15The son and heir of Duke Byron of Chalphy, left behind in Chalphy with a only small retinue of knights while the bulk of Grannvalian forces are off to war in Isaach. His departure to handle the Verdane attack on Yngvi sets off a chain of events which changes Jugdral forever...

21----
22* ActionHero: When people cause him problems, his typical response is to hit them until they stop breathing. [[spoiler:This is deconstructed when the corrupt Grannvale nobles take advantage of him to conquer the entire continent, and he pays for his mistakes with his life.]]
23* AncestralWeapon: Tyrfing, which originally belonged to the Crusader Baldur.
24* ArchEnemy: Along with Byron, he is considered one by Lombard and Reptor. Why? [[EvilIsPetty Because his house has always been close to the royal family]].
25* BackFromTheDead: In ''Heroes'', he has several quotes implying that [[spoiler:he has somehow been summoned from after his own demise at the hands of Arvis, since he shows great regret for all of the burdens he has left on Seliph's shoulders]]. Confirmed in the end of Tempest Trial Doorway to Destiny, where Marth tells him that [[spoiler:he was summoned as a Hero after he was killed.]]
26* BestFriendsInLaw: With Quan, who is married to his sister Ethlyn.
27* BewareTheNiceOnes: On one hand, you have the guy whose kindness Oifey marvels at. On the other hand, endanger his friends and see how well ''that'' goes.
28* BrotherSisterTeam: Sigurd and Ethlyn are the subtle introduction to this mechanic, and one of the two sibling teams in Generation 1.
29* TheCameo: Ike has a PaletteSwap based on him in the ''Super Smash Bros'' series.
30* CelibateHero: he never had any romantic inclinations towards women until he met Deirdre.
31* ChildhoodFriends: With Edain, Quan, and Eldigan. [[spoiler:The last one unfortunately ends in tragedy.]]
32* CoolSword: The Silver Sword he starts off with, and then Tyrfing.
33* CrutchCharacter: He has a unique status for a Lord; Sigurd can pretty much handle most if not all of Generation 1 by himself, but using him too much will sap experience away from the other characters, having a negative effect on their children.
34* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair and blue eyes.
35* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Sigurd is your basic noble ''Fire Emblem'' hero holding fast to his beliefs. Unfortunately for him, his optimism and noble nature become a double-edged sword in the grand scheme of things, as his BlackAndWhiteMorality leads him to solve his problems by just defeating his enemies. Many of his conflicts are the result of being too much like a typical ''Fire Emblem'' Lord, and not being savvy enough to think things through. For instance, in the game at least, his fight with Clement was almost completely unnecessary. Clement only mobilized because Sigurd had conquered a third of the country and Clement assumed it was an invasion. Clement even viewed himself as a dying hero fighting the evil invaders. [[spoiler:His inability to think past his own beliefs and instead think about long term effects ends up leading to his death when Arvis uses him to kill off many of the more powerful leaders so that he can create an empire. History remembers him not as a noble warrior, but as the cause of most of the problems, and this only changes once the Grannvale Empire is fully corrupted from within]].
36* DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler:His son Seliph takes over the plot after his death and ends up unifying the accidental conquests.]]
37* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Once he sees that Deirdre has been brainwashed into forgetting him and realizes that Arvis has set the whole thing up to rule the kingdom, he completely loses all faith in everything, and his last words end up being a rage-filled short curse unlike his previous dignified speech style to show him losing it.]]
38* {{Determinator}}: Do '''not''' screw with this man's friends. And ''especially'' do not use them like pawns. [[spoiler:Chagall found this out the hard way.]]
39* DisappearedDad: His father goes missing after being framed for treason. [[spoiler:Later, he becomes this for his own son. Thanks a bunch, Arvis.]]
40* DiedStandingUp: [[spoiler: In the novelization by Genichiro Suzuki, Arvis' murder of Sigurd has him torch Sigurd until he's a charred corpse standing still.]]
41* DyingCurse: [[spoiler:Before Arvis murders Sigurd with his Valflame attack, Sigurd curses Arvis with his last words. Considering the fact that Arvis had stolen Sigurd's wife Deidre and just ordered his entire army to be executed alongside him, it is understandable that even a dignified nobleman like Sigurd would react this way.]] In the Japanese version, Sigurd calls him "kisama!" which literally means "you" but in an extremely insulting way.
42-->'''Sigurd''': ...D... DAMN YOU, [[spoiler:ARVIS!!]] ([[spoiler:アルヴィス]]! ・・・きさま!, [[spoiler:Aruvisu!]] ...KISAMA!)
43* EmpoweredBadassNormal: He starts and remains a great unit, but once he gets the Tyrfing, he becomes absolutely unstoppable.
44* ExperiencedProtagonist: Zigzagged. In terms of martial might, he starts the game promoted and at level 5 is also the highest-leveled unit you get in the prologue. However, in terms of life experience, despite being one of the oldest heroes in the series[[note]]roughly 22-23 at the start and 26-27 at the end according to the manga; the only other heroes in their mid-twenties are Micaiah (at least 23, presumably a little older) and the post-timeskip lords of ''Three Houses'' (Byleth is 25, while Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude are all 23 and Claude turns 24 near the end of his story)[[/note]] he proves to be reckless and shortsighted, with enormous consequences.
45* FailureHero: The only thing he genuinely manages to do right is sire his son Seliph and keep him out of the bad guys' hands. Every other attempt he makes at heroism either plays into the villains' hands or is rendered meaningless in the long run. [[spoiler:His efforts to rescue Edain and repel Chagall's invasion result in the kingdoms of Verdane and Agustria being put under the increasingly imperialistic Grannvale's abusive dominion, putting down Myos and Daccar's coup does nothing to stop Silesse from being subjugated by Grannvale, killing Lombard and Reptor only serves to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness dispose of troublesome former allies of Arvis who have outlived their usefulness]], and his attempt to clear his name only gets him and most of his army killed.]]
46* FatalFlaw: Sigurd relies on military prowess to get the job done, and his faith in the power of his own good intentions and sense of BlackAndWhiteMorality makes him easy to manipulate--he trusts Arvis because Arvis acts honorable and helpful ''to him'', and fails to see the plotting going on behind his back. He doesn't believe Grannvale's nobles would stoop to genuine treachery, and his refusal to back down from a fight if he thinks it's the right thing to do provokes neutral parties into combat, entangling him further in conflict--even against Eldigan. He doesn't realize he's served his country only as a useful idiot until they discard him at the end of Chapter 3. [[spoiler:In the end, his attempt to force his way back into Grannvale to prove his innocence costs him his life.]]
47* FightsLikeANormal: Sigurd doesn't really get to reap the rewards of his Holy Blood (namely, usage of the Tyrfing) for a huge portion of his story. Furthermore, unlike other ''Fire Emblem'' Lords, he doesn't even get a unique personal weapon or even a special event item like Lex's Brave Axe. As such, this forces him to rely on the more mundane weapons in the world, such as the Silver Sword... all of which he can kick considerable amounts of arse with.
48* GoodIsNotSoft: He always means well, but war is war.
49* HappilyMarried: To Deirdre. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, it ends in tragedy.]]
50* TheHero: He fights injustice across Jugdral, and inspires a large amount of disparate people to join him, from peasant dancers to other royals.
51* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:He's branded as a traitor and killed when he returns to his country. He is the only lord in the series to actually die in their own game (and stay down for good).]]
52* HeroesPreferSwords: He's capable of using any sword in the game, except the Balmung and Mystletainn (which are personal weapons anyway).
53* HeroicLineage: Of the Baldur bloodline and inheritor of its AncestralWeapon.
54* HumbleHero: Sigurd really doesn't have any ambition beyond protecting his friends.
55* InfinityMinusOneSword: In the prologue, Arvis gives him a Silver Sword, which will carry him clear through to Chapter 5 where he gets the Tyrfing. [[spoiler:Since Seliph can't directly inherit Tyrfing, it is wise to keep the Silver Sword so Seliph can start out with a powerful weapon.]]
56* InfinityPlusOneSword: Gets the Tyrfing Sword from his father early in chapter 5, and proceeds to wreak havoc with it after you spend all of his hard-earned money to repair the broken thing.
57* InSeriesNickname: In the Nuts Fujimori manga, Quan affectionately nicknames him "Sigulin" (a {{Portmanteau}} of "Sigurd" and "Ethlyn").
58* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:One of the seven main characters of the first generation playable crew to unambiguously end up dead by the time Seliph's quest begins. He is betrayed and murdered by Arvis in the Battle of Belhalla.]]
59* KnightInShiningArmor: Deirdre views him as one in the Oosawa manga.
60* LateArrivalSpoiler: [[spoiler:He dies, along with almost everyone else in his army, but seeing as how everyone knows about Gen 2 now and how it's almost impossible not to find out before beating Gen 1, it's not as surprising.]]
61* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://serenesforest.net/music/genealogy-of-the-holy-war-original-soundtrack/ Birth of the Holy Knight]].
62* LightIsGood: He's a descendant of Baldur, the Crusader of Light. He doesn't get any magic, though.
63* LightningBruiser: One of the most outstanding examples in the series. His bases are enough to outclass any physical unit, plus he has the highest growth rate total by far of the entire first generation.
64* LoveAtFirstSight: He fell for Deirdre the moment he saw her. In a twist on ObliviousToLove, however, he doesn't seem to fully realize this until they meet again.
65* MageKiller: Once he gets [[InfinityPlusOneSword the Tyrfing]], which gives a huge Resistance bonus.
66* MiscarriageOfJustice: [[spoiler:He is the victim of this. Arvis killed him for a crime he didn't commit - namely, being complicit in the murder of the prince.]]
67* NiceJobBreakingItHero: A quest to rescue a friend quickly snowballs into him conquering most of the continent. Although he only intends to help people, Grannvale's less-savory nobles (and TheChessmaster behind it all) easily take advantage of this.
68* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:The manga shows that when Arvis killed him only ashes and his sword remained.]]
69* ThePeterPrinciple: In terms of him being a warrior, he is peerless. In terms of him being a commander, he is excellent. However, his BlackAndWhiteMorality mindset, habit of using battle as a first resort, and overly trusting nature make him an absolute disaster when he ends up in control of half the continent.
70* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Him and Ethlyn.
71* PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''.
72-->"Here I come!"\
73"One strike will decide it all!"\
74"I cannot allow this."\
75"Raise your sword!"
76* PurposefullyOverpowered: If one counts the first part of ''Genealogy'' to be its own campaign (which it functionally is), Sigurd is regarded as ''the'' strongest Lord in the franchise. He starts promoted in a game with no downside to being promoted, his growths are ridiculous due to major holy blood, his weapons are excellent, he's incredibly mobile in a game with giant maps, and once he's picked up Tyrfing, he might as well be invincible. This is to make as sure as possible that you'll miss him when he's gone.
77* RankScalesWithAsskicking: While this is true of most ''Fire Emblem'' lords, Sigurd takes the cake. Out of all of his forces, the toughest one of the lot is Sigurd himself.
78* RescueRomance: With Deirdre, whom he rescues from an unnamed lowlife.
79* ShipperOnDeck: Ships Lewyn/Erinys in the Oosawa manga. Lewyn is not amused.
80* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler:He rescues his friend, deposes a couple of corrupt rulers, and ends Silesse's civil war. But his search for Deirdre ends with her amnesiac and married to another man, he's unable to clear his name, he's summarily executed, and he accidentally turned his country into an ''empire'' that goes on to oppress all the places he freed, and then some.]]
81* SingleTargetSexuality: He never shows the slightest hint of being romantically/sexually attracted to anyone but Deirdre.
82* SorryThatImDying: His death quote has him apologize to his army.
83* SpiritAdvisor: [[spoiler:He comes back in a secret cutscene very late in the second generation just to tell Seliph not to let Arvis's death go to his head, and that he still has a ways to go before he understands just what the whole war's been about.]]
84* StarCrossedLovers: [[spoiler:With Deirdre, sadly]].
85* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute:
86** You'd be forgiven if you initially mistook him for "[[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Marth]] on a horse." His class, Knight Lord, combines the Paladin template with [[MagikarpPower Lord-like]] stat-growths.
87** Much of his characterization and background can be traced back to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Alm]]. He's fairly aggressive (compared to peaceful-type Lords like Marth), optimistic and kind, and driven to protect the innocent. [[spoiler:He also ends up conquering the whole continent without initially intending to, though it ends much worse for him than Alm]].
88* ATasteOfPower: Sigurd will acquire Tyrfing from his [[spoiler:late father]] and can demolish the rest of Chapter 5, easily dealing with Reptor with his high resistance. [[spoiler:Then he dies, and Tyrfing is in the hand of Arvis until Seliph acquires it in the late game]].
89* ThisIsUnforgivable: [[spoiler:Killing his father]], as he informs Lombard if he gets to attack him.
90* TragicHero: He's honorable and compassionate, but he doesn't think through the consequences of his actions, which [[spoiler:has fatal consequences for him and his friends]].
91* TraumaCongaLine: [[spoiler:The final third of the first generation is where things start to really go downhill for Sigurd. First, he laments the demise of his friend Eldigan, whose death made him question if his efforts to save Agustria from its civil war had been in vain. He later finds out that his wife Deirdre went missing while he was away. Then after fending off the nearby pirates invading Agustria, the Grannvale army led by Lombard and Reptor arrive, branding Sigurd as a traitor, forcing him to flee to Silesse. When he reunites with his father, he can only grieve as the latter perishes from his injuries. After slaying Lombard, Sigurd convinces Oifey and Shannan to take the infant Seliph to safety, knowing he may not survive to see his son again. Later, he's distraught when a village elder informs him that Ethlyn and Quan were killed in the desert. Following tragedy after tragedy, things seemed to start to take a turn for the better when Sigurd finds out that Arvis is vouching for him and intends on clearing his name. ''Wrong''. Arvis still intends on going through with executing Sigurd and his army for treason. And to add insult to injury, Sigurd finally gets to see Deirdre again, only to find out that she is now ''Arvis's'' wife, and doesn't even remember who Sigurd is, much to his shock and horror. In the end, he lets out one final DyingCurse towards Arvis as he gets incinerated alive with a blast of Valflame]].
92* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:The corrupt Grannvale nobles take advantage of the chaos he leaves in his wake to conquer the western half of Jugdral and rule it as a despotic empire.]]
93* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:The corrupt nobles of Grannvale take advantage of his conflicts with Verdane and Augustria to take over their lands and rule over them as an empire.]]
94* VindicatedByHistory: In-universe. [[spoiler:When he died and Arvis' reign was growing and entering its golden age, he was known as a traitor of the Empire and accordingly punished. When Arvis' empire spiraled down to tyranny, public opinions on Sigurd got a whole lot better, to the point where he became known as a tragic FolkHero.]]
95* WarriorPrince: He's not a prince, but he's heir to a dukedom that is known for its proximity to the throne. While he isn't oblivious to Grannvale's internal politics (he's well-aware that Reptor and Lombard hate Chalphy), he never seems to get that when the son of Azmur and Kurth's closest adviser crosses the border with an armed force, it looks a lot like a declaration of war by all of Grannvale.
96* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: As with all other ''Fire Emblem'' protagonists, his death results in a game over. [[spoiler: Except, of course, in [[WhamEpisode Chapter 5's epilogue]]...]]
97* TheWisePrince: He would honestly prefer to leave places like Verdane and Agustria to govern themselves once he removes their corrupt rulers.
98* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:After manipulating him into conquering the west half of Jugdral and disposing of his former allies, Arvis betrays and murders Sigurd at the end of the first generation to consolidate his own power.]]
99* YouKilledMyFather: Takes great satisfaction in taking down Lombard and Reptor in chapter 5 for betraying Byron and framing House Chalphy for the murder of the Grannvale prince.

102[[folder:Alec]]
103[[quoteright:143:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alecfe4.png]]
104
105A knight of Chalphy, one of the few remaining with everyone else off to war. Loose, relaxed, and something of a womanizer.
106
107->'''Class:''' Cavalier
108----
109* BirdsOfAFeather: With Silvia. They're both flirty and flippant in their first conversation, and easy to pair off.
110* BoringButPractical: His skills won't make him the most unique or spectacular unit in the game compared to, say, his fellow Cavalier Naoise, but they are undeniably useful and go a long way towards his contributions to the team.
111* ChivalrousPervert: Alec is the most flirtatious man in the player's army, and if paired with Brigid, she warns him that he'd better not step out on her now that they're married. Could even be argued as being the predecessor to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Sain]].
112* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green hair and green eyes.
113* FragileSpeedster: Specializes in speed, but lacks Naoise's defense stats.
114* NoSell: His personal skill, Nihil, nullifies skills and critical hits.
115* PowerNullifier: His Nihil skill makes him immune to anti-cavalry since effective damage are critical hits in this game. He could also pass the skill to children with a mounted class, also making them immune to anti-cavalry or [[AntiAir anti-flying]] if he's Fee's father. As an added bonus, this skill also makes him immune to {{Critical Hit}}s.
116* RecurringElement: The Green Cavalier of ''Genealogy of the Holy War''. In addition, Alec started the trend of a member of the player's army who's a flirt.
117* ShotgunWedding: Implied to be the case in his lover's conversation with Silvia.
118* SuckMyRose: Tries to seduce Ayra with this several times in the Nuts Fujimori manga. Hilariously fails each time.
119* UncertainDoom: One of the few characters whose fate is left ambiguous after the Battle of Belhalla.
120[[/folder]]
121
122[[folder:Naoise (Noish)]]
123[[quoteright:143:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/noishfe4.png]]
124
125A knight of Chalphy, one of the few remaining with everyone else off to war. Devoted and fiery.
126
127->'''Class:''' Cavalier
128----
129* CriticalHitClass: He has Critical as a personal skill, allowing him to perform critical hits without needing a weapon with a 50-kill bonus, a combination bonus from a lover, or the Wrath skill. If married, he will pass this skill down to his children in the second generation.
130* HotBlooded: Comes off as more passionately serious than Alec.
131* LightningBruiser: Can be this if his Duel & Critical skills kicks in often enough.
132* MagikarpPower: An interesting example considering his early join time. Naoise's skills are initially very inconsistent, but can actually be very potent if he obtains the pursuit skill through the Pursuit Ring, allowing him to be a very explosive combat unit at the cost of waiting for it to come in Chapter 2. These skills can also be passed onto his children who can make just as much use of it as he can.
133* NiceGuy: He's very emotional, but he still is very kind around others and has a strong sense of justice.
134* RecurringElement: The Red Cavalier of ''Genealogy of the Holy War''.
135* SorryThatImDying: His death quote is him apologizing to Sigurd.
136* TheWorfEffect: In the Oosawa manga, Naoise is among the victims of [[spoiler:Sandima's poisonous Fenrir spell]]. He does survive, though.
137* UncertainDoom: One of the few characters whose fate is left ambiguous after the Battle of Belhalla.

142[[caption-width-right:240:[[labelnote:Click here to see Arden in ''Fire Emblem Heroes'']]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arden_heroes.png[[/labelnote]]]]
143[[caption-width-right:240:Strong and Tough]]
144
145A knight of Chalphy, one of the few remaining with everyone else off to war.
146
147->'''Class:''' Sword Armour (''[=FE4=]''), Knight (''Awakening'' [=SpotPass=])\
148'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ToruOkawa (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/MickWingert (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
149----
150* AdaptationalBadass: ''Heroes'' makes him a rather unique MightyGlacier, having one of the lowest Speed and Resistance stats in the whole game, but also some of the highest HP, Attack, and Defense. What makes him unique is his special Follow-Up Ring, which allows him to always perform an extra attack [[ActionInitiative regardless of his actual Speed stat]] if he's at or above half HP at the start of combat. Combined with his Brave Sword and the later released Arden's Blade, this allows him to be one of the only armored units in the game to be capable of consistently performing quadruple attacks. Add in an inherited Special such as Bonfire or Ignis that takes advantage of his obscene Defense, and he's a much tougher beast than he was in his game of origin. Also put in the fact that his old problem (being a low movement unit in a game with huge maps) is omitted (the maps in ''Heroes'' are much smaller and there are multiple ways to make an Armor unit more mobile there), he can put his new advantages to use more often.
151-->'''Arden:''' I like fighting with you! I do a lot better than I normally would.
152* BerserkButton: Don't call him slow!
153* ButtMonkey: He is always picked on for his slowness, InUniverse and not. His unique events play this up.
154* CantCatchUp: In spades. Being a low-movement, low speed Armor Knight wielding swords ''really'' hurts his usability in the long run, and being forced to do nothing but lag behind for the entirety of the 1st Gen forces most players to bench him after the first couple chapters. In the game where you actually get to deploy your entire army simultaneously.
155* CatchPhrase: He likes to claim that he's "strong and tough", [[RunningGag but don't call him slow!]]
156* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the MightyGlacier. A lot of his characterization stems from the fact that he's a heavy infantry unit in a game whose design strongly favors cavalry, and his slowness means he can't get to the front lines in time to do anything important and is thus always stuck on castle defense duty. It's [[DeconReconSwitch reconstructed]] in ''Heroes'' where the battles take place in much closer quarters that play to his strengths a lot better, and he notes in a piece of dialogue that he does a lot better in the Order of Heroes than he normally does.
157* FaceOfAThug: In official arts, he wasn't that bad looking, but his art in ''Heroes'' made him look like a convicted thug. Still, he's a GentleGiant.
158* GentleGiant: Say what you will about his stats and looks, the man's got a heart as big as his armor.
159* GuideDangIt:
160** Similar to Lex, Arden needs a ring in order to get the Pursuit skill. The event he gets it from is similarly out of the way and not foreshadowed at all. Even if you got Lex's Brave Axe, you would still have to guess randomly about who has an event on that tiny peninsula.
161** Arden has another such event in Chapter 5 which not only requires Arden to stand on one particular out-of-the-way tile, but also requires him to be married, which players are unlikely to do unprovoked.
162* HugeGuyTinyGirl: If you choose to pair him, he will tower over his wife.
163* IRegretNothing: His death quote has him claim this, having been proud to have served Sigurd all his life.
164* JokeCharacter: Man, if he doesn't know how hard it is to use him well.
165* MightyGlacier: He has excellent defense but hardly any movement. This is particularly pronounced in ''Heroes'', where he has had the most base HP (60) all the way since his release in October of 2017 and was the first unit to have 40 base Defense, but he has one of the lowest Speed stats in the game at 16.
166* NoSell: Upon Class Changing to General, he gets Pavise, which nullifies any damage.
167* OvershadowedByAwesome: He would make at least a passable father if not for the fact that Lex offers very similar, but better growths, the same skill (Vantage), all on top of the infinitely more desirable Paragon skill. As a result he is often overlooked in this regard.
168* PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''.
169-->"I'm strong, and you're toast."\
170"I'm strong and I'm tough!"\
171"Nnn…ngh!"\
172"Ain't no way I'm gonna die!"
173* RecurringElement: The first Armor Knight in the game in the vein of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Draug]]. Arden even looks like a more rugged version of Draug.
174* SelfDeprecation: Considering how the other Armor Knights in prior games tended to struggle with being useful, Arden is basically one big LampshadeHanging of their issues.
175* TemptingFate: In Chapter 5, if Arden is married and waits on a cliffside northwest of Castle Phinora, he will express joy in being a father and husband, and declares he cannot go dying yet. Considering [[spoiler:what happens at the end of the chapter and what may or may not have happened to him along with most of Sigurd's army...yeah]].
176* UglyGuyHotWife: More "homely" than outright ugly, but since all the women are stunners, this happens if he's paired at all.
177* UncertainDoom: One of the few characters whose fate is left ambiguous after the Battle of Belhalla.
178* UndyingLoyalty: In ''Heroes'', he's this to Sigurd, in one of his idle quotes.
179-->'''Arden''': Things in my world... Not so good right now. I just stick with Lord Sigurd. I'll serve him up until the very end.\

193* BigDamnHeroes: In the Oosawa manga's rendition of the Prologue, he shows up and saves [[spoiler:Midir]] when he's held hostage by the Verdane army.
194* BoringButPractical: He doesn't stand out much combat-wise: Lex has Paragon, Naoise has some offensive skills, Jamke is purely offensive thanks to his powerful offensive skills and even Tailtiu stands out more due to Wrath, while he has only one skill, Follow-Up. However, Follow-Up is essential to double enemies and Azelle has a good magic growth (the best of Sigurd's army, even overtaking Claud due to the higher magic bonus in his minor Fjalar blood compared to his Major Bragi blood), a high speed growth and his magic and speed at base are enough to one-round most enemies in the first two chapters in spite of the high weight of his Fire tome. Due to the lack of resistance for several enemies, he can easily defeat them or greatly weaken them, and he also promotes into a Mage Knight, which grants him a horse and much more movement as a result.
195* ChildByRape: [[spoiler:His father raped Cigyun's favorite maid, resulting in Azelle.]]
196* ChildhoodFriends: Azelle, Lex, and Tailtiu were very close before the events of the game, and it shows in their conversations with one another.
197* ChildhoodFriendRomance: If paired up with Tailtiu.
198* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Red hair and red eyes.
199* CuteBookworm: A cute, shy mage.
200* EveryoneHasStandards: As much of a shy guy as he is, Azelle is very much against killing one's parents if one has respect for the parents. In his last love-talk with Tailtiu, he forbid her from [[{{Patricide}} trying to kill Reptor]] because he'd have second thoughts on her if she wanted to kill her father that she at least still respects despite his bastardry.
201* GreenEyedMonster:
202** Edain and Midir suffer from this in the Nuts Fujimori manga: [[spoiler:he works up the nerve to propose to Edain and she accepts, but [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he immediately realizes that their relationship would fail in the end, and forces Edain and Midir to sort out their]] {{UST}} and hook up]].
203** Similarly, he does this in the Oosawa manga [[spoiler:but in regards to Edain and ''Jamke''. While Azelle still holds feelings for her, he comes to accept that his love is unrequited and doesn't reveal it, [[RelationshipUpgrade but when she and Jamke get hooked up]], [[TearJerker he breaks down crying]] in the tent/room he shares with Lex, who ends up comforting him.]]
204* FieryRedhead: Subverted; he's as timid as they come.
205* HeroicBastard: His dad was Lord Victor of Velthomer, his mom was the favorite maid of Arvis's mother Cigyun (who also had been little Arvis's nanny).
206* HeroicLineage: Of the Fjalar bloodline, though Arvis got the lion's share of it.
207* HeterosexualLifePartners: He has shades of this with Lex, particularly in the Oosawa manga.
208* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Bless his heart, he does this regarding Edain and her respective LoveInterest in both manga adaptations, despite obviously struggling with it in the Oosawa version.
209* LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: An odd example. Despite being one of the first units you get, he is not very useful early on, but becomes much better later on. He grows progressively as a unit, even if not extensively trained (which is difficult, because he dies early on [[SquishyWizard in only two hits]]), both because the later maps play better to his strengths than the early ones and because he gets progressively better tomes: For the first two maps he is restricted to a single weapon, the Fire tome he starts with, which is unfortunately the single worst tome in the game, as it completely kills his technically good speed. As the game goes on, he gets progressively better weapons and with his promotion he will also fix his bad movement and durability issues.
210* MagicKnight: Can promote to one.
211* MissingMom: [[spoiler:When young Arvis kicked Victor's mistresses out of the court, only Azelle's mom was allowed to stay. She became Arvis and Azelle's caretaker, but died some years before the story happened.]]
212* NiceGuy: This is presumably the reason why he has a lot of friends despite being so shy.
213* PlayingWithFire: As the descendant of Fjalar, he is specialized in wielding fire magic, although he can use all three magic types. ''Heroes'' gave him Sparking Tome, which is exclusive to him.
214* RebelPrince: Openly defies Arvis to help Lex and Sigurd. To put this in perspective: Velthomer is one of the most powerful territories in Jugdral, and its ruler, Arvis, is known as a stern and rather feared ruler, which Azelle knows better than anyone. ''He still defies his brother despite being scared of him.''
215* RecurringElement: The young, male, early-joining mage in the vein of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Merric]]. [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Boey's]] inconsistent hair color (prior to the remake) aside, many later Merrics would be redheads just like him.
216* RedHerring: While not as bad as the Tailtiu/Claud pair, pairing him with Edain, while considered quite cute for newbies, will result a rather suboptimal Lester, while Lana has to wait until promotion to reap the benefits of his Minor Fjalar.
217* ReluctantWarrior: He's noted to hate fighting, but joined Sigurd's army anyway to save Edain.
218* ShrinkingViolet: He's fairly shy around most, and outright terrified of his brother.
219* SparedByAdaptation: Originally, he's [[UncertainDoom (most likely)]] one of the tragic casualties of the Battle of Belhalla, or in case of Kaga's notes (see below), [[spoiler:TakenForGranite]]. In the Oosawa manga, [[spoiler:he survived Belhalla by the account that he wasn't present, attempting to protect Tailtiu from Belhalla troops and jumping off a cliff, and stumbled to Silesse, where he cared for the now-amnesiac Tailtiu and raised their children together. Azelle was also away from home, accompanying Arthur, during the fateful day of Tailtiu and Tine being captured, and despite much grief, Azelle was at least last seen sending Arthur to go find the two.]]
220* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WordOfGod Shouzou Kaga's notes]] for a scrapped third section of the game imply that [[spoiler:Azelle did not die in the Battle of Belhalla and continues to be a RebelPrince because he thinks whatever good intentions Arvis had, it'll be of no use if it's achieved with brutal methods. This is eventually deconstructed, as because Arvis was trying to make his Empire to be good, the population supports him and instead sees Azelle as the villain, and Arvis had to go along and brand his dear brother as a rebel. Azelle attempts to get answers from his brother, but was instead ambushed by Manfroy and petrified in the underground basement of the Royal Palace so Arvis won't have second thoughts. Thankfully, after Seliph's victory, Julia undid Azelle's petrification and allowed him to reunite with his wife (in this case Tailtiu) and children.]]
221* UncertainDoom: One of the few characters whose fate is left ambiguous after the Battle of Belhalla.

228
229The son of Duke Lombard of Dozel, the half-brother of Danann, and a childhood friend of Azelle. He accompanies Azelle to assist Sigurd in the fight with Verdane, fully aware that his father would not be happy about assisting the house of Chalphy.

233'''Holy blood:''' Nál [Minor]
234----
235* AloofAlly: He ''claims'' be this, since he says that he's only helping because he's Azelle's friend, but it's pretty clear that it isn't true.
236* ApologeticAttacker: If you're mean enough to have him attack his father.
237* CainAndAbel: With Danann. [[spoiler:In the Oosawa manga, it's Danann who kills him.]]
238* ChildhoodFriends: Lex, Azelle, and Tailtiu were all very close with one another prior to the events of the game, and it shows in their conversations.
239* ChildhoodFriendRomance: If he marries Tailtiu.
240* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair and blue eyes.
241* DesperationAttack: His second skill, Vantage, allows automatic first-strike if below 50% HP.
242* ExperienceBooster: He has the Paragon skill, a skill that doubles amount of experience earned. With this skill, he can reach Level 20 to class change to Great Knight much earlier than other units. As a father, he could pass this skill to his children and give them the same boon. This was later reference in ''Heroes'' with the Axe Experience skill, where he alongside other axe-wielding allies gain double experience gained if the user is still alive on the battlefield.
243* GuideDangIt: The Brave Axe is the only way he'll ever be able to hit something twice, but obtaining it happens through a secret event, not foreshadowed at all.
244* HeroicLineage: Of the Nál bloodline, though like Azelle, his older brother got the lion's share. However, [[WhiteSheep Lex got the share of heroism that the majority of his family lacked.]]
245* HeterosexualLifePartners: As noted in Azelle's section, he has shades of this with him.
246* HonestAxe: This nets him the powerful Brave Axe. ''Heroes'' later changes that to the Goddess Axe, since the Brave Axe already exists in the game as a common inheritable weapon.
247* HotBlooded: This quote sums it up.
248--> '''Lex:''' Hahahaa... Alright, let's do this. Finally, a chance to kick some ass.
249* LightningBruiser: While his speed isn't high, Lex can do high damage per round of combat with the Brave Axe in hand. Also a good candidate for the Pursuit Ring if you decide to bench Arden (who has the event needed to get it), especially if you choose to marry him to someone like Lachesis or Tailtiu.
250* MightyGlacier: Without the Brave Axe, he only gets one hard hitting attack per round of combat.
251* MistakenForGay: In the Oosawa manga, with Azelle... by Ayra, ''his own wife and the mother of his children''.
252* PapaWolf: If he's paired up with Tailtiu, with him making it clear that he does ''not'' want his kids ending up in his family's hands or those of Tailtiu's, given how awful both are.
253* {{Patricide}}: If you make him personally kill his father. Unlike Tailtiu's deal, Lex has no problem with doing this to Lombard, since he knows his dad is an evil person that had it coming.
254* RebelPrince: His family is an enemy to Sigurd's, and he expresses no interest in House Dozel's antagonism towards Chalphy. His father also expresses frustration with him as well.
255* TemptingFate: If he marries Tailtiu, he wishes for her to flee to Silesse so that she and the children do not get taken into custody of House Friege or Dozel. [[spoiler:Guess what happens during the timeskip when she does exactly that, regardless of who she's married to?]]
256* UncertainDoom: One of the few characters whose fate is left ambiguous after the Battle of Belhalla. [[spoiler:The Oosawa manga has him killed by his own brother, Danann.]]
257* WeakButSkilled: In a fairly literal sense, though he ironically doesn't have great Skill. Lex has the worst weapon type of the gang due to being an axe-user in a game where axes suffer from distressingly high weight and low hitrates, and his growths are pretty passable apart from high Defense, but he's also got the Paragon and Vantage personal skills, which means that he trains himself up very quickly to compensate for his initially mediocre combat skill.
258* WhiteSheep: Almost everyone else in the Nál bloodline is an enemy -- the house is traditionally an enemy of Chalphy, but Lex is still Sigurd's friend.

270'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenichiSuzumura (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/ChrisHackney (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
271----
272* AncestralWeapon: Gáe Bolg, which originally belonged to Njörun the Crusader.
273* AuthorityInNameOnly: [[spoiler:Posthumous example. He is given the honorary title of King Quan despite predeceasing his father and never actually taking the throne of Leonster.]]
274* BestFriendsInLaw: With Sigurd, as he married his sister Ethlyn. They've been best buddies since their academy days.
275* ChildhoodFriends: With Sigurd and Eldigan.
276* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:To Leif and Altena.]]
277* ExactWords: He believes that he cannot be defeated so long as he wields Gáe Bolg. [[spoiler:If Ethlyn falls before him, Quan is forced to drop the weapon to prevent Altena from being harmed.]]
278* FatalFlaw: Quan is a highly skilled warrior and he knows it, but his confidence in strength of arms to carry the day becomes outright hubris once he receives the Gáe Bolg from Ethlyn. More than once he states his belief that nothing can overcome him so long as he wields it. [[spoiler:Consequently, he doesn't realize that his enemy might strike at him with something more than brute force, and he realizes too late how mistaken he was.]]
279* ForGreatJustice: The specific reason why he helps Sigurd to begin with, not just because he is his brother-in-law. This apparently runs in the family, as his father is mentioned to be very similar, and both of his children are also wildly enthusiastic about this.
280* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: He, like Sigurd, is presumably one of Eldigan's best friends. Not that you'd know, if not for a single line in the prologue, because they never share a single conversation in-game despite having multiple opportunities to do so. Then again, Eldigan is noticeably unresponsive to anybody not named [[TragicBromance Sigurd]] or [[IncestSubtext Lachesis]].
281* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:He stays with Sigurd's army until the end of Chapter 3, where Quan, Ethlyn, and Finn leave to Leonster so that they can come back to help Sigurd with reinforcements against the increasingly aggressive Grannvale. [[BusCrash Unfortunately, Quan and Ethlyn are killed in an ambush by the Thracians before they can help Sigurd again.]]]]
282* HappilyMarried: He and Ethlyn love each other quite a lot. In ''Thracia'', there are two CG's featuring them, and in both they're happy as they come: [[https://fireemblem.fandom.com/wiki/File:Family.jpg one has them]] with [[spoiler:baby!Leif and toddler!Altena]], the other has Quan [[https://fireemblem.fandom.com/wiki/File:Lovers.jpg gently helping Ethlyn to get off her riding horse]]. [[spoiler:And one of the grown up Leif's love talks with either Nanna or Jeanne in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' mentions their mutual affection as well.]]
283* HeroicLineage: Of the Njörun bloodline and inheritor of its AncestralWeapon.
284* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:During an attempt to reinforce Sigurd in Belhalla, Quan falls into an ambush by Thracian Dracoknights in the Yied Desert, his daughter is taken hostage, and he is forced to forfeit the battle, losing his life.]]
285* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Gáe Bolg lance, which Ethlyn gives to him in Chapter 3, is the holy weapon of the Njörun bloodline.
286* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:One of the seven main characters of the first generation playable crew to unambiguously end up dead by the time Seliph's quest begins. He is ambushed and slaughtered by Travant in the Yied Massacre.]]
287* TheLancer: To Sigurd. He's more level-headed and less reckless. He also fits the weapon part, too.
288* LanternJawOfJustice: And how. Portrayals in later games sometimes soften this trait of his a bit though.
289* NiceJobBreakingItHero: According to the AlternateCharacterInterpretation from ''Fall of Leonster'' side story. For all of his genuine good intentions, Quan's assistance toward Sigurd might have indirectly influenced [[spoiler:Travant's deadly assault in the Yied Desert]] and putting Thracia into chaos. ''At least'' it gave [[spoiler:Travant]] an opening that let him strike where it would hurt the most...
290* PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''.
291-->"You face the Gáe Bolg!"\
292"I will not lose."\
293"You'll regret this."\
294"For my allies!"
295* PutOnABus: He leaves after Chapter 3 because he has to get back to his responsibilities at home. TheBusCameBack in Chapter 5, [[spoiler:but it only gets him [[BusCrash killed]]]].
296* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He's a powerful fighter, and his departure after Chapter 3 is out of a need to do stuff back home in Leonster.
297* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Him and Ethlyn kicking the bucket is when everything starts to truly go tits up for Sigurd.]]
298* ShipperOnDeck: In the Oosawa manga, for Finn and Lachesis. While Ethlyn is the most outspoken shipper, it ''is'' his idea that Finn becomes Lachesis's bodyguard, after all.
299* SorryThatImDying: If he falls in battle, he'll apologize to Ethlyn, though in a subversion he has PlotArmor to ensure that he doesn't actually die. [[spoiler:His actual death quote in Ch. 5, however, likewise has him apologize.]] Likewise, he apologizes to her when he's defeated in ''Heroes''.
300-->"Ethlyn... I'm sorry..."
301* SpellMyNameWithAnS: For a while, folks generally spelled it Cuan, before ''Awakening'' came down with Quan. A number of fans, though, argue that it should still be Cuan... or rather, Cúan, as it's now obvious that his name, and to some extent, his character and story, is based on the first half of the name/title of [[Myth/CelticMythology Cú Chulainn]].
302* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler:Being ambushed by Travant and his troops in the Yied Desert was the least expected crack in his plans. He had assumed Travant would attack Leonster and planned for that, not even thinking that Travant might go after him personally.]]
303* WarriorPrince: He's the prince of Leonster and a descendant of Njörun, and he is a strong warrior.

316
317----
318* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Going by the game's timeline, she was 18 when she gave birth to Altena and 20 when she had Leif due to Jugdral's medieval ethos on what age people were considered adults.
319* ActionMom: She'd recently had a daughter before joining Sigurd, although she leaves her in Leonster. [[spoiler:By the time that she was with Quan in the Yied Desert, she had given birth to Leif.]]
320* BattleCouple: She and Quan are HappilyMarried and join Sigurd's cause together.
321* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler:Or rather, Better To Die Than Be Used As A Hostage in the Oosawa manga. Travant captures her, and Ethlyn, realizing that he intends to use her against Quan, takes her own life instead.]]
322* BigBrotherInstinct: Despite being his younger sister, she sees it as her responsibility to try and keep Sigurd out of too much trouble.
323* BrotherSisterTeam: Ethlyn and Sigurd are the subtle introduction to this mechanic, and are one of the two sibling teams in Generation 1.
324* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:During an attempt to reinforce Sigurd in Belhalla, Ethlyn was ambushed at Yied Desert and killed, and since she was carrying her daughter Altenna, the latter was used as a hostage to Quan, who was then killed by Travant's Dracoknights.]]
325* CombatMedic: This is the ''Fire Emblem'' where Troubadours use swords. Her combat skill improves even further once she promotes to Paladin.
326* CoolSword: She can obtain a Light Brand in a conversation with Deirdre, which has a powerful distance attack and is ''very'' useful against archers who think a healer is an easy mark.
327* CriticalHitClass: She has Critical as a personal skill, allowing her to perform critical hits without needing a weapon with a 50-kill bonus, a combination bonus from a lover, or the Wrath skill. She will pass this skill down to Leif and Altena in the second generation.
328* FragileSpeedster: Ethlyn is fast and has high skill, similiarly to a Myrmidon, but her defenses against physical hits are poor.
329* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: {{Downplayed}} since Sigurd is just as responsible as she is, but she sees herself being the Responsible Sibling of the pair and describes Sigurd as being a bit reckless. She tries her best to seem mature in spite of it.
330* GenkiGirl: Especially in the Oosawa adaptation. She is optimistic and tries to be as upbeat as possible despite the tense situations around her.
331* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:She stays with Sigurd's army until the end of Chapter 3, where Quan, Ethlyn, and Finn leave to Leonster so that they can come back to help Sigurd with reinforcements against the increasingly aggressive Grannvale. [[BusCrash Unfortunately, Quan and Ethlyn are killed in an ambush by the Thracians before they can help Sigurd again.]]]]
332* HappilyMarried: With Quan. See his section for the details.
333* HeroicLineage: Of the Baldur bloodline, though not to the same degree as Sigurd.
334* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:One of the seven main characters of the first generation playable crew to unambiguously end up dead by the time Seliph's quest begins. She is ambushed and slaughtered by Travant in the Yied Massacre.]]
335* LadyOfWar: Although her swordfighting is secondary to her healing, she's insistent on doing her part in the fight. Going to help Sigurd in the first place was largely her idea.
336* MissingMom: [[spoiler:Killed before either of her children is old enough to remember her.]]
337* PregnantBadass: She's hinted to have been already pregnant with Leif when she and Quan joined Sigurd's troops. The Oosawa manga openly states it; when she's about to leave Silesse with Quan and Finn, the first makes a comment about how she should be more careful now that she's about to be a mom again.
338* PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''.
339-->"I'll protect you!"\
340"Forgive me!"\
341"Until the very end!"\
342"All will be well. You'll see!"
343* PromotionToParent: She stepped up to take care of Sigurd and to help manage the house with Lord Byron after their mother died. The kicker? She's the ''younger'' sibling.
344* PutOnABus: Leaves with her husband at the end of chapter 3.
345* RoseHairedSweetie: A GenkiGirl with pink hair.
346* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Like her husband, she readily gets into the action.
347* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Her and Quan biting the dust is when everything starts to truly go to hell in a handbasket for Sigurd.]]
348* ShipperOnDeck: For [[spoiler:Finn and Lachesis]] as well as [[spoiler:Edain and Jamke]], in the Oosawa manga.
349* SorryThatImDying: Mirroring Quan's non-fatal "death" quote, she'll apologize to him if she falls. [[spoiler:Her ''real'' death quote in Ch. 5, however, also has her apologize to Quan -- and to Altena.]] Likewise, she apologizes to him when she falls in ''Heroes''.
350-->"Quan, I'm so sorry..."

361----
362* ActionDad: Can become this if paired up with someone, [[spoiler:as he is the only Gen 1 dad who is playable in Gen 2]].
363* AscendedExtra: This guy is the only character who is playable in every single part of the Jugdral storyline, and even has a side story told from his perspective. The Fall of Leonster is not kidding when it said he is "too" important.
364* BadassNormal: Easily, since [[spoiler:being a Gen 1 character that survives is impressive in itself]] and he's rather solid as a character despite having no Holy Blood.
365* BagOfSpilling: A case where he'll ''lose'' his entire inventory but an Iron Lance if he is paired up with someone. Since none of his pairing bears a child that wield lances by default, he loses everything, including his powerful Brave Lance, unless he sells all of his weapons in advance.
366* BodyguardCrush: On [[spoiler:Lachesis]] in the Oosawa manga.
367* BrokenAce: After [[spoiler:Quan and Ethlyn's death, and Leonster's Fall]], he basically lost his emotion. He's barely recovering them by the time ''Thracia 776'' rolls in, according to Leif.
368* CrutchCharacter: In Generation 2, providing he was leveled up sufficiently before he left in the first half. Lacks [[HeroicLineage Holy Blood]] of any sort, which equates to a severe disadvantage as far as growth rates are concerned.
369* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair and blue eyes.
370* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:Hey, guess what all that talk Quan gave Finn about him being an important soldier and telling him not to die was for?]]
371* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In chapter 7, he will return at the exact same stats & XP he had when he left at the end of chapter 3 — sixteen years earlier.
372* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:He stays with Sigurd's army until the end of Chapter 3, where Quan, Ethlyn, and Finn leave to Leonster so that they can come back to help Sigurd with reinforcements against the increasingly aggressive Grannvale. He remains behind at Leonster to watch over Quan's son, Leif, where he becomes his retainer and a permanent unit in Generation 2.]]
373* ItsPersonal: To [[spoiler:Travant]] in Gen 2 for killing [[spoiler:Quan and Ethlyn]].
374%%* TheLancer: To Quan, [[{{Pun}} a literal one in fact]].
375* LastMinuteHookUp: Finn can still romance Tailtiu and Brigid, but you as the player have to be quick beforehand to do so.
376* LoveMartyr: A possible AlternateCharacterInterpretation for him as a borderline one to [[spoiler:Lachesis]], in the Oosawa manga. Even if not, the scene where [[spoiler:he brings Lachesis back from the DespairEventHorizon by ''stabbing himself with the Lands Sword'' and almost bleeding to death on her]] raises one or three eyebrows. Fortunately, they ''both'' get better.
377* LukeIAmYourFather:
378** Has this kind of conversation with his daughter if he was lovers with Lachesis, Edain, or Ayra in Gen 1. Interestingly enough, he never gets to talk to his son.
379** According to the ''Fire Emblem'' [[WordOfGod 20th Anniversary book]], Finn is essentially [[ParentalSubstitute Nanna's caretaker]], her true father being anyone the player has married Lachesis with — and technically speaking, such a roster of prospect lovers '''also''' includes Finn.
380* MagikarpPower: A rare example of being this ''and'' CrutchCharacter. In the first generation, he is a very unspectacular unit at first due to facing constant weapon triangle disadvantage and being stuck with a bad weapon type in lances. Once he's leveled up, trained with Quan, and been given his free Brave Lance, though, he becomes one of your better mounted characters, between the lance and his access to Pursuit and Miracle. What makes him special, though, is his ability to return in the second generation while keeping his old stats, meaning that investing heavily into Finn will make the EarlyGameHell of the second generation a whole lot easier on you.
381* ManlyTears: He cries when he meets [[spoiler:Altena]] for the first time in years, and then she thanks him for having taken care of Leif.
382* OlderThanTheyLook: In Gen 2, he's in his mid 30s and a year older then Oifey, but his portrait has barely changed.
383* ParentalSubstitute: To Leif. And Nanna, if he's not her father.
384* PutOnABus: Follows Quan back home at the end of chapter 3. However, he returns in chapter 7.
385* SecondLove: In the Oosawa manga, to [[spoiler:Lachesis after Eldigan kicks it]].
386* SexEqualsLove: In the manga. [[spoiler:They hook up and go through TheirFirstTime the night before he leaves Silesse alongside Quan and Ethlyn. And we all know what happens afterwards.]] Even more so, in that particular continuity... [[spoiler:it's also the time when they conceive their eldest son Diarmuid]]. May qualify in the game timeline, given the odd statements about the parentage of Lachesis' children. [[spoiler:There's indication in ''Thracia 776'' that Diarmuid is Beowulf's son, but Nanna is Finn's daughter, though in ''Genealogy'' it is impossible for them to have different fathers.]]
387* SoleSurvivor: He is actually not the only party member who survives the events of the first generation, but he is the only one who can (and will) rejoin the party as a playable unit.
388* SorryThatImDying: Unsurprising, given his UndyingLoyalty, but his death quote if he's killed in Gen 2 will be him apologizing to Quan and Ethlyn.
389* UndyingLoyalty: To the House of Leonster, and especially Quan.

393[[quoteright:143:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/midaylefe4.png]]
394
395A knight of Yngvi who attempted to protect Edain from the Verdane forces, but was defeated by Prince Munnir. Upon reclaiming Yngvi Castle, he is found by Sigurd and accompanies him into Verdane to rescue Edain.
396
397->'''Class:''' Arch Knight
398----
399* BodyguardCrush: On Edain.
400* BoringButPractical: His stats aren't great, and he lacks any kind of Holy Blood, but his mixture of range, a mount, and having both Follow-Up and Accost makes him very useful as a supportive attacker throughout the game. Compared to Jamke's raw offense, who has those two skills combined '''and''' Adept, Midir boasts the ability to actually put his offense to work a lot more often. Only he, Jamke and a promoted Arden can use and pass down bows, but Midir is the only one that can pass down Follow-Up to his children, since Jamke only has it as a class skill and not as a personal skill, and he has the most balanced growths among them, with Jamke being faster, Arden being more defensive and both of them having a really bad skill growth, which makes him the best option as a father for Lester.
401* ButtMonkey: In the Oosawa manga, subtly. First, his safer plans were often dashed with Jamke's more daring and dangerous plans, with Edain going along with it. Then, during the Andorey arc, it seemed like he got some ShipTease with Brigid... except Dew is extra clingy on her, much to his dismay. [[spoiler:In the end, he DidNotGetTheGirl, Brigid gets paired with Dew.]]
402* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green hair and green eyes.
403* DudeLooksLikeALady: A common reaction new players of the game get from him, to the point it gets milked for all it's worth in the Nuts Fujimori manga: ''both'' Munnir and Oifey mistake him as an attractive girl at first.
404* HorseArcher: Given his class.
405* HostageSituation: In both the Fujimori and the Oosawa mangas, the Verdane forces use the injured Midir as a DistressedDude when Sigurd and Co. come StormingTheCastle. In what could've been a DyingMomentOfAwesome, both media have Midir openly tell Sigurd to go on and save Edain no matter what happens to him. And in both, [[spoiler:Azelle]] steps in and saves him.
406* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: In the Nuts Fujimori manga, he believes he won't be good enough for Edain, partly because of his lower lineage, partly because he failed to protect her against Munnir, and asks Azelle to take her hand and make her happy. [[spoiler:Azelle ultimately responds with a IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy of his own, and forces Midir to go to Edain and become a couple with her.]]
407* LoveAtFirstSight: He's knocked flat when he meets Brigid for the first time, although his reaction boils down to "wow, there's a twin!"
408* MoodWhiplash: His confrontation with Munnir in the Nuts Fujimori manga reeks of this. First he appears all cool to defend poor Edain, then [[UnsettlingGenderReveal drops a bridget on Munnir]] who thinks he's a girl, and the action remains more or less comical [[GoryDiscretionShot until Munnir]] [[TheWorfEffect almost kills him]] [[KickTheDog and leaves him to bleed to death]] [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty while he takes a panicking Edain away.]]
409* SecondLove: If he's paired with Brigid[[note]]or anyone not Edain, really[[/note]]. It's entirely genuine, even though she wonders if he's LovingAShadow.
410* SorryThatImDying: His death quote is him apologizing to Sigurd.
411* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Like a number of his fellows, his name was rather heavily debated back in the day. Some thought, even early on, it was meant to be "Midir", but the problem was that the kana of his name (ミデェール) has an elongated vowel where the second "i" should be, so the pronunciation ends up closest to "Mideer"; combine this with R/L shenanigans, and you ended up with multiple interpretations before ''Heroes'' brought the hammer down.
412* UncertainDoom: One of the few characters whose fate is left ambiguous after the Battle of Belhalla.

417
418The daughter of Lord Ring of Yngvi, taken hostage by Prince Munnir; her kidnapping is what kicks off the whole plot, as Sigurd and his knights set off to rescue her and free Yngvi. She is soon freed by Prince Jamke, to find her way back to Sigurd's forces with the help of Dew.
419

421'''Holy blood:''' Ullr [Minor]
422----
423* AdrenalineMakeover: In the Fujimori manga, she dons more practical clothes and ties her hair down in a ponytail... coincidentally looking like a younger version of [[spoiler:her twin Brigid's "other self", Eyvel.]]
424* BadassPacifist: In the Oosawa manga, hot damn. See GoThroughMe below.
425* BigDamnHeroes: Pulls this in the Oosawa manga, healing a seriously injured [[spoiler:Azelle]] right after she and Dew escape.
426* BouquetToss: Gets it during Sigurd and Deirdre's wedding in the Nuts Fujimori manga. [[spoiler:And she then becomes the next girl to get paired in the story.]]
427* ChildhoodFriends: With Sigurd, hence why he goes off to save her.
428* CluelessDudeMagnet: Midir, Azelle, and Jamke (and [[VillainousCrush Munnir]]) are all crushing on her, though she seems unaware of at least the first two.
429* DamselInDistress: The plot is kicked off by her kidnapping.
430* GoThroughMe: In the Oosawa manga, [[spoiler:she tries to stop Jamke from fighting by ''directly stepping in between the armies'', hoping her Ullr blood will get her luck up. The Verdane archers shoot her, much to Jamke's horror, but their arrows barely graze her cheek. She doesn't even flinch, and manages to recruit Jamke for their cause.]]
431* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Blonde hair, going with her image of a gentle, pure-hearted nun.
432* HeroicLineage: Of the Ullr bloodline, but not enough to be able to wield Yewfelle like Brigid.
433* LikeAGodToMe: Azelle blurts this out in their lover conversation, much to his embarrassment. In the Oosawa manga, Azelle refers to her as being his eternal muse, with Lex pointing out that goddesses are unobtainable, hence Azelle's unrequited love. On the non-romantic end, Jamke's soldiers proclaimed her a goddess [[spoiler:after the aforementioned GoThroughMe moment]].
434* LoveAtFirstSight: Especially so in the Oosawa manga, falls for Jamke quickly when he rescues and frees her.
435* ParentalSubstitute: Edain is one of the few confirmed survivors of [[spoiler: the Battle of Belhalla]], and raises her many of her former comrades' children alongside her own.
436* PolarOppositeTwins: With Brigid.
437* PutOnABus: Though she survives the first half and helps to raise the children who were sent to Isaach, she doesn't make any appearance in the second half.
438* RecurringElement: Although she's not the first healer, she hews closest to the early-game healer archetype founded by [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Lena]]. Her escaping from ruffians alongside Dew plays out much like Lena and Julian's introduction in Chapter 3 of ''Shadow Dragon''.
439* RescueRomance: If paired up with Jamke, who bats the aforementioned DistressBall away from her.
440* RetiredBadass: As shown in the Mitsuki Oosawa manga, even if Edain retired the from active frontlines, it doesn't mean that she no longer has enough cunning to defend her home no matter what. Fortunately, the children she raised managed to save the day, but if push comes to shove, Edain shouldn't be counted out just yet.
441* SilkHidingSteel: Does not rely on fighting skills and does not need to. And apparently she used to be training as a knight before donning a cleric's robes.
442* SmallRoleBigImpact: While her importance is minimal in the grand scheme of things, it's her capture that sets in motion the events of the entire game.
443* SorryThatImDying: If she's married and dies in battle, her death quote will involve her apologizing to her husband.
444* SpellMyNameWithAnS: ''Good god!'' Seriously has to be noted here, as this character has more spellings for her name than any other character in the entire ''franchise'' (not even Seliph gets this crazy!) Made even worse by the fact that ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' '''''doesn't''''' feature her in a cameo, so not even that helps! ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', though, sticks with Edain.
445** For the curious, in katakana her name is エーディン; phonetically, the pronunciation runs something like "Eh-diin".
446* TeamMom: Gen 2, although she doesn't actually appear.
447* TheThreeFacesOfEve: With Ethlyn and Deirdre.
448* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Brigid's Tomboy.

454
455A thief caught and imprisoned by Jamke in an attempt to steal from Verdane's Castle Marpha, he was released by Jamke along with Edain and protected her on the way back to Sigurd, staying with the crew from then on.
456
457->'''Class:''' Thief
458----
459* BoringButPractical: While he is a poor fighter, being the only unit that can steal all the gold from an enemy unit and can share it for everyone as opposed to only betwen lovers makes him useful for other units that aren't able to earn enough to buy expensive weapons and items.
460* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the original, [[spoiler:he's (likely) amongst the causalties of the Battle of Belhalla]]. In the Oosawa manga, [[spoiler:he doesn't die in the disastrous battle, [[ShesAllGrownUp grows up to be a rather pretty man]] and goes on to raise his and Briggid's daughter Patty. But when he planned to reunite with Shannan after the latter retrieved Balmung, Dew covered Patty from a fatal strike and succumbed to his wounds.]]
461* DistressedDude: In-story, not in gameplay. He was a mere thief who was caught stealing treasures by Jamke, who then pardoned him, but only if he became Edain's escort in exchange.
462* {{Ephebophile}}: He's quite a bit younger than several of his love interests... though not a pre-pubescent boy either. The Oosawa manga makes him around 13-14.
463* FragileSpeedster: He's very good at dodging, but if he ''does'' get hit, you should be careful.
464* {{Keet}}: He's rather cheerful.
465* LifeDrain: He has access to the Sol skill, in which he recovers HP based on the damage inflicted. He could pass it down to Larcei, Scáthach, Patty, and Lene (Sol isn't inherited by children that aren't unmounted sword users, for some reason).
466* MagikarpPower: He's a poor fighter because of his low bases in both strength and defense, meaning he can't deal damage well and takes hits hard. However, if you managed to level him, his decent growth rates (40 all around except magic and resistance) combined with his promotion bonuses (+3 or more in every stat, instant A-rank in Swords, AND Pursuit) somewhat remedy this.
467* NiceGuy: Despite being a thief, he's rather friendly, even cheering Edain up in the Fujimori manga.
468* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: in Chapter 5, he and Jamke can have a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdUi4lzNacw conversation]]. In it, Dew tells Jamke that he likes him and that he's sorry for being a pain in the neck to him. Jamke points out how being sappy like this isn't like him, and after Dew leaves, he notes that even a kid like Dew can tell that something's not right.]]
469* RecurringElement: The early-joining Thief of the [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Julian]] archetype. Him escaping from ruffians alongside Edain plays out much like Julian and Lena's introduction in Chapter 3 of ''Shadow Dragon''.
470* SecretArt: He is the only character that has Sol, thus he has to pass it down to his children or else it'll be [[PermanentlyMissableContent lost forever]].
471* ShipperOnDeck: Diehard Edain/Midir shipper in the Fujimori manga.
472* TheTrickster: Come on, he's a thief.
473* UncertainDoom: One of the few characters whose fate is left ambiguous after the Battle of Belhalla. However, the Oosawa manga has him SparedByTheAdaptation [[spoiler:until Chapter 64]].

484'''Holy blood:''' Od [Minor]\
485'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiOrikasa (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/BrinaPalencia (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
486----
487* ActionGirl: One of the most notable swordfighters in the ''franchise'' and ''the'' prototype for the "fast female myrmidon" archetype; she is a powerful unit with a unique skill that often makes her one of the best physical units in the first generation. Lyn, Eirika, Mia, Severa, they all owe a lot to Ayra.
488* AdaptationDyeJob: While her original artwork has her with dark brown eyes, ''Cipher'' switches between giving her blue or purple eyes.
489* AllAmazonsWantHercules: Her predestined lovers are rugged tough men like Chulainn, Lex, and Arden. On the other hand, Dew is also considered one of her best matches, so this can ultimately be subverted.
490* AloofDarkHairedGirl: On the HotBlooded side, but she's got the appearance and tends to come off as reserved.
491* AntiVillain: Initially an enemy due to Cimbaeth holding Shannan hostage. If you kill her before rescuing Shannan, then prepare to feel bad.
492* AtopAMountainOfCorpses: Variation in the Nuts Fujimori manga. She beats up Cimbaeth's whole squad to prove her strength to him, and creates a mountain of it, but doesn't stand on top of it in the end.
493* AmbiguousSituation: She is the only mother whose fate remains unknown in Generation 2. Larcei believes that she is still out there with Scáthach doubting her survival, which earns a rebuttal by the former. ''Heroes'' implies that she may have perished fighting in the Battle of Belhalla, as she mentions fighting until the very end alongside Sigurd.
494* BladeSpam: Her Astra sword technique, which is passed down the royal family line of Isaach.
495* BreakoutCharacter: Has always been fairly popular, both in Japan and among fans in the know in America; her badassery (including in the game itself), her cool-headedness, and ultimately her loyalty to Sigurd's cause all made her very popular. ''Heroes'' has helped her gain further traction outside of Japan, although the shenanigans surrounding her debut in that game hampered things a bit. The fact that she basically inspired the creation of [[Characters/FireEmblemTheBlazingBladeTheLords Lyn]], herself one of the biggest {{Breakout Character}}s in the ''franchise'' outside of Japan, and also finalized the Myrmidon class as we know today due to her promotion to Swordmaster, one of the most iconic promoted classes in the series, and paved the way for new popular myrmidons also helps her cred significantly.
496* BrutalHonesty: Never minces her opinions about anything. For some reason, most adaptations and fan content elect to portray her as a {{Tsundere}}, though.
497* ChainmailBikini: A downplayed example, her ''Heroes'' artwork gives her breastplate two rounded cups but her outfit as a whole is relatively conservative otherwise.
498* ContraltoOfStrength: In ''Heroes'' both her Japanese and English voice actresses give her a deep voice and she's a tomboy and master swordswoman.
499* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: In the Nuts Fujimori manga, she has a few in reserve for Cimbaeth...
500* DitzyGenius: The Oosawa manga portrays her as one to an extent, as she can come across as a tad clueless outside of combat.
501* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Pretty much her threat to Cimbaeth establishes that she's one of the biggest badasses in Jugdral.
502-->''You better not double-cross me, Cimbaeth. Because I'll hunt you down... and put your head on a stick! Even if it takes me to the ends of hell! '''GOT IT!?'''''
503* GlassCannon: Hits very hard, but has poor defenses.
504* HeelFaceTurn: Not that she's evil, to start, but she's a recruitable enemy in the old Myrmidon tradition.
505* HeroicLineage: Of the Od bloodline, to a minor degree.
506* HiddenBuxom: Some of her ''Fire Emblem Cipher'' artwork reveals that beneath her breastplate, she is fantastically well-endowed. Given her unwillingness to believe she is attractive, her breastplate may actually deliberately obscure how large her chest is.
507* IAmNotPretty: It's not a cause of angst for her, but in her love talk with Arden, she finds it "almost funny" when she calls her womanly and asks if he's sick when he claims that she's the prettiest girl he knows. She similarly seems baffled by assertions that she's pretty in ''Heroes''. (Fans, of course, tend to find this rather silly, as every artist she's ever had renders Ayra as one of the most stunning ladies in the entire ''franchise'' - though she does clearly forego cosmetics and the like.)
508* IOweYouMyLife: Or rather, Shannan's life, towards Sigurd. It's why she sticks around in Ch. 5 even after Shannan has been sent off, with repaying debts in full apparently being an Isaachian thing.
509* LoveAtFirstPunch: With Lex, if they hook up. The Oosawa manga adaptation introduces them locked in combat with one another, [[FoeRomanceSubtext Lex even getting on top of her and leaving them both in a compromising position at one point]], and afterwards they're shown awkwardly sitting side by side while blushing.
510* MamaBear: An aunt variety to little Shannan, his protection being her top priority.
511* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: She appears in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' as a Spotpass character. She somewhat more substantially appears in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', which is the first major exposure many English-speaking fans had to the character directly.
512* ParentalSubstitute: To Shannan, upon orders of his father/her brother Prince Mariccle. She becomes his devoted protector and [[MamaBear Auntie Bear]].
513* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: She's 12 years younger than her half-brother Prince Mariccle.
514* PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''.
515-->"Pitiful."\
516"I won't let you live."\
517"Your life is mine."\
518"Let's see you handle this."
519* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: She has shades of this. While not a BloodKnight, the Isaachians do seem to be proud sword users, and she very much values her country's traditions.
520* PurpleIsPowerful: Wears mostly purple and happens to be a skilled warrior.
521* RecurringElement: The recruitable enemy Myrmidon just like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Navarre]]. Due to how different criticals work in this game, Ayra still presents the high threat like the rest of this archetype by possessing the Astra skill, which allows her to strike many times at once, mostly killing her target in one turn. And unlike later games, each Astra hit ''can crit'' (or rather, she was so bonkers she single-handedly got the skill nerfed in later games).
522* SecretArt: She is a master of the skill Astra, much like her nephew Shannan would eventually become; because she's the first unit with it, though, Astra is most heavily associated with her. It even gets an upgrade in ''Heroes'' to Regnal Astra, making it unique to other versions of Astra - specifically, it has an ''absurdly'' short action time, meaning she'll use it nearly every combat if she's doubling (read: almost always), much like how she'd use Astra often in ''Geneaology''.
523* ShipperOnDeck: Yet another Finn and Lachesis shipper in the Oosawa manga.
524* SorryThatImDying: If you kill her while she's an enemy unit, her last words are an apology to Shannan.
525* {{Tomboy}}: Seems to see herself as one (or at least not "womanly"), if her love talk with Arden is any indication. ''Heroes'' confirms this, as she's not a fan of pretty dresses or flowers and prefers spending her time training with swords.
526* {{Tsundere}}:
527** Of the "outwardly harsh but inwardly sweet" type towards Lex, both in-game in their conversations and in the Oosawa manga.
528** With the Summoner in ''Heroes'' Ayra can be harsh but in some of her quotes expresses gratefulness towards them. Her Level 40 conversation has her admit that she finds the time they spend together precious and is overall satisfied being with them, but implies that her experiences formed from the Battle of Belhalla have taught her that their time together may one day be fleeting.
529* UncertainDoom: One of the few characters (and the only mother) whose fate is left ambiguous after the Battle of Belhalla. The issue even gets discussed InUniverse! ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' also pours some oil on the fire, in its way (since she discusses Belhalla in the past tense, as if she somehow survived - but then so does ''Sigurd'', somehow).
530* UndyingLoyalty: Despite her initial claim that she's only traveling with Sigurd because she owes him for saving Shannan and finds him honorable, she sticks around for Chapter 5 even after Shannan is taken to safety out of the belief that she hasn't fully repaid her debt to him yet.
531* WorthIt: In ''Heroes'' she makes it clear that despite ultimately losing the Battle of Belhalla, and potentially her life in the process, she has no regrets about her choices and fighting alongside Sigurd to the end, and would do it all again if she went back in time.

542'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobuyukiHiyama (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/JoeZieja (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
543----
544* AntiVillain: Before you recruit him, he fights against Sigurd due to Sandima forcing him to under threat of being accused a traitor.
545* AscendedExtra: Plays a much larger role throughout the Oosawa manga than he does in the game, where he stops being important after Chapter 1.
546* AwesomeButImpractical: He stands out among archers in the series for his mix of a Killer Bow, high stats, and the combination of Pursuit, Adept, and Charge allowing him to fire off a ton of attacks and ruin a single target's day. However, his poor movement and lack of an enemy phase tends to lead to most of his kills being in the arena. He also can't pass down Pursuit (it's a class skill, not a personal skill), which gives him issues as a father.
547* BadassBoast: Before being forced to set out to battle, he gives one to Sandima, whom he promises to kill. Special mention goes to the version in the Oosawa manga:
548-->"However, when I return, it will be the end for you, Sandima... You'd best pray for my death in battle."
549* BadassNormal: A solid unit who comes in with one of the best bows in the game, and the only royalty character without any holy blood.
550* BeautyEqualsGoodness: While this trope runs rampant in the series as it is, it's painfully obvious in Jamke's case: he's introduced in the same breath as his brothers, but any player can immediately guess that he's the sole good guy among the princes of Verdane before he even debuts.
551* TheBigDamnKiss: With Edain, shortly after they reunite in the Oosawa manga.
552* CainAndAbel: His brothers Cimbaeth and Munnir (who were already pretty bad) fell under Sandima's control. Strangely, one of the later guides calls them his uncles despite Jamke and Munnir calling each other brother.
553* FacialMarkings. A beauty mark of sorts on his forehead. In the Nuts Fujimori manga, he inherited it from his mother.
554* HeelFaceTurn: He's an enemy who has to be recruited. To a slight extent, he goes through a HeelFaceRevolvingDoor, since he was Edain's ally to start with before Sandima kicked him out onto the battlefield.
555* HonorBeforeReason: At first. Sandima gets him out of his hair by threatening to accuse him of treason. However, once he meets Edain again, Jamke decides that he'd rather do what he knows is right than keep his "honor" by fighting an unjust and self-destructive war.
556* ManlyTears: In the Oosawa manga, he stoically has tears running down his face after he [[spoiler:kills Sandima in revenge for his father]].
557* NiceGuy: While on the blunt side and a bit rude if he has some kind of beef with you (e.g. Dew, for being a thief), both Dew and Edain comment on him being this.
558* OnlySaneMan: For being the only one willing to see that Sandima is just using Verdane.
559* OutOfFocus: He's a key character in Chapter 1, but after that doesn't play any role outside romance conversations. It's never discussed whether or not he intends to persuade his countrymen that his treason was justified, or what he thinks about Grannvale occupying the throne he could theoretically claim.
560* PowerfulButInaccurate: His strength growth is at 50% tied with several other characters in the first generation for the highest in the party, but he has a terrible 10% skill growth. His high bases and Killer Bow remedy this somewhat, though.
561* PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''.
562-->"Get out of here!"\
563"You villain!"\
564"I'll kill you if I have to."\
565"You were warned."
566* RebelPrince: Subverted, he only rebels when [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight Sandima takes control of the Verdane royal family]], but he still loves his old man no matter what and isn't happy to go against him.
567* RecurringDreams: In the Oosawa manga, he keeps having a nightmare in which Edain is shot to death by his arrows. [[spoiler:He has an HeroicBSOD when it seems to come true, but Edain is unharmed except for a cut in her cheek, and he defects.]]
568* RecurringElement: A bit of an oddball. In pretty much every regard, he's a textbook example of the Navarre: he joins early but not quite in the first chapter, he has a focus on Speed and multiple attacks, he uses a Killer weapon (in fact, the only one in the game), and he's an early recruitable enemy who needs to be recruited by speaking to him with a WhiteMage unit. However, unlike pretty much every other instance of the archetype, he's an archer rather than a mercenary or a myrmidon. Ayra, by contrast, ''is'' a recruitable enemy myrmidon, but she lacks the Killer weapon or any connection to a WhiteMage, so it looks a bit like they split the archetype between them.
569* ReluctantWarrior: He's against the war, and if you fight him while he's an enemy unit, his dialogue makes it clear that he really doesn't want to be there, due to having been forced into it.
570* RescueRomance: If paired up with Edain, whom he saves in his introduction.
571* SecondLove: Like with Midir, if he's paired with Brigid.
572* SoleSurvivor: He is the last of the Verdanite Royal Family after Chapter 1, [[spoiler:and if he is not paired, Verdane is left in ruins and chaos until Seliph intervenes and annexes the country. If he is paired, he leaves behind a son and daughter, with the former taking over the country.]]
573* SpamAttack: With the combination of Pursuit, Adept, and Charge, he is able to attack multiple times consecutively even without a Brave weapon.
574* TookALevelInBadass: A meta version. According to WordOfGod in an interview, he was originally a worse unit before Kaga took a liking to his character and improved him.
575* WarriorPrince: As prince of Verdane and a competent archer.
576* WhyCantIHateYou: Inverted with Edain in the Oosawa manga, where his reaction upon their ill-fated reunion — in which he's attacking Sigurd's troops in spite of having told Edain that he'd try and argue for peace with his father — is essentially, "Why can't ''you'' hate ''me''?"
577* TheWisePrince: As the sole good prince of Verdane, the people like him, and he's similarly painfully aware that Sandima and his asshole brothers are screwing the country over.
578* UncertainDoom: One of the few characters whose fate is left ambiguous after the Battle of Belhalla. He also the only character in the Oosawa manga whose fate is unknown.
579* YouKilledMyFather: He's righteously pissed at Sandima for corrupting and then murdering his father.
580* YoungestChildWins: The youngest of Verdane's princes and the only heroic one.

592'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KikukoInoue (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/EricaMendez (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
593----
594* AdaptationalBadass:
595** Deirdre's a lot more proactive in Mitsuki Oosawa's manga adaptation, on top of adding some [[PluckyGirl humor]] and a bit of [[SilkHidingSteel iron]] on top of her character. It shows the most when [[spoiler:Manfroy goes off to erase her memories and kidnap her; she went down putting up quite a fight in the manga ''and'' managed to protect the castle itself and its inhabitants, whereas she couldn't put up a lot of resistance in the game.]]
596** While in the original game she is hampered with bad movement, bad availability and mediocre stat spread, she appears much more powerful in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' with a lot better stat spread and having the Divine Naga tome. In the canon game, she didn't touch the Naga tome at all.
597* AscendedExtra: The Oosawa manga gives her a deeper characterization, gives quite the insight in her trains of thoughts, and makes her a GuileHero who comes up with a clever gambit to disable an enemy lord in his own halls. [[spoiler:Plus she realizes the truth behind her and Arvis before he does, keeps the secret to herself, and only reveals it when she's about to die.]]
598* BrotherSisterIncest: [[spoiler:When brainwashed into marrying her half-brother Arvis, the twins Julius and Julia being the result.]]
599* BarrierMaiden: Unfortunately, most of the poor woman's adult life is like this in the game [[spoiler:due to her heritage]]. The Oosawa manga cuts her a break [[spoiler:but since StatusQuoIsGod…]].
600* CantHaveSexEver: She's forbidden to be with a man. Obviously, though, she breaks this rule with Sigurd. [[spoiler:And with Arvis, whose existence is precisely why said rule was in place.]]
601* ChekhovsSkill: In gameplay. The only skill she possess is the fairly underwhelming Nihil, which prevents critical hits and negates some enemy skills. Considering that she is pretty much a OneHitPointWonder on any physical attacks and more effective as a healer than as a fighter, she will likely never use it. [[spoiler:She passes the skill to her children Seliph and Julia, and it is the reason they are about the only characters able to reliably take on [[FinalBoss Julius]] who possess the [[TurnsRed Wrath]] skill, as it will allow him to inflict [[OneHitKill critical hits]] on every attack when under half his health.]]
602* {{Deuteragonist}}: As Sigurd's love interest. [[spoiler:She's also extremely important for the villain's plan.]]
603* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Deirdre uses her last moments to save Julia from the crazed Julius, teleporting the girl away with her Warp staff before dying. In the Oosawa manga, it's switched to her sending Julia away ''before'' being attacked, then protecting Arvis and facing Julius despite knowing that she has no chance against the Loptous tome.]]
604-->'''Deirdre''': "[[spoiler:Julia]]... you must survive..."
605* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: In the Oosawa manga, her younger self had BoyishShortHair. As a teenager and young adult, [[LongHairIsFeminine it's far longer.]]
606* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Julius's comment about how she "just sort of accepted the idea of being killed by [him]" suggests this.]] In the Oosawa manga, [[spoiler:as she faces [[EnfanteTerrible Julius]], she calmly tells Arvis that she's recovered her memories, that she has known the truth behind their relationship for a while, and that she accepts her upcoming death, managing to protect Arvis from Julius in her LastStand.]]
607* FacialMarkings: [[spoiler:Had one on her forehead, which she hid with her circlet. It came from her major Naga/Heim blood.]]
608* GirlInTheTower: Or better said, [[TitleDrop Girl In The Forest]].
609* HappilyMarried: To Sigurd. [[spoiler:And then, after being brainwashed, to Arvis.]]
610* HeroicBastard: [[spoiler:Deirdre was the illegitimate daughter of Lady Cigyun of Velthomer and Prince Kurth. Cigyun fell to DeathByChildbirth, Kurth never knew about her and died several years later. (Or, in the Oosawa manga, died right after learning of her existence.) As such, she possesses both the blood of the Divine Dragon God Naga and of the Dark God Loptous.]]
611* HeroicLineage: Of the Naga bloodline [[spoiler:and unfortunately for her, the Loptous bloodline as well]].
612* HouseWife: She cannot be deployed into the battlefield in Chapter 3, having recently given birth to Seliph. At least she can still support with long-range staves without leaving the castle. Lampshaded when, in the Oosawa manga, [[spoiler:she's kidnapped while defending one of the conquered castles, which she ''does'' manage to pull despite said kidnapping]].
613* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:One of the seven main characters of the first generation playable crew to unambiguously end up dead by the time Seliph's quest begins. During the interim between Sigurd's tale and Seliph's tale, she is murdered by Julius when he is corrupted by the Loptous tome.]]
614* LightDarknessJuxtaposition: Carries both [[spoiler:the holiest and the unholiest HeroicLineage]] in her veins.
615* LoveAtFirstSight: With Sigurd.
616* MacGuffinSuperPerson: Why [[spoiler:[[StalkerWithATestTube Manfroy]]]] seeks her.
617* MysticalWhiteHair: She has silvery hair from her mother Cigyun, [[spoiler:indicting her descent from Maera and thus, her being a carrier of Loptous' blood]].
618* NiceGirl: She's very kind and sweet. Some of her lines in ''Awakening'' even make her sound like a ReluctantWarrior.
619* NonLethalKO: Every time she "dies", she'll come back at the end of the chapter, unscathed, because the enemy merely captured her. JustifiedTrope, though: [[spoiler:the Loptr Church needs her alive and well in order to marry to her half-brother and create a vessel for their evil god]].
620* NoSell: She is immune to critical hits because of her Nihil skill.
621* TheOphelia: In the Oosawa manga, [[spoiler:as Arvis kills Sigurd in front of her]], poor Deirdre's mind pretty much ''shatters''.
622* PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''.
623-->"I won't be left behind."\
624"I'm sorry."\
625"Something is awakening…"\
626"The darkness…"
627* RagsToRiches: From a young girl who lived in the forest, to the loving wife of the future Lord of Chalphy, [[spoiler:and then to the mindwiped Crown Princess/Empress of Grannvale]].
628* RaisedByGrandparents: In the Oosawa manga, she was raised by her grandmother.
629* RescueRomance: With Sigurd.
630* SoProudOfYou: [[spoiler:Essentially tells Seliph this from the dead in a hidden event.]]
631* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Manfroy uses her as intended in his plan by forcing her to mother a vessel of Loptous. But her first child having Baldr's holy blood, and having a daughter with Naga blood, scuttled Loptous' return.]]
632* SquishyWizard: If she's trained in offensive magic, she can be quite powerful. Unfortunately, the massive weight of the only light tome she can use (Aura) ''and'' her speed being insufficient to compensate makes her kind of a extra-slow GlassCannon. She does fare better with staff use, however.
633* TheIngenue: In the beginning, due to spending most of her life isolated in the forest.
634* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:When her and Sigurd's souls meet with Seliph.]]
635* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: PlayedForLaughs in the Oosawa manga. Upon meeting her and realizing that she and Sigurd are an item, Ethlyn's immediate reaction is to incredulously proclaim that she's way too good for Sigurd.
636* WhiteMagicianGirl: Pretty decent staff user.

641
642A gladiator found as the strongest opponent in Castle Evans' pit, and joins the group once he's defeated. He is a distant relative of the House of Isaach.
643
644->'''Class:''' Swordfighter\
645'''Holy blood:''' Od [Minor]
646----
647* AdaptedOut: In the Oosawa manga, probably because he would cause problems with Ayra being paired with Lex.
648* ArmorPiercingAttack: He has access to the Luna skill, which ignores defense and guarantees a hit when it activates. He could pass it down to Larcei, Scáthach, Patty, and Lene (like Sol, Luna isn't inherited by any children that aren't unmounted sword users, for some reason).
649* BornUnlucky: Starts with an abysmal 1 Luck at level 12, and his growth is also pretty bad. You never find out the exact reasons for this, though...
650* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Of the VictoriousChildhoodFriend variety to Ayra, if you hook them up.
651* DefeatMeansFriendship: He's the last fighter in the Evans castle's arena, and once he's defeated, he joins the group. Note that this only happens when you clear it out for the first time, and he doesn't appear later.
652* DesperatelySeekingAPurposeInLife: He is very excited to join Sigurd's crew after being bested in the arena, saying that he would like to fight with a purpose for a change.
653-->“You've got some serious spirit in your attack. Obviously you're not here for the money. Cash has been my motivator all these years... But after seeing you it kinda loses its meaning. You mind if I tag along? It'd be nice to fight for something real for a change.”
654* FallenPrincess: Implied. His father is the lord of Sophara, but we see him as a fighter in an arena and in Gen 2 Sophara is under Iucharba's command, and nobody knows what happened to Chulainn's family...
655* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Suggested to be the case in his and Ayra's love talk in Chapter 5, as she apparently didn't realize that ''he'' was the son of the lord of Sophara that she knew when they were kids.
656* HeroesPreferSwords: Of the Swordfighter class, this is his only weapon proficiency.
657* HeroicLineage: Of the Od bloodline, to a degree.
658* KissingCousins: With Ayra if you hook them up, due to the two possessing Minor Od blood.
659* RecurringElement: The early/mid-game Mercenary in the line of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Ogma]], with the only deviation being the Swordfighter's replacement of said class.
660* SecretArt: He is the only character that has Luna, thus he has to pass it down to his children or else it'll be [[PermanentlyMissableContent lost forever]].
661* SecretCharacter: He can be easily missed if the player doesn't clear out the arena in Chapter 2, as there's no indication that there's a recruitable character there.
662* SpellMyNameWithAnS: For ages, folks thought his name was a variant of "Holyn", because of how his name is spelled in katakana (ホリン). It was only when the [=NoA=] localizers, when working on ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', apparently laid hands on Kaga's notes that they, and everyone, realized that he actually has the other half of the name of [[Myth/CelticMythology Cú Chulainn]][[note]]And Irish-wise, 'Chulainn' was spelled 'Huulin', almost just one vowel away from his old fan translation name 'Holyn'[[/note]].
663* UncertainDoom: One of the few characters whose fate is left ambiguous after the Battle of Belhalla.

670The willful and hotblooded princess of Nordion, who holds her brother Eldigan in the utmost regard. She joins after Sigurd helps her fend off an attempt by Elliot to conquer Nordion (with the additional goal of forcing her to marry him) while Eldigan is in Chagall's dungeon.

674'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SaoriOnishi (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/CristinaValenzuela (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
675----
676* AwesomeButImpractical: By the time you have her promoted, chances are you won't need as powerful a fighting unit as her anymore, and you'll just use her for her ability to use staves on a horse - the one thing she could already do well before promotion.
677* AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: [[spoiler:Gets one in the Oosawa manga, after Eldigan dies and both Ares and his mom go to Leonster for safety. Doubles as her promotion into Master Knight.]]
678* BigBrotherWorship: She basically thinks that Eldigan is the coolest ever. It doesn't help that she's also [[BrotherSisterIncest in love with him]].
679* BrotherSisterIncest: With Eldigan in the Oosawa manga, where they admit having mutual feelings and hope they'll be able to be lovers [[ReincarnationRomance in their next lives.]] Nanna and Ares's lovers' conversation in the game also confirms that Lachesis was in love with him, though Eldigan's own feelings are never made clear.
680* {{Chickification}}: In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', she becomes a staff-user instead of being able to wield swords and eventually becoming the powerful Master Knight. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools It isn't so bad]], as her healing will still be vital for team success and she can also attack with the staff.
681* CoolSword: The Lands Sword that she can get if she talks to Eldigan.
682* DependingOnTheArtist: She is drawn with brown eyes (sprites, ''Cipher'', ''Heroes'') and blue eyes (TCG).
683* DespairEventHorizon: She almost reaches it in the Oosawa manga, after [[spoiler:she and others find Eldigan's lifeless body]]. She ''barely'' manages to get better thanks to Finn, who at some point has to stop her from [[spoiler:cutting herself with the Lands Sword that Eldigan gave her, since it heals her injuries and thus she can self-harm all that she wants]].
684* DudeMagnet: In the Fujimori manga, she gathers a notable amount of attention from both the men of Sigurd's army (notably Lex) and her guards Eve, Eva, and Alva (especially Eve).
685* GoThroughMe: To stop [[spoiler:Eldigan's fight with Sigurd]]. Made even more dramatic in the Oosawa manga, where she does it for Quan (who does it for Sigurd).
686* HeartbrokenBadass: [[spoiler:After Eldigan's death, in the Oosawa manga.]]
687* HeroicBastard: In the Oosawa manga. According to it, Lachesis' mother was a former retainer of the Nordion court, and Lachesis herself was raised as a commoner until the king of Nordion found her and her mother, at which point she was taken in by the Nordions.
688* HeroicLineage: Of the Hoðr bloodline, though her brother holds the major blood.
689* InconsistentDub: In ''Awakening'', her name was Raquesis. However, in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', she is renamed Lachesis (which was the original translation of her name).
690* ItsPersonal: To Chagall, for [[spoiler: killing Eldigan via decapitation]].
691* MagikarpPower: It's not easy to get her to level 20 in a reasonable timeframe unless the player leans on her as a healer, abuses the Return staff, or kills Voltz and claims his Paragon Ring (which is quite difficult and usually requires heavy RNG manipulation), but once she promotes to Master Knight, she can use any obtainable weapon/tome that isn't locked by Holy Blood, Aura, or Nosferatu, gets a horse (and therefore 3 extra movement), and her stats jump up like crazy (+7 str/skl/def and +4 spd, to be exact).
692* MagneticHero: Has the Charm skill to boost the battle performance of nearby allies. She will also pass it onto both her children.
693* MissingMom: [[spoiler:After the Battle of Belhalla, Lachesis took refugee in Leonster with Finn and raised her daughter Nanna (while sending Diarmuid to Isaach beforehand). She later attempted to cross the Yied Desert to find Diarmuid, but vanished en route.]]
694* OfficialCouple: ''Thracia 776'' heavily implies that she married Beowolf, as her son Diarmuid had a personal weapon, the Beo Sword, which takes its name from Beowolf and implies that he was his dad. Her daughter Nanna calls Finn her father, but unlike for Mareeta, who was canonically adopted, it's not clear if he was her biological father or not.
695* ParentalSubstitute: According to ''Thracia 776'', Leif thought of her as such when he was a child.
696* PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''.
697-->"Sincere apologies."\
698"Not one step closer."\
699"You swine."\
700"Cease this nonsense."
701* PrettyPrincessPowerhouse: The Oosawa manga [[TookALevelInBadass made her]] a [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]] with some dialogue that is actually quite scary.
702* PrincessesPreferPink: Though her portrait doesn't show it, she does wear pink in her official art and her battle sprite, especially the Master Knight sprite.
703* RecurringElement: Fulfills the [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Maria]] archetype as a later-joining female healer. However, she along with her daughter Nanna helped codify the personality traits of their archetype: a more strong-willed and/or outgoing personality to contrast with the soft-spoken Lena (Edain for this game).
704* RoyalRapier: Her Miracle sword (which in-game just gives the skill of the same name) is designed to invoke this. Most artwork also depict her with one of these.
705* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Pretty much a zig-zagged example. Japanese-wise she's called Lachesis, but when she had a cameo in ''Awakening'', she instead became Raquesis. Come ''Heroes'', she went back to Lachesis... ''even in English''.
706* StatusBuff: She has access to the Charm skill, which increases hit and avoid to allies within 3 range. She passe the skill down to Diarmuid and Nanna.
707* ThisIsUnforgivable: What she declares to Chagall regarding [[spoiler:his part in Eldigan's death]].
708* TomboyPrincess: Wields a sword, dresses less femininely than most of the other noblewomen, and refuses to marry anyone that doesn't meet the standard comparable to Eldigan.
709* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler:When she tries to persuade Eldigan to stop fighting Sigurd and demand Chagall to stop his aggression, Eldigan agrees to speak with him and gives Lachesis the Lands Sword as a memento before departing back to Silvail. This would be the last time she speaks to him, as Chagall executes him for leaving the battlefield. The Lands Sword will also be a TragicKeepsake to Nanna.]]
710* VocalDissonance: She looks a lot younger in ''Heroes'' due to the artstyle used for her, but has a very deep mature voice that would suit her ''Genealogy'' artwork more. Her 2020 Dancer alt rectifies this by having a more mature appearance, as well as a more youthful, but not unfitting, voice.
711* WalkingArmory: Upon promotion, she can wield any non-holy weapon in the game other than Aura, Nosferatu, and dark magic.
712* WellExcuseMePrincess: A particularly snobby princess with overly high standards, but nonetheless committed to the side of good. It's played up even more in the Fujimori manga, where this trope tends to get the party into situations that could have easily been avoided if it wasn't for her stuck-up attitude, especially around Lex, who was her love interest for that particular version.
713* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[http://serenesforest.net/general/designers-notes/holy-war/shouzou-kagas-comments/ The Shouzou Kaga notes]] actually made her fate more clear: Lachesis did vanish in Yied, but it was because she was taken prisoner by the Grandbell Empire, and not turned to stone by the Loptr Church, where she spent her time protecting and caring for the children taken captive by the Empire due to the Child Hunts. Once the war was over, she managed to spot Diarmuid, recognized him as her son, and then reunited with him and Nanna.

716[[folder:Beowolf ''(Beowulf)'']]
717[[quoteright:143:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/beowolffe4.png]]
718A Conote mercenary partnered with Voltz, hired by Macbeth of Agustria to hold off Sigurd. He is convinced to side with Sigurd... for a small fee. He claims to be an old friend of Eldigan, though how true his claim is is up in the air.
719
720->'''Class:''' Free Knight
721----
722* AdaptedOut: In the Oosawa manga along with Voltz, due to a change in how Anphony was approached, and probably to leave less plot threads in the matter of Lachesis' already very complex subplot.
723* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: Does this to Lachesis in chapter 5, if paired with her. He foresees what's coming at the Battle of Belhalla, and in their final love talk, he claims that he knows her "true feelings" and that she should go back to her country alone if something happens to him.
724* EveryoneHasStandards: Unlike Voltz, when he's deployed, Beowolf expresses distaste of his current employer, thinking that he's scum, but can't do much because he's a mercenary and he's been paid to do the job. Thankfully for him, Voltz then gave the hint that [[LoopholeAbuse technically he could leave if he's got better pay since he's a mercenary]], so Beowolf decided to try and offer himself for Sigurd's army.
725* FountainOfExpies: The ''Beowolf'' Archetype, mercenaries that can be recruited for the cost of a massive amount of gold.
726* ForgottenFallenFriend: His mercenary friend Voltz, though he isn't surprised that Beowolf is fighting him, as they are mercenaries.
727* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Beowolf tends to downplay his skills by words, saying that he's less skillful than Voltz. Though if hired by Sigurd and made to confront Voltz, he'll refer that it's just business, nothing personal.
728* IdenticalStranger: Bears some resemblance to Chulainn, though it is likely coincidental.
729* OfficialCouple: In ''Thracia 776'', he is very heavily implied to have fathered Lachesis' son Diarmuid.
730* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He can be convinced to join you if you pay him 10,000 gold. Though it's also hinted that Beowolf offers that because he's unhappy with his current employer, but had to follow the mercenary conduct.
731* PrivateMilitaryContractors: The Free Knight class is a mounted equivalent of the Mercenary class from other ''Fire Emblem'' games, and it shows in his story.
732* PunchClockHero: A mercenary whose attitude towards fighting his old friend (should you choose to do that) is, basically, que sera sera (not that Voltz feels any different, mind you...)
733* PunchClockVillain: An enemy purely because he's paid to be one.
734* StayInTheKitchen: Fakes this towards Lachesis before offering to help her train in one of their conversations.
735* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: One of the few characters whose fate is left ambiguous, though certain conversations hint that he, [[spoiler:like Sigurd]], was slain by Arvis after the Battle of Belhalla.

747'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakehitoKoyasu (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/SteveStaley (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
748----
749* AncestralWeapon: Forseti, which originally belonged to Ced the Crusader. Its existence is also part of why everyone is insistent on him taking his throne rather than his uncles, as [[OnlyTheChosenMayWield he's the only one who can wield and thus inherit it]].
750* ApologeticAttacker: If you have him attack Maios, he'll apologize to his uncle, citing his death as necessary for Silesse.
751* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:He ''did'' die after Belhalla at the hands of Manfroy, but Forseti revived him... or at least his body.]]
752* BadassBoast: From the Nea Fuyuki manga:
753-->"I am the wind. ''Nobody is able to keep me bound.''"
754* BewareTheNiceOnes: Generally easygoing and peace-loving, especially as the inheritor of Forseti's will, but he has ''no'' tolerance for nobles who trample over civilians and thus can be ruthless if need be, even if the enemy is his family — and God help anyone if they kill someone he loved (example, Daccar).
755* BlowYouAway: As a descendant of Forseti, he specializes in Wind magic. He starts with Elwind and eventually gets [[InfinityPlusOneSword Forseti]].
756* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:At the end of Gen 2. Many believe that he actually ''does'' die, as he got a lease on life via Forseti and now his mission is fulfilled.]]
757* CallingTheOldManOut: He gets this from his kids, [[spoiler:especially if he married Erinys]], for abandoning his wife. His level of apology depends on her identity.
758* CantStandThemCantLiveWithoutThem: He tries to dodge Silvia a lot and speak badly of her, but he does care about her as well, especially if they become lovers.
759* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Erinys, whom he's known since they were young.
760* CompassionateCritic: He can be rather blunt about his opinions, especially in Gen 2, but he always means them for the best.
761* CriticalHitClass: He has Critical as a personal skill, allowing him to perform critical hits without needing a weapon with a 50-kill bonus, a combination bonus from a lover, or the Wrath skill. If married, he will pass this skill down to his children in the second generation.
762* CrucifiedHeroShot: Happens to him in the Oosawa manga, when [[spoiler:Maios hands him a DistressBall via using a Silence staff on him and then using him as a hostage]].
763* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green hair and green eyes.
764* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:Gen 2's ending implies Forseti was possessing Lewyn's body, with the man himself dead and Forseti inheriting remnant memories from possessing him.]]
765* DeadlyEuphemism: If you're a corrupt noble, Lewyn won't hesitate to put you in your place, by declaring he will help you ''"retire"'', as Macbeth can attest to.
766* HeartbrokenBadass: In the Nea Fuyuki manga, where he does see some of the action (versus the game, where he's purely the army tactician in Gen 2) — keeping in mind that by that point, he's lost [[spoiler:his mother and his wife, and it's implied that he's not as unfeeling over this as he pretends to be]].
767* HeroicLineage: Of the Forseti bloodline and thus inheritor of its AncestralWeapon, hence why everyone wants him to rule Silesse over his uncles.
768* HeroWithBadPublicity: ''Thracia 776'' implies that the people of Silesse are disgusted with him because he appears to have abandoned them a second time, [[spoiler:not knowing that "Lewyn" is now Forseti, who is acting towards a bigger picture]].
769* HiddenHeartOfGold: It's implied that his behaviour in the Nea Fuyuki manga is this, if his gentler moments with Annand (the pegasus) and the unconscious Fee (whom he's harsh to when she awakens) are any indication.
770* ItsPersonal: To Pamela and Daccar for [[spoiler:killing Annand]].
771* JerkassHasAPoint: At one point, in response to Seliph being soft-hearted, Lewyn straight up snaps at him to go back to Tirnanog if he can't handle the war, with Oifey scolding him for being so harsh before Seliph admits to Lewyn being right.
772* KingIncognito: He hides that he's the prince of Silesse (and heir to its throne) when he first joins up, but Erinys soon reveals to Sigurd who he really is.
773* LetsGetDangerous: His debut has him offer to deal with the bandits to an [[NonPlayerCharacter NPC]] in the village he's staying at, who [[UnderestimatingBadassery doesn't take him seriously on account of him just being a traveling bard who always talks big]]. Suffice to say that Lewyn is more than capable of handling the enemies until your army gets there.
774* LoveTriangle: Lewyn finds himself in the center of one between him, Sylvia and Erinys. The player has ultimate control over his choice of bride, [[TakeAThirdOption even including those outside the triangle]], but ''Thracia 776'' sets in stone him being with Erinys. ''Genealogy'' also suggests this in-game, as if Silesse is liberated, he will have a conversation with Erinys that will automatically make them lovers.
775* ModestRoyalty: He doubts his ability to keep the country united in the face of his power-hungry uncles, thus his bard disguise. He's particularly adamant about it in Gen 2.
776--> "Seliph, I don't care what Oifey may have told you. Don't EVER address me as 'King Lewyn' again. Got it?"
777* MotherlySidePlait: Male example; he wears his hair in like this in the second generation, and is Seliph's supportive advisor. Though his attitude towards his children varies depending on who he marries.
778* NarratorAllAlong: It's implied that he is the one who recorded the [[TitleDrop Genealogy of the (final) Holy War]] as retold to the player. It certainly fits with his Bard profession.
779* NonActionGuy: He takes over the reins as the non-combatant tactician of Gen 2 just like Oifey did back in Gen 1.
780* NotAfraidToDie: In the Nea Fuyuki manga, leading to a moment of DissonantSerenity when he's briefly captured. [[spoiler:It's because, as he says, he's already dead.]]
781* OfficialCouple: In ''Thracia 776'', he is paired with Erinys.
782* OlderAndWiser: In Gen 2 compared to his self in Gen 1. In particular, he's much less soft-hearted, if not to the point of having put on JadeColoredGlasses.
783* OneManArmy: Once he gets his hands on Forseti, he can take down most enemies in one shot and almost never get hit, unless he's facing another Holy Weapon user.
784* ParentalSubstitute: To a young and amnesiac [[spoiler:Julia]].
785* ParentsAsPeople: With his kids, especially his daughters. It depends heavily on who his wife was. The only daughter he's pretty harsh to is [[spoiler:Erinys's daughter Fee]], whereas he's significantly nicer to the other two daughters he can talk to; he acts gentler to [[spoiler:Silvia's daughter Lene, assuring her that her parents always loved her]], and deeply sympathizes with [[spoiler:Tailtiu's daughter Tine, additionally shedding tears upon finding out the tragic fate of her mother and his own wife]].
786* PreMortemOneLiner:
787** If up against Macbeth.
788--->"You're Macbeth? You're not qualified to be king. It's about time you were retired..."
789** In ''Heroes'':
790--->"Forseti's rage!"\
791"Think you can handle it?"\
792"Just give up."\
793"Sorry, but this is the end."
794* PurpleIsPowerful: His sprite as a sage features him wearing purple (even though this doesn't match his predominantly blue attire in most official arts), and he may very well be one of your best and strongest units in the game's first generation, especially with Forseti.
795* RebelPrince: Is dead set against taking Silesse's throne until midway through chapter 4.
796* SandInMyEyes: If he is [[spoiler:Arthur and Tine's dad]], the latter will make him cry when telling him about [[spoiler:Tailtiu's KillTheCutie deal]].
797-->[[spoiler:'''Tine''':]] Lewyn... are you okay?\
798'''Lewyn:''' Huh? Why do you ask?\
799[[spoiler:'''Tine:''':]] I don't know. It kinda looks like you're crying.\
800'''Lewyn:''' No, I'm... it's... it must just be sweat. It's nothing...
801* SettleForSibling: Lewyn mentions that he had romantic feelings for Annand before [[spoiler:her abrupt demise at the hands of Yngvi bow knights]]. The word being "had"; he realized that all along, the one whom he truly loved might not have been Annand as he believed, but rather her younger sister Erinys, and he will tell her of this if they talked to each other near the end of chapter 4, with Lewyn declaring his love for Erinys. Indeed, they do canonically become lovers.
802* ShootTheShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:Despite the arc about him eventually deciding to become King of Silesse after all, he never does get to properly rule: due to his disappearance/secret death at the Battle of Belhalla, Erinys inherits instead, and at the end of the game, Lewyn refuses to return to his country and therefore his children take the throne in his place.]]
803* SoulJar: [[spoiler:For Forseti in Gen 2.]]
804* StealthMentor: WordOfGod says he was one for Tailtiu's son Arthur. [[FridgeBrilliance Which explains why the latter starts with Wind Magic regardless of who his father is, despite being of Thrud descent.]]
805* TheStrategist: Gen 2. Since Oifey is now a capable fighter, Lewyn takes up the role he had as a child.
806* SurvivorGuilt: In Gen 1, he mentions that he feels like [[spoiler:Annand]] got killed doing his job. Then, in Gen 2, he's not all that happy about still being alive, remarking on how [[spoiler:his mother at least [[FaceDeathWithDignity died with dignity]]]] while he's living in disgrace.
807* TeamDad: In Gen 2. He doesn't have a lot of interaction with his ''actual'' children, however.
808* {{Teleportation}}: He can use the wind to teleport in the Nea Fuyuki manga.
809* TeleportationRescue: In the Nea Fuyuki manga, he saves Seliph from falling to his death via this.
810* TookALevelInJerkass: He's a much colder person in Gen 2, if not jarringly so. [[spoiler:Namely because of the whole Forseti possession.]]
811* TheTrickster: In Gen 1.
812* UnexplainedRecovery: While he becomes a major supporting [=NPC=] in the second generation, he does ''not'' have any PlotArmor when playable in the first generation. If killed while playable, this would seem to make his appearance in the second generation alive and well all the more jarring, as the ending of Chapter 5 will list him as [=KIA=], and the Valkyrie staff will list him as a candidate for revival during the first generation. [[spoiler:Justified once you complete the game a certain number of times, which will add an opening scene revealing that Lewyn was revived by the divine dragon Forseti during or after the Battle of Belhalla, explaining why he appears in the second generation]].
813* WanderingMinstrel: Subverted, he's only using a bard disguise at first. [[spoiler:Though he dons said disguise again to slip into the Silesse castle in the Oosawa manga.]]
814* WarriorPrince: Particularly in Chapter 4, when civil war breaks out and he goes to cleanse the corruption in his country.
815* WhatTheHellHero: His mother chews him out for leaving Silesse. She does warm up to him when Lewyn returns to Silesse castle out of worry for her, acknowledging that Lewyn has matured during his time with Sigurd, bestowing him the Forseti tome afterwards, then requests for him to continue aiding Sigurd.
816* TheWisePrince: He mixes this with being a RebelPrince, being wise and benevolent enough to realize that him ascending to the throne will cause civil war to break out and bring suffering upon the people of Silesse, hence why he ran away to begin with.

822[[caption-width-right:240:Traveling Dancer]]
823
824A beautiful and energetic dancer of very shady origins, who travels Jugdral to use her skills to help ease the suffering. During her travels, she met Lewyn, and is with him in Agustria during its fight with Sigurd.
825
826->'''Class:''' Dancer\
827'''Holy blood:''' Bragi [Minor]\
828'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Yukana}} (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/LauraPost (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
829----
830
831* AbusiveParents: Her stepfather taught her how to dance but subjected her to CorporalPunishment if she failed to meet his standards.
832* ACupAngst: In the Oosawa manga, she dislikes having her flat chest pointed out. This is a problem she doesn't have in the games, for [[BigBreastPride obvious reasons]].
833* AdaptationalSlimness: Both in-game and in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', she's well-endowed in the bust department. But in the Oosawa manga, she's flat-chested and Lewyn pokes fun at her for that.
834-->'''Lewyn''': That self-confidence can't come from your breasts, that's for sure. You flat-chested girl!\
835'''Silvia''': [[ACupAngst At least call me slender! *SOB*]]
836* BarefootCaptives: She is barefoot and it's explained that she was forced to dance by her abusive adoptive father. It's likely she was kept barefoot her whole life and she decided to continue being barefooted after meeting Lewyn.
837* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: In the Oosawa manga, she explains to Erinys that Lewyn was the first person in her travels who treated her well, thus she fell for him due to his kindness.
838* BigBreastPride: She has a large bust in the games, a fact that she's quite happy with, given her reaction to Sigurd calling her a little girl.
839-->'''Silvia:''' Oh yeah? Would a little girl have a pair of ''these?''
840* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green hair and green eyes.
841* DoubleEntendre:
842-->'''Lewyn:''' Alright, you can come with me if you want. But things might get a little rough. You okay with that?\
843'''Silvia:''' Yeah! I like it rough!
844* GenkiGirl: Very upbeat and perky during the first five missions; [[spoiler:but she ends up as a a BrokenBird years later]].
845* GirlishPigtails: She has long pigtails and is one of the younger females in the party, as well as being a GenkiGirl.
846* GreenEyedMonster: In ''Heroes'', Karin refers to the still-Pegasus Knight Erinys as the queen, though Erinys tells her not to call her that much because she feels like someone is glaring daggers her way. Cue Silvia having an unspoken appearance in ellipses whom they don't see [[DissonantSerenity (though it doesn't help her portrait shows her smiling happily)]].
847* GuideDangIt: She is required for a secret event in Chapter 4. Upon entering a specific village, she will performs a dance to the village and will be rewarded a Safeguard Sword, which gives the wielder 7 defense.
848* HeroicLineage: Of the Bragi bloodline, to a degree.
849* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Strongly implied by her dialogue with Lewyn in her initial appearance.
850* LongLostRelative: Both she and Claud are of Bragi blood, though how closely they're related is unknown.
851* MissingMom: [[spoiler:After surviving the Battle of Belhalla, Silvia left her children in an orphanage and vanished once more.]]
852* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Contrasting to the Oosawa Manga, in the Fujimori manga, Silvia was more direct and downright bitchy in her confrontation to Erinys about Lewyn. And shortly after, she ''immediately'' regretted her actions and resolved to apologize to Erinys (after being encouraged by Claud).
853* PrefersGoingBarefoot: She is a dancer and is barefoot. She might had been barefoot her whole life or she does it by choice to make her footsteps easier when dancing
854* PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''.
855-->"This is going to [[DoubleEntendre get rough!]]"\
856"I have no rival!"\
857"Blossom of the battlefield!"\
858"My petals are sharp!"
859* SpoonyBard: While she ''can'' use swords, this doesn't amount to much with a base Strength of ''3'' and a Strength growth of '''10%'''. She'd be the weakest combatant in the game if that title wasn't already taken by Daisy. Thankfully, just having the Dance skill makes up for it.
860* StepfordSmiler:
861** She seems to be harboring some deeper anxieties under her smile if her lover conversation with Lewyn is any indication.
862** The Oosawa manga gives her some shades of this. [[spoiler:She starts as happy as in the game, but her "challenge" to Erinys for Lewyn's heart is unexpectedly bitter from her part, and after explaining her backstory and bond to him, she runs away crying.]]
863* {{Stripperific}}: Due to being a dancer.
864-->'''Silvia''': Are you kidding? Of course this isn't underwear. This is how dancers ''dress''!
865* SupportPartyMember: She might have low offensive stats, but her Dance ability allows other stronger units to take another action. In ''Heroes'' Silvia's abysmal Attack remains, but her high HP and Resistance stat allows her to use debuff skills that triggers base on how high the user's HP or Resistance stats are such as Panic Ploy and Sabotage skills.
866* TheTease: She can flirt shamelessly with several men. In fact, her first in-game talk with Alec had them cheerfully flirting with each other.
867* VagueAge: While she is for sure young, the fact she flirts heavily with men, has a sizable bust, and is old enough to have a child, leave it unclear just how old she really is. This can be jarring since she looks like she should be as young as 14, but overall seems older then that.

880'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaayaSakamoto (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/GinaBowes (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
881----
882* AdaptationalSkimpiness: By default, Erinys is pretty covered up, though she bares her thighs a bit with long boots. Come ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', her shoulders get revealed a bit more before getting into the shoulder pads, and her skirt has a cut to reveal more of her upper thighs.
883* AntiVillain: While she's a lot easier to avoid fighting altogether than some of the other units above, she does start off as an enemy unit and won't hesitate to fight anyone she runs into due to being under the impression that Sigurd's planning on executing Lewyn.
884* BadassNormal: She's the only woman in the first generation to lack any kind of Holy Blood, and one of the few playable characters in the game that isn't a Gen 2 replacement that lacks Holy Blood. She still is a strong unit who serves as the sole flier utility in Gen 1 as well.
885* BodyguardCrush: On Lewyn, though she can be paired with any first gen male other than Sigurd or Quan.
886* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:After the Battle of Belhalla, Erinys returned to Silesse and ended up taking the throne after Queen Rahna perished. She ruled fairly and was loved by the people, but her husband vanished and never returned; while waiting for him and her son Ced leaving her to look for him, Erinys fell ill and eventually died from it.]]
887* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Also with Lewyn; they've known each other from a young age.
888* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Ced and Fee's conversation in Gen 2 claims that she had this.
889* CombatMedic: Gains basic healing staves after promotion.
890* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green hair and green eyes.
891* DubNameChange: Because 'Fury' is mostly a word associated with emotions or a mythological creature (the Furies), the Project Naga translation patch went the other way around instead of just using 'Ferry': Rename her as 'Erin' (based on an another name associated with the mythological Furies: Erinyes). [[HilariousInHindsight This was before]] ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' localized her name as Erinys.
892* FirstGirlWins: If she gets paired up with Lewyn, due to them being ChildhoodFriends. [[spoiler:Which is the case canonically.]]
893* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The AI for her and her army has no qualms about attacking Lewyn despite the fact that they're supposed to be saving him from ''execution''. She even expresses shock about seeing him.
894-->'''Erinys:''' Prince Lewyn!? Th-this isn't possible...
895* HeelFaceTurn: She's tricked into believing that Lewyn is about to be executed by Sigurd, so Lewyn has to talk to her before she switches sides.
896* HeroicBSOD: When [[spoiler:Annand]] dies.
897-->'''Erinys''': Huh!? [[spoiler:My sister]] was... No! It can't be true! Ooooh! Please! Someone tell me it's not true!!
898* TheHighQueen: [[spoiler:After Queen Lahna's death and Lewyn's disappearance, Erinys becomes the Queen of Silesse (only if you pair her with Lewyn, in the original game; in ''Thracia 776'' and the manga, it's set in stone canon). According to Ced, she was a ReasonableAuthorityFigure and very compassionate: "She never could turn a blind eye when somebody was in trouble".]]
899* HeroicSelfDeprecation: A very serious theme for her in the Oosawa manga.
900* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: She has a possible conversation in this vein with Lewyn. If you choose to have this happen, they automatically become lovers.
901* TheIngenue: Has some traits, especially in regards to how gullible she can be sometimes.
902* ItsPersonal: To Pamela for [[spoiler:killing Annand]].
903* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:One of the seven main characters of the first generation playable crew to unambiguously end up dead by the time Seliph's quest begins. She becomes the queen of Silesse, but eventually dies of illness.]]
904* LadyOfWar: She's one of the Four Angelic Knights of Silesse, and the only one you can recruit.
905* ObliviousToLove: Her love interests have to spell "I love you" to her.
906* OfficialCouple: In ''Thracia 776'', she is paired with Lewyn.
907* PrepareToDie: What she'll declare to Chagall if the player sics her on him, as revenge for him tricking her into fighting Sigurd's army.
908* QuirkyMiniBossSquad: The squad she leads to Evans in Chapter 2 gets developed as this in the Nuts Fujimori manga, with all members given a name, face, and personality: Tino, the youngest member, a GenkiGirl in unrequited [[LesYay love with Erinys]]; Aurora, sweet childhood friend and StraightMan to Tino; Psyche, a strong and cheerful girl [[BigEater who loves to eat]]; and Jeremiah, the CoolBigSis of the squad and Erinys's [[TheLancer Lancer]].
909* RagsToRoyalty: Regardless of whom she married, Rahna entrusted her with the Kingdom of Silesse before her passing and Erinys went from a random soldier to the Queen of Silesse.
910* SorryThatImDying: Kill her when she's an enemy unit, and her death quote is an apology to Queen Lahna. If she's killed as a playable unit, it'll be Lewyn whom she apologizes to.
911* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Visually, she looked similar to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight the eldest Whitewing, Palla]], being a Pegasus Knight with long flowing green hair and has white-green color scheme and is a leader of her squad (except Erinys' were random people unrelated to her and Palla's were her sisters) while also having a superior in that field (Annand, Erinys' sister, and Minerva, Palla's non-blood related superior).
912* TenderTears: Is said to cry a lot in the Oosawa manga.
913* ThisIsUnforgivable: A few of her special dialogue lines against bosses have her declare this.
914* TookALevelInBadass: Back when she was a Pegasus Knight trainee, she was noted to be the weakest between the Four Angelic Knights (her, Annand, Díthorba and Pamela), and the biggest crybaby of them all. She outlived them all and with the exception of Annand, she pretty much surpassed them in combat.
915* UnexpectedSuccessor: [[spoiler:Despite being a pegasus knight (albeit an elite one) with no royal blood, in Lewyn's absence, Rahna appoints her to inherit the throne. Erinys becomes queen regardless of whether she's married to Lewyn or not.]]

920
921The leader of the Orgahill pirates, abducted and raised by them at a very young age. She is the missing daughter of Yngvi's Lord Ring, the twin sister of Edain, and the one holding the major Ullr blood in this generation. The pirates turn on her with dissatisfaction at her style of leadership, and after running away, she is reunited with Edain and receives the sacred Yewfelle bow.
922->'''Class:''' Sniper\

924'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkemiOkamura (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Caitlyn Elizabeth (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
925----
926* AloofArcher: She might not look like it, being that she's [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl the more tomboyish sister compared to Edain]] and raised by pirates, but Brigid really keeps her calm most of the time and is an excellent sharpshooter with her bow, even before getting Yewfelle.
927* AncestralWeapon: Yewfelle, which originally belonged to Ullr the Crusader. The fact that Brigid can wield it is part of Edain's proof that Brigid is whom Edain says she is.
928* BadassInDistress:
929** She joins when her crew mutinies, and she has to flee towards Bragi Tower. (It's actually quite possible that she, Tailtiu, and Claud will finish off the gang that's after her before the main portion of the army catches up.)
930** The Oosawa manga adds up further that her crews instead ambushed her, [[BoundAndGagged tied her up and gagged her]], and used her as a bargaining chip for Sigurd's army for a 'fake surrender' strategy. Then Edain freed her, gets captured in her stead, and Brigid displays her archery skill to save Edain and put an 'end' to the whole gang (that is, dismantling them so they can become type 2 Pirates).
931* BrokenBird: She's distressed to learn that the man who raised her wasn't her real father, and her conversation with Sigurd has her seemingly resigned to him killing her.
932* CainAndAbel: Her younger brother Andrey killed her father for the inheritance.
933* FriendlyPirate: She is the captain of Orgahill pirates, who starts off as Sigurd's enemy, but whose honorable ways eventually cause her crew to mutiny against and to oust her, after which she joins Sigurd's army. While she was raised by her crew's late captain, she is eventually revealed to be the long-lost twin sister of Lady Edain of Yngvi, whom the pirates had kidnapped as a baby.
934* HeroicLineage: Of the Ullr bloodline and thus inheritor of its AncestralWeapon, though she's unaware of this until Edain tells her.
935* JustLikeRobinHood: As a pirate.
936--> “Dobarl, enough! I won't allow any such nonsense! I've got a creed to uphold, and pilfering is no part of it. We Orgahill Pirates are known for giving to the poor, not taking from them!”
937* TheLadette: Due to her upbringing as a pirate.
938* LovingAShadow: If she hooks up with either Jamke or Midir, she will deeply fear that they only love her for being the twin sister of Edain. Both of them will dispel her worries in their last love talk.
939* PirateGirl: Was kidnapped as a child by type 2 pirates, but the leader grew fond of her and raised her as his kid and the future leaderess of the group. Though sadly she's not in the pirate class, who seem to be AlwaysMale in ''Fire Emblem''.
940* PolarOppositeTwins: She and Edain. Their relationship is more friendly -- Edain even gives Brigid her best weapon, the Yewfelle Bow, which she kept for years as she patiently waited for her older sister's return.
941* RecurringElement: A later-joining prepromote archer with an affinity to a powerful bow just like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Jeorge]]. She even looks like a GenderFlip version of Jeorge.
942* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Edain's Girly Girl.
943* TraumaInducedAmnesia: [[spoiler:She survived Belhalla, but was memory-wiped afterwards. She took up the name "Eyvel", and we see her as a playable character in ''Thracia''. Her Thracia ending says she recovered her memories in the end and was reunited with Patty and Febail.]]
944* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:Towards Andorey in Chapter 5, doubly so because said father was also Andorey's, therefore Brigid is doing this ''and'' calling him out for {{Patricide}}]].

957* ApologeticAttacker: Like with Lex, if you're cruel enough to make her attack her father.
958* BlackMagicianGirl: Frieges are usually thunder mages.
959* BreakTheCutie: After [[spoiler:Belhalla, her brother abducts her and her daughter and forces them to return to Friege, where they're abused by his wife Hilda. Ultimately KillTheCutie, when she succumbed to illness due to said abuse and then died a broken woman]].
960* CainAndAbel: Her older brother Bloom has to be defeated, and also had a hand in [[spoiler:her death by letting Hilda abuse her to death, when he could at least lift a finger]].
961* CharacterDevelopment: Though not exactly the most positive one. While at first introduced as a very cheery girl, she gradually loses her cheerfulness, first when she shows insecurity on joining Sigurd's army because of her being Reptor's daughter, and [[spoiler:it eventually spirals down into a completely sad woman who died in depression after numerous tortures, with none of her cheerful spirit left any longer]].
962* ChildhoodFriend: Tailtiu, Azelle, and Lex were very close before the events of the game, and it shows in their conversations with one another.
963* ChildhoodFriendRomance: She'll be an UnluckyChildhoodFriend or VictoriousChildhoodFriend depending on whether or not she's paired up with Azelle or Lex.
964* ChronicallyKilledActor: Tailtiu is the first ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' character to be voiced by Creator/HoukoKuwashima in Japan, and she has cultivated a reputation of 'having a death star hovering on her/her characters often end up dead'. Kuwashima pretty much landed a role within a ''Fire Emblem'' game with the highest death counts. [[spoiler:And Tailtiu is considered to have [[DeathByDespair the most depressing death]] amongst the 1st generation, befitting Kuwashima's reputation.]]
965* CriticalStatusBuff: She has the Wrath skill, which means her attacks will always be critical hits when under half her HP. She will always pass this skill to Arthur and Tine.
966* TheCutie: The first generation's token 'adorable young girl' in addition to Sylvia. [[spoiler:And then she gets [[BreakTheCutie broken]] and [[KillTheCutie killed]].]]
967* DaddysGirl: Deconstructed. Tailtiu really looked up to her father and wished to uphold her family's honor and its implied that her father did genuinely love her, but he was also a power-hungry manipulator. Tailtiu choses to fight against him because she feels its the right thing to do and even hopes she can make him see the error of his ways. It doesn't work and ultimately he is killed, causing her to believe that she disgraced the family's honor and that he died hating her. Even in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', Tailtiu still believes that [[ItsAllMyFault she's at fault for this]].
968* DeathByDespair: [[spoiler:After the Battle of Belhalla, Tailtiu took refugee in Silesse to raise her children, but was captured later on along with her daughter Tine by Friege troops under her brother Bloom. Imprisoned in her own home after losing contact with Arthur and tortured by her sister-in-law Hilda to protect Tine, eventually Tailtiu slowly lost her will to live, becoming a sorrowful woman and dying in depression.]]
969* DefectorFromDecadence: Her father Reptor is in cahoots with Lombard and Arvis, but she stays in Sigurd's army [[spoiler:even after he's branded a traitor]]. She shows considerable angst about it.
970* FallenPrincess: Once she was an esteemed princess of the Friege house. After the Battle of Belhalla, she's considered a traitor, had to hide in Silesse, [[spoiler:gets forcefully brought back to Granvalle where the traitor brand is shown more clearly and she's treated as at best a prisoner in her own home, a punching bag for Hilda at worst, and her brother Bloom did nothing in order to maintain the image of 'punish traitors of the Empire']].
971* FragileSpeedster: Her speed growth is phenomenal at the expense of... Pretty much everything else aside from skill and luck, and needs to rely on her Wrath skill to deal damage.
972* GenkiGirl: At first, presented as a spunky girl who'd casually tell the dignified Claud to ‘quit his jabberin'’ in the middle of a serious talk. Even as she started showing insecurity, she still remained upbeat (look at her face). However, [[spoiler:in the end of the life, she's no longer this, as Tine described her to be 'always sad' and cried every day until she died of depression]].
973* GlassCannon: At low health, she activates her personal skill, Wrath, where all her attacks will be {{Critical Hit}}s. At that point, she will be able to kill most enemies in one shot... but will also be killed by pretty much anything that hits her.
974* HeroicLineage: Of the Thrud bloodline, to a degree. Tailtiu and her sister remain to be among the few people in the Thrud lineage that stayed good people instead of being power-hungry maniacs.
975* HonorRelatedAbuse: [[spoiler:On the receiving end of this. Tailtiu just wanted to praise her father, but he condemned her to be shaming the house's name for turning against him. Then her siblings continued the practice when they captured her. Also adding to that, [[ItsAllMyFault Tailtiu considered herself to be at fault.]]]]
976* {{Irony}}: The cheeriest and brightest girl in the first generation. [[spoiler:Gets probably the most depressing death.]]
977* IMissMom: Missed her ''grandma'', more likely, she seems to love her very much. The thing Tailtiu asked about the capabilities of the Valkyrie Staff is if it can bring back her sweet grandma. Also expanded in the Mitsuki Oosawa manga, whereas there's a flashback of her grandma's funeral and the only thing preventing her from crying over it is Azelle holding her hands.
978* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:One of the seven main characters of the first generation playable crew to unambiguously end up dead by the time Seliph's quest begins. She is abducted by Bloom and horrifically abused by Hilda, and eventually dies of illness.]]
979* LastGirlWins: If she's paired up with any first-generation male, as she's the last woman to join the party. Except for Azelle or Lex, since they were ChildhoodFriends.
980* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCbgtT7yXKw Shares one with her daughter]], which is surprisingly melancholic considering [[GenkiGirl how cheery she presented herself]], though this played for her when she was expressing her insecurities to Azelle just after arriving at Silesse. [[spoiler:It eventually foreshadows her depressing fate and death.]]
981* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: The good daughter of Reptor. [[spoiler:The eldest of the two, actually: the younger is Ethnia.]]
982* MagicKnight: As a Mage Fighter, she can use swords and magic.
983* MagikarpPower: She's the last unit you get in the 1st generation and she's horribly underleveled, and while she could get decent on being leveled, it requires a good amount of babying, and while she won't be that gamebreaking unlike Lewyn, she'll still come off decent for the last moments you'd play her. On the contrary, her children come early and with certain marriage setups can become deadly (for instance: [[DiscOneNuke Arthur with Forseti]]) or at least feasible to use, so there's still a good worth on raising the low-leveled Tailtiu, basically quite similar to the Est archetype for the 1st generation,
984* MamaBear: [[spoiler:Even in her lowest times, whenever Hilda threatened little Tine, she gathered what was left of her spunk and willingly took her CorporalPunishment so her girl would be physically untouched.]]
985* MumLooksLikeASister: She's one of the younger girls of the 1st generation characters and probably [[TeenPregnancy gave birth to Arthur and Tine as a teenager]], and constantly kept that youthful face as her face sprite, [[spoiler:though her face at the end of her life where she has been utterly broken and depressed remains unknown]]. It's easy for unwary fans to think that she looks more like Arthur and Tine's outgoing sister if they're in one picture.
986* NiceGirl: While she could get a little teasing and had a rather short attention span, she's still overall a very friendly girl who is easy to befriend.
987* OlderThanTheyLook: She's supposed to be the older sister of Ethnia. [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/e/e4/Ethnia.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100205161127 This is Ethnia.]] Confused that Tailtiu was supposedly older?
988* PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''.
989-->"Here I go!"\
990"Sorry!"\
991"Enough!"\
992"Bye-bye now!"
993* RebelliousPrincess: She knows her father is Sigurd's enemy. She joins his army anyway... though she was at first hesitant on being unwelcome in the team. She got over it quickly.
994* RecurringElement: The later-joining female mage in the line of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Linde]]. Character-wise, Tailtiu also shares Linde's cheery attitude and troubled background. [[spoiler:Ironically, she becomes the Miloah for her daughter Tine, who inherits her Linde traits.]]
995* {{Patricide}}: If you personally make her kill her father. He has better stats than her and a Holy Weapon. [[NintendoHard Good luck achieving that]].
996* ShockAndAwe: As a Thrud descendant, she is highly specialized in Thunder magic, in which she could only wield Thunder magic at her base class.
997* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Another one of the big examples; "Tiltyu" was an accepted transliteration of her name from kana in the [=90s=], but even then some people took issue with it because of certain issues noted below. One or two Japanese sources also spelled her name "Tailte", but nobody thought that was right... until it turned out it ''was''. (Kind of.) The whole problem with her stems from the fact that she is named after a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailtiu comparatively obscure figure in Irish-Gaelic myth]]; in old Irish, the nearest anglicization of her name is "Tailtiu", and more modern versions go for "Tailte". There's also an argument that says the spelling should be "Tail'''l'''tiu", to get the L right. "Tiltyu" came about due to the kana used for the Japanese transliteraion of the Irish name and the character being obscure to all but the most dedicated of scholars of Irish myth prior to the widespread availability of the Internet.
998* StepfordSmiler: Looks cheerful and plucky, but fears she'll be branded as a traitor. [[spoiler:And after Belhalla... her fears come true.]]
999* TakeCareOfTheKids: Each one of her lover's talks will involve this in one sense or another.
1000* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to [[spoiler:Ethnia's]] Girly Girl.
1001* TomboyishPonytail: Most of the other women wear their hair loose, but childish and plucky Tailtiu has hers up.
1002* WellDoneSonGuy: She really just wished to uphold her family honor and make her father proud in a good way, but then what she got was the other way around: Being referred as a disgrace to the house.
1003* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WordOfGod Shouzou Kaga's notes]] for a scrapped third section of the game imply that [[spoiler:after her death, Tailtiu was buried with an ice coffin by Bloom and the coffin was sent to Silesse. A surviving Claud used his life force to empower the Valkyrie Staff and brought Tailtiu BackFromTheDead and allowed her to reunite with her children and her husband (in this case Azelle)]].
1004* WhiteSheep: One of the two members of the Friege household that are not megalomaniacal and power-hungry. She would later pass this trait to her children.
1005[[/folder]]
1006
1007[[folder:Father Claud of Edda ''(Claude)'']]
1008[[quoteright:143:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/claudfe4.png]]
1009
1010Edda's ruler, who traveled to Bragi Tower to pray and learn of the truth of the circumstances of Prince Kurth's death. Accompanied by Tailtiu, the two are cornered by the pirates of Orgahill upon departure.
1011
1012->'''Class:''' High Priest\
1013'''Holy blood:''' Bragi [Major]
1014----
1015* BackFromTheDead: As the descendant of Bragi, he can use the Valkyrie staff to resurrect a fallen ally from the dead. Unlike the [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Aum staff]], the Valkyrie staff can be repaired at a hefty cost of 30000 gold, but it is possible to resurrect more than one time. He can pass the Valkyrie staff and Bragi blood to his children, however, only Ced and Coirpre can actually use the Valkyrie staff.
1016* ChickMagnet: He has quite a bit of base love points with the non-fixed women, with only [[TomboyPrincess Lachesis and Brigid]] having relatively lower base love points.
1017* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:He clearly knows he'll die at Belhalla, and in fact he tears up when he finds out in the Oosawa manga, but decides to go anyway because YouCantFightFate. See his lover's talk with Edain.]]
1018* HeroicLineage: Of the Bragi bloodline and thus the wielder of the Valkyrie Staff.
1019* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:One of the seven main characters of the first generation playable crew to unambiguously end up dead by the time Seliph's quest begins. He foresees his own demise at the Battle of Belhalla, and in ''Thracia 776'' is referred to as "the late Bishop Claud".]]
1020* TheLancer: He fills in for Quan's role as this to Sigurd once he leaves.
1021* LastOfHisKind: If he doesn't marry, then House Edda ends with him.
1022* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He's got the longest hair of any man in the army, and he has delicate features.
1023* LongLostRelative: Both he and Silvia are descendants of Bragi, but how closely they are related is unknown.
1024* NiceGuy: A very gentlemanly man.
1025* PrincelyYoungMan: The Gentleman type.
1026* RecurringElement: PlayedWith. He is the 'magic-attuned mentor of another mage' of the game, following [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Wendell]]'s example. But his pupil isn't Tailtiu, despite her constantly following him, and doesn't appear at all in ''Genealogy''. Said pupil is actually [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776 Sleuf, who appeared in the midquel.]]
1027* RedHerring: He's with Tailtiu in the beginning and she's smitten to him, and he's also one of her easier predestined. Sounds like an easy pairing option for the beginners. The result? Arthur gets the Valkyrie staff... ''but can't use it due to class restriction''. The gag manga makes fun of this quite a bit.
1028* {{Seers}}: His Bragi blood allows him to divine the truth and even see the future.
1029* SexyPriest: He's an older man, but Tailtiu is clearly head over heels for him.
1030* SpiritAdvisor: [[spoiler:In ''Thracia'', his disciple Sleuf can invoke his spirit for guidance.]]
1031* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WordOfGod Shouzou Kaga's notes]] for a scrapped third section of the game imply that [[spoiler:Claud also survived Belhalla, but when he was found by his wife (in this case, Silvia), he's crippled for life and his wife became his ears, limbs, and mouth, watching his children (in this case, Lene and Corple) from afar. Later on, he [[SacrificialRevivalSpell used his life force]] to use the Valkyrie Staff to resurrect Tailtiu, [[HeroicSacrifice and perished]], and the Valkyrie Staff is rendered unusable and unrepairable from that point on.]]
1032* WhiteMage: He joins as a healer, and his family's relic is a staff that resurrects the dead.
1033* TheWisePrince: He's quite serious, and troubled by the state of affairs in Jugdral. His gift of precognition also clues him in to what's going to happen in Chapter 5, but he keeps fighting alongside Sigurd anyway.
1034* YouCantFightFate: [[spoiler:In the Bragi Tower, he learned that Sigurd will fail in his journey and he himself will die in the Battle of Belhalla. Rather than change it, he accepts the outcome and continues to fight with Sigurd.]]
