| 11 | |
| 12 | |
| 13 | A mage training in the Novis Monastery who joins Celica on her journey. She's very energetic and bickers often with Boey. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ->'''Class:''' Mage\ |
| 16 | '''Age:''' 17\ |
| 17 | '''Voiced by:''' Eri Inagawa (Japanese), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English) |
| 18 | ---- |
| 19 | * AscendedExtra: She goes from a one-note ally in ''Gaiden'' to a GenkiGirl and one of ThoseTwoGuys in ''Echoes''. |
| 20 | * AdaptationExpansion: While she always had feelings for Boey, the remake makes it even clearer, she now marries him in her ending. If he dies, Mae suffers a short but intense HeroicBSOD and later works at the Novis Monastery, implied [[TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest to remain single]]. |
| 21 | * BabiesEverAfter: Is noted to have LOTS of kids with Boey after they get married. |
| 22 | * BadassAdorable: She's a sweet and energetic girl who's also quite competent with magic. |
| 23 | * BelligerentSexualTension: She is always bickering with Boey, but obviously has feelings for him. Notably their fighting often has a less belligerent and more a playful tone to it that continues for the rest of their lives together. |
| 24 | * BreastPlate: Wears one that's shaped to give the impression of a large bust, and is the only mage to wear a chest plate. It's even more pronounced in ''Heroes''. |
| 25 | * BuffySpeak: Has a tendency to slip into this in the English version of ''Echoes'', with "big, hurty lightning" being the classic example. |
| 26 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: She dislikes provisions with the rich, bitter, and rough preference like holey cheese, yogurt, butter, pegasus cheese, hard bread, carrot, flour, mana herbs, ambrosia, and the medicinal herb. |
| 27 | * DubPersonalityChange: Downplayed. While Mae is cheerful and friendly in both versions, she uses "-sama" on Celica in the original Japanese (roughly equivalent to "Lady Celica"), but simply calls her "Celica" in the dub. |
| 28 | * FirstNameBasis: While Boey refers to her respectfully as "Milady," Mae simply calls Celica by name. In the original Japanese, however, Mae uses the extremely respectful "-sama" honorific on Celica. |
| 29 | * GenkiGirl: She's very energetic in nature, which contrasts the kind but reserved Celica. |
| 30 | * GirlishPigtails: The only character in the game with pigtails. |
| 31 | * GlassCannon: Mae has the highest Attack power and Speed out of all three of the mages in Celica's route but has the lowest HP and Defense, with growths that further emphasize this. |
| 32 | * InsecureLoveInterest: She has a crush on Boey, but worries that she might be too much of a tomboy and that Boey sees her as OneOfTheGuys rather than as a woman. |
| 33 | * LightEmUp: She can learn both Aura and Seraphim. |
| 34 | * LikeBrotherAndSister: In the original ''Gaiden'', she views Boey as an annoying younger brother. |
| 35 | * TheLostLenore: If she dies, Boey never finds another woman after a BelatedLoveEpiphany. |
| 36 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Mae is very brave and has plenty of confidence in her magical abilities. By contrast, Boey is more cowardly and is shown to be rather insecure about his magical talent. |
| 37 | * MsFanservice: For some reason, her Mage outfit in ''Shadows'' features a breastplate that accentuates her chest, and a dress that both bares her legs and shows off the curves of her butt. Mae's breastplate is even bustier in ''Heroes.'' |
| 38 | * ParentalAbandonment: While many characters don't bring up their families, Mae is notable among her friends from the priory for never mentioning or implying that she has blood relatives. |
| 39 | * PinkMeansFeminine: Averted. Despite her pink hair and clothes, Mae isn't very feminine, something she secretly worries about. |
| 40 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: [[http://mystletainn.tumblr.com/post/172869330196/note-the-individual-squares-dont-line-up As a height chart created by mystletainn reveals,]] Mae is one of the shortest characters in the whole game, taller only than Delthea, Silque, and Genny (and tied with Faye). In spite of her modest stature, she remains a force to be reckoned with. (It also makes her title in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' that much more fitting.) |
| 41 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |
| 42 | -->''"You're not stopping me!"''\ |
| 43 | ''"Coming through!"''\ |
| 44 | ''"Now I'm mad!"''\ |
| 45 | ''"Eat this, pal!"'' |
| 46 | * RequiredPartyMember: She is one of the few characters on Celica's route whose recruitment is not optional. |
| 47 | * RoseHairedSweetie: Mae has bright pink hair and has a optimistic, cheerful, energetic, friendly, and good natured personality. Despite the fact she was a {{Flat Character}} and didn’t have much importance in the original, the Remake expands more of her characteristics as she follows Celica in her adventures. |
| 48 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: She's the energetic GenkiGirl to the more strait-laced Boey. |
| 49 | * ShockAndAwe: Starts with Thunder magic, as she boasts. |
| 50 | -->'''Mae:''' I can conjure lightning, Boey. [[BuffySpeak Big, hurty lightning]]. |
| 51 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Mae's new [[SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl gung ho and hyperactive characterization with Boey]] along with the implication of being good at thunder magic makes her a little similar to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Tailtiu]], with less insecurity baggage and less tragedy. |
| 52 | * SweetTooth: In ''Echoes'', Mae has a liking for sweet provisions, and even starts with a Sweet Cookie item. |
| 53 | * TomboyAngst: Mae confides to Celica that, ''[[BlatantLies hypothetically]]'', if there were someone[[note]]Boey[[/note]] she liked, they might not return her feelings because they don't see her as a woman. |
| 54 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She has pink hair and wears a predominantly pink and red dress, but is also very boisterous and likes to brag about her abilities on the battlefield. This is touched upon in her supports with Celica, as she fears her tomboyish traits might make her unattractive to the opposite sex and wonders if she should act more feminine. |
| 55 | * {{Tsundere}}: A mild version towards Boey. She loves him but has a really hard time showing it and the two usually devolve into petty arguments. |
| 56 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Celica. The two are each other's closest friend, and Mae repeatedly sets aside her own fears and doubts in favor of always supporting Celica no matter what. |
| 57 | * UnskilledButStrong: She's better at magic than Boey, having already mastered the Thunder spell from the beginning as well as having a much higher growth in Attack, albeit at the cost of Skill. |

| 63 | [[caption-width-right:250:Skillful Survivor]] |
| 64 | |
| 65 | A novice mage training in the Novis Monastery. Straight-laced and inexperienced, but determined to protect Celica, he joins her on her journey. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | ->'''Class:''' Mage\ |
| 68 | '''Age:''' 16\ |
| 69 | '''Voiced by:''' Takuma Sasaki (Japanese), Creator/ChrisHackney (English) |
| 70 | ---- |
| 71 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: Again, par for the course for a remake of such an old game. In ''Echoes'' he's much more of a pretty boy, and doesn't even resemble either of his previous [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/1/10/Boey_%28Gaiden_Manual_Artwork%29.png/revision/latest?cb=00000000000000 official]] [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/3/39/Boey_%28The_Complete_Artwork%29.png/revision/latest?cb=00000000000000 depictions]]. |
| 72 | * AdaptationalDyeJob: His [[HairColorDissonance hair color was already inconsistent to begin with]], but ''Echoes'' discards both of his previous looks and gives him white hair. |
| 73 | * AdaptationExpansion: While Boey always had feelings for Mae, his relationship with her is more romance-tinged in the remake, and they end up married. |
| 74 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: In ''Echoes'', Boey is somewhat tanned compared to his fellows. |
| 75 | * AscendedExtra: He goes from a one-note ally in ''Gaiden'' to TheSmartGuy and one of ThoseTwoGuys in ''Echoes''. |
| 76 | * BabiesEverAfter: Eventually married Mae after a "trying courtship" that resulted in MANY children. |
| 77 | * BadassArmfold: Is an unusual but powerful MightyGlacier, and frequently shown in this pose. It even became his default one in ''Heroes''. |
| 78 | * BelatedLoveEpiphany: If Mae dies in classic mode, Boey's ending states that it was only then he realized his true feelings for her and how strong they were. |
| 79 | * BelligerentSexualTension: He and Mae are constantly fighting, a situation noted to continue even once they're married. Not all that belligerent though, as the couple would often remark that they couldn't be happier with the way their relationship works. |
| 80 | * ButtMonkey: Of the characters that Celica initially starts with. Mae points out his embarrassing flops on more than one occasion and he ScreamsLikeALittleGirl when confronted with Necrodragons. |
| 81 | * CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Boey is constantly butting heads with Mae, but he becomes despondent if she dies. |
| 82 | * DeadpanSnarker: Not to the extent of Kliff, but still snarky when given the chance. |
| 83 | * DependingOnTheArtist: His original official art in the game manual (and ''Awakening'') depicts him with green hair, but his in-game sprite and his art in ''The Complete'' artbook has red hair. ''Echoes'' ignores both of these and gives him white hair. |
| 84 | * ForbiddenFriendship: Despite being close friends, Boey never drops his formalities around Celica due to his lower class and coming from a poor family. He tends to see his friendship with her as unconventional, but still admits he's happy to have the honor of supporting her. |
| 85 | * LovableCoward: He's not very enthusiastic when Celica takes them through a graveyard, as he's scared of Terrors. |
| 86 | * MysticalWhiteHair: In ''Echoes'', the mage's hair is a mysterious shade of white. |
| 87 | * MightyGlacier: A rare magical variant. Boey has very low Speed and average Magic, but his HP and Defense growths are among the highest in the game. This makes him a shockingly good tank. |
| 88 | * MoreDakka: He learns Sagittae, which rapid fires a rain of arrows at the enemy. |
| 89 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Boey is more reserved and can be a bit of a coward, contrasting the more confident and boisterous Mae. |
| 90 | * MusclesAreMeaningful: He's got some pretty toned arms as shown in his portrait, and he has amazing HP and Defense growths to show for it. |
| 91 | * TheOneGuy: Amongst Celica's starting group of allies she takes with her. |
| 92 | * PantsFree: He doesn't wear any pants in his original artwork. |
| 93 | * PlayingWithFire: Like all mages he starts with the Fire spell, which is depicted in his official artwork. Mae even notes that this is the only thing he's good at at the beginning of the game, since it's his only spell at that point, and jokes that she'll call him if she ever needs to roast some marshmallows. |
| 94 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |
| 95 | -->''"It's over!"''\ |
| 96 | ''"Sorry, friend."''\ |
| 97 | ''"Out of the way!"''\ |
| 98 | ''"Have some of this!"'' |
| 99 | * RequiredPartyMember: He is one of the few characters on Celica's route whose recruitment is not optional. |
| 100 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: He's the strait-laced serious guy to Mae's GenkiGirl. |
| 101 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: He lets out a particularly high-pitched scream on two occasions when confronted by Necrodragons. |
| 102 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Boey's [[SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl new personality and dynamic with Mae]] along with an earlier comment about his fire magic makes him quite similar with Azelle from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'', except he's more cowardly than shy as well as being canonically not that screwed. |
| 103 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Interestingly, he's the only unit in Echoes to love provisions in the "plain" category (oranges, water, bread, and soup). |
| 104 | * UndyingLoyalty: Much like Mae, Boey's loyalty and devotion to Celica is unwavering. He also respectfully refers to her as "Milady" even when he disagrees with her. |
| 105 | * WeakButSkilled: Boey isn't as talented a mage as Mae is, but isn't anywhere near as reckless, which translates into him having a pretty high Skill growth unlike Mae. |
| 106 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: While he claims he has no problem with bandits and thieves, he doesn't like the idea of fighting Terrors. |
| 107 | * WithDueRespect: Boey knows that Celica is the one in charge and royalty on top of that, but he will (politely) make any dissenting opinions of his known to her. |

| 110 | [[folder:Genny ''(Jeni, Jenny)'']] |
| 111 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fe_echoes_genny.png]] |
| 112 | [[caption-width-right:200:[[labelnote:Click here to see Genny in ''Fire Emblem Heroes'']] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/genny_heroes.png[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 113 | [[caption-width-right:200:Endearing Ally]] |
| 114 | |
| 115 | A Sister of Mila working at the Novis Monastery. When Celica begins her quest, Genny accompanies her. After the war, she falls for an unknown man. |
| 116 | |
| 117 | ->'''Class:''' Cleric\ |
| 118 | '''Age:''' 15\ |
| 119 | '''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukiHorinaka (Japanese), Creator/EdenRiegel (English, credited as Claudia Lenz) |
| 120 | ---- |
| 121 | * AdaptationalDyeJob: Has pink hair in ''Gaiden''. Her hair is a pinkish-orange color in '' Echoes ''. |
| 122 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: Celica, Mae, and Boey treat her as their younger sibling. |
| 123 | * BadassAdorable: A cute young cleric who's actually a powerful and useful CrutchCharacter. |
| 124 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Genny is normally a meek and shy girl, but some of her crit quotes are...well, the exact opposite of that. |
| 125 | * CrutchCharacter: A very rare case of a ''healer'' being this. Genny learns Invoke ''much'' earlier than the other two Clerics, making her very useful in the early game. However she can only summon Soldiers, so this becomes much less helpful later on. Compare with Silque and Tatiana, who learn it much later but can summon Dread Fighters and Pegasus Knights, respectively. |
| 126 | * TheCutie: Very apparent with her voice and her mannerisms. |
| 127 | * TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: She doesn't get any supports with her friends from the priory, whereas Mae can support with Celica or Boey. |
| 128 | * HeroicBastard: According to ''Valentia Accordion'', Genny's father was an unknown nobleman with a wife and family. |
| 129 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Genny claims she can only heal minor injuries and expresses herself as being shy and somewhat meek. Her support with Sonya starts off rocky because of her feelings of inadequacy. |
| 130 | * HookedUpAfterwards: In the original game, she's noted to have fallen in love with an ally in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue. In ''Echoes'', it's stated she gets with someone that "no one would ever expect". |
| 131 | * LethalJokeCharacter: Not Genny herself, but the Soldiers she summons with her Invoke spell. Level 1 Soldiers are about as weak as you'd expect, but they have one major advantage over your actual units: [[CannonFodder expendability]]. If you have a weakened ally in the fray, [[WeHaveReserves Genny can summon her Soldiers and throw them to the wolves]], distracting your enemies and saving the named unit's life; this can be very helpful in levels like the Mila Temple where you constantly get bombarded with Gargoyles. |
| 132 | * LifeDrain: Starts with the Nosferatu spell, allowing her to heal herself by damaging enemies. |
| 133 | * LikesOlderMen: She says she prefers older men when talking to Celica about her relationship with Alm. It is probably worth mentioning that every single man in Celica's route is older than her. |
| 134 | * OddFriendship: Makes friends with Sonya, who is much older than Genny and also her complete opposite in personality--the two are nonetheless able to bond over their shared experiences with being abandoned by one of their parents at a priory. |
| 135 | * OptionalPartyMember: She's the only one of Celica's initial party to be completely optional. |
| 136 | * ParentalAbandonment: Her mother dropped her off at the priory and left her there. |
| 137 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |
| 138 | -->''"I. Do not. Like you!"''\ |
| 139 | ''"Now I'm angry!"''\ |
| 140 | ''"Sorry."''\ |
| 141 | ''"You need to move!"'' |
| 142 | * PromotedToLoveInterest: Inverted; Genny's original ending implied a romantic interest with Saber, both their endings mentioning they married someone from Celica's group, similar to Abel and Est's endings in ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'', though just like them their endings didn't change if the other died. This was the interpretation the novelization went for. However, in the remake, they cannot support, and their endings conflict with each other; Genny's establishes that she kept her husband secret, while Saber's establishes that he paraded his wife around for everyone to see. |
| 143 | * RoseHairedSweetie: Genny is a kind cleric with pinkish-orange hair. |
| 144 | * ShipperOnDeck: One of Genny's talks with Celica in ''Echoes'' reveals that she's quite interested in the outcome of her and Alm's ChildhoodFriendRomance. |
| 145 | * SummonMagic: She can learn the Invoke spell, which allows her to summon illusory Soldiers. |
| 146 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Genny's fluffy orange hair in the remake and being a starting healer is reminiscent of Lana from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar''. They are both selfless and seem to have confidence issues. |
| 147 | * WhiteMage: She can be considered a middle-ground between Silque and Tatiana, in that she's a more effective healer than Silque but her support spells aren't as useful. |

| 153 | [[caption-width-right:350:Driven Mercenary]] |
| 154 | |
| 155 | A sellsword from Rigel. He's hired by Celica to protect her group as they sail across Zofia's pirate-infested waters, but he ends up sticking around for the entire journey. After the war, he joins Jesse's newly founded desert kingdom alongside his wife. |
| 156 | |
| 157 | ->'''Class:''' Mercenary\ |
| 158 | '''Age:''' 34\ |
| 159 | '''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakehitoKoyasu (Japanese), Creator/KeithSilverstein (English, credited as David Sylvain) |
| 160 | ---- |
| 161 | * AffectionateNickname: Typically calls Celica "lass". |
| 162 | * AscendedExtra: He goes from a one-note ally in ''Gaiden'' to TheLancer in ''Echoes''. |
| 163 | * TheCasanova: He's described as rugged and attractive, and likes the company of women. Jesse claims Saber's got quite the reputation for being a heartbreaker. |
| 164 | * DefectorFromDecadence: In ''Echoes'', he was formerly a Rigelian soldier but left to become a mercenary. |
| 165 | * TheDrunkenSailor: He's introduced drunk in a bar, and is quick to make his way to a pub when the opportunity arises. |
| 166 | * DuelToTheDeath: The [[AllThereInTheManual Valentian Accordion]] states that he left the Rigelian army because he killed someone in an illegal duel. |
| 167 | * EyepatchOfPower: Wears an eyepatch, immediately designating him as a grizzled badass. His skill with the sword are no less for it, either. ''Valentia Accordion'' revealed that he lost it in a trap devised by Rigelian nobles who resented his common upbringing. |
| 168 | * FireForgedFriends: Goes from helping Celica only for the money and assuming her just a naive spoiled girl, to swearing loyalty to her cause, to basically leading the charge to rescue her in the final dungeon, displaying the same heroism he once scorned. |
| 169 | * FirstNameBasis: He forgoes his usual habit of calling Celica "lass" once she accepts her royal lineage, instead respectfully referring to her as "Princess Anthiese." The last time he calls her "lass" is in his BadassBoast in the final boss fight. |
| 170 | * AFriendInNeed: In ''Echoes'', when Celica announces her intention to invade Rigel to retrieve Mila, on what Boey warns is surely a suicide mission, Saber assures her that he has her back. |
| 171 | * GoOutWithASmile: If he is killed, he smiles and admits he had fun on the group's journey. |
| 172 | * HookedUpAfterwards: He's noted to have married someone unnamed in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue. |
| 173 | * KeepTheReward: Defied at the end of Act 2; when Celica is hesitant to accept a reward for defeating Barth, he immediately jumps at the chance for free drinks. |
| 174 | * TheLancer: Quickly develops into this for Celica, as he becomes the one most likely to debate on her choices but always follows them without issue. Since he's the more cynical person in her army, it allows him to serve as a good counter to Celica's emotional moments. |
| 175 | * NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Saber is basically a pirate yet as part of the mercenary class, his final class change is Dread Fighter, a Ninja! |
| 176 | * NotInMyContract: His reaction when Celica demands the group go out of their way to storm a pirate stronghold. As Saber finds, his duties repeatedly go beyond just guarding Celica on her way to Mila's Temple. He eventually gives up on the issue, swearing fealty to Celica after reaching the Mila Temple. |
| 177 | * {{Pirate}}: Saber is a rough man in the sea who engaged in suspicious activity. However he's the nobler kind as Celica was able to hire him as a mercenary. |
| 178 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |
| 179 | -->''"Get a load of this!"''\ |
| 180 | ''"You can't win!"''\ |
| 181 | ''"Move!"''\ |
| 182 | ''"You don't know when to quit!"'' |
| 183 | * PunchClockHero: His occupation as a sellsword means he works for whoever pays him well enough, who just happens to be Celica this time. He's well known for having just as easily done "shady" things in the past if the price is right. |
| 184 | * PromotedToLoveInterest: Inverted, the original game implied Saber hooked up with Genny via their endings. The novelization of the NES game also had them become a couple. In the remake, Saber cannot support with Genny in the added support system, while he is established as 34 years of age to her 15. |
| 185 | * RealMenWearPink: Despite Saber's very masculine appearance, he's the only male able to learn the Seraphim spell as a Mage. |
| 186 | * SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Openly speaks against Celica's idealistic attempts of talking sense into murderers and bandits, insisting that sometimes ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption. |
| 187 | * SmarterThanYouLook: He may be a washed up drunkard with a reputation for downing rot gut and chasing skirts, but he also catches on the quickest that Celica is not just any priestess, pointing out that she doesn't seem all that impressed with Castle Zofia compared to Mae and Boey. |
| 188 | * SourSupporter: Saber frequently grumbles at Celica's orders and even calls her out on her idealism, but he never considers abandoning his employer, and even muses he enjoys the party's company at times. |
| 189 | * StoneWall: Of the three mercenaries you get, Saber's high defense makes him an excellent tank for Celica's party, which starts out consisting mostly of mages. While Valbar does dethrone him in the department of physical defenses, reaching the Dread Fighter class allows Saber to tank both physical and magical attacks fairly effectively; versatility that Valbar decidedly lacks. |
| 190 | * UndyingLoyalty: After Celica accepts her heritage, Saber swears fealty to her and becomes just as loyal as Mae and Boey. In fact, in the final dungeon, he practically leads Celica's army, all in an attempt to rescue her. |
| 191 | * YouRemindMeOfX: Saber mentions that he has a younger sister and notes Celica looks a bit like her. |

| 201 | ->'''Class:''' Knight\ |
| 202 | '''Age:''' 31\ |
| 203 | '''Voiced by:''' Takahiro Fujiwara (Japanese), Creator/KyleHebert (English) |
| 204 | ---- |
| 205 | * AdaptationDyeJob: On the cover of ''Gaiden'', Valbar's hair is blue. In ''Echoes'', it's brown. |
| 206 | * AdvertisedExtra: He appears in the original ''Gaiden''[='=]s cover art, even though his overall presence, while memorable, is fairly minuscule. |
| 207 | * TheBigGuy: Easily the heartiest and biggest member of Celica's party, and a reliable tank in gameplay. |
| 208 | * BoisterousBruiser: He's very jolly and eager to fight and to protect his allies, combine that with his stature and you got one big fun fighter. |
| 209 | * BruiserWithASoftCenter: Valbar is a hulking macho man, but he has a kind heart and dearly misses his lost family. |
| 210 | * CrusadingWidower: The murder of his beloved family is what gets him, Leon, and Kamui into the plot. |
| 211 | * CrutchCharacter: To a degree, he acts as one for Celica. The majority of Celica's units are mages or mercenaries, making them all fragile and need to stay safely back or stay healed. Valbar serves as an excellent tank for the majority of Chapter 2 and 3, but loses a bit of his usefulness as the others level up and gain more spells, with Saber becoming arguably a better tank by the end, Atlas being a StoneWall thanks to his health, and Conrad becoming a good mobile tank. |
| 212 | * CripplingOverspecialization: Valbar's HP and Defense growths may be good, but his Resistance growth is literally nonexistent and his starting amount is ''0'', meaning if a mage so much as looks at him funny, he's going down, fast. This is a less of deal in the original, where everyone had bad resistance and Valbar could rely on the heavy resistance boost he got from promotion to Baron. |
| 213 | * DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Valbar lived every day for his family, so when they were killed, he had nothing but his desire for revenge. He follows Celica on her journey just to fill the void with some purpose. In the epilogue, he trains new recruits and lives his days happily surrounded by friends and admirers. |
| 214 | * HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Averted in ''Echoes'', where he was given a helmet. |
| 215 | * JoustingLance: A Knight who uses Lances. |
| 216 | * LanternJawOfJustice: His large jaw is a prominent feature. |
| 217 | * LightningBruiser: The fastest default soldier/armor unit. He's a little bit less tanky than Lukas, but he hits just as hard. |
| 218 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: For Leon. If Valbar is killed before being recruited, Leon will be left completely distraught and lost. He will angrily tell Celica he is going to protect her so Valbar at least didn't die for nothing. |
| 219 | * MightyGlacier: He naturally leans towards this as a consequence of his class line, although he can be reclassed into more of a LightningBruiser with a pitchfork. |
| 220 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |
| 221 | -->''"Time to pay!"''\ |
| 222 | ''"Have a taste of this!"''\ |
| 223 | ''"Made your peace?"''\ |
| 224 | ''"Say goodnight!"'' |
| 225 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He is introduced in the middle of one against pirate boss Barth. |
| 226 | * SoleSurvivor: Valbar's entire family (parents, younger brother, younger sister, wife and child) was murdered by Barth's pirates, leaving him as the lone survivor. He admits the pain of the loss sometimes leaves him numb. |
| 227 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Between his rough appearance, his voice, and his [[ActionDad backstory]], one would be forgiven for thinking he's significantly older than 31. |

| 236 | |
| 237 | ->'''Class:''' Archer\ |
| 238 | '''Age:''' 24\ |
| 239 | '''Voiced by:''' Kōji Takahashi (Japanese), Creator/LucienDodge (English) |
| 240 | ---- |
| 241 | * AdaptationalSexuality: The original version on the NES never showed anything of Leon's romantic preferences, though there Leon was a FlatCharacter whose only characterization was UndyingLoyalty to Valbar, who he called "Aniki" ("Big Brother"), and hinted nihilism in his death quote. |
| 242 | * AgentPeacock: He's pretty and flamboyant, but no less competent for it. |
| 243 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: He has romantic feelings for Valbar, who is not only completely oblivious but most likely [[IncompatibleOrientation straight]] (and even if not, [[CrusadingWidower still heavily grieving over his murdered family]]). Leon even confesses to him in their supports that he has unrequited feelings for someone, but understands that they probably won't come to fruition and is simply glad to have them. |
| 244 | * AllLovingHero: He's quite idealistic and willing to fight to protect anyone who needs it, according to his talks with Celica. In his own words: |
| 245 | -->"It’s hardly my fault that the world is full of wonderful, lovable people. Such a thing really motivates one to get out there and save it." |
| 246 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Leon joined the military because his FirstLove was a young man who wanted to enlist. [[LoveHurts The poor guy died in their first battle]], and Leon was shattered over it, but Valbar stayed by his side and did what he could to comfort him. And as time passed, Leon's gratitude to Valbar became [[SecondLove romantic love]]. |
| 247 | * CampGay: Very flamboyant, dislikes the idea of having girlfriends, was in love with an unnamed dead male soldier, and strongly implied to be in love with Valbar. If Valbar dies, it's said that Leon suffers a HeroicBSOD [[TheLostLenore over him]] and briefly disappears, returning later to [[MarriedToTheJob dedicate himself to be a Valentian soldier and instructor]]. He also [[MistakenForGay mistakenly believes]] that Kamui is flirting with him, and as their supports develop he keeps [[RunningGag bringing it up]] and describing Valbar as his ideal man. |
| 248 | * CareerEndingInjury: If Valbar lives, Leon's ending mentions that he ends up retiring from the army due to injuries he suffered in the final battle. He opens a shop in the city and lives the rest of his life rather happily. |
| 249 | * DeadpanSnarker: In his empty/near-empty level-up quote, supports with Kamui, and battle/map quotes. |
| 250 | -->''Empty or near-empty level-up:'' "This feels funny- and not the ha-ha kind."\ |
| 251 | ''In response to Kamui asking him to tell him something:'' "[[ExactWords Something]]."\ |
| 252 | ''Enemy misses or does 1/no damage:'' "Ugh, that almost gave me a heart attack!"\ |
| 253 | ''Nearby ally does poorly in battle:'' "Uh, maybe get out of the way?"\ |
| 254 | ''Ally gets low on HP:'' "Heal up before you croak." |
| 255 | * DeathSeeker: In his original death quote, he says he's awaited death in battle. The ''Echoes'' one has him say he pictured a more impressive death. Though Leon's supports mention he was once a DeathSeeker until Valbar's influence got him to value life again. If Valbar dies however.... |
| 256 | * DubNameChange: From "Leo" to "Leon", since the English-speaking fandom [[Characters/FireEmblemFates already had a Leo]]... whose name in Japan was ''Leon'', creating something of a Dub Name ''Swap'' situation. |
| 257 | * EyesAlwaysShut: In his original NES portrait. |
| 258 | * {{Guyliner}}: He seems to wear red eye shadow in ''Echoes''. |
| 259 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: He chooses not to force his feelings on Valbar due to IncompatibleOrientation, saying that just having those feelings was enough for him. |
| 260 | * JackOfAllStats: Leon's stats are middling across the board, aside from high Skill and low Resistance. |
| 261 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: Played with due to his hairstyle, but some of Leon's hair goes past his shoulders, and he's a definite PrettyBoy. |
| 262 | * OlderThanTheyLook: With his boyish looks and slender frame, he doesn't look much older than Celica, Mae, or Boey who are teenagers, but is actually 24. |
| 263 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |
| 264 | -->''"We're done here!"''\ |
| 265 | ''"Excuse me?"''\ |
| 266 | ''"Get lost!"''\ |
| 267 | ''"Hands off!"'' |
| 268 | * PrettyBoy: Leon is described as such in his character bio. He is one of the slimmest and prettiest male characters, with a slightly androgynous appearance that he accentuates with eye makeup, a rather feminine hairstyle, and a strict skin-care routine to keep himself looking young. |
| 269 | * SweetTooth: Loves sweet provisions. |
| 270 | * TakeThatKiss: Downplayed in his VictoryPose, where he blows a kiss toward the enemy he just killed. |
| 271 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: He loves provisions such as Yogurt, Butter, and Honey, and [[DoesNotLikeSpam dislikes meaty and refined provisions like ham, dried meat, raw meat, sausage, dried shieldfish, garlic, dagon Filet, blue cheese, and exotic spice]]. |
| 272 | * TrueCompanions: He says wherever Valbar goes, he goes. |

| 279 | A nomadic sellsword hired by Valbar to aid him in his revenge against the pirates. He joins Celica's army alongside Valbar and Leon. After the war, he joins Jesse's desert kingdom.[[note]]If Jesse is dead, he creates the kingdom in his place.[[/note]] |

| 283 | '''Voiced by:''' Shuhei Matsuda (Japanese), Creator/BrycePapenbrook (English) |
| 284 | ---- |
| 285 | * ButNowIMustGo: If Jesse lives, he joins the desert kingdom but leaves on his own later. |
| 286 | * DeathByAdaptation: In the Ozaki novels, he is killed by a Necrodragon when trying to protect Saber. |
| 287 | * EyesAlwaysShut: He is, by default, closing his eyes in ''Echoes''. |
| 288 | * JackOfAllStats: Of the three mercenaries in Celica's route, Kamui is the all-rounder with decent stats and growth in every slot. |
| 289 | * LibertyOverProsperity: While he certainly looks forward to his paycheck, what Kamui enjoys most is freedom and adventure. He enjoys the thrill that comes with his mercenary lifestyle, and discusses with Leon that looking for something can be even better than already having it. If Jesse dies, however, Kamui ends up being the one to establish the Mercenary Kingdom and it prospers under his rule. |
| 290 | * MistakenForGay: Leon seems to be convinced that Kamui is attracted to him. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments He eventually gives up on trying to argue it.]] |
| 291 | * MoneyFetish: Not as much as the series' most [[Characters/FireEmblemRecurringCharacters well known example]], but a lot of his dialogue and quotes still revolve around his love of money. |
| 292 | * OhCrap: His reaction should you wander into a necrodragon's lair in Act 2. [[https://youtu.be/c4LF3vvJzUs?t=4390 It's better if you listen.]] |
| 293 | -->'''Kamui:''' Whoa, whoa, whoa--hey, Priestess! Did you forget our little chat about staying clear of the Seabound Shrine? Because this is not staying clear! This is the exact OPPOSITE of staying clear!\ |
| 294 | '''Celica:''' I'm sorry, did we discuss that? I must have been preoccupied... What if there's something of use here? Surely you would want to-- Ooooh, I remember now. You're scared of necrodragons, aren't you, Kamui? How careless of me. It completely slipped my mind!\ |
| 295 | '''Kamui:''' Slipped your mind... That's it. I'm waiting on the boat.\ |
| 296 | '''Celica:''' Er, actually...\ |
| 297 | ''[roar]''\ |
| 298 | '''Kamui:''' [=GyaaaeeeeeeeEEEEEEEK!=] It's HERE! |
| 299 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: He even says it word for word in one of his battle quotes, and if Valbar dies before recruiting him, goes with Celica because his main source of income has died. |
| 300 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |
| 301 | -->''"You can fall down now."''\ |
| 302 | ''"Alright, alright..."''\ |
| 303 | ''"You ready?"''\ |
| 304 | ''"Say goodnight!"'' |
| 305 | * RagsToRoyalty: If Jesse dies, Kamui will establish the Mercenary Kingdom in his place, with him as king. |
| 306 | * RealMenHateSugar: Dislikes provisions with the sweet preference. |
| 307 | * RedBaron: If he survives the game but Jesse is dead, Kamui founds his own kingdom in Grieth's former territory and becomes known as the "Steel Amidst the Sand". |
| 308 | * SmugSmiler: He tends to have a smug smirk on his face, particularly in his original ''Gaiden'' depictions. |
| 309 | * WalkingTheEarth: Kamui has always lived a nomadic life following leaving his father's noble house, starting as a shepherd, and later becoming a traveling mercenary. Even in his epilogue, he lives in Jesse's Mercenary Kingdom for a while, but he inevitably leaves to wander the land once again. |
| 310 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He ''really'' doesn't like Necrodragons. He even screams in terror the first time one shows up. |
| 311 | * {{Wutai}}: |
| 312 | ** While it's not stated if he's from a Japan-inspired place, his character artwork has a [[FacialProfiling Japanese aesthetic]] and he holds his sword like a katana. |
| 313 | ** His name, ''Kamui'', is a type of spirit or entity in the mythology of the Ainu, the indigenous people of northern Japan. |

| 320 | |
| 321 | A Pegasus Knight from the continent of Archanea. Eldest sister of the Whitewings, she is in search of her sister, Est. She can potentially end up joining Celica's army. |
| 322 | |

| 326 | '''Age:''' 23\ |
| 327 | '''Voiced by:''' Creator/RisaTaneda (Japanese), Creator/AlexisTipton (English) |
| 328 | ---- |
| 329 | * ContinuityNod: Her supports with her sisters note developments from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Shadow Dragon]]'' and foreshadow the growing disturbance of Archanea in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem Mystery of the Emblem]]''. |
| 330 | * CoolBigSis: She's extremely protective of her siblings and prioritizes their happiness and safety above all else. |
| 331 | * DiscOneNuke: Thanks to Palla's high base level, it doesn't take much experience to promote her into a Falcon Knight, especially if you use the experience boosting Golden Apple and/or Seabound Shrine fountain. With this much investment she becomes a powerhouse who can handle most of Act 3 and will stay relevant all the way to endgame. |
| 332 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: Dislikes refined provisions like the dried shieldfish, dagon filet, blue cheese, garlic, and nethergranate just like Catria. |
| 333 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Palla refuses to find another lover on the request of Est with the excuse that the happiness of her sister (and to an extent, Abel) comes first. In a conversation with Celica, she also states that she refuses to admit her true feelings for this reason. |
| 334 | * {{Nerf}}: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. ''Gaiden'' and ''Shadows of Valentia'' are the only games where Palla comes off weaker than her sisters, starting at a higher level but with lower stats in everything but ATK compared to Catria. However, she retains her good growths and availability, and thanks to large maps, her mobility is even more important than it was in other games. |
| 335 | * OptionalPartyMember: Recruiting Palla is entirely optional. |
| 336 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |
| 337 | -->''"This is the end!"''\ |
| 338 | ''"Move!"''\ |
| 339 | ''"Prepare yourself!"''\ |
| 340 | ''"How about this?"'' |
| 341 | * SiblingTriangle: Palla has lingering feelings for Abel, who, following the events of the game's prequel, is currently married to her sister, Est. |
| 342 | * SurvivorGuilt: If one of her sisters dies in battle, she will ask to die instead in her mourning quote. |
| 343 | * TeamMom: Palla is described as having a motherly tone to her, which comes from looking after her sisters, especially Est. |
| 344 | * UnrequitedTragicMaiden: If she dies, her death quote implies that her last thoughts are of her love for Abel, her sister Est's husband. |
| 345 | * WhatTheHellHero: Palla will call Celica out and leave the party if she dares to advance to Mila's Tower before rescuing Est. This did not occur in ''Gaiden''. However, she and Catria can still be recruited back. |

| 361 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: A slight variant. Catria has trouble expressing herself, and she scolds Est a lot, but she does care about both of her sisters. |
| 362 | * ContraltoOfStrength: Her voice is the deepest of her sisters, and as a Whitewing, she's also an exceptionally powerful fighter. |
| 363 | * MiddleChildSyndrome: Says that she has trouble expressing herself because whenever she had something to say, one of her sisters would always say it first, and muses that it must be common for middle children to feel that way. |
| 364 | * OptionalPartyMember: Recruiting Catria is entirely optional. |

| 368 | ''"Enough."''\ |
| 369 | ''"Clear a path!"'' |
| 370 | * TheStoic: She's the most mellow of her siblings, but she's not entirely unfeeling. Catria states people tend to assume she's completely stoic because she's not as assertive as Palla, and not as perky as Est. |
| 371 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Actually a passionate and caring girl, but her rather serious voice (which is deeper than Palla's) and her tendency to be late at expressing herself makes her look like this. |
| 372 | * WhatTheHellHero: Similarly with Palla, Catria will ditch the party if Celica attempts to skip rescuing Est, a scenario exclusive to the remake. She can still be recruited again if Celica backtracks for her. |

| 382 | '''Age:''' 20\ |
| 383 | '''Voiced by:''' Tooru Sakurai (Japanese), Creator/BenPronsky (English, credited as Ben Wogan) |
| 384 | ---- |
| 385 | * AdaptationalWeaponSwap: Axes are enemy-exclusive in ''Gaiden'', but he wields them as a playable character in ''Heroes''. |
| 386 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Not on the same scale as Gray and Boey in ''Echoes'', but his skin is a bit tanner than the rest of the cast. |
| 387 | * BigBrotherInstinct: He loves his younger brothers and joins Celica's cause to save them after they are kidnapped. On a normal day, he works hard wood cutting and even does soldier work to provide for them. |
| 388 | * BoisterousBruiser: He enjoys fighting, treating warfare in much the same way as tavern brawling. |
| 389 | * CripplingOverspecialization: Atlas has extremely high HP and Attack but low everything else. Since none of the classes really work well with his base stats and growths, he is often put into the Archer class line to make a strong long distance Archer compared to Leon. |
| 390 | * FaceOfAThug: His phsyique and stern expression seem fairly intimidating, but he's really a fairly friendly person. |
| 391 | * ForbiddenFriendship: A downplayed example in that he's really awkward around Celica at first, due to their differing stations. |
| 392 | * GentleGiant: Though he's large and has muscles thanks to his job as a woodcutter and is more, Atlas ultimately thinks more on the well-being of his brothers and those close to him (such as Celica). [[BewareTheNiceOnes Just don't make him mad, okay?]] |
| 393 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: Atlas has several scars on his arms and torso. |
| 394 | * HeroicBuild: Atlas is ''huge''; he's got some of the biggest muscles in the game. |
| 395 | * MagikarpPower: Like the other Villagers he has a lot of room to grow in and can turn out quite powerful, despite his lop-sided growths. He especially sticks out because he joins about halfway through Celica's route (while the other villagers join at the beginning of the game) with a significant level disadvantage, but as an Archer with a Killer Bow can become a delete button for anyone the player doesn't like thanks to his great Attack and decent Skill. |
| 396 | * ManlyMan: A big buff man who gets a kick out of a brawl and works hard for his family. |
| 397 | * MeaningfulName: In Greek mythology, Atlas was a titan punished by Zeus to carry the weight of the heavens on his shoulders. Fittingly, Atlas boasts extremely high attack power. |
| 398 | * MightyLumberjack: Atlas gets his impressive physique from working as a woodcutter in the mountains, a job which he LOVES. |
| 399 | * MusclesAreMeaningful: He's completely ripped in his ''Echoes'' redesign. And considering his highest stat and growth is Attack, it's quite fitting. |
| 400 | * OptionalPartyMember: Recruiting Atlas is entirely optional. |
| 401 | * PermanentlyMissableContent: If you defeat Grieth before heading to the Mountain Village to recruit him, he disappears and is unrecruitable. |
| 402 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |

| 404 | ''"Show some respect!"''\ |
| 405 | ''"I'll split you like firewood!"''\ |
| 406 | ''"Get lost!"'' |
| 407 | * UnskilledButStrong: His other stats are pitiful, but his HP and strength compensate for it. |
| 408 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: All he's wearing on top is a small vest that he leaves open, exposing nearly all of his torso. |
| 409 | * WhatTheHellHero: Since his siblings were held by Grieth, Atlas will call out on Celica if she attempts to advance to Mila's Tower before beating Grieth. This did not happen in ''Gaiden''. Atlas then leaves the party but can still be picked up in his village. |
| 410 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: He's only 20 years old, but his extremely muscular physique and angular face makes him look much older. |

| 417 | |
| 418 | ->'''Class:''' Mercenary\ |

| 421 | ---- |
| 422 | * BadassInDistress: Is recruited from Grieth's dungeon, having failed to rescue Est. |
| 423 | * BerserkButton: He hates slavers, to the point of rushing after Grieth's crew on his own and getting captured when he hears they have Est. |
| 424 | * BigDamnHeroes: |
| 425 | ** {{Invoked|Trope}}. A Memory Prism shows that he followed some bandits that were following Silque so he could save and impress her. |
| 426 | ** {{Subverted|Trope}} later with Est. Jesse ''attempts'' to pull this off, but it only leads to him getting captured too. |
| 427 | * ChivalrousPervert: In the remake, he's always fawning over women, but will go to any lengths to help a DamselInDistress, following the footsteps of the other skirt-chasers from the series like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Sain]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Gatrie]] or [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Inigo]]. |
| 428 | * DumbBlonde: Downplayed. He's way too eager to get into the action when he should know better, and this is what led to his capture by Grieth's pirates in the first place. That being said, he does help Saber establish a mercenary kingdom, and later rules it quite well, which is something not just any lovable rogue could do. |
| 429 | * FaceOfAThug: He saved Silque in the past from bandits, but she mistook him for one of her attackers based on his "unwashed-roguish" appearance. This is an InformedDeformity as Jesse is actually very handsome and well groomed in appearance. |
| 430 | * FearlessFool: Jesse has a habit of throwing caution to the wind when it comes to protecting women in need. He assaulted a gang of bandits all alone to save Est, but only wound up getting captured himself. |
| 431 | * HiddenDepths: If he survives the events of the game, he founds his own mercenary kingdom in Grieth's territory... And, by all accounts, he does a pretty good job running the place. |
| 432 | * IJustWantToBeFree: Base conversations reveal that Jesse grew up with uptight parents, and left his household because his want for freedom would only cause grief and trouble to everyone involved. In his ending, he takes this up a notch by establishing a mercenary kingdom that he describes to Saber as somewhere for people who don't want a place in Rigel, Zofia, or any such social boundary. |
| 433 | * InformedDeformity: Silque describes him as resembling your typical unwashed roguish bandit in the remake when Jesse is actually very handsome and unsullied, standing in obvious contrast to the actual bandits like the Brigand Boss. |
| 434 | * ItHasBeenAnHonor: In his last words, [[GoOutWithASmile coupled with a smile]]: |
| 435 | -->"Thanks for having me along this far...See you... on the other...” |

| 438 | * MagikarpPower: Of Celica's three mercenaries, Jesse is recruited the latest, but if he's invested in he's one of Celica's strongest characters thanks to his good growths and the ability to loop back into a Villager without a Pitchfork allowing him to gain more stats. He's the example of the series' Est archetype for this game, which is ironic given Est herself is present in the game. |
| 439 | * OptionalPartyMember: Recruiting Jesse is entirely optional. |
| 440 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |
| 441 | -->''"This one's gonna hurt!"''\ |
| 442 | ''"We're done here!"''\ |
| 443 | ''"What d'ya think of this?"''\ |
| 444 | ''"Feast on this!"'' |
| 445 | * RagsToRoyalty: In his ending, Jesse becomes a king of Grieth's former territory. Not bad for a former mercenary. |
| 446 | * RealMenHateSugar: Dislikes sweets. |
| 447 | * RedBaron: If he survives the game, he founds his own kingdom in Grieth's former territory and becomes known as the "Steel Amidst the Sand". |
| 448 | * SeeYouInHell: He gives a pretty friendly one as one of his victory quotes. |
| 449 | -->"Wait for me in Hell, buddy." |
| 450 | * SmugSmiler: Downplayed. He always has a cocksure grin and a high opinion of his abilities, but he's not particularly arrogant, and comes across as a fairly nice person. |
| 451 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Meat! |

| 456 | [[caption-width-right:250:[[labelnote:Click here to see Sonya in ''Fire Emblem Heroes'']]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sonya_heroes.png[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 457 | [[caption-width-right:250:Vengeful Mage]] |
| 458 | |
| 459 | A mage unwillingly serving under Grieth, but is held in check by Deen. She joins Celica's army after Grieth's death if the party fights Deen. It is later revealed that she is the daughter of Jedah, and ran from him to avoid being sacrificed to Duma. |
| 460 | |
| 461 | ->'''Class:''' Witch (''Gaiden'', [=NPC=] only), Mage\ |
| 462 | '''Age:''' 25\ |
| 463 | '''Voiced by:''' Rei Shimoda (Japanese), [[Creator/TaraSands Tara Jayne]] (English) |
| 464 | ---- |
| 465 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Was a redhead in ''Gaiden'', but changed to purple hair in ''Echoes''. |
| 466 | * AdaptationalCurves: She appears much bustier in ''Heroes'' than in ''Echoes''. |
| 467 | * AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: In the Gaiden manga adaptation, she and Deen are implied to have romantic feelings for each other. |
| 468 | * AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Implied with her ending in ''Echoes'', where after she disappears during her search for a cure for those who have turned into witches, rumors about a witch taking residence in the Fear Mountain start to spread. Of course, given Duma is no longer around to turn new witches into husks of their former selves, it's debatable whether this is actually true or not. Her appearance as a Rearmed Hero in ''Heroes'' elaborates on this further, with Sonya mentioning in her Lv. 40 conversation that she is researching a cure to bring her sisters back to normal. She then states that such a cure would require forbidden power and she is aware that she would likely lose her own humanity in the process. Nuibaba's status as a Witch also confirms it is possible for one to become one via entities unrelated to Duma. |
| 469 | * BlowYouAway: Joins with the powerful wind spell, Excalibur. |
| 470 | * CallingParentsByTheirName: She calls her father Jedah by his name if she fights him in Act 4. Justified given how he sacrificed her sisters to Duma. |
| 471 | * CombatStilettos: Wears high heels on the battlefield. |
| 472 | * CoolBigSis: She's the oldest female character in Celica's route, and becomes this to Genny in their supports. |
| 473 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She is the youngest daughter of Jedah, the current head priest of the [[ChurchOfEvil Duma Faithful]], and who abandoned her and her sisters at a priory. Her sisters eventually had their souls offered as sacrifices to Duma, turning them into witches, and while Sonya managed to avoid this fate, she ends up having to work for the notorious thief king Grieth. |
| 474 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: Sonya dislikes sweet provisions and is the female unit to dislike it. |
| 475 | * HeelFaceTurn: She's a subordinate of Grieth, but she can be recruited by the player if they chose to fight Deen instead of her. |
| 476 | * JackOfAllStats: Compared to the other mages in the game, Sonya has the most evenly spread stat growths. Most notably in the original ''Gaiden'', where she shared the same growth rate in every stat other than Resistance. |
| 477 | * KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Wears an elegant dress with jewelry into battle. In her base conversations with Celica she mentions that she's surprised that Celica doesn't doll up more with fancy jewelry to match her good looks. Celica responds by saying that too much would just get in the way. |
| 478 | * LadyOfBlackMagic: A powerful mage with potent spells unique to her, such as Entrap. She is a lot darker and more adult-like in personality compared to Celica. |
| 479 | * MaamShock: She does not take it well when Genny says that she reminds her of her mother. |
| 480 | * MsFanservice: Her redesign in ''Echoes'' shows ''somewhat'' more skin than the other playable female characters, though not quite reaching {{Stripperiffic}} levels. She's also up there with Mathilda as one of the bustiest ladies in the game. |
| 481 | * MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: She can only be recruited if Celica chooses to fight Deen. |
| 482 | * {{Nerf}}: Downplayed. Sonya had one of the best spell lists in ''Gaiden'', but lost [[LightEmUp Seraphim]] and [[MoreDakka Sagittae]] in the transition to ''Echoes''. However, she instead gained two new supportive spells, Rewarp, and Entrap, which is unique to her, so she's still very versatile, just not quite the offensive powerhouse she originally was. |
| 483 | * OddFriendship: With Genny, who is much younger than Sonya and also her complete opposite in personality--the two are nonetheless able to bond over their shared experiences with being abandoned by one of their parents at a priory. |
| 484 | * OldMaid: She's 25 and somewhat sensitive about it, if her supports with Genny are any indication. |
| 485 | * ParentalAbandonment: Sonya was abandoned at a priory as a child along with her older two sisters by her father, Jedah. Jedah's intentions were for the three to grow up and be offered as Witches to Duma, but Sonya ran away before she could meet the same fate as her sisters. |
| 486 | * {{Patricide}}: If the player chooses her to deal the finishing blow to Jedah on the final map, she can be the one on Celica's route to commit patricide. |
| 487 | * PunchClockVillain: Although employed by Grieth, she isn't loyal to him and it's suggested by an NPC that she's probably being blackmailed by him. After Celica and her party defeat Deen and Grieth, she promptly offers to join them. |
| 488 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |
| 489 | -->''"Naughty child."''\ |
| 490 | ''"Let's have some fun."''\ |
| 491 | ''"Time for a little discipline."''\ |
| 492 | ''[[EvilLaugh *sinister chuckle*]]'' |
| 493 | * ProudBeauty: Sonya explains that, growing up in a priory, she used to be more modest, but has since come to be proud of her looks, and believes beauty should be something celebrated. She will also mock defeated enemies as being "too ugly to win." |
| 494 | * SexySlitDress: She's a MsFanservice that wears a dress with two slits in the skirt in order to show off her legs. |
| 495 | * SoleSurvivor: She’s the only one of her sisters that wasn’t sacrificed and turned into a Witch. |
| 496 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Downplayed, she and Deen both have notably malicious characterization, but are ultimately loyal enough to Celica and don't cause too much harm in the long run. |
| 497 | * TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Her father has blue skin, pointed ears, and impish features, while Sonya looks like a normal attractive woman. It's implied Jedah may been disfigured/transformed by Duma, along with her sisters. Averted in the manga, where Jedah is a normal looking, if not well aged man. |
| 498 | * VanityIsFeminine: Sonya is shown to be often concerned with appearances, having a dislike for getting dirty while fighting or becoming too muscular from a good level up. She comments that women who are beautiful should be proud of their appearances. |

| 502 | [[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deen_full.png]] |
| 503 | |
| 504 | A swordfighter who wields the Brave Sword. Like Sonya, he serves under Grieth and is being held in check by Sonya. He joins Celica's army after Grieth's death if the party fights Sonya. After the war, he leaves to a continent in the south in search of more conflict. |
| 505 | |
| 506 | ->'''Class:''' Myrmidon, Swordmaster (''Awakening'' [=SpotPass=])\ |
| 507 | '''Age:''' 30\ |
| 508 | '''Voiced by:''' Creator/TsuguoMogami (Japanese), Joe J. Thomas (English) |
| 509 | ---- |
| 510 | * AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: In the Gaiden manga adaptation, he and Sonya are implied to have romantic feelings for each other. |
| 511 | * AdaptationalVillainy: His [=SpotPass=] apearance in ''Awakening'' puts him in the villain spot, and gives him more aggressive dialogue contrary to his affable demeanor in ''Gaiden''. |
| 512 | * AscendedExtra: Though a minor optional character, Deen is one of the few ''Gaiden'' characters chosen to cameo in ''Awakening'' DLC. |
| 513 | * BloodKnight: Implied in his ending where he leaves Valentia in search of new battles. |
| 514 | * CoolSword: Is heavily associated with the Brave Sword which he comes with, which acts like [[CriticalHit the Killing Edge]] from other games. |
| 515 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: The Valentian Accordian reveals he was once an ordinary Zofian soldier until his fiancée's mansion was attacked and she was turned into a Witch, forcing him to kill her with her father's Brave Sword. |
| 516 | * DeathByAdaptation: In the ''Gaiden'' manga of 1993, Deen pulls a HeroicSacrifice to save Sonya and Celica from Grieth. |
| 517 | * EyeScream: He lost his left eye during an ambush on the way to save his fiancée from an attack. |
| 518 | * FaceOfAThug: Given his dark aesthetic and wicked-looking face, you wouldn't be blamed for thinking he really was a villain for villainy's sake. |
| 519 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a scar across his eye and is a PunchClockVillain at worst. |
| 520 | * HatesSmallTalk: He outright states in his first base conversation that he doesn't do small talk, and only starts stating his own opinions on things after Celica persists. His support with Jesse has him not wanting to talk with him until he decides that he will tell about his past if Jesse does the same. |
| 521 | * HeelFaceTurn: He's a subordinate of Grieth, but he can be recruited by the player if they chose to fight Sonya instead of him. |
| 522 | * HiddenDepths: Deen is a ''very'' aloof BloodKnight, and his [[HatesSmallTalk refusal to chat]] with Jesse and Celica at first can make him come across as a {{jerkass}}. However, in one of his later base conversations, Deen tells Celica that she better do a good job ruling Zofia to make the war worthwhile, showing a more intelligent and savvy side. |
| 523 | * KillTheOnesYouLove: After his fiancée was turned into a Witch, he was forced to kill her. |
| 524 | * MightMakesRight: His comment on the final map has him stating he isn't going to say that world ruled by might is unappealing; it's just that he isn't going to bow down to Duma anytime soon. |
| 525 | * MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: He can only be recruited if Celica chooses to fight Sonya. |
| 526 | * PaletteSwap: Blake, another one of Grieth's henchmen, uses Deen's portrait. This turns into a MythologyGag in the remake as Deen gets a redesign while Blake keeps the original appearance. |
| 527 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |
| 528 | -->''"Enough!"''\ |
| 529 | ''"It ends here!"''\ |
| 530 | ''"Accept your fate!"''\ |
| 531 | ''"Is that all you got?'' |
| 532 | * PunchClockVillain: He even lampshades it. |
| 533 | -->"No hard feelings, but there's no helping the fact that we're enemies. Have a good taste of our blades!" |
| 534 | * SlasherSmile: The rare times he's happy, expect these. |
| 535 | * StakingTheLovedOne: He was forced to kill his fiancée after she was turned into a Witch. |
| 536 | * TheStoic: To an extreme degree. It isn't until his A support with Jesse that he actually says anything meaningful, and even then doesn't divulge much. |
| 537 | * SweetTooth: Loves sweets. |
| 538 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Downplayed, he and Sonya both have notably malicious characterization, but are ultimately loyal enough to Celica and don't cause too much harm in the long run. |
| 539 | * TragicKeepsake: His Brave Sword once belonged to his fiancée's father. He was forced to use it on her when she was turned into a Witch. |

| 546 | |
| 547 | A Pegasus Knight from the continent of Archanea and the youngest sister of the Whitewings. She was captured by Grieth at some point and brought to his fortress in Valentia, where she can be rescued by Celica and join the party. |
| 548 | |
| 549 | For tropes concerning Est's appearances in ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'' and ''Mystery of the Emblem'', see her entry on the ''[[Characters/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light]]'' [[Characters/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight character page]]. |

| 553 | '''Voiced by:''' Creator/RieMurakawa (Japanese), Creator/BriannaKnickerbocker (English) |
| 554 | ---- |
| 555 | * BoyishShortHair: In contrast to her more feminine sisters. |
| 556 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Her presents for Catria all turn out to be fantastically-described junk that she seems to genuinely believe is special. |
| 557 | * DamselInDistress: The whole reason the Whitewings are in Valentia is because she was kidnapped by pirates and her sisters came to rescue her. |
| 558 | * GenkiGirl: She's always peppy and exuberant, much more so than either of her older sisters. |
| 559 | * HappilyMarried: Following the events of ''Gaiden'''s prequel, Est is betrothed to Abel, and was just beginning to live a happy, peaceful life. |
| 560 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: Est mentions that she wants to stop being a warrior, settle down, and run a shop with her husband. Life instead conspired against her, as she got kidnapped by Grieth and ends up partaking in Celica's quest. |
| 561 | * IOweYouMyLife: She offers to join the party since Celica helped her sisters rescue her. |
| 562 | * MagikarpPower: Yet again she starts off the weakest and becomes stellar after training. Thankfully, unlike her other appearances, she actually has a good amount of time to catch up to her sisters, coming at around the midway point of the game and the game itself having random encounters for her to rack up experiences. It also helps that every unit in the party can be deployed in overworld battles. |
| 563 | * TheMatchmaker: Although she doesn't get the chance, she expresses interest in setting Palla up with one of their male teammates. |
| 564 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |
| 565 | -->''"Coming through!"''\ |
| 566 | ''"Thought you could win?"''\ |

| 568 | ''"Nowhere to run!"'' |

| 575 | |
| 576 | The head of the Novis Monastery, and the man who taught Mae, Boey, and Genny magic. He has been watching over Celica for years, and after she left on her journey, he secretly followed her, joining her army after she found him fallen through a hidden passage. After the war, he unifies the churches of Mila and Duma. |

| 581 | ---- |
| 582 | * BadassPreacher: Nomah is the head priest of the priory of the Goddess Mila, and is a master of sage magic. |
| 583 | * CoolOldGuy: Nomah is idolized by his young students for his skill and wisdom. |
| 584 | * CrutchCharacter: His main purpose is to be a secondary sage if you didn't level up Boey or one of the villagers. |
| 585 | * DirtyOldMan: Seems to have some shades of this in his supports with Celica, where he pretends to be aching to get her to give him massages. |
| 586 | * GoodShepherd: Nomah is a kind priest of Mila. He's also not a religious bigot, as he unites the religions of Duma and Mila in his ending. |
| 587 | * OptionalPartyMember: He stands out in this department, being hidden in the basement of Mila Temple in Act 4, and can easily be missed. |
| 588 | * OverratedAndUnderleveled: Despite being a powerful sage in-story, he's pretty underwhelming in battle. He can certainly contribute, though, and it doesn't hurt to bring him along, especially if your other magic-users haven't promoted yet. |
| 589 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |

| 601 | [[caption-width-right:300:Masked Knight]] |
| 602 | |
| 603 | Celica's older half-brother, born from a union between King Lima and an unnamed Rigelian woman. He was thought to have died from the same fire that almost killed Celica, but he was saved by a maid and later raised by Halcyon. He returns as a mysterious masked knight who occasionally appears to aid his younger sister, eventually revealing his identity and joining Celica's party. Introduced in ''Echoes''. |
| 604 | |
| 605 | ->'''Class:''' Paladin\ |
| 606 | '''Age:''' 21\ |
| 607 | '''Voiced by:''' Yuki Kodaira (as a child) and Creator/TakuyaSato (Japanese), Creator/BrycePapenbrook (as a child) and Creator/MarcDiraison (English) |
| 608 | ---- |
| 609 | * BeneathTheMask: Almost literally. While wearing his mask, he acts mysterious and aloof, but without it, he is shown to drop this attitude and becomes much more lighthearted and whimsical, providing some pretty funny moments. Conrad only shows this side of his personality in front of Celica, with the latter remarking that she feels like she has two older brothers. |
| 610 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Very protective of his younger sister Celica. |
| 611 | * BigDamnHeroes: Saves Celica multiple times at the last minute over the course of the story. |
| 612 | * CanonForeigner: He wasn't in the original ''Gaiden''. |
| 613 | * ChickMagnet: His ending notes that he's popular with the ladies but shuns them all. |
| 614 | * ContinuityNod: His mask is the same one Sirius wears in ''Mystery of the Emblem''. |
| 615 | * CoolMask: Wears a mask, as seen in his artwork. He uses it for three specific reasons: to cultivate [[KnightInShiningArmor a "cool" persona as a masked knight]], to protect his identity from the Rigelians, and to keep his half-sister Celica from finding out who he is. It's so cool that it turns out to be the same mask that Zeke/Camus wore when he returns to Archanea as Sirius the following year. |
| 616 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Being one of Lima IV's children ''and'' the son of a Rigelian woman, Conrad was badly treated in the Zofian court; Lady Liprica and later her daughter/his younger half-sister Anthiese/Celica were among the few who treated him well. He managed to escape Desaix's attacks with one of his mother's maids (but he thought Celica had died) and they reached for the Sage's Hamlet, where Halcyon trained him. |
| 617 | * HiddenDepths: Beneath the Masked Knight persona, he's actually a very goofy older brother with a silly and lighthearted personality, which is especially evident in his supports with Celica. In fact, one of the reasons he started the whole Masked Knight affair was so that [[RuleOfCool he could be more cool]]. |
| 618 | * HouseHusband: After going into hiding, he lived under the protection of the sage Halcyon. There, he studied and learned swordsmanship, as well as did all of Halcyon's cooking and cleaning, making him quite adept. |
| 619 | * IdentityConcealmentDisposal: Averted. Even after TheReveal, he keeps his mask due to RuleOfCool and only removes it for Celica. Eventually played straight when he gives his mask to Zeke the following year so he can become Sirius and return to Archanea. |
| 620 | * InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Lacking his mask, Conrad reveals that he is quite adept in feminine tasks. In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', his Valentine alt has him excitedly looking around the festival just to find lots of gifts for his sister, and he fights with a bouquet of flowers. |
| 621 | * JackOfAllStats: Out of all the Cavaliers available, Conrad is the most balanced overall. He also has the highest Resistance growth and comes with good base stats, making him very flexible. |
| 622 | * MageKiller: Due to having the highest Resistance growth in the entire game barring DLC characters (even if it's only eight percent), and having a good base stat of twelve, Conrad is the best overall melee unit to take care of enemy mages besides Celica and any unit who is a Dread Fighter. |
| 623 | * MarriedToTheJob: According to his ending, he eventually becomes the second Chancellor of the newborn Kingdom of Valentia. He's so dedicated to his job that he never marries, despite [[ChickMagnet being quite admired by the ladies]]. |
| 624 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: When they were kids, Conrad was sensitive and timid while Celica was brave and mature. As an adult though, he's put his insecurities behind him and develops quite the BigBrotherInstinct towards Celica. |
| 625 | * MercyKill: One of the few party members to show respect to Duma in the final battle, treating it as a merciful end for a noble god. Due to being raised by Sage Halcyon, this is likely due to knowing more about Duma's madness then most people. |
| 626 | * MysteriousProtector: Conrad is initially an enigma that shows up to assist Celica at various points, but quickly vanishes when he's no longer needed. The group {{lampshade|Hanging}} this a few times, and Boey even comments he's starting to get used to it. |
| 627 | * NoNameGiven: Was only referred to as the Masked Knight before revealing himself to be Celica's older brother. |
| 628 | * PreMortemOneLiner: |
| 629 | -->''"Scatter before me!"''\ |
| 630 | ''"Consider it an honor!"''\ |
| 631 | ''"Farewell!"''\ |
| 632 | ''"This is your fate!"'' |
| 633 | * RagsToRoyalty: Like Celica, he is a Snow White-type. He started as a prince who was ostracized because of his Rigelian blood, had to escape from Desaix, was raised and trained in the Sage's Hamlet, and later reunites with his sister and helps her in her quests, becoming a ReasonableAuthorityFigure if he lives through the story. |
| 634 | * RequiredPartyMember: He is one of the few characters on Celica's route whose recruitment is not optional. |
| 635 | * RecurringElement: Is yet another [[CoolMask Masked]] Knight in the series, much like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem Sirius]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Lucina]]. Funnily enough Sirius also appears in ''Echoes'' as Zeke, which takes place before ''Mystery of the Emblem'' and before he adopted his masked persona; presumably he got the idea from Conrad. |
| 636 | * RuleOfCool: One of the reasons he wears the mask, alongside the practical motive of concealing himself from his various enemies. After his DramaticUnmask, he keeps the mask solely for this reason. |
| 637 | * SecretIdentity: He hides his face to conceal his identity as a presumed-dead prince of Zofia from his enemies. |
| 638 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Conrad_Portrait.png Conrad's unmasked portrait]] shows that he looks ''quite'' a bit like Celica. The physical similarities are ''even more striking'' when the player compares [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Young_Conrad.png his child portrait]] [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Young_Celica_Portrait.png with hers.]] |
| 639 | * TimeShiftedActor: He's voiced by Creator/MarcDiraison and Creator/TakuyaSato as an adult, but Creator/BrycePapenbrook and Yuki Kodaira as a child. |
| 640 | * TookALevelInBadass: Conrad was very meek and cowardly as a child, and would have to hold Celica's hand for reassurance whenever he was scared. As an adult, he's fighting Terrors on his own and rescues Celica multiple times. |
| 641 | * TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: A {{gender flip}}ped example. His and Celica's DisappearedDad [[https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/3/3b/Lima_IV_cutscene.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170413110135 Lima IV]] was seen in a flashback in ''Echoes'': while he wasn't a 100% {{gonk}}, he looked [[LeanAndMean extremely slim]] and [[CreepyShadowedUndereyes very creepy "shadowed" undereyes]]. It's a good thing his surviving children got only their hair color from him, physically speaking. |
