The sixth game in the ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' series, the first one in the [[FireEmblemElibe Elibe]] time, the first one for the GBA, and the last one before the games started getting Western releases. The game is set twenty years after its prequel ''Blazing Sword'', and as such features several [[Characters/FireEmblemElibeBlazingSword characters from said game]] and even more relatives thereof. It features an even larger playable cast than ''Blazing Sword'' and was the first game in the series to introduce the popular [[RelationshipValues support conversations]].

[[folder: Main characters]]
!!Roy
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Royingame_2114.png
->'''Class:''' Lord

The son of Marquess Eliwood of Pherae. He was called home from his studies in Ostia after Bern launched a surprise attack on Sacae, Ilia, and Lycia. After finding the Lycia Alliance in shambles, Roy takes his father's place as its leader and begins to build an army to fight Bern's conquest.
----
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Just like any self-respecting Lord. Unfortunately...
** CantCatchUp: He started with low base stats, and completely balanced growths. Roy ''does'' get to promote, but only very late in the game, and until then he's stuck with a crippling handicap. Even with his huge eleventh-hour buff, hope that his chancey stat growths don't turn out poorly.
* ChickMagnet: Six potential love interests.
* {{DLC}}: In VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening, complete with [[http://i.imgur.com/Av7X7.png his own set of]] ImpossiblyCoolClothes.
* FragileSpeedster: As typical with lords, but as he's only fifteen he ups the "fragile" bit.
* ImprobableAge: Not too improbable, given the medieval setting, but this is still a fifteen-year-old leading a successful army across the continent. And to be fair, his father was only two years older when he did the same thing.
* InfinityPlusOneSword and EleventhHourSuperPower: The Binding Blade.
** CoolSword: It ''catches on fire'' when it performs a critical hit or ranged attack.
* KidAnova: Shanna, Lilina, Sue, Lalum, Cecilia, Sophia...
* NiceGuy
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Averted; although he's just as nice as his dad, he's much more savvy and down-to-earth.
* ObliviousToLove: Okay, so he ''has'' known Lilina since they were both kids, so it may be a little weird for him to see her as more than his best friend at first, but he still has no real excuse when it come to the other girls' obvious affections.
* RedBaron: Young Lion
* RedHeadedHero
* StrongFamilyResemblance: To his dad.
* TheHero, ''[[GuileHero and]]'', TheSmartGuy: For his young age and lack of experience, Roy ''is'' pretty cunning in regards to politics (i.e.: [[spoiler:he discovers almost by himself that Elphin was the missing Prince Mildain under a SpoonyBard disguise.]])
** 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/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'s Avatar.
** And once he actually gets [[spoiler:the Binding Blade]], he becomes a veritable killing machine.
* TheLoad: It's very easy to get him to max out his levels long before the chapter where he can be promoted; he has to be essentially shelved if you don't want him taking EXP from other units.
* RoyalRapier: His starting weapon. Doubles as an AccidentalPun.

----
* BadassGrandpa
* CrutchCharacter: Obviously, considering who he's based off...

* GrumpyOldMan: His C support with Roy seems to indicate this.

->'''Class:''' Transporter

The man in charge of organizing the army's supplies and Roy's advisor.
----
* CommanderContrarian: Being much more cynical and world-weary than Roy, he tends to counsel prudence and sometimes objects to potential recruits, such as Clarine.
* NonActionGuy: The only way in which he's more capable of self-defense nowadays is that he uses a cart, not a tent.
* OlderAndWiser: He's not as timid and fearful anymore as he was in ''Blazing Sword'', but he also...
** TookALevelInJerkass: To some extent, he's now very outspoken, distrusts many people, and behaves a bit harshly all-around.

----
* CainAndAbel: The half-sister and rival of King Zephiel, though she wishes things could be different.
* DistressedDamsel: Spends many of the early chapters being shuttled from one captor to the next.
* [[spoiler:HeroicBastard: Zephiel was the son of the deceased King Desmond and his legally-wed wife Hellene. Guinevere was the daughter of Desmond and his mistress instead.]]
* [[spoiler:TheHighQueen [[TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask Wearing The Queenly Mask]]: After Zephiel's defeat and death, [[AwesomeMomentOfCrowning Guinevere is crowned as the Queen of Bern.]] Roy and Lilina worry that she won't have things easy, though.]]

** CoveredInScars
* JackOfAllStats
* LightningBruiser: Though his resistance could use some work, all his stats are very high, especially his HP.
* [[spoiler:ItsNotYouItsMe: Non-romantic version. 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.]]

->'''Class:''' Troubadour

----
* BigBrotherWorship: Towards Klein, hoo boy. She tells almost every man she talks to that they can't compare to her brother's skills or [[BrotherSisterIncest handsome looks]].
* ClingyJealousGirl: To her brother Klein, whom she calls "the most beautiful in the army". So much that he actually calls her out on it in their B support, since she yelled at another healer for treating him and made her cry.
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:In her and Klein's A support, Clarine expresses fears that when she goes home, she'll just end up as "a doll who won't see the outer world". After speaking to her brother, she decides to become Mage General like her father and Cecilia to avoid this.]]

----
* BadassLonghair
* ButNotTooForeign: Half Bern, half Sacaean. [[spoiler:His Bernese looks get him spared from the Bulgar Massacre, as the armies mistake him for a Bern citizen.]]
* DiscOneNuke: His high skill, speed and acceptable strength, and a possible Hard Mode bonus, alongside his ability to perform critical hits are really valuable during the early parts of the game, and Hero Crest is alvailable pretty early.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[FireEmblemAkaneia Navarre]]; particularly notable in that he's the first ever playable outright Myrmidon[[hottip:*:While the class did technically exist in the Jugdral games as the Swordfighter class, it was a functional blend of Myrmidon and Mercenary, with both Hero and Swordmaster possible promoted classes]], the class effectively spawned by Navarre's unusual-for-a-Mercenary build.
* FragileSpeedster --> GlassCannon: As with all Myrmidons and Swordmasters.
* {{Revenge}}: He releases Clarine and joins Roy's army solely to get back at Bern [[spoiler:for killing his people]].

A Mercenary Knight of Illa.
----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: the chillest cavalier you'll ever meet; also, forgetful and weird practically to EruditeStoner levels (except that he doesn't appear to be on anything). His conversation with Gonzalez has to be seen to be believed, as it consists almost entirely of Gonzalez and Treck trying to remember each others' names.

----
* ActionGirl: Of the BlackMagicianGirl kind.
* BadassAdorable: A very cute girl, with a huge talent for anything related to Anima magic.
* BadassDamsel: 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.

----

----
* DarkIsNotEvil

* PolarOppositeTwins: With his brother Lugh.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Lugh's red.
* SiblingYinYang: With Lugh.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His Japanese name, Lleu, is often romanized as "Ray" due to how it is written in Japanese, which is due to the fact that "Lleu" actually pronounced "Lay." (The name is Welsh in origin.)

!!Cath

->'''Class:''' Wyvern Rider

Princess Guinevere's personal guard, whose loyalty to her mistress surpasses her loyalty to Bern. Older sister of Zeis, and former girlfriend of Galle.
----
* ActionGirl
* {{Badass}}
* BladeOnAStick
* DefectorFromDecadence: She was a respected and high-ranking knight in Bern. In fact, Guinivere held off on fleeing as long as she did because she didn't want Milady's reputation to be harmed.
* DragonRider
* HardModePerks: She gets boosted stats from Hard Mode; however, unlike every other character who gets the bonus, you didn't fight her in any of the chapters in the game. She just flew to your army, and joined with her Hard Mode bonus right off the bat.
* LadyAndKnight: With Guinivere.
* LadyInRed: Not only does she wear all red like her charge, her hair is red too.
* MightyGlacier: Her class and base stats leans on this side; however, her growth is more on a FragileSpeedster side. With Hard Mode Bonus, she is a LightningBruiser.

!!Perceval
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Percivalingame_8361.png
->'''Class:''' Paladin

The Knight General of Etruria.
----
* DudeWheresMyRespect: He eventually stops following Bern's orders -- not because he's fighting his own countrymen or decided that he should work with Cecilia, but because he was insulted by Zephiel delegating things to Narcien rather than giving him his orders personally.
* HardModePerks: Notable since he only retains the Hard Mode bonus if you recruited him in Chapter 15 instead of chapter 13.
* [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your King]]: He capitulates to Zephiel's orders to keep King Mordred safe.
* KnightInShiningArmor
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Him and Lalam.
* TheStoic

!!Cecilia
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ceciliaingame_5568.png
->'''Class:''' Valkyrie

The Mage General of Etruria. Helped teach Roy the basics of warfare in the tutorial.
----
* BadassBookworm
* BadassInDistress: When she's defeated by [[spoiler:Zephiel]] and captured by Narcian. Once freed, Cecilia fully joins the group alongside Sophia.
* CoolBigSis: For Roy and Lilina
* DaddysGirl: Her grandpa and father are said to be quite protective of her.
* HotForStudent: If you give her and Roy an A support.
* LadyOfWar: Not only is she [[LadyOfBlackMagic a skilled mage]], but she also taught Roy his swordsmanship ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation even though she can't equip swords]]).
* PluckyGirl: People didn't want her as the Mage General, but she persevered and won them over.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: She chooses to defend the people of Etruria rather than capitulate to the king's hostage-takers.
* SexyMentor
* StopHelpingMe: The game inexplicably forces her to be deployed on the chapter after you rescue her... which is a ''desert map'' where most of the terrain slows calvary units to a nigh-useless crawl.
* TheWorfEffect: After being established as Roy's teacher, Mage-General, and the leader of the Etrurian resistance, she's [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown trounced in one hit]] by Zephiel. You know, in case you forgot what happened to Hector.

!!Sophia ''(Sofiya)''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sophiaingame_1376.png
->'''Class:''' Shaman

A priestess from the village of Arcadia, located in the Nabata Desert.
----
* DarkisNotEvil
* [[spoiler:HalfHumanHybrids: Half dragon, half human.]]
* LastGirlWins: She can marry Roy via supports.
** [[spoiler:MayflyDecemberRomance]]
* RapunzelHair: Lampshaded by Raigh in their A support:
-->'''Raigh:''' Hey, you over there! You! With the long dragging hair!
* ShrinkingViolet: With lilac hair and purple robes, too.
* SilkHidingSteel: Looks like a ProperLady in her 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...
** MagikarpPower --> GlassCannon: But her growths are pretty decent, especially her Magic.

!!Igrene
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Igreneingame_5819.png
->'''Class:''' Sniper

The Guardian of Nabata, also the daughter of Hawkeye from ''Blazing Sword''.

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Garretingame_9007.png
->'''Class:''' Berserker

A brigand who roams the Etruria-Nabata borders. Is a bit of a cynic.
----
* BaldOfAwesome
* GoodScarsEvilScars
* KnightInSourArmor
* [[spoiler:YouAreWhatYouHate: His mother was killed by brigands when he was young, and he eventually tracked them all down and killed them. But, with nothing left in life, he eventually became one himself]].

!!Fae ''(Fa)''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Faeingame_5609.png
->'''Class:''' Manakete

One of the last few Divine Dragons left in Elibe. Despite looking like a little girl, she's already ancient.
----
* BadassAdorable
* TheCameo: She makes an appearance in ''Blazing Sword'', [[spoiler:in the house in "Living Legend."]]
* CharacterSelectForcing: Of the 10 units you're allowed for the last two chapters, Fae is mandatory. One wonders why, considering that her Dragonstone is just as disposable as the rest of the Divine Weapons ''and'' can't be repaired, so potentially the game is forcing you to deploy a [[TheLoad useless unit]].
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons
* KillerRabbit
** TastesLikeDiabetes: Just seeing her (in ''both forms'') really makes you want to think about this.
* MightyGlacier: Very high stats in everything but Speed and (initially) HP. The latter makes her start off as a GlassCannon until her HP growth gets going.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Apparently young Divine Dragons look like a giant goose. Or something.
** FridgeHorror: [[spoiler:Idoun used to be one, and even in her twisted state she has features vaugely reminiscient of Fa.]]
* [[spoiler:ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: She's ''how many'' centuries old?]]
* SkilledButNaive
* 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.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: When Sophia tells her in support conversations that she will outlive all of her friends, Fae is very unhappy.

!!Hugh
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Hughingame_7850.png
->'''Class:''' Mage

A mercenary Mage who is hired by Roy when his first boss leaves. Is the son of Canas from ''Blazing Sword'' and grandson of Niime.
----
* JackOfAllStats
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
-->"He's just like his father... He tries to be bad, but he can't deny his kind heart..."
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Subverted -- unlike his father and grandmother, he uses anima magic rather than dark. [[spoiler:Actually, that's because Canas's wife/Hugh's dead mother [[BlackMagicianGirl was a Mage/Sage]]. (And if ''Blazing Sword'' is to be believed and [[MagikarpPower Nino's presence]] is a lead, she came from a very powerful clan of these). So it's more of Like ''Mother'' Like Son.]]
* MoneyDearBoy: You have to hire him for your group, and if you give him less money, he'll turn out to be less effective.
* [[MyBelovedSmother My Beloved Grandsmother]]: He views Niime as this.
* [[spoiler:RaisedByGrandparents: His father is Canas... [[MemeticMutation who was killed by continuity errors]].]]

!!Zeiss
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Zeissingame_3630.png
->'''Class:''' Wyvern Rider

A Dragon Knight of Bern under Gale, also the younger brother of Milady.
----
* DragonRider
* GeniusBruiser

->'''Class:''' Nomadic Trooper

Leader of the Kutolah Tribe of Sacae and known as the "Silver Wolf". Is the father of Rath and grandfather of Sue.
----
* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Possibly, and if so, gender-flipped; he doesn't have an official age other than that he is in his 50's, but that means that he was in his 30's in Blazing Sword, when he had an 18-year-old son. That means that he was somewhere between the ages of 12 and 21 when his son was born.
* BadassGrandpa
* MagicalNativeAmerican: Has many traits of this. Though it's really more like Magical Mongolian.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Does he ''look'' like someone who could have an adult granddaughter? Or somebody in his (presumably late) 50's? I thought not.
* ParentalAbandonment: The cause of this for Rath, due to a prophecy.

->'''Class:''' Paladin
----
* FlowerFromTheMountainTop: He once got one of these for his deceased wife, according to Marcus.
--> '''Marcus''': Lord Eliwood loved his wife deeply. And one night... before the two became engaged, Lord Eliwood suddenly disappeared from the castle. When he returned to his love three days later, he presented her with a beautiful white flower which only grows in the snowy highlands. It was the flower which she loved the most.
* IWasQuiteALooker: He is not ''ugly'', but it's clear that the work and stress affected his looks.
* IllBoy: Would've led the troops himself if not for his poor health.
* OlderAndWiser: He has become a...
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: One of the leaders of the Lycian Alliance.

* [[spoiler:DespairEventHorizon: The loss of his son Mildain was this for him. It made him so completely distraught that Roartz easily took control of the country behind his back.]]
* MeaningfulName: Averted, believe it or not. He's named for [[KingArthur one of the most famous traitors in world mythology]], but the most treasonous thing he does is allow a traitor to run his country -- entirely by accident.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Until [[spoiler:Mildain's death]], he was this. [[spoiler:Most likely got better when Elphin revealed himself as Mildain and returned home after the war.]]

* [[spoiler:SelfMadeOrphan: When Desmond opened the coffin to make sure he was dead, Zephiel stabbed him.]]
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: [[spoiler:And he even thought so in ''Rekka no Ken'', as when he made his idealistic prayer for his parents, himself, Guinevere, and her mother to get back together, he called it "my last wish as a foolish child."]]
* SlouchOfVillainy: In TheStinger of ''Blazing Sword''.
* SocialDarwinist
* StartOfDarkness: [[spoiler:His father's abuse, insistence that he was a bastard, and repeated attempts to assassinate him killed Zephiel's goodness.]]
* [[spoiler:UsedToBeASweetKid: That adorable, golden-haired child that Eliwood saved did not grow up well.]]
* WellDoneSonGuy: When he was young, anyway. He trained hard to be an incredibly smart swordsman so he could prove he was worthy to his father. Even when his dad swore he would choose Guinevere's future husband over him to lead Bern, Zephiel accepted it and kept working to earn his father's love. It was only after the king poisoned him that Zephiel dropped this trait.
