Line #33 Characters/DaydreamsAndNightmares


1	The following characters are those which feature in ''Fanfic/DaydreamsAndNightmares'', a ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' fanfic written by lambentLodestar. As a Self-Insert and OC fanfic, only original characters should be listed in great detail - canon characters should only listed, but only the tropes relevant to the fanfic (either original or from canon) should be described and listed herein.

3	There will be unmarked '''spoilers''' within the folders below, so you will not be able to avoid them if you read on. You have been warned.

7	[[folder:The Dreamers]]
8
9	A group of young people from Earth, within a timeline separate from our own. Due to circumstances unknown, they have - one by one - become affected by a bizarre phenomenon: whenever they fall asleep on Earth, they find themselves somehow in the world of ''Fire Emblem: Awakening'', in bodies identical to their own to inhabit; when they fall asleep or unconscious in Ylisse, they awaken back on Earth. Furthermore, their bodies appear to be symbiotically linked between both worlds - any physical changes that take place on either side are reflected on the other, and the bodies remain asleep while the other side is inhabited to conserve their energy. Because of this they have taken the collective title of "Dreamers", an IronicName given their circumstances.
10
11	Together, they [[MythologyGag fight and live]] within the two worlds, living separate lives from anyone else as they do their utmost best to help the Shepherds in their quest to save Ylisse - and later, the whole world - from destruction at the hands of Grima and the Grimleal, while being hunted by a strange group who are trying to prevent their interference in the course of events.
12
13	!! Tropes applying to the Dreamers as a collective group:
14
15	%%zce* ActionGirl: The females, to varying levels
16	* GenderEqualEnsemble: Three gals, three guys.
17	* {{Otaku}}: Most of them seem to be one, in some way or other - Shanz and Nin are confirmed to be die-hard video game fans.
18	%%zce* SelfInsert
19	* WriteWhoYouKnow: The author based each of the Dreamers off people she knows in RealLife, with the implication of this being an AlternateUniverse in which they are entangled in this adventure. The one exception is Storm, who is a GenderFlip of Shanzira from his own parallel world (everyone else being the same).
20	** Some segments of the story are also written by the RealLife people who form the basis of each Dreamer (to better realise their actual thoughts).
21
22	!! Shanzira "Shanz" Dinrel
23
24	'''Real name''': Jaclyn
25
26	The main character - an Art Major in ollege through whose eyes most of the story is told. One of the first of the group to end up as a Dreamer (though who started before the others is uncertain), Shanzira was the first to be found by the Shepherds and would later vouch for the others once they were found in Ylisse.
27
28	Although she is not strictly the wisest of the group, Shanz's gregarious personality and ability to connect with people has made her the defacto leader of the group by default - though her friends and allies often need to keep her more playful side in check, with varying results.
29	----
30
31	* BreakTheHaughty: She cruises along without much of a care until [[spoiler:Sumia dies as a result of her brashness.]]
32	%%zce* BunnyEarsLawyer
33	%%zce* TheHero
34	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She can be grossly insensitive and thoughtless in regards to people's feelings, but her heart is in the right place and she truly does value her friends.
35	* ShipperOnDeck: For Chrom/Robin most of all [[spoiler:until it gets decisively sunk.]]
36	* TookALevelInKindness: She's forced to reevaluate some of her priorities as the story goes along, and becomes more sensitive along the way. Case in point: when she meets [[spoiler:Cameron from ''Fanfic/{{Asleep}}'' and realises that he probably had to deal with her younger self]], she is quite apologetic and even thinks to herself that [[spoiler:she hopes he ''hit'' Jaclyn from that verse for her callous response to hearing that his fiancee died (ie: "Sucks to be you").]]
37
38	!! Shio
39
40	'''Real name''': Unknown (called "Mike" by Shanzira)
41
42	Shanzira's best friend, the two often corresponded well over long distance while in college and would confide strong in each other. Shanz wasn't a Dreamer for long before she found Mike at the mercy of a mysterious group one night - rescued with the help of the Shepherds, she agrees with Shanzira's suggestion to take on an alias while in Ylisse, now going by "Shio".
43
44	Before joining the Shepherds, she had wandered for a while in Plegia until she met Henry, who gave her training as a Dark Mage.
45	----
46
47	* ShrinkingViolet: Shyer than the other Dreamers
48	%%zce* TeamMom
49	%%zce* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly-girl to Shanzira's tomboy.
50
51	!! Welsh
52
53	'''Real name''': Unknown
54
55	An old friend of Shanzira's who she's known since high school at least, though they've since grown apart as they got older. The 3rd Dreamer to be found by the Shepherds, he's probably the calmest of the group and likely to critique Shanz's less-than-clever decisions
56	----
57
58	* ChildhoodFriends: With Shanzira... for a certain measure of "childhood" [[spoiler:(and in his view, a certain measure of "friend").]]
59	* TheLancer[=/=]NumberTwo
60
61	!! Nineeyena (a.k.a: Nin/Ninny)
62
63	'''Real name''': Unknown
64
65	Shanzira's college roommate and friend, an overweight young woman with myopia and diagnosed UsefulNotes/AspergersSyndrome. Due to suffering anxiety issues just like Shanz, the two tend to act as support for one another in the "real world", and both tend to discuss their favourite games and franchises in their spare time (when they're not studying).
66
67	For some time, Shanz keeps the exact nature of her sudden prologued sleep a secret - until Nin is found at the Ylisse/Plegia border, loosely accompanied by Eldrad. Both join the group soon after.
68	----
69
70	* BigEater
71	* DeadpanSnarker
72	* TheSmartGirl
73
74	!! Eldrad
75
76	'''Real name''': Cameron
77
78	The only Dreamer who was no acquainted with the first four before the adventure started (Storm being an unusual case). He spent a couple of months wandering Plegia, where he found [[MythologyGag a nigh-indestructible shield]] in some ruins. He finds himself at the Plegia/Ylisse border around the time Gangrel kidnaps Maribelle to provoke war, meeting Nin at the same time - after which they are both promptly drawn into the conflict, and subsequently join the Shepherds.
79
80	Of all the group, he's the one most prone to giving to giving Shanzira grief due to having little patience with her occasional immaturity - she in turn has no issue provoking him. In spite of this, the two do respect and like each other deep down... ''way'' deep down.
81	----
82
83	* TheBigGuy: Due to his fighting style, though he's also TheSmartGuy at times.
84	* DeadpanSnarker
85	* {{Expy}}: Of Cameron from ''Fanfic/{{Asleep}}'' - essentially the same person, but from a different version of Earth and SI-ed in a different way.
86	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Shanzira - the two have such vastly different personalities and can't help provoking each other, but they are friends in their own way and trust each other.
87
88	!! Storm
89
90	'''Real name''': Jacob
91
92	Shanzira's AU genderbent self. He matches Shanz in almost every aspect, except for things such as their interests in art.
