Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

The fourth game in the Fire Emblem series, and the first part of the Jugdral canon.

Characters from Fire Emblem include:

First Generation Playable Characters

Sigurd of Chalphy (Siglud)

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

Class: Lord Knight
Holy blood: Baldo [Major]

Blade on a Stick: Notable for being the first Lord in the series to be able to use them. However, it's more likely that he'll stick with swords instead.
Dead Little Sister: Near the end of the First Generation.
Decoy Protagonist: His son Seliph takes over the plot after his death, and ends up unifying the accidental conquests.
Disappeared Dad: Later on. Damn you, Arvis.
Expy: His class, Lord Knight, is effectively a Paladin on 'roids, and the Tyrfing sure looks a lot like the Falchion.
Forgotten Fallen Friend: Averted: he's mentioned at least once in every chapter of the Second Generation, played straight with almost every other First Generation character, however... unless we count their kids' talks.
The Hero: He fights injustice across Jugdral, and inspires a large amount of disparate people to join him, from peasant dancers to other royals.
The Hero Dies: He's branded as a traitor and killed when he returns to his country. He is the only lord in the series to actually die in their own game (and stay down for good).
Heroes Prefer Swords: He's capable of using any sword in the game, except the Balmunc and Mystletainn (and those are personal weapons anyway).
Hot Dad: Of Seliph.
In-Series Nickname: In the Nuts Fujimori manga, Quan affectionately nicknames him "Sigulin" (Portmanteau of "Siglud" and "Ethlin").
Late Arrival Spoiler: He dies, along with almost everyone else in his army, but seeing as how everyone knows about the Second Generation now and how it's almost impossible not to find out before beating First Generation, it's not as surprising.
Leitmotif: Birth of the Holy Knight.
Light Is Good: He's a descendant of Baldur, the Crusader of Light. He doesn't get any magic though.
Mage Killer: Once he gets the Tyrfing.
Our Ghosts Are Different/Spirit Advisor: He comes back in a secret cutscene very late in the second generation just to tell Celice not to let Arvis's death go do his head, and that he still has a way to go before he understands just what the whole war's been about.
Shaggy Dog Story: He just can't catch a break.
Shoot the Shaggy Dog: He rescues his friend, deposes a couple of corrupt rulers, and ends Silesse's civil war. But his search for Deirdre ends with her amnesiac and married to another man, he's unable to clear his name, he's summarily executed, and he accidentally turned his country into an empire that goes on to oppress all the places he freed, and then some.
The Wise Prince: He would honestly prefer to leave places like Verdane and Agustria to govern themselves once he removes their corrupt rulers.
You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Like most Fire Emblem Lords.
You Killed My Father: To Lombard and Reptor.

Alec

A knight of Chalphy, one of the few remaining with everyone else off to war. Loose, relaxed and something of a womanizer.

Class: Cavalier

Chivalrous Pervert: Could even be argued as being the predecessor to Sain.
Fragile Speedster: Specializes in speed, but lacks Noish's defense and strength stats
Hot Dad: If paired up.
Nice Hat: That turban he wears.
Ship Tease: If you make him talk to Silvia, they hit it off nicely at first sight. And yup, they're easy to pair off after this.
Suck My Rose: Tries to seduce Ayra with this several times in the Nuts Fujimori manga. Hilariously fails each time.

Naoise (Noish)

A knight of Chalphy, one of the few remaining with everyone else off to war. Devoted and fiery.

Class: Cavalier

Hair of Gold
Hot-Blooded: Comes off as more passionately serious than Alec.
Hot Dad: If paired up.
Lightning Bruiser: Can be this if his Berserk skill kicks in often enough.
The Worf Effect: In the Oosawa manga, Naoise is among the victims of Sandima's poisonous Fenrir spell. He does survive though.

Arden

A knight of Chalphy, one of the few remaining with everyone else off to war.

Class: Sword Armour

Adaptational Badass: Heroes makes him a rather unique Mighty Glacier, having one of the lowest Speed and Resistance stats in the whole game, but also some of the highest HP, Attack and Defense. What makes him unique is his special Follow-Up Ring, which allows him to always perform an extra attack regardless of his actual speed stat if he's above half HP. Combined with his Brave Sword, this allows him to be one of the only armored units in the game to be capable of consistently performing quadruple attacks. Add in an inherited Special such as Bonfire or Ignis that takes advantage of his obscene Defense, and he's a much tougher beast than he was in his game of origin. Also put in the fact that his old problem (being a low movement unit in a game with huge maps) is omitted (the maps in Heroes are much smaller), he can put his new advantages to use more often.
Berserk Button: Don't call him slow!
Butt Monkey: His unique events play this up.
Can't Catch Up: In spades. Being a low-movement, low speed Armor Knight wielding swords really hurts his usability in the long run, and being forced to do nothing but lag behind for the entirety of the 1st Gen forces most players to bench him after the first couple chapters. In the game where you actually get to deploy your entire army simultaneously.
Catch Phrase: He likes to claim that he's "strong and tough", but don't call him slow!
Face of a Thug: In official arts, he wasn't that bad looking, but his art in Fire Emblem Heroes made him look like a convicted thug. Still, he's a Gentle Giant.
Gentle Giant: Say what you will about his stats and looks, the man's got a heart as big as his armor.
Gonk: Though he's not as ugly in his official artwork.
Guide Dang It:
- Similiar to Lex, Arden needs a ring in order to get the Pursuit skill. The event he gets it from is similarly out of the way and not foreshadowed at all. Even if you got Lex's Brave Axe, you would still have to guess randomly about who has an event on that tiny peninsula.
- Arden has another such event in Chapter 5 which not not only requires Arden to stand on one particular out-of-the-way tile, but also requires him to be married,which almost never happens.
Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: If you pair him.
I Regret Nothing: His death quote has him claim this, having been proud to have served Sigurd all his life.
Mighty Glacier: He has excellent defense but hardly any movement. This is particularly pronounced in Fire Emblem Heroes, where he is the first unit to have at least 60 HP and 40 Defense, but he is tied with Zephiel for the worst speed in the game.
Pre-Mortem One-Liner: In Fire Emblem Heroes.

"I'm strong, and you're toast."
"I'm strong and I'm tough!"
"Nnn… ngh!"
"Ain't no way I'm gonna die!"

Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: More "homely" than outright ugly, but since all the women are stunners, this happens if he's paired at all.
What Happened to the Mouse?: One of the few characters whose fate is left ambiguous after the Battle of Belhalla.

Azelle of Velthomer (Azel)

The half-brother of Arvis of Velthomer. Despite Arvis's warnings to the contrary, he travels to the south to assist in the fight against Verdane and rescue Edain, taking Lex with him.

Class: Mage
Holy blood: Fala [Minor]

Adorkable: A cute, shy mage.
Big Damn Heroes: In the Oosawa manga's rendition of the Prologue, he saves Midir when he's held hostage by the Verdane army.
Child by Rape: Victor took advantage of said maid when he was drunk, and got pissed when he learned that the poor girl was pregnant. Then It Got Worse.
Green-Eyed Monster:
- Edain and Midir suffer from this in the Nuts Fujimori manga: he works the nerve to propose Edain, and she accepts, but he immediately realizes their relationship would fail in the end, and forces Edain and Midir to sort out their UST and hook up.
- Similarly, he does this in the Oosawa manga, but in regards to Edain and Jamke. While Azelle still holds feelings for her, he comes to accept his love is unrequited and doesn't reveal it, but when she ans Jamke get hooked up, he breaks down crying in the tent/room he shares with Lex, who ends up comforting him.
Fiery Redhead: Subverted: he's as timid as they come.
Heroic Bastard: His dad was Lord Victor of Velthomer, his mom was the favorite maid of Arvis's mother Cigyun (who also had been little Arvis's nanny).
Heterosexual Life Partners: Azelle is the sensitive guy to Lex's manly man.
Hot Dad: If paired up.
Magic Knight: Can promote to one.
Missing Mom: When young Arvis kicked Victor's mistresses out of the court, only Azelle's mom was allowed to stay. She became Arvis and Azelle's caretaker, but died some years before the story happened.
Playing with Fire: His initial equip is a Fire tome (as per Velthomer tradition), although he can use all three magic types.
Rebel Prince: Openly defies Arvis to help Lex and Sigurd. To put this in perspective: Velthomer is one of the most powerful territories in Jugdral, and its ruler Arvis is known as a stern and rather feared ruler, which Azelle knows better than anyone. He still defies his brother despite being scared of him.
Shrinking Violet: He's fairly shy around most, and outright terrified of his brother.

Lex of Dozel

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

Class: Axe Knight
Holy blood: Neir [Minor]

An Axe to Grind: The preferred weapon of the Neir bloodline.
Black Sheep: Of the Neir lineage. He's also the only member to have blue hair instead of brown/red.
Cain and Abel: With Danann.
Honest Axe: This nets him the powerful Hero Axe.
Hot-Blooded/Leeroy Jenkins: This quote sums it up.

Lex: Hahahaa... Alright, let's do this. Finally, a chance to kick some ass.

Hot Dad: If paired up.
Lightning Bruiser: ...With the Hero's Axe, Lex is nigh-unkillable.
Mad Dictator's Handsome Son: The heroic son of Lombard, an enemy character.
Mighty Glacier: Normally.
Rebel Prince: His family is an enemy to Sigurd's.
You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Strangely, few of his relatives have it: they're all brunettes or redheads.

Prince Quan of Leonster (Cuan)

The prince of Leonster, a childhood friend of Sigurd and Eldigan, and married to Sigurd's sister Ethlyn. He accompanies Ethlyn to Chalphy to assist Sigurd.

Class: Duke Knight
Holy blood: Noba [Major]

Different As Night and Day: His Nuts Fujimori and Oosawa adaptions are this. In the first, he's oblivious and sometimes comically stupid; in the second, he's much more serious and mature, though sometimes Not So Above It All.
Disappeared Dad: To Leif and Altena.
The Lancer: To Sigurd. He's more level-headed and less reckless. He also fits the weapon part too.
The Obi-Wan: To Finn.
Shipper on Deck: For Finn and Lachesis in the Oosawa manga. It is his idea that Finn becomes Lachesis's bodyguard after all.

Princess Ethlyn of Leonster (Ethrin, Ethlin)

Quan's wife and Sigurd's sister. She sets out for Chalphy upon hearing word of their plight at Verdane's hands.

Class: Troubadour
Holy blood: Baldo [Minor]

Genki Girl: Especially in the Oosawa adaptation.
Hot Mom: Of Leif and Altena.
Missing Mom: Killed before either of her children is old enough to remember her.
The Paladin
Promotion to Parent: She stepped up to take care of Sigurd and Lord Byron after their mother died. The kicker? She's the younger sibling.
Rose-Haired Girl: A Genki Girl with pink hair.
Shipper on Deck: For Finn and Lachesis as well as Edain and Jamke in the Oosawa manga.

Finn (Fin)

A fresh knight in the service of Leonster who accompanies Quan and Ethlyn to Chalphy.

Class: Lance Knight

Badass: Very much so:
- Badass Normal: Easily since being a First Generation character to live is impressive in itself, and he's rather solid as a character.
- Future Badass: In Gen 1, he's a 15 year old Naive Newcomer. In the Second Generation, he's Older and Wiser, and it shows.
- Took a Level in Badass: It's expected that by the time Finn leaves the team in the First Generation, he's become much more experienced. However, between the two generations, his stats remain identical even though he has become even more of a Badass.
Blade on a Stick: Being a lance knight this is essentially a must, it helps that he gets an Infinity Minus One Lance and is essentially his trademark weapon.
Bodyguard Crush: On Lachesis in the Oosawa manga.
Crutch Character: In the Second Generation, providing he was leveled up sufficiently before he left in the first half. Lacks Holy Blood of any sort, which equates to a severe disadvantage as far as growth rates are concerned.
Foreshadowing: Hey, guess what all that talk Quan gave Finn about him being an important soldier and telling him not to die was for?
Hot Dad: If paired up.
It's Personal: To Travant in the Second Generation for killing Quan and Ethlyn.
The Lancer: To Quan, a literal one in fact.
Love Martyr: A possible Alternate Character Interpretation for him as a borderline one to for Lachesis, in the Oosawa manga. Even if not, the scene where he brings Lachesis back from the Despair Event Horizon by stabbing himself with the Earth Sword and almost bleeding to death on her raises one or three eyebrows. Fortunately, they both get better.
Luke, I Am Your Father: Is this to his daughter (most likely Nanna, if we take the mangas and Thracia 776 in consideration, but he also has a talk like this with Lana and Lakche) if he had a lover in the First Generation. Interestingly enough, he never gets to talk to his son.
- That MAY be a throw-back to how Delmud (the older brother of Nanna, who is his daughter if we follow Thracia 776 and the mangas) may not be his son, but Beowolf's. Not an excuse in the case of Leonster, Skasaher or other boys though.
Manly Tears: He cries when he meets Altena for the first time in years, and then she thanks him for having taken care of Leif.
Older Than They Look: In the Second Generation, he's in his mid 30s and a year older then Oifey (who does look his age), but despite that, he looks about 20.
Parental Substitute: To Leif. And Nanna, if he's not her father.
Second Love: In the Oosawa manga, to Lachesis after Eldigan kicks it.
Sex Equals Love: Justified Trope though: they hook up and go through Their First Time the night before he leaves Silesse alongside Quan and Ethlyn. And we all know what happens afterwards. Even more so, in that particular continuity... it's also the time where they conceive Diarmuid. May also qualify in the game timeline. Since Diarmuid is the older sibling, Beowolf is most likely Lachesis' first lover. Since Beowulf was "in the way", he was left out of the manga. Given Beowolf's last conversation with Lachesis though, she may had never truly loved him since she was too hung up on her brother, and he became aware of it so he let her go. After Beowolf's death, she probably fled to Leonster and had Nanna with Finn, and they raised her alongside Finn's ward Leif. She then disappears when she crosses the desert back to get her son.
Undying Loyalty: To the House of Leonster, and specially Quan.

Midir (Midayle, Middir, Mideel)

A knight of Jungby who attempted to protect Edain from the Verdane forces, but was defeated by Prince Munnir. Upon reclaiming Jungby Castle, he is found by Sigurd and accompanies him into Verdane to rescue Edain.

Class: Bow Knight

Bodyguard Crush: On Edain.
Dude Looks Like a Lady: A common reaction new players of the game get from him, to the point it gets milked for all its worth in the Nuts Fujimori manga: both Gandolf and Oifaye mistake him as an attractive girl at first.
Horse Archer: Given his class.
Hostage Situation: In both the Fujimori and the Oosawa mangas, the Verdane forces use the injured Midir as a Dude in Distress when Sigurd and co come Storming the Castle. In what could've been a Dying Moment of Awesome, both media have Midir openly tell Sigurd to go on and save Edain no matter what happens to him. And in both, Azelle steps in and saves him.
Hot Dad: If paired up.
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: In the Nuts Fujimori manga, he believes he won't be good enough for Edain part because of his lower lineage, partly because he failed to protect her against Munnir, and asks Azelle to take her hand and make her happy. Azelle ultimately responds with a I Want My Beloved to Be Happy of his own, and forces Midir to go to Edain and become a couple with her.
Mood Whiplash: His confrontation with Munnir in the Nuts Fujimori manga reeks of this. First, he appears all cool to defend poor Adean, then drops a bridget on Munnir who thinks he's a girl, and the action remains more or less comical until Munnir almost kills him and leaves him to bleed to death while he takes a panicking Edain away.
Second Love: If you pair him with someone else, specially her older sister Brigid. Which upsets Brigid quite a bit, as she openly wonders if their hook-up is based on Loving a Shadow.

Brigid: Look, Midir. I know you used to like Edain. Do you think you'll be happy with me?

Lady Edain of Jungby (Eideen, Edin, Aideen, Adean)

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

Class: Priest
Holy blood: Ulir [Minor]

Adrenaline Makeover: In the Fujimori manga, she dons more practical clothes and ties her hair down in a ponytail... coincidentally looking like a younger version of her twin Brigid's "other self" Eyvel.
Armor-Piercing Slap: Gives an awesome one to Munnir in the Nuts Fujimori manga.
Big Damn Heroes: Pulls this in the Oosawa manga, healing a seriously injured Azelle right after she and Dew escape.
Bouquet Toss: Gets it during Sigurd and Deirdre's wedding in the Nuts Fujimori manga. And she then becomes the next girl to get paired in the story.
Different As Night and Day: With Brigid.
Distress Ball: Is whacked with one at the beginning.
Generation Xerox: If she's paired up, her daughter Lana will be very similar to her. Lampshaded by Finn if he's her dad.
Go Through Me: In the Oosawa manga, she goes Dangerously Genre Savvy and tries to stop Jamka from fighting by directly stepping in between the armies, hoping her Ulir blood will get her luck up. The Verdane archers shoot her, much to Jamke's horror, but their arrows barely graze her cheek. She doesn't even flinch, and manages to recruit Jamke for their cause.
Hello, Nurse!: Very, very popular with males.
Hot Mom: Of Lana and Lester.
Rescue Romance: If paired up with Jamke, who bats the Distress Ball away from her.
Silk Hiding Steel: Does not rely on fighting skills and does not need to. And apparently, she used to be training as a knight before donning a cleric's robes.
Team Mom: Gen 2, although she doesn't actually appear.
White Magician Girl: She became this to better search for her sister.
Woman in White: As a cleric.

Dew (Deu)

A thief caught and imprisoned by Jamke in an attempt to steal from Verdane's Castle Marpha, he was released by Jamke along with Edain and protected her on the way back to Sigurd, staying with the crew from then.

Class: Theif

Distress Ball: In-story, not in gameplay. He was a mere thief who was caught stealing treasures by Jamke, who then pardoned him but only if he became Edain's escort in exchange.
Ephebophile: He's quite a bit younger than several of his love interests... though not a pre-pubescent boy either. The Oosawa manga makes him around 13-14.
Fragile Speedster: He's very good at dodging, but if he does get hit, you should be careful.
Getting Crap Past the Radar: His love talk with Lachesis.

Dew: Everyone's been sayin' that crap. I'm not a kid anymore!
Lachesis: I can definitely vouch for that, Dew. Heheh... Especially after what we...
Dew: H-hey! You're gettin' red there, girl!

Hair of Gold
Hot Dad: If paired up.
Keet: He's rather cheerful.
Nice Guy: Despite being a thief, he's rather friendly, even cheering Edain up in the Fujimori manga.
Shipper on Deck: Diehard Edain/Midir shipper in the Fujimori manga.
Trickster: Come on, he's a thief.

Princess Ayra of Isaach (Ira, Aira)

The princess of Isaach, taking refuge in Verdane from her country's war to protect her young half-nephew Prince Shannan upon request of her brother, Crown Prince Mariccle. Verdane's Prince Cimbaeth forced her to fight for Verdane by holding Shannan hostage, but once Shannan was rescued by Sigurd, she joined the Chalphy army following the downfall of Castle Genoa.

Class: Swordfighter
Holy blood: Odo [Minor]

Action Girl: One of the most notable swordfighters in the franchise and the prototype for the "fast female myrmidon" archetype: she is a powerful unit with a unique skill that often makes her one of the best physical units in the first generation. Lyn, Eirika, Mia, Severa, they all owe a lot to Ayra.
Atop a Mountain of Corpses: Variation in the Nuts Fujimori manga. She beats up Cimbaeth's whole squad to prove him of her strength, and creates a mountain of it, but doesn't stand on top of it in the end.
Cool and Unusual Punishment: In the Nuts Fujimori manga, she has a few in reserve for Cimbaeth...
Hot Amazon
Hot Chick with a Sword: Oh hell yes.
Hot Mom: Of Lakche and Skasaher.
- Generation Xerox: Lakche is as pretty and strong as she is, and this is lampshaded by Finn if he's her father.
Love At First Punch: With Lex, if they hook up.
Mama Bear: An aunt variety to little Shannan.
Parental Substitute: To Shannan, upon orders of his father/her brother Prince Mariccle. She becomes his devoted protector and Auntie Bear.
Plucky Girl
Shipper on Deck: Yet another Finn and Lachesis shipper in the Oosawa manga.
Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
Tsundere: Type A towards Lex, both in-game in their conversations and in the Oosawa manga.
Victorious Childhood Friend: In the Nuts Fujimori manga, she gets hooked with Holyn. It takes her a lot of time before finally remembering his face in her dreams of her childhood.

Prince Jamke of Verdane (Jamuka, Jamka)

A Prince of Verdane, the younger brother of Cimbaeth and Munnir. Kinder than his brothers, he is the only member of the royal family not under the sway of Sandima. He frees Edain and Dew before departing to confront his father, and is later convinced by Edain to defect to Sigurd's army.

Class: Bow Fighter

The Archer: As a bow fighter, this is what he brings to the table for your army. In the Oosawa manga, he and his group of bow knights are noted to be the only section of the country's army that isn't made up of ruffians.
Badass Normal: A solid unit who comes in with one of the best bows in the game, and the only royalty character without any holy blood.
Bad Dreams: In the Oosawa manga, he keeps having a nightmare in which Edain is shot to death by his arrows. He has an Heroic BSOD when it seems to come true, but Edain is unharmed except for a cut in her cheek, and he defects.
Cain and Abel: His brothers Cimbaeth and Munnir (who was already pretty bad) fell under Sandima's control.
- Strangely, one of the later guides calls them his uncles despite Jamke and Munnir calling each other brother.
Facial Markings. A beauty mark of sorts in his forehead. In the Nuts Fujimori manga, he inherited it from his mother.
Hot Dad: If paired up.
Only Sane Man: For being the only one willing to see that Sandima is just using Verdane.
Rebel Prince: Subverted: he only rebels when Sandima takes control of the Verdane royal family, but he still loves his old man no matter what and isn't happy to go against him.
Tall, Dark and Handsome
You Killed My Father: He's righteously pissed at Sandima for corrupting and then murdering his father.

Deirdre (Diadora, Dierdre)

A mysterious girl living in the Spirit Forest of Verdane. She and Sigurd instantly fall in love upon meeting, marrying shortly after the suppression of Verdane. She is later kidnapped by Manfroy of the Loptyr Cult... and brainwashed into becoming the wife of Arvis of Velthomer. She is the daughter of Grandbell's Prince Kurth and Cigyun, the former wife of Victor of Velthomer; as such, she possessed both the blood of the Divine Dragon God Naga and of the Dark God Loptous. She gives birth to three children: Seliph, with Sigurd, and the twins Julius and Julia, with Arvis; Julius's birth, and his resultant possession of full Loptous blood, inherited from both Deirdre and Arvis, was key to the schemes of Manfroy and the Loptyr Cult.

Class: Shaman
Holy blood: Naga [Major], Loptous [Minor]

Brother-Sister Incest: When Brainwashed and Crazy into marrying her half brother Arvis.
Damsel in Distress
Dying Moment of Awesome: Deirdre uses her last moments to save Yuria from the crazed Julius, teleporting the girl away with her Warp staff before dying.

Deirdre: "Julia... you must survive..."

Facial Markings: Had one on her forehead, which she hid with her circlet. It came from her major Naga/Heim blood.
Girl in the Tower: Or better said, Girl In The Forest. Like her Missing Mom Cigyun, since their kids would be potential vessels for Loptous.
Heroic Bastard: Deirdre was the illegitimate daughter of Lady Cigyun of Velthomer and Prince Kurth. Cigyun fell to Death by Childbirth, Kurth never knew about her and died several years later (or, in the Oosawa manga, died right after learning of her existence).
Hot Mom: Of Celice, Yurius and Yuria. She even looks the same when both are grown as seen in the attract mode.
Housewife: To the Lord of Chalphy. Lampshaded when, in the Oosawa manga, she's kidnapped while defending one of the conquered castles.
Hypnotize the Princess: One of the most dramatic and successful examples ever.
Love At First Sight: With Sigurd.
Non-Lethal KO: Every time she "dies", she'll come back at the end of the chapter, unscathed because the enemy merely captured her. Justified Trope though: the bad guys NEED her alive and well in order to marry to her half-brother and thus create an evil god.
Rags to Riches: From a young girl who lived in the forest and had no idea that she was a Fallen Princess, to the loving wife of the future Lord of Chalphy, and then to the mindwiped Crown Princess/Empress of Grannvale.
Rescue Romance: With Sigurd.
Together in Death: When her and Sigurd's souls meet with Seliph.
White Magician Girl: Pretty decent staff user.
Woman in White: How she appears in artwork.

Chulainn (Holyn, Holin)

A gladiator found as the strongest opponent in Castle Evans' pit, and joins the group once he's defeated. He is a distant relative of the House of Isaach.

Class: Swordfighter
Holy blood: Odo [Minor]

Defeat Means Friendship: He's the last fighter in the Evans castle's arena, and once he's defeated, he joins the group. Note that this only happens when you clear it out for the first time, and he doesn't appear later.
Fallen Princess: Implied. His father is the lord of Sophara, but we see him as a fighter in an arena, and in the Second Generation, Sophara is under Iucharba's command, and nobody knows what happened to Chulainn's dad...
Hair of Gold: Which is actually kinda odd, as he's from Isaach and yet pretty much every Isaachian we meet is black-haired save for him and Galzus.
Hot Dad: If paired up.
Kissing Cousins: With Ayra if you hook them up.
Money, Dear Boy: Used to be his motivation, until you recruited him.

"You've got some serious spirit in your attack. Obviously, you're not here for the money. Cash has been my motivator all these years... But after seeing you it kinda loses its meaning. You mind if I tag along? It'd be nice to fight for something real for a change."

Rebel Prince
Stalker with a Crush: Arguably towards Ayra, though he doesn't pressure her into marrying him.
Victorious Childhood Friend: To Ayra, if you hook them up.
- Unlucky Childhood Friend: If not.

Princess Lachesis of Nordion (Raquesis, Rackesis)

The willful and hotblooded princess of Nordion, who holds her brother Eldigan in the utmost regard.

Class: Princess
Holy blood: Hezul [Minor]

Action Girl/White Mage
Awesome Moment of Crowning: Gets one in the Oosawa manga, after Eldigan dies and both Ares and his mom go to Leonster for safety. Doubles as her promotion into Master Knight.
Badass Princess: She's both an Action Girl and White Mage. Oh yeah, and the Oosawa manga made her a One Woman Army with some dialogue that is actually quite scary.
Brother-Sister Incest: With Eldigan, whom she admires to the point that she openly declares to not marry anyone who isn't better than him.
- Cranked Up to Eleven in the Oosawa manga, where they actually admit having mutual feelings and hope they'll be able to be lovers in their next lives. And then, he gets killed off.
Despair Event Horizon: She almost reaches it in the Oosawa manga, after she and others find Eldigan's lifeless body. Barely manages to get better thanks to Finn, who at some point has to stop her from cutting herself with the Earth Sword that Eldigan gave her, since it heals her injuries and thus she can harm self all that she wants.
Go Through Me: To stop Eltshan's fight with Sigurd. Made even more dramatic in the Oosawa manga.
Hair of Gold: May be picky and all, but she's not a bad person.
Hot Mom: Of Nanna and Delmud. The less said about the dad, the better.
Magikarp Power: And it's super easy to get her to level 20 thanks to her healing abilities.
Parental Substitute: Accrding to Thracia 776, Leif thought of her as such when he was a child.
Tomboy Princess: Wields a sword, dresses less femininely than most of the other noblewomen, and refuses to marry anyone that doesn't meet the standard comparable to Eldigan.
Well, Excuse Me, Princess!: Particulary in her Nuts Fujimori manga portrayal.
Zettai Ryouiki

Beowolf (Beowulf)

A Conote mercenary partnered with Voltz, hired by Macbeth of Agustria to hold off Sigurd. He is convinced to side with Sigurd... for a small fee. He claims to be an old friend of Eldigan, though how true his claim is is up in the air.

Class: Free Knight

Forgotten Fallen Friend: His mercenary friend Voltz.
Hot Dad: If paired up. And not only to his son and daughter in Seisen, but to Felgus of Thracia 776. But Felgus is an Heroic Bastard, so...
Punch Clock Hero: A mercenary whose attitude towards fighting his old friend (should you choose to do that) is, basically, que sera sera (not that Voltz feels any different, mind you).

Prince Lewyn of Silesse (Levin, Levn)

Silesse's errant prince, travelling the world. He is present in Agustria during Sigurd's conflict with it, travelling with Silvia, and sides with Sigurd. After dying at the hands of Manfroy some time after the Battle of Belhalla, he was revived by the god Forseti and later served as an advisor to Seliph.

Class: Bard
Holy blood: Holsety [Major]

Back from the Dead: He did die after Belhalla, but Forseti itself revived him... at the cost of giving him Laser-Guided Amnesia.
Blow You Away: As a descendant of Forseti, he specializes in Wind magic. He starts with Elwind and eventually gets Forseti.
But Now I Must Go: At the end of the Second Generation. Many believe that he actually does die, as he got a lease on life via Forseti and now his mission is fulfilled.
Hot Dad: If paired up. In Thracia 776 and the mangas, however, his kids are Fee and Sety, meaning his Hot Mom companion is Ferry.
King Incognito: Hides how he's the prince of Silesse.
Man in White: A priestly version, as usual in Fire Emblem.
Modest Royalty: In his own words: in the Second Generation though.

"Seliph, I don't care what Oifey may have told you. Don't EVER address me as 'King Lewyn' again. Got it?"

Nice Hat: Or again, nice headdress. He ditches it in the Second Generation.
Parental Substitute: To a young and amnesiac Julia.
Parents as People: With his kids, and specially his daughters. It depends heavily on who his wife was: he's pretty harsh to Erinys's daughter Fee, acts somewhat gentler to Silvia's daughter Lene, and cries when he talks to Tailtiu's daughter Tine.
Rebel Prince: Is dead set against taking Silesse's throne until midway through Chapter 4.
Sand in My Eyes: If he is Arthur and Tine's dad, the latter will make him cry when telling him about Tailtiu's Kill the Cutie deal.

Tine: Lewyn... are you okay?
Lewyn: Huh? Why do you ask?
Tine: I don't know. It kinda looks like you're crying.
Lewyn: No, I'm... it's... it must just be sweat. It's nothing...

Stealth Mentor: Word of God says he was one for Tailtiu's son Arthur. Which explains why the latter starts with Wind Magic regardless of who his father is despite being of Thrud descent.
The Strategist: Second Generation. Since Oifey is now a capable fighter, Lewyn takes up the role he had as a child.
Team Dad: In the Second Generation. He doesn't have a lot of interaction with his actual children, however.
Trickster: First Generation.
Wandering Minstrel: Subverted: he's only using a bard disguise at first.

Silvia (Sylvia)

A dancer who travels Jugdral to use her skills to help the suffering. During her travels, she met Lewyn, and is with him in Agustria during its fight with Sigurd.

Class: Dancer
Holy blood: Blaggi [Minor]

Abusive Parents: Her stepfather, who taught her how to dance but subjected her to Corporal Punishment if she failed to meet his standards.
Bare Your Midriff: Part (or rather, not) of her dancer's outfit.
Because You Were Nice to Me: In the Oosawa manga, she explains to Erinys that Lewyn was the first person in her travels who treated her well, thus she fell for him due to his kindness.
Big Breasts, Big Deal/Gag Boobs:
- A-Cup Angst: The Oosawa manga goes the other way though.

Lewyn: That self-confidence can't come from your breasts, that's for sure. You flat-chested girl!
Silvia: At least call me slender! *SOB*

Does Not Like Shoes: Depending on the Artist, she either wears sandals or no shoes at all. Notably, Fire Emblem Heroes went with the "completely barefoot" interpretation.
Genki Girl: Deconstructed, as she ends up as a a Broken Bird years later.
Hooker with a Heart of Gold: Strongly implied by her dialogue with Lewyn in her initial appearance.
- Double Entendre:

Lewyn: Alright, you can come with me if you want. But things might get a little rough. You okay with that?
Silvia: Yeah! I like it rough!

Hot Mom: Of Leen and Corpul.
Kissing Cousins: It's heavily implied that she and Claud are brother and sister (mostly due to their shared Bragi blood and the fact that he mentions that he has a long-lost sister who would be about her age), though Word of God says they are just distant cousins.
Mouthy Kid: Is already 14 (16 in the Oosawa manga), but comes off as this sometimes.
Spoony Bard: Though she can use swords.
The Tease: She can flirt shamelessly with several men. In fact, her first in-game talk with Alec had them cheerfully flirting with each other.

Erinys (Ferry, Fury)

A Silessen pegasus knight searching for Prince Lewyn, looking to bring him home.

Class: Pegasus Knight

Action Girl
Badass Normal: She's the only woman in the first generation to lack any kind of Holy Blood, and one of the few playable characters in the game that isn't a Second Generation replacement that lacks Holy Blood. She still is a strong unit who serves as the sole flier utility in the First Generation as well.
Bodyguard Crush: On Lewyn, though she can be paired with any first gen male other than Sigurd or Quan.
Heel Face Turn: She's tricked into believing that Lewyn is about to be executed by Sigurd, so Levn has to talk her outta it.
Heroic BSOD: When Annand dies.

Erinys: Huh!? My sister was... No! It can't be true! Ooooh! Please! Someone tell me it's not true!!

The High Queen: After Queen Rahna's death and Lewyn's disappearance, Erinys becomes the Queen of Silesse (only if you pair her with Lewyn, in the original game; in Thracia 776 and the manga, it's set in stone canon). According to Ced, she was a Reasonable Authority Figure and very compassionate: "She never could turn a blind eye when somebody was in trouble."
Hot Mom: Of Fee and Ced.
Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: If you pair her with Arden.
The Ingenue: Has some traits, specially in regards to how gullible she can be sometimes.
Lady of War: She's one of the Four Angelic Knights of Silesse, and the only one you can recruit.
Oblivious to Love: Her love interests have to spell "I love you" to her. Double if it's Lewyn.
Quirky Miniboss Squad: The squad she leads to Evans in Chapter 2 gets developed as this in the Nuts Fujimori manga, with all members given a name, face and personnality: Tino, the youngest member, a Genki Girl in unrequited love with Erinys; Aurora, sweet childfood friend and Straight Man to Tino; Psyche, a strong and cheerful girl who loves to eat; and Jeremiah, the Cool Big Sis of the squad and Erinys' Lancer.
Tender Tears: Is said to cry a lot in the Oosawa manga.
Unlucky Childhood Friend/Victorious Childhood Friend: Depending on whether or not you pair her with Lewyn in Seisen. Thracia 776 and the mangas do make her the latter though.
The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask: She did what she could as the Silessen Queen (in the manga and Thracia 776), but ultimately died of illness while waiting for her hubby to return.

Tailtiu of Friege (Tailto, Tiltyu, Taillte)

The youngest child of Friege's Duke Reptor. She is an admirer of Father Claud, and accompanied him to Bragi Tower.

Class: Thunder Mage
Holy blood: Tordo [Minor]

Black Magician Girl: Frieges are usually thunder mages.
Bokukko: Her speech patterns are more boyish than the other girls's.
Break the Cutie: After Belhalla, her brother abducts her and her daughter and forces them to return to Friege, where they're abused by his wife Hilda. Ultimately Kill the Cutie, when she succumbed to illness due to said abuse and then died a broken woman.
Cain and Abel: Her older brother Bloom.
Genki Girl: In the first part, mostly. Then things got worse.
Glass Cannon: At low health she activates her skill Wrath where all her attacks will be Critical Hits. At that point, she will be able to kill most enemies in one shot... but will also be killed by pretty much anything that hits her.
Hot Mom: Of Arthur and Tine.
Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter: The good daughter of Reptor. The eldest of the two, actually: the younger is Ethnia.
Magic Knight: As a Mage Fighter, she can use swords and magic.
Mama Bear: Even in her lowest times, whenever Hilda threatened little Tine, she gathered what was left of her spunk and willingly took punishment so her girl would be physically untouched.
Rebellious Princess: She knows her father is Sigurd's enemy. She joins his army anyway... though she was at first hesitant on being unwelcome in the team. She got over it quickly.
Shock and Awe: As a Thrud descendant, she is highly specialized in Thunder magic, in which she could only wield Thunder magic at her base class.
Stepford Smiler: Looks cheerful and plucky, but fears she'll be branded as a traitor. And after Belhalla... her fears come true.
Take Care of the Kids: Each one of her lover's talks will involve this in one sense or another.
Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Ethnia's Girly Girl.
Tomboyish Ponytail: Most of the other women wear their hair loose, but childish and plucky Tailtiu has hers up.
Tsundere: A Type A.
Unlucky Childhood Friend/Victorious Childhood Friend: Depending on whether or not you pair her with Azelle or Lex.
White-Haired Pretty Girl: Which is actually a family trait, since Crusader Tordo's descendants generally have silvery hair.
Woman in White

Father Claud of Edda (Claude)

Edda's ruler, who travelled to Bragi Tower to pray and learn of the truth of the circumstances of Prince Kurth's death. Accompanied by Tailtiu, the two are cornered by the pirates of Orgahill upon departure.

Class: High Priest
Holy blood: Blaggi [Major]

Dead Little Sister: He had a younger sister who disappeared when they were young. Said sister may be Silvia.
- The databooks try to dispel it by saying they're "distant cousins" instead. Huh.
Face Death with Dignity: He clearly knows he'll die at Belhalla, but decides to go anyway because You Can't Fight Fate. See his lover's talk with Edain.
Hair of Gold
Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He's got the longest hair of any man in the army, and he has delicate features.
Man in White: Like most male clerics in Fire Emblem, he wears pure white robes.
Nice Guy: A very gentlemanly man.
Princely Young Man: Of the Yamato Nadeshiko type.
Spirit Advisor: In Thracia 776, his disciple Sleuf can invoke his spirit for guidance.
White Mage: He joins as a healer, and his family's relic is a staff that resurrects the dead.

Brigid (Briggid, Bridget, Bridgette)

The leader of the Orgahill pirates, abducted and raised by them at a very young age. She is the missing daughter of Jungby's Lord Ring and the twin sister of Edain. The pirates turn on her with dissatisfaction at her style of leadership, and she is reunited with Edain. She somehow survives the Berhalla Massacre, albeit without her memories, and eventually turns up in the distant Fiana Village under the name Eyvel...

Class: Sniper
Holy blood: Ulir [Major]

Action Girl
The Archer
Broken Bird: She's distressed to learn that the man who raised her wasn't her real father, and her conversation with Sigurd has her seemingly resigned to him killing her.
Cain and Abel: Her younger brother Andrey killed her father for the inheritance.
Hot Amazon
Hot Mom: Of Patty and Febail.
Hair of Gold
Just Like Robin Hood: As a pirate.

"Dobarl, enough! I won't allow any such nonsense! I've got a creed to uphold, and pilfering is no part of it. We Orgahill Pirates are known for giving to the poor, not taking from them!"

The Ladette: Due to her upbringing as a pirate.
Loving a Shadow: If she hooks up with either Jamke or Midir, she will deeply fear that they only love her for being the twin sister of Edain. Both of them will dispell her of said beliefs in their last love talk.
Pirate Girl: Was kidnapped as a child by type 2 pirates, but the leader grew fond of her and raised her as his kid and the future leaderess of the group. Though sadly she's not in the pirate class, who seem to be Always Male in Fire Emblem.
Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Edain's Girly Girl.
Trauma-Induced Amnesia: She survived Barhara, but was memory-wiped afterwards. She took up the name "Eyvel", and we see her as a playable character in Thracia 776. Her Thracia 776 ending says she recovered her memories in the end and was reunited with Patty and Febail.

2nd Generation Playable Characters (fixed)

Seliph (Celice, Serlis)

Class: Junior Lord
Holy blood: Baldo [Major] Naga [minor]

The son of Sigurd, and The Hero of the second part. A shy but strong-willed boy with huge sword-fighting abilities and a gentle heart, he's now the hope of hundreds of people who see him as the one who can end the tyranny of Grannvale.

Badass: After his promotion he's just powerful as Sigurd.
Badass Long Hair: Not as long-haired as Shannan, but just as badass.
The Chosen One: Subverted. This is what the people think he is, but Seliph genuinely wasn't chosen by a god or a prophecy. He knew about his heritage and all, then decided that he'd had enough of Grannvale's tyranny and chose to stop hiding and start kicking arse up and down the land until he changed things.
Humble Hero: He continually downplays his own importance.
Mage Killer: Once he gets the Tyrfing.
Nice Guy: A very pleasant young man who is friendly and welcoming to those who express interest in fighting alongside him. Cranked Up to Eleven in the Nea Fuyuki manga, where he extends his hand to Ares even as Ares is trying to kill him and has him cornered at the edge of a cliff.
She Is Not My Girlfriend: In regards to Julia, after she's captured by Manfroy.

Lewyn: You're worried about Julia, aren't you... You really like her, don't you...
Seliph:No, I'm just worried about her.

Shy Blue-Haired Girl: He's something of a male version at the beginning.
You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Inherited from his dad.

Oifey (Oifaye)

Class: Paladin
Holy blood: Baldo [Minor]

Sigurd's cousin and Shannan's best friend, we meet him in Part 1 as a sweet boy who worked as The Strategist for the good guys. After the Time Skip, we meet an Older and Wiser Oifey who helped raise Seliph and the other children, trained Diarmuid in swordplay, and is now a strong fighter.

Badass Moustache: Grows one in the Second Generation.
Crutch Character: Unlike his predecessors Jagen and Arran, he remains useful throughout the entire game.
Cosplay Otaku Girl: In the Fujimori manga.
Dropped a Bridget On Him: Gets hit by this regarding Midayle in the Nuts Fujimori manga. He still finds him irresistibly attractive even after this revelation.
He's All Grown Up: The cute little strategist from the First Generation is now a very badass Paladin.
Keet: Very much so in the Fujimori manga.
Man in White: First generation he wears all white.
Master of Disguise: Tries to be this in the Nuts Fujimori manga, but repeatedly and hilariously fails at this.
May–December Romance: A mild case happens if he gets paired up with anyone. Fee seems to be quite smitten with him, to start...
Meido: In the Nuts Fujimori manga, this is one of his favourite disguises.
Parental Substitute: Helped Edain to raise Seliph and the other kids. In the epilogue, Seliph explicitly says that he was like a father to him.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Takes over the Dukedom of Chalphy after Seliph is crowned Emperor and Shannan becomes King of Isaach.
The Strategist: Was this as a boy. Then he grew up and Took a Level in Badass, thus Lewyn takes his role.
Survivor Guilt: He's pretty beat about abandoning Sigurd and leaving him to die in the First Generation.
Team Dad: He offers stern advice and training to several of the kids.
Undying Loyalty: To Sigurd and Seliph.

Julia (Yuria)

Class: Shaman
Holy blood: Naga [Major], Fala [Minor]

A sweet and shy girl around Seliph's age, who is brought by Lewyn in the group. She has amnesia and has forgotten a good part of her past, but can handle staves and magic tomes well. She is actually Seliph's half-sister, Julia's twin sister and Deirdre's daughter with Arvis, as well as the one holding major Naga blood in this generation.

Black Magician Girl: Give her the right spellbook, and she'll become an absolute Game Breaker.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Manfroy does this to her and forces her to fight against Seliph's army. This also has the purpose of keeping her Naga power from threatening Julius.
Brother-Sister Incest: Subverted, as she and Seliph have a negative love growth. However, it is possible to pair them anyway if you exploit the "Jealousy" system via strategic placing of Larcei and Lana, but this only works if you don't reset the game at all after Chapter 5 (or if you keep them pretty much "glued" to each others's sides until she gets kidnapped).
Magical Girl Warrior
Non-Lethal KO: If she gets killed off in battle, once the stage is over, she'll be found by Seliph in the recently-taken castle. Again, a Justified Trope: as the Princess of Grannvale, the Grannvale enemies won't kill her, and the Thracian enemies presumably want to use her as a hostage.
White Magician Girl: No matter what spellbook you give her, she'll always handle staves well.
Woman in White: Dresses this way in her artwork.

Iuchar (Johan)

Class: Axe Knight
Holy blood: Neir [Minor]

The second of the three sons of Danann, the ruler of Isaach and heir of Neir. A mounted axe warrior with a crush on Larcei and a somewhat kinder disposition than his dad. Sadly, he does NOT get along with Iucharba, his youngest brother; therefore, he can't be recruited if you reach for Iucharba first.

An Axe to Grind: Bonuses for being a mounted axe fighter.
Bad Boss: One of his soldier's claims that he treats them "like dogs", though its not known how seriously this was meant.
Cain and Abel: With Iucharba and Brian.
Chivalrous Pervert: Tries to woo Larcei/Creidne with Purple Prose if she comes recruit him. She will tell him to cut it out.
Even Evil Has Standards: Neither he nor Iucharba support the child hunts.
Hachimaki: A blue (and sometimes white) one.
Heel Face Turn: If recruited by Larcei or Creidne.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Not as openly as Iucharba, but people still note how he's not as bad as his older relatives.
Purple Prose: He even waxes it out when he dies!

Iuchar (as an enemy): Ahh... The virtuous rebel army has defeated me... Larcei/Creidne, our love is eternal...
Iuchar (as an ally): Though Iuchar dies, love will never... Guhaa...

Shallow Love Interest: To Larcei/Creidne, Played for Laughs.
Something About a Rose: In most illustrations.

Iucharba (Johalva, Johalvier)

Class: Axe Fighter
Holy blood: Neir [Minor]

The third and youngest of the sons of Danann, the ruler of Sophara and heir of Neir. Also an axe warrior and very Hot-Blooded. Too bad he doesn't get along with Iuchar; therefore, he can't be recruited if you reach for Iuchar first.

An Axe to Grind: On foot, unlike his brother.
Cain and Abel: He's on terrible terms with his older siblings Iuchar and Brian.
Even Evil Has Standards: Doesn't hurt kids or women, unlike the rest of Danann's troops. And neither of the brothers like the child hunts.
Hachimaki: A green one.
Heel Face Turn: If recruited by Larcei or Creidne.
Hot-Blooded: He's very enthusiastic about beating his brother in their quest for Larcei's hand.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold:

"He acts like a bad guy, but is honourable deep inside."

Shallow Love Interest: To Larcei/Creidne, played straighter than in Iuchar's case.

Prince Leif of Leonster (Leaf)

Class: Prince
Holy blood: Baldo [Minor], Noba [Minor]

Seliph's paternal cousin and the youngest son of Quan and Ethlyn, raised by Finn in hiding.

Ascended Extra: His later role as The Hero of Thracia 776.
Magikarp Power: Goes from low-level prince to ass-kicking Master Knight.
Man in White
Took a Level in Badass: After his promotion to Master Knight and generally in comparison to how he was in his own game.

Prince Shannan of Isaach (Shanan)

Class: Swordmaster
Holy blood: Odo [Major]

As mentioned above, he's the half-nephew of Ayra and the son of King Mariccle of Isaach, thus he is the rightful heir to the throne occupied by Danann. Raised by Edain alongside the other kids, he is the oldest of the group and has a huge responsibility on his shoulders.

Badass Adorable: Very cruel aversion in the Oosawa manga. We do see the kid beating up adult fighters in the arena, but the rendition of Deirdre's capture is something very different; bless his heart for trying to help, but he gets completely trashed by Manfroy, and it's when Deirdre tries to save him that she lowers her defense enough for Manfroy to get at her.
Badass Long Hair: Long, dark Rapunzel Hair that reaches his hips.
Chick Magnet: Patty, Daisy, Creidne, Larcei...
Dude in Distress: First Generation. Justified Trope due to his extreme youth.
Failure Knight: Driven to be strong since he failed to keep Deirdre from being kidnapped and then Brainwashed and Crazy.
Generation Xerox: When grown up, he looks exactly like his Hot Dad Mariccle. Seriously!
May–December Romance: A May September case happens if he gets paired up with anyone. Specially with Larcei, which doubles as Kissing Cousins as she is the daughter of his half-aunt Ayra.
Rebel Prince: Leader of the resistence against Isaach's tyrannical government in the Second Generation. And he's crowned as King of Isaach if he makes it to the end of the game.
Tall, Dark and Handsome: He's got the looks, and several of the Second Generation girls are smitten with him.
- He's All Grown Up: The adorable little boy from the First Generation is now a Badass Long Hair.

Ares (Aless)

Class: Cavalier
Holy blood: Hezul [Major]

Son of Eldigan and Lachesis' nephew, and the holder of the major Hezul blood.

Black Knight
Fallen Princess: Was raised by a mercenary named Javarro after Nordion fell, his dad was executed, and his mom was killed when Leonster also was invaded. If he makes it to the end of the game, he returns to Agustria so he can take over and reconstruct it.
Fire-Forged Friends: With Seliph, once they sort the Sins of Our Fathers issues out.
Kissing Cousins: Since he's the son of Eldigan, this happens if he's paired with Lachesis' daughter Nanna.
Mage Killer: The Mystletainn gives him a substantial resistance boost.
Tragic Keepsake: Aside of the Mystletainn? A letter from Eldigan that Lachesis gave to Nanna before leaving. She gives it to him as proof of how Sigurd and Eldigan never were enemies.

Princess Altena of Thracia (Altenna)

Class: Dragon Knight
Holy blood: Noba [Major], Baldo [Minor]

The princess of Leonster as well as Quan and Ethlyn's daughter and Leif's older sister. Raised by the killer of her parents, Travant, she appears as an enemy but soon starts having doubts about her mission and heritage. Thus she can be swayed to your side...

Action Girl
Anti-Villain: Until she's recruited.
Blade on a Stick: Her Gáe Bolg lance.
Broken Bird
Dragon Rider: Being raised in Thracia, the land of wyvern knights, results in this. And one of the only two flying units in generation two, to boot.
Lady of War: She comes across as very mature and graceful.
Long Lost Sibling: To Leif, though she doesn't know it. He can reveal this to her, plant the seeds of doubt in her heart (leading her to call out Trabant), and make her pull a Heel Face Turn.
Not Blood Siblings: Heavily implied that she and Areone are lovers. The fact that she can't be paired up with anyone else in your army supports this.
Not Quite Dead: Areone only knocks her out instead of killing her, when she confronts Travant on his murder of her parents.
Star-Crossed Lovers: With Areone, due to him being engaged to Linoan and the whole deal with Travant.
Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
You Killed My Parents: To Travant, mixed with Calling the Old Man Out.

Hannibal

Class: General

The most powerful general of the Thracian kingdom, and a noble and just person who is very well-loved. Unfortunately, his boss King Travant has caught on his intentions...

Cool Old Guy: While his exact age is unclear, he's definitely much older then everyone else as evidenced by the wrinkles on his portrait.
Married to the Job: According to a villager.
Mighty Glacier: He's quite strong (and his class grants him the Great Shield skill, which prevents the enemy's attack from doing any damage upon activation), but he doesn't have a lot of movement.

2nd Generation Playable Characters (Children)

Children of Edain

Lana (Rana)

Holy blood:^[1] Ulir [Minor]

The daughter of Edain, and a quite powerful healer. As strongwilled as she's kind, she's among the first who joins Seliph's quest.

Plucky Girl: When Seliph tells her "nuns and warfare DO NOT MIX", she stands her ground and refuses to leave. Seliph admits he's wrong and lets her join.

Lana: "Nuns can fight too, you know. I feel just as strongly about this as Larcei does. The imperial troops are becoming crueler with each passing day. It's dangerous just to be a girl anymore! But I don't plan to go down without a fight. I have my own means of warfare!"

Silk Hiding Steel: Like her mom.

Gender Blender Name: His name is derived from the female warrior Scathach of Irish mythology.
Knight Templar Big Brother: In the Nea Fuyuki manga, he does not take well to Iuchar and Iucharba's moves towards Larcei, and makes it clear to them with a murderous atmosphere.

Fragile Speedster: As per her class.

Ced (Sety)

Class: Sage
Holy blood:^[1] None ^[5]

Erinys' son, Fee's brother, and an extremely powerful magic user. He is considered "Ced the Brave" for fighting against the empire.

Calling the Old Man Out: Not as bad as Fee, but he definetly holds a grudge on Lewyn if he's his father
Generation Xerox: To the Crusader Ced himself, as pointed out in Thracia 776.
Heroic Self-Deprecation: Makes a fine work of defending Manster from Thracia, yet believes he hasn't done enough.

"Manster had a great number of children seized and sent to the shrine in Miletos. I was unable to prevent it... I'm no hero, sir. I'm a coward if anything."

Hero of Another Story: In Thracia 776.
Man in White: In some illustrations.
Nice Guy: Particularly if he's paired with Tine.
Red Baron: "Ced the Brave". He doesn't much agree with the title.

Children of Tailtiu

Arthur

Class: Mage
Holy blood:^[1] Tordo [Minor]

The son of Tailtiu, who grew up in Silesse. Managed to escape from the Frieges and learned Wind Magic in spite of his thunder-magic-oriented heritage, and now he's back and has some bones to pick with his own family.

Big Brother Instinct: Towards Tine, especially if you don't pair either and get a special talk event with them in the final chapter.
Disc One Nuke: If you pair Tailtiu with Lewyn, he gets Holsety at the beginning of the Second Generation.
Momma's Boy: A sympathetic example. Having been separated from Tailtiu when he was a little boy, Arthur has his mother's image in a high pedestal and will NOT forgive those who made her and Tine suffer.
Orphan's Plot Trinket: He and Tine have matching pendants given to them by Tailtiu.
Sugar and Ice Personality: Fee refers to him as one.
White-Haired Pretty Boy

Tine (Teeny, Tinny, Tinni)

Class: Mage
Holy blood:^[1] Tordo [Minor]

Arthur's little sister and Tailtiu's daughter. She was raised in a very ill-tempered household, thus despite her high magical skills, she's very insecure and shy.

Action Girl: In a Little Miss Badass kind of way.
Badass Adorable: She's a powerful mage, and she's also the kind of person you just want to hug.
Break the Cutie: Was a witness to all the shit Tailtiu went through. And Tailtiu herself went Mama Bear and willingly took even more of Hilda's crap to protect her, even at her lowest. OUCH!
Let's Get Dangerous: When she goes Inigo Montoya on Hilda.
Mega Twintails: These are almost bigger than her head!
Orphan's Plot Trinket: Her and Arthur's medallions.
Shrinking Violet: Thanks in large part to her abusive aunt.
White-Haired Pretty Girl

Children of Brigid

Patty

Class: Thief
Holy blood:^[1] Ulir [Minor]

Brigid's daughter, who became a thief to help feed the kids of the Orphanage of Love she and her brother Febail were raised in.

Action Girl
Braids of Action: Keeps her Hair of Gold in a long braid.
Fan Girl: Of Shannan, whom she's admired for quite a while. In fact, when he catches her stealing the Balmung and reveals his identity to her, she starts fangirling him right there, and he has to remind her that she's got his sword.
Genki Girl: Every piece of official art depicts her with a big grin; given the faces on the other characters (including her brother's), she rather stands out.
Gold Digger: Portrayed as this in the Nea Fuyuki manga. She comically fails at this, and ultimately can't help but fall in love and hook up with the poor-as-a-church-mouse Lester.
Just Like Robin Hood: When Seliph balks at accepting her stolen funds, she points out that the Imperials are far worse plunderers.
Kissing Cousins: If paired up with Edain's son Lester. Technically Brother-Sister Incest too, since their mothers were identical twins.
Magikarp Power: As a thief, her attack power is low until she promotes.
May–December Romance: If paired with the quite older Shannan.
Nice Hat: Such a cute and HUGE one.
Older Than They Look: A conversation with Coirpre in Chapter 9 suggests this.

Patty: You said I look like a CHILD?!

Parental Substitute: Sorta. She was raised in an orphanage, and became a thief to help feed the kids there. Think of a Cool Big Sis with a part-time job, only said job is theft.
Supreme Chef: Shown as this in all of her Epilogue love talks. The various 4-Koma manga tend to go the other way for Rule of Funny purposes.

Febail (Faval)

Class: Bow Fighter
Holy blood:^[1] Ulir [Major]

Brigid's son with major Ulir blood and huge archery skills. Was tricked into joining Friege's army, so he has to be brought by Patty into the group.

The Archer: The infantry bowman of the Second Generation.
Big Brother Instinct: Do not badmouth Patty or Brigid!

"Yeah, well, I caught a guy making fun of you. He said 'It's no wonder you became a thief with a pirate for a mum.' Of course, I floored the guy for saying that."

Hair of Gold
Kissing Cousins: If paired up with Edain's daughter Lana (who is also Febail's genetic half-sister since their mothers are identical twins).
Hachimaki: A blue one.

Children of Silvia

Lene (Leen, Lynn)

Class: Dancer
Holy blood:^[1] Blaggi [Minor]

A beautiful dancer and Ares's companion and friend. She is the lost daughter of Silvia, raised in a convent and away from her brother Coirpre.

Attempted Rape/Rape as Drama: Strongly hinted that she went through this under Bramsel.
Broken Bird: Can be quite cynical compared to the other girls in the army, and is revealed to have serious abandonment and self-esteem issues.
Does Not Like Shoes: Depicted barefoot in her official art.
Hair Decorations: Pink hairbands.
Long Lost Sibling: To Coirpre.
Mysterious Protector: If her father is Lewyn, she will tell him that she's always felt someone has been watching over her, and wonder if said protector was his dad. Knowing Lewyn... if said story is true, he probably was.
Petite Pride: In her TCG card, she's got rather small boobs. Specially when compared with the more curvy Laylea. She doesn't seem to care.
Rescue Romance: If paired with Ares.
Spoony Bard: Just like her mother. She can rejuvenate other fighters and give them another turn, but she isn't really cut out for combat.
Stripperiffic: Part of her job as a dancer.
Tell Me About My Father: She asks this to Levn in Chapter 10, if he is her and Coirpre's father. He can't say a lot for obvious reasons, but will assure her that her parents love her and will come back for her someday.
Tsundere: Slightly, to Ares.

Coirpre (Corpul, Corple, Cairpre)

Class: Priest
Holy blood:^[1] Blaggi [Minor]

Silvia's youngest kid, who was raised by General Hannibal... and used as a hostage by his father's boss King Travant.

Dude in Distress: Is taken hostage as a means of forcing his adoptive father Hannibal into battle.
Hair of Gold
Late Character Syndrome: Unfortunately, he suffers this as well, so most players deem him not worth the effort (unless his dad is Claud, that is: then he can have the Valkyrie staff and handle healing and reviving while he leaves the Forseti to Ced or Arthur).
Magikarp Power: With Azelle or Lewyn as his father, he can become quite a powerful magic unit.

Second Generation Playable Characters (Replacement Children)

Expy: All of them are expies of the original children, in one way or another. Especially Amid and Linda, since they have holy blood (minor Thurd) as well.
You Killed My Father: In story, their mothers and fathers were retainers and/or warriors associated to Siglud and co (or to Eldigan, since Tristan and Jeanne's Disappeared Dad was one of Eldigan's Cross Knights); they were killed off either during the war of shortly thereafter, so their kids join the Liberation Army for their sake. For Amid and Linda, their dad was killed off... and their mom was Ethnia, Blume and Tailtiu's Dead Little Sister, who was abused by Hilda until she died.

Replacements of Edain's children

Muirne (Mana)

Class: Priest

A civilian girl from Issach who was raised by Seliph, trained (presumably by Edain) in staff use. Replaces Lana if Edain didn't have children.

Brainy Brunette
The Cutie
Plucky Girl: Just like Lana, Muirne dislikes being on the sidelines. She's a little more shy about it though.
Proper Lady: Looks the part well but other parts, not as well.
Star-Crossed Lovers: She angsts a bit regarding her budding love towards Seliph, due to their total opposite social classes. Logically, if you pair them up, this will be subverted.
White Magician Girl

Deimne (Dimna)

Class: Arch Knight

A young archer from Isaac as well as Muirne's brother. Replaces Lester if Edain didn't have children.

Horse Archer: As to be expected of Lester's Expy.
Shrinking Violet: His shyness and inferiority complexes are a constant theme for him.
Tall, Dark and Handsome

Replacements of Ayra's children

Creidne (Radney)

Class: Swordfighter

A beautiful but skittish swordwoman from Isaach, and Seliph's another female friend. Replaces Larcei if Ayra didn't have children.

Action Girl
Cute Bruiser
Does Not Like Men: Creidne hates men so much due to the Dozelian brutality towards young women that she has two conversations about that. One is when she almost freaks out against Iuchar or Iucharba when one of them stands too close for several turns, another when Dalvin mentions her reasons to not like men.
Hot Amazon: As an Expy of Larcei, she can't be less. At least personality-wise.
Plucky Girl
Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
Tomboy: If not even more so than Larcei: Creidne promotes into a Hero, an almost exclusively-male class (with Machyua of Thracia 776 and Echidna of Sword of Seals as the only other exceptions).
Tsundere: She's a bit rougher around the edges than Larcei.
Zettai Ryouiki: Her TCG card gives her a Grade A.

Dalvin (Roddlevan)

Class: Swordfighter

Creidne's levelheaded older brother, and an Isaachian swordsman. Replaces Skasaha if Ayra didn't have children.

Heroes Prefer Swords
Tall, Dark and Handsome: Has the common Isaachian swordsman build, which makes him this by default.
Vitriolic Best Buds: With Tristan.

Replacements of Lachesis's children

Jeanne (Janne)

Class: Troubadour

Youngest daughter of a dead Cross Knight, raised by Finn after a turbulent early life. Replaces Nanna if Lachesis didn't have children.

Hair Decorations: Nanna has a feather-shaped hairpin, Jeanne has a pink headband
Happily Adopted: Twice. After her Cross Knight dad perished, she was taken in by a local merchant (and separated from Tristan at the same time). However, her kind adoptive dad was killed too when she was about 7 years old, and then Finn adopted her and raised her with Leif.
Plucky Girl
White Mage: What a troubadour usually does.
Zettai Ryouiki: In her TCG card.

Tristan

Class: Free Knight

Eldest son of a dead Cross Knight and the brother of Jeanne, raised by Edain. Replaces Diarmuid if Lachesis didn't have children.

Heroes Prefer Swords
Vitriolic Best Buds: With Dalvin.

Replacements of Erinys's children

Hermina (Femina)

Class: Pegasus Knight

A Sigurd and Erinys fangirl who has just achieved her dream to be a Pegasus Knight. Replaces Fee if Erinys didn't have children.

Action Girl/White Mage
Ascended Fangirl: While she obviously doesn't get to fight with her idols, Hermina does get to join Sigurd's son in his quests.
Fan Girl: She was a Erinys and Sigurd fan, and became a Pegasus Knight to follow their example.

Hawk: So you joined the liberation army, did you?
Hermina: Yep. I wanted to help out Sir Seliph.
Hawk: Hmph... I'm not surprised. You've admired his father ever since you were little.
Hermina: Yeah. My dream has always been to become a Pegasus Knight just like Erinys was. You just watch... I'm gonna make it!

Fragile Speedster
Genki Girl: Just like Fee, Hermina Jumped At the Call to join Seliph's army.
Plucky Girl: Like Fee, she isn't very worried about finding her brother because she's sure she'll run into him eventually.
Zettai Ryouiki

Hawk

Class: Sage

A talented and famous magician, as well as Hermina's brother. Replaces Ced if Erinys didn't have children.

Chronic Hero Syndrome: As an Expy of Ced, Hawk also shares his biggest flaw.
Magic Knight: And a pretty decent one, even without Forseti.
Overshadowed by Awesome: Stat-wise, he's one of the better substitutes and a good character in his own right, but he replaces the Game Breaker Ced so...
Tall, Dark and Handsome

Replacements of Tailtiu's children

Amid

Class: Wind Mage
Holy blood: Tordo [Minor]

A wandering mage from Silesse, who has a grudge against the Frieges due to the death of his mother Bloom and Tailtiu's younger sister Ethnia. Replaces his cousin Arthur if Tailtiu didn't have children.

Blow You Away: He did grow up in Silesse, after all. Amid's a notable case, as he's the only playable Wind Mage in the game.
Magic Knight: He promotes into the male variation of War Mage.
Sugar and Ice Personality
You Killed My Father: He and Linda pull this on Hilda, on behalf of the deceased Ethnia.

Linda

Class: Thunder Mage
Holy blood: Tordo [Minor]

A sweet mage from the House of Friege, and Amid's sister. Replaces her cousin Tine if Tailtiu didn't have children.

Black Mage: She's actually a Friege, so this is the family business.
Expy: In addition to the automatic expy-ness of being a replacement character, she's also somewhat of an expy of the first and third games' Linde, which is lampshaded by recurring character Jake in a conversation.
Hair Decorations: Her yellow headband.
She's Got Legs: In illustrations, the slits of her white robe show off a very long and shapely pair of legs.
Shock and Awe: Is a Thunder Mage.
Silk Hiding Steel: Linda is sweet and humble, but less shy than Tine. She's also a thunder mage, with raw power almost equalling her aunt Tailtiu's..
Woman in White: In almost all illustrations, except for a card in which she's dressed in purple.
You Killed My Father: She and Amid pull this on Hilda, on behalf of the deceased Ethnia.

Replacements of Brigid's children

Daisy

Class: Thief

A civilian girl who has taken up stealing from the rich to help the Orphanage of Love she was raised in. Replaces Patty if Brigid didn't have children.

Action Girl
Adult Child: She acts very childishly sometimes.

Daisy: My personal lesson with Shannan! WHEEEE!

Fan Girl: Of Shanan, just like Patty.
Fragile Speedster: She can't take many hits.
Genki Girl
Hair Decorations: Patty has a Nice Hat, Daisy has a pink headband.
Tall, Dark and Bishoujo

Asaello

Class: Bow Fighter

A talented and well-known archer, and Daisy's brother. Replaces Febail if Brigid didn't have children.

The Archer
Fire-Forged Friends: With Seliph. He hates all royalty and nobles with a passion after his and Daisy's parents were killed, caught under two fires during the Thracia-Manster wars, but still, on his own admission in the ending, came to like him.
Friend to All Children: Adults dislike and fear him, but children love him. And he loves them back, doing his hardest to make money with mercenary work for the orphanage he holds with his sister Daisy.
Hachimaki
I Just Want to Be Special: In the last chapter, if he's paired with Muirne, he will have a conversation with her where he'll tell how frustrated he is at being powerless in this battle, and wish he could have just a little Crusader blood in him.
Red Baron: "Hitman of Conote".

Replacements of Silvia's children

Laylea (Leilia, Leyla, Layla)

Class: Dancer

A beautiful and sorta cynical dancer who works with Ares. Replaces Lene if Silvia didn't have children.

Broken Bird: Suffers from the same thing as Lene.
Does Not Like Shoes: Like most dancers.
Rape as Drama: Since Laylea takes Lene's role, this is hinted for her as well. Damn you, Bramsel.
Spoony Bard: She's not really suited for combat, but she can give units an extra turn.
Stripperiffic: Again, like most dancers.
Tall, Dark and Bishoujo: Looks less Moe than Lene, both in face (finer features, less rounded face shape) and body (Lene is slim and flat chested, Laylea has a hourglass figure).
The Tease: Is somewhat more seductive and straightforward than Lene.

Charlot (Sharlow)

Class: Priest

The adopted son of General Hannibal, and Laylea's brother... though they don't know it. Replaces Coirpre if Silvia didn't have children.

Magikarp Power: He's got slightly better stats than Coirpre, specially due to the Elite skill that lets him grow levels faster.
Man in White: He entered into priesthood at a very young age.
White Mage: Like Coirpre, he starts out as a healer.

Verdane

Dimaggio

Class: Axe Fighter

Gerrard

Class: Axe Fighter

Prince Cimbaeth of Verdane

Class: Warrior

Big Brother Bully: Averted in the Nuts Fujimori manga, as Jamke mentions that Cimbaeth treated him kindly when he arrived to the Verdane court.
Butt Monkey: In the Fujimori manga, he clearly has no idea what he's doing. Ayra is the main threat his army poses.
Heel Face Turn: The Nuts Fujimori manga has him portrayed as not being deep down a bad guy, and Sigurd, noticing this, gives him mercy on the promise he will atone for his sins. Cimbaeth is genuinely moved and promises. This mercy is important as Jamke later fights Sigurd not only because for his father, but also because he believes, in a misunderstanding, that Sigurd has killed his beloved brother Cimbaeth in battle.

Prince Munnir of Verdane

Class: Warrior

Butt Monkey: His portrayal in the Nuts Fujimori manga.
Cain and Abel: He's Jamke's brother.
Evil Uncle: A family tree in one of the Fire Emblem books says he's Jamke's uncle.

King Batu of Verdane

Sacrificial Lamb

Agustria

Lord Eldigan of Nordion (Eltshan, Eltoshan, Eltosian)

Class: Paladin
Holy blood: Hezul [Major]

Brother-Sister Incest: Lachesis admires him a little too much. And as said before, the Oosawa manga takes their thoughts on each other and amps them Up to Eleven. To the point where they're this close to have sex, but Eldigan ultimately refuses it to not "taint" Lachesis (though they still share a Last Kiss)... and dies shortly afterwards.
Face Death with Dignity: Even when he was pretty stupid, in the Oosawa manga, he managed to say "fuck you" to Chagall when he was about to literally lose his head. It was awesome. And depressing.
Hair of Gold
Honor Before Reason: After all of the crap Chagall put him through, he still insists on serving him after thinking it is his duty. Even when Zyne offers his aid to oust Chagall, he still refuses to do so.
Hot Dad: Of Ares.
Lawful Stupid: He insists on serving Chagall despite the latter's obvious cruelty and stupidity. This attitude ultimately costs him his life, one way or another.
Off with His Head
Red Baron: Lionheart Eldigan.^[6]
Sacrificial Lion: Yeah, he's not making it to the end alive. Fits right in with his title "Lionheart Eldigan".

Elliot of Heirhein

Class: Duke Knight

Butt Monkey: In Mitsuki Oosawa's manga, where he tries too hard to make Lachesis pay for every time she has put him through shame, ever since they were kids. All of his plots fail spectacularly due to Eldigan's intervention or due to his own stupidity or weakness.
- Not surprisingly, it's also his portrayal in Nuts Fujimori's parody-ridden manga.
Overlord, Jr.: The son of the villain Boldor. You fight both of them together in his second appearance.
Unknown Rival: Has a one sided hatred of Eldigan.
Villainous Crush: On Lachesis.

Phillip

Class: General

Lord Boldor of Heirhein

Class: General

Voltz

Class: Forrest Knight

Forgotten Fallen Friend: A friend and maybe even mentor of Beowolf who doesn't come with him when he's hired by Sigurd.
Punch Clock Villain: As he says himself as a mercenary, you work for a lot of different clients regardless of ideology.

Lord Macbeth of Anphony

Class: General

Adipose Rex: Is a Noble, and is overweight.
Fat Bastard: His appearance is of a chubby elderly man wearing fancy clothes. He's noticeably more corrupt than other Lords.
Kick the Dog: Is first seen sending bandits to rob from his own subjects.
Stout Strength: Despite being obese, he's an armor knight with decent stats.

Lord Clement of Mackily

Class: Bishop

Fat Bastard: Averted: he's comparatively less corrupt than the other villains.

Zyne

Class: Duke Knight

Anti-Villain: In Oosawa's manga, where his personality is fleshed out as a very sympathetic and patriotic captain. It makes you feel sorry for him the next time that you face him in the game.
Died in Your Arms Tonight: Sigurd's.
Eyes Always Shut: In his character portrait.
The Men First: Again, in Oosawa's manga, he makes his men stand back to confront Sigurd alone in a duel, so that they may keep on living.
Palette Swap: Infamous for the amount of times his portrait was used for other bosses.
- The fanbase goes on to call the rest of the palette swaps as "Harolds" or Harold clones despite Zyne being the first one to use this portrait.
Patriotic Fervor: "Nothing more noble then dying for the motherland!"

King Chagall of Agustria (Shagall)

Class: Baron

The Evil Prince: Unlike his father, he's an incompetent and cruel Royal Brat easily manipulated by the likes of Manfroy.
Self-Made Orphan: Manfroy manipulated him into killing his dad for power.
Smug Snake: Part of the Jiol archetype.
Younger Than They Look: Chagall has a horribly wrinkled face for someone his age.

Jacoban

Class: Forrest

Thracia First Generation

King Travant of Thracia

Class: Dragon Master
Holy blood: Dain [Major]

Bad Boss: Kidnaps the kid of his own General due to the worry he'd turn traitor.
Dragon Rider: His Dragon is pure black in the battle animations.
Heel Realization: In Thracia 776, Travant says he's aware that his crimes have damned him to hell, but it'll be worth it if it moves Thracia out of its Crapsack World status.

"My wish is to rebuild Thracia into that prosperous nation that Dain and Njörun created. ...And if that process dooms me to Hell, then so be it."

Stalker with a Crush/Villainous Crush: To Ethlyn. It's... really not clear.
Tall, Dark and Snarky: A strong, dark-haired man with a penchant for sarcasm.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: He'll do absolutely anything to save his beloved Thracia, which has gone through horribly hard times. By anything, we mean: first, he betrays and kills Quon and Ethlyn in the worst and cruelest way possible, taking their daughter Altena hostage to raise her on his own so she can use the Gáe Bolg sacred lance for him, and 17 years later, he uses poor Coirpre/Charlot as a hostage to force Hannibal to work for him.
You Killed My Father: From Leif and Altena.

Papilon

Class: Dragon Knight

Palette Swap: Of Zyne.

Magorn

Class: Dragon Master

Just Following Orders: His boss quote.
Palette Swap: Yep, Zyne again.

Thracia Second Generation

Prince Arion of Thracia

Class: Dragon Master
Holy blood: Dain [Major]

Anti-Villain: Very kind and gentle, but he happens to be Travant's son and heir as well as a powerful enemy thanks to the Gungnir.
Arranged Marriage: Revealed to be engaged Linoan in Thracia 776.
Blade on a Stick: The Gungnir.
Dragon Rider: His mount is Pitch Black like his father's.
Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter: It's even pointed out by a villager that he's much nicer than his father Travant.
My Country, Right or Wrong: Loyal to Thracia (and, by association, Travant) above all else. This tends to put him into conflict with Altena.
Star-Crossed Lovers: He and Altena. Though she can recruit him in the Final Chapter, albeit as an allied unit rather than a player unit.
Tall, Dark and Handsome

Kanatz

Class: General

Anti-Villain: He's a friend of Hannibal and is only fighting because he doesn't want Hannibal's son to die.
Palette Swap: Of Phillip.
What Happened to the Mouse?: If Seliph rescues Coirpre/Charlot and recruits Hannibal without killing Kanatz, he'll just disappear.

Orgahill Pirates

Dobarl (Duvall)

Class: Warrior

Pirate: A Type 1 which is why he betrays Brigid.
Rape, Pillage and Burn: Is annoyed that Brigid won't let him loot villages and does it behind her back anyway.
Smug Snake: Eager to mutiny against Brigid, but it quickly bites him in the ass when Sigurd's group shows up.
Straw Misogynist: Doesn't like being under the orders of Brigid. Though this might be less about Brigid being a woman and more about her not letting him be a Type 1 Pirate.

Pizarl

Class: Warrior

Pirate: Just like Dobarl.

Silesse

Queen Rahna of Silesse (Lahna)

Determined Widow: Does what's in her hands to keep Silesse stable after losing her husband/Lewyn's dad (and the one with major Forseti blood).
The High Queen: Became the ruler of Silesse after her husband died.
Hot Mom: Despite not being as young as the other moms in the story, she looks quite fine.
Palette Swap: Curiously, of the Lady of the Lake in Lex's Honest Axe incident.
Reasonable Authority Figure: She's pretty levelheaded and does what she can for Silesse.

Annand

Class: Falcon Knight

The Ace: Female example.
Cool Big Sis: To Erinys.
Lady of War: A respected Falcon Knight in direct service of the queen.
Sacrificial Lamb: Her death is one of the biggest catalysts of the tragedy that's about to come.
Woman in White: Her Falcon Knight attire is completely white, as is typical in Silesse.
You Monster!: To Pamela, whose betrayal enrages her.

Maios

Class: Baron

Evil Uncle: To Lewyn.
Palette Swap: Strangely of... Elliot.

Deet'var (Deetver, Dietova)

Class: Falcon Knight

Adaptational Attractiveness: Is less creepy looking in artwork.
Dark Action Girl
Face Heel Turn: She assisted Maios' rebellion and turned against the queen.
Hot Mom: She has a child Misha. Said child appears as a recruitable character in Thracia 776. Though ingame, she's more creepy looking then attractive.
What Have I Done: Her Famous Last Words.
Woman in White: In her artwork. She wears black in-game.

Cuvuli

Class: Bishop

Daccar

Class: Baron

Ambition Is Evil: According to the Oosawa manga, since Rahna says he wasn't an asshole from the start.
Cain and Abel: He says that he does this also outta revenge against his brother a.k.a. Lewyn's father.
Evil Uncle: To Lewyn.
Kick the Dog: Slapping Pamela in the manga, since she's a sympathetic Anti-Villain there.
Palette Swap: Of Boldor.

Pamela

Class: Falcon Knight

Adaptational Attractiveness: Just like Deet'var. Even more in the Oosawa manga, where she's actually drawn different from Deet'var via getting a Boyish Short Hair.
Always Someone Better: The Oosawa manga adds this as her other motivation, having her tell Ferry that she never could surpass Mahnya in life, and asking her to kill her.
Ambition Is Evil: As soon as Rahna's position was seriously threatened, Pamela betrayed her in hopes of becoming the top Falcoknight. She openly admits it when she kills Mahnya.
Antagonist in Mourning: In the Oosawa manga. To the point of personally carrying Annand's lifeless body to Queen Rahna and giving her Annand's Silver Lance instead of taking it for herself.
Anti-Villain: In the Oosawa manga, she's given a somewhat more expanded role and a surprisingly sympathetic portrayal. See Antagonist in Mourning above.
Ascended Extra: In the Oosawa manga.
Dark Action Girl
Death Seeker: Refers to herself as such as well.
Even Evil Has Standards: In the Oosawa manga, she cannot bring herself to desecrate Annand's body via cutting her head off and sending her to the enemy, and when Andrey points it out, she gets pissed.
Face Heel Turn: Sides with Daccar against her queen. She kills Annand and mocks the grief of her loved ones.
The Rival: To Annand, and later to Ferry in the manga.
Smug Snake
This Cannot Be!: Her last words when you kill her are pretty much this.
Woman in White: Her artwork portrays her as this, but her in-game portrait has her wearing black.

Donovan

Class: General

Kick the Dog: Sends his men to kill civillians.
Palette Swap: Of Cimbaeth, yet is somehow a General instead despite the soldiers under his command being Axe Fighters and Warriors. Hell, he doesn't even uses axes himself.

Leimia (Lamia)

Class: Swordmaster

Amazon Brigade: Leads one.
Ax Crazy
Dark Action Girl
Identical Stranger: Curiously, she looks a LOT like a younger Hilda. And is a Jerkass too.

Grannvale 1st Generation

King Azmur of Grannvale

Holy blood:^[7] Naga [Major]

Despair Event Horizon: After Kurth's death, he is bed-ridden and can barely handle the government. This makes easy for Arvis to manipulate the old man and make everyone believe he is dead.
Reasonable Authority Figure: In both the game and the Oosawa manga, Azmur is never fully convinced that Byron and Ring were planning a coup. Unfortunately, his poor health makes it so that he can't really interfere on their behalf.

Prince Kurth of Grannvale

Holy blood:^[7] Naga [Major]

The Atoner: Never forgave himself to the deal with Cigyun, so he silently supported her eldest son Arvis when he was too young to properly rule over Velthomer. Arvis never knew about it.
Celibate Hero: He never married despite his counselors' nagging because he still loved Cigyun.
Disappeared Dad: To Deirdre, though he didn't know about her. The Oosawa manga states that not only he did find out, but was was planning to search for Deirdre and acknowledge her as his heiress... right before he got killed. In-game, we only know that Deirdre was acknowledged, but not if Kurth managed to do it before he died.
Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Older version, though in the Oosawa manga it's paired with Older Than They Look. Seriously, he looks like in his 20's when he's supposed to be at least in his mid/late 30's!
Reasonable Authority Figure: Was very well-loved by everyone due to his kindness and common sense.
Sacrificial Lamb: He was killed off by the middle of Chapter 2.
Tall, Dark and Handsome
Your Cheating Heart: Cigyun cheated on Victor with him. Deirdre was born from that, and for worse, it looks like he never knew that he had a daughter (except for the manga).

Lord Bryon of Chalphy

Class: Master Knight
Holy blood:^[7] Baldo [Major]

Almost-Dead Guy: Survives just long enough to deliver the Tyrfing to his son Sigurd.
Cool Old Guy: He's already a grandfather in terms of age, and becomes one literally once Sigurd and Ethlyn find their lovers.
Disappeared Dad: He was nearly killed by Slayder until Sigurd saved him. He was too badly wounded to survive, but was able to give the Tyrfing to him.
Sacrificial Lion
Vitriolic Best Buds: In the Oosawa manga, with Ring. Eagerly and amusingly lampshaded.

Ring: Look what you've done! Because you said something unnecessary, the Prince is now depressed!
Bryon: I just stated the obvious, don't blame me!
Kurth: ...I can hear you...
Authors's Notes: "The two are best buds!"

Lord Ring of Jungby

Holy blood:^[7] Ulir [Major]

Ascended Extra: In the Oosawa manga, he got some more development. Still not enough to avoid his death.
Gory Discretion Shot: Toyed with in the Oosawa manga. We do see his death... but it's from Bryon and Kurth's POV, meaning that we only see his back and some blood as he gets an arrow to the throat.
Informed Ability: As major Ulir, he's supposed to be a good archer, yet Edain has the Yewfelle so she can give it to Brigid and he gets killed off-screen (or not, in the manga) by his own son Andrey.
Overprotective Dad: In the Oosawa manga, Ring mistakenly thinks that Siglud married Edain. He comically freaks out at the thought.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Specially in the single scene in the Oosawa manga, which has him discussing Kurth's plans to search for his heir/heiress with Bryon and Kurth. And then It Gets Worse.
Tenchi Solution: He either had two different wives or an official wife alongside a mistress, since Brigid and Edain have a different mother than Andrey.
- It's also possible he remarried Andrey's mom after Brigid and Edain's mom died.

Lord Victor of Velthomer (Viktor)

Holy blood:^[7] Fala [Major]

Casanova: He was infamous for being a womanizer.
Disappeared Dad: To Arvis (and Azelle).
Evil Redhead: Arvis got his red hair from him. As for the evil part... Well, look at the rest of his tropes.
Jerkass: He really has no redeeming values.
Spurned Into Suicide: When Cigyun cheated on him, he was so humiliated that he wrote a letter denouncing her and her lover and either hung himself (game) or drank poison/stabbed himself (Oosawa manga).

Lord Arvis of Velthomer

Class: Sage / Emperor
Holy blood:^[7] Fala [Major] Lopto [Minor]

Aloof Big Brother: But he won't hesitate to tell Sigurd how much Azelle means to him.
Anti-Villain: Again, arguably.
Big Bad Wannabe: Though he may look to be the big bad guy of the story, the true villains were always Manfroy and Loptous.
Break the Haughty: To the point where it ages him horribly.
Brother-Sister Incest: Had twin kids with his memory-wiped younger half-sister Deirdre. He at first didn't know she was his sister, and when he learned the truth, he still was so in love with her that he decided it didn't matter anymore.
Even Evil Has Standards: Hates the child hunts so much that he comes up with a Batman Gambit to thwart them with Ishtar's help.
Evil Redhead: Well, Extremely Morally Ambiguous Redhead, at any rate.
He-Man Woman Hater: Was this in his past, due to his Jerkass father's philandering and his mom Cigyun's disappearance. When this happened, young Arvis had all of his dad's mistresses kicked out of the Velthomer court save for Azelle's mother, and except for Aida he became very bitter towards ladies. Until Deirdre came along, that is.
I Have Your Wife: Literally does this, unknowingly or not, to Sigurd right before he murders him in cold blood.
Magic Knight
Oedipus Complex: Once you learn his backstory... holy crap. He's even strongly hinted to have killed people for mentioning what happened to Cigyun.
Playing with Fire: Falaflame, his magical tome.
Promotion to Parent: At seven years old, even. When Victor died or better said, killed himself, he took baby Azelle under his wing as soon as he saw him.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: He possibly would have managed to truly unify Grannvale, or at least have Velthomer take the lead spot for the greater good, if not for Manfroy's manipulations finally turning his Empire into a tyranny.
Yandere: Arguably, for Deirdre. That would certainly explain why {spoiler|he brought her Brainwashed and Crazy self to Sigurd's presence to show off how she was his wife now, before killing him}}.

Lady Cigyun of Velthomer

Holy blood:^[7] Lopto [Minor]

Broken Bird
Death by Childbirth: Died in the Secret Forest when giving birth to poor Deirdre.
Girl in the Tower: More exactly, Girl In The Forest, due to her Loptous/Maera heritage.
Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: Victor cheats on her repeteadly and is shown as a terrible guy (the fact that he apparently raped Cigyun's favorite maid when drunk doesn't help). Cigyun cheats on him with Kurth only because she's The Woobie and emotionally weakened after finding out about said maid being pregnant and sent away.
Missing Mom: To Arvis and Deirdre.
White-Haired Pretty Girl

Duke Lombard of Dozel

Class: Baron
Holy blood:^[7] Neir [Major]

Ambition Is Evil: Like Reptor, he wanted power, which was being undermined by Kurth. He was also first described as avaricious.
An Axe to Grind: The Helswath, a sacred axe.
Archnemesis Dad: For Lex, who will express regret that it's come to this.
Beard of Evil: He has quite the impressive one.
Even Evil Has Standards: Expresses disgust at Andrey's killing of his own father, since Lombard actually respected Ring.
Evil Old Folks: He's a bitter old man with very ambitious plans to gain as much power as possible.
Smug Snake: Despite his fierce grimace, he's every bit as smug and zealous as his cohorts.

Duke Reptor of Freege (Leptor)

Class: Baron
Holy blood:^[7] Tordo [Major]

Ambition Is Evil: He already had a very high position in the Empire, but wanted more than that.

Reptor (to Sigurd): "Hmph, you idiot! Politics is all about power! Your father had no power, which is why he died."

Archnemesis Dad: For Tailtiu and Ethnia. In fact, he's one of the few who can scare the living SHIT out of the usually fearless Tailtiu.
Evil Chancellor: He's the Prime Minister of Grannvale, and a greedy, treacherous one at that.
Evil Old Folks: He's already old enough to have three children and potentially be a grandfather. He's also a prideful, ambitious asshole.
High-Class Glass: Helps show his position as the Evil Chancellor.
Psycho Electro: The Thor Hammer tome that Bloom and Ishtar wield? It's originally his weapon.

Duke Andrey of Jungby

Class: Bow Knight
Holy blood:^[7] Ulir [Minor]

Adaptational Attractiveness: He isn't that ugly in-game, but is more of a Long-Haired Pretty Boy in official art.
- Similarly, in the Oosawa manga, he's a straight up case of Dude Looks Like a Lady/Long-Haired Pretty Boy.
Ambition Is Evil: His ambition to rule Jungby.
Cain and Abel: Brigid and Edain's evil younger brother.
Horse Archer: His class allows him to shoot on horseback.
Politically-Incorrect Villain: Is made a Token Misogynist in the manga, specially when he mocks what remains of Pamela's honor and openly tells her that women are only there to physically pleasure men.
Self-Made Orphan: Killed his own father for power. Not even his fellow conspirators liked that.
Smug Snake: He's such an asshole, even other Smug Snakes dislike him.
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: According to Brigid, in the Oosawa manga.

Brigid: When I delve into my memories of him, I see him smiling like a little angel... So why would he do such a thing like killing our father to take over as the head of the family?

Slaydar

Class: Great Knight

Vaha

Class: Mage Fighter

Aida

Class: Mage Fighter

Evil Redhead: Not really, she seems to be a decent person... who happens to work for Arvis and be his Number Two.
Hot Mom: Of Arvis's Heroic Bastard Cyas.
Lady of Black Magic: An elegant-looking young woman with lots of magical power.
Woman in Black
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: To Reptor.

Princess Ethnia of Freege

Holy blood:^[7] Tordo [Minor]

Dead Little Sister: For Tailtiu and Bloom.
Hair Decorations: In the only avaliable portrait of her, she wears a red headband.
Hot Mom: Of Amid and Linda.
The Ojou

King Mannanan of Isaach

Holy blood:^[7] Odo [Major]

Disappeared Dad: To Mariccle and Ayra.
Out-Gambitted: He tried to prove himself as "loyal" to Grannvale by conquering Rivough, then offering the head of its ruler (his own son-in-law, also Galzus's father and Mareeta's grandfather) as "proof". He only got to get himself executed by Manfroy and Reptor.
Posthumous Character: He's already dead by the time Ayra joins the group.
Warrior Prince

Crown Prince Mariccle of Isaach

Holy blood:^[7] Odo [Major]

Disappeared Dad: Shanan's.
Hot Dad: To Shanan. Who looks EXACTLY like him when he grows up.
Posthumous Character: Ayra is already fairly certain he's dead by the time she meets up with Sigurd's army.
Tall, Dark and Handsome: It's clear where Shanan got his looks from.
Warrior Prince
You Killed My Father: To Grannvale in general, after Mannanan's execution. Really, really goes bad for him. Fortunately, Mariccle was Genre Savvy enough to tell his younger sister Ayra to take little Shanan and leave the realm before taking off...

Lady Grahnye of Nodion

Derailing Love Interests: The Oosawa manga, instead of featuring her, uses an Expy named Iria. And it's clear that Oosawa really hates said expy, as she's portrayed as a Rich Bitch who loathes Lachesis and acts like a Clingy Jealous Girl when around Eldigan. Since Oosawa ships Eldigan/Lachesis, well...
Hot Mom: Of Ares. Here she is, ladies and gentlemen.
Missing Mom: She was killed during the invasion of the Manster District by Grannvale.
The Ojou: Given what little we know about her, particularly judging by her one picture, she's one of these, given that she has no combat abilities that we know of.
Posthumous Character: We only see her in one illustration, but never in the game. According to Ares, Grahnye was killed when Leonster was invaded.
Princesses Prefer Pink

Grandbell 2nd Generation

Duke Danann of Dozel (Danan)

Class: Baron

The son of Duke Lombard and the father of Brian, Iuchar and Iucharba. He was appointed King of Isaach when the Grannvale Empire placed an occupation force in the kingdom.

Always Someone Better: In the Oosawa manga, this is the actual reason why he hated Lex so much and ultimately betrayed him. Since Lombard tended to favor Lex when the two brothers were young (at least until little!Lex started questioning him), Danan felt constantly inferior and he never got over it, projecting his self-hate on Lex and Ayra, and later on Ulster and Larcei.
An Axe to Grind: Being a member of Dozel, he obviously specializes in axes.
Archnemesis Dad: To his sons Iuchar or Iucharba, depending on who is recruited.
The Caligula: When Arvis conquered the entire continent for Grannvale, the countries were divvied up between the Grannvalian nobles and Danann got Isaach, which it's mentioned he's running straight into the ground by the time the second generation starts.
Combat Pragmatist: In the Oosawa manga, since Danann can barely keep up with Ulster, he begs for mercy, and as soon as his nephew lowers his guard, he uses Helswath to seriously hurt him. Ultimately fails, since Ulster pretty much brings himself back when Larcei comes to help, and they both defeat him.
Complete Monster]]: He's almost as bad as Hilda and Manfroy.
Hate Sink: There's nothing remotely likeable about him: he's there to demonstrate how terrible Grannvale has become.
Heroic Lineage]: Of the Neir bloodline, but one of the few cases who doesn't get to use his family's Ancestral Weapon (Helswath, in his case). However, this is because his eldest son Brian has it in his possession, as seen in the final chapter.
Kick the Dog: If one can count making the entire country suffer a massive dog kicking.
- The Oosawa manga adds another one: Lex and Ayra returned after the horrific Battle of Belhalla. Danann at first acted like a cool big bro and welcomed him until Lex handed down Helswath... and then he betrayed both of them, resulting in Lex's surefire death and Ayra was implied to die afterwards.
Mighty Glacier: In the Oosawa manga, he tries to fight against Ulster on his own... but quickly finds out that Helswath is not the easiest axe to wield.
Puppet King: Danann isn't a puppet himself, but he does run Arvis's puppet regime in Isaach after deposing the rightful royal family.
Spared by the Adaptation: In the Nea Fuyuki version, Seliph manages to recruit both Iuchar and Iucharba, which gives them enough troops to surround his castle and force him to surrender.
Sucksessor: Even Lombard thinks he's useless, as he's unable to quell a small rebellion in Isaach even when Lombard was still alive. Even moreso, in-game he doesn't even bring Helswath with him despite having major Neir blood, leaving it to Brian... which would become his downfall.
This Is Unforgivable!: Received the end of it by Seliph for making the people suffer.

Seliph: "King Danann... Under your rule, many people have suffered and died. Now you must face the consequences."

Underestimating Badassery: He thinks that Oifey and Shannan are the most concerning of the Liberation Army. Seliph and his friends proved him otherwise.
Warm-Up Boss: He is your first major boss in the Second Generation, and since he is an axe user while most of your units use swords or ranged weapons (which he lacks on the latter), he is easy to kill.
You Killed My Father:
- Invoked when fighting Seliph, whose father killed his father.
- In the Oosawa manga, Lex and Ayra's kids Ulster and Larcei invoke this on him instead.

Duke Bloom of Friege (Bloome, Blume)

Class: Baron
Holy blood:^[7] Tordo [Major]

Son of Duke Reptor and the brother of Tailtiu. He was appointed in the occupation of the Manster District. He is married to Hilda and the father of Ishtore and Ishtar.

Ancestral Weapon: He's the direct inheritor of Mjolnir. He passes it further down the line to Ishtar at the start of Chapter 8.
Anti-Villain: Very hard to see, as he rules like a tyrant and makes people suffer, but he possesses some standards, especially about Child Hunts, and it is hinted that he's quite kind to Tine, even if he looked like a controlling stepfather. Most likely, he's only doing all those in order to preserve the Friege House's reputation rather than outright malice/evil. In addition, compared to Danann, Bloom didn't come off as The Caligula; he's tyrannical, but he's not indulging in selfish pleasures, just concentrating on keeping order.
Even Evil Has Standards: Doesn't like the child hunts, even when he doesn't protest about them.
Pet the Dog: Does care for Tine (or Linda), though he is controlling towards her. Through What Could Have Been, he would have more based on Kaga's notes: while he left Tailtiu to die, he would still give her a proper burial by putting her in an ice coffin and sent the coffin to Silesse, which was later used by Claud to resurrect her at the cost of his life and the Valkyrie Staff.
Psycho Electro: His weapon is called Thor Hammer, and it's a Thunder spell.
Puppet King: See Danann, but for Manster.
Unholy Matrimony: Subverted. Both he and Hilda are horrible people, but Bloom's actual feelings for Hilda were not shown, thus remaining ambiguous. He also didn't share her joy for Child Hunts.

Duchess Hilda of Friege

Class: Queen
Holy blood:^[7] Fala [Minor]. Through a glitch makes it Dain [Major] in the last chapter.

The wife of Duke Bloom and the mother of Ishtore and Ishtar and sister-in-law to Tailtiu and Ethnia. She was in charge of the occupation force in the Miletos District

Abusive Parents: Where do we even begin on this? Not only she hideously abuse Tine/Linda, her nieces, for lulz, she also mentally abuses Ishtar to just marry Julius just so she gets the peerage of being directly linked to the Imperial family, ignoring Ishtar's true feelings for Julius. One can just wonder how she treated Ishtore, who lacked Holy Blood compared to Ishtar...
Adaptational Attractiveness: Her official game portrait had her face possessing wrinkles, but when it comes to official arts or TCG portrayals, she looked actually more decent for an old woman that hasn't reached grandma status, and no more wrinkles.
Adapted Out: She's not present in the Mitsuki Oosawa manga, which could be saying something, as the manga was well known to make formerly unsympathetic characters look more sympathetic, meaning that even Oosawa thinks that Hilda is just unsalvageable.
Bastard Bastard: When you consider where the Fjalar blood within her comes from, one can assume that she's born from one of Victor's womanizing antics. Either you can wonder if Victor just happened to impregnate a cruel woman and/or Hilda got most of her bad stuffs from Victor and took it Up to 11 with actions that not even Victor would dream of doing.
Complete Monster: In-universe. Aside of her brutal torture of Tailtiu and Tine or Ethnia and Linda, when you try liberating one of the villages in the map she's in, this exchange pops up...

That Queen Hilda of Chronos is wicked to the core. She began abducting kids after allying with this dark bishop. She kills the mothers too without a blink of an eye! That woman's not even human. I'd say she's more like a devil!

Dark Action Girl: More exactly, a very powerful Lady of Black Magic.
Domestic Abuse: Inflicts this to Tailtiu/Ethnia to the point it killed them, then continues to do that to Tine/Linda. Ishtar only got the mental abuse version.
Evil Gloating: Likes to rub in the faces of Arthur and Tine/Linda that she drove their mothers to death and takes great pleasure in that act and trying to repeat that to them.
Evil Matriarch: An exceptionally terrifying sort, even by the standards of this trope.
Expy: She seems to have gotten one in the form of Sonia, who is similarly hot and similarly evil.
For the Evulz: There's absolutely no reason why Hilda is such a power-hungry evil bitch that likes the suffering of others. Hell, even Manfroy and his Loptyrian clan kinsmen can make the claim that their years of persecution eventually drove them into Card-Carrying Villain status (though they have no regrets), Hilda has no such excuse. Even the idea that her abuse towards Tailtiu was revenge for her "shaming" her family by supporting Sigurd's "coup" is shot down, as she outright admits to Teeny that she did it solely for her amusement.
Glass Cannon: Very strong Lady of Black Magic... with a very heavy fire tome.
Hate Sink: Made to be so utterly reprehensible and lacks any sort of Freudian Excuse (for reference, even Manfroy has one). Hilda was REALLY made to show the lowest that the Empire can do even with minimum Loptous interference.
Heroic Lineage: A minor degree of the Fjalar bloodline. However, 'heroic' would be the last thing you would refer to Hilda as.
Hypocrite: She's pissed that you killed her husband and son, Bloom and Ishtore, and wanted to exact revenge. But she gloats proudly about driving Tailtiu/Ethnia to death and is said to be very delighted when she drove the parents of many children to death.
It's All About Me: Subtly: when Hilda talks about her grudge against Seliph and his army for killing Bloom and Ishtore, she refers to them as "[her] husband and son". That specific choice of words wouldn't seem strange if she were talking to anyone other than Ishtar, her daughter. You know, Bloom's daughter and Ishtore's sister? Also, as said about her being a Hypocrite, kill HER husband and son? That's a horrible crime and she wants revenge. When she herself kills someone else's family member (or just drove them to death)? What a joy.
Kick the Dog: It's mentioned in the intro of Chapter 10 that she drove numerous citizens to "hideously cruel" deaths. Meaning Tailtiu/Ethnia wasn't the only person she tortured to death. In addition, she heartilly supports the Child Hunts. When some escape, she orders them all killed (we'll say this again... when some children escape, she orders for all of them to be killed).
Noblewoman's Laugh: She will usually let one out whenever either Arthur or Tine/Linda confront her, before she starts her Evil Gloating. Just so you get REALLY angered at her quickly.
Playing with Fire: Her tome Bolganone.
Puppet King: See Danann, but for Miletos.
See You in Hell: Her response to Arthur in the final chapter.
Smug Snake: So very full of herself, as she also seemed a little too controlling on Ishtar, her own daughter, who's far more powerful than her because of her Major Thrud Holy Blood and only follows her around because she understands familial love and piety. And then there's her Evil Gloating (which is usually preceded with a [[Noblewoman's Laugh), which many players find very satisfying to wipe off from her face using either Tine or Arthur.
Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
Unholy Matrimony: With Bloom. And she wants Ishtar to follow her example by marrying Julius, though Ishtar truly loves the Prince and shows hesitation about the deal.
Unique Enemy: Gets her own class and skillset to herself for unknown reasons.
You Monster!: Aside of her brutal torture of Tailtiu and Tine or Ethnia and Linda, when you try liberating one of the villages in the map she's in, this exchange pops up...

That Queen Hilda of Chronos is wicked to the core. She began abducting kids after allying with this dark bishop. She kills the mothers too, without a blink of an eye! That woman's not even human. I'd say she's more like a devil!

Princess Ishtar of Friege

Class: Sage
Holy blood:^[7] Tordo [Major]

Daughter of Bloom and the "Goddess of Thunder". Inheritor of the Mjolnir, she is in love with the Prince of Grannvale, Julius.

Ancestral Weapon: Mjolnir.
Anti-Villain: Thracia 776 has her state that neither she nor Ishtore approve of the child hunts.
Broken Bird: She's torn between her love for Julius and her family, and her own sense of what's right and wrong.
Cool Big Sis: To Tine/Linda.
Dark Mistress: She's not really evil, but her love for Julius and loyalty to her family make her a foe.
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Despite her mother possessing Fjalar blood, she doesn't have minor Fjalar blood in her stats.
Gold Digger: What Hilda wants for her, in regards to Julius. Since she does like Julius for more than his power, she's not very convinced.

Hilda: Ishtar, you listen up! We Frieges are of noble rank within Grannvale. And I'm originally from Velthomer, just as the Imperial family is. Who could possibly make a more worthy partner for His Highness than yourself!?
Ishtar: ...Yes, Mother...

Heroic Lineage: Major Thrud blood from her father, minor Fjalar blood from her mother. Unlike her parents, she's got more heroic and honorable traits, but remains loyal to both of them and her family, unlike her aunt.
Lady of Black Magic: She uses the Mjölnir with deadly power and accuracy.
Like Father, Unlike Son: Let's recap: Bloom is a tyrannical jerk, Hilda is pretty much a devil in human skin. So how in the hell did Ishtar turn out to be an honorable girl?
Love Martyr: To Julius. She doesn't approve of everything he does, but sticks with him out of love.
Morality Pet: Subverted, as Julius is a little nicer to her, but it's not enough to redeem him.
Noble Top Enforcer: A very sympathetic, decent and kind-hearted lady whose loyalty happens to lie with the enemies, and in love with the devil-possessed Big Bad. One of the Camus Archetype characters in the Second Generation.
Punch Clock Villain: She fights the heroes because of her love for her family and her boyfriend.
Red Baron: "Goddess of Thunder".
Shock and Awe: Being born in the Thrud lineage, she's a deadly thunder mage, even more so since she has Major Blood, thus has access to Mjolnir.
White-Haired Pretty Girl: Though in some TCG cards, her hair is more lilac.
Woman in Black: In some artwork, her blue dress is black. She's an aversion personality-wise though.
You Killed My Father: And brother and mother too. She tries doing this to Seliph and the Liberation Army, but obviously fails because she was on the wrong side anyway.
Zettai Ryouiki: Of the "long dress with huge slits, long boots/stockings" variety.

Prince Ishtore of Friege (Ishtor)

Class: Mage Fighter
Holy blood:^[7] Tordo [Minor]

Adaptational Attractiveness: Is ruddy and plain looking ingame but a White-Haired Pretty Boy in his artpiece.
- YMMV, as his in-game portrait looks nice except for the horrible Eighties Hair. Who is he, Benimaru Nikaido?
Anti-Villain: Ishtar notes in Thracia 776 that he's also strongly opposed to the child hunts, but he is nevertheless an enemy who needs to be fought.
- He also cares for his cousin Tine/Linda and her mother despite Hilda's abuse.
- He's also genuine in loving Liza, and was utterly crushed if she's killed before him, swearing revenge.
- When Seliph beats him, he starts wondering if he's truly a bad guy, because he looked like someone who'd be decent off-battle.
Eyes Always Shut: His ingame appearance.
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Like Ishtar.
Heroic Lineage: Fjalar and Thrud like his sister, but minor in both cases.
It's Personal: He has nothing against Seliph's army unless Liza dies... then he's more than willing to take vengeance.
Like Father, Unlike Son: Same deal with Ishtar.
Magic Knight: He's one of the few male War Mages in the game.
Punch Clock Villain: He's really not that bad a guy, he just happens to be on the enemy side.
Shock and Awe: He's part of House Friege and has the signature electricity spells expected of a descendant of Thrud, such as Bolting and Thoron. Unfortunately for him, he didn't inherit major Thrud blood like his sister, so he can't use Mjolnir.
Small Role, Big Impact: He's a minor boss who dies fairly early into the Second Generation, but it has a ripple effect on the rest of the Friege nobility. In addition, he's also the first boss that caused Seliph to question whether the Empire was really completely filled with bastards, which would test his mettle as a leader a few chapters later.
This Is Unforgivable!: After Liza is killed.

Liza

Class: Thunder Mage

Anti-Villain: Like Ishtore, she isn't particularly evil, but she is still an enemy that needs to be fought.
Palette Swap: Of Aida.
Shock and Awe: Much like her boss (and lover) Ishtore, Liza is proficient in Thunder magic.
The Strategist

Meng, Maybell and Bleg

Class: Falcon Knight

Dark Action Girl: Three powerful women who work for the evil side.
Palette Swap: Of Pamela and Deet'var.
Quirky Miniboss Squad

Fetra, Eliu and Vampa

Class: Wind Mage, Thunder Mage and Fire Mage respectively

Black Mage
Blow You Away: Fetra (Elwind).
Palette Swap: Of Pamela and De'etvar, again.
Playing with Fire: Vampa (Elfire).
Psycho Electro: Eliu (Elthunder).
Quirky Miniboss Squad

Ovo

Class: Mage Knight

Anime Hair: Duuuuuude, what's up with that fop of hair?!
Hachimaki
Magic Knight: As expected of a Mage Knight, he throws thunderbolts at whoever dares gets in his way.

Prince Brian of Dozel

Class: Master Knight
Holy blood:^[7] Neir [Major]

Adaptational Attractiveness: Brian's ingame portrait is aged and hideous, but his cardgame has him looking his age.
An Axe to Grind: He uses the legendary Swanchika axe.
Anti-Villain: Implied to be such.
Avenging the Villain: Wants to avenge his family members slain in the feud between Chalpy and Dozel.
Cain and Abel: His desire to uphold family honor puts him conflict with Iuchar or Iucharba.
Lightning Bruiser: Though the extremely heavy Swanchika axe weighs him down a ton.
My Country, Right or Wrong: Wonders if he was fighting for the right side before dying.

Brian: The Swanchika was defeated so easily!? Was I on the right side...?

You Killed My Father: Uses this line:

Brian: "You're the person that killed my father... It's time to end this grudge that has plagued the House of Dozel for 3 generations!"

Younger Than They Look: His ingame portrait looks like an old man, when in fact, he's not likely to be past late 20's/very early 30's.

Duke Scipio of Jungby

Class: Master Knight

Adaptational Attractiveness: Just like his dad and Ishtore, he isn't that ugly in game, but he's handsomer in art. And unlike in-game also actually looks different from Andrey in the aforementioned art.
Avenging the Villain: His dad asks him to do it at his death, and Scipio intends to do just that.
Horse Archer: Much like most of House Jungby, he excels in archery, more specifically mounted archery.
Overlord, Jr.: The evil son of Andrey.
- Generation Xerox: Scipio's personality is pretty much exactly the same as Andrey. Which makes one wonder how, as Andrey died way too early to have raised him much.
Palette Swap: Has the same portrait as his father.
Smug Snake: From what little we do know of him, he seems to be just as smug as his father.

Prince Julius of Velthomer

Class: Dark Prince
Holy blood:^[7] Lopto [Major]

Brainwashed and Crazy: It's strongly implied that the Loptous tome's magic pretty much took over his mind as soon as he was given the spellbook.
Cain and Abel: With Seliph and Julia, also Saias, to a degree.
A Child Shall Lead Them: One of the rare villainous examples.
Evil Redhead: One of the bad guys, with blazing red hair.
Facial Markings: Has the mark of Loptous in his forehead and shows it proudly.
Final Boss: He's the last opponent you face in Genealogy of the Holy War.
Ill Boy: In Thracia 776, a conversation between Ishtar and Saias mentions that he has "never been strong", and his health has apparently gotten worse after he was possessed by Loptous.
Pet the Dog: Is somewhat nice, if controlling, to Ishtar. One of his first apparitions is pulling a Big Damn Heroes (well, big damn villains) when she's defeated for the first time.
Self-Made Orphan: Killed his mother Deirdre and tried to kill his sister Julia after being given the Loptous tome. Deirdre, however, managed to spirit Julia away before dying at his hand.
Soul Jar: For Loptous.
Teen Genius: Is the Dragon-in-Chief to Manfroy's Big Bad... while still under 20 years old.
The Dragon: To Manfroy.
- Dragon-in-Chief: However, he's a much larger threat than Manfroy and is the Final Boss.
Yandere For his girlfriend Ishtar, since he tells her in Thracia 776 that he hates how Reinhardt looks at her and threatens to kill him if he appears in front of them again.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Tells this almost word by word to his own mom before killing her.

Bramsel

Class: General

Attempted Rape: He throws Lene/Laylea to the dungeon when she refuses his advances. It's strongly implied that he succeeded at it or something similar, as Javarro seems pleased when he tells Ares that Lene/Laylea is at his mercy and Ares, until then very cool and Badass, is openly terrified for the poor girl.
Dirty Old Man: Poor Lene and/or Laylea.

Lene/Laylea: Look at you acting so tough now that Ares isn't around! You sick old man!

Mighty Glacier
Palette Swap: Of Clement. Unique in that all other users of that portrait are magic users, while Bramsel is a General.
Smug Snake

Javarro

Class: Forrest Knight

Broken Pedestal: To Ares, after finding out about what happened to Lene/Laylea and how he never said anything about it. Telling Ares to forget about her made him very furious, and he promptly betrayed his former boss.
The Dragon: To Bramsel.
He-Man Woman Hater: Though maybe its just romantic relationships.
Hot Dad: Looks fairly young.
Palette Swap: Of Jacoban.
Parental Substitute: To Ares, having raised him after his mom Grahnye perished.

Lopto Sect

Manfroy (Manfloy)

Class: Dark Bishop

Big Bad: But not the final boss.
Blackmail: How he started to get to Arvis's head, via manipulating him due to his Loptousian heritage, since the people of Loptousian blood are all hated and instantly condemned to execution.
The Chessmaster/The Man Behind the Man: Pretty much sets up all of the game's events. It must be noted that he is shown pretty early in the game.
The Corrupter
Dark Is Evil: Plays it very straight.
Evil Old Folks
Parental Marriage Veto: His daughter married a Nice Guy against Manfroy's wishes. Manfroy killed the poor man. No wonder his granddaughter Sara hates him.

Sandima

Class: Dark Mage

Dark Is Evil: He's your first Dark magic-user and boss you face.
Hidden Eyes: You can't really see his eyes thanks to his hood, giving him a sinister appearance.
The Man Behind the Man: Convinced Batou to invade Grannvale and made the Princes of Verdane into his pawns. Though in a subversion, he takes orders from Manfroy.
Poisoned Weapons: FENRIR.
Smug Snake: Always wearing a smug grin and supremely confident in his dark magic. To compound this, his artwork had him wrapped with some sort of magical snake, just so the symbolism is complete.

The Twelve Crusaders

The twelve fighters that went through blood rites with the Dragon Tribe in what's know as the Miracle of Darna, then fought and eventually overthrew the Lopto Empire during the Gran Calender Years 632-648. Each of them has a weapon infused with the power of a certain member of the Dragon Tribe, and only the crusader who wielded their weapon and their descendants with major holy blood can wield them. Also, each Crusader has a holy blood line named after them (except Heim, whose holy blood line is called Naga).

Baldur the Holy Knight (Baldr, Baldo)

Likely class: Paladin

Heroes Prefer Swords: Tyrfing.
Knight in Shining Armor: Most likely.
Mage Killer: Tyrfing gives its user high magic defense.
Red Baron: "Crusader of Light".
Spell My Name with an "S": His sword. Is it Tyrfing, Tyrhung or Tailfing?

Saint Heim

Likely class: Sage

Badass Beard
Church Militant: Him and Bragi, though he was even more proactive.
Facial Markings: One on his forehead. Deirdre has it too (and covers it with her circlet), which is what proves her Naga heritage in-story.
Light'Em Up: Naga, his tome.
Red Baron: "Saint Heim".

Hezul the Black Knight

Likely class: Paladin

Big Screwed-Up Family: His descendants, both the Royal House of Augustria and the Nodion family. More exactly: Hezul's youngest daughter, the one who inherited the major Hezul blood, married a Nodion nobleman. The Nodions are the ones with major Hezul blood and not the Augustrians, who either only have minor or nothing at all (like in Chagall's case). This is the basis for many, many of Eldigan and Lachesis's troubles later.
Heroes Prefer Swords: Mystletainn.
Red Baron: "Black Knight".
Spell My Name with an "S": Or better said, his sword's name. Mistoltin? Mistolteen? Mistilteinn? Mystletainn? Some alternate spelling of any of these?

Ulir the Bow User

Likely class: Sniper

Ambiguous Gender: We don't know if they're a lady or a gentleman.
- Action Girl/Lady of War: If they are female.
The Archer: Ichii-bal.
Born Lucky: People with Ulir blood tend to have the highest Luck growth bonuses in-game (a whooping case of 30%, alongside the charas's natural growths). In-story, this is pretty much a legend in Jugdral, which is invoked by the Genre Savvy Adean in the Oosawa manga.
Red Baron: "Bow User".
Spell My Name with an "S": Ichival? Ichaival? Ichii-bal?

Njörun the Lance Knight (Noba, Nova)

Likely class: Duke Knight

Action Girl: Of the Lady of War variety.
Blade on a Stick: Gáe Bolg.
Break the Cutie: Njörun was Happily Married to a Thracian knight, who doubled as Number Two to Dain. Some time after the war she tried to stop a fight between them, but accidentally killed her hubby in what's known as The Tragedy of Gáe Bolg...
- Kill the Cutie: She's Driven to Suicide afterwards.
Brother-Sister Team: With her brother Dain.
Cain and Abel: Their descendants.
- Generation Xerox
Hachimaki
Lady of War
Red Baron: "Lance Knight".
Tall, Dark and Bishoujo

Dain the Dragon Knight

Likely class: Dragon Master

Badass Long Hair
Blade on a Stick: Gungnir.
Brother-Sister Team: With his sister Njörun.
Cain and Abel: Their descendants.
- Generation Xerox
Dragon Rider: He's called the Dragon Knight, so he almost certainly rode a wyvern into battle.
Hachimaki
Red Baron: "Dragon Knight".
Tall, Dark and Handsome

Ced the Wind User (Sety)

Likely class: Sage

Blow You Away: Forseti conjures wind magic.
Peek-a-Bangs
Red Baron: "Wind User".
Tall, Dark and Handsome

Thrud the Mage Knight (Tordo)

Likely class: Mage Knight

Generation Xerox: Subverted: Reinhardt is said to be like his second coming and to look a lot like him... but he's not of Thrud blood, since he only works as a highranked commander for the Frieges.
Magic Knight
Red Baron: "Mage Knight".
Shock and Awe: Mjolnir is a tome of thunder magic.
White-Haired Pretty Boy: His silvery hair becomes a distinguishing physical trait among the Frieges, with Ethnia (brunette) and her children Amid (green hair) and Linda (brunette too) as his only not silver-haired descendants.

Fjalar the Mage Fighter (Fala)

Likely class: Mage Fighter

Lady of Black Magic/Magic Knight
Playing with Fire: Valflame allows its caster to use the power of fire magic.
Red Baron: "Mage Fighter".
Tall, Dark and Bishoujo

Neir the Axe Fighter

Likely class: Warrior

Always Someone Better: All his ingame descendants are overshadowed by Thrud's: Langobalt, by Reptor; Danan, by Bloom; Brian, by Ishtar, etc.
An Axe to Grind: Helswath.
BFS: The aforementioned Swanchika is the heaviest weapon in Fire Emblem history! And it hits from two spaces away! But it also shows the downside of this trope as it heavily slows down its user, who will have little chance of landing a hit on speedy Balmung users.
Red Baron: "Axe Knight".

Od the Sword Saint (Odo)

Likely class: Swordmaster

Bragi the Arch Bishop (Blaggi, Blagi)

Likely class: Bishop

Church Militant
Heroes Prefer Swords: Whoever uses the Bragi Sword, blessed by him.
The Messiah: Actually sympathetic to the people of the Lopto Church, as some of them helped raise him.
Red Baron: "Arch Bishop".
Sole Survivor: Of the Saint Maera priests, all slain after the sacred wars. He built the Tower of Bragi to honor them, but after his death, its purpose was forgotten.
White-Haired Pretty Boy
White Mage

Loptousian Empire

Emperor Galle

Dark Is Evil
The Emperor
Face Heel Turn
Religion of Evil: Founds the Loptousian Empire and the Sect.
Sinister Minister: He was a bishop before making a deal with Loptous and conquering the continent.

Saint Maera (Maira)

Cain and Abel: With his older brother, one of the Galle Emperors.
Dark Is Not Evil: Tried to Take a Third Option by having people worship Loptous willingly, and not as an evil God, but as a savior. It didn't work.
The Messiah
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Dragon Tribe

Loptous (Loptyr, Loputousu)

Bigger Bad
Cain and Abel: With the other Dragons, and especially Naga and Forseti.
God of Evil: Regarded as such.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Of Medeus from Fire Emblem Akaneia. Word of God says the Jugdral games occur in the same universe as Akaneia, but 1000 years prior. Meaning they're most likely of the same tribe.

Forseti (Holsety)

Class: Sage (shown as one in the attract mode)

Blow You Away: Forseti, the wind tome he created for Crusader Ced and his descendants's use.
Empathic Weapon: To a degree. Forseti himself was the youngest and most Hot-Blooded of the Dragons, so he put a lot of his own power and love for humanity in the tome, and this is why not only the spellbook is so powerful and has his name, but one of the reasons why the Forseti users "inherit Forseti's will as well as his power."
God Is Good: As said above, he genuinely loves humanity and is among the most sympathetic to their plight.
Soul Jar: Uses Prince Lewyn as one. It's not clear for how long this has been going on: some sources say it happened as soon as Rahna gave Lewyn the Forseti, others say it happened after Belhalla. In the Oosawa manga, it's hinted that Forseti's spirit can speak to Lewyn through the tome, and he does it for the first time when Ferry gives him the Forseti, which Rahna manages to give her; it's not explained though if Forseti fully takes control of Lewyn's body in that moment or not.
Voluntary Shapeshifter: Took a human form to contact the Twelve Crusaders, alongside his Dragon siblings.

Naga (Narga)

For Naga's tropes, see his section here.

Salamander

God Is Good
Playing with Fire: Valflame, which he gave to the Magic Knight Fjalar.
Voluntary Shapeshifter: Also took a human form, but as an old man.
