The Lords[]

Chrom[]

Chrom FaceRight

The first and foremost main character of the game, Chrom is the Crown Prince of the Halidom of Ylisse and a descendant of both Marth alias the Hero King of the Akaneia games and the Exalt who defeated the Evil Dragon Grima. Although he's the heir to his older sister Emmeryn's throne, he serves as Captain of a vigilante force named the Shepherds to keep his country at peace, and when suspicious activity is happening in the enemy nation of Plegia, he decides to investigate. He wields his nation's treasured sword, the Binding Blade "Falchion".

 Class: Lord

The Avatar (default: Robin in the West, Reflet in Japan)[]

Avatar FE13 Portrait 1
Avatar FE13 Portrait 2

Another main hero of the game, whose identity and name (and some of their stats, though not their starting class) is crafted by the player. At the beginning of the game, the Avatar is lying unconscious on the roadside, when they are rescued by Chrom and Lissa and then taken into the Shepherds. Despite losing their memory, The Avatar has great knowledge of fighting battles and serves as the vigilantes' tactician.

Cquote1

 Class: Tactician

Cquote2

  • Accidental Pervert: Inverted in a Female Avatar's A support with Chrom, where she walks in on a naked Chrom.
  • Amnesiac Hero: Starts off with an bad case of amnesia, save for a weird dream of the future. 
  • Audience Surrogate: Obviously.
  • Badass: Pretty much goes without speaking.
  • Battle Couple: Can be paired with any playable unit of the opposite sex.
  • Bifauxnen: A short-haired Female Avatar can look like this.
  • Character Customization: The player can give them different body builds, hairstyles, hair colors, etc. The portraits shown are their default appearance, and here is a sort-of mini-game to build one's own Avatar.
  • Chick Magnet / Dude Magnet: The Avatar is confirmed to be able to hook up with ANY of the playable characters, provided their of the opposite gender. Save for Morgan.
  • Demonic Possession: In the Spoiler Opening.
  • Did You Just Romance Cthulu?: A Male one can hook up with Tiki, whose a Person of Mass Destruction that her mother Naga had to put her into Deep Sleep to prevent her from degenerating into madness like all the other dragons. Her power is so tremendous that if she goes wild, the world will be destroyed.
    • It's also possible to pair them up with the Spotpass characters, including Gangrel and Valhart
  • Jekyll Plays Hyde: In the main game
  • Elemental Powers - Able to wield magic tomes
  • Gameplay and Story Segregation: The scene where Sumia accidently punches Chrom where Flavia jokes about how love hurts. This scene happens even if both characters are married by that point to other people (specifically to your avatar).
  • Girlish Pigtails: Female Robin's default hairstyle.
  • Hero Without: Grima's
  • Hello, Insert Name Here: The player can name them however they like. This gave place to a minor meme where players would give them all kinds of Punny or Unfortunate Names....
  • Heroes Prefer Swords: The only melee weapon is able the wield as a Strategist are swords.
  • Heroic Mime: Strangely enough, the Japanese players were given the option to make them one. This was removed in the Western one.
  • Heterosexual Life Partners: Female Robin and Chrom if she doesn't romance him.
  • Hot Dad or Hot Mom: Of Morgan. The Female Avatar can also be the mom of Lucina, whereas the Male one can be the father of near all the other future kids save for Lucina, depending on whether his wife has her own child or not (ie, if he marries Spotpass!Emmeryn they'll only have Morgan, whereas if he marries Lissa they'll have Morgan and Owain).
  • Implied Love Interest: The Female Avatar is this, alongside Sumia, for Chrom. She is the only one of his five playable girlfriends who retains important to the plot and it's fairly easy to get her and Chrom married per accident.
  • In the Hood: In some the CG cut scenes, no doubt due to the number of variations in his/her appearance presenting a logistical nightmare otherwise. In others, like what looks like the first one, things are shown from his/her perspective to avoid looking at him/her at all.
  • Launcher of a Thousand Ships: In-universe! S/he can marry anyone of the opposite gender (save for Morgan, of couse)
  • Magic Knight: Is able to wield swords and magic.
  • Magikarp Power: S/he isn't a guaranteed Game Breaker like in the previous game. The Tactician class starts out with stats and growth rates slightly weaker than the Lord class. However, by branching into different classes will allow you to learn their class skills and equip them when you class change back. Plus, Tactician and its promotion Grandmaster are pretty decent classes in themselves...
  • Mama Bear: Female Robin to Lucina, Morgan and the rest of her children. You actually can see this in the story if you romance Chrom and thus have Lucina.
  • Mark of the Beast: On the back of his/her hand. Yes, it is related to Grima
  • Mission Control: His/her role within the army. S/he is however, also a certified Badass in combat.
  • Official Couple: Technically with anymore, but special mention to Chrom/Female Robin.
  • One-Man Army: Can potentially become this if you got the time. Robin has to the ability the class change into any non-exclusive class and learn their skills. With the right skill setups, you can one-shot enemies and dodge enemies like a bullet timer.
  • Papa Wolf: Male Robin to Morgan and any other of his kids.
  • Platonic Life Partners: Male Robin and Chrom.
  • Shock and Awe: Robin starts the game off with an Thunder tome. Other games tend to give him/her Thoron from the very start.
  • The Strategist: Both their starting class and their role within the army. S/he's also a tactician though.
  • This Loser Is You: Completely inverted. Not only does s/he have a special class and is the first true Magic Knight since Judgral, but he/she can also get paired with Chrom and Sumia and many others, and even have kids. Way to go, stud/hottie!
  • Zettai Ryouiki: Female as a Grandmaster appears to have some.


"Marth"[]

Lucina Marth Mask Portrait

A swordsman who claims to be the Hero King of ages long past. He wields another Falchion, a blade once thought to be unique, and appears during Chrom's hour of need...

She is actually Chrom's daughter from the future, Princess Lucina, and the reason she wears the mask is to hide the mark of Naga on her eye. The tropes here are more proper of her "Marth" identity; those she exhibits from Chapter 13 onwards (where she's revealed to be Chrom's child) will have their own section

Cquote1

 Class: Lord

Cquote2

Playable characters[]

Liz Portrait

Lissa[]

Chrom's sister and the Princess of the Halidom of Ylisse. She is a member of the Shepherds and a staff-wielding Cleric. Although she appears to be naive of worldly goings-ons and sometimes acts like a spoiled princess, she is kind deep inside.

Cquote1

 Class: Cleric

Cquote2

  • Anime Hair: Her Girlish Pigtails are unnaturally fluffy.
  • An Axe to Grind: Unbelieveably, she can be an axe-wielder if you promote her to War Cleric!
  • Battle Ballgown: Her default outfit, which is the standard for Clerics.
  • Bodyguard Crush: If paired with Lon'qu, who according to their supports was appointed as her personal protector.
  • Deadpan Snarker: She has a dry sense of humor. She mostly shows it to Virion and Fredrick.
  • Hot Mom: Of Owain.
  • Mark of Naga: She has one, but no one knows where it is. Actually, she doesn't have it and that makes her fear that she's an illegitimate child. But Owain gets his mark from her.
  • Nice Hat: Buttons.
  • Spoiled Sweet: A bit bratty and prone to pranks, but very kind and sweet.
  • White Mage / Staff Chick: The only thing she can do in her Cleric class is to heal her allies and teleport them with an staff.

Fredrick[]

Frederik Portrait

A knight serving the Halidom of Ylisse. He supports Chrom as his deputy in the Shepherds. Calm and collected, Frederick prefers guiding others.

Cquote1

 Class: Great Knight

Cquote2

  • Badass in a Nice Suit: Wears a suit underneath his armor.
  • Battle Butler: He occasionally acts like Chrom's personal manservant and he's more than capable of holding his own ground on the battlefield. Heck, he wears a butler outfit under his armor!
  • Crutch Character: He hits hard with his Silver Lance in the first third ofthe game, but he suffers from low growth rates upon leveling up. Along with barely getting any experience points as he fights. For reference, the rest of the cast starts off on more or less equal footing with the current opposition and gain an modest amount of EXP and will eventually surpass this guy.
  • Does Not Like Spam: It's established in an cutscene early on in the game that he dislikes eating wild animals because of their taste. And his Support Conversations with the male Avatar more or less fails to change this. 
  • Embarrassing Nickname: "Freddy Bear" from Lissa, "Fredericson" from the Male Avatar. He does like being called "Frederick the Wary", though.
  • First Love: Lissa's. If they marry, she'll lampshade it 
  • The Lancer: In addition to actually wielding an lance and being the lieutenant of Chrom's militia, his cautious personality is usually used as an foil to his captain's trusting nature
  • Lightning Bruiser: Early on, he hits hard, has excellent mobility (as long as not compared to the fliers and other mounted units), usually hits twice, and is generally unkillable. But the Valmese are more or less on equal ground with him, though.
  • The Mentor: His role in the Shepherd's hierarchy includes teaching his subordinates how to fight.
  • Team Dad: In addition to training the Shepherds he can cook, clean house, etc. Lampshaded if he romances Sumia, as he tells her that he fell for her while watching over her clumsy attempts to help.
  • Why Did it Have To Be Snakes?: He greatly fears big wild animals, because as a child he was attacked by a wild bear. As such, his supports with Panne are about him trying to get over such things.

Sumia[]

Sumia

A member of the Shepherds, implied to be a minor noble. She is a klutz and feels that she isn't up to the job because of it. Possesses the mysterious ability to understand the feelings of animals.

Cquote1

 Class: Pegasus Knight

Cquote2

  • Armor-Piercing Slap: Delivers a big one to Chrom, when he has a near meltdown after Emmeryn returns to Ylisse knowing that she will be captured by Gangrel.
  • Battle Couple: With either Chrom, Frederick, the Male Avatar, Gaius or Henry.
  • Blade on a Stick: She even gets Lancefaire as a Falcon Knight.
    • Magic Knight: Gains tomes along with Lances if promoted to Dark Flier.
  • Cute Clumsy Girl: She's constantly tripping over something.
  • Friend to All Living Things: She has a knack for getting along with near every single animal.
  • Heroic Self-Deprecation: She has a crappy self-esteem, and it's played rather seriously for such a klutzy young woman.
  • Hot Mom: Of Cynthia.
  • Innocent Flower Girl: She loves flowers and uses them for fortune telling.
  • Implied Love Interest: One of Chrom's, alongside the Female Avatar. Among his few girlfriends, she has the highest auto-marriage priority with him (Meaning if he's not married by Chapter 11 and two girls have equal supports with him, she takes precedence.)
  • Opposites Attract: Henry is a Creepy Good Black Mage, Sumia is a gentle Dork Knight. He also happens to be one of the very few guys who can win her heart.
    • On the other hand Gaius is a snarky, cynical Lovable Rogue. Again, he can ensnare Sumia's heart easily if the player wants him to.
  • Plucky Girl: Sumia knows she's klutzy and ditzy, but she keeps trying no matter what.

Kellam[]

Cullum

An armoured knight who serves the Shepherds. He shoulders the vigilantes' defences, but is sorely lacking in presence and isn't noticed even among his fighting peers.

Cquote1

 Class: Armor Knight

Cquote2

  • Blade on a Stick: His starting class only uses lances.
  • Butt Monkey: His first appearance in an issue of Famitsu was spent demonstrating different death quotes between classic and casual mode. His supports aren't much better to him.
  • The Generic Guy
  • Gentle Giant: He's passive-aggressive about being forgotten, but other than that he's a genuinely kind man.
  • Heroic Build: Kozaki's artwork reveals that, underneath his armor, Kellam is ripped.
  • Impossibly Cool Clothes: His armor a certain value of "cool", but certainly "impossible". He says that it's a gift from the people of his very small and poor village, who were ecstatic to learn that he was able to get into the Shepherds and commisioned it for him. Even if they got his size wrong.
  • Mighty Glacier: A bit slow but VERY strong.
  • Spell My Name with an "S": For some reason, "Cullum" quickly became a widely circulated translation of his name after his existence was revealed. It isn't even a real name, nor does it match up particularly well with the katakana.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: If he marries, his children will never miss his presence. While this can be attributed to the dad supports being generic, the DLC stage "The Future Past" extends it to their personalized talks. i.e, if he fathers Kjelle, the one from that world will tell him how brave, strong and kind her father was, and how she shaped herself into a strong fighter to be just like him.
    • Also, prospect girlfriends like Cordelia, Panne or Nowi will easily catch sights of him.
  • Who Is This Guy Again?: He lacks presence so much, there a massive Running Gag about people literally being unable to see him. There's a reason for it: he used to be a cruel and selfish Bratty Half-Pint as a child, and his family and neighbors (save for his eldest brother) started ignoring him as punishment... and somehow, it stuck.

Lon'qu[]

Ronku

A swordsman from the Kingdom of Regna Ferox, located to the north of Ylisse. His skill with the sword is undeniable, but not so much with his skill with women. The reason for this is that his First Love was a young girl his age who was killed by bandits (and implied to have died to save him), so he developed gynophobia because of his inability to do anything to help her, always believing that any woman who gets close to him is bound to be killed.

Cquote1

 Class: Myrmidon

Cquote2

  • The Ace: The reason why he fights for Chrom is because he's technically an gift from Basilio in recognition of the new alliance between Regna Ferox and Ylisse and he's one of the best swordsmen Basilio has to offer.
  • Bodyguard Crush: Lon'qu's supports with Lissa show that Chrom specifically tasked him with the protection of his Genki Girl younger sister. If the whole support chain is cleared, he will fall in love with her and she'll like him back.
  • Broken Ace: Despite what has been said, he also turns out to have been deeply hurt in his past. So badly that, if he supports with Tharja, he actually asks her to give him amnesia so he won't have to deal with his trauma anymore.
  • Cannot Talk to Women: He has an fear of women, due to not having been able to protect the girl who was both his First Love and Only Friend.. Which is why he prefers to isolate himself from them.  Despite this, he can be paired with ladies as special as Lissa and Tharja.
  • Cool Sword: He joins Chrom's militia armed with an Killing Edge, an sword that vaguely resembles an katana and has an high critical hit rate.
  • He-Man Woman Hater: Subverted, Lon'qu may have difficulties to deal with ladies but he does NOT hate them at all. In fact, he gets rather annoyed when Lissa and Sully directly ask him if he hates women.
  • Tall, Dark and Handsome: The Drama CD's imply that, despite his fear of ladies, he's considered as very good-looking by them.
  • Tall, Dark and Snarky: He can also have a very, very dry wit.
  • Wouldn't hit a Girl: In his Support Conversations with Sully, he initially refuses to spar with her on account of his past and the fact that she's an woman. She misinterprets his refusal as an insult and winds up dueling him as he goes easy on her.

Stahl[]

SolKakusei

A knight who serves Chrom's Shepherds. He has a gentle, trusting personality.

Cquote1

 Class: Cavalier

Cquote2

  • Blue Oni Red Oni: The Blue Oni to Sully's Red.
  • Jack of All Stats: In his Support Conversations with Miriel, they discover that he's perfectly average in just about everything he does when he's compared to everyone else. 
  • Name's the Same: With the Sol skill (not its Japanese name) in the original Japanese. Given that said skill is present in Awakening, the dude's name became Stahl. Ironically, he can't have the Sol skill since he doesn't have Hero as a reclass option!
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: the feminine boy to Sully's masculine girl.
  • Nice Guy

Sully[]

Soiree-0

A female knight who serves Chrom's Shepherds. She prizes combat and has a daring, strong-willed personality. Although she's an knight by birthright, she wants to prove herself rather than inherit the title.

Cquote1

 Class: Cavalier

Cquote2

  • Action Girl: Personality-wise, she isn't one to just stay on the sidelines and do nothing. Especially if it doesn't contribute to her training. And this carries over to the story, where she doesn't waste an lot of time coming to Chrom's aid when the Risen appears. 
  • Blue Oni Red Oni: The Red Oni to Stahl's Blue.
  • Bokukko: A young woman who talks like a guy. She's also the first ever female member of the Red Knight/Green Knight duo.
  • Childhood Friend Romance: If she's romanced by Chrom.
  • Fiery Redhead: Sully is Hot-Blooded to the max, and has red hair to match.
  • Hot Mom: Of Kjelle
  • Lethal Chef: As a part of her Femininity Failure.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: the masculine girl to Stahl's feminine boy.
  • Sir Swearsalot: Fitting her tomboyish nature, she curses (or at the very least, the closest this game has to cursing) an lot more than anyone else in the game. She does it because she had three older brothers who had a hand in her raising.
  • Tomboy: By her own admission, she prefers fighting and training over some of the more feminine hobbies that her peers have.

Miriel[]

Miriel

A member of the Shepherds. A methodical perfectionist, she is harsh towards those who act thoughtlessly. 

Cquote1

 Class: Mage

Cquote2

  • Black Mage: Her starting class exclusively uses offensive magic.
  • Expy: Some fans think of her as a young!Mcgonagall.
  • For Science: Her Support Conversations usually involves her working on an experiment or researching whomever she's talking to.
  • Hot Mom: Of Laurent.
  • Maternally Challenged: If she's the mother of a female Morgan, she has trouble handling her perky personality and emotional outbursts. Her event tiles with Laurent also suggest she was somewhat distant with him when he was a child, and that they can relate more easily to one another in the present due to his being an adult and on her own level.
  • Nice Hat
  • Robe and Wizard Hat
  • Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: She mainly talks in an scientific manner. In fact, it's at the point to where some of the characters have trouble understanding what's she's saying. 
  • The Stoic: She doesn't really emote much, aside from being mildly irritated or curious. Even her Love Confessions have her talking far more calmly than near all the other women.

Vaike[]

Vake

A fighter who serves the Shepherds. He is Chrom's childhood friend and the two sort of have a bond between them.

Cquote1

 Class: Fighter

Cquote2

  • An Axe to Grind: As an Fighter, his only weapon is an axe. Even if you use an Master Seal on him, he remains an axe-wielder with the ability to use another weapon.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: He loves fighting. Really loves it.
  • Childhood Friends: With Chrom and Lissa.
  • Childhood Friend Romance: If he and Lissa marry
  • Dark-Skinned Blond
  • Determinator: No matter how many training sessions he loses, he's always ready to give it another go. 
  • Friendly Rival: Chrom's 
  • The Load: Briefly. He forgot to bring his axe with him in the first level he's available in. And despite Frederick being the only other member on the team who's capable of using an axe, nobody happens to have an spare one lying around. So, he's sidelined for an turn or two until Miriel joins the battle after finding his axe and then hands it to him. 
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: Played straight with his portrait, but zig-zags depending on his promotion route.

Ricken[]

Richt

The youngest member of the the Shepherds, he's practically their mascot. He acts and speaks like a child, but dislikes being treated as one. He's fond of Chrom, who protected him in the past.

Cquote1

 Class: Mage

Cquote2

Maribelle[]

Mariabel

A member of the Shepherds and Lissa's best friend. She is the child of an influential noble family within Ylisse. She acts proud and domineering, but is sweet to her friends.

Cquote1

 Class: Troubadour

Cquote2

Panne[]

Velvet Portrait

A beast warrior not tied to any kingdom. The last surviving member of the Taguel, a race able to shape-shift into rabbits. A cool woman with a strong sense of duty, she joins the Shepherds to repay Chrom's sister Emmeryn towards her.

Cquote1

 Class: Taguel

Cquote2

Virion[]

Viole

The Duke of Rosanne, a small nation in Valm. While he acts friendly, his words and actions make his grace and refinement somewhat clear.

Cquote1

 Class: Archer

Cquote2

  • The Archer
  • Chivalrous Pervert: He flirts around a lot, and according to Cherche he also sleeps around quite a bit, but he has pretty high standards about how women must be treated in general and would never EVER force anything on them.
  • Expy: He looks quite similar to Miles Edgeworth. But is very, VERY different personality-wise.
  • Fallen Prince: In the second part of the game, Rosanne is taken over by Walhart and his troops. This forces him and his retainer Cherche to seek refuge with the Ylisseans.
  • Ladykiller in Love: If paired up.
  • Princely Young Man: Of the Nice Guy kind.
  • Pyrrhic Victory: The reason why, despite being a skilled tactician, he never tries to take 's role. He gets too many of his men killed achieving any specific objective, as opposed to (And likely the players) reluctance to sacrifice so ch as a single unit.

Cordelia[]

Tiamo Portrait

A member of Ylisse's Pegasus squad. A close friend of Sumia since their childhood, she's a genius who carries out most tasks flawlessly. She hides feelings towards Chrom.

Cquote1

 Class: Pegasus Knight

Cquote2

  • The Ace: Is there something that Cordelia ISN'T good at? She can fight wonderfully, she also cooks really well, plays the harp skillfully, has lots of leadership skills...
  • A-Cup Angst: Comes up in her supports and her DLC talks with Tharja.
  • All Love Is Unrequited: This is actually enforced as it is totally impossible to pair her up with her crush, Chrom, leading to any man who course her being her Second Love
  • Blade on a Stick
  • Broken Ace: Cordelia actually has low-self esteem and does NOT like being treated like a genius or a heroine. She also was bullied a lot due being a Golden Girl of sorts among Pegasus Knights. Then all of her squadmates were killed, AND all of them (even her bullies) did their best to ensure her survival; when she shows up after that, she's in the middle of an Heroic BSOD over it.
  • Fiery Redhead: Nope, she's pretty calm and a bit of a Team Mom.
  • Hot Mom: Of Severa
  • Unrequited Tragic Maiden: Of Chrom, unless she marries.

Donnel[]

DonnyPortrait

A villager from Ylisse, and a common young man who likes plowing fields. He'll join the Shepherds if they help him liberate his village and he gains at least one level during the stage itself. Because he's never gone outside his village, he's interested in many things.

Cquote1

 Class: Villager

Cquote2

  • Blade on a Stick: His initial weapon. Weirdly, His class change options are Mercenary and Fighter, making his promoted options Hero, Warrior, and Bow Knight... and none of those weapons have lances as an option, meaning he has to discard his lance rank altogether.
  • Cooking Pot Helmet
  • Joke Item: Seen fighting with a Wooden Stick. Really. (Looks more like a log.)
  • Likes Older Women: Again, unless he marries Lissa or Maribelle or a young!Female Avatar.
  • Magikarp Power: He has pitiful starting stats but comes with the Aptitude skill, which increases ALL of his growth rates by 20% with no penalty.
  • Memetic Outfit: Donny's pot-hat is quite popular among photoshoppers.

Gaius[]

Gaia

A thief living in Ylisse. Calm, composed and able, he'll basically do any job if the price is right - unless it involves murder. Loves free sweets and has candies hidden all over his body.

Cquote1

 Class: Thief

Cquote2

  • Cool Sword
  • Fiery Redhead: Averted, he's coolheaded and snarky instead.
  • Everyone has Standards: He would rob anyone, but he won't kill innocents. In fact, he was hired by Validar to break into the Ylisstol Palace, but was horrified when he learned that the actual mission of the group was to assassinate Emmeryn. Which is why he can be recruited into Chrom's army, shall Chrom approach him.
  • Hurricane of Puns: All of his Japanese battle quotes use the word, "amai." This word means both sweet (as in taste, since he loves candy) and also describes someone who isn't trying very hard (so, it's used a lot in taunts which mean something like "Is that all?" or "You should've tried harder!").
    • It's not AS present in the Western versions, but still there. "What a cupcake", anyone?
  • Life Drain: He can potentially get the Sol skill.
  • Knight in Sour Armor: He is cynical, snarky, very aware of how dark the world can be... but he still has a kind heart underneath.
  • The Nicknamer: In the Western version, he calls almost everyone by nicknames: Blue (Chrom), Bubbles (Avatar), Princess (Lissa), Stumbles (Sumia), etc.
  • One-Hit Kill: Can learn Lethality.
  • Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: If paired with people like Lissa, Nowi, and especially Sumia.
  • Sweet Tooth: Up to Eleven. This man is OBSESSED with candy and any sweets. In fact, a bag of candy that Chrom dropped in front of him was vital in his recruitment!

Tharja[]

Sariya Kakusei

A sorceress from Plegia. She doesn't really care about the feud between Plegia and Ylisse (though she hated Gangrel and defected as soon as she could) and is often chanting suspicious curses when she's alone.

Cquote1

 Class: Dark Mage

Cquote2

  • Abusive Parents: Zig-zagged in the Bad Future. She's said to have become extremely unhinged later in life and especially after her husband died, using Noire as her test subject for her curses (and neglecting Morgan if she's her mother)... but when Noire was in direct danger, she immediately chose her daughter's life over her own. The present Tharja is starting to show similar red flags, but it's implied in Noire's ending that she eventually drops it altogether.
  • Black Magician Girl - Lady of Black Magic
  • Blood Knight: She laughs when using her skill or getting a Critical.
  • Curse: As her description states, she enjoys practicing these when left to her own devices.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: She's a huge jerk, she can be even quite cruel to people sometimes... and yet she isn't devoid of a heart.
  • Depraved Bisexual: She has feelings for the Avatar no matter their gender, but she has other potential partners too. She's also a creepy Yandere.
  • Everyone Has Standards: For all of her jerkassery, Tharja despises Gangrel and considers him unfit for ruling. Which is why she wants to get the Hell away from him and his troops.
  • Hot Mom: Of Noire.
  • Hot Witch: According to her supports and some comics, she also engages in traditional witchcraft stuff like curses, using a Crystal Ball to see the future, making amulets, etc.
  • Maternally Challenged: Even before things took a turn for the worse in the Bad Future, she clearly isn't the most nurturing parent in general. While she does realize her alternate self's mistakes and stop using Noire as a guinea pig before it gets out of hand, she struggles to relate to Female Morgan if she's her mother, seeming befuddled and irritated by her quirks.
  • Reluctant Fanservice Girl: Surprisingly. Her outfit may be Stripperiffic, but she wore it mostly because it's the standard for Dark Mages. In her portrait, she's seen awkwardly covering herself with her arms and her spell book.
  • Stalker with a Crush: Her relationship with the Avatar, whether male or female. Even if a Male one marries her, she keeps some elements of this with him.
  • Stripperiffic: Her outfit doesn't leave lots to the imagination, though her portrait happens to have her tome and arms blocking most of her outfit.
  • Yandere: Both her Japanese and her Western confessions to the Male Avatar have her threatening him if he betrays her feelings. Of course, this made her a Fetish Fuel Station Attendant to many fans... and not just guys either.

Nowi[]

Nono Kakusei

A rather young looking dragon girl. Has led a lonely life, but she does her best to remain optimistic despite all the crap she's seen.

Cquote1

 Class: Manakete

Cquote2

  • Absurdly Youthful Mother/Hot Mom: Of Nah. YMMV on the youth, since her race ages at a different pace than humans.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Has more than a few elements of this.
  • Genki Girl: Treated more realistically than usual. Nowi is VERY aware of how she'll outlive anyone she loves. with the exception of a half-dragon child of hers (like Nah or a Female Morgan mothered by her), but she decides to live her life at the fullest anyway so she won't lose time mourning.
  • Hair of Gold
  • Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons: With the aid of a Dragonstone she can take on her Dragon form, allowing her to beat the crap out of most enemies with ease.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: As shown in her supports with Nah, she's not as naive as she seems.
  • Really 700 Years Old: She is a dragon after all.

Gregor[]

Grego Portrait

A Mercenary that shows up with Nowi, having rescued her from slavers.

Cquote1

  Class: Mercenary

Cquote2

  • Chivalrous Pervert: He often teases the girls he can support with, but never forces them into anything and always tries to help them when they need it.
  • Cool Old Guy: The closest to this in the Army.
  • Cool Sword
  • Due to the Dead: The reason why he talks in the third person is because his brother died an tragic death and he doesn't want his legacy to be forgotten, so he took up his brother's name. 
  • Fiery Redhead: Boisterous Bruiser version
  • Old Master - Old Soldier: He's old enough to be Chrom's uncle, and seems to be in either his 40's or maybe even close to his 50's, but he doesn't let his age stop him from being an mercenary. In fact, his age only contributes to his skill with an sword; which he notably uses to best the muck younger and also quite skilled Lon'qu in an duel.
  • Third Person Person: He's prone to saying stuff like,"Gregor is on job!" 
  • You no take Candle: Part of the reason why his grammar is weird is because he isn't from Ylisse or Plegia. It's never said WHERE he's from, tho. 


Libra[]

Libera

A priest who has... kinda become infamous among fans. He's a member of the Ylissean clergy with an unearthly beauty and a kind, but wounded heart.

Cquote1

 Class: War Monk

Cquote2

  • An Axe to Grind: Like Lissa, he can use Axes as a War Monk
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Expanded in his and Tharja's support conversations. As a young boy he used to attract spirits, which terrified his parents to the point that they abandoned him. He spend quite some time as a Street Urchin until he was taken in by the clergy.
  • Dropped a Bridget On Him: Barely averted by Chrom in his introduction, but played straight in his supports with Virion. (And off-screen, in Fire Emblem: Heroes)
  • Dude Looks Like a Lady: And sounds like one too!
  • Expy: An androgynous Monk who is often mistaken for a girl? Now where have I heard that before... But this time it's even more convincing due to the addition of voice acting.
  • Even the Guys Want Him / Stupid Sexy Flanders: Even after he tells Virion he's a man, Virion continues to flatter him for his looks and tells Libra he's "like a rose". Libra thinks he's funny, but Virion has to remind himself that Libra's still a dude.
    • In his solo ending, it's said that both women AND men proposed to him.
  • Hair of Gold: One of the kindest charas in the cast, and a blond.
  • Hidden Depths: He's a very talented artist.
  • Magic Knight: If reclassed into Sage or Dark Knight
  • Orphanage of Love: He builds one whether he marries or not.
  • Sexy Priest: And how.
  • Sole Survivor: He shows up with a bunch of fellow War Monks to try rescuing Emmeryn from Gangrel, and all of them but him are killed. And if the player doesn't act fast, he may also be slaughtered.
  • Stepford Smiler: According to Tharja, this Nice Guy's inner darkness is stronger than hers.
  • Vocal Dissonance: As mentioned above, he has a very feminine voice.
     

Anna[]

Anna13Portrait

The mysterious traveling merchant. As one would expect from a merchant, she's friendly and polite. She loves gold and rich customers. She's actually one among many Anna's in the game that inculdes her, Otherworld guide Anna and traveling merchant Anna.

Tropes about Awakening Anna go here, while tropes about Anna generally go on the general Fire Emblem characters section, and each playable Anna will have her own section in each game's Character Sheet.

Cquote1

 Class: Trickster

Cquote2

Olivia[]

Olivia Kakusei

A dancer from Regna Ferox, and the ward of Khan Basilio. She dreams of opening her own theatre.

Cquote1

  Class: Dancer

Cquote2

  • Birds of a Feather: Claims to be this with Lon'qu, since both of them are awkward as Hell with people.
    • Surprisingly, she and Chrom play it straight in their supports.
  • The Chick: The biggest example among the first generation girls.
  • Cool Sword: She uses swords as her weapon. Her high Skill will also help out to give 'em a good use.
  • Happily Adopted: She is the closest to a princess that Regna Ferox has, as the adoptive daughter of Khan Basilio.
  • Hot Mom: Of Inigo, and maybe Female Morgan or Lucina.
  • I Have You Now, My Pretty: As a youngster, Olivia almost was at the receiving end of this when a nobleman was taken by her beauty and wanted her as his mistress. Basilio rescued her and then took her in as his adoptive child.
  • Last Girl Wins: If paired with Chrom, since she can marry him right in the chapter when she appears. It's not as hard as it sounds, however: as long as the player hasn't unlocked Chrom's other romantic supports, it's possible to pair them up with a bit of work and patience.
  • Love at First Sight: If she and Chrom hook up, well. . .
  • Stripperiffic: She seems to be wearing scarves and a leotard.
  • Shrinking Violet: She's extremely shy and awkward when she's not dancing, leading her to either shrink away from people or yell at them if she's too anxious.
  • Sweet Tooth: She loves, loves, LOOOOVES sweets. ie. she's the beta tester for Gaius' pastries, and when Kellam brings her honey she makes rock candy with it.
  • Weak but Skilled: She's NOT a frontline fighter, logically, but as said above she has nice Skill growths that will help her get Critical Hits frequently. Plus she's invaluable in the battlefield thanks to her Magic Dance.

Cherche[]

Serge Kakusei

A beautiful, serious Dragon Rider who used to serve Virion's family. She follows him willingly when Rosanne falls and he seeks help with the Ylisseans.

Cquote1

Henry[]

Henry

Another Dark Mage hailing from Plegia. he joins Chrom's army because they get in lots of fights.

Cquote1

 Class: Dark Mage

Cquote2

  • Beware the Silly Ones: "Oh, don't let the joking fool you. I've kind of got a thing for killing."
  • Boarding School of Horrors: Where he learned magic, in the Western versions. Implied to be why he turned out so... unhinged.
  • Blood Knight: He joins Chrom because he loves war.
  • Curse: His supports with Sumia indicate that he's also a practitioner. The only one who rivals him in this is the other DM in the cast, Tharja.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Henry was badly neglected by his parents and townspeople, and his first actual friend was a wolf. However, said wolf was killed off in front of him, and that brought his Black Mage powers to the surface...
  • Dark Is Bad: While not actually evil, Henry is more malicious then the other main characters. But he seems to be oblivious to this, due to his... tragic past.
  • Dangerously Genre Savvy: Non-villanious example, he joins because he somehow knows he'll be able to fight more if he's with Chrom's party than with Plegia.
  • Dissonant Serenity: It takes a special kind of insanity to be smiling whilst telling the person you hope includes you in his army that if he doesn't want you he can just kill you on the spot.
  • Eyes Always Shut: Even during his Confession! When he's nervous, though, he'll open his eyes. They're grey.
  • The Hyena: He tends to giggle quite a lot. Even his victory pose shows him laughing.
  • Nice Guy: Surprisingly, he can be this! He's mostly "bad" because his past gave him a Blue and Orange Morality, but he does like helping people even if his methods are,.. less than ideal.
  • Orphanage of Fear: Was raised in one in the Japanese version. Again, implied to be why he turned out so... unhinged.
  • The Pollyanna: Revealed in supports.
  • Stepford Smiler: Again, revealed in support conversations.
  • Too Kinky to Torture: When he's defeated in battle, he says, "It hurts. So nice!".
  • The Unexpected: Would you believe Henry can reclass into a bandit? This is most likely due to his Blood Knight nature, it's certainly not his build.

Sayri[]

Say'riportrait

The princess of a small nation in Valm, Chon'sin. She seems different from the Ylissean and has an old-fashioned look. She adored her brother Yen'fay, but is currently his enemy for some reason. He gave himself and Chon'sin up in exchange for her life and safety.

Cquote1

 Class: Swordmaster

Cquote2

Tiki (Chiki)[]

Tikiportrait

A divine dragon from the era of legends. She is revered as the "Divine Dragon Priestess" in Valm. Although usually calm, her "little girl" side slips out on rare occasions.


For Tiki's general tropes, see her section here.

  • Hot Mom: Of Female Morgan, if romanced by a Male Avatar.
  • Lady in Red: Looks-wise, though not so much in personality.
  • Older and Wiser: Still kind and gentle, but less naive than before.
  • She Is All Grown Up: The Tiki of the Akaneia games was a little girl. This one looks and acts like an older teenager or even a young adult.

Lucina[]

Lucina portrait normal

The leader of the Children, plus Chrom's daughter - whom he can father with either: the Female Avatar, Sumia, Sully, Maribelle, Olivia, or a nameless Village Maiden if he doesn't get paired up in-game. A beautiful girl with a flawless swordmanship.

Owain

Lissa's son, He has a habit of speaking in an overly theatrical fashion that some people find tiresome to deal with.

Cquote1

 Class: Myrmidon

Cquote2

  • Cool Sword: He's a pretty skilled swordsman, and he wants to find a certain sword in his Paralogue.
  • Hot-Blooded: As HELL.
  • Kissing Cousins: Possible if paired with Lucina or a Chrom-fathered Kjelle or Cynthia

Brady

The son of Maribelle. Acts like a delinquent, but really does care for his comrades on the battlefield.

Cquote1

 Class: Priest

Cquote2

  • Gonk / Face of a Thug: Has the prominent brow typically used for thuggish bad guys. However Brady is actually a pretty chill dude.
  • Fragile Flower: It doesn't take a lot to make him cry, something that he is sometimes mocked for. He says he can't help it, he's sentimental.
  • Heroic Self-Deprecation: He really, really, REALLY hates that he isn't able to fight from the very start.
  • Japanese Delinquents: Looks and acts like one
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Less of an actual jerk, and more of a rather awkward guy with his heart in the right place.
  • White Magician Boy: Despite his scary appearance.

Kjelle[]

Dezel

Sully's daughter, She seems just as tomboyish (if not more so) as her mother.

Cquote1

 Class: Knight

Cquote2

  • All Amazons Want Hercules: She does NOT like the idea of being bested by guys, and if a dude wants to romance her... well, he better be ready to be as strong as she is.
  • Amazon Chaser: ... Fortunately for Kjelle, many of her potential boyfriends comment on how strong she is and some even beg her to train them. (Plus, Severa makes some comments about her abs...)
  • Blade on a Stick: Her initial weapon
  • Lethal Chef: As much as her mother.
  • Tomboy: The most overt example among the younger girls.

The daughter of Sumia. Is very cheerful and energetic.

Cquote1

 Class: Mercenary

Cquote2

Gerome[]

Gerome

The son of Cherche, he wears a mask near all the time. Serious, cynical and dependable.

Cquote1

 Class: Dragon Knight

Cquote2

  • An Axe to Grind
  • Black Knight: His armor, clothes and mask are all in black.
  • Broken Ace: On one hand he's implied to be the strongest fighter among the children, plus he's good at near everything he does (animal taming, sewing, armor/mask making, etc.). On the other he's deeply cynical, awkward, and among those who took the deaths of their parents the worst.
  • Char Clone: Even more so that "Marth"! It's even possible to get him with blonde hair...
  • Cool Mask: Unlike "Marth" (whose mask he made) he has no real reason to wear one. It's implied to be due to his No Social Skills, though.
  • The Stoic: Tries to be this. It fails more often than not.

Morgan[]

Morgans

The Avatar's son or daughter, they are always the opposite gender to The Avatar. They dream of becoming a strategist

Cquote1

 Class: Same as other parent, Strategist if other parent was Lord, Dancer, or Overlord

Cquote2

  • Chick Magnet / Dude Magnet: Noticeable in that they sometimes perform romantic gestures before the S support.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: At times, he/she lacks common sense.
  • Daddy's Girl / Momma's Boy: Very, very, VERY attached to the Avatar, even when they also love their other parent (and their sibling, if they have one). Frighteningly invoked in a DLC stage, where they're still attached to the Avatar even after s/he has become Grima
  • Easy Amnesia: This kid lost his/her memories in the travel to the future. They may come from an alternate one, however...
  • Genki Girl: If Female
  • Keet: A borderline example, if Male
  • Motor Mouth: At times, especially Female Morgan

Yarne[]

Yarne

Cquote2

Laurent[]

The son of Miriel. He is cold and callous like his mother, but has a soft side to him as well.

Cquote1

 Class: Mage

Cquote2

Noire[]

Noire

The daughter of Tharja. Is shy, but ready to protect people with her bow at the slightest provocation.

Cquote1

 Class: Archer

Cquote2

  • Abusive Parents: The Future Tharja was, simply put, way too screwed up in the head to be a decent parent to her (and potentially, Morgan). The one from the present is starting to show similar red flags, and Noire's supports with her have the girl confronting her future mother on such things so she will get her to stop before things go downhill between the two.
  • A-Cup Angst: Subverted, actually. She worries in some supports about not being too busty, but following her artwork and her game model, she's actually VERY well-stacked.
  • The Archer: And she's implied to be a natural prodigy at using bow and arrows. And Black Magic, but Future Tharja never taught her how to use it.
  • Cowardly Lion - Silk Hiding Steel: Noire is maybe the frailest of the future children, but she clearly knows that she can't afford to run away and thus she doesn't back off from fighting even when she REALLY wants to.
  • The Eeyore: She's not a very happy person, due to her upbringing.
  • Ill Girl: She's anemiac and prone to be out of breath in her supports.
  • Morality Pet: Is the one person whom Severa is never mean to.
  • Nervous Wreck: She's quite neurotic, thanks to living in fear.
  • Split Personality: The girl can go from a Shrinking Violet to a screaming Large Ham. It's because of the trauma she went through in the Bad Future plus being experimented on by her maddened mother.
  • Well Done Daughter Girl: Her supports with her mother has her partially seeking approval from her, as Tharja in the future was very cold towards Noire. (Their other theme is warning Tharja about her future self's... crooked behavior and get her to stop before it's too late.)
  • Yandere: Inherited a bit of this from her mother, as her S Support with Inigo has her shooting arrows at him to "protect him from other unwanted ladies". Subverted, she's implied to have faked it to teach Inigo a lesson about dating girls who could rob him.

Nah[]

Nah

The daughter of Nowi. She is a manakete as well, but acts more mature than her mother.

Cquote1

 Class: Manakete

Cquote1

 Class: Dark Flier

Cquote2

  • Absolute Cleavage: Takes the title of "most visible cleavage in the series" away from Sonia. That's sayin' something.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Revealed in her Paralogue, which takes places after Validar's defeat. She once was a simple girl with huge magical powers, but Validar killed her family and friends and then brainwashed her into believing that he had saved her from destitution.
  • The Dragon: To Gangrel, most likely. To Validar later on. Finally, to the deal Validar and to Grima itself - how the heck does she survive that long?
  • Evil Is Sexy
  • Lady Not-Appearing-In-This-Game: Played with. By appearing on the cover of the manual, she pretty much serves this role... except that she does appear in the game, and in a pretty significant role at that.
  • Magic Knight: One uses dark magic.
  • Unique Enemy: A Dark Flier who wields Dark Magic, thans to her unique Shadowgift ability. Which she can pass on to Female Morgan, if she's recruited AND marries a Male Avatar.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Validar, whom she believes to be her savior.
