A teacher and physician at the Officer's Academy. She used to be a diva who performed for the Mittelfrank Opera Company as one of its stars. She often laments her inability to find a significant other.
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: Her paired ending with Dorothea can be read as romantic, but she isn't a romance option for female Byleth.Possibly intended to read as more familial, since Dorothea looks up to Manuela as a mentor.
* BeautyMark: Underneath her left eye.
* ChristmasCake: Desperately tries and fails to find herself a man, to the point that she even briefly considers noted CasanovaWannabe Sylvain as an option during their support chain (which only goes up to B level).
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Brown eyes and brunette hair.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Some of it is implied to be DrowningMySorrows over her constant failures to get a man, but she really does love her drink. Her lost item is misplaced hangover medicine.
* HiddenDepths: When [[spoiler:Flayn]] goes missing in Chapter 6, she's the first person to put together a credible suspect without relying on merely vague rumors, and spends nearly the entire month unavailable for interaction because she is investigating her suspect. She ends up managing to figure out that something about [[spoiler:Jeritza]] is off before most everyone else does, and confronts the perpetrator herself. This is notable because the other staff all just mostly guess and adjust to watch out for any suspicious activity, Manuela though goes above and beyond to find out the culprit. All and all it shows she is genuinely serious about her job and protecting her students.
* HotTeacher: While she can't find a significant other, she is a teacher and an attractive one as well, and her clothing provides decent cleavage.
* TheLadette: She's a bit of a slob, even eating food that fell on the floor and she likes to drink. This seems to be why she's having a hard time finding a significant other.
* SquishyMage: Her stats lean towards Magic and Resistance, but her Defense is quite low. Her proficiency in Faith Magic, Swords, and Flying means she leans more towards the mounted classes like Holy Knight or Pegasus Knight.
* VagueAge: Unlike the other playable characters, her age isn't revealed in her profile. Though Hanneman says he's 15 years older than her, which would make her 36 to his 51. Data mining reveals that her starting age is 34, though.

* DefectorFromDecadence: He was once a noble in the Adestrian Empire, but renounced his titles to become a professor at the Officer's Academy. He tells Edelgard that this was because Garreg Mach had access to special artifacts that he must study to advance his research. [[spoiler:Part of this is also fueled by his disgust in the nobility for what they did to his sister and Edelgard. This is also why he sides with the Adestrian Empire when the war breaks out, as he wants to do away with the nobility to prevent the tragedy that happened to his sister from happening again.]]
* HighClassGlass: A former noble and esteemed researcher who wears a spiffy monocle.
* SquishyWizard: His starting stats focus on a high Magic and Resistance, but his physical stats are very low by comparison. His proficiencies also include Reason magic and Horses, making him tailored made to be a Dark Knight.
* TrapMaster: On the Blue Lions route, he sides with Edelgard and the Adrestian Empire, overseeing the trap mechanisms of Arianrhod. With him at the reins, none of the usual deactivation mechanisms work, forcing Dimitri's forces to take him out first in order to retake the city.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Manuela. They can hardly let a single conversation pass without arguing, but they do still respect each other. When Manuela foolishly charges toward a dangerous enemy during their paralogue, he is beside himself with worry.

A young boy working as a servant for Archbishop Rhea, whom he is deeply indebted to as she rescued him from a life as a war orphan.

->''"I don't mind you settling into your life here, but don't let your guard down, ever."''
A legendary figure who was considered the strongest knight in all of history. He was invited to the monastery alongside his child Byleth and was asked to rejoin the Knights of Seiros. He is Byleth's father and is the captain of a mercenary company.
----
* TheAce: Considered the strongest knight in history. Jeralt's child is also so capable as a mercenary that they are trusted to teach the art of warfare to the continent's most elite at the Officer's Academy. Since Jeralt is the actual leader of the mercenary group, it can be presumed that his skill surpasses even Byleth's and perhaps that of the Academy's other instructors.
* ActionDad: One of the most reliable green units in the game demonstrating why he's considered the strongest knight.
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:Towards Rhea after he becomes suspicions that she’s somehow responsible for his child’s oddities (being unnaturally quiet for a baby, having a pulse with no heartbeat) and that she wasn’t being fully truthful about his wife’s death.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Greil]]. Hailed as the strongest of at least his time, the main character's dad, short brown hair, and is a mercenary leader. Unsurprisingly [[spoiler:he dies]].
* HappilyMarried: Jeralt fondly remembers the times he spent with his wife until her death. [[spoiler:When you look at his diary after his death, Sothis brings up how most of the diary entries before his wife's death are of a love struck man.]]
* InTheBack: [[spoiler:Kronya kills him this way due to Jeralt letting his guard down around her disguise as Monica.]]
* IOweYouMyLife: Implied he felt this way towards Rhea when they first met. Come present day he repeatedly warns Byleth to be [[BrokenPedestal weary of her]].
* TheLeader: Leads the mercenary group that Byleth is a part of prior to becoming a teacher. Before that, he was actually a member of the Knights of Seiros. His leadership is apparently so good that his child, Byleth, has as much skill in combat and tactics as the other elite professors at the Officer's Academy, despite Jeralt presumably lacking the formal education that they received and have been trained to teach.
* NoodleIncident: Jeralt apparently vanished and was missing for over 20 years before the bandit attack forces him back to Rhea, the reasons why isn't revealed until [[spoiler:after his death]].
* OverprotectiveDad: Not as extreme as many examples but he often tells Byleth to watch their back. [[spoiler:He doesn't trust Rhea and therefore tried to keep Byleth in the dark about the church or how before a mercenary, he was a knight.]]
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler:When Jeralt lost faith in Rhea, he made the bold decision to start a fire and fake his child's death before grabbing the child and leaving to raise them on his own.]] This also extends to how much he taught Byleth about the world, or rather the lack of.
* ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:He noticed his child's oddities, how quiet and emotionless they were, even for a baby, took them to a doctor to find that they had a pulse but no heartbeat. Now afraid of Rhea, after thinking the world of her, he used a fire that conveniently broke out to fake Byleth’s death and get them away from her. Given Rhea’s plans for them, Jeralt had every reason to be concerned.]]
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler:According to Alois, Jeralt is really over a hundred years old at the time the game starts, having infused himself with crest-bearing blood to greatly extend his lifespan.]]
* TheStoic: Alois mentions that Jeralt can be a little difficult to read and wasn’t one to show emotion easily. [[LikeFatherLikeSon Like father, like child]].
* TemptingFate: Time and time again, Jeralt tells Byleth he's not going to fall over and die. [[spoiler:He finally meets his end when stabbed in the back.]]
* WorldsStrongestMan: He's lauded as the strongest knight who ever lived.

----
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Her skin is a bit darker than some of the other characters, and she has blonde hair.
* OnlyOneName: She has only been given one name. While this hardly makes her unusual for a ''Fire Emblem'' character, it ''is'' somewhat out of the ordinary for a ''Three Houses'' character, where even many of the commoner characters have last names. During the battle with Lonato it is revealed Catherine isn't her real name, but the one she's chosen to go by as a devout of the Church. Even then her last name isn't revealed.

[[caption-width-right:350:''Sun of the Knights'']]
A member of the Knights of Seiros. He was once a subordinate of Jeralt when he was the leader of the knights, and thus respects him greatly. He recommended the protagonist as a teacher after they saved students from bandits, something he rarely does. He is a cheerful and amiable person. He likes telling jokes, but they're not that funny.
----
* BaitAndSwitchLesbians: Alois can reach an S-Rank Support with a male Byleth, making him look like a GayOption. Instead, Alois is one of only two platonic S Supports in the game, and Byleth even marries an unidentified woman offscreen if he goes this route.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Tries to give one to Byleth after [[spoiler:Jeralt’s death]] in his usual bravado. But realizes the situation really doesn’t call for it.
* HappilyMarried: Has an unseen wife who he gushes about, and a daughter.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Is fond of these. His fellow knights are less than impressed with it.
* NiceGuy: He’s a very friendly, courteous and upbeat guy, though a bit over-exuberant and excitable.
* NoIndoorVoice: He is constantly shouting, which is something of a problem when your hobby is ''fishing''. He unsurprisingly does not catch much, but refuses to believe that his voice is what's scaring them off.
* UndyingLoyalty: Despite being a Knight of Seiros, he places more of his loyalty in Jeralt.

A member of the Knights of Seiros hailing from the Holy Kingdom. He is deeply faithful, serious and polite. His expression doesn't change much, nor does he talk much about himself. Because of that, it's hard to get to know him, though he does seem to love fishing and cooking.
----
* BaitAndSwitchLesbians: Gilbert can reach an S-Rank Support with a male Byleth, making him look like a GayOption. Instead, Gilbert is one of only two platonic S Supports in the game.
* DisappearedDad: Gilbert left his wife and daughter to focus on his duty as a knight. There's still a lot of tension between him and Annette over this.
* MightyGlacier: As an armor knight, he’s slow, but highly resistant to physical damage and hits fairly hard.
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: He is only recruitable in the Blue Lions route.
* TheQuietOne: Gilbert is a straightforward, professional man of few words.
* ReligiousBruiser: He’s highly devout, and as a Knight of Seiros is no stranger to battle.
* TheStoic: He’s usually wearing a neutral, stern expression, and doesn’t tend to emote much at all.
* TheWorfEffect: Almost no enemies can damage him in his introduction chapter. [[spoiler:However, once Miklan turns into a Beast, Gilbert, being the closest, will usually get easily killed by him because of his low Speed allowing the Beast to double him.

----
* BoobsOfSteel: A skilled former mercenary turned Knight of Seiros, and has a sizable bust to boot.
* ColdSniper: A powerful sniper, and has quite the aloof personality to match.
* FantasticRacism: {{Averted}}. Several characters who learn of her past as a native of Dagda, which fought a war with the Empire, often believe she has a prejudice against them. She reveals she carries no ill will to the Empire's people specifically.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: She's skilled enough that she can throw a dagger at a centipede on a far-off pillar and split it clean in half, to Leonie's utter amazement.
* KillStreak: Her personal skill grants her +4 to Strength, Magic, Dexterity, and Speed for 1 turn after she scores a kill, not unlike Peri from VideoGame/FireEmblemFates.
* UndyingLoyalty: Despite the fact that she does not believe in the religious order of Seiros, she ignores her skepticism and serves with the Knights out of a sense of gratitude toward Rhea specifically.

* DirtyCoward: In the Black Eagles route, after Dimitri falls in battle, Edelgard paints her as this for seeking asylum in Faerghus and then manipulating him and his army to fight to the death to protect her.
* DissonantSerenity: She retains her calm and gentle manner of speaking even as she [[spoiler:sentences the dissidents from the Western Church to death for daring to oppose her]], which prompts some of the students to note just how terrifying she can be.

* GoodIsNotSoft: She's a major figure in the church, and while she acts like a mother hen, she shows no mercy to the church's enemies.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In the Church route if Byleth doesn't S-Rank her Supports and the Golden Deer route, she sacrifices herself to give Byleth the power they need to defeat Thales or Nemesis.]]
* LiteralSplitPersonality: [[spoiler:She's effectively the goodness of Seiros made manifest, contrasting Seiros who represents all their dark emotions. Fittingly the final battle of the Church route is even called "Light and Shadow" to reflect their nature]].

A teacher and physician at the Officer's Academy. She used to be a diva who performed for the Mittelfrank Opera Company as one of its stars. She often laments her inability to find a significant other.
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: Her paired ending with Dorothea can be read as romantic, but she isn't a romance option for female Byleth.Possibly intended to read as more familial, since Dorothea looks up to Manuela as a mentor.
* BeautyMark: Underneath her left eye.
* ChristmasCake: Desperately tries and fails to find herself a man, to the point that she even briefly considers noted CasanovaWannabe Sylvain as an option during their support chain (which only goes up to B level).
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Brown eyes and brunette hair.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Some of it is implied to be DrowningMySorrows over her constant failures to get a man, but she really does love her drink. Her lost item is misplaced hangover medicine.
* HiddenDepths: When [[spoiler:Flayn]] goes missing in Chapter 6, she's the first person to put together a credible suspect without relying on merely vague rumors, and spends nearly the entire month unavailable for interaction because she is investigating her suspect. She ends up managing to figure out that something about [[spoiler:Jeritza]] is off before most everyone else does, and confronts the perpetrator herself. This is notable because the other staff all just mostly guess and adjust to watch out for any suspicious activity, Manuela though goes above and beyond to find out the culprit. All and all it shows she is genuinely serious about her job and protecting her students.
* HotTeacher: While she can't find a significant other, she is a teacher and an attractive one as well, and her clothing provides decent cleavage.
* TheLadette: She's a bit of a slob, even eating food that fell on the floor and she likes to drink. This seems to be why she's having a hard time finding a significant other.
* SquishyMage: Her stats lean towards Magic and Resistance, but her Defense is quite low. Her proficiency in Faith Magic, Swords, and Flying means she leans more towards the mounted classes like Holy Knight or Pegasus Knight.
* VagueAge: Unlike the other playable characters, her age isn't revealed in her profile. Though Hanneman says he's 15 years older than her, which would make her 36 to his 51. Data mining reveals that her starting age is 34, though.

----

* CoolOldGuy: He's an enthusiastic Crest researcher, a kindly professor, and a powerful mage.
* DefectorFromDecadence: He was once a noble in the Adestrian Empire, but renounced his titles to become a professor at the Officer's Academy. He tells Edelgard that this was because Garreg Mach had access to special artifacts that he must study to advance his research. [[spoiler:Part of this is also fueled by his disgust in the nobility for what they did to his sister and Edelgard. This is also why he sides with the Adestrian Empire when the war breaks out, as he wants to do away with the nobility to prevent the tragedy that happened to his sister from happening again.]]
* HighClassGlass: A former noble and esteemed researcher who wears a spiffy monocle.
* SquishyWizard: His starting stats focus on a high Magic and Resistance, but his physical stats are very low by comparison. His proficiencies also include Reason magic and Horses, making him tailored made to be a Dark Knight.
* TrapMaster: On the Blue Lions route, he sides with Edelgard and the Adrestian Empire, overseeing the trap mechanisms of Arianrhod. With him at the reins, none of the usual deactivation mechanisms work, forcing Dimitri's forces to take him out first in order to retake the city.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Manuela. They can hardly let a single conversation pass without arguing, but they do still respect each other. When Manuela foolishly charges toward a dangerous enemy during their paralogue, he is beside himself with worry.

----
* ActuallyIAmHim: [[spoiler:Claims to be a descendant of Saint Cethleann, but it turns out she actually ''is'' Cethleann.]]

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She has her moments. Her interpretation of Seteth telling her to stay away from Sylvain is to [[LiteralMinded literally force him to stand several feet away from her when talking.]] Having a fishing tournament based around her only to forget which fish she ''actually wants'' also has to count.

----
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His hair and eyes are both sand-colored.
* KillAndReplace: As Tomas had been working at the monastery for 40 years and had gone on a trip about a year before the start of the game, Gilbert suspects that [[spoiler:the real Tomas was killed during his trip away and replaced by Solon who remained undercover until he had no need to continue his disguise.]]

A young boy working as a servant for Archbishop Rhea, whom he is deeply indebted to as she rescued him from a life as a war orphan. As such he takes his duties at the Monastery very seriously, so much that he is prone to seeming cold to others. He has Shamir teach him the basics of archery just so he could be of use to the Archbishop.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: He's noticeably darker than the rest of the characters, including Claude and Petra. [[spoiler:It's because he's Almyran.]]
* TheArcher: Shamir taught him archery so he could be more useful to Rhea, and when he's recruited, bows are one of his starting proficiencies.

* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a scar on the right side of his forehead.

->''"I don't mind you settling into your life here, but don't let your guard down, ever."''
A legendary figure who was considered the strongest knight in all of history. He was invited to the monastery alongside his child Byleth and was asked to rejoin the Knights of Seiros. He is Byleth's father and is the captain of a mercenary company.
----
* TheAce: Considered the strongest knight in history. Jeralt's child is also so capable as a mercenary that they are trusted to teach the art of warfare to the continent's most elite at the Officer's Academy. Since Jeralt is the actual leader of the mercenary group, it can be presumed that his skill surpasses even Byleth's and perhaps that of the Academy's other instructors.
* ActionDad: One of the most reliable green units in the game demonstrating why he's considered the strongest knight.
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:Towards Rhea after he becomes suspicions that she’s somehow responsible for his child’s oddities (being unnaturally quiet for a baby, having a pulse with no heartbeat) and that she wasn’t being fully truthful about his wife’s death.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Greil]]. Hailed as the strongest of at least his time, the main character's dad, short brown hair, and is a mercenary leader. Unsurprisingly [[spoiler:he dies]].
* HappilyMarried: Jeralt fondly remembers the times he spent with his wife until her death. [[spoiler:When you look at his diary after his death, Sothis brings up how most of the diary entries before his wife's death are of a love struck man.]]
* InTheBack: [[spoiler:Kronya kills him this way due to Jeralt letting his guard down around her disguise as Monica.]]
* IOweYouMyLife: Implied he felt this way towards Rhea when they first met. Come present day he repeatedly warns Byleth to be [[BrokenPedestal weary of her]].
* TheLeader: Leads the mercenary group that Byleth is a part of prior to becoming a teacher. Before that, he was actually a member of the Knights of Seiros. His leadership is apparently so good that his child, Byleth, has as much skill in combat and tactics as the other elite professors at the Officer's Academy, despite Jeralt presumably lacking the formal education that they received and have been trained to teach.
* NoodleIncident: Jeralt apparently vanished and was missing for over 20 years before the bandit attack forces him back to Rhea, the reasons why isn't revealed until [[spoiler:after his death]].
* OverprotectiveDad: Not as extreme as many examples but he often tells Byleth to watch their back. [[spoiler:He doesn't trust Rhea and therefore tried to keep Byleth in the dark about the church or how before a mercenary, he was a knight.]]
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler:When Jeralt lost faith in Rhea, he made the bold decision to start a fire and fake his child's death before grabbing the child and leaving to raise them on his own.]] This also extends to how much he taught Byleth about the world, or rather the lack of.
* ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:He noticed his child's oddities, how quiet and emotionless they were, even for a baby, took them to a doctor to find that they had a pulse but no heartbeat. Now afraid of Rhea, after thinking the world of her, he used a fire that conveniently broke out to fake Byleth’s death and get them away from her. Given Rhea’s plans for them, Jeralt had every reason to be concerned.]]
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler:According to Alois, Jeralt is really over a hundred years old at the time the game starts, having infused himself with crest-bearing blood to greatly extend his lifespan.]]
* TheStoic: Alois mentions that Jeralt can be a little difficult to read and wasn’t one to show emotion easily. [[LikeFatherLikeSon Like father, like child]].
* TemptingFate: Time and time again, Jeralt tells Byleth he's not going to fall over and die. [[spoiler:He finally meets his end when stabbed in the back.]]
* WorldsStrongestMan: He's lauded as the strongest knight who ever lived.

[[caption-width-right:350:''Guardian of Zanado'']]
An alumnus of the Garegg Mach Officer's Academy, and a member of the Knights of Seiros. She is a fearsome swordswoman armed with the Thunderbrand, one of the Hero's Relics, and is loyal to Archbishop Rhea.
----
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Her skin is a bit darker than some of the other characters, and she has blonde hair.
* OnlyOneName: She has only been given one name. While this hardly makes her unusual for a ''Fire Emblem'' character, it ''is'' somewhat out of the ordinary for a ''Three Houses'' character, where even many of the commoner characters have last names. During the battle with Lonato it is revealed Catherine isn't her real name, but the one she's chosen to go by as a devout of the Church. Even then her last name isn't revealed.
* RedBaron: Was once famed as Thunderstrike Cassandra.
* UndyingLoyalty: To the Church and to Rhea especially. As a result, [[spoiler:she will never join you in the Black Eagles route after siding with Edelgard.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''Sun of the Knights'']]
A member of the Knights of Seiros. He was once a subordinate of Jeralt when he was the leader of the knights, and thus respects him greatly. He recommended the protagonist as a teacher after they saved students from bandits, something he rarely does. He is a cheerful and amiable person. He likes telling jokes, but they're not that funny.
----
* BaitAndSwitchLesbians: Alois can reach an S-Rank Support with a male Byleth, making him look like a GayOption. Instead, Alois is one of only two platonic S Supports in the game, and Byleth even marries an unidentified woman offscreen if he goes this route.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Tries to give one to Byleth after [[spoiler:Jeralt’s death]] in his usual bravado. But realizes the situation really doesn’t call for it.
* HappilyMarried: Has an unseen wife who he gushes about, and a daughter.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Is fond of these. His fellow knights are less than impressed with it.
* NiceGuy: He’s a very friendly, courteous and upbeat guy, though a bit over-exuberant and excitable.
* NoIndoorVoice: He is constantly shouting, which is something of a problem when your hobby is ''fishing''. He unsurprisingly does not catch much, but refuses to believe that his voice is what's scaring them off.
* UndyingLoyalty: Despite being a Knight of Seiros, he places more of his loyalty in Jeralt. [[spoiler:It's why he sticks with Byleth if he's recruited despite going against the Church in the Black Eagles route, to the point where he willingly leaves the Knights during the timeskip to try and find Byleth.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''Veteran Patriot'']]
A member of the Knights of Seiros hailing from the Holy Kingdom. He is deeply faithful, serious and polite. His expression doesn't change much, nor does he talk much about himself. Because of that, it's hard to get to know him, though he does seem to love fishing and cooking.
----
* BaitAndSwitchLesbians: Gilbert can reach an S-Rank Support with a male Byleth, making him look like a GayOption. Instead, Gilbert is one of only two platonic S Supports in the game.
* DisappearedDad: Gilbert left his wife and daughter to focus on his duty as a knight. There's still a lot of tension between him and Annette over this.
* MightyGlacier: As an armor knight, he’s slow, but highly resistant to physical damage and hits fairly hard.
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: He is only recruitable in the Blue Lions route.
* TheQuietOne: Gilbert is a straightforward, professional man of few words.
* ReligiousBruiser: He’s highly devout, and as a Knight of Seiros is no stranger to battle.
* TheStoic: He’s usually wearing a neutral, stern expression, and doesn’t tend to emote much at all.
* TheWorfEffect: Almost no enemies can damage him in his introduction chapter. [[spoiler:However, once Miklan turns into a Beast, Gilbert, being the closest, will usually get easily killed by him because of his low Speed allowing the Beast to double him. This serves to show how deadly Beast enemies are, and how charging ahead like usual will get your units killed, though thankfully Gilbert does not permanently die]].

A master of the bow serving as a Knight of Seiros. She was once a mercenary from the land of Dagda, but joined the Knights to repay Rhea for past debts. She is not a believer of the Church of Seiros despite being a knight, which is a rarity, and she only pledges her loyalty to Rhea for now.
----
* BoobsOfSteel: A skilled former mercenary turned Knight of Seiros, and has a sizable bust to boot.
* ColdSniper: A powerful sniper, and has quite the aloof personality to match.
* FantasticRacism: {{Averted}}. Several characters who learn of her past as a native of Dagda, which fought a war with the Empire, often believe she has a prejudice against them. She reveals she carries no ill will to the Empire's people specifically.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: She's skilled enough that she can throw a dagger at a centipede on a far-off pillar and split it clean in half, to Leonie's utter amazement.
* KillStreak: Her personal skill grants her +4 to Strength, Magic, Dexterity, and Speed for 1 turn after she scores a kill, not unlike Peri from VideoGame/FireEmblemFates.
* UndyingLoyalty: Despite the fact that she does not believe in the religious order of Seiros, she ignores her skepticism and serves with the Knights out of a sense of gratitude toward Rhea specifically. [[spoiler:Although with her nature as a mercenary, she has no problem with going against Rhea and the Church if you recruit her in the Black Eagles route before the timeskip.]]
* TerseTalker: She is very blunt and is not one for small talk. She and Dedue actually bond over this.
