealing she had two glowing eyes]].

** Her epilogue, if not given the Ring, tells that, after years of being undefeated at the Baumratte Coliseum, she convinced the person who bested her to travel the world.

* ButNowIMustGo: The epilogue mentions that after the victory he takes up WalkingTheEarth before signing up on a ship leaving Fevrith, to never be seen again. He makes good on his intent to disappear so that Gilbert can rule unimpeded.

* MusclesAreMeaningless: Downplayed. She doesn't seem to have much muscle tone, even considering how big she is to begin with. TruthInTelevision as a bodybuilder's physique is for show as opposed to Amalia's utilitarian build.

* {{Expy}}: Being a redheaded Wyvern Knight, she's [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Minerva of Macedon]] in all but name. She even has a younger sister who's a Cleric

* LandOfDragons: Averted. There is nothing that could be considered Asian inspired in Drakenhold, or the entire game for that matter. It's called "Land of the Dragons" in-universe due to their Wyvern Knights and the huge dragon bones and skeletons that dot Drakenhold's landscape.

* EnemyMine: Drakenhold and Cornia used to be at war, and Gilbert's father actually rejoiced when Cornia fell. Virginia was only given shelter in Drakehold so she could be married off to Gilbert's older brother. Having just freed his capital from TheEmpire, he rapidly realizes his family was wrong and allying with Alain is the only way to safeguard his people's newly won freedom.

* SupportPartyMember: Gilbert functions as basically an inverted Shaman, buffing his entire squad with offensive, initiative and defensive buffs rather than attacking himself.
* UniversallyBelovedRuler: His leadership of, and dedication to his people during Zenoira's occupation has made him deeply respected by the people of Drakenhold. [[spoiler:Which is why Aramis refuses to publicly reveal his own identity as the older brother, so as not to hamper Gilbert's efforts going forward.]]

* ADayInTheLimelight: He's rarely invilved in the plot despite being recruited right before the TimeSkip, but does occasionally pop in; the desert arc in Drakenhold gives him a fair bit more involvement.

An old acquaintance of Aubin and one of the desert gang leaders in Drakehold.

* SuperBoss: [[spoiler:When possessed by her Ancestor, she becomes one of the toughest foes in the game by far despite fighting entirely alone.]]
