Corrin also known as "The Avatar" is the leading main protagonist of the game.
Corrin was supposedly born to the Hoshidan royal family as the child of Mikoto and Hoshido's king Sumeragi. As a result, they are the younger half sibling of Ryoma and Hinoka and the older half sibling of Takumi and Sakura, whom are instead Sumeragi's children with his first wife Ikona. They were kidnapped as a young child and raised by the royal family of the neighboring kingdom of Nohr, gaining new siblings in the form of Xander, Camilla, Leo, and Elise. Unlike previous protagonists, Corrin has the ability to transform into a dragon, a similar trait to Manakete from past games of the series. They only gain the ability to transform after Chapter 5. As a member of royalty, the Avatar can wield the power of Dragon Veins, allowing them to alter the terrain of a map.
A great war looms over Hoshido and Nohr and soon the two kingdoms meet on the battlefield. Corrin must choose to side with one of the kingdoms and help with their respective causes or be neutral in an attempt to combat a larger threat by joining the two kingdoms together. The Avatar has the services of Silas, Gunter, and Kaze, as well as Felicia, Flora, Jakob, and Lilith.
"Thinking back, it was hard. However, at the time, I never felt lonely. The servants were like family, and my brothers and sisters visited all the time. Elise came by to hang out every single day." |
"Is that Hinoka's pegasus over there? Hey there. You're a lucky one. You probably know this, but Hinoka is pretty great. She's strong and she's brave...and she's really determined. At the same time she's so kind and caring. You couldn't have asked for a better rider." |
"No. I'm certain. Thanks to you, I won't have to live with regret any longer. You've shown me that being an adult means being true to yourself. I love that about you...and I love you." |

"That'll be enough truth out of you, mister. You have to at least admit I'm getting better at handling the kettle, though. All I need to learn now is how to keep the tea from going bitter." |
"You don't have to apologize so much! I think I know what the problem is... You let other people intimidate you. Do you have any idea how that started?" |
"Yes. I feel the same as you. These feelings are unexpected, but also...beautiful. I'm glad you said something. I don't think I ever would have had the courage to. I know I still have much to learn, but I promise to try my hardest for you! I want nothing more than to be worthy of your love." |

Azura is the secondary protagonist in Fire Emblem Fates who plays a vital supporting role to the main protagonist, Corrin. She's a princess with deep ties to both Hoshido and Nohr. She was originally a Nohrian princess, but was abducted at a young age and grew up among the Hoshidan royal family. She is a talented singer whose songs are imbued with mystical powers. She is a close ally of her cousin, Corrin, and assisted them on their quest no matter what destiny they chose to follow.
Although she can get slightly emotional at times, Azura is kindhearted and surprisingly knowledgeable about many things, some of which others would not know about. This is namely information of Valla, her unique ability to manipulate water through the use of her necklace and a brief history about dragons and degeneration from her mother. Although she is more cynical and world-weary than Corrin, she shares their conviction in trying to make the world a better place and wanting to be with Corrin until the very end of the path to see peace. Normally neat and tidy, she has the worst cases of bed hair in the army and is a restless sleeper. She also has a weakness for cute things and enjoys telling scary stories.
"Corrin! I hoped to run into you. I'd like to hear more about your time in Nohr." |
"To be honest, I've been dwelling on some bad memories recently. It's been rough. For whatever reason, watching you do... what you do seems to cheer me up. You make me forget about my troubles and realize how silly it is to dwell on the past." |
"I also really, really enjoyed just talking with you all that time. I want to believe it was fate that you and I came together. Two people like us, with pasts so similar to each other... It could only have been meant to be." |

Felicia is a maid working for Corrin, serving their every need in the Kingdom of Nohr. She is also the younger twin sister of Flora and the youngest daughter of the Ice Tribe's chieftain, Kilma. Naturally, Felicia has some control over ice, but is not quite as proficient as Flora. However, her fighting skills are superior to her older sister's.
Like Flora, however, both are not actually domestic servants. She and Flora were actually kidnapped away from the village of the Ice tribe to be held hostage to prevent them from starting a violent insurrection. Felicia herself appears unaware of this, however; when Niles confronts her about it, she denies that she is a hostage. In Felicia's dialogue with Flora in the Nohr path, it's implied that Kilma and Flora deliberately kept Felicia in the dark.
Felicia has a warm, caring personality, especially towards Corrin. She is steadfastly loyal to them and readily follows them without a moment's hesitation, even fighting against her own tribesmen, her older sister Flora, and her father, Kilma. While typically sweet, she can get feisty if she feels like she is being talked down to, particularly in her supports with Subaki, Saizo and Takumi. Felicia is very clumsy and prone to making mistakes when performing her chores, much to her own embarrassment. Despite this, she strives to become a proper maid, like her sister Flora.
Despite her clumsiness as a maid, she is a natural fighting prodigy, being more experienced than her sister Flora. This is due part to her natural skill, along with some training from Gunter. This experience is highlighted in her supports with Peri, where Peri asks her to train the servants at her mansion when she successfully defends herself from her attacks. Felicia feels that her combat skills are the only thing that stops her from being completely worthless to Corrin.
"I got it— Hang on— Whoops, almost— Aaaaaaaaah!" |
"Fine. If you're not going to be open with me, then I'll be open with you! You're my role model, Flora. I look up to you more than anyone else. You've always been there to comfort and to guide me, even in the worst of times. And you've always done the things I can't with such ease. You're incredible. And I'm glad to have you as my sister. But there is one thing about you that I've never been able to figure out. After a battle, or a sparring session... you always seem so upset with me. I have no idea why. I just wish you would tell me. Why must you try to hide it?" |
"A long time now... But it's OK. You don't have to say anything. I know my feelings are forbidden. A prince cannot marry a maid. Royal marriages are too important for love to determine... Not that you DO love me. So, please...just forget what I said." |

Jakob is a butler who serves Corrin in the Kingdom of Nohr. Although born into aristocracy, Jakob lost connections with both of his parents, a fact that, according to his supports with Azura, stems from them never loving him, never forging happy memories with him, and eventually abandoning him. Electing to follow Corrin regardless of the choice that they make, Jakob attributes this to the kindness and compassion that they displayed towards him when he was alienated during his induction into the service of the Nohrian royalty, keeping him around despite his initial blunders.
Jakob is a dutiful butler who serves Corrin. On top of being great at housework and other chores, he is an excellent fighter. According to his supports with Azura however, this was not always the case. It was because of Corrin's strong belief in him that he continued to remain in services. He is dutiful, kind, and courteous to Corrin when speaking to them. He has an undying loyalty towards them to the point he ends up getting into a verbal spat for Corrin's caretaking in his support chain with Camilla and even gets into a verbal battle with Frederick in the Before Awakening Xenologue on who serves their Lord/Lady better as a butler. Jakob's devotion is so strong that he, against his better judgement, aids Takumi in very dangerous archery practice just because refusing might disappoint Corrin.
However, around other members of the army he can be rather unsociable, speaking very rudely and bluntly to them. He sometimes speaks to others purely for the sake of making fun of them as shown in his support conversations with Silas. He can be petty, enough so that he becomes upset that his own son brews coffee better than he can and repeatedly challenges him until he can produce superior coffee. Nonetheless, he still helps others when needed as part of his duty as Corrin's butler. He hates mornings the most out of everyone in the army.
"Too slow! Much too slow, Felicia! You can't afford to be so careful. The tea is going cold!" |
"Hm. In any case, it seems you have a few misconceptions about me. You should know I am very, very bad at keeping secrets. Even small ones. Granted, I will happily keep all of Lady Corrin's secrets until I die... But that courtesy is not extended to anyone else." |
"YES! ...I mean, if it pleases Your Ladysh— I mean yes, I would like nothing more than to be your husband." |
Voice Actor: Antony Del Rio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DFQXbO9eCc)
Silas is a fledgling Knight of the Kingdom of Nohr and child of a Nohrian noble family, having known Corrin since childhood and considers them his best friend. One day, Silas decided to bring the Avatar out of the Northern Fortress on a picnic. However, he was caught by the guards and was nearly executed if not for Corrin's strong opposition. Instead, he was banished from the fortress, but he never forgot his friend. Silas decided to enlist in the Nohrian army, knowing that it was the best way to meet his friend again.
Silas is a very easy-going and selfless young man, indiscriminately expressing a willingness to lend a helping hand to those in need. This fact can be derived across the vast majority of his supports; in his A-level support with Charlotte, for one, he insists on discussing the convoluted nature of her adolescence as a means to help her overcome the insecurities that are intrinsic to her personality. His supports with Jakob further sheds light on Silas' altruistic intentions, one that sees him revealing a stark discomfort at playing the role of confidant; when mocked for constantly seeking to aid others, Silas responds by admitting to feeling depressed when listening to their woes, owing to his inability to find the right advice to give them all the time.
Although he wants to help people better themselves, he can also be very opinionated and a surprisingly harsh critic, occasionally being insulting without intending to come across as such. His remarks about the various activities Kagero is doing in their Supports come across as vindictive (such as his comments about her art being "monstrous"), while his C Support with Hana has him technically insult her battle prowess by saying she was underwhelming and that Sakura deserves a better retainer. He claims that his oath as a knight means more to him than anything else, even his own life. The reason he's okay with defecting is because he took that oath for Corrin's sake, so not defecting would actually have broken it more. His supports with Oboro also mention him going out of his way to save enemy civilians, and his supports with Hinoka reveal he lets enemies who surrender flee.
He is utterly devoted to Corrin above all else. He spent years working his way into the Nohrian army to become a knight in order to be reunited with them, and is willing to betray his country just to stick by their side.
Despite Silas' love for rendering assistance to the needy, he only does so out of a steadfast loyalty to Corrin; depending on the path chosen by Corrin, Silas will only be able to provide support to those who pledge allegiance to their cause.
"Really, though... I wish you wouldn't worry about it. You remember now, and that's all that matters to me. My hard work paid off, didn't it? I became a castle knight, and here we are. I'm grateful for the chance to make up for lost time." |
"Ahhh...now that's a tasty apple. Ripened to perfection. Brimming with juice. Just the way I like it. Huh? That's weird. I'm positive I only packed one apple today. So why am I seeing double?!" |
"...In that case... I'll work harder at loving you than you could possibly imagine." |

Kaze is a ninja in the service of Ryoma. He and his older twin brother, Saizo, are members of a ninja clan from Igasato that has proudly served the Hoshidan royal family for several generations. Trained from a young age, Kaze became an exemplary ninja. Some time in their past, their father, Saizo the Fourth, was killed by Kotaro in an unexplained incident. His older brother became the new head of their clan, taking up the name Saizo. While Saizo was more vindictive in seeking retribution on his father's assailant, Kaze was more coolheaded. Still, Kaze pledged to support his brother to help him take down their father's killer.
When he was little, Kaze accompanied Sumeragi and his subordinates during the trip to Nohr. One night, he spotted several suspicious Nohrian soldiers who were attempting to assassinate Sumeragi. However, he did not know what they were going to do and did not report the incident. Consequently, Sumeragi was killed and Corrin was kidnapped. Since that night, he felt that if he reported them, he might have prevented the tragedy. As a result, he promised himself not to pledge loyalty until he serves the Avatar, and swore to protect the Avatar to repent for his mistake. Kaze believes Mikoto may have foreseen her child's return and arranged things so that Kaze could fulfill this pledge.
Unlike his more passionate, hot-blooded older twin brother, Kaze is much more cool-headed. No matter the situation, Kaze remains unfazed and calm, even in the face of danger or against some of the more abrasive members of the army. Kaze is also known to be deeply loyal to the people whom he respects. This is best evidenced through his relationship with Corrin, where, as a result of admiring their vision to reign peace upon the continent, he swears fealty to them and becomes their retainer in their A support conversation. On the Conquestroute, this fact is best exemplified through Kaze's radical decision to pledge his allegiance to Corrin upon learning of their idealistic vision, despite being well aware that he will be branded as a traitor by Hoshido.
In his supports with Corrin, it is revealed that Kaze is very popular with women. He often receives gifts from them, a fact that is usually a reciprocal gesture as a means to repay the favours that he performs for them. His popularity with women stems from his demeanour of politeness and benevolence, although he is blissfully unaware of the charms that he possesses. This lack of awareness over his charisma could be entirely attributed to Kaze's inclination to be humble; through his Private Quarters lines, it is revealed that he thinks rather poorly of himself, asserting that he is not very attractive and that he and his twin brother lack any resemblance. Kaze's display of humility over his personal attractions in turn lends credence to his bewildered obliviousness over his popularity with women.
"Now, to begin your ninjutsu training. You must learn how to move unseen. Stay in the shadows, and avoid the light. Try to get to that tree without being seen." |
"Is there something besides avenging Father? Besides protecting Lord Ryoma...? You have so much bloodlust. You don't fight our foes as much as slaughter them! What could cause my brother to mercilessly cut people down like a man possessed?" |
"I come from a long line of ninja that have always served the Hoshidan royalty... I was trained from an early age. If anyone should have understood, it was me. For such incompetence, I should have paid with my life. There's no way I can ever heal the suffering I've caused you and your birth family. I should not even be allowed to speak with you... I am so sorry, Lord Corrin." |

Mozu is a villager from Hoshido, who until the days war broke in had lived peacefully in a small village in the border between Hoshido and Nohr.
In her Paralogue, her village is attacked by the Faceless, killing everybody else. As Mozu and her mother nearly make it out of the village, her mother is killed by one of the Faceless and Mozu survives just because she managed to hide in the nearby woods. As luck would have it, she would be rescued by the Avatar and their army, who had been told about the attack and were looking for survivors. Faced with few options, since she is by herself and has nothing of value anymore, Mozu joins the Avatar's army, and strives to be useful to their cause and to make up for everyone else's sacrifice.
Often portrayed as a meek character with low self-confidence, Mozu is hesitant to attempt new things that she is not particularly adept in. Her supports depict her as such, where she requires the encouragement of her conversational partners in order to pick up skills that are useful to her on the battlefield. Her supports with Silas and Ryoma particularly support this fact, as both men offer to personally train her, to which she does not accept at first but eventually agrees in order to move on from her trauma, be of use to Corrin's army as a soldier and prove to herself that she does have courage. Otherwise however, her supports reveal her to be in possession of a blunt, unabashed personality in things she knows about, where she does not hesitate to point out the mistakes committed by others and their flaws. She is also one of few female characters in S supports who consistently and proactively ask for her love interest's hand in marriage.
In truth, she is actually physically robust. As revealed in her supports with Corrin, her life as a villager is one that demands her to engage in manual labor such as crop cultivation and animal hunting for sustenance and has grown surprisingly strong for someone of her age as a result. Not only that, Mozu has acquired, if not excelled in, a variety of skills and traits that has helped her throughout her life on the farm and still helps significantly as a member of Corrin's army. One of Mozu's more recognizable talents is cooking. When taking shifts in the Mess Hall, if she cooks food of a good quality, she will proudly mention that back home, the villagers often asked her to cook. Such talent is further confirmed through her supports with Saizo, where her cooking reminds him of the food native to his home village, stating that he prefers it over the heavier food commonly served in Shirasagi. Her hunting and trapping skills are also among the best in the army, as she hunted a bear single handedly from learning skills and tricks from an old man in her village prior to the Faceless attack and is capable of hunting boars alone.
Mozu is also known to possess a humble spirit, not valuing any wealth or luxuries and preferring a simplistic lifestyle as opposed to an extravagant one. This is made evident in her supports with Oboro where, in response to Oboro cheerfully remarking that her endearing appearance will be enhanced with the right clothes and makeup, she quietly states that they will not obscure the fact that she is, at heart, a country girl.
"I don't have any fancy fighting moves like the rest of you folks... And I'm no tactician, neither. So I want to help with the things I DO know how to do. And that's cooking..." |
"Well, I've had a lot of practice. You get used to it. But now I love it! You pour a little of yourself into the land and hope it gives something back. It doesn't always work out, but you gotta keep trying!" |
" *Sniffle* No, silly... These are the first happy tears I've ever cried. Thanks a whole lot, Lady Corrin. I can come visit you and all the other folks when I start to feel lonely?" |

Shura is a thief from Nohr who was born in the former country of Kohga. Shura had a relatively happy life in Kohga until the neighboring kingdom of Mokushu invaded, razing the country and killing many of its people. Shura was one of the few survivors and became a refugee. He sought to make a new life in Hoshido, but was denied entry and settled in Nohr instead. Because of Nohr's harsh conditions, Shura was driven to a life of crime to survive, and he eventually came to lead a gang of thieves. Shura was later hired by Yukimura to kidnap Azura from Nohr in retaliation for King Garon killing King Sumeragi and abducting Corrin. He is the best long-distance swimmer out of everyone in the army.
Despite his appearance and his job as a thief, Shura is surprisingly honourable and has good intentions for his actions. His supports with the male Corrin show that he attempted to rob them because he needed their gold to fulfill his dream of restoring his country. His honesty can be shown through his supports with Corrin, as he regrets killing innocent people for money but had to in order to survive.
With the female Corrin, he is often a "loner" in the army, eating away from the rest of the group. Because of his reputation as an outlaw, he is afraid that he would tarnish Corrin's reputation if people knew he was working with them. He feels that his past burdens him down. However, Corrin insists that he should talk with others, and at the end, he realizes that there are other people in the army with similar situations and promises to help Corrin whenever they need it.
Several of his quotes also demonstrate that he has very low self-esteem. In one of his Private Quarters quotes, he insists that Corrin deserves better company than him.
"It was. It was a beautiful, mountainous land, lush with greenery. And our people...they were so joyous—so cheerful. The laughter never truly ceased. In truth, it may not have been too different from other small countries... Nostalgia could easily have clouded my judgment in such matters. But for me it will always be an earthly paradise... one that must be restored at all costs." |
"Oh, just a thought. I think I might have been treating you like a child too, is all. It doesn't seem that long since you were still soiling your underclothes. And now, all of a sudden, you're making real, important contributions to the army." |
"In my dreams, you are there with me when I rebuild Kohga. In my dreams, we live the rest of our lives together, in peace. You see...I have fallen in love with you. And I dream you will return my love." |

Ryoma is the eldest son of Sumeragi and Ikona and the eldest child of four in the Hoshidan royal family. When Sumeragi married his second wife Mikoto, Ryoma helped the nation to warm up to the new queen by establishing a strong relationship with his new step-mother. Ryoma also recognised Mikoto's birth child, Corrin, as his new sibling. However, Ryoma lost this sibling when they were kidnapped as an infant and raised in Nohr.
In line with his position as the direct successor to the helm of Hoshido, Ryoma cuts a figure of calm collectedness, keenly scrupulous as he rigorously analyses the innumerable situations that he finds himself mired in before finalizing any decisions. This greatly contributes to this aura of charisma and wisdom that he is known to exude, one that sees many turning to him for his sagely advice in his support conversations. Adept in the art of war, this, combined with his shrewd sense of insight and intelligence, has helped Ryoma to lead the Hoshidan army to victory in the campaigns that they have participated in. Further complementing his astute skill as a battle tactician is that of his skill with the sword, one that is regarded to be unparalleled throughout the kingdom of Hoshido. In his spare time, Ryoma often meditates to keep himself calm.
Consequently, due to Ryoma seemingly appearing to be perfection incarnate, both his brother and son feel insecure and inferior to him. Despite this, Ryoma cares greatly for his siblings, having a strong bond with each of them. Despite not being his sister, he also is protective of Azura as well. Even Corrin is a person of great importance to him, even after years of separation and expresses nothing but joy in their reunion despite being the only one of the Hoshidan siblings to know that they are not his sibling by blood. However, his duty to his nation and his family can overrule these feelings if he believes that they have betrayed them, most notably in Conquestwhere he is lead to believe that they killed Hinoka. However, in Birthright and Revelation, he expresses complete confidence in Corrin leading their armies, being a wise consort to them during their campaign.
His undying will makes him the last one to give up out of everyone in the army.
"Sakura, are you OK? Why are you just sitting there? Did something happen?" |
"Indeed. The four of us had it made for you a long time ago. We vowed to give it to you upon our eventual reunion. And here you are, safely returned to us." |
"Wonderful. Camilla, for the good of both of our kingdoms... And for the glory of everlasting love, and the honor of holding your hand... I vow complete and undying dedication, along with—" |

Hinoka is the eldest daughter of Sumeragi and Ikona and the second child of four in the Hoshidan royal family. She originally had another sibling whom she was very much attached to. However, Hinoka lost this sibling when they were kidnapped as a young child and raised in Nohr. Furious at her inability to prevent the kidnapping, Hinoka thereafter began training as a Sky Knight around the age of seven. Her natural inclination to be rash and hotblooded often made training difficult for her, a fact only worsened by pegasi only accepting riders whose hearts are calm and not ruled by passion. As a result, she had trouble training her steed over the years, often running into accidents due to not being able to properly handle it. One of these accidents allowed her to meet Azama, who tended to her injuries and helped her to return home. Forming the impression that Azama was a kind and benevolent monk, Hinoka later hired him to serve as one of her personal retainers.
According to Hinoka, she had, over the years, attempted to infiltrate Nohr and rescue the Avatar on multiple occasions, although each attempt was halted by Ryoma and Mikoto.
Though born a princess, Hinoka's personality is nothing typical of one. Serious, determined, and unsophisticated, Hinoka has the spirit of a natural warrior and valiantly charges into battle with utter fearlessness and courage. This spirit of Hinoka's is strongly complemented by her passionate sense of patriotism, one that compels her to personally take up arms in order to defend her homeland and its people from coming under harm. In this regard, she has the tendency to charge headlong into battle with wild abandon, often disregarding her personal safety and the objections of others as she does so. She is known to overwork herself to the point of exhaustion as shown in her support with Hinata.
Ryoma and Hinoka herself note that in the past, she was much more shy and even a crybaby. However, Corrin's kidnapping proved to be a turning point both in her lifestyle and her personality, as their kidnapping was the source of much guilt and regret in her incapability to rescue them, being devoted into becoming a warrior for that sole reason. As a side effect, this caused her to be unintentionally yet considerably neglectful to Takumi, Sakuraand Azura, not spending a lot of time with them due to her constant training, as her supports are possibly the first real bonding time she's ever had with them, causing her to be stunned and regretful when she realizes that Takumi believes she wouldn't care if he died and Sakura thinks they are not alike at all. Despite that, she cares deeply for them, with her supports with Subaki telling that, in the midst of a heavy storm where pegasi couldn't fly, she charged into a forest to look for a lost Sakura with complete disregard for the risks involved.
It is through Hinoka's adamant desire to protect others that a softer side to her personality is simultaneously revealed; she is, at the core, selflessly compassionate, where she values the lives of others more than she does her own, no matter what their social class may be. This is especially evident in her supports with Azama, where, in spite of his protests, Hinoka desperately attempts to salvage the life of a fatally wounded soldier, unreservedly demanding him to lend his healing assistance to her.
She is the most caring person in the army, knowing plenty of soldiers by name and acts with consideration towards them.
"Yaaaaaaah! Hyah! ...Hmm? Is that you over there, Sakura?" |
"As a princess of Hoshido, I've always pushed myself to excel. I wanted to be able to support Ryoma and protect Corrin, so I worked hard. But after all you've said, I can see that I may have pushed myself too hard." |
"Corrin... I never dreamed this would happen. It makes all those days I spent planning how to rescue you all the more meaningful. I'm so glad that we feel the same..." |
Voice Actor: Roger Rose (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re_9tjEBZmY)
Takumi is the third child of four in the Hoshidan royal family, being the younger brother of Ryoma and Hinoka, the older brother of Sakura, and the second son of Sumeragi and Ikona. In addition, he is the stepson of Mikoto, the stepbrother of Corrin, and the adoptive brother of Azura.
In order to gain recognition for his strength, he has been tirelessly perfecting his practice of martial arts. Although not explicitly stated, Takumi does have some skill with the blade, but when he was humiliatingly crushed by Ryoma during a sparring match many years prior to the events of Fates, he chose to become an archer instead.
Constantly overshadowed by the talents of his older siblings, Takumi is thus, understandably, sometimes portrayed in a state of moody malcontent due to having developed a bit of an inferiority complex that he covers up, keenly desiring to receive recognition without being framed by the achievements of Ryoma and Hinoka. This fact alone serves as a strength and a flaw; on one hand, this has spurred Takumi to be immensely diligent in his austere efforts to upgrade his abilities, which have made him a very skilled archer. This fact is evident in his supports with Mozu, where he disproves her doubts over his farming capabilities by tirelessly engaging in manual labor on the field.
On the other hand, however, Takumi is known to be rather mentally weak due to the overwhelming inferiority complex that he harbors, a fact that is easily exploited and corrupted by Iago. The seething words of hatred that Takumi repeatedly utters while under the corruption's influence are very telling of the crushing inferiority that he feels, as they revolve around a desire to be stronger. His supports with several characters also highlight this; the conversations that he shares with Kiragi particularly exemplify this, where his immediate reaction to witnessing his son's stellar hunting skills at a tender young age is to experience jealousy at the possibility of him mastering the Fujin Yumi and eventually surpassing him. Unlike his clear sense of inferiority, he does not exhibit any sign of megalomania outside of this scene, which is why it is uncertain whether this something he really feels or simply brought on by Iago's manipulation.
Takumi does care for his siblings. He always look up to his elder brother, Ryoma and wanted to surpass him one day. He cares deeply for his younger sister, Sakura, and is willing to protect her from any harm. Even though they're in the middle of the war, he states that they cannot cancel the tradition Hoshidan banquet. Despite his care for his elder sister, Hinoka, he behaves harshly toward her when insisting that a wound of his is minor (which is actually quite serious), causing his sister's concern. However, he promises to never do it again, apologizing for lying to save his pride.
Takumi is also known to be a very cautious person, a fact that is proven throughout the Birthright route, where he is suspicious of anyone from Nohr. One such instance that clearly proves this fact is when Corrin makes the decision to allow Zola to accompany them to Nohr; refusing to place his trust in Zola, he makes it a point to remind Corrin of the Dark Mage's treacherous attempt to kill both them and Sakura previously. Despite this, Takumi is known to be rather amiable and friendly towards those who have gained his trust. This fact is best proven through his supports with Leo, where he initially treats the latter with cold arrogance, only warming up to him upon learning that they share similar aspirations. Despite his possible hate and distrust towards Nohr and its people, he has been shown to have an interest in their culture and history. This is shown in his supports with Elise, where she offers some books about Nohr and he seems relatively intrigued to read them.
Takumi has an interest in shogi, a fact that is mentioned during a conversation shared between him and Leo and one between Hisame and Kiragi. In Leo's case, their interests are almost the same; Takumi's interest in shogimirrors Leo's interest in chess, while his partiality for miso soup mirrors Leo's love for beef stew. He is also skilled with the katana, as shown with his supports with Hinata and Hana.
Takumi is said to have the worst dreams out of everyone in the army. This is most evident in his S-Support with Azura, where he has a nightmare about Queen Ikona's death.
"Muttering to yourself, Prince Leo? What's the matter, couldn't find anyone else willing to talk to you?" |
"Thanks, Ryoma. I guess I was worried over nothing. I thought if I wasn't the strongest warrior on the battlefield, I'd be worthless to you." |
"No. You're actually really talented. And as much as I hate to do this...I have to apologize. I've seen your dedication to Hoshido with my own two eyes. So, please forgive me for doubting you in the first place. I will gladly continue your training as soon as you're ready." |

Sakura is the youngest daughter of Sumeragi and Ikona, the younger step-sister of Corrin, and the youngest child of four in the Hoshidan royal family. According to Ryoma, shortly after her birth, her parents named her after a cherry blossom tree that bloomed beautifully every spring. Originally having another sibling in Corrin, Sakura lost them when they were kidnapped as a young child and raised in Nohr. Ill rumors had spread throughout the castle that Sakura was supposedly the original target, but Ryoma had denied these notions to her. Still, this event had an effect on her personality, making her meek and timid.
Shy and timid by nature, Sakura is very polite to others but is prone to stuttering during her conversations, a fact that becomes especially prominent when she is nervous. She tends to be very easily intimidated when confronted with unfamiliar situations existing outside her comfort zone. These traits of hers particularly stand out when she is compared alongside her older siblings, all of whom are relatively more confident, self-assured and sanguine. Complementing her shy demeanor is a heart of compassion and kindness, a fact that has led to her devoting her life towards the cause of providing healing aid to others in order to alleviate their suffering.
Sakura seems to suffer from survivor's guilt in regards to Corrin's abduction. In their A-Support conversation, she reveals to Corrin that shortly after their kidnapping; she overheard a couple of servants mention a rumor that she was supposed to be the actual target. Since she was extremely young when she heard this, she wasn't aware it was just a rumor and took it as fact, causing her to believe it was her fault her dear sibling was taken.
Hidden beneath the folds of Sakura's meekness is a strong will, one that emerges when she is tried by situations that threaten to endanger the lives of her loved ones. This fact is best exemplified through her actions in Chapter 25 on the Birthright route, where she stops Iago from ruining Azura's song to free Takumi from his spells and in Chapter 22 on the Conquest route; although she clearly possesses a disdain for warfare and harbors no desire to attack her sibling, she resolves to personally take up arms against them nevertheless for the sake of defending her homeland from their invasion. This applies out of battle as well, as she can be surprisingly fierce when pressured, snapping her staff in half with her bare hands out of pure frustration for Azama and even hitting him with it.
One curious quirk is her love of candy, which is to the point where she admits to have little self-control, as in her supports with Hayato she eats a large amount of red bean mochi with incredible speed, and the Beach Brawl DLC has her quickly change her mind about the contest when she learns the island has lots of sweets.
She is the best at healing out of everyone in the army.
"I wish I was more like you... Then you could be proud of me. I didn't mean to blurt all of that out! I'm sorry. I shouldn't have interrupted!" |
"I think that's a w-wonderful idea. Each song could be performed using instruments from each country. It would inspire our people to truly come together as one." |
"Since we're not siblings, we shouldn't hide our feelings anymore. It may be hard, but we'll cross that bridge together. I promise to protect you." |

Saizo is a ninja, an underling under direct command of Ryoma. Saizo forms the red-green duo with his brother, Kaze, despite not being cavaliers. His personality contrasts his brother; while Kaze is calm, Saizo is hot-blooded and quick to become incensed. He is a member of a ninja clan from Igasato that has proudly served the Hoshidan royal family for several generations. Their father, Saizo the Fourth, was killed by Kotaro in an unexplained incident. In truth, Saizo is not his birth name, but rather, the title he was given when he became the leader of his clan as a result of his father's death. At an unstated point of time, he travelled to Mokushu in search of his father's killer. Although he managed to locate the culprit, he failed to assassinate him and was instead captured by the Mokushujin. Presumably tortured during his captivity, Saizo barely managed to escape with a scar imprinted on his face and his right eye lost.
Similar to Kaze, Saizo is endowed with good looks that are considered attractive by women. Disliking the attention that his facial features can potentially attract, Saizo thus conceals his face with a mask.
In Saizo's supports with his fellow retainer Kagero, it is revealed that the pair were once lovers at one point in the past. However, as they were unable to reconcile their differences, they thus chose to give up their relationship and instead dedicate themselves to serving Hoshido.
"Hmph...took you long enough to notice. If this was the battlefield, you'd be dead." |
"I once infiltrated Mokushu, believing that they played a part in Father's death. And my suspicions were well founded. I came across evidence proving that the ninja of Mokushu assassinated him. But I failed to avenge myself upon his killer, losing my eye in the process.' |
"When I turned over command of our forces to you, I thought I knew the outcome. I had to lead the sneak attack, and I was sure you wouldn't lose any ground. I didn't expect both of us to reach the main objective at nearly the same moment." |
Voice Actress: Sarah Blandy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-B1GYYirtg)
Kagero is a kunoichi from a noble family who has served the Hoshidan royalty for generations. Originally one of Queen Mikoto's personal retainers, Kagero later became Ryoma's retainer at her liege's behest. According to her supports with the Avatar, her position was originally meant to be assumed by her older brother. However, due to him suffering from a disease that prevented him from executing the duties expected of a ninja, she thus made the decision to step forward and serve the Hoshidan royal family in his stead.
Kagero is predominantly defined by her fierce loyalty to Ryoma, where she will not hesitate to sacrifice herself in order to preserve his life. According to her supports with Kaze, this loyalty of hers sees her devoting the bulk of her time to training or fulfilling missions, leaving her with little time for leisure.
Compared to Saizo, however, the extent of her loyalty is comparatively less extreme; through her supports with him, she blandly chastises him for instilling unnecessary fear into the new recruits of the Hoshidan army by insisting that they be prepared to sacrifice their lives to protect their lieges.
Kagero often presents herself as a calm, confident individual, befitting of one who acts as a personal bodyguard of the Hoshidan high prince. This sense of collectedness is consistently maintained even when she is faced with tense situations. One such example may be observed in Kagero's B support with Takumi, where, in response to him demanding her to explain what is lacking in his sense of patience, she remains calm enough to carefully craft a reply without offending him.
Despite the serious demeanour that Kagero commonly presents, she is still able to form meaningful relationships with others and take up hobbies for amusement. Her supports with other characters often portray her as being receptive to conversation; through her supports with Rinkah, for one, she initiates conversation in a bid to strike up a friendship with her.
Kagero is also known to harbour an interest in painting, a fact that sees her spending much of her free time engaging in the art. Though she lacks the aptitude for painting, it is through this medium of art that she has established a steadfast friendship with Orochi, one that has remained strong since her childhood. Through their supports, it is evident that Orochi is the only known person to appreciate Kagero's eccentric style of art, to the point where she regards a card featuring a brook-and-water drawing as a symbol of their friendship. Though this is also shared by Odin, who admired Kagero's art of a silkwyrm as a stroke of genius in their supports, and attempted to summon it, with Kagero eager to help out, showing a desire to have her art come to life.
Kagero is said to be the best diary-keeper in the army.
"It would be an honor to...train with you. Normally, it would be unacceptable to cross blades with you, even in training. But I feel that if you'd make the exception, I could learn a lot from sparring with you." |
"When Lord Sumeragi married Lady Mikoto, it wasn't just the royal children affected. There were a large number of Hoshidans who felt uneasy about her becoming queen. Lord Ryoma saw this and took it upon himself to build a relationship with her." |
"It's... It's a bit embarrassing to hear you say that, really. Because it's true. It seems so obvious. So...now what? Are we past that hurdle now that we see the other's perspective? Did you bring this up as a way to suggest we get back together and try again?" |

Setsuna is a member of a noble family in Hoshido, She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, a fact that saw every one of her heart's desires fulfilled almost instantaneously. This fact alone has resulted in her feeling that her life lacks any sort of excitement. This feeling of Setsuna's was altered one day when she was accidentally caught in a hunting trap; despite the inconvenience, she derived much excitement in the event, and, according to her, it marked the first time in her life that she had ever felt alive. From this point onwards, Setsuna regularly gets herself caught in traps, although she often requires either Hinoka or Azama to free her from them.
Setsuna is a character who exudes an aura of calm and quiet, although this, contrary to being due to her being well-trained and disciplined, stems instead from her chronic absentmindedness and laziness. Her absentmindedness has, on multiple occasions, seen her blissfully walking into traps without once realising the danger that is presented to herself, the result of her daydreaming and losing focus of the path ahead of her. Even after being ensnared by traps, Setsuna is known to treat her predicament with bemused apathy, believing that Hinoka will always somehow manage to locate and rescue her from her plight.
Setsuna's absentmindedness has also helped her to develop a hilarious immunity to sarcasm, a fact that sees her often mistaking the insults of others for compliments. Her supports with Saizo particularly brings out this aspect of her character, where she manages to frustrate him by mistaking his insults for compliments. Ironically, it is this very absentmindedness that makes Setsuna proficient in battle. Neither bothered with the opinions others may harbor of her nor intimidated by her opponents, Setsuna is able to engage in battle very well, focusing solely on sniping her foes with deadly precision.
Despite these weaknesses in Setsuna's personality, she is not without her strengths; through her supports with Hinoka, Hana and even the sharp-tongued Azama, it can be observed that Setsuna is actually able to discipline herself when she is seized with the desire to master certain skills. She has demonstrated this through learning to cook with Hinoka and Azama, understanding the benefits of teamwork with Hana in practical settings, and learning to avoid traps altogether with male Corrin. She is also completely fearless, which enhances her performance in battle since no enemies ever scare her enough to lose her focus. Her loyalty to Hinoka is absolute, and she shows it refusing to abandon her after she's defeated in Conquest and saying that she'd rather die than acknlowedge the loss against Nohr.
Setsuna is said to be the most flexible and limber in the army.
"It wasn't until I'd been her retainer awhile that Lady Hinoka commented about me. Something about my listening skills. I believe it was a compliment. She's always giving me compliments." |
"I know, that was a big mistake... But I really think that we can do this if we focus and work together. We've always succeeded before. No matter where I am, you've found and rescued me from all kinds of traps. I feel like, if we're together, there is nothing we can't do. You just have to hang on to hope, Lady Hinoka." |
"Because, Lord Corrin... I love you. Sometime between the 5th and 50th time you saved me, I fell in love with you..." |

Azama is one of Hinoka's retainers, He is a priest with a barbed tongue that belies his seemingly well-mannered personality.
Azama is known to be the second son of a priest based in an unnamed shrine. Prior to the events of Fates, as a result of his ill behavior, he was forced to ascend a number of mountain ranges, during which he found penance and developed a calm, serene demeanor that is considered befitting of a priest. While meditating on one of these mountains one day, Azama encountered Hinoka, who had been injured due to unknown causes. This prompted him to heal her wounds to the best of his abilities before taking her to safety. Departing immediately after rejecting Hinoka's offer to reward him, Azama left the impression that he was a wise, selfless priest, a fact that later saw Hinoka deciding to hire him as one her direct subordinates.
Azama also possesses a powerful charm that he obtained from a holy deity during one of his meditations, although he is not able to use it for "entirely selfish" purposes.
Despite holding the position of a priest who is expected to represent the values of benevolence and compassion, Azama defies such expectations, as he adopts a demeanour of breezy apathy in his regard of others, heavily employing sardonic wit and dark humour in his speech. Indiscriminate in the disagreeable manner by which he treats people, Azama is known to delight in making biting remarks that induce pronounced discomfort, and even his liege and social superior Hinoka is not spared; through his supports with her, he reveals, albeit rather disturbingly, that her positively charming look of fury and frustration during their first meeting as she fought to preserve her life was what compelled him to rescue her.
Azama's sardonicism is deeply steepled in the realm of nihilism, where he airily considers life to be devoid of any meaning or purpose. Apart from him cheerfully remarking that "death comes for everyone" when he defeats an enemy unit, Azama's nihilistic inclinations are also best illustrated through his supports with various characters. His supports with Corrin is one such example, as he, after dismissively stating that death can be a sad affair, casually reveals his belief that he, alongside every other life form, is merely a manifestation of a larger conscience.
Taking up the art of meditating as a hobby, Azama enjoys retreating from the company of others and engaging in the act during his free time. Using meditation as a means of escapism to avoid the chaos of warfare, Azama is known to become irritable when he is interrupted in the practice, a fact that surfaces through his supports with Corrin.
Azama is the only one out of the whole army that never cries.
"Because you asked me to pick herbs in return! Imagine that—a holy man like me, picking herbs. A ridiculous notion! Besides, I clearly didn't need the help. I was probably taking pity on you." |
"He's one of the gods. I've been doing ascetic training up in the mountains for years now. My years of meditation and practice have made me something of a master. Let's just say that all that training has given me certain...abilities." |
"Deny it if you feel you must, but you know that it's true. I'm the only one here who's strong enough for you. Likewise, you're the only one here who's reckless and interesting enough for me. I don't know why it didn't occur to me before. We're a perfect match!" |

Hinata is one of Takumi's personal retainers, He is a Hoshidan Samurai and a coarse, passionate youth who is skilled with the Katana. Hinata hails from a family of samurai who have served the Hoshidan royalty for generations.
Cheerful and easy-going, Hinata is a passionate youth who takes pride in his skill with the blade. This can be observed through his supports with Corrin, where he takes offence at their suggestion that he has a reputation for relaxing more than he does training, thereafter seeking to prove the rumour wrong. Through this same set of supports, Hinata is also proven to be a person who prefers proving his worth through action and not words. This fact can be gleaned from him challenging Corrin to a sparring match to prove his mettle in combat.
Hinata has also been revealed to enjoy lending a helping hand or a listening ear to those in need. Across a good number of his supports, he is known to take the initiative to ask after a person's well-being after he perceives them to be in a troubled frame of mind. One such example can be observed through his supports with Felicia, where he immediately expresses concern for her when she heaves a sigh of frustration.
Hinata is also known to harbour a weakness against women, particularly those whom he considers beautiful. This weakness of his has caused him to be the willing victim of women who seduce him into giving up both his wealth and material possessions. This fact is revealed through his supports with Mozu, where he reveals that the lady proprietor of a provisions store has duped him into making purchases of more supplies than the army actually requires. Thankfully, Hinata's weakness to beautiful women does not extend to his skill in battle, where he has no qualms about taking up his sword against female opponents.
"Ahaha... I see... I wonder who's spreading rumors about me... I'll just have to work my butt off to prove this rumormonger wrong!" |
"We're going a little overboard here, huh? How about instead, we do some training so we can better serve Lord Takumi?" |
"Yeah. I remembered how happy you looked while you were cheering me on last time. I gave it all I had so I could make you proud! Since you couldn't fight, I figured the next best thing was watching me win!" |

Oboro is one of Takumi's personal retainers, She is a Hoshidan Spear Fighter who bears an unquenchable thirst for vengeance against Nohr for the death of her parents.
Oboro's family once owned a well-known kimono shop that bore strong connections to the royal family of Hoshido. These connections proved to be fatal to her parents, as the political and economic influence that they gained caused them to attract the attention of Nohr, resulting in them being ambushed and killed by a Nohrian assassin when they were en route to Nohr on a business trip. Oboro survived by hiding in a cart, and she was thereafter taken in by relatives who worked directly for the Hoshidan nobility. Through this connection, Oboro eventually learned how to wield the Naginata, thereafter enlisting as a soldier in the Hoshidan army. Some time after her enlistment, Oboro was appointed as one of Prince Takumi's personal retainers. She is the quickest in changing clothes.
Oboro harbors a chronic hatred of Nohr, a fact that stems from the murder of her parents by the hands of Nohrian assassins. This resulted in an involuntary tic that causes her to twist her face into a demonic visage whenever anything related to Nohr is mentioned or shown in her presence. Despite her hatred for Nohrians, Oboro is capable of controlling herself from killing them depending on circumstance; through her C support with Silas, she declines his offer to train with him, attributing her refusal to her not wanting to kill him by accident. Even when she finds out that her parents' murderer was already dead at the hands of Beruka's mentor years ago, she is still capable of reason rather than blind rage, knowing that the chain of hate always ends in tragedy. That said, Oboro is not without the sense to understand that not all Nohrians are evil, like her supports with Niles and Benny, and can clearly tell the difference enough to make civilized conversation and establish friendships and romances with a number of them.
Oboro copes with the loss of her beloved parents through her involvement with the Hoshidan army, a fact that has led to her sharing very strong, tenacious bonds with many members of the army. In particular, she is especially attached to her liege, Takumi, having romantic feelings for him, but is too shy to admit them to him. When dying in Conquest, she even laments that she never revealed her feelings to him. This does not equal to her ignoring the rest of the army, however, as she is often seen taking a mother-like role to them: she can recruit Kaze's help to make sure there will be no mice near their supplies, teach Rinkah to eat less messily, ask Kaden for collaboration to braid silk threads into cords, check on Ryoma's health and specially his sleeping habits, etc.
As the daughter of Hoshidan tailors, Oboro is an expert fashionista and is shown tailoring to other members of the army through her supports. Her fascination with fashion does have the tendency to be excessive to the point of being forceful, if not relentless, into having her way; this fact can be observed through her supports with Saizoand Mozu, where she persists on crafting newer and flashy clothes for the two to wear despite numerous protests and having to chase them both down in the C-Support and B-Support conversations of both people. However, she does mean well, as it can be observed through her a few of her Heroes quotes and in her A-Support with Mozu that she firmly believes that no matter how much people put on makeup and clothes, it is the inside that matters.
"All right, here goes. I was passing by the weapon shop in town and saw a set of heavy, black armor. Seeing it reminded me of Nohr, which made me grimace." |
"I'm so sorry, Lord Takumi. This is totally my fault! And I count myself lucky to have a master like you... But when you're this nice to me, it makes it hard to control my feelings for you. I don't think I'll be a very good retainer as long as I can't hide them." |
"You're just getting it now? I love you, Lord Corrin. You've always watched over me and helped me when I needed it. Now that I've put the traumas of my past behind me... I want to help you as you've helped me, Lord Corrin." |
Voice Actress: Karen Strassman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPV6Asi7bcc)
Hana is Sakura's best friend since childhood and acts as one of her personal bodyguards. Hana is also a distant relative of the Hoshido royal family, fathered by a renowned samurai who once served King Sumeragi with the utmost loyalty. His loyalty never wavered even when faced with death, a fact that serves as a source of inspiration for Hana to follow in his footsteps.
Hana spent much of her younger years undergoing a strict training regimen, one that primarily revolves around her sneakily taking part in soldier practice sessions and practicing on her own in open fields. Hana's attention to her training is recognized by Sakura, who remarks that she is far more devoted and disciplined than most enlisted soldiers are. Even before becoming Sakura's retainer, Hana often took it upon herself to protect her, a fact that saw her sustaining injuries regularly. The strong bond of friendship shared between Hana and Sakura is what eventually motivated Sakura into naming Hana as one of her retainers with no hesitation, even in the face of opposition by ministers who belittled her friend.
Depicted as the stereotypical tomboy, Hana has a terrible sense of self-restraint. This is evidenced through her first appearance on the Birthright route, where she is observed to argue heatedly with Subaki over who "Sakura's best subordinate" is. Hana cares a great deal about Sakura, even holding some resentment for Corrin because their kidnapping caused a great deal of sadness to Sakura. However, she later apologizes to them because it was not by their choice that they were kidnapped. However, in the Conquest route, Hana viciously blames Corrin of being the cause of Sakura's endless crying and sadness and attempts to kill them so they won't hurt Sakura again, but fails.
Though a tomboy, Hana still loves cute and girly things, which can be seen in her supports with Hayato. When he receives a bunch of childish and girly gifts from his caretakers in the Wind Tribe, Hana gladly offers to take them off his hands.
Although Hana is considered to be one of the best samurai in all of Hoshido, she does not boast about it; instead, she ensures that she never misses a single day of training. As shown in her supports, she takes training extremely seriously up to breaking point and near-obsession as her supports with Kaze shows her trying to carry a huge supply of vegetables across a wide open field, her supports with Kaden demonstrates her near-obsessive nature towards training, her support with Hinata, who offers sparring matches against her to prove his mettle in combat and her supports with Effie has her attempting (but miserably failing) to adapt to the latter's training regime to match Effie's unnatural strength. This is due at least in part due to the fact that though she is a retainer to Sakura, she is also a noblewoman in her own right, descended in a long line of samurai who have served the Hoshidan royal family.
Hana is also known to have a very odd sense of taste; in her C support with Saizo, he gives her a manjuu, which according to Saizo are not meant to taste particularly nice, and Hana comments on how great it tastes, much to Saizo's confusion.
Hana enjoys cherry blossoms the most.
"OK, then. If you're perfect, why is it that you fell off your mount when we first met? You did it right in front of me and Lady Sakura—it was actually pretty hilarious. I didn't know it was possible to fly that far from a stationary horse." |
"The stories of my father's accomplishments fill me with pride... He passed from this world while he was protecting the king. But even in death he fulfilled his purpose— his devotion to the king symbolized his life. For a samurai, to die in service is really the best possible death." |
"Haha, you don't need to worry about that! I wear these scars with pride! To a samurai, injuries in service are like badges of honor. Each one means that I've done my job well and protected you from danger!" |

Subaki is one of Sakura's personal retainers, Subaki seeks perfection in all that he does in order to uphold the legacy of his family.
Subaki was born into a family belonging to the upper echelons of Hoshido, one that is renowned for having served the royal family for generations. Following the footsteps of his ancestors, Subaki is thus instated as one of Princess Sakura's personal retainers.
Subaki is a self-professed perfectionist, a fact that primarily stems from the legacy of his family's traditions, ones that have conditioned him to strive towards achieving perfection in all that he does. As a result of this, Subaki is known to be very demanding and even unforgiving towards himself as he works tirelessly to meet the harsh expectations that he sets for himself. This has in turn caused him to have the tendency to engage in self-reproach whenever he commits "offences" that he feels make him appear weak and imperfect in the eyes of others. During such occurrences, Subaki is known to lapse into a state of flustered distress as he attempts to rectify his shortcomings.
In spite of the excessive nature of his hardworking spirit, Subaki never draws attention to himself, choosing instead to hide his efforts from the notice of others. As a result of the attitude and behavior that he adopts towards others, Subaki can come across as being more obnoxious and arrogant than he actually is.
He has the cleanest hands in the army.
"I've always been able to avoid failure in every task. This is an obvious sign that my focus is beginning to slip! Lord Corrin. May we postpone our sparring session? I need to redouble my efforts. Farewell!" |
"It's true. Mere moments ago, I heard one of the troops speaking about you. They admired your graceful fighting style and close relationship with your pegasus. I'm sure none of this comes as much of a surprise to you. I think you're remarkable too." |
"Hahaha, it's OK. I'm extremely grateful that you did. Those values were a source of pride. I didn't think I'd forget them so easily. And yet...when I'm with you...I want to show you my perfect side... and my not-so-perfect side." |

Hayato is an orphan from the Wind Tribe who was raised by their chief Fuga, Hayato is recognized as a magical prodigy.
Hayato was born into the Wind Tribe but was orphaned when his parents passed away during his childhood. Out of respect to the memory of Hayato's parents, their old friend Fuga thereafter decided to adopt him and raise him as his own child.
Owing to him being recognized as the most powerful Diviner in the Wind Tribe, Hayato thus desperately seeks to live up to his title, adopting a stiff, formal style of speech and attempting to conceal what he considers childish. As a result of this, he often comes across as being rather condescending and rude in his treatment of others, a fact that is reflected throughout a good number of supports that he shares with other characters. Hayato's snobbish attitude is, however, a mask for the adolescent form that continues to live within him, one that he accidentally makes known to the world from time to time. It is through the emergence of these childish tendencies that more dimensions to his personality can be observed.
For one, Hayato possesses an innate curiosity about the world around him, easily fascinated by things that are unfamiliar to him. His supports with Azura best exemplify this, where he, in a fit of excitement, informs her of his admiration for the vastness of the world outside of the Wind Tribe. He is also known to possess a sweet tooth, one that he deems to be disgraceful; through his supports with Sakura, he initially refuses her offer to share her mochi with him, only accepting when she comes up with the idea of pretending that he is helping her to finish them if they're asked about it.
Hayato has also been revealed to be an insecure person, possessing quite a few phobias that include the dark and the supernatural, one that are known to reduce him to tears due to him not being able to maintain a stable frame of mind when confronted with both. His supports with Azama is an example of this fact, where a tale that Azama shares of a ghost living in a closet is perceived to be terrifying enough to cause Hayato to break out into a peal of uncontrollable sobs. Hayato also detests appearing weak in front of others and failing to achieve success in his spellcasting. As shown in a Private Courters conversation, it shows he is afraid of the dark
Hayato is said to be the one who drinks the most milk in the army.
"Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to tell you. This paper contains a very special charm. I make them for people in the village. They can be used for all kinds of purposes. To provide protection, aid a harvest... Whatever you need, really." |
"I wish that were possible. But I can't help it if some things taste terrible to me. If you know a way to change that, please, I'm all ears! You're the only one who knows about my secret. Won't you help?" |
"Sakura, I feel so comfortable around you. We can both be ourselves. We don't have to worry so much about impressing anyone. Besides, I think you're very grown up... when you're not covered in icing! Whaddya say we snack our way through life together, one sticky bun after the next?" |

Rinkah is a Hoshidan warrior from the country's Flame Tribe, and is the daughter of the Flame Tribe's chieftain.
Rinkah is a fighter born into the Flame Tribe, which exists independent of the kingdom of Hoshido. Following the orders of her father, she provides assistance to the royal family of Hoshido in their struggle against the invasion of Nohr.
As a result of being born as the direct descendant of the Fire Tribe's chieftain, Rinkah has thus been trained since infancy to become a warrior worthy of inheriting the title of chieftain in the future. Stalwart in her dedication to her training, Rinkah constantly strives towards bettering her combat skills, never once permitting herself to be complacent. This fact is reflected through a good number of the supports that she shares with many characters, like Silas and Hinata, where, despite her inclination to isolate herself from others, she readily accepts any challenge that is put forth to her to test her mettle.
The strictness of Rinkah's training has moulded her into a paragon of courage and toughness that is unrivalled by almost anyone in the army. Due to this, she thus adopts a no-nonsense policy in her regard of others, and will not hesitate to lash out at anyone for their cowardice. Her supports with Hayato reveal this, where she, in a fit of impatient rage, scolds him for attempting to throw away his vegetables because he considers them too bitter for his liking.
In accordance with her clan’s law of solitude, Rinkah chooses to isolate herself from the rest of her allies, preferring to be in her own company in that of being in others. This fact is proven through a number of her supports like Takumi, Kaden and Keaton, where she expresses annoyance whenever anyone seeks to interact with her. Her C-support with Ryoma, for one, sees her responding to his call for her attention by demanding to know why her Hoshidan allies talk excessively and cannot seem to leave her in peace and quiet.
As a result of her obstinate maintenance of an appearance of unwavering stoicism, Rinkah is rather adamant about not doing things that make her appear weak. Her supports with Kaze reveal this, where she initially rudely refuses his offer of candy for fear that her desire for hunger may be interpreted as a sign of weakness.
"Hrm. Normally I dislike people talking about me behind my back, but... I must admit, it's nice to have my strength praised after working so hard in training." |
"That's not it... The truth of the matter is, that's just a touchy subject for me. I can be very temperamental. Sometimes, it can be challenging for me to make a calm judgment. For whatever reason, I've never been able to change that aspect of my personality. It's ridiculous for me to question others' opinions." |
"There is no need to thank me. I should be the one thanking you—for saving my life. And for igniting this fire in my heart." |

Orochi is a Hoshidan Diviner who once served the late Queen Mikoto and is the childhood friend of Kagero, Orochi is a bubbly, fun-loving individual who delights in playing pranks on others.
Born to a noble house in Hoshido, Orochi's parents once worked in the castle as imperial Diviners. According to Orochi, her parents were not well-respected owing to the unpredictability of the fortunes that they told; just as they were able to determine good fortunes, there was also a chance for them to descry bad ones. Despite the ominous reputation that her family was branded with, Orochi was bequeathed a tremendous display of kindness by Mikoto when she made the controversial decision to hire her as a personal retainer.
Known to be best friends with Kagero since childhood, Orochi first met her when she went to gather herbs near Kagero's home and accidentally dropped her basket into a river. The two ended up falling into the river trying to retrieve the basket, and they have remained close compatriots ever since.
"Oh, she was endlessly hilarious. One time, I recall catching her swimming— with her slippers on! She'd forget she had two chopsticks in hand—and eat with four! Some might say she was absentminded. Not I. She was a dreamer of dreams. So what if Lady Mikoto had her silly mishaps. We loved her for it." |
"All right, Nyxie-poo. Let's commence our battle of magic. Our reputations are on the line. One of us will rise ascendant! The other—splat on her face! You may choose the nature of our battle—potions, perhaps?" |
"Your doom and gloom got me through my childhood with a smile on my face. Never change, Kagero. Promise—it'll always be you and I, right to the bitter end. Pinky swear!" |

Kaden is a Kitsune youth from a remote region of Hoshido. Following his father’s footsteps, he held the position of leader of the Kitsune Hamlet and kept his people in order.
"I just found this little kitty. It looks like it's hurt, but I don't know what to do. I don't have any medicine or bandages or anything that could help the poor guy." |
"Yeah, but I forgot that you have no sense of direction. At this rate, we won't even find our way back to camp before dark. Let alone finding those beautiful creatures you were talking about." |
"Ahh, yeah, I guess you could say that. After all, I'm a kitsune. We're also a little misunderstood and different than humans. Bugs are the same way. OK? So no killing them if you don't have to." |

Reina is a Hoshidan Kinshi Knight who once served the late Queen Mikoto, Reina enjoys the thrill of battle, possessing an unnerving obsession with death.
The daughter of a prominent feudal lord in Hoshido, Reina was originally raised to become a lady befitting of her family's social position. This contrasts very starkly with her childhood fascination with the Hoshidan army's training, one that eventually developed into a desire to join the guard. Before departing from her home, Reina's parents gave her an apron in the hopes that it would sway her into consigning to their expectations for her to take up the role of a domestic woman. She elected to go against her parents' wishes, choosing instead to mould herself into a knight. Quickly rising through the military ranks, Reina's efforts were eventually recognized by Mikoto, who promoted her into one of her personal retainers. While she personally saw this as a tremendous honour, Reina's parents thought otherwise and thereafter chose to sever their ties with her. Although hurt by her parents' actions, Reina continued to execute her duties as a knight unfalteringly while retaining the apron given to her as a sign of gratitude to them.
"Well, flowers are living things, just like you and me. And picking them causes them to wither away and die. We don't show mercy to our enemies on the battlefield, but flowers are innocent. And we never hurt innocents, OK?" |
"Off like the wind. That one never tires, does she? Why did I become a knight... Hm. That question might be harder to answer than I'd thought. I don't even remember how I got so interested in fighting in the first place... It's been so long." |
"No...don't be silly. I was just taken off guard. Of course I'll marry you. You've grown to be someone I depend on every day. I can't imagine what I'd do without you." |

Scarlet is a feisty, passionate individual from Cheve with strong morals, she is the leader of the Chevois resistance effort.
Scarlet leads an anti-Nohr resistance in the occupied city of Cheve, She is known to have gained her inspiration from her grandfather, who was a servant of the king of Hoshido many years earlier.
"Remember how I told you that flowers are living things too? Well, when you pick them, they can't eat or drink anymore, and they die. Flowers are defenseless little things. And we never harm the defenseless. OK?" |
"You've never seen these? Wow, you really were sheltered, huh? Pull up a seat, and I'll give you a little demonstration. First, you unsheathe your weapon and put it down on some paper, like so. Then you pour on some of this magic gunk. It's very sticky, so try not to touch it. When everything's ready, you place these stones in the gunk." |
"I love you and I'll spend the rest of my life with you...even if your proposal was pretty weak." |

Xander is the eldest son and the eldest child of five in the Nohrian royal family and the son of king Garon and the first queen, Katerina, Xander personally supervised the Corrin's combat training when they were adopted into the family during their childhood.
Known to have been born with no exceptional talents, being physically weak and adopting an introverted personality in his youth, Xander had to meticulously apply himself to his training in order to earn the right to wield the legendary Siegfried, revealing to his son that whenever he was overly pressured in making a public speech, he would pretend that he was speaking in front of a group of rabbits (carrots in the Japanese version) in order to calm himself. As he confides to Sakura through their supports, Xander eventually overcame his shyness by forcing himself to talk to his father, whom he considered to be the most frightening person he had ever known.
According to the supports shared between Elise and her retainer Arthur, Xander used to be a much more doting brother and happier person during her adolescence, and was even known to have enjoyed joking and playing with her. This same support also reveals that due to Garon being cold and ruthless even in his treatment of her, Xander used to act as a surrogate father figure towards her, providing her with the care and support that she needed. However, his change in personality and demeanor due to the stress of warfare have since caused her to step away from him, as she feels that it is more important for her brother to devote his fullest attention to his duties instead of indulging her.
"Not at all. What you said is true. You and I are different people, Leo, and I am grateful for that. You have our own strengths and your way of doing things... just as I have mine. I do not expect you to follow in my footsteps, Brother." |
"Satisfying though that may be, it would not be prudent. My position as crown prince of Nohr is a precarious one. I must maintain a certain distance, even from my family. You seem to be ably handling our siblings' affairs, so I'll leave that to you." |
"I can't wait to spend my life with you, little princess. I have so much to tell you... You were cooped up so long, I wish to show you the whole world." |

Camilla is the eldest daughter and the second eldest child of five in the Nohrian royal family and the daughter of King Garon and an unnamed concubine. When Corrin was adopted into the family during her childhood, she acknowledged them as one of her younger siblings. Much like Leo and Elise, Camilla was unfortunately used as a tool by her mother in order to gain favor with Garon. In a bid to fill the void left in the wake of the lack of maternal love in her life, she thereafter became obsessively attached to the Avatar, acting the part of the overprotective maternal figure to them.
At some point of time prior to the events of Fates, Camilla was the target of an assassination. When the assassin approached her, Camilla offered to hire her on the spot. This assassin turned out to be Beruka, who would later be appointed as one of Camilla's personal retainer. Later, Camilla came to meet a young mercenary girl whose strong combat skills deeply impressed her. This girl, Selena, was thereafter appointed as her other retainer.
"That much was evident. I was shocked at your memory for details. You knew everything about my favorite foods, Elise's hobbies, Leo's pet peeves... Even Corrin's favorite scents, which I was certain I alone knew. You had a ready answer for every question, no matter how insignificant. Some of those details even I didn't know." |
"Yes. If it weren't for you, I might have lost hope a long time ago. Nohr is a dark place, and your innocence is one of the few lights in it. Whenever I see you, I remember why we fight. To protect that light." |
"But don't you see? There's no reason to hide our love any longer. I'll say it again: we are not related. There's no taboo preventing us from marrying. We're just like...childhood sweethearts who have finally come of age." |
Voice Actor: Max Mittelman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAFKYuoZjvc)
Leo is the youngest son and second youngest of five in the Nohrian royal family and the son of King Garon and an unnamed concubine. When Corrin was adopted into the family during his childhood, he acknowledged them as one of his older siblings. Much like Camilla and Elise, Leo was unfortunately used as a tool by his mother in order to gain favour with Garon. Despite harboring no love for his mother, Leo bonded exceedingly well with his three half-siblings.
A few years prior to the events of Fates, a band of thieves attempted to rob Castle Krakenburg but was quickly intercepted by Leo and the palace guards. One of the thieves was left behind as a scapegoat so that the others could escape. The thief is revealed to be Niles, who begged Leo to put him out of his misery by killing him. Leo decided against complying with the thief's request, as he recognized his worth and decided to recruit him as one of his personal retainers.
Some time later, Garon brought a mysterious Dark Mage named Odin with a dubious background before Leo, forcing him to accept the man as one of his retainers. Due to the doubts that he initially harbored towards Odin, Leo deliberately deployed him on dangerous and impossible missions in an attempt to get rid of him. His fears proved to be unfounded, as he was impressed by Odin's competence in completing all the missions flawlessly. As a result of this, Leo recognized Odin as an invaluable ally, thereafter refraining from putting him in harm's way.
"I can't believe they said that to me. I have nothing in common with that imbecile! Just because Takumi and I are both royalty doesn't mean we're anything alike. Ugh!" |
"It was so curious, how you didn't beg for your life at all. Rather, you begged for death. That piqued my interest. And had the opposite effect of saving your life." |
"Keen as ever. But as you might have surmised, this isn't just any ring... This is the ring you give to one special person whom you vow to love for eternity. When I bought this ring for you, for the first time in my life, I felt... happy. Pure happiness, like everything finally made sense in my life. I've been battling these emotions since I first learned we aren't blood related... But as I said, I cannot hold them back any longer." |

Elise is the youngest daughter and the youngest child of five in the Nohrian royal family and the daughter of King Garon and an unnamed concubine. When Corrin was adopted into the family during her childhood, she acknowledged them as one of her older siblings. Near the end of a dark period in the Nohrian royal family, Elise was not directly raised by either of her birth parents and was instead wet-nursed by a kindly matron named Cassita. Much like Camilla and Leo, Elise was unfortunately used as a tool by her mother in order to gain favor with Garon. This fact has left her with sad memories of her mother caring more about Garon than her, one that persisted even when she was at death's door.
Despite her dysfunctional relationship with her mother, Elise's childhood was not mired in darkness, as she actively sought to bring vibrance and happiness to her life. One such instance involved Elise sneaking out of Castle Krakenburg in order to amuse herself within the underground city. There, she met a young girl, Effie, and the two quickly became fast friends. Upon returning to the capital, the two were almost apprehended by the palace guards, only to be unhanded when Elise reluctantly revealed her identity. Following this incident, Elise was unfortunately prohibited from leaving the castle without a chaperone, a fact that forced her to part ways with Effie. Several years came to pass before Effie appeared before Elise once again, this time outfitted in full uniform. When questioned, Effie revealed that she had joined the Nohrian royal knights in hopes of reuniting with her best friend, and Elise immediately responded by appointing her as one of her personal retainers.
"Heehee. Yeah, I had to take lessons when I was younger. "A lady must know how to delight the ear and soul with music!" It's a weird thing all noble girls have to do. But princesses especially." |
"But you're so strong and grown up and beautiful! You're the whole package! I want to be more like a real lady. More like you. Even if only a little. Look! I even dyed some of my hair to be the same color as yours! Heehee." |
"Maybe you're right! Maybe I don't need to change at all. After all, I already keep you in my heart when I'm playing or fighting... And also when I'm laughing or crying... Now I can keep you in my arms as well!" |

Laslow is actually Inigo from Fire Emblem Awakening. He is the son of Olivia and the father of Soleil.
Some time after the events of Awakening, Inigo appears in the world of Fates, alongside Severa and Owain, and takes on the alias "Laslow". His supports with other characters (apart from Severa and Owain) show that the three of them are here for an unknown reason. Laslow becomes a subordinate of Xander, though his birthplace and personal history are unknown to the people of Nohr. He is good at dancing and can use it as a special command.
"Ahaha! You say that, but you're just as adorable today as the day we met! So, what would you say to going out to tea to continue this little repartee of ours? Or should I say...repar-tea?" |
"That's why I was so terrified earlier... For a moment, I thought I might lose you the same way I lost them... But you were scared too, weren't you? I'm sorry to have put you through that. Thank you, my sweet girl. For saving me, and for being safe yourself." |
"I love you, and only you. Your smiles makes life worth living. I promise to keep you safe... and I swear, I'll stay by your side, always." |

Peri is a daughter of a noble family in Nohr and a subordinate to Prince Xander. Her supports with Laslow reveal that prior to the events of Fates, her mother (who she was very close to) was killed by a servant who became obsessed with her mother and wanted her forever. A very young Peri walked on the murder scene, thinking it was a lot of tomato juice that spilled before realizing that she was killed. She suffered severe emotional trauma as a result.
Despite the servant being executed by her father, she still thought that any servant in her house was her mother's murderer, and took to serial killing servants using mistakes as excuses. Even though her father was aware of this, he never said anything and she eventually left when the numbers began dwindling.
One day, Peri participated in a nobles' fighting tournament and ultimately placed third. Among the spectators of the tournament was Xander. Impressed by her character from watching her fight, Xander immediately summoned Peri to become his retainer, an offer she accepted. It is claimed in their S-Support that Xander did this because he wanted her to be his wife.
"I hate this! Where's someone I can kill? I don't want to hold back any longer! It has been too long since I've seen real mayhem, death, and destruction!" |
"*Sob* Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah! If you don't pour me some tea, I'll...I'll... I'll kill everyone in the area!" |
"But I love you in other ways too! Just like how I talk doesn't change the way I feel... I love you whether you're a prince or not! I love everything about you, Lord Xander!" |

Selena is actually Severa from Fire Emblem Awakening and she is the daughter of Cordelia.
Some time after the events of Awakening, Severa appears, alongside Inigo and Owain, in the world of Fates and joins the Nohr army under the alias "Selena". Selena becomes a subordinate of Camilla, though her birthplace and personal history are unknown to the people of Nohr. Should the Avatar gain 5 hearts (1 big heart) in the "My Room" interactions with Selena (requires at least A-Support), instead of the normal dialogue, Selena will reveal that her real name is "Severa," a fact unknown to even Camilla.
"I can't really say it aloud, but... I miss our homeland. You know the one. It's so very out of reach... I guess I'm just a little homesick." |
"If the day comes for me to leave, you will be the first to know. I can promise you that. So please, don't worry so much." |
"Are you really flirting with me at a time like this?! You immature jerk! Your smug face makes me SO ANGRY! ... Haha, but I guess that's my lot in life, eh? Thank you, Laslow. For being here for me." |

Beruka is a skilled assassin orphaned in the slums of Nohr at a young age. From the little memories she had of her parents, Beruka tells Odin in their supports that she received very little love from them and was thrown onto the streets, being forced to kill for survival before she reached the age of 10. In her support with Niles, Beruka states that her mother is deceased. She was adopted by a notable Nohrian assassin and was taught the art of assassination, though she reveals in her support with Oboro that she never received any love from him. Eventually, she became a notable assassin in her own right. One day, she was contracted to kill her adoptive father, a task she carried out with no remorse, stating that any personal feelings she may have can never make her falter in her mission.
One day, she received a new contract to kill the eldest Nohrian princess, Camilla. During her attempted assassination, Camilla found her and managed to convince her to give up her mission by hiring her as a retainer instead. Since then, she has been steadfastly loyal to Camilla. When Camilla asked if Beruka would ever try to kill her again, she states that she would only if it came from someone more trustworthy than Camilla herself, a feat that no other person has yet to accomplish. In turn, Beruka wears the armour that Camilla once used herself, according to her support with Charlotte, hence why she plays the role of a Wyvern Rider.
"Of course. I didn't need help. But after Lady Camilla took me in and enlisted me in the army... As head of a special strike force, I worked with partners more often. Yourself?" |
"Don't worry about it. It is what it is. I cannot blame them. They were neither good nor bad. Few in the slums even believed in such concepts. A man who was kind enough to give me bread was also a murderer. Was he "good"? Was he "evil"? Neither. He fed me. He killed. That is all. In the same way, my parents left me. In the same way, I kill. That is all." |
"I will carry out every mission to the letter of your command. I was afraid you might have misunderstood me last time. But I have only ever betrayed one employer." |

Odin is actually Owain from Fire Emblem Awakening. He is the son of Lissa and the cousin of Lucina from the future.
Some time after the events of Awakening, Owain, alongside Severa and Inigo, travels in the world of Fates and joins the Nohr army, taking on the alias "Odin Dark". Odin, who performs daily research into "amazing special moves" and still enjoys naming his weapons, becomes a dark mage in service to Leo alongside Niles. If he achieves an S-Support, he will have a daughter named Ophelia.
"Hail, friend! Our last sparring match was quite something. Your Sacred Dance of the Mystic Blade was quite impressive. Perhaps we should begin charging others to watch the spectacle. We could even get costumes! What do you think, Laslow of the Azure Skies?" |
"HYAAAAAAAAAAAH! Attack my ultimate supreme weapon... Missiletainn...of PURGATORY!! WHOOOOOOOSH! BAAAAANG! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Heh. That's off-putting. You're simply getting what you deserved. An attack by thine own vile spirit! You'll have ample time to bemoan your inflated ambition in a frosty tomb. For I am Odin Dark...and I will end this valiant fight!" |
"Thank you, Ophelia. Listen. We don't have special powers. But we still must support those around us who do have those abilities. Coming up with thrilling scenes and exciting phrases is no waste of time, right? A strong supporting ensemble ensures that the star shines brightest of all!" |

Niles is a cruel man working for the prince of Nohr, Leo.
During his childhood, his father abandoned his mother and she eventually left Niles behind. Eventually, Niles joined a gang of street thieves and they became his family. During his time, he participated in many heists. One of his heists involved breaking into Peri's family mansion to search for a "killer doll". In their supports, he eventually realizes that Peri was the "killer doll" that he was looking for.
In his last heist, the gang decided to raid the Nohrian palace, but were almost instantly caught. The gang used Niles as a scapegoat and left him behind to fend for himself. Prince Leowould eventually find Niles, and having nothing to lose, begged the prince to kill him. Leo thought otherwise and instantly made him his retainer. Completely shocked, Niles swore loyalty to him, abandoning his criminal ways.
If he achieves an S-Support with a female character, he will have a daughter named Nina. He will also be the father of male Kana if he marries the female Avatar and Shigure if he marries Azura.
Niles' eyepatch apparently covers a completely empty eye socket. The skinship quotes with the Avatar have him explain that he lost his eye as a child, at the hands of another criminal.
"I only have fleeting visions of my youth. I can picture an old brick. A field mouse. Torrential rain. Some kind of...horribly disfigured man. A pile of money. The taste of blood." |
"If you've really changed, why won't you tell me what you were doing back there? I won't stop dogging you until I hear it for myself." |
"Yes. I've done a lot of thinking about this. You and I have so much in common. You're the first person I've ever met who has shown genuine empathy for me. And I don't believe that's a coincidence." |

Effie is a Knight who was born in the slums of Nohr. One day the youngest princess of the Nohrian royal family, Elise, came to where she lived in disguise and the two quickly became best friends. Eventually, the two got in trouble with some Nohrian guards and were nearly punished until Elise revealed herself. Knowing that she would not meet Elise again under normal circumstances, Effie decided to join the Nohrian army and eventually entered the royal court. Upon being seen in full uniform by Elise, Effie was immediately named as Elise's retainer per her request.
"There's no secret. But what you said about my dedication is accurate. I'm more than just her retainer. I'm her best friend. Everything I do is for her. But that doesn't mean you should feel bad. You're her hero, you know?" |
"Yes. It would have changed the entire course of my life. But we did go up, and those guards found us. I tried so hard to protect you, but they were too much for me. I was only a child... I might have been locked away forever if you hadn't told them who you were." |
"That's...actually beautiful. Here, let me just try it on... Oh, it might be a size or two too small. Maybe if I twist it just a little bit... RRRRGH!" |

Arthur is one of Elise's retainers and a self-styled "Hero of Justice". Arthur's support with Azura reveals that he grew up as a commoner in Nohr to parents who taught him that justice was acting on what his heart told him to do. More than 10 years before the events of the game he met Azura as a child when she ran away after being mistreated in the castle, and subsequently stood up for her, telling the guards that he had kidnapped her and got punished afterward, when the guards came to take her back. Since that time, he studied martial arts and decided he wanted to protect people on the streets from injustice.
If he achieves an S-Support, he will have a son named Percy.
"I am coming, Lady Elise! Your loyal Arthur rides to the rescue! Stay your fearful heart! *pant* *pant* A thousand apologies, milady. I did not mean to keep you waiting. To think, if you had been accosted by thugs and it took me so long to reach you..." |
"Not on my watch! Pessimism is never the right answer. You must persevere! I'm certain our friends don't truly believe you to be King of the Faceless. They...just said that because they were startled. They DID apologize afterward! Still, we'd better steady our course as soon as possible. Hmmm, let's see... Ah, yes! I have another brilliant idea. This one's sure to work!" |
"I'm just trying to hide the fact that your brilliance brings tears to my eyes. Don't mind me! *Sniffle*" |

Nyx was born to a family of talented mages in Nohr. She was a prodigy in dark magic arts, as was the rest of her family, but quickly became too powerful. As a result, she started testing her abilities on people for fun, killing many innocent civilians. She wove a spell so dark and powerful, its magic inflicted an unbreakable curse, causing her to be unable to age. In her support conversations with Xander, she reveals that she quickly became suicidal and depressed after she was cursed. She hid herself away from the world, seeing no possible future for herself. However, Nyx decided that she wanted to live in order to atone for her crimes, and has since strived to overcome her past.
In her My Room quotes, Nyx reveals that the marks on her forehead and cheeks are designed to reflect curses.
Though she does not expect the curse to dispel, she seeks The Mirror of Truth, the relic that reflects a person's true appearance, in hopes of seeing her adult body.
Chronologically, she states that she is an older woman, much older than Corrin at least.
"Many of the villagers are claiming that your spell is tied to this illness. I think that's complete nonsense. I know that you'd never set out to hurt anyone. But you must tell me more about the enchantment you used. If it did cause their sickness, we need to find a way to make them better. I don't want the villagers to fear you." |
"You can see here that it says "Guaranteed Curse Remedy" on the packaging. But look closer. The label has been affixed over the original packet. It used to say "Headache Remedy." This is common pain medicine." |
"Somehow you always saw who I really was behind my veil of darkness... I had forgotten what love felt like. But this is it...this is love. Thank you." |

Charlotte is a Nohrian fighter and member of their border guards.
She was born in the capital of Nohr, Windmire, and grew up a pauper. Her childhood was more difficult than some due to her parents both being very poor, but they looked after her to the best of their ability. As thanks, she sends some of her earnings as a Nohr border guard back home to them. Charlotte is Benny's partner.
Previously, Charlotte was a member of the Royal Guard, however, because she intentionally acted like a fragile lady in order to attract a handsome nobleman, she was deemed too "fragile" to serve in the Royal Guard by her superior. Demoted to a border guard, she wishes to return to the Royal Guard due to the higher pay and greater chances of meeting noblemen. However, she fears that if she acts in her normal brutish self, no man will be attracted to her. She is the strongest fighter in the army. Her birthday is May 4.
"It seems Prince Xander is working on his swordsmanship today... I still can't believe I've found a man who can resist my charm. I suppose it's unsurprising; he is Nohrian royalty, after all. An intimidating man... Ugh. Snap out of it, Charlotte. Just go apologize to him, and be... Those are Faceless over there! And they're heading for Prince Xander! Milord! Look out!" |
"They're not alike! The normal me is refined and cute and endearing! ...But I understand what you mean. No matter what, it's still me behind the act. Thank you, Peri. You've helped me quite a bit." |
"I love you, darling. I've always dreamt of this moment! I did think there would be more golden things around, though..." |

"After you were knocked out, everyone was rather terrified of the bears. A few people even screamed, though they denied this later. That's when I told them that those bears meant them no harm. I'm actually friends with those bears. They're quite gentle and friendly..." |
"It's good for me that I'm not alone. Like you said, I'm part of a pack. I live and fight with allies. I do my best to protect them. That's where any strength I have comes from." |
"I don't have any sort of gold or riches, but I will definitely make you happy... I promise." |

"Hey, don't give me that look. I thought you were hungry. Besides, it's not like I'd keep anything rotten in there. Er. Hold that thought. *sniff sniff* ... OK, nothing THAT rotten. Yeesh. I'm hurt. I was just trying to break bread with you..." |
"You are my greatest treasure of all, and you smell the nicest. Hope you're ready to be really happy. From now on, I'm keeping you all to myself." |

Gunter is a Great Knight of middling class birth, Gunter became a well-known and respected knight in the Nohrian army due to his work ethic and charm. Though he settled down with a family, he eventually returned to the Nohrian army. He was ordered by King Garon to supervise and train his child, Corrin, who was currently residing in the Northern Fortress. Gunter became one of their retainers as well as their main combat instructor. His birthday is June 13.
"Hrmph. Still not good enough. This tea barely quenches my thirst. It doesn't even remotely bring me the calm it should." |
"You may not remember, but you were very shy when you were first brought to Nohr. Because of how King Garon regarded you, you were treated like a prisoner. Including your diet. I was charged with your care, but the king would not let me improve your situation. I was forced to take matters into my own hands, starting with your meals." |
"I care very deeply for you. I kept it to myself because you are my liege, though. I thought for sure that I would be taking these feelings to my grave, but... Hearing you say that you cared for me... I couldn't remain silent. Ah, that felt so good to finally say. I'm sorry if it is too much to take in at once." |

Flora is the older twin sister of Felicia and a maid for the Nohr royal family, serving Corrin. She is the eldest daughter of the Ice Tribe's chieftain, Kilma. Their father always treated Felicia more favorably due to her superior fighting ability, however, Flora was still expected to become the Ice Tribe's next leader.
Although she is Corrin's servant, Flora and Felicia were actually kidnapped by King Garon as hostages to prevent the Ice Tribe from staging a rebellion against the Nohrian Kingdom. Flora was aware of this while Felicia was not. Forced into servitude for the Avatar, she eventually became accustomed to her role, becoming an exemplary maid. She also struck up friendships with the Avatar, their combat instructor Gunter and Jakob, Corrin's butler.
"First, you write it down on a piece of paper. Then you fold it up and tie it to a string. If you do this on three different days, they say your wish will come true." |
"Well... usually you're very clumsy, and so I've always been a bit protective of you. And... I guess I liked feeling that someone had to rely on me. But whenever you have a weapon in your hand, you're a totally different person. You're extremely impressive on the battlefield. You don't need me. And while I have some talents, I'm not a gifted fighter. Not like you. In battle, it's like you're the big sister, not me. I guess that confuses me." |
"It's just wonderful to finally know how you feel! So, please please always stay with me!" |

Yukimura is a strategist serving Hoshido, Yukimura is Queen Mikoto's personal tactician.
According to Yukimura's supports with Sir Corrin, he reveals that he was once disciple to both his father and the late King Sumeragi. Admitting that he was once reckless in the strategies that he crafted in his youth, Yukimura was once inclined to achieve victory at all costs, even if a tremendous number of lives are lost in the process. Following a lecture by Sumeragi himself and learning of the late king's valiant sacrifice of his life in exchange for the Avatar's, Yukimura began to reform the way he formulates strategies, seeking to achieve victory with minimal loss of lives on both sides.
Yukimura's supports with the female Avatar reveal certain memories that he has retained of the brief amount of time that they had spent in Hoshido prior to being kidnapped. For one, Yukimura reveals that Sumeragi and Mikoto, aware of his craftsmanship skills, had requested him to craft a moving-picture box of the Avatar's childhood.
According to Shura, it was Yukimura who came up with the plan to kidnap Azura following the Avatar's abduction from Hoshido.
"A father-son competition, hm? That could be an invaluable experience for us both... Very well. I accept your challenge." |
"Yes. I learned the fundamentals from my father, who was minister in his day. Later, I was sent to serve the king as an aide. I saw firsthand how he took my father's strategies and took them even further." |
"I wish to support you in all things. Not only as a servant, but as your husband. When you came back to us, I saw in you the same strengths I saw in your parents. But since then I have come to see so much more. I see someone I could love forever. I wish to stay by your side, always at hand to draw new memories for your picture-box. Memories that we'll make...together. Would you like that?" |

"Hm? You ARE still a kid, right? You can't pull one over on ol' Papa here. I was there when you were born, and I've been keeping a close eye on your age." |
"Don't you worry, Lord Corrin. I won't give up until I've tickled your fancy! So it isn't clothes? No problem! I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve. It's important to be a good host no matter where I am! I treat all my friends as guests. ...And I want my guests to feel welcome whether we're in a tent or a palace!" |
"We were destined to be together. I'm not even making that up..." |

Fuga is the chieftain of Hoshido's Wind Tribe and best friend of the late King Sumeragi. He possesses a majesty unique to a veteran hero and his entire body exudes the presence of a stalwart warrior. He uses his opponent’s strength to determine their character and ability. In addition, he is Hayato's adoptive father: he was a close friend of Hayato's mother (whom he had feelings for, but never confessed them to her), and when she and her husband were murdered by Faceless, Fuga took their child in. He is the most loved by children. His birthday is January 8.
"With this strength and skill at your disposal, no enemy will be able to stop you. Though we do not share the same bloodline, I'm proud to call you my son." |
"Of course! Your father and I became friends when we were quite young. Our fathers were rulers, so we had much in common. We were both eldest sons, and it was good to have someone to laugh and train with. In fact, I couldn't imagine my future without him. We vowed to protect each other. It was easy to be brave knowing that your father had my back." |
"Yes. I was drawn to your strength, but I have learned you are gentle as well. Your kind words mended some old wounds I never thought would heal." |

*Ladies, you can audition for this role.
Kana is the child of Corrin and the grandchild of Mikoto. If Sir Corrin is married to Azura, Female Kana will become Shigure's sister. Any other mother will leave Lady Kana an only child. Sir Kana can be the brother of all possible children in the game except for Shigure. According to Sir Kana's supports with his sibling, he is the youngest of all the child units in Fates.
Shortly after being born, Kana was placed in the Deeprealms for their safety so they could be raised free from the war between Hoshido and Nohr. From time to time, Corrin and their spouse would come over and visit to make sure that Kana was okay. After several years in the Deeprealms, Kana grew excited when they learned that Corrin was going to pay them a visit on one particular day.
Sir Kana feels more of a need to prove himself, though still tries to help in any way he can. Sir Kana often feels annoyed because he feels that his mother treats him like a child even though he wants to help her, as seen in his Supports with his father. He seems to have inherited some of her traits as well, such as having a way with animals, as he manages to tame Avel and get along with Ace in his Supports with Sophie and Percy, while having some talents of his own, such as drawing, in his Supports with Shiro.
Their birthday is April 19, and very fond of turning into a dragon.
"Yep! I want to help everyone out as much as possible! Which right now means patrolling as much as possible! Are you in?" |
"Exactly! Let me give you an example. I'll use the letters in your name. Hm, OK... M stands for "My heart is filled with joy!" I stands for "I appreciate your help, even though you're a little intense." T stands for "Treating everyone with respect and love."" |
"They're amazing! Like, really, really amazing! I hadn't realized how many flowers I'd brought you... Oh, Mama. Thank you for taking such good care of the flowers I got you." |

Sir Kana can be the brother of all possible children in the game except for Shigure. According to Sir Kana's supports with his sibling, he is the youngest of all the child units in Fates.
Shortly after being born, Kana was placed in the Deeprealms for their safety so they could be raised free from the war between Hoshido and Nohr. From time to time, Corrin and their spouse would come over and visit to make sure that Kana was okay. After several years in the Deeprealms, Kana grew excited when they learned that Corrin was going to pay them a visit on one particular day.
Lady Kana loves to help others in anyway she can, especially around her father. She is particularly prone to crying in an instant. Female Kana's loneliness is actually crippling enough that she cries whenever she's alone, as shown in her supports with Forrest, but she nonetheless tries to keep up a cheerful demeanor in front of the rest of the army. As said above she's aware that some people see her as ditzy and uses it to her advantage, like when she tricks Dwyer into realizing and admiting that he's been acting like a jerk, or when she gets back sneakily at Velouria after they have a fight.
Their birthday is April 19, and very fond of turning into a dragon.
"Wait! I can tell when someone's treating me like a child! You'd better start treating me like an adult or...or...ELSE!" |
"Eeeee! How'd you do that! It flowed from your brush like it's no big deal. Teach me! Teach me! I want to make nice letters like yours." |
"Heehee. Sorry! I can't wait to grow up! Necklaces are nice but I want to wear rings like you, Papa!" |

*Gentlemen, I hope you have a good singing voice as well because in Line #2, you're required to sing a bit.
Shigure is the son of Azura who inherited her beautiful singing voice. He is also the biological grandson of Arete. Like other children in Fates, Shigure was raised in his own Deeprealm world where he made many friends. Unfortunately, his happiness was broken when Vallite soldiers attacked his Deeprealm, forcing him to flee.
Shigure has a natural love for the arts and is especially fond of singing like his mother. He is also a skilled painter, as shown in his supports with his father and during the DLC Anna on the Run where he says that despite being a skilled painter, cannot tell any difference between the brothers in the pirate gang. Though calm, collected, kind, and gentle, he can be moody and loves doing things at his own pace.
The reason for Shigure's hairstyle is revealed in his supports with Sophie. One of his old vassals, who Shigure was pretty close to, used to wear his hair like that. They traded hairstyles the day before their village was attacked. Shigure decided to keep it that way to honor his friend.
He loves high places the most out of everyone in the army. His birthday is June 6.
"Hello, Father. I didn't hear you come in. I'm sorry... I know this is no time for artwork. We are at war, after all." |
"My feathered friends and I will be glad to lighten your mood... *ahem* Shall we sing of a summer's day? ♪ When cows are a-milk and eating hay? Or shall we sing of a winter's night? ♪ When flakes are a-snow and lacy white?" |
"Ever since I returned, I've had the same persistent thought. I may be your child, but my songs don't have a fraction of the power that yours do. If only I could be more like you..." |
Voice Actor: Gideon Emery (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV9xTIz5dTE)
Being the son of Jakob, Dwyer grew up with much pressure from his father to become a butler and fight for Corrin. Although he does become a fine butler (even surpassing his own father), he tends to refrain from fighting, sticking to healing and helping his allies rather than fighting the enemy.
Dwyer is normally seen competing against his father in some form or manner. Although lazy and apathetic, his motto is "work before rest". He hates being ordered around by others, but when he is left alone, he takes care of chores splendidly. He is a naturally skilled butler and combatant. His specialty is brewing coffee, something that Jakob and his mother admits is better than Jakob's own specialty brew.
Similar to his father, Dwyer strongly wishes to serve Corrin as his butler. During their support conversations, Dwyer always heavily hints of how he would be a better butler than his father and how Corrin should employ him instead. His supports with Jakob and Asugi reveal that he's a master at hand-to-hand combat, but he considers this talent to be virtually useless against enemies with weapons. Due to Jakob's hellish combat training while he was a child, even without training he's able to retain all of his fighting skills.
Compared to Jakob, Dwyer is noticeably more considerate towards others. Many of his supports show how he takes care of others purely out of instinct, such as adding cardamom and cinnamon to Nina's tea after noticing that her voice was a little hoarse. Though overly blunt at times, he's also quite gentlemanly towards women. He has a strong no-nonsense personality, however, when it comes to cleanliness, manners, etiquette, and overall common sense. His supports with Kiragi show that he has strong "butler instincts" and that he refuses to take any nonsense from nobles, both of them traits passed down from his father. He also feels very uncomfortable when others call him a kind person. While he is very lazy, he does not see caring for his friends as work.
He has the most hidden talents. His birthday is November 16.
"Heh... Yeah, I can imagine that. I still have more in the carafe. Let me know if you'd like another cup." |
"My old man sort of beat it into me back when I was younger. Guess I just never lost the instinct for it. I worked pretty hard back then. All there is to it, really." |
"I don't resent you for being absent when I was a child. Now that we actually have time to spend together, I've been thinking. I'd like to enjoy every moment that I can with you." |
Voice Actress: Stephanie Sheh (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQElS_mIC78)
Sophie is the daughter of Silas. She has learned how to fight on horseback from Silas, and her personal horse, Avel, was chosen and named by Silas- though he often causes trouble for her.
Sophie is extremely prone to making mistakes, as shown throughout most of her supports. Despite this, she still remains optimistic and cheerful, although in some cases, she may be saddened and do pointless activities to prevent further accidents. She dreams of being a respectable knight like her father and loves that she can compete with him in his prime. Though she adores her horse Avel, he does not quite take to her. While he will occasionally obey her, particularly when she is serious in battle, he tends to run wild when practicing. This often results in accidents where he bites her hair, causes her to fall while riding him, or bites other people.
Aside from her relationship with Avel, she's very fond of horses in general. Her supports with Forrest reveal that she likes clothing with silhouettes of horses on it, or fabric that's the same colour as Avel's coat.
She talks to herself more than anyone. Her birthday is July 21.
"Oh...it's just...you're always so breezy about things, no matter what. Whenever there's trouble, I always end up running around in a panic. Even now, I'm still pretty shaken up about the whole bandit-raid thing. I guess I'm just jealous. Haha!" |
"I'm glad it's working out for you. That product you gave me has smoothed out my hair a lot, too! And look! It's so shiny that even Avel doesn't think it's food anymore!" |
"I love you! I'm sure you, me, and our children will make a perfect family. Oh, and Avel too, of course." |
Voice Actress: Sarah Blandy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4DO4_Mbhcg)
Midori is the daughter of Kaze, the cousin of Asugi, and the niece of Saizo.
Midori loves to make medicine and has a curious mind, making her a natural researcher. Coupled with her polite and down-to-earth personality, she is an honorable student. She also loves her father and likes to brag about him whenever the opportunity presents itself. She usually keeps her desires to spend time with him to herself, as she does not want to impede with his line of work. In the case she gets S Rank with Asugi they will be “companions” in the English version unlike the Japanese version where they are lovers despite them being cousins.
Has the most acute sense of taste. Her birthday is May 17.
"Huh? Oh, not really. This herb here just reminded me of something. Father and Uncle Saizo argued about it once." |
"Even kings die, Kiragi... But...um. Thanks, I guess. I appreciate the thought. And I'm sorry for yelling at you. Just promise me you won't do anything like that again, OK? Your being happy and healthy means way more than some dumb flower." |
"F-Father... Faatherrrrrrr!! I've tried to be patient. But all I ever wanted was to spend time together." |
Voice Actor: Kaiji Tang (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43KTQmnHYhw)
Shiro is the son of Ryoma, the cousin of Kiragi and the grandson of Sumeragi and Ikona.
Shiro has a foolhardy personality, despite being a very skilled fighter. When he sees a challenge, he rushes in without giving a second thought. As a result, he often puts himself in danger. However, he is extremely friendly, sociable and easy to get along with, as seen in his many supports, and is open minded and accepting of people with unique traits such as Nina. He is also extremely fond of chicken, as seen in his supports with Selkie and Rhajat. He reveals in his support with Selkie he enjoys bbq sauce on his chicken.
Taking a role of elder brother to some of the children, In his supports with a non-sibling male Kana, Shiro attempts to cheer him up because due to the rain Kana can't go outside and play; With female Kana, he takes on the role of a big brother, giving her piggyback rides and spinning her around in circles, much to her delight; In his supports with Kiragi he helps his younger cousin with hunting by doing the heavy lifting; And in his C support with Midori he helps her out with the large amount of herbs she picked and can't move.
He also has a quick-thinking and reckless mindset, as shown in his supports and paralogue. He attempts to fight Tarba's gang when he's ambushed even though he is not experienced enough to handle them. During Shiro's C Support with his father Ryoma, he unintentionally tells him that he only trained in the use of Naginatas so that he could beat him in a duel, knowing that lances beat swords in combat. He also asks his mother for proof that his father truly cares for her, as he does not believe so because Ryoma is rarely around them.
He is a bit insecure about inheriting the throne of Hoshido because he believes that he is not capable enough to rule the kingdom. Primarily, his father is one of the most capable and popular men in the kingdom. Compared to his father, he feels that he does not have as much talent. Therefore, he suggests to Corrin that they should inherit the throne of Hoshido after his father's rule. Though unlike his Nohrian counterpart, Siegbert, his insecurity is less apparent and he doesn't worry himself to death about it. In the end, he changes his mind to dedicate himself to train hard, so he can inherit the throne and Raijinto.
As stated in his surge quote, he apparently has lucky smallclothes.
His birthday is August 22, and he is the strongest arm wrestler out of everyone in the army.
"HERE! WE! GOOOOOOO! RRRRAAAAAAAGGGHHHH!" |
"If that's all people see when they look at us, there's nothing we can do about it. We grew up in the shadow of our fathers, always trying to be as good as them. It makes sense that their influence would swing the other way, too." |
"The last thing I want is for the line of successors to end with you... For the sake of you, Grandfather, and all the others who have wielded Raijinto... I must be prepared to take the lives of my enemies and protect the kingdom. Even if I get caught up in the heat of battle, I will not forget my resolve... This arm guard will serve as a constant reminder, in peace and war." |
Voice Actor: Yuri Lowenthal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ5FudsTuHg)
Kiragi is the son of Takumi, the cousin of Shiro, one of the grandsons of Sumeragi and Ikona, and one of the step-grandsons of Mikoto. He was left in a Deeprealm much like the other children of Fates to safely protect him during the war.
Both optimistic and friendly, Kiragi thinks of everything in a positive way. Kiragi idolizes his father and aspires to be like him one day. Whenever Takumi downplays his compliments, stating that he is not worthy of such praise, Kiragi always tries to cheer him up and inspire confidence, even if he has to cry to make him say it. He hopes to one day be able to wield the Fujin Yumi like his father, but at the present, he cannot wield it during the events of Fates. He also loves his mother, but initially refuses to study as he considers it a waste of time. However, in his support with her, after seeing her efforts to make it appeal to his passions, he is inspired to follow through with his education, proving to be an adept scholar when he tries.
Kiragi is a skilled hunter and is his one true passion. Kiragi's skill as a hunter has developed numerous skills including the ability to hide his presence, track targets from a considerable distance to the naked eye, and hit targets from said distances with little effort. He also is a skilled pathfinder, able to travel through very dangerous terrain with little effort. This is evident in his supports with Rhajat and Midori. In Rhajat's case, he gets some mushrooms and is happy to give them to her, even though she mentions the skeletons at the bottom of the cliff, and later on, algae near the mushrooms. In Midori's case, he gets a special plant that she requested which is found in a dormant volcano filled with poisonous gases, much to her concern.
Despite being royalty, he dislikes being treated like one or being called a prince. His supports with the female Corrin show that he left his caretakers because they refused to let him go outside worrying that he might be hurt or killed. This is also evident in his supports with Forrest and Hisame. However, his supports with Female Kana show that he genuinely worries about his responsibilities as a prince, and that one of the reasons he is so fond of the forest is because it is a place where he can just get away from everything for a while. This is also noted if he marries, as his ending implies that he returns to the mountains to live a quiet life after helping his family.
He has the sharpest eyes in the army. His birthday is July 4.
"Yep! Once I started thinking of it like a hunt, I began to really get it. It's not like any old board game. It requires the patience and skills of a true huntsman! I bet it's good practice for anyone who has to command forces in battle, too." |
"You mean it?! HOORAY! WOOHOO! Aw yeah! Yeah yeah yeah! I don't think I could possibly be happier!" |
"Dad... You didn't fail me at all. You were right about something that day. I really am inexperienced. Even if I wasn't making a ton of mistakes, our conversation inspired me. I've been practicing nonstop thanks to you. I'm very grateful." |
Voice Actor: Gideon Emery (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6clcP6V2cgk)
Asugi is the son of Saizo, the nephew of Kaze, and the cousin of Midori. Like the other children of Fates, Asugi was placed in the Deeprealms to protect him from the war. As the son of Saizo, Asugi was given training in hopes of having him succeed as the sixth in a line of Saizos, given that he is the first born son. However, the pressure of becoming the next Saizo proved too much for him and he decided to discard that name, instead naming himself Asugi. According to him, that name means "gray". Sometime later, Asugi was hired by bandit gang lead by Funke who wanted to raid a nearby mansion. Although paid by candy, Asugi had doubts of the mission and wanted out.
A cool, sharp and able person, Asugi worries about inheriting his father's legacy, as he has little in common with his father. He is not particularly motivated to succeed him, given that his father hardly spent time with him growing up due to the nature of the Deeprealms, but he is extremely fond of both eating and making his own sweets and carries them around at all times, even being able to replicate several recipes just from eating the desserts, though this tends to conflict with his father Saizo, who hates sweets. With his confections having a cutesy aesthetic, he even bonds with Ignatius over their mutual love of cute things, but while Ignatius is shy about it, Asugi proudly declares that there is nothing wrong with that.
Though he at first appears to be a rather easygoing character, he is very strict on himself when it comes to his duties as a ninja. Many of his supports show that he often goes on solo recon missions and that he has high confidence in himself when it comes to spying and escaping. In his supports with Hisame, he reveals that ninja are not allowed to form close bonds with others, so that even if they die in the line of duty the rest of the army would be unaffected by their death. They are also not allowed to let their faces be well-known, otherwise they would be unable to carry out undercover missions.
In the localized version, similarly to his Awakening counterpart, Asugi gives nicknames to other characters, which often describe their personalities or is out of sarcasm. Corrin is "Boss" (after commenting that "Bubbles" didn't quite feel right), Sophie is "Fumbles", Mitama is "Stars", Hisame is "Gramps", Rhajat is "Sunshine", Ignatius is "Fraidycat", Female Kana is "Little Miss Dragon", Midori is "Doc", and Dwyer is "Naps".
In his supports with Male Corrin, Saizo, and Soleil, it is revealed that like his father and paternal uncle, Asugi is very popular with girls due to his generous nature with his sweets. However, his true intention behind his generosity is information gathering, which he calls his own version of "sweet-talking". Soleil points out, however, that the real reason behind his popularity is because the girls can tell that he is a genuinely kind person. When getting a S Rank with Midori they will be listed as companions in the English version unlike the Japanese version due to them being cousins.
He smells the best out of everyone in the army. His birthday is January 1.
"Yep! Once I started thinking of it like a hunt, I began to really get it. It's not like any old board game. It requires the patience and skills of a true huntsman! I bet it's good practice for anyone who has to command forces in battle, too." |
"You mean it?! HOORAY! WOOHOO! Aw yeah! Yeah yeah yeah! I don't think I could possibly be happier!" |
"That'd be nice. Though as the next Saizo, I'm prepared for whatever I'm called on to do. I need to honor the name, you know? Make my predecessors proud. If there comes a time when you decide I'm worthy of the Saizo name... then go ahead and call me that. Just like you're calling me Asugi now." |

Mitama is the daughter of Azama and was raised in her own Deeprealm world, more exactly in a local shrine. Whenever her mother would visit her, she often sang lullabies to Mitama. However, at her young age, she often forgot the melodies and only remembered the words. Mitama's caretakers were shrine priestesses who had a plethora of poetry books, mainly about tanka and haiku. She developed a fascination with crafting haiku in particular. It was noted that her very first haiku was about her mother, though its theme revolved around her longing to see her again.
Mitama is generally very lazy, refusing to work or train. She would rather spend her time sleeping or writing poetry. In particular, she enjoys crafting Haiku poems and often uses them to express her feelings during her conversations with others.
Mitama has an interesting relationship with her father as she dislikes the fact that he makes her work so much rather than let her sleep or otherwise shirk her duties. However, she inherited a lot of her father's traits including her special star shaped irises and his particularly sharp tongue. She is motivated to please him, if only to be able to do what she wants to do, but does in the end care a great deal for him as well as her mother.
Mitama spends most of her time thinking about the sky out of everyone in the army. Her birthday is June 26.
"No! We must strike while the iron is hot! Let us waste no time! We will not part until I am satisfied with your progress for today. Haiku is fleeting / Though one studies all her life / Still she yearns for more." |
"Grrr... So it was you, then! / You, the evil voice outside / My tent this morning! I could still hear you even after I plugged my ears with wax! Do you know how frustrating it is to get wax out of your ears?! The answer is very! It's very frustrating!" |
"How can it be that at the happiest moment of my life, I cannot think of a haiku? Oh, well. You know I love you, right?" |

Hisame is the son of Hinata. Like the other children of Fates, Hisame was placed in the Deeprealms to protect him from the war.
He has a serious and stubborn personality, while being careful about everything he does. His supports with Kiragi show that he is often concerned with his father's actions around Kiragi's father, believing that such actions are "deplorable".
As it turns out, Hinata's issues with women passed onto Hisame, just in a different way; Hinata is incredibly gullible with women, whereas Hisame often has difficulty talking with them.
Hisame enjoys pickles and makes them himself, which seems to be the basis for most of his support conversations. Additionally, his obsession of them goes to the extent that if anyone degrades pickles, as shown in his C Support with Selkie, he becomes rather defensive about it to the point he tries persuading the person to like them. In his B support with Corrin, it's revealed he has a love for pickles because his father hates them. His supports with Selkie show that he keeps a years' worth of pickled food in his tent.
It is revealed in Hisame's supports with his father that Hinata named his sword, Hisamaru, in honor of Hisame. In his supports with Velouria, it reveals that he is creeped out by bugs. Hisame also likes bonsai trees, as shown in his supports with Ophelia.
His birthday is September 27, and the youngest elder in the army.
"A story of a knight is one that leads him through ever increasing challenges. Until he faces his ultimate one—slaying a dragon. It's just how stories of knights go. It's not real—only a story of courage. You shouldn't take it personally." |
"Knock, knock! I came to help you clean your room! It can't be THAT bad, can it?" |
"You said you named your sword after me, so you would always feel I was by your side." |

Caeldori is the daughter of Subaki and a Sky Knight of Hoshido. She can also be the sister of Sir Kana or Shigure if Subaki achieves a S-Support with Lady Corrin or Azura. Like the other children of Fates, Subaki placed her in the Deeprealms to protect her from the war. From time to time, Subaki would come to visit and Caeldori would hear of his many accomplishments. Inspired by them, Caeldori devoted herself to train and eventually become perfect like her father.
Caeldori is gifted with both intelligence and beauty, and strives to constantly better herself. She feels the pressure of her father's fame and diligently hones her skills in hopes of one day becoming perfect like him. She bonds well with her mother, stating that she has no natural talent like Subaki. Instead she states that her mother's hardworking nature inspires her to become a better person herself. She easily falls in love more than the other members of the army. In her supports, she is known to be an avid reader, and she also requests that Corrin be her mentor after having heard Subaki speak highly of them. In her supports with the female Corrin, it is revealed that she is a very talented writer so much so it brings the female Corrin to tears of joy calling it the most beautiful thing she ever read. Caeldori is shown is her supports to be snippy with characters such as Asugi who skip out on chores or shirk their duties.
Her birthday is July 6.
"What?! But I've been practicing everything you taught me. See? Look at my eyebrow! I'm arching it just like you told me! And I've been practicing that laugh you do. Heehee!" |
"I mean that...I have never seen Father work hard at anything. But I have seen you do so. I know that you trained for years to acquire your skills. It was your work ethic that gave me the courage to improve myself. You made me understand that I didn't need to be naturally perfect to succeed in life. Everything I have achieved, I have done through hard work. Not natural genius. So thank you, Mother. I would not be who I am without you." |
"Our love is eternal; somehow I just know it. If we cross paths again in a distant future, dear love...promise you'll remember me. Promise..." |

Rhajat is the daughter of Hayato, and a Diviner of Hoshido. She is the reincarnation of Tharja, who lost her life to the Fell Dragon Grima in a future that never came to pass. She has the darkest thoughts in the army. Her birthday is April 1.
Rhajat is a loner, preferring to stay away from others, especially those who she has no interest in. Her non-sibling supports with Shigure indicate that she used to suffer serious power incontinences when she was younger, leading her to be feared and to isolate herself from other people in fear of hurting them and being rejected.
Rhajat has a particular obsession with Corrin after they saved her from a Faceless ambush at the end of her paralogue. She also tells them that it started when she was young and energetic, as she almost fell off a cliff if not for Corrin who saved her and she changed her personality after that incident.
Her relationship with her father comes off initially as cold and condescending because she is technically older than he is, however, It is revealed that her cold personality is a means to mask her loneliness due to being raised in the Deeprealms by herself. When Hayato insists on bonding with her no matter what, she actually breaks down crying. This shows that even though she is older than Hayato is, she nevertheless cares a great deal about him.
Rhajat also cares a great deal about her mother, wanting said mother to trust her despite the opinions of others, such as the villagers in their supports. They also reveal that she's quite single-minded in her non-Corrin pursuits, like when she completely focuses on finding a cure to an illness despite being mistaken as the source of said sickness in the first place.
"Hmpf. I can't believe I managed to craft a good-luck charm. It's perhaps the most perverse and challenging magic I've ever attempted. I wonder...? Did Ophelia actually tidy up my dark soul a little? Her spells are so weak though. Pffft—gem magic!" |
"It was only after I left my Deeprealm to voyage here... that I discovered how time flowed at an accelerated rate. A rate far faster than the other Deeprealms... If I had remained there, I'd be a white-haired old lady by now. That's how I know I'm older than you. I may actually be older than Mother, too. You may be my father... But I won't be lectured to by someone even younger than I am." |
"I've got you right where I want you. And I'm never going to let go..." |
Voice Actress: Elizabeth "E.G." Daily (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lkCp8hhUJQ)
Selkie is the daughter of Kaden. Like the other children of Fates, Selkie was raised in her own Deeprealm world.
Selkie has an innocent and cheerful personality, one that has never seen danger. She is very active and almost never stands still due to the fact that she loves to play with others, especially her father. Fun-loving, carefree, and playful to a fault, Selkie often focuses on playing and having fun, rather than danger, sometimes with her game being the cause of the danger. She ignores advice (for games to play) if she sees them as boring and either suggests a new one or continues with the one she's currently doing, as seen in supports with her mother and Shigure. She can be a little dense in life-threatening situations as she consistently considers fighting as a game. However, like her father, she always feels the need to repay a favor done for her.
She is the most fearless in the army. Her birthday is October 20.
"Velouria! VELOOOOOOOURIAAAAA! Come out and play with me!" |
"Midori... You're the best friend anyone could have! I shouldn't be turning up my nose when you're trying so hard to help. Tell you what. To make it up to you, I'll drink down whatever medicine you give me!" |
"Oh! But that doesn't mean I didn't like being with you. It was really fun to see how you put it all together. I guess what I'm saying is... Sometimes I want to do makeup with you, but other times... I want to run and play outside with you!" |

Siegbert is the son of Xander and the cousin of Forrest, as well as one of the two paternal grandsons of Garon. Like the other children of Fates, Siegbert was placed in the Deeprealms to keep him safe from the war. Siegbert became particularly close to his father and would spend his days learning all he could from swordsmanship to penmanship in an attempt to impress his father whenever he would visit. He also would regularly receive news of his father's efforts in the war.
He is kind, serious, straightforward, and a culturally refined elite. The stress of being Xander's son weighs heavily on him, and he frequently feels inadequate and useless in comparison. The weight of the expectations from not only others but himself scares him, and he tries very hard to exceed the expectations of both his father and the people of Nohr as a future king. He constantly compares himself to his father, believing him to be the end-all-be-all role model. However, his efforts are far from good for his mental health, as he berates himself and refuses to be seen as weak in the eyes of others. He regards having hobbies and things he enjoys outside of princely duties as weaknesses, and will hide these things from everyone but the ones he deeply trusts. He cares very much about the people around him, and will go out of his way to ensure they're doing well and are safe.
Siegbert is shown to be very protective of his cousin Forrest as shown in his support conversations with him, always trying to accompany Forrest on his trips to town in order to protect him from harassment and ruffians. Much like his father Xander, Siegbert isn't above serving in the front-lines. In fact, his A-Support conversation with Ignatius reveals that he feels compelled to fight alongside his friends rather than stay in the back.
His birthday is on May 28 and he has the whitest teeth in the entire army.
"Nothing of great import. I simply want to get to know you better. As we are both destined to rule someday, I thought we should cement our relationship." |
"Ofttimes when I am caught in the gazes of our people, I am struck with fear. Their eyes are so heavy with expectation, and there are so many of them... I feel I must be nothing less than perfect in their eyes. And this vexes me." |
"I'm still full of shortcomings, but someday, I promise I'll be a man who deserves your company. I can do anything if it's for you, my love." |
Voice Actor: Max Mittelman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRAp0lSYFq0)
Forrest is the son of Leo and the cousin of Siegbert, as well as one of the two grandsons of Garon. Like the other children of Fates, Forrest was placed in the Deeprealms to protect him from the war. During his time in his Deeprealm, Forrest developed an interest in fashion as well as a strong bond with his aunt, Elise. One day, Elise gave one of her old hand-me-down dresses to one of Forrest's caretakers. Forrest was so enamored by it, he decided to wear it and Leo called him cute in it. It was at this moment that Forrest began learning about fashion and learned how to sew over the years in his Deeprealm. Even though Forrest knew that boys did not wear skirts and dresses, he learned to make feminine clothing and continued to wear them.
Forrest is very polite and cordial with most people, even exhibiting some feminine traits. Despite his feminine appearance, Forrest has stated that he is not romantically attracted to men. Instead, his feminine appearance is due to a deep interest in fashion designing. Forrest has stated that the clothing he wears is of his own design. While he mainly focuses on designing dresses and other feminine clothing, he is perfectly capable of crafting masculine outfits, even creating a perfect hunting outfit for Kiragi in their support when he was taken on a hiking trip with him. He also is obsessed with cleanliness, refusing to dirty himself as much as possible, and adores cute animals such as rabbits.
Forrest's relationship with his father is soured originally due to Leo not approving of his son's interests. However, after Leo saw the error of his ways and became more accepting of his son's hobbies, their relationship improved significantly. Like the other sons of the royal princes, Forrest is destined one day to inherit Brynhildr. However, Forrest is not as eager as the others to inherit his weapon as he fears losing sight of himself when wielding the powerful tome. With reassurance from his father, Forrest believes that he will one day be worthy to inherit the tome, but not at the current point in time.
His birthday is March 13, and has the most sympathetic ear in the army.
"Siegbert...it's OK. I understand. Your heart was in the right place. I'm happy that you were trying to protect me. It's nice having a guardian angel. But from here on out, I want you to see me as your ally, not your obligation. OK?" |
"Hmm... I don't know if I can handle that responsibility right now. But perhaps eventually, once I've matured a bit more... I do hope you will entrust me with Brynhildr when the time is right. Eventually, I would like to walk the same path as you... I need to reflect on what it truly means to possess incredible power. But I would love to protect people from the devastation of war." |
"I love you for you who are. As I know you love me. What a lovely pair we make. May love always triumph over ignorance." |
Voice Actress: Amber Hood (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxUOEv8XBwY)
Soleil is the daughter of Laslow. She can also be the sister of Sir Kana or Shigure if Laslow achieves a S-Support with Lady Corrin or Azura. Like the other children of Fates, she was placed in the Deeprealms to protect her from the war. While she stayed in her Deeprealm for most of the time, she eventually became interested in mercenary work and amassed a large crew who help out those in need. It is said that her group is always smiling due to her philosophies of keeping a positive attitude.
Soleil has a cheerful and energetic personality. Though she is not too shy, she can get anxious about her surroundings. Soleil is very popular with girls due to her cool personality and likes to hit on them. Because of her cool personality, she can tend to be immensely shameless, as she does not mind changing clothes, even if there are other people watching. In her B Support with Ophelia, Soleil does not panic when Ophelia casts a spell to exchange bodies.
Laslow states that Soleil has "good taste" in both men and women. In the english localized version of the game Soleil's support conversations and personality suggest that she prefers females instead. In most of her supports with the other male children, if they reach an S rank support, they simply become better friends rather than marrying. The only exceptions to this are Forrest and the male Corrin. In the Japanese original version however, while Soleil still has a weakness towards some females, it is much more ambiguous which one she prefers, and her S rank supports have her normally marry the other male children.
However, she isn't completely without embarrassment; in her B-support with Dwyer she tries to practice dancing in secret, only for him to misinterpret it as a demon-summoning ritual, but Soleil threatens to blackmail him into keeping quiet and helping her learn. Also, her supports with the male Corrin have him try to help her to not sweat or faint around girls because she thinks that it's getting in her way of being a warrior by practicing blindfolded (under the effects of a potion in the Japanese version) and pretending that Corrin is a girl.
She adores her father and loves being protected by him, yet she did not inherit his dancing skills; stating that she has no sense of rhythm. Growing up alone in the Deeprealms caused Soleil to become very protective of Laslow, stating that she always was unsure when he would be seen again. She thinks that her mother is very cute, so she feels jealous of her father for marrying her mother. Unfortunately, this makes her a mild annoyance to her mother as she annoys them in their supports as they try to work by excessively complimenting her in flirtatious ways. She is the worst singer in the army. Her birthday is August 31.
"Ahaha... I'm not letting you go that easy, my cute little butterfly! Relax already! We have so much to talk about that I can't wait to get started. Heheh...ooooooh, this is gonna be good!" |
"Well... yes and no. The girl you in my imagination was cute and adorable. And if you just wanted to be silly and have fun, I'd close my eyes and imagine her. But it sounds like you're talking about something serious. Something real. So that version of you, cute as she is, won't work anymore." |
"I'm just happy I got you to laugh again! ... Hey, Dad? I don't know what happened to you in the past... But I DO know how much you love me now. I know one day you'll tell me everything... And one day, we may even have to part ways... But no matter what, I'll always be your daughter. Always. I love you, Dad. I always have, and I always, always will." |

Ophelia is the daughter of Odin. Like the other children in Fates, Ophelia was placed in the Deeprealms to protect her from the war.
Ophelia is an optimistic and bubbly young girl who looks at the world through wondering eyes. Much of her personality arises out of admiration of her "Chosen Father", whom she emulates greatly through giving weapons grandiose names and shouting over-the-top names for her spells while doing flashy poses. She loves her father's eccentric personality and is one of the few people who truly understands how he thinks. However, her support conversations with her mother suggests that she feels inferior to her father's abilities to the point she finds she tells Corrin in her support conversation that she feels like a mimic of her father. In her support conversation with Midori, she reveals to have abilities of foreseeing the future.
She tends to be dreamy, spacing out whenever she is not in combat. She also makes use of stars and stones to perform curious incantations. She considers herself sworn to Forrest's service just as her father is sworn to Leo, and she can be excessively fierce in her attempts to protect the prince, to the point of nearly attacking street merchants whose perfume caused Forrest to cough. She is very overprotective of Forrest, and when she is asked to stay behind while Forrest shops, she becomes very worried about him.
She is the one most skilled at skipping, and was born on September 15.
"HYAAAAAAAAAAAH! Attack, my supreme secret weapon. Missiletainn...of PURGATORY!! WHOOOOOOOSH! BAAAAANG! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Phew! How ghastly. You're simply getting what you deserved. An attack on thine own vile spirit! Take comfort. You'll have ample time to bemoan your inflated ambition in a frosty tomb. For I am Crimson Ophelia... And I will end this valiant fight!" |
"Not today! For I am no longer a fragile butterfly, powerless before your onslaught. I saw this moment coming and prepared a special spell for the occasion! With a flick of the wrist...and a click of the tongue... Hah!" |
"Fate has chosen us. The moon and the stars bless our union. The constellations celebrate our love. You and I, forever into eternity." |

Nina is the daughter of Niles. Like the other children of Fates, Nina was placed in the Deeprealms to protect her from the war. However, due to Niles' infrequent visits, Nina believed that Niles did not care for her and decided to take up the life of a thief as an escape without Niles knowing about it. Eventually she formed a gang of other thieves performing Robin Hood-like acts in which they rob greedy nobles of their gold, treasure and other valuables before giving said valuables back to the commoners who lost their gold to the nobility.
Though she is cool and collected with a good intellect, Nina also has dubious delusions. Seeing two males in close proximity to each other, especially when they are interacting, fuels her delusions of a possible "steamy" relationship between the two. As a result of the innumerable delusions that she harbors about boys in her fantasies, Nina has thus developed, ironically enough, a debilitating nervousness that prevents her from interacting with them with ease, making her the worst at talking to males out of everyone in the army. This is evidenced throughout her supports with most male characters outside of her father and Forrest, as he is the only guy she feels comfortable talking with due to the fact that he does not dress nor act like a typical boy his age does.
Her fantasies are so obsessive that it has escalated to the point of her developing unique tactics and strategies for stealth and spying that is considered the best in the army, a fact revealed in her supports with her mother. Her supports with Caeldori expands on this where she asks Nina to go on a scouting mission in her place and find the enemy's location and numbers, but returns with their weak points, weapon locations and patrol routes in addition to what was required. Her supports with Asugi demonstrates her ability to study the routine of anyone she stalks, as the former is convinced that a merchant that Nina is watching is actually a spy but she disproves him due to studying his daily routine. She also admits that while she is good with covert activities, she still has room for improvement as she was unable to hear Asugi approaching due to him being a trained ninja.
Apart from her delusions, Nina is actually really friendly, albeit snarky, to other women whom she considers a friend and tends to help them when needed. Her supports with Shiro reveal that she enjoys watching plays because they help fuel her fantasies with more stories to write about.
She has a strained relationship with her father. Though Niles' intentions for putting her in the Deeprealms were for her safety, Nina disliked the fact that he was not more involved in her life. Through their supports, she can eventually reconcile with him after learning his history. However, she does not have the same sort of initial hostility towards her mother. With that said, Nina has inherited a sadistic side from her father, although she saves it for her enemies, saying things such as 'I wanna see them cry' or 'I'll make them suffer' when supporting an ally.
Her birthday is January 31.
"Mmm...that was really something. The way those men were chatting like old friends... What could they have been talking about? The mind wanders..." |
"You can't just dump all that on me and then leave once you're done. You really are the worst. Besides, I already knew I should make my own decisions without YOU telling me! Still, though... I'll try not to do anything that would upset you. I don't really hate you. I don't really want you to suffer." |
"I...I've never felt this way before. I couldn't have imagined that anyone would love me just the way I am. So...no more daydreaming for a while. Reality is so much sweeter." |
Voice Actor: Antony Del Rio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToTSGFIiGW8)
Percy is the son of Arthur. Like the other children of Fates, Percy was placed in the Deeprealms to protect him from the war. Arthur did not want Percy to be lonely in his Deeprealm so he found him a wyvern to keep him company and Percy named him Ace. His birthday is September 5.
Percy inherited his father's heroic spirit and is eager to be his father's "Ally of Justice." He looks forward to any opportunity to work along side him and is protective of his mother, wanting to become strong enough to protect her. Like Arthur, Percy is willing to help out anyone in need and often looks for opportunities to assist the common citizen.
Unlike his father who is plagued with unfortunate bad luck, Percy is blessed with astronomically good luck. In his support with his mother, Percy falls off of a cliff known to kill people, only to walk away with only a minor cut to his knee, a testament to his natural-born luck. However, he greatly dislikes it, as it removes all the hard work he is willing to do, and he cannot stop it even if he tries. He admires his father's bad luck because of the challenges he has to face.
He shares a strong bond with his Wyvern, Ace, whom Arthur found to be Percy's friend while he was raised in the Deeprealms. This bond allows the two to communicate with each other easily.
"Oooof! My toe! What's this? Something sticking out of the ground? Well, let's just pull...this...out! Oh. It's a big sack. And it's full of more gold than could feed a town for a year. Hmph. Big surprise." |
"Right?! I totally agree. I was pretty proud of myself when I came up with that name. But there is so much more I want to do. Eventually, I hope to become a brave knight so that I can protect everyone around me." |
"So you were just trying to sneak a peak and make sure I was OK? You've been watching us play for a while. Isn't it obvious? Ace is the best buddy in the world!" |
Voice Actor: Kaiji Tang (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzuIvP9ua6g)
Ignatius is the son of Benny. He can also be the brother of Sir Kana or Shigure if Benny achieves an S-Support with Lady Corrin or Azura. Like other children of Fates, he was placed in the Deeprealms to protect him from the war.
Despite Ignatius' rough looking exterior, he is extremely timid and very kindhearted, much like his father. However, when time is needed, Ignatius is perfectly capable of displaying strong valor and courage to protect the weak, even if the enemy is clearly stronger than he is. He is fond of cute things. Ignatius idolizes his father, wanting to become a hero like him and displaying the same strength he does. He carries a charm made by his father for protection and strength and is his most treasured belonging. During their support conversations, Ignatius and Benny have an awkward time communicating.
Ignatius has a wide variety of fears, most notably bugs. He is so afraid of them, that he cannot even approach one and has his mother take care of it in his stead in their supports and even his father uses it as a test of his courage in their support. He is also terrified of ghosts and clowns, as revealed in his supports with Selkie.
His birthday is August 16.
"You're...you're joking, right? Because ghosts don't exist. But if they did, and one was attacking you... that ghost would not be long for this world. Er, I mean... You know what I mean." |
"...As you say. And I apologize for hassling you about your watching those guys. I should have realized you were doing it in order to expose their thievery." |
"So I'll follow your lead there too. You're living proof that even cowards like us can make our way in the world. Not to say I'll never feel stress or fear, of course. But when the world is too much for me, I have this to hold on to to get me through." |
Voice Actress: Angela Marie Volpe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7U7bd65vSc)
Velouria is the daughter of Keaton. Like the other children of Fates, Velouria was placed in the Deeprealms to spare her from the war.
Velouria loves everything about her parents, particularly her father, to the point that it is almost obsessive and clingy. This obsession is so strong that, when Keaton tries to put a restraining order on her, she says that it is, "a punishment every bit as bad as death". Her love for her parents is so strong she even tries to send her mother away so that she does not get claimed by the war. Although, this obsession isn't without its reasons. Once she is an adult, she will be forced to leave due to wolfskin tradition so she wants to spend as much time with her parents as possible and, because of the war, she keeps fighting to prevent that time from coming sooner. Another reason is because she wants to compensate for all the lost time she spent in the Deeprealms. Aside from their wolfskin instincts and tastes, she and Keaton have little in common behavior-wise with each other, which Keaton seems to notice. But as shown in her battle quote in Anna on the Run she inherited her father's cannibalistic attitude towards her enemies.
When acting her normal self she is often lazy, strange and distant from others, but her emotions fluctuate a little and she has a bit of a wicked tongue regardless of her current mood. She is very quiet and often seems uninterested and lazy to most people. However, she can easily and quickly change for better (when she finds "treasure" or is around her parents) or for worse (when refused "treasure" or is thinking about her parents with a negative headspace). This effects her interactions with people as the exchange she has with Siegbertdemonstrates the kind of self-deprecation, aloofness and suddenly refined speech that the stereotypical proud, sociable closet country mouse would have when in her normal or happy state-of-mind, but can tend to talk in an extreme and rushed matter of speaking when angered, annoyed or extremely excited. According to her supports with Nina, it also applies to her facial expressions as she does not express herself on command and as a result she is often hard to read most of the time, however she is still capable of wagging her tail whenever she is happy or excited.
Similar to her father, Velouria has the habit of picking up random objects that she comes across and treasuring the ones that appeal to her. However, unlike her father, she will turn cold to anyone who refuses to give her a "treasure" that she wants. On rare occasions, she will attack said person for what she wants. She will sometimes also "collect" small but ferocious animals, such as ferrets with rabies, and sees no value in gold or jewelry whatsoever, save for any wedding rings she is offered in her S-Supports. She will also eat whatever food she finds on the ground whether its fresh or less than a fortnight old, despite protests from the rest of the army, as a result of being half wolf.
She loves to play with fur balls and often invades people's personal spaces to sniff their scents. Due to being a wolfskin, she can track down or sense people with their scent alone which is helpful for her when tracking down "treasure" or her parents; in fact her sense of smell and hearing are keen even for a wolfskin, as she admits to Kana as his sister. She particularly likes the scent of her mother and says that she smells "more like a flower everyday". In fact, depending on who her mother is, the flower she compares them to are different.
She has the messiest room out of everyone in the army due to her habit of hoarding "treasure".
"I have a very sensitive nose. I always know when something is too nasty to eat. It's really not a problem. You don't need to worry about me! That's how I knew the bread was totally fine for me to eat." |
"No. You saw into my heart and sensed my needs—despite what I said. No child could put her own selfishness aside to see that." |
"That's why I want you to hug me, Daddy. I already had to spend so much time by myself in the Deeprealm... I don't want to spend any more time apart from you... I want to stay close, like this..." |

Like Awakening, Anna appears in as the gatekeeper for the Dragon's Gate for the Xenologues of Fates.
Anna appears in a multitude of ways in both Awakening and Fates, being the first game in which more than one Anna appears simultaneously. Driven by an almost instinctual need to make money, Anna is willing to do whatever it takes to sell an item, sometimes telling little-white lies, though often regrets using such tactics. She does show restraint more often than not but any means of obtaining gold legitimately through sales is fair game in her mind. This fondness of gold even affects her love life, as for any Corrin who marries her quickly find out that her love of money remains more than her love of them, but she still shows that she loves them nonetheless.
As part of a large family, the Anna family share a strong familial bond with each other and respects each other's "territories", doing their best not to impede on each other's work, even ceasing their own plans the minute they learn that another Anna has dibs on the same schemes. Despite their similar appearances, each Anna is able to distinguish Annas from one another from an early age thanks to a special log that records all acts of every single Anna in history that every Anna is required to read. According to the Fates Anna, though their names are spelled the same, there are different pronunciations of their names to help distinguish each other during family gatherings. As a mother, of either Morgan in Awakening and Kana in Fates, it is shown that she does not force Corrin to name either of them Anna, but nonetheless stresses the importance of her huge extended family and its traditions to her daughters.
