History Characters / FireEmblemHeroesHel

* IKnowYouKnowIKnow: [[spoiler:Book III Chapter 11 has Alfonse figure out that "Líf" will be at his version of the Order of Heroes castle with the weapon the "forbidden heart" created, stating that he would do this if he was in "Líf" position. However, "Líf" was counting on Alfonse to confront him in the castle, with the castle collapsing as a trap should he fail to take down Alfonse by combat, taking Alfonse by surprise. Book III Chapter 12 reveals that Alfonse did escape knowing where it would be safe and chases "Líf" down.]]

** [[spoiler:During Book III Chapter 3, Reyson mentions that Líf's heart is "completely clouded". Additionally, in the Japanese version, he mentions "that man's heart, it's like everything ..." pretty much foreshadowing something really tragic happened to him.]]

** [[spoiler:In the Book III intro, Alfonse's clothes, armor, and part of his face is stained black when he falls and wades through the black liquid.]]

** [[spoiler:Both of them have identical weapon and movement types, and even a similar statline, being MightyGlaciers. "Líf" also commonly has Death Blow as a skill, which is a skill Alfonse is capable of learning without skill inheritance.]]

-->[[spoiler:''(To Alfonse) Hel bade me balance the cohort of the dead. When someone from another realm dies... someone here is saved. It would be like no one ever died... Even Sharena... On those terms, I forged a contract with Hel. To save our world... I will decimate yours.'']]

* LargeAndInCharge: The ruler of the dead has an imposing stature indeed, she's OneHeadTaller than everyone else in the game.

* DamageIncreasingDebuff: Her New Year variant has Temari+, where if the foe has 3 Res or less than her and they are adjactent to any of their allies, she inflicts -5 Atk/Spd at the start of her turn.

* FireForgedFriends: With Thrasir, [[spoiler:as they're really AlternateUniverse versions of Alfonse and Veronica who were enemies until they became allies against Hel and later still generals under her. "Líf" reciprocates "Thrasir's" admittance that she's glad after all the hell they've gone through they were at least able to become friends, and like her expressed a desire to continue being so once their realm is restored. This later on goes into ShipTease territory with the Valentine Duo "Líf" & "Thrasir", as not only they are paried up together as one hero, but the both of them admit to having each other if they have nothing else, with even "Thrasir" asking if their bond was to be called love, then she wants that love from "Líf" to carry her forward.]]

** Þjálfi is the brother of Röskva, who the former once sucked the marrow out of a leg bone of one of the goats of Thor during their dinner, which did not heal the next day, enraging Thor and demands his parents to have him and his sister be his servant as compensation.

* FireForgedFriends: With Líf, [[spoiler:as they're really AlternateUniverse versions of Alfonse and Veronica who were enemies until they became allies against Hel and later still generals under her. Thrasir admits to Líf that if there was a silver lining in the hell they've gone through, it's that she was able to become friends with him, and she expressed a desire to maintain that friendship if they managed to restore their realm. This later on goes into ShipTease territory with the Valentine Duo "Líf" & "Thrasir", as not only they are paried up together as one hero, but the both of them admit to having each other if they have nothing else, with even "Thrasir" asking if their bond was to be called love, then she wants that love from "Líf" to carry her forward.]]

* RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: [[spoiler:The conclusion to Book III has Thórr offering her and Líf a place in their army, to which she (understandably) snarks back if Thórr can give back their world in exchange. She is not prepared for the BluntYes she gets in reply, as apparently Alfaðör ''can'' do that.]]

** [[spoiler:At the beginning of Paralogue 19-3, after meeting their Spring counterparts, Alfonse explain to Sharena that there are alternative universes, each with their own Alfonse and Sharena.]]

* FireForgedFriends: With Thrasir, [[spoiler:as they're really AlternateUniverse versions of Alfonse and Veronica who were enemies until they became allies against Hel and later still generals under her. Líf reciprocates Thrasir's admittance that she's glad after all the hell they've gone through they were at least able to become friends, and like her expressed a desire to continue being so once their realm is restored.]]

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Valentine Duo Líf & Thrasir reveals that [[spoiler:"Líf" is actually Alfonse, with "Thrasir" namedropping him in their Castle lines]], which the Duo Hero was released more than a year after the end of Book III.

** Her playable variant's Killing Intent, in addition to inflicting -5 Spd/Res on the foe during combat, allows her to have any of her follow-up attacks go before the foe can counterattack if she initiates combat and at the start of combat the foe either is not at full HP or has a penalty inflicted on them, such as a stat debuff or is inflicted with the Panic status.

* CoolMask: She has one that goes around her eyes and has protruding horns on the top of her head.

* FireForgedFriends: With Líf, [[spoiler:as they're really AlternateUniverse versions of Alfonse and Veronica who were enemies until they became allies against Hel and later still generals under her. Thrasir admits to Líf that if there was a silver lining in the hell they've gone through, it's that she was able to become friends with him, and she expressed a desire to maintain that friendship if they managed to restore their realm.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: There are some clues that [[spoiler:"Thrasir" is acually another Veronica from a ruined Embla.]]

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Valentine Duo Líf & Thrasir reveals that [[spoiler:"Thrasir" is actually Veronica, with "Líf" namedropping her in their Castle lines and Lv. 40 confessional]], which the Duo Hero was released more than a year after the end of Book III.

* WeaponOfChoice: Her tome Ífingr, which is effective against dragons, nulls skills that grant her enemy follow-ups and grants her +4 to all stats during combat if she has an ally within 3 spaces, at the cost of debuffing her nearest ally by -4 to all stats after combat.

* ActionInitiative: His Sökkvabekkr, in addition to giving him +4 Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat, allow him to have a guaranteed follow-up attack if he is within 3 spaces of an ally.

* CoolMask: He has one that resembles a dragon's mouth.

* DamageIncreasingDebuff: His Deadly Balance, in addition to giving him +1 special buildup for every foe's attack, allows him to inflict -5 Atk/Def during combat if either he's at 50% HP or over or he has a penalty inflicted on him.

* DifficultButAwesome: Sökkvabekkr has a very strong and potent effect, and can even enable Brazen/Vantage/Desperation strategies easily, but outside of that, it requires proper positioning of your other units to avoid unnecessary recoil damage, as improper positioning can and ''will'' result in unexpected casualties.

* HumanResources: In order to gain the +4 Atk/Spd/Def/Res boost in combat and a guaranteed follow-up attack from Sökkvabekkr, he needs at least an ally within 3 spaces of him while also dealing 20 damage to the closest ally after combat, implying that he's extracting their life essence to boost his strength.

* MightyGlacier: {{Downplayed|trope}}, but he has fantastic Atk and good Def, but average HP, Res and Spd.

* PowerAtAPrice: Sökkvabekkr grants him significant stat buffs and a guaranteed double if an ally is within 3 spaces, but it also deals 20 damage to his nearest ally afterwards, which is guaranteed to heavily injure them or outright leave them on the brink of death.

* StatusBuff: As a Mythic Hero of Anima, if an ally has an Anima Blessing during Anima season in Aether Raids, he gives them +5 HP and +4 Spd if they're on the battlefield, which can be stacked with other Mythic Heroes of Anima, including copies of himself.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:"Líf" attempts this to Alfonse at the end of Book III Chapter 11 by intentionally collaping his version of the Order of Heroes castle, with the both them still inside it when it started. Both live the collapsing castle at the start of Book III Chapter 12.]]

* UncannyFamilyResemblance: He looks a lot like an older Alfonse wearing a mask. He even shares both his class and [[https://feheroes.gamepedia.com/File:Líf_Lethal_Swordsman_BtlFace.png attack]] [[https://feheroes.gamepedia.com/File:Alfonse_Prince_of_Askr_BtlFace.png pose]]. [[spoiler:It's all foreshadowing that Líf is an Alfonse from an alternate future.]]

* WeaponOfChoice: The sword Sökkvabekkr, which grants him a guaranteed follow-up attack and +4 to all stats in combat if there is an ally within 3 spaces, at the cost of dealing 20 damage to the nearest ally after combat.

* TheCameo: [[spoiler:She reappears alongside Líf in the Book IV ending movie, offering Triandra and Plumeria to join Alfaðör in order to bring Freyja back to life. Unlike Líf, Thrasir reamins silent during this appearance.]]

* ActionInitiative: Her Lyfjaberg, in addition to giving her +4 Atk/Spd during combat if she is at 50% HP or more at the start of combat, allow her to deny any of the foe's follow-up attacks if she intiates combat and is within the same HP threshold.

* ThePromise: [[spoiler:At Book III Chapter 13, Sharena made a promise with Eir to go on a hill and do some stargazing with her and Alfonse after they defeat Hel. A flashback in the same chapter has Eir made a similar promise with "Líf's" Sharena, but is left unfufilled unlike the main Sharena.]]

** In terms of design and gameplay-wise with his playable version, to New Year Duo Alfonse & Sharena, his decendants. While both Líf and Duo Alfonse & Sharena are {{Mighty Glacier}}s, have weapons that give them boost to their stats and change how many attacks that occur during combat, access to Open the Future as their special, Counter skills as their A skill, B skills that decrease their Special cooldown, self-buffing C Skills, and even having exclusive mechanics that benefit other units:

* MightyGlacier: {{Downplayed|trope}}, but he has fantastic Attack and good Defense, but average HP, Resistance and Speed.

* RedemptionPromotion: Unlike most OriginalGeneration villain characters that are made playable, the playable Líf is more powerful than his enemy variant, having 1 more stat in his Atk and Res, as well as access to the {{Secret Art}}s Open the Future and Deadly Balance.

* TheReveal: The end of Book III Chapter 8 and the "Cohort of the Dead" movie reveals that [[spoiler:"Líf" is not the undead first king of Askr, but acually an undead Alfonse from another Askr, ruined and devoid of life.]]

* ThemeSongReveal: In his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpTOkODXHIo release trailer]], it uses [[spoiler:the Book III boss theme for the majorty of the trailer, connecting "Líf" with that music, and by extension, the lyrics connecting to his motivation in Book III.]]

'''Artist:''' Yusuke Kozaki\\

* SquishyWizard: She has high Speed and Attack, decent HP and Resistance, but low Defense. Her playable version on the otherhand has fantastic Speed at 39, average HP, Attack and Resistance of 40, 33, and 27, respectively, but a low Defense of 23.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomoakiMaeno (Japanese), Edward Bosco (English)\\

* SignificantDoubleCasting: Only in the English version, but Edward Bosco voices both Gustav, Alfonse's father, and Líf. [[spoiler:However, the generation gap is much closer between Gustav and "Líf", as it is revealed during Book III that "Líf" is actually an older, omnicidal Alfonse from a ruined Askr.]]

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hel_crest_3.png]]

** Magic and Staff users not only strike her abysmal resistance, but can also bypass the Miracle effect that her Hel Scythe and Hel's Reaper gives her.

* DamageIncreasingDebuff: Her SecretArt Inevitable Death allows her to inflict -4 Atk/Spd/Def/Res to all foes within 2 spaces of the user during combat.

* SecretArt: She has Killing Intent, where if the enemy is either not at full HP or has a penalty, she inflicts -5 Spd/Res, and if she initiates combat, any follow up attack she makes will occur consecutively, allowing her to strike twice before the enemy can counterattack.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Type B. Eir wears black high heel boots that go up to her knees, which are visible on her damaged art.

** [[spoiler:Both of them share the same weapon and movement type, being Green Tome Infantry.]]
