History Characters / FireEmblemThreeHousesAshenWolves

** She's basically a completely different person when exposed to sunlight: she has separate likes and dislikes for shade and sunlight mode, and some of these are contradictory (e.g. liking 'showy spells' vs 'modesty'), indicating that this is more than just a shift in mood. It's indicated that her real/original personality is the shade mode, as characters who knew her in the past (before she lost her family) all react with confusion when they see her in sunlight.

* TheTwink: He is an attractive androgynous-looking young man and is bisexual as he can be romanced by both versions of Byleth.

* HasAType: Over half of her romantic paired endings are with explicitly bisexual men (Male Byleth, [[spoiler:Jeritza]], Yuri) and two out of three of her (platonic) same-sex endings are with explicitly bisexual women (Edelgard, Mercedes).

* ImpoverishedPatrician: As noted above in FallenPrincess. Averting the 'Impoverished' part has become her main goal.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration:
** Both Yuri and Hapi heat up quickly in the sauna due to Yuri being a Faerghus native and Hapi having spent significant time in Faerghus during her backstory.
** Prior to TheReveal in ''Cindered Shadows'', each time their Crests activate they will be displayed in battle and menus as "Mystery Crest" instead.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration:
** Discounting Byleth's Hidden Talent in Faith Magic and potential alignment, he's the only Lord with a Faith Magic growth boon. While it's low-key by his own admission, he is a follower of the Seiros faith, and he's also the only Lord to genuinely hold Rhea in high esteem. Furthermore, one of his favourite gifts is the Goddess Statuette.
** His leadership abilities as an underground boss is reflected in his Authority boon, while his fighting style gears him towards either magically inclined or [[FragileSpeedster swift-footed]] classes. His Personal Skill boosts his damage output when he's both two spaces or more away and not surrounded by allies, further playing into his Boon in Reason Magic and his Hidden Talent in bows.
** Contrasting the above are his banes in lances and axes, which clash with his preferred fighting style. He's also one of three units (the other two being Dorothea and Dedue) to have banes in both types of mounts; while his preferred fighting style may have something to do with it, an oft-missed piece of dialogue hints that Yuri has an allergy to some animals, namely horses and cats, likely hindering his ability to ride. Made easier to see in ''Three Hopes'', where Yuri's allergy to most animals comes up in his supports with Marianne.
** Due to [[spoiler:equal parts shyness, equal parts his checkered, unpleasant past as a prostitute at the Mittlefrank Opera house,]] Yuri does not like singing in public. He has a Faith EXP penalty for the Choir activity, and one of his disliked gifts is the Sheet Music set.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration:
** In a similar vein to [[HotBlooded Caspar]] and [[BigEater Raphael]], his heavy bulk and boisterous behavior gives him axe, brawling, and heavy armor boons. His lack of dexterity, aforementioned bulk, and preferred fighting style, naturally, give him banes in lance, bow, and flying growth.
** He's quite an enthusiastic believer in Fodlan's Goddess, and also finds value in his homeland's own traditions. These reflect in his Faith Magic boon.
** He has a Hidden Talent in Reason Magic. As noted on other parts of his section, Balthus is far more astute than others give him credit for and is excellent at both reading others and research when he puts the effort in.
** In ''Three Houses'', Balthus says that the Vajra-Mushti gauntlets aren't a real Heroes' Relic, but a replica. In ''Three Hopes'', obtaining the Vajra-Mushti doesn't count towards the achievement of obtaining all Heroes' Relics, nor does it have a standalone achievement for obtaining it like the other Relic weapons do.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration:
** Hapi is one of five units who can cast Dark Magic (and one of three whose Reason Magic lists are exclusively made of Dark spells), sharing this trait with Edelgard, Hubert, Lysithea, and [[spoiler:Jeritza]]. [[spoiler:Those who can cast Dark Magic inherently have had contact with those who slither in the dark, and in Hapi's case, she's a victim of experimentation like Edelgard and Lysithea, albeit her own experimentation was much different than theirs.]]
** While it's {{downplayed| trope}}, Hapi is an AnimalLover, giving her growth boons in both riding (which is picked as a focus for her default study plan) and flying. If you unlock her Hidden Talent in axes, one of Hapi's study plans that comes out of that has her explaining to the player that she finds axe-swinging to be a cathartic substitute when her urge to sigh comes about, despite the weapon not suiting her stat spread.
** On top of being far more suited for magically inclined mounted classes and a disdain for excessive violence (Banes in brawling and heavy armor), Hapi's exhaustion, apathy, and disdain for authority in general (and the Church in particular) manifests in both a growth penalty in Authority and a low Charm cap (43).
** One that's rather amusing; Hapi has had a bit of an unfortunate life. Her Luck stat? It's one of the worst in the game.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration:
** Constance's demeanor changes when she's exposed to sunlight, which is reflected in her personal ability, Circadian Beat (''Three Houses'') or Personality Shift (''Three Hopes''). Despite the description of her Circadian Beat ability stating that it changes effect depending on whether she is indoors or outdoors, in reality an overcast or rainy outdoor map will indeed trigger the "indoor" bonuses.
** Constance is extremely motivated to accomplish great things and get attention for them, to shine for all to see, and [[https://serenesforest.net/2020/02/23/three-houses-famitsu-dlc-interview-via-nintendo-everything-bonus-questions/ this interview]] confirms she was given the Dark Flier + Bolting combo specifically to help her really shine as a unit in the DLC.
** Constance has great magical prowess but is also [[AbsentMindedProfessor a bit scatterbrained]], creating spells with dubious utility or taking idioms too literally. In game, her spell list is powerful and they hurt... But she has a harder time landing or doubling them due to poor Dex and Spd growth, making her UnskilledButStrong compared to the more mainstream surface mages.
** One of her favorite gifts is Lily of the Valley, which symbolizes a return to happiness - her overall goal in restoring House Nuvelle.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: That being said, her personal ability in both ''Three Houses'' and ''Three Hopes'' does not account for the possibility of a map having both indoors and outdoors sections, or having the weather changed midway through the level. This can result in the odd sight of seeing Constance in her cheerful self while out in the sun or being gloomy when not exposed to sunlight.

* IronicName: "Hapi", despite her name, is the most cynical out of the Ashen Wolves.

* HappilyMarried: His paired ending with Constance explicitly describe their marriage as a happy one.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: She has noticeably darker skin compared to most of the other characters in the game and she stands out among other Ashen Wolves who have pale skin. The other characters who have darker skin are Dedue (who is of Duscur descent), Cyril (who is of Almyran descent) and Claude (who is [[spoiler:[[ButNotTooForeign half-Almyran]]]]). However, her parents are never seen or mentioned by name, making her ancestry ambiguous. Her hidden home village is also implied to be located in Fódlan, meaning she wouldn't have any heritage that comes from outside the continent.

** She has a very negative view of the Church of Seiros (though this softens on most routes), but if she is recruited on the Silver Snow route she ends up fighting in the war under the banner of the Church-aligned Resistance Army. And if she marries Byleth on the Azure Moon route, she becomes the wife of the [[spoiler:[[GoodShepherd Church's new archbishop]]]].

* TokenReligiousTeammate: Inverted. Out of all the Ashen Wolves, Hapi is the most critical of the Church of Seiros and will openly share her disdain for it with Byleth.
