[[caption-width-right:350:''Taciturn Devotee'']]
->''"If you spent too much time around a man of Duscur, there will be rumors."''
A commoner from Duscur, a region located in the north-western areas of Faerghus. He owes Dimitri a great debt, and because of it, will protect the prince as his vassal even at the cost of his own life. Despite his stern and stoic appearance, he is actually quite calm and gentle.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: His skin is quite tan for someone from a snowy region.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He explains his extreme loyalty to Dimitri as being the result of the prince treating him with dignity and kindness after the destruction of Duscur, even when Duscurians were despised and treated poorly by much of Faerghus’ citizenry.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: His light grey hair stands out against his skintone.
* DefendCommand: With his personal skill Liege’s Shield, if he just waits without doing anything else, he gets a 4 point boost in Defense for one turn.
* FantasticRacism: A victim of it: His Duscur origins make many of Faerghus’ citizens dislike and abuse him, and he goes so far as to warn people away from associating with him for fear it will taint the other person’s reputation.
* {{Foil}}: He and Hubert are presented as being this. Both of them are loyal to their lord and will not go against them in no matter what. The reasons why though are vastly different. Dedue owes Dimitri for sparing his life when they were younger, while Hubert serves Edelgard out of family tradition. They both are aware of the faults their lord has, but they handle it differently: Dedue blindly follows Dimitri and does what he says, while Hubert tries to take the initiative and [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork be the bad guy]] for the sake of protecting Edelgard. Deude is also scary looking but warm and kindly, while Hubert is hostile to almost everyone and looks the part. Even their gameplay roles are different, with Dedue being a physical brawler, while Hubert is a ranged attacker.
* GentleGiant: He looks intimidating, but his personality is gentle and he also enjoys gardening.
* IOweYouMyLife: Dimitri risking his life to save Dedue's is part of the reason Dedue is unfalteringly loyal to him and concerned with guarding him closely.
* MightyGlacier: He’s got great physical defense, high HP and good strength, but low speed and his penalty to horseback skills limits his movement options. With his stats, he works well as an armor knight or fighter.
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: He cannot be poached from the Blue Lions, and will never fight directly alongside Edelgard, Hubert, or Claude.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: In his support with Felix, he says with conviction that he’s so loyal to Dimitri that he would without hesitation do heinous things, like massacring women and children, should the prince be involved in it.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:He uses a crest stone to willingly transform into a demonic beast during the Black Eagles route, all to ensure Dimitri achieves victory.]]
* RealMenWearPink: A stong, powerful-looking soldier whose hobbies include needlework.
* ScaryBlackMan: He’s tall, solidly-built, fairly stoic and often wearing a severe expression, but past his intimidating appearance, he’s gentle and fiercely loyal to his lord.
* SupremeChef: His cooking is apparently quite delectable, to the point that a stunned Flayn declares him the best cook she's ever encountered in her [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld very long life]].
* TerseTalker: He's not one for small talk, to say the least. This is in part due to a concern that anyone seen associating with him will be slandered due to the perception of Duscurians. He and Shamir actually bond over this shared trait in their support.
* UndyingLoyalty:
** He's staunchly loyal to Dimitri, and will not abandon him under any circumstances.
** He is so loyal in fact that [[spoiler:after Edelgard kills Dimitri during the Golden Deer route, Dedue hunts her down and kills her in revenge if Byleth spares her. On the Black Eagles route he will give his life to turn into a demonic beast to ensure Dimitri's victory, even getting soldiers with the same level of loyalty to also turn willingly alongside him.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''Sincerest of Knights'']]
->''"Playing around with girls is the most fun a guy can have. Besides, I don't care what you think of me. I don't intend to change how I live my life."''
The successor to the house of Margrave Gautier at the border. He cares for his friends, and is admired as an older brother figure in his class, but his fondness for sweet-talking girls is unmatched, such that he has endless troubles. He has an elder brother who was removed as the heir due to not possessing a Crest.
He bears the minor Crest of Gautier of the Ten Elites.
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: While a woman-chaser, he seems pretty eager to [[spoiler:settle down with Felix in their paired ending.]]
* AncestralWeapon: Sylvain gains possession of House Gautier’s relic, the Lance of Ruin, [[spoiler:either after his brother Miklan's defeat in chapter 5, if Byleth refuses to relinquish the lance to Rhea, or after Miklan's gang is dealt with in the Paralogue "The Forgotten" if Byleth agrees to give up the lance. Unlike his brother,]] Sylvain's Crest allows him to wield it safely.
* AnAxeToGrind: One of his starting proficiencies is in axes, and it’s half of his original study goals alongside lances.
* BrilliantButLazy: He's highly intelligent and insightful, but admits he dislikes hard work and would rather coast through having fun.
* CainAndAbel: Sylvain claims that his older brother Miklan so resented him for being the favorite child due to his Crest that he wanted Sylvain dead, and [[spoiler:if Sylvain talks to Miklan in chapter 5, Miklan urges Sylvain to "hurry up and die."]]
* CasanovaWannabe: He has a troublesome fondness for sweet-talking girls. If one plays a female Byleth, he'll be one of the fastest students to switch houses.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Dimitri, Ingrid, and Felix.
* CoolBigBro: Seen as one by his classmates, and according to Sylvain, when Felix was younger, looked up to Sylvain and treated him like an older brother. He often offers his comrades advice or assists them in solving their problems.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: During the cutscene introducing the houses and students, Sylvain tries flirting with Ingrid only to be rejected with a backhand punch.
* {{Foil}}:
** He and Dimitri are pretty much direct opposites; Sylvain is easygoing, fun-loving and lighthearted, while Dimitri is serious, responsible, and in Sylvain's words, "uptight." Highlighted by their support chain, where Sylvain promises to act more responsibly if Dimitri will lighten up.
** He and Ingrid are polar opposites; Ingrid is serous, straightforward, responsible and presents as the picture of a traditional, reliable knight. Sylvain is relaxed, somewhat irresponsible, has a fondness for joking around and tends to get into trouble.
* HiddenDepths:
** Sylvain despite being a skirt chaser, [[spoiler:actually holds the women he has flings with in contempt, feeling they only want to be with him so that they might become the mother of a child bearing a Crest. He feels unable to form proper romances with women because of this.]]
** Despite starting out as a basic foot soldier, he actually has a pretty good aptitude for magic, this being his budding talent. He is able to easily understand a book of magic that Annette struggles with, and one of his requirements for recruiting is in fact for Byleth to have a high Reason stat.
** He also believes the people of Duscar are innocent in [[spoiler:the conspiracy to kill the previous king of Faerghus]] and gives a number of reasons why he thinks so.
** In his support conversation with Ashe, Sylvain reveals that he holds genuinely heroic beliefs, saying that it’s a knight’s job to protect and help out anyone and everyone who needs it. A surprised Ashe even remarks that, were it not for his philandering and troublemaking, Sylvain would be a great person.
* HumbleHero: In his support with Annette, he's quick to downplay his intelligence and the fact that he picked up on a magic formula that she struggled with by saying that he just got lucky with it.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: The laid-back Sylvain has a habit of making off-color jokes during tense situations, or other lighthearted, potentially offensive remarks in serious situations that annoy others. Notably, he's on the recieving end of a slap from Ingrid after suggesting that [[spoiler:Flayn went missing because she eloped in chapter 6.]] He's got a habit of not bothering to filter his thoughts before he speaks them.
* JackOfAllStats: His growths are well-balanced, making him well-rounded overall.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be rude, smug, and even callous when it comes to the feelings of others, especially those of the women he dates, but he's a genuinely outgoing, friendly person and ultimately well-meaning.
* LoveableRogue: He tends to skirt the boundaries of responsibility and cares little for the consequences of his actions, but he’s a charming and kind guy regardless.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He wants people to see him as a brainless skirt-chaser, even though he's anything but. Perhaps best illustrated in his C-Support with Annette, where he instantly understands and is able to critique a book that she had been having trouble with and then tries to make up excuses about why he could, like pretending he'd read the book before or just got lucky.
* ParentalFavoritism: Because their father valued Crests so much, the moment Sylvain was born with one instantly made him the favorite over his older brother Miklan. Noticeably, however, Sylvain seems a bit sympathetic to his older brother, though he doesn't hesitate to state that he hated how selfish and egotistical Miklan would get over it.
* SmarterThanYouLook: While on the surface Sylvain is just another foppish flirt of which there have been several in the series, he is actually very intelligent and insightful when he wants to be.
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: He doesn't hesitate to call out Miklan as selfish and egotistical after his death, even admitting he ''should'' NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead, but his brother earned it for the hell he put him through in childhood.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: His philandering began to show itself at a worryingly young age. When he was eight years old he flirted with Ingrid's grandmother, which she does not let him live down.
* YoungestChildWins: Because he inherited a Crest while his older brother Miklan didn't, Sylvain is the heir to his house.
* YourCheatingHeart: He thinks nothing of dating multiple girls at the same time; Byleth can catch him in the middle of the fallout of one of his dates getting upset at him about it.

----

** In her support with Mercedes, the two bond over their shared situation of being hassled by marriage proposals they have no interest in. Ingrid muses that it's something that makes them NotSoDifferent.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She’s got long blonde hair and aspires to be a noble knight while also being one of the most approachable, kind and well-adjusted characters of the cast.
* ImpoverishedPatrician: Despite being nobility, her family is not wealthy at all, on account of holding territory that is inadequate for agricultural use.

* NiceGirl: Ingrid is a thoughtful, mature, and friendly young woman.

* SpiritedYoungLady: Despite her status as a young noblewoman, Ingrid vehemently refuses to allow herself to be used as a pawn to be married off at her father's behest, determined to focus on training as a knight. That's not to say she doesn't love her father, as she repeatedly states she's touched by his concern for her, but he's unbelievably stubborn on the marriage subject.
* TeamMom: She tries her hardest to keep Felix and Sylvain out of trouble, and in her support with Sylvain rants in exasperation at having to clean up after his philandering.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Has this dynamic with Annette in their support; Ingrid is the training-focused girl unconcerned with her appearance beyond basic hygiene, while Annette enjoys traditionally feminine pursuits like putting on makeup. Despite Ingrid’s protests, in the end, Annette manages to trick Ingrid into putting on some makeup anyway.
* WeaponOfChoice: She has higher growth rates with lances than other weapons.

He bears the major Crest of Fraldarius of the Ten Elites.
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: [[spoiler:His paired endings with Dimitri and Sylvain contain oodles of HoYay that are impossible to ignore.]] Oddly enough, this doesn't extend to male Byleth (though female Byleth is a romance option).
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He's extremely proud of his sword skill, fairly antisocial, and tends to trash talk enemies he defeats.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Has this in his supports with Dorothea, where he's irritated by her attempts to get to know him better and she's irritated by his jerkish behavior. However, they end up truly bonding and respecting, [[spoiler:and even have a paired ending where they get married.]]
* BloodKnight: He's always on the hunt for strong, skilled warriors to challenge in battle.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Dimitri, Ingrid, and Sylvain.
* TheCynic: He believes wholeheartedly that idealism, honor and nobility are purely for fools, and that writers of idealistic stories control peoples' thoughts.
* GlassCannon: He’s got pretty good strength and speed growths, and his Crest has a chance of raising the might of his weapon when attacking, though his low defense and resistance means he relies on dodging and can’t take much punishment.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Knew how to swing a sword before he learned how to write, as is tradition in his homeland. His stats also make him an ideal fit for sword-wielding classes like Myrmidon.
* IWorkAlone: This is reflected in his personal skill, Solitary Wolf. The skill gives him 5 extra points of damage if he has no battalion accompanying him, either due to not having been assigned a battalion at all or having his battalion wiped out.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Felix is rather cruel towards Dimitri, calling him little more than a savage boar. It seems like Felix is just being an ass, but [[spoiler:as Dimitri's sanity begins to slip, it becomes clear that Felix isn't entirely wrong about Dimitri.]]
* JerkassRealization: A rather tragic example in one of his endings. [[spoiler:After spending years wandering the continent aimlessly as a mercenary, he runs into Lysithea who is living a perfectly happy life as a baker despite being on death's door at that point. Seeing her managing to be happy in spite of her impending death makes him realise how he's been wasting his life, and after she passes he takes over the bakery in her steed.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be rude, snide, judgemental and even confrontational, but underneath it all, he does genuinely care about the well-being of his comrades; in their support chain, Ashe compares him to a sarcastic and snide, but still caring protagonist of one of his favorite knightly tales.
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: In his support chain with Ashe, he mocks and talks down the idea of the KnightInShiningArmor, honor and idealism.
* SpiritedCompetitor: Challenging those he sees as {{Worthy Opponent}}s to spars is one of his favorite things to do.
* {{Tsundere}}: One of the most clear-cut male examples in the entire franchise. He's arrogant, brash, shows open disdain for chivalry, and prefers sparring over social interaction. Yet those who become close to him through supports can get many glimpses of his dere side.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: According to Sylvain, Felix used to be "meek and cute," and looked up to him like a big brother. Felix doesn't like revisiting the memory.
* WallPinOfLove: As befitting a tsundere, he does this to Byleth in his S-rank CG.
* WellDoneSonGuy: In his A support with Byleth, Felix admits that he's been chasing his brother's shadow ever since his death. His paralogue makes it abundantly clear that his relationship with his father is strained because of "difference of opinion".
* WeUsedToBeFriends: While he was once the best of friends with Dimitri an event before the beginning of the story has put a serious strain on his relationship with him, to the point that he freely describes Dimitri as a monster. Namely, [[spoiler:he saw Dimitri acting so savagely in their first battle together that he couldn't even believe it was him, and considering what a BloodKnight Felix is, that's saying something.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is dark blue.
* YouMonster: He outright calls Dimitri a 'boar' and a monster in their support chain, disgusted with [[spoiler:how bloodily the prince fought during the Duscur incident.]] He calls Dedue a monster as well in their support chain after the former's UndyingLoyalty to Dimitri has him claiming he would commit heinous actions, like massacring women and children, without hesitation should the prince be involved in said situations.

* RichesToRags: This girl did not have an easy life. To wit, she was born into a noble family in the Adrestian Empire, but her father passed away when she was young, leading to her and her mother falling on hard times. They would move to Faerghus to seek a better life, with her mother remarrying to a noble. This marriage produced a son who bore a Crest, but also led to her step-father having [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness no further use]] for her mother, and casting them out while she was still ''ten years old''.

* CloseToHome: In his supports with Byleth, he chases down a thief who stole a rare and valuable book. After the thief says he has a sick child and needed the money to support them, Ashe decides to pay for the book in his stead. Byleth points out that it could have easily been a false sob story used to gain Ashe's sympathy, but Ashe admits that he turned to thievery himself for the same reasons when he was younger.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/feth_dedue_portrait_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Taciturn Devotee'']]
->''"If you spent too much time around a man of Duscur, there will be rumors."''
A commoner from Duscur, a region located in the north-western areas of Faerghus. He owes Dimitri a great debt, and because of it, will protect the prince as his vassal even at the cost of his own life. Despite his stern and stoic appearance, he is actually quite calm and gentle.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: His skin is quite tan for someone from a snowy region.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He explains his extreme loyalty to Dimitri as being the result of the prince treating him with dignity and kindness after the destruction of Duscur, even when Duscurians were despised and treated poorly by much of Faerghus’ citizenry.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: His light grey hair stands out against his skintone.
* DefendCommand: With his personal skill Liege’s Shield, if he just waits without doing anything else, he gets a 4 point boost in Defense for one turn.
* FantasticRacism: A victim of it: His Duscur origins make many of Faerghus’ citizens dislike and abuse him, and he goes so far as to warn people away from associating with him for fear it will taint the other person’s reputation.
* {{Foil}}: He and Hubert are presented as being this. Both of them are loyal to their lord and will not go against them in no matter what. The reasons why though are vastly different. Dedue owes Dimitri for sparing his life when they were younger, while Hubert serves Edelgard out of family tradition. They both are aware of the faults their lord has, but they handle it differently: Dedue blindly follows Dimitri and does what he says, while Hubert tries to take the initiative and [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork be the bad guy]] for the sake of protecting Edelgard. Deude is also scary looking but warm and kindly, while Hubert is hostile to almost everyone and looks the part. Even their gameplay roles are different, with Dedue being a physical brawler, while Hubert is a ranged attacker.
* GentleGiant: He looks intimidating, but his personality is gentle and he also enjoys gardening.
* IOweYouMyLife: Dimitri risking his life to save Dedue's is part of the reason Dedue is unfalteringly loyal to him and concerned with guarding him closely.
* MightyGlacier: He’s got great physical defense, high HP and good strength, but low speed and his penalty to horseback skills limits his movement options. With his stats, he works well as an armor knight or fighter.
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: He cannot be poached from the Blue Lions, and will never fight directly alongside Edelgard, Hubert, or Claude.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: In his support with Felix, he says with conviction that he’s so loyal to Dimitri that he would without hesitation do heinous things, like massacring women and children, should the prince be involved in it.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:He uses a crest stone to willingly transform into a demonic beast during the Black Eagles route, all to ensure Dimitri achieves victory.]]
* RealMenWearPink: A stong, powerful-looking soldier whose hobbies include needlework.
* ScaryBlackMan: He’s tall, solidly-built, fairly stoic and often wearing a severe expression, but past his intimidating appearance, he’s gentle and fiercely loyal to his lord.
* SupremeChef: His cooking is apparently quite delectable, to the point that a stunned Flayn declares him the best cook she's ever encountered in her [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld very long life]].
* TerseTalker: He's not one for small talk, to say the least. This is in part due to a concern that anyone seen associating with him will be slandered due to the perception of Duscurians. He and Shamir actually bond over this shared trait in their support.
* UndyingLoyalty:
** He's staunchly loyal to Dimitri, and will not abandon him under any circumstances.
** He is so loyal in fact that [[spoiler:after Edelgard kills Dimitri during the Golden Deer route, Dedue hunts her down and kills her in revenge if Byleth spares her. On the Black Eagles route he will give his life to turn into a demonic beast to ensure Dimitri's victory, even getting soldiers with the same level of loyalty to also turn willingly alongside him.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''Sincerest of Knights'']]
->''"Playing around with girls is the most fun a guy can have. Besides, I don't care what you think of me. I don't intend to change how I live my life."''
The successor to the house of Margrave Gautier at the border. He cares for his friends, and is admired as an older brother figure in his class, but his fondness for sweet-talking girls is unmatched, such that he has endless troubles. He has an elder brother who was removed as the heir due to not possessing a Crest.
He bears the minor Crest of Gautier of the Ten Elites.
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: While a woman-chaser, he seems pretty eager to [[spoiler:settle down with Felix in their paired ending.]]
* AncestralWeapon: Sylvain gains possession of House Gautier’s relic, the Lance of Ruin, [[spoiler:either after his brother Miklan's defeat in chapter 5, if Byleth refuses to relinquish the lance to Rhea, or after Miklan's gang is dealt with in the Paralogue "The Forgotten" if Byleth agrees to give up the lance. Unlike his brother,]] Sylvain's Crest allows him to wield it safely.
* AnAxeToGrind: One of his starting proficiencies is in axes, and it’s half of his original study goals alongside lances.
* BrilliantButLazy: He's highly intelligent and insightful, but admits he dislikes hard work and would rather coast through having fun.
* CainAndAbel: Sylvain claims that his older brother Miklan so resented him for being the favorite child due to his Crest that he wanted Sylvain dead, and [[spoiler:if Sylvain talks to Miklan in chapter 5, Miklan urges Sylvain to "hurry up and die."]]
* CasanovaWannabe: He has a troublesome fondness for sweet-talking girls. If one plays a female Byleth, he'll be one of the fastest students to switch houses.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Dimitri, Ingrid, and Felix.
* CoolBigBro: Seen as one by his classmates, and according to Sylvain, when Felix was younger, looked up to Sylvain and treated him like an older brother. He often offers his comrades advice or assists them in solving their problems.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: During the cutscene introducing the houses and students, Sylvain tries flirting with Ingrid only to be rejected with a backhand punch.
* {{Foil}}:
** He and Dimitri are pretty much direct opposites; Sylvain is easygoing, fun-loving and lighthearted, while Dimitri is serious, responsible, and in Sylvain's words, "uptight." Highlighted by their support chain, where Sylvain promises to act more responsibly if Dimitri will lighten up.
** He and Ingrid are polar opposites; Ingrid is serous, straightforward, responsible and presents as the picture of a traditional, reliable knight. Sylvain is relaxed, somewhat irresponsible, has a fondness for joking around and tends to get into trouble.
* HiddenDepths:
** Sylvain despite being a skirt chaser, [[spoiler:actually holds the women he has flings with in contempt, feeling they only want to be with him so that they might become the mother of a child bearing a Crest. He feels unable to form proper romances with women because of this.]]
** Despite starting out as a basic foot soldier, he actually has a pretty good aptitude for magic, this being his budding talent. He is able to easily understand a book of magic that Annette struggles with, and one of his requirements for recruiting is in fact for Byleth to have a high Reason stat.
** He also believes the people of Duscar are innocent in [[spoiler:the conspiracy to kill the previous king of Faerghus]] and gives a number of reasons why he thinks so.
** In his support conversation with Ashe, Sylvain reveals that he holds genuinely heroic beliefs, saying that it’s a knight’s job to protect and help out anyone and everyone who needs it. A surprised Ashe even remarks that, were it not for his philandering and troublemaking, Sylvain would be a great person.
* HumbleHero: In his support with Annette, he's quick to downplay his intelligence and the fact that he picked up on a magic formula that she struggled with by saying that he just got lucky with it.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: The laid-back Sylvain has a habit of making off-color jokes during tense situations, or other lighthearted, potentially offensive remarks in serious situations that annoy others. Notably, he's on the recieving end of a slap from Ingrid after suggesting that [[spoiler:Flayn went missing because she eloped in chapter 6.]] He's got a habit of not bothering to filter his thoughts before he speaks them.
* JackOfAllStats: His growths are well-balanced, making him well-rounded overall.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be rude, smug, and even callous when it comes to the feelings of others, especially those of the women he dates, but he's a genuinely outgoing, friendly person and ultimately well-meaning.
* LoveableRogue: He tends to skirt the boundaries of responsibility and cares little for the consequences of his actions, but he’s a charming and kind guy regardless.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He wants people to see him as a brainless skirt-chaser, even though he's anything but. Perhaps best illustrated in his C-Support with Annette, where he instantly understands and is able to critique a book that she had been having trouble with and then tries to make up excuses about why he could, like pretending he'd read the book before or just got lucky.
* ParentalFavoritism: Because their father valued Crests so much, the moment Sylvain was born with one instantly made him the favorite over his older brother Miklan. Noticeably, however, Sylvain seems a bit sympathetic to his older brother, though he doesn't hesitate to state that he hated how selfish and egotistical Miklan would get over it.
* SmarterThanYouLook: While on the surface Sylvain is just another foppish flirt of which there have been several in the series, he is actually very intelligent and insightful when he wants to be.
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: He doesn't hesitate to call out Miklan as selfish and egotistical after his death, even admitting he ''should'' NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead, but his brother earned it for the hell he put him through in childhood.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: His philandering began to show itself at a worryingly young age. When he was eight years old he flirted with Ingrid's grandmother, which she does not let him live down.
* YoungestChildWins: Because he inherited a Crest while his older brother Miklan didn't, Sylvain is the heir to his house.
* YourCheatingHeart: He thinks nothing of dating multiple girls at the same time; Byleth can catch him in the middle of the fallout of one of his dates getting upset at him about it.

----

** In her support with Mercedes, the two bond over their shared situation of being hassled by marriage proposals they have no interest in. Ingrid muses that it's something that makes them NotSoDifferent.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She’s got long blonde hair and aspires to be a noble knight while also being one of the most approachable, kind and well-adjusted characters of the cast.
* ImpoverishedPatrician: Despite being nobility, her family is not wealthy at all, on account of holding territory that is inadequate for agricultural use.

* JumpedAtTheCall: In the introduction trailer for the Blue Lions, "tales of chivalry" is listed as one of the things she likes.

* NiceGirl: Ingrid is a thoughtful, mature, and friendly young woman.

* SpiritedYoungLady: Despite her status as a young noblewoman, Ingrid vehemently refuses to allow herself to be used as a pawn to be married off at her father's behest, determined to focus on training as a knight. That's not to say she doesn't love her father, as she repeatedly states she's touched by his concern for her, but he's unbelievably stubborn on the marriage subject.
* TeamMom: She tries her hardest to keep Felix and Sylvain out of trouble, and in her support with Sylvain rants in exasperation at having to clean up after his philandering.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Has this dynamic with Annette in their support; Ingrid is the training-focused girl unconcerned with her appearance beyond basic hygiene, while Annette enjoys traditionally feminine pursuits like putting on makeup. Despite Ingrid’s protests, in the end, Annette manages to trick Ingrid into putting on some makeup anyway.
* WeaponOfChoice: She has higher growth rates with lances than other weapons.

He bears the major Crest of Fraldarius of the Ten Elites.
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: [[spoiler:His paired endings with Dimitri and Sylvain contain oodles of HoYay that are impossible to ignore.]] Oddly enough, this doesn't extend to male Byleth (though female Byleth is a romance option).
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He's extremely proud of his sword skill, fairly antisocial, and tends to trash talk enemies he defeats.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Has this in his supports with Dorothea, where he's irritated by her attempts to get to know him better and she's irritated by his jerkish behavior. However, they end up truly bonding and respecting, [[spoiler:and even have a paired ending where they get married.]]
* BloodKnight: He's always on the hunt for strong, skilled warriors to challenge in battle.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Dimitri, Ingrid, and Sylvain.
* TheCynic: He believes wholeheartedly that idealism, honor and nobility are purely for fools, and that writers of idealistic stories control peoples' thoughts.
* GlassCannon: He’s got pretty good strength and speed growths, and his Crest has a chance of raising the might of his weapon when attacking, though his low defense and resistance means he relies on dodging and can’t take much punishment.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Knew how to swing a sword before he learned how to write, as is tradition in his homeland. His stats also make him an ideal fit for sword-wielding classes like Myrmidon.
* IWorkAlone: This is reflected in his personal skill, Solitary Wolf. The skill gives him 5 extra points of damage if he has no battalion accompanying him, either due to not having been assigned a battalion at all or having his battalion wiped out.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Felix is rather cruel towards Dimitri, calling him little more than a savage boar. It seems like Felix is just being an ass, but [[spoiler:as Dimitri's sanity begins to slip, it becomes clear that Felix isn't entirely wrong about Dimitri.]]
* JerkassRealization: A rather tragic example in one of his endings. [[spoiler:After spending years wandering the continent aimlessly as a mercenary, he runs into Lysithea who is living a perfectly happy life as a baker despite being on death's door at that point. Seeing her managing to be happy in spite of her impending death makes him realise how he's been wasting his life, and after she passes he takes over the bakery in her steed.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be rude, snide, judgemental and even confrontational, but underneath it all, he does genuinely care about the well-being of his comrades; in their support chain, Ashe compares him to a sarcastic and snide, but still caring protagonist of one of his favorite knightly tales.
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: In his support chain with Ashe, he mocks and talks down the idea of the KnightInShiningArmor, honor and idealism.
* SpiritedCompetitor: Challenging those he sees as {{Worthy Opponent}}s to spars is one of his favorite things to do.
* {{Tsundere}}: One of the most clear-cut male examples in the entire franchise. He's arrogant, brash, shows open disdain for chivalry, and prefers sparring over social interaction. Yet those who become close to him through supports can get many glimpses of his dere side.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: According to Sylvain, Felix used to be "meek and cute," and looked up to him like a big brother. Felix doesn't like revisiting the memory.
* WallPinOfLove: As befitting a tsundere, he does this to Byleth in his S-rank CG.
* WellDoneSonGuy: In his A support with Byleth, Felix admits that he's been chasing his brother's shadow ever since his death. His paralogue makes it abundantly clear that his relationship with his father is strained because of "difference of opinion".
* WeUsedToBeFriends: While he was once the best of friends with Dimitri an event before the beginning of the story has put a serious strain on his relationship with him, to the point that he freely describes Dimitri as a monster. Namely, [[spoiler:he saw Dimitri acting so savagely in their first battle together that he couldn't even believe it was him, and considering what a BloodKnight Felix is, that's saying something.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is dark blue.
* YouMonster: He outright calls Dimitri a 'boar' and a monster in their support chain, disgusted with [[spoiler:how bloodily the prince fought during the Duscur incident.]] He calls Dedue a monster as well in their support chain after the former's UndyingLoyalty to Dimitri has him claiming he would commit heinous actions, like massacring women and children, without hesitation should the prince be involved in said situations.

To wit, she was born into a noble family in the Adrestian Empire, but her father passed away when she was young, leading to her and her mother falling on hard times. They would move to Faerghus to seek a better life, with her mother remarrying to a noble.

After the thief says he has a sick child and needed the money to support them, Ashe decides to pay for the book in his stead.
