The Fire Emblem series, being a classic Swords and Sorcery setting, has quite a lot of nice characters.
- In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Mystery of the Emblem, both the protagonist Marth, and his childhood friend and Love Interest Caeda, fit this to a T. Both are somewhat subdued, yet charismatic leaders who firmly believe in peace; Marth is extremely forgiving by nature despite what he endures, and Caeda recruits many former enemies simply by being kind to them.
- In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade:
- The three Lords of Blazing Blade are all this to some degree or another. Lyn is a deeply kind person who never stops trying to help people in spite of her own problems, and her empathy generally only fails her with outlaws in general — due to a traumatic event in her past involving bandits, but she's able to learn to see the good in them as well — and villainous people in general. Eliwood, like his son Roy (below), is very astute and willing to see the good in people, doesn't allow himself to truly hate his enemies but pity them, and deeply dislikes the ramifications of war on innocents (it's noted by Nils that his father, Lord Elbert was very much alike, if more forceful and decisive). Finally Hector, while somewhat rude at times and abrasive (which makes him seem like a jerk), is very loyal to his friends and more soft-hearted than he's given credit for, to the point his friends like to tease him for his lack of tact contrasting with his inner kindness.
- Wil, one of the most easy-going members of the army, is very easy to like and be friends with; he also reaches out to befriend people like Florina (who is timid around men in general) and Raven (who is aloof and cynical) and is good at bringing them out of their shells. And when he's confronted with past mistakes, he owns up to them instead of making excuses.
- Canas, a scholar who studies Dark Magic but insists it's only as evil as its practitioner, is highly passionate about his studies and curious — a little absent-minded at times, but always well-meaning and polite.
- Legault, perhaps the most personable agent of the Black Fang — he defects after the Fang's falling moral standards are irrevocably corrupted, joining Eliwood's forces when convinced they are in the right, and is kind to those he interacts with. He's also an Honorary Uncle to Nino, who is at ease with his pleasantness.
- Nino stands out for being cheery and friendly despite being raised by an abusive mother who actually adopted her, begrudgingly, after murdering her actual blood parents, inciting protectiveness in those around her and in general not having a bad bone in her body despite her hardships. She's too empathetic for being in the Fang, and only shows anger at the pain others cause (to her and her friends).
- Roy in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade follows his father's example in being kind and personable with people (if a bit sharper of mind).
- In Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones:
- The twin royals of Renais, Eirika and Ephraim, are kind people who only express it differently — Eirika rarely says a bad thing about anyone and values peace and friendship, Ephraim is refreshingly honest and empathetic (even giving an apparent enemy, who tripped while trying to attack him, pointers on how to better use her weapon). Both are willing to do the difficult things necessary, but neither truly enjoy it despite the former's anger at injustice and the latter's love for combat.
- Franz, as well as his older brother Forde — both are friendly, easygoing men who treat their comrades well and easily form strong bonds (Franz with Amelia and Natasha, as well as an Intergenerational Friendship with Gilliam; Forde with his comrade Kyle, and also with Vanessa & Eirika). Both offer their time freely and with a smile, and neither takes kindness in general for granted (especially as Forde raised his brother from a young age).
- Joshua, a laid-back mercenary of Jehanna who loves to gamble, is unwilling to harm women or other innocents (even rigging coin tosses despite his already-dreadful luck) and appears drawn to befriending people who are cold, aloof or broken. He also ran from his responsibilities as prince of Jehanna, but only so as to better understand his people and be a better King in the future, and his serious side shows all measures of his sincerity of character.
- Tana, the upbeat princess of Frelia, who puts herself at risk to help her friends and is startlingly willing to die for doing the right thing (in one route, offering to let a conflicted Cormag kill her if he spares Duessel in return).
- Gerik, an uncommonly-kind mercenary leader who treats his fellow soldiers well and is unashamed to be unorthodox in his line of work. Notable because as a young man he was once brash and arrogant, but after losing a duel to someone out of his league (who left him his signature scar), he learned humility and to treasure both his own life and those of his comrades. Both women in his troop, Tethys and Marisa, are drawn to him for his compassionate nature.
- Several of the characters in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn.
- Ike is one of the least judgmental and most empathetic people alive. He's considered to be an exceptionally kind beorc by most if not all laguz who know him. Soren, who doesn't like anyone else, practically worships him for how nice he was in the past.
- Oscar is easy-going and polite to everyone even when they annoy him. He's also remarkably self-effacing for all his talents.
- Rhys consistently shows great concern even for complete strangers and never bickers with anyone, even when they're pulling dangerous stunts.
- Zihark is friendly to all the people he meets, and is only willing to criticize others' behavior when it starts hurting other people. He doesn't even have the heart to directly reject Meg.
- Ranulf is an easy-going egalitarian who quickly becomes very chummy with Ike for this reason.
- Fire Emblem: Awakening
- Chrom, the game's protagonist, is extremely trusting towards his friends, and never lets up an occasion to help them.
- This is generally the Avatar's personality in the game. Except when possessed by Grima, of course.
- Chrom's daughter from the future, Lucina, helps around camp on her spare time, is very supportive of her friends, and is always trying to improve herself as a leader.
- Sumia, one of the pegasus riders, is an absolute sweetheart. She seems to care for and love everyone. Except for cows. Cows annoy her.
- Henry is a twisted example. While the way he tends to act can freak people out, he genuinely likes helping people. Even if the way he goes about it is completely misguided and a little... unorthodox. Unlike the sour grape that is Tharja, the only time he places hexes on his fellow Shepherds is if they ask him to do so. He just as gladly removes them again if they request him to, with no hard feelings.
- The Avatar's child, Morgan, especially the male version. Unlike his female counterpart, who is a troll, and has a bit of a sadistic side to her, Male Morgan is generally nice to everyone he interacts with, just like his mother.
- Stahl is a very mellow and friendly guy and, like Henry, he is completely willing to go out of his way to help (albeit he’s normal about it).
- Fire Emblem Fates has a fairly large amount, reinforcing the not so different aspect of Hoshido and Nohr:
- The Avatar. They grew up surrounded by kind people (With the exception of Garon), and is naturally kind themselves (in Revelations and Invisible History it's revealed that this is largely in part due to their father, Anankos' good half). The Avatar is possibly one of the kindest and most forgiving lords in the franchise, rivaling the likes of Eliwood and Marth. In their supports, the Avatar is almost always helping or playing therapist to other characters in the army, and their general attitude — when they don't feel mischievous — is one of politeness and humility. Xander even tells them they're too nice for their own good — and, to an extent, he's right. Caeldori also sums it up well in her S support with a Male Avatar.
- Silas, one of the Avatar's childhood friends (whom they forgot about) is a paragon of kindness. He assures the Avatar that even if they are Hoshido's prince/princess, they're still their own person, and he constantly tries to help out others. He's The Reliable One and often serves as a Warrior Therapist to the other characters.
- Kaze is a calm, kind, and polite ninja. He'll join your party regardless of the player's decision. In many of his supports, he goes out of his way to help others.
- The Avatar's elder brothers, Ryoma and Xander, both of them are surprisingly kind individuals. Ryoma's supports have a tendency to show him trying to help out others and being all-around nice, whereas Xander a calm, kind, and honest man, and raised the Avatar to be a good person at heart (it might have worked a little too well).
- The Avatar's elder sisters, Hinoka and Camilla, as well. Hinoka's described as the most caring person in the army, and it shows. Camilla, for all her issues is also incredibly kind and caring (especially towards the Avatar and Elise) and essentially fills the role of Team Mom on the Nohr side.
- Both of the Avatar's youngest sisters, Sakura (from the Hoshido side) and Elise (from the Nohr side), take this up to eleven (notice a pattern here?). Both of them are All Loving Heroines, with both having unlimited kindness and compassion towards everyone regardless of someone's background. It doesn't end well for Elise on Birthright. It doesn't end well at all.
- Oboro, despite her hatred towards Nohr, can actually be a kind and reasonable girl at heart that allows her to be the Team Mom for the Hoshidan army. In addition, she also fits into the "Sweet" category should you make her the chef of your restaurant (which is also shared with Midori and Elise, both are also Nice Girls as well).
- As befitting their Red Oni, Blue Oni/Boke and Tsukkomi Routine, Kaden and Keaton. The former loves helping and cheering people up with his fluffy tail, and must always return the favor whenever someone is nice to him; the latter is, despite his quirks, an otherwise genuinely pleasant, affable guy.
- Effie is very gentle and devoted to those she cares for, especially her lady-of-liege Elise. Effie will protect anyone who needs it with her own life, especially her friends and allies, and sometimes even sufficiently sympathetic enemies, without any regard for her own safety. In Revelations, Azama pretty much calls her a Martyr Without a Cause for it, whereas Leo straight-up questions if she doesn't cherish her own life.
- Despite his unlucky moments, Arthur, as befitting a HERO OF JUSTICE, is an upbeat and friendly guy at heart. He was even willing to get himself punished just to protect Azura back when he was a child/young teenager.
- Benny. Despite his intimidating appearance, he's a genuinely sweet guy. He's noted to always be thinking of his comrades, whom he easily towers over. Additionally, he's a Friend to All Living Things, including bears.
- The Avatar's child, Kana, of either gender, just like their parent. Both of them are more immature about it, but nonetheless both are as kindhearted as the Avatar.
- Shigure, in contrast to his mother Azura's asocial tendencies is very helpful, kind, compassionate, and willing to listen to other's issues.
- Dwyer, again unlike his father Jakob, is despite his lazy, apathetic attitude, a genuinely nice and caring person as shown in many of his supports, though he apparently doesn't like being told he's nice.
- Midori, like her father Kaze is unfailingly nice, kind and sweet to others.
- Kiragi, in contrast to his father Takumi, is excitable, incredibly friendly and open.
- Hisame has many of his supports feature him trying to help out whoever he's talking to, even the odder girls like Rhajat and Ophelia.
- Siegbert is a near-carbon-copy of his father Xander, right down to the calm, kind and honest personality.
- Forrest, in contrast to his father Leo, is an all-around sweet guy.
- Percy, just like his father Arthur, is a very open and friendly kid at heart.
- Fire Emblem: Three Houses has several characters from all major factions, highlighting the Grey-and-Gray Morality of the game:
- The Black Eagles and Adrestian Empire have Ferdinand, Caspar, Bernadetta, Dorothea, and Petra. Ferdinand is, despite his competitive streak, generally polite and jovial to the other students and genuinely interested in their wellbeing. Caspar, while Hot-Blooded, does deeply care for his friends. Bernadetta turns out to be a pleasant person once her crippling shyness is past. Dorothea, while a Jerkass to One towards Ferdinand, is otherwise pleasant (if flirty) to be around, and acts as a Cool Big Sis towards Bernadetta and Ingrid. Finally, Petra is very positive, understanding, and polite, with this trait actually being noted as admirable by several characters.
- The Blue Lions and Holy Kingdom of Faerghus have pre-Freak Out Dimitri, Mercedes, Annette, and Ashe. Dimitri is the most polite of the three lords. Mercedes is one of the sweetest members of the cast and wants to help as many people as possible (although Lorenz does get on her nerves). Annette holds no grudge against her estranged father, Gilbert/Gustave, and is very cheerful and kind in general. Finally, Ashe is unfailingly polite and kind, even to people that are hostile to him, and says to Byleth that he genuinely enjoys helping people. (Unless you're the Western Church's bishop, that is.)
- The Golden Deer and Leicester Alliance have Hilda, Raphael, Ignatz, and Marianne. Hilda is a sweet girl who proves to be a loyal ally when things get serious. Raphael remains The Pollyanna despite losing his parents to an accident, and acts as a cheery emotional anchor to his friends. While Ignatz is a pushover, he's also a genuinely polite and affable guy (unless Lysithea pushes him too far). Finally, while Marianne is not good with people she's a Friend to All Living Things and is shown to be nice once comfortable.
- The Church and Knights of Seiros have Flayn and Alois. Flayn is a gentle soul who abhors violence and pain, and she actively desires to make friends and bond with people. Alois is a friendly and upbeat guy, if a bit excitable, and Shamir credits him for helping her more noble side show.
- The Ashen Wolves has Yuri and Balthus. Yuri serves as The Don of the underground city of Abyss, and has a checkered past, but is unfailingly loyal to his friends. Balthus, meanwhile, is a Boisterous Bruiser who is a lot of fun to be around.
- Fire Emblem Engage:
- The protagonist, Alear, proves in their supports that to be compassionate to almost everyone they meet. It's no wonder that even when it's revealed that they're actually the child of Sombron, all of Alear's allies remain devoted to them for the brave and kind person they've proven themselves to be.
- Veyle, when she's not being controlled by her evil split personality, is a kind and selfless person. While she gets upset when people hold grudges against her for her dark self's actions, she doesn't hold it against them, and tries to atone for her other self's crimes and gain people's trusts.
- Alfred is incredibly kind and friendly to almost everyone he meets, sometimes to an overbearing degree, something that Ivy and Yunaka both call him out on.
- The Kingdom of Firene has Boucheron, Louis, and Chloé. Boucheron is a kind, polite and tolerant young man who easily empathizes with other people. Louis, despite watching and spying on people, still cares about making people happy and will stop watching if he's asked. Chloé is so often seen with a smile on her face when interacting with other characters that seeing her sad is quite uncommon, usually after some form of misunderstanding, and the amount of times you see her get angry throughout the game can be counted on one hand.
- Alycrst, despite his frighteningly low opinion of himself, is a kind and compassionate young man who sees the best in everyone and is fiercely loyal to his friends and family. His supports with his retainer Lapis involve her frustration with how Alcryst can’t see himself as the wonderful person he really is. That said, he is initially hostile to Ivy due to blaming her for his father's death, though he does soften up when she apologizes in their C Support.
- The Kingdom of Elusia has Rosado and Kagetsu. Rosado, despite his narcissism, still cares about others and is friendly and supportive to his allies, including Mauvier, who'd tried to kill him and Goldmary for stealing the Ring of the Azure Twins. Even when fought as an enemy, he's polite and charming. Kagetsu is polite and friendly even to his opponents, to the point where Ivy has a hard time trusting that his kindness is genuine. By the end of their support chain, she learns that it is.
- Pandreo is a deeply compassionate guy and a good friend, and many of his supports focus on him helping other people with their issues.
- All members of the Four Winds, in stark contrast to the the Four Hounds (with the exception of Mauvier, who acts similarly to his counterpart), are kind and compassionate people. Zelestia, unlike Zephia, always looks out for the safety and well-being of her friends and allies, which makes her the Team Mom of the Four Winds. Gregory is a Cowardly Lion who is nevertheless kind, compassionate, and dependable to pretty much everyone he meets, unlike the sadistic Griss. Madeline, in stark contrast to the bratty and psychotic Marni, is a humble, polite, and mature young lady who looks out for her friends and for other people.
- Mauvier, even when fought as an enemy, is the most respectful and the least cruel member of the Four Hounds as he always shows respect towards his opponent and speaks in a polite tone in combat. Unsurprisingly, he eventually goes through a Heel–Face Turn out of loyalty to Veyle and his rage at Marni's murder. His Alternate Self as a member of the Four Winds is just as polite and affable as he is, being the only member who doesn't have a change of personality.
