Removed this section. Either examples are Crutch Characters or they aren\\\'t. If they aren\\\'t they don\\\'t belong in the article. Additionally, this reads like a new trope description in-line with the article. A new trope needs a new article. In any case it\\\'s all a matter of degree: if a chracter is a \\\"Crutch Character but not as clearly an example as usual\\\" that\\\'s not a very good trope definition: TheSameButLess. Finally it\\\'s fine to describe fan terminology but the place to do it would be the FireEmblem article.
**{{Crutch Character}}s who don\\\'t completely suck after the first few chapters of the game (this consists of the Crutches from \\\'\\\'Sacred Stones\\\'\\\' onward) are called \\\"Oifayes\\\" in the fandom, after the less-sucky-than-average Crutch from \\\'\\\'Fire Emblem: Geneaology of the Holy War\\\'\\\'. Seth, Titania, and Sothe would fall in this catagory.
***Subverted for Titania as Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn has Titania return in the CrutchCharacter role but instead of sucking, she turns out to be the MOST VIABLE CHOICE for your mounted paladin due to her having absolutely godlike growths putting her among the top tier characters to use in the final battle.
***Titania barely qualifies as either a CrutchCharacter or an Oifayes. Even in Path of Radience she still has very good stats and she\\\'s quite good even in the end game. She\\\'s not the best paladin (That would be generally be considered to be Oscar), but given how well Paladins perform in the game in general, she\\\'s still very good.
****[[MagikarpPower \\\"I Swear To God when I evolve I\\\'ll KILL YOU ALL\\\"]]
*** Other characters who are pre-promoted are often considered {{Crutch Character}}s, but there are also some who are Oifayes who are actually viable both ways. Some of the StopHavingFunGuys will criticize you for using a prepromoted character at all, even though some characters such as Pent and Hawkeye from 7 are given a pass. (Wolf from the DS remake is often \\\'\\\'encouraged\\\'\\\' to be used)
**** That would be because Wolf has the best stat gains in the game (tied with the other pre-promote who comes with him). Incidentally, Hawkeye is fairly low on the tier list whilst Pent is possibly the best mage.
