History Characters / FireEmblemPathOfRadianceBeorcAllies

* TraumaticHaircut: In ''Radiant Dawn,'' when Shinon severs the rope that she's about to be hanged on with an arrow, taking some of her hair with it.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: In the first game, tells Ike that he can go to any bar on the ''continent'' and ask for a fireman, and Volke would show up within an ''hour.'' In the sequel, we find out what this means: Volke is known as the '''Extinguisher.'''

This page covers the beorc (Tellius term for human) allies to the Greil Mercenaries who debut as playable characters in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance''.

* OnlyAFleshWound: Has this to say for many of his training injuries. Once he ''gets an axe stuck in his head'' and only says [[CrowningMomentOfFunny "Ooh, that's sharp!"]]

'''Ike:''' [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Maybe I should just tell Mist he's dead...]]

->'''Class:''' Princess Crimea (''[=PoR=]''), Queen (''RD'')
->'''Voiced by:''' Juri Takita (Japanese), Erica Evans (English, ''[=PoR=]''), Creator/AmandaCelineMiller (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')

* MagicKnight: Her access to the magic swords can make her one in ''[=FE9=]''.

->'''Class:''' Axe Knight (''[=PoR=]''), Axe Paladin (''[=RD=]'')

->'''Class:''' Soldier (''[=PoR=]''), Halberdier (''[=RD=]'')

* FragileSpeedster: Nephenee starts out fast and has a really high speed growth (moreso in [=RD=] than [=PoR=]), though she has a lowish defense growth for her class.

* MagikarpPower: Mild example in ''[=PoR=]''; she's off to a slow start with only an E rank in Lances. It often takes using up a rare Arms Scroll to get her caught up in a timely manner. However, keep her around and she'll likely be one of your top fighters.

->'''Class:''' Knight (''[=PoR=]''), Axe General (''[=RD=]'')

* AnAxeToGrind: Switches to these instead in ''[=RD=]'' for some reason.

* BladeOnAStick: In ''[=PoR=]''.

* TechnicalPacifist: Invoked with his skill, Disarm in ''[=RD=]''.

->'''Class:''' Sage (''[=PoR=]''), Arch Sage (''[=RD=]'')

** [[spoiler:ThrowTheDogABone: Though if they share an A Support in ''[=RD=]'', they eventually date, but it never gets serious.]]

* GratuitousIambicPentameter: Does this all the time in ''Radiance'', eases up on it in ''Dawn''.
* KnifeNut: In ''[=FE9=]''.

** TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:By leaving Crimea on his expedition to Daein and hiring the Greil Mercenaries to watch Elincia's back, Bastian tricked Ludveck into his own defeat before the rebellion even began.]]

->'''Class:''' Swordmaster (''[=PoR=]'' and ''[=RD=]'')

->'''Class:''' Paladin (''[=PoR=]''), Lance Paladin (''[=RD=]'')

->'''Class:''' Mage (''[=PoR=]''), Thunder Mage (''[=RD=]'')

* AwesomeButImpractical: She's the most likely candidate to use Rexbolt (the S-Rank thunder tome, and one of few ultimate weapons not to be DummiedOut of the game); however, her low Strength and Speed means she won't be able to use it effectively in [=PoR=]. It's much, much more useful in ''Radiant Dawn''.

* PantyShot: Every battle before promotion in ''[=PoR=]''. Toned down in ''RD'' (Only visible when attacking through a barricade).

->'''Class:''' Thief (''[=PoR=]''), Assassin (''[=RD=]'')

* NoHeroDiscount: In ''[=RD=]'', it is set up to do this. [[spoiler:Never mind that the world's on the verge of ending, he will just stand there in 4-5 and watch the battle play out unless Elincia or Bastian goes to him and coughs up 3,000 gold. A true businessman to the end.]] {{Subverted|Trope}} when it turns out that [[spoiler:he comes with Peshkatz, the best throwing knife in the game, which will cost you a stifling ''12,900'' gold to buy another one of before the Endgame. So you're getting four times your money's worth on an awesome weapon, and essentially getting Volke (with his great stats and skills) for free. A ''very'' good deal indeed.]] Wait, that's not even the best part: [[spoiler:recruiting him is the only way to unlock a certain base convo before the Endgame, in which Volke unloads 20,000 gold into your coffers!]]
** Averted in-universe, though, since [[spoiler:Bastian is surprised that Volke "only" demands 3,000 gold and even calls it negligible compared to what Volke usually charges]].

* StickyFingers: In ''[=PoR=]'' only, he can lift weapons and items off of most units.

->'''Class:''' Myrmidon (''[=PoR=]''), Swordmaster (''[=RD=]'')

* CoolSword: Starts ''[=PoR=]'' with a Killing Edge, and is ''extremely'' effective with it.

->'''Class:''' Wyvern Rider/Dragonknight (''[=PoR=]'' and ''[=RD=]'')

* LightningBruiser: Grows into one upon promotion in both games. Noticeably in ''[=PoR=]'' where she's considered one of the most hideously strong characters in the game. ''RD'' less so but she's still effective.

A mysterious swordsman born from Daein who joins Ike's army in the Grann Desert hoping to speak to the beast laguz. He is one of the Branded; the descendent of a forbidden union between a beorc and a laguz, and leads a small village of his kind hidden in the desert.

->'''Class:''' Swordmaster (''[=PoR=]''), Trueblade (''[=RD=]'')

* MasterSwordsman: In both games, he already has his occult/mastery skill. In [=RD=], this merely means that he's already promoted to third tier, but in [=PoR=], Occult Scrolls are a rarity--''and'' he gives you one in a base conversation after recruiting him, making his recruitment the difference between having five units with occult skills and having just ''three''.

->'''Class:''' Halberdier (''[=PoR=]'' and ''[=RD=]'')

->'''Class:''' Sage (''[=PoR=]''), Fire Sage (''[=RD=]'')

->'''Class:''' General (''[=PoR=]''), Lance General (''[=RD=]'')

* CrutchCharacter: Big time in ''[=RD=]''. In part 1 he's only around for one chapter, but he's a whole promotion tier (and then some) ahead of all the enemies, and is nigh invincible. Come part 3, he loses much of that edge, but is still a [[StealthPun solid unit]].

->'''Class:''' Wyvern Lord/Dragonmaster (''[=PoR=]'' and ''[=RD=]'')

->'''Class:''' Berserker (''[=PoR=]'')

* AnAxeToGrind

* DemotedToExtra: The only unit in ''[=FE9=]'' to not be playable in the sequel (this is due to losing his arm in the interim between the two games).

->'''Class:''' Pegasus Knight (''[=PoR=]''), Falcon Knight (''[=RD=]'')

* ZettaiRyouiki: Most likely Type A. Only in [=PoR=], though, as all of the Pegasus units wear tights under their skirts in RD.

->'''Class:''' Bow Knight (''[=PoR=]''), Bow Paladin (''RD'')

* ArrangedMarriage: To [[SmugSnake Lekain]], of all people. Fortunately, she manages to escape before the marriage can take place. If you bring her into the Tower of Guidance in ''Dawn'', she can have the pleasure of offing him herself.

* StellarName: In Japanese. In English, her name is instead derived from Old Norse elements translating to "beautiful/beloved god", which is perhaps referenced by the mention of Astrid's beauty and prowess being known across the lands in her non-paired ''Dawn'' ending. Though her English name ''is'' fairly similar to Astra, another Latin word for Stars.

->'''Class:''' Sword Knight (''[=PoR=]''), Blade Paladin (''[=RD=]'')

->'''Class:''' Mage (''[=PoR=]''), Fire Sage (''[=RD=]'')

* ChildMage: He's 13-years-old and asks Callil to tutor him in magic in ''Path of Radiance,'' and 16 in ''Radiant Dawn.''
* CrutchCharacter: His availability in ''[=RD=]'' is among the worst. He joins near the end of Part 1, promoted to tier 2 already and kicking ass... then you [[PutOnTheBus don't see hide nor hair of the kid]] until two chapters before the end of ''Part '''4'''.'' By which point the rest of the world, and the game, has passed him by. He also can't keep up with Sothe's growth, literally.

->'''Class:''' Falcon Knight (''[=PoR=]'' and ''[=RD=]'')

* TookALevelInBadass: Both in the combat and attitude department. Not only is she strong, she learns to become a very competent and confident ruler after Act 2, who no longer takes shit from her senators and subordinates. Contrast the image above, with her later appearance, seen [[http://images.wikia.com/fireemblem/images/archive/f/f3/20100327181852!Ferd_Elincia.jpg here.]]

* SheathYourSword: When the Laguz and Begnion take the fight near Crimea's border, she marches alone between two opposing armies just to lay down her sword to maintain her stance of Crimea's neutrality in the war in ''Radiant Dawn''. Both sides respect the neutrality, but Valtome didn't.

* AntiHero: All that matters to him is gold and killing.
* CoolMask: After outing himself as an Assassin.

* ConsummateProfessional

* EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler:In ''[=RD=]'', and how. There's a good reason he waits until one chapter from the end to show up: he's getting off criticals 1/3rd of the time ''at least'', never mind when he activates Lethality!]]

* KnifeNut

* PunchClockHero
* ScarfOfAsskicking

** [[spoiler:SecretTestOfCharacter: Charges Ike with paying him 50,000 gold as a way of testing his maturity, and therefore his readiness to learn his father's secrets.]]
* SingleStrokeBattle: With his own personal skill as an Assassin class, he does have the ability to kill any enemy not classified as a [[ContractualBossImmunity final boss]]. (Regular bosses have a 25% chance of being hit by the skill compared to normal) Yes, even those he [[SoundOfNoDamage cannot even scratch normally]].

* TheStoic

* ConflictingLoyalty -- between his loyalty to Daein and the laguz in ''Radiant Dawn''. Lethe or Mordecai can convince him to defect without a second thought, even while he's on ''your'' side.

* TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest: It's heavily implied that his relationship with his girlfriend ended badly, and he explicitly states that he can never love again because of it.
* TheLostLenore: His girlfriend is heavily implied to have died.

* RecurringElement: The Navarre of Path of Radiance as an early-mid game enemy myrmidon. Comes with a killing edge and can only be recruited with someone he instinctively makes an exception to killing.

** In the english localization, She has a crush on her employee Ike, who either [[ObliviousToLove doesn't notice]] or [[CelibateHero doesn't care]] (likely because they were strictly platonic in the original Japanese dialogue).
** In both ''Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn'' (especially the latter, due to DubText ), she displays a strong affection for her lead knight and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend childhood friend]], Geoffrey. As well as his sister, Lucia.

* HalfHumanHybrid: As one of the Branded, he had a laguz ancestor. However, both of his parents were beorc and there's no way to know how far back in his lineage it was.

* LightningBruiser: In both games, he has above average HP, strength, defense, ''and'' resistance for someone in the Myrmidion class line, while retaining excellent skill and speed. A consequence of being descended from the [[MightyGlacier Lion Clan]].

* OddFriendship: With Mordecai in their supports.

* %%HiddenDepths

** Jill is notable in that [[spoiler: she's one of the few units in the entire series that can defect ''[[FaceHeelTurn from]]'' the player's side if you have her talk to her father when she doesn't have an A support with Mist or a B support with Lethe]].

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Yes, you can send her to fight her own father, you monster. [[spoiler: The game punishes you dearly for this by having her father ''recruit'' her, making her defect back to Daein for good if she doesn't have an A support with a party member.]]

* [[HiddenElfVillage Hidden Branded Village]]: The leader of one. [[spoiler: His ending has him turn it into its own country that he rules as king.]]

** She has a crush on her employee Ike, who either [[ObliviousToLove doesn't notice]] or [[CelibateHero doesn't care]].
** In both ''Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn'', she displays a strong affection for her lead knight and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend childhood friend]], Geoffrey. As well as his sister, Lucia.

* OfficialCouple: Although it may have looked like a possibility with Ike, ''Radiant Dawn'' put an end to it. Alternatively, Elincia could've simply outgrown her crush on Ike after two or three years of not seeing him, or realized that between his [[ChasteHero lack of reciprocation]] and his disdain for nobility, her ship with him had sailed. As alluded to in the above BodyguardCrush, if you get her an A Support with Geoffrey, they get married.

* MookMaker: Her "Reinforcements" skill in ''Path of Radiance'' allows her to summon 2 Pegasus Knights and a Falcon Knight in the map.

* RecurringElement: Half of the Cain and Abel Red and Green Knights duo, with Oscar. In Radiant Dawn he also has this relationship with Geoffrey as the other knight, and Elincia as the Lord.

** Her Soldier outfit (from Path of Radiance) and her Sentinel outfit (from Radiant Dawn) both also come to just over the knee, making it a borderline B/C.

A noble of Crimea who served the late Prince Renning. He went into hiding after the fall of Crimea, but returns to help Princess Elincia at the first opportunity. In Radiant Dawn he sends spies to check on Daein's recovery and also helps vanquish Crimean rebels. His manner of speech is poetic and difficult to grasp.

* InfinityMinusOneSword: He's the way you get the Brave Lance in both games, being in his inventory in Path of Radiance and gained through a base conversation that occurs in the same chapter you can first control him in Radiant Dawn.

* VictoriousChildhoodFriend[=/=]UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Depending on whether he gets the A-support with Elincia, he can end up as either one.

* AwesomeButImpractical: She's the most likely candidate to use Rexbolt (the S-Rank thunder tome, and one of few ultimate weapons not to be DummiedOut of the game); however, her low Strength and Speed means she won't be able to use it effectively in [=PoR=]. It's much, much more useful in Radiant Dawn.

* IOweYouMyLife: Her caravan friends found her collapsed and nursed her back to health, as such she decided to stay with them from them on.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Only in Radiant Dawn and only after promoting to second tier.

* ThinkNothingOfIt: [[spoiler:When reuniting with Ike in Radiant Dawn (just before the Tower of Guidance Endgame no less), Volke gives him the leftover gold from his contract during the Mad King's War. Ike expresses his gratitude for not just the money, but for his services and telling him of his father's past. Volke leaves rather quickly, embarrassed, which surprises Ike. Something of a PetTheDog moment.]]

* ConflictingLoyalty -- between his loyalty to Daein and the laguz in Radiant Dawn. Lethe or Mordecai can convince him to defect without a second thought, even while he's on ''your'' side.

* BladeOnAStick: Her main weapon of choice in Path of Radiance. Gains it upon promotion in Radiant Dawn.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Circa Path of Radiance, Jill is dour and openly racist, but also honorable, good-hearted, and committed to changing herself. Come Radiant Dawn, her heart of gold has taken over completely.

A sage from Daein who volunteered to help the Crimean army. She thinks highly of herself and is dating Largo. In Radiant Dawn, she is married to Largo and helps him manage the bar and raise their adopted daughter Amy. She still wears her magic robes and proclaims to be a first class magician, and is Tormod's magic tutor.

One of the Four Great Riders of Daein who disagrees with the intentions of King Ashnard. Tauroneo joins the Crimean Army's side out of respect for Ike's father and to help preserve Greil's legacy. In Radiant Dawn, he joins the Daein Liberation Army and is determined to help Daein recover.

* BladeOnAStick[=/=]HeroesPreferSwords: His equipment for ''[=PoR=]''. Replaces with the latter with AnAxeToGrind in ''[=RD=]'' and [[WeaponOfChoice can use the whole triangle at tier 3.]]

* BerserkButton: Begnion in general, and the Senate/their direct lackeys in particular. More pronounced in Radiant Dawn, where he joins up with Elincia and then later Ike and the Laguz Alliance for what he admits isn't much more than a chance to stick it to Begnion.

* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:In Path of Radiance, after Shiharam is killed, Haar decides to go down fighting against Petrine. His death quote also seems to imply it in Radiant Dawn.]]

A berserker from Daein who volunteered for the Crimean army and Calill's boyfriend. In Radiant Dawn he is no longer a mercenary due to losing his arm between the events of the two games. He owns a bar in the Crimean capital and has married Calill. Together, the two have adopted a girl named Amy and raised her as their own.

A former Begnion Pegasus Knight, Marcia was forced to leave in order to search for her idiot brother, Makalov. Ike first meets her when she is attacking a pirate ship; when he and his sellswords help her out of the jam she has gotten herself into, she joins them. At the end of Path of Radiance she says she will rejoin the Begnion military, but by the time of Radiant Dawn she works for Crimea instead.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar [=/=] DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Some WildMassGuessing has led fans to believe that Makalov's Herb in his inventory is a sign that he's basically a fantastic druggie. This wouldn't normally warrant being on the character page but, if you consider how much his sister tries to keep him on the straight and narrow to an extent that seems ''excessive'' for someone who's just plain lazy, it would make a ''lot'' of sense.

* CrutchCharacter ''and'' CantCatchUp: His availability in ''[=RD=]'' is among the worst. He joins near the end of Part 1, promoted to tier 2 already and kicking ass... then you [[PutOnTheBus don't see hide nor hair of the kid]] until two chapters before the end of ''Part '''4'''.'' By which point the rest of the world, and the game, has passed him by. He also can't keep up with Sothe's growth, literally.

%%* LeeroyJenkins: His introduction in Radiant Dawn.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: See CrutchCharacter[=/=]CantCatchUp. He gets a sendoff after part one escorting Rafiel to Gallia. While Rafiel forms the impetuous for Part 3's plot, Tormod is strangely absent despite the fact that he should have an interest in the subject at hand. While he does turn up again, it is never explained where he had disappeared to while [[spoiler:Begnion and the Laguz Alliance were at war.]]

* CoolSword[=/=]BlowYouAway: Starts with a sword that can control wind.

* RecurringElement: Relatively, she's the Palla of Path of Radiance as the eldest most responsible Pegasus, with Marcia as Catria and Elincia as Est. In Radiant Dawn she's the Catria, Marcia and Sigrun become Est and Palla, a much straighter interpretation.

* TheDragon: To General Shiharam.

** In both ''9'' and ''10'', she displays a strong affection for her lead knight and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend childhood friend]], Geoffrey. As well as his sister, Lucia.

* BewaretheNiceOnes: Just because she is gentle by nature, doesn't mean she will not do what must be done for her people
-->'''Elincia:''' Better the cat is busy pursuing the queen rat than pawing at her subjects.
-->'''Avatar:''' Heh, I see. A diversion. That's very noble... But it works only so long as the queen doesn't get caught.
-->'''Elincia:''' Indeed. That's why I summoned a new toy for the cat to play with—you.
-->'''Avatar:''' So basically, we're Elincia's meat shield... She's a more brutal strategist than she looks.

See Character/FireEmblemTelliusRadiantDawn for more information.

* [[ABoyAndHisX A Boy and His Laguz]]: His relationship with Muarim.

* MookMaker: Her "Reinforcements" skill can do this for your side.
** She can summon a Falcon Knight that is STRONGER than her with it. Unfortunately, this skill was removed in ''Radiant Dawn''.

* RetiredBadass: Marching alone between two opposing armies just to lay down her sword in ''Radiant Dawn'' qualifies her as this.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Of ''Path of Radiance''.

* BadassGrandpa

* ConflictingLoyalty -- between his loyalty to Daein and the laguz in Radiant Dawn.

* HiddenDepths

[[caption-width-right:297:''[[TheChessmaster Crimea's Keystone]]'']]

A noble of Crimea who served the late Prince Renning. He went into hiding after the fall of Crimea, but returns to help Princess Elincia at the first opportunity. In Radiant Dawn he sends spies to check on Daein's recovery and also helps vanquish Crimean rebels. His manner of speech is poetic and difficult to grasp.

->'''Class:''' Sage (''[=PoR=]''), Arch Sage (''[=RD=]'')

* AbhorrentAdmirer: She's gentle about it, but it's clear Lucia does not return Bastian's feelings.
** [[spoiler:ThrowTheDogABone: Though if they share an A Support in ''[=RD=]'', they eventually date, but it never gets serious.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer
* BlowYouAway: A Sage who specializes in Wind magic.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Bastian acts like a loquacious clown on the surface, hiding the fact that he's actually almost intimidatingly brilliant. [[spoiler:Ludveck discovers this the hard way.]]
* GratuitousIambicPentameter: Does this all the time in ''Radiance'', eases up on it in ''Dawn''.
* KnifeNut: In ''[=FE9=]''.
* LargeHam: Bastian is far more reserved than the typical example, but his hilariously Shakespearean manner and speech definitely qualify him regardless.
* MotorMouth: At one point, Ike even tells him to shut up.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: During Daein's occupation of Crimea, Bastian laid low by disguising himself as a street performer. Or is he a street performer disguised as a court official? Good question.
--> '''Elincia:''' I'm sure it suited him perfectly. Did he juggle and gambol about? Hee hee!!
* TheSpymaster
* TheStrategist: Especially in ''Radiant Dawn''.
** TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:By leaving Crimea on his expedition to Daein and hiring the Greil Mercenaries to watch Elincia's back, Bastian tricked Ludveck into his own defeat before the rebellion even began.]]
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Bastian generally sounds like he's eternally attempting to quote Hamlet.

[[folder:Lucia ''(Luchino)'']]
[[quoteright:272:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1000px-Lucia_Artwork_FE10_8161.png]]
[[caption-width-right:272:''[[TheConsigliere Tireless Advisor]]'']]

A swordfighter who serves as Elincia's personal bodyguard and retainer, as well as her friend and confidant. In the palace she has direct control over soldiers and has the benefit of unrestrictive conduct. She is Geoffrey's older sister. A loyal swordmaster.

->'''Class:''' Swordmaster (''[=PoR=]'' and ''[=RD=]'')

* AmbiguouslyBi: In addition to her possible affair with Bastian after ''Radiant Dawn'', Lucia loves Elincia dearly and, in their support conversations in ''Path of Radiance'', regards Ilyana as follows:
-->'''Lucia:''' Well, well... Look at this cute little thing.
* CantCatchUp: ''Path of Radiance'' has her with amazing growths on par with the Laguz but very few levels to make use of them. ''Radiant Dawn'' gives her a grand total of one playable chapter before Part 4, and she won't have the stats to keep up without plenty of babying (though bringing her up to competence isn't exactly difficult, just resource-intensive).
* CoolBigSis: Essentially Elincia's adoptive elder sister to begin with, Lucia can also go on to play this role to Ilyana in their supports in ''Path of Radiance''.
* DefiantToTheEnd: At the end of part 2 of ''Radiant Dawn'', when [[spoiler:she is about to be executed by the rebellion, she defiantly proclaims her loyalty to the true queen of Crimea, Elincia. [[BigDamnHeroes Cue Ike]]]].
* FragileSpeedster: In ''Radiant Dawn'', and moreso than most Swordmasters, at that. Lucia's absurd Speed may make her virtually impossible to hit, but her absolutely terrible Defense stat ensures that any attack that actually ''does'' land will almost certainly be the end of her.
* PeekABangs: Her look.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Elincia, though the "heterosexual" part is a little blurred.
* LadyOfWar: Lucia hits all the notes: pretty, elegant, and unfailingly composed, with an affinity for the [[CoolSword ornate]] Silver Sword. She's the princess' bodyguard, so she definitely knows her way around a fight.
* SequenceBreaking: ''Radiant Dawn'' Lucia has Swordmaster models for before and after her haircut, but her Trueblade model is only for after. This is because the Japanese version required units to use items to promote, as per series standard; therefore, Lucia wouldn't have been able to promote before her haircut. The US version removed this requirement, allowing promotion by leveling up past Level 20. This means that should Lucia solo 2-2 and get enough experience to promote, she will already have undergone her haircut before it happens in the story. [[BellisariosMaxim Don't think too hard about]] [[{{Squick}} where Ludveck gets the hair to send to Elincia]] in this case.
* SupremeChef: She's another good cook, according to Ilyana.
* TraumaticHaircut: In ''Radiant Dawn,'' when Shinon severs the rope that she's about to be hanged on with an arrow, taking some of her hair with it.
* [[TheManTheyCouldntHang The Woman They Couldn't Hang]]: At the end of part 2 of ''Radiant Dawn''.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Light blue, the same as her brother Geoffrey's.

[[caption-width-right:284:''[[TheChampion Protector of the Realm]]'']]

An extremely loyal knight of the Crimean Royal Army and Kieran's superior. He is the commander of the palace knights and is renowned for being a strait-laced and honest figure who often gets aggravated with the Crimean nobles. He is a childhood friend of Elincia and is the younger brother of Lucia.

->'''Class:''' Paladin (''[=PoR=]''), Lance Paladin (''[=RD=]'')

* BladeOnAStick: His normal weapons.
* {{Bishonen}}
* BodyguardCrush: On Elincia. It's so painfully obvious that Calill gives up on him without even trying.
* TheChampion: Elincia's.
* Determinator: If it is anything to go by
-->'''Geoffrey:''' You insult me, sir. I have lived no fairy tale, either. I was left kingdomless, masterless—but I fought through that destruction. I believe I can face my fate head-on and dash it aside!
* FlatCharacter: He's loyal to Elincia and that's pretty much the sum of his characterisation. His sister Lucia gets way more focus and development.
* JackOfAllStats: His stats are well-balanced in both games.
* KnightInShiningArmor: As a paladin, but he's a noble defender of Elincia and his homeland of Crimea.
* LadyAndKnight: The knight to Elincia's lady.
* RecurringElement: Toward's Elincia he can be part of Cain and Abel with Kieran, or the Jeigan/Oifey stand alone.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Kieran's red.
* SatelliteCharacter: A ''lot'' of his characterization revolves around his loyalty to Elincia.
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend[=/=]UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Depending on whether he gets the A-support with Elincia, he can end up as either one.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Elincia and Crimea as a whole. It's his defining character trait.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Light blue, the same as his sister Lucia's.

[[folder:Kieran ''(Kevin)'']]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Kieran_8500.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''[[TheMunchausen Veteran Knight]]'']]

A member of the Crimean Royal Knights and an old friend/rival of Oscar's, Kieran is brave, courageous, and more than a tad foolhardy. Rescued from a Daein prison by the Greil Mercenaries, he joins the Crimean Liberation Force to help win Elincia's throne back.

->'''Class:''' Axe Knight (''[=PoR=]''), Axe Paladin (''[=RD=]'')

* AnAxeToGrind: His main weapon.
* AssShove: Implied:
-->'''Kieran''': "This one time a sellsword tried to jam hot coals inside my--"
* AwesomeButImpractical: His special skill, Gamble, which drastically increases the chances of a critical hit but also dramatically lowers accuracy.
* BadassBoast: In ''Radiant Dawn'' should he fight Valtome:
-->'''Kieran''': “I will brook no insult to my queen or my armor! You face Kieran, second commander of the Royal Knights...and your doom!”
* CloudCuckooLander: Kieran is off in his own little world a lot of the time.
* FieryRedhead: To say that he's excitable and energetic would be an {{understatement}}.
* '''GenkiGuy''': He's overflowing with energy and passion.
* HotBlooded: With his tendency towards throwing himself into danger, he pretty much has to be.
* '''{{Keet}}''': So much that we had to add ''both'' this and GenkiGuy.
* LargeHam: It's much easier to count the instances where he's ''not'' yelling about something.
* LightningBruiser: Although his character focuses on strength, he gets pretty fast too. Becomes less so in ''Radiant Dawn'', where he's a JackOfAllStats.
* TheMunchausen: He's always ready to boast about his great adventures and battles.
* LeeroyJenkins: Kieran is not exactly subtle with his approach to battle.
* NoodleIncident: Quite a few. He's very eager to tell Rhys about the time he fought the "Giant Scorpions" or the "Mad Crocodile", but Rhys never lets him finish because of how violent his tales tend to be.
* NoIndoorVoice: He tends to yell most of the things he says.
* OnlyAFleshWound: Has this to say for many of his training injuries. Once he ''gets an axe stuck in his head'' and only says [[CrowningMomentOfFunny "Ooh, that's sharp!"]]
* TheRival: To Oscar, although Oscar just [[UnknownRival seems oblivious]] to Kieran's constant attempts to affirm himself as Oscar's rival (or ignores him altogether).
** FriendlyRival: He may want to show Oscar up, but he certainly doesn't dislike him, and actually seems to think the two of them are buddies.
* RecurringElement: Half of the Cain and Abel Red and Green Knights duo, with Oscar. In Radiant Dawn he also has this relationship with Geoffrey as the other knight, and Elincia as the Lord.
* RedOniBlueOni: He's the Red Oni to either Oscar or Geoffrey's Blue Oni.
* TheResenter: To Oscar, who left the Crimean knights and who Kieran had always considered a rival.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Rhys' sensitive guy.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Crimea. His establishing character moment is loudly declaring that he'll never talk no matter what torture his jailers put him through, to Brom's horror.
* UnknownRival: To Oscar.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Oscar and/or Geoffrey, depending on the game.

A Crimean farm girl from a small peasant village, Nephenee was recruited into the militia during the war with Daein. Shy, nervous, and terrified of embarassing herself with her rural manners and heavy accent, Nephenee nevertheless joins the Crimean Liberation Force to aid in freeing her homeland. Develops into fierce soldier, though her humble personality never changes.

->'''Class:''' Soldier (''[=PoR=]''), Halberdier (''[=RD=]'')
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MakikoOhmoto (Japanese), Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (English) (''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')

* BadassAdorable: Quiet, shy, nervous in company, and will ''skewer'' your punk ass if you try and hurt her friends. On top of that, with her great growth rates in both games, you can be assured that she mostly will always turn into a juggernaut in battle.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Quiet, shy, polite, and has zero self esteem. Along with Brom, she pretty much puts down a rebellion in her town single handedly. She also consistently comes with a [[TurnsRed skill]] that essentially turns her into a more capable killer if you pissed her off enough.
* BladeOnAStick: As a Soldier, she specialises in Lances.
* CountryMouse: Like Brom, she speaks with a rural accent in all versions.
* [[FarmBoy Farm Girl]]: And not so proud of it, at least not her accent.
* FragileSpeedster: Nephenee starts out fast and has a really high speed growth (moreso in [=RD=] than [=PoR=]), though she has a lowish defense growth for her class.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Averted, she never takes her Soldier helmet off. Perhaps this is why there's a fair amount of fanart imagining what she'd look like if [[SheCleansUpNicely she ditched the helmet]].
* LightningBruiser: If one gets lucky with her strength growth, and/or exploits Bexp to force strength up, Nephenee is quite capable of becoming this.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Has one as part of her uniform, not that it directly affects gameplay.
* MagikarpPower: Mild example in ''[=PoR=]''; she's off to a slow start with only an E rank in Lances. It often takes using up a rare Arms Scroll to get her caught up in a timely manner. However, keep her around and she'll likely be one of your top fighters.
* MassivelyNumberedSiblings: Her supports with Brom reveal she's the oldest of 5 siblings, all of whom she had to leave behind.
* NotSoStoic: She looks like a stoic, badass soldier girl, but when you read her dialogue, she actually turns out to be a ShrinkingViolet CountryMouse.
* PantyShot: In ''Path of Radiance'', you can see up her skirt when she attacks. It's more noticeable when she performs a critical hit.
* PerpetualFrowner: Several people she supported with are noting that she rarely smiles, but it's not because she doesn't like smiling.
* PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''.
-->"Gonna get ya!"
-->"Can't lose!"
-->"Comin' through!"
-->"YOU!"
* TheQuietOne: She prefers not to talk because of her accent.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Calill tries to get her to [[TheGlassesGottaGo remove her helmet]] and use some makeup in their support conversations. Well, she tries anyway.
* ShrinkingViolet: She's very embarrassed about her heavy accent, and gets a but flustered with the attention Calill lavishes upon her.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Calill's Girly Girl.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Light green, to be exact.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Her Halberdier outfit is Grade A.
** Her Soldier outfit (from Path of Radiance) and her Sentinel outfit (from Radiant Dawn) both also come to just over the knee, making it a borderline B/C.

A Crimean farmer who joined the militia in the war against Daein. He's a family man with five sons and three daughters, and bravely fights with the Greil Mercenaries in the Mad King's War. He's intensely afraid of being tortured.

->'''Class:''' Knight (''[=PoR=]''), Axe General (''[=RD=]'')

* AnAxeToGrind: Switches to these instead in ''[=RD=]'' for some reason.
* BigFun: He's the roundest of the playable characters, and a cheerful NiceGuy too.
* BladeOnAStick: In ''[=PoR=]''.
* CoolOldGuy: He's middle-aged, it seems, but joins the Crimean Liberation Force to free his homeland from Daein.
* TheEveryman: He's a regular old farmer with a family to take care of.
* FarmBoy: Lived as a farmer in the countryside until Daein's invasion of Crimea, and joined up with the Liberation Force shortly after.
* GentleGiant: He's very kind to Nephenee and Zihark, and is the father of ''8'' children.
* MightyGlacier: Decent Strength and Defense, but a very subpar speed growth.
* NiceGuy: He's jovial and affable guy, and is good friends with Nephenee and Zihark.
* ReluctantWarrior: If he had a choice, he'd be back on his farm with his family.
* ShipperOnDeck: He constantly tries to set Zihark up with one of his daughters in their support conversations. Becomes a BrickJoke in ''Radiant Dawn'' when one of his daughters actually shows up.
* StoutStrength: He's got a pretty decent strength growth despite his weight.
* TechnicalPacifist: Invoked with his skill, Disarm in ''[=RD=]''.

* BadassCreed: "I am the desert, and I brook no intrusions. Make peace with your goddess."

* EleventhHourRanger: In ''Radiant Dawn''.

* GuideDangIt: Everything about recruiting Stefan in ''Path of Radiance'' is this. To get him, you not only need to know that a hidden character is present in Chapter 15 (with the only hint being a Base Conversation with rumors of seeing a figure to the east), you need to step on a ''specific'' spot that you have no reason to go to in the first place. Even then, recruiting Stefan (and not just him giving you his Vague Katti as a gift) requires a Laguz to step there, which is indicated nowhere. The most painful part about all this is that even those who can live without another Swordsman (the player already has two myrmidons) will definitely want the highly valuable Occult Scroll that he has, since there's only 4 in the game total.
