Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones/Characters: Difference between revisions

The Princess of Renais. [[Lady of War|Elegant, beautiful]], [[Plucky Girl|strongwilled and just]], as well as into diplomacy and politics rather than into war despite being [[Action Girl|an accomplished swordswoman]], but also being [[Incest Subtext|heavily implied]] to have an [[Brother-Sister Incest|incestuous crush]] on [[Twincest|her twin brother Ephraim]] (though she can form relationships with her other friend Innes or other male characters, via supports). When Grado invaded Renais, Eirika escaped with [[The Lancer|her guardian]] [[Heroes Want Redheads|Seth]] to the neighboring Frelia and worked her way to uncover the mystery of Grado's invasion, one that leads to {{spoiler|a resurrection of [[Sealed Evil in a Can|the Demon King Fomortiis]].}}

 

----

* [[Action Girl]]

The Crown Prince of Renais, who unlike his twin sister is more into combat and war strategies rather than politics. He wields a spear instead of the standard Fire Emblem hero weapon the sword. When Eirika escapes, Ephraim was already on the way to slow Grado's advances. He eventually joins up with Eirika and helped her in her quest, eventually learning that he will have to take responsibility to be a good king, not just fighting all the time.

 

----

* [[The Ace]]: Deconstructed. Ephraim starts off so damn amazing he's a borderline [[God Mode Sue]]. However, when he gets back to Renais, Seth tells him that the citizens are ''not'' cheering for his return. They're only happy because {{spoiler|Orson's reign of terror is over}}. Ephraim takes this as the sign that his [[Leeroy Jenkins]] tendencies haven't been great for his people and begins to mature from then on.

The King of Renais, Fado is killed shortly into the story by {{spoiler|Prince Lyon}}. His death motivates his children.

 

----

* [[Badass Beard]]

A high-ranking knight in the service of Renais, Seth is ordered early on to escort Eirika to Frelia. He acts as [[The Lancer]] to whichever sibling is the main character in the story from there.

 

----

* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: On Eirika, if they support to A level.

A fresh knight in the Renais military, Franz joins Seth in escorting Eirika across the border. Franz is sent ahead initially and returns [[The Cavalry|later with Gilliam]]. His older brother, Forde, is also a Cavalier but he's under the direct service of Ephraim alongside Kyle and Orson.

 

----

* [[Birds of a Feather]]: With Amelia.

A retired former soldier of Renais, Garcia left the military after his wife Risa died so he could raise his son Ross. When father and son are saved by Eirika's group early on, Ross manages to convince Garcia to rejoin the military and fight for the sake of Renais.

 

----

* [[An Axe to Grind]]: At first, though if he promotes into a Warrior, he'll also become [[The Archer]], or he can prove that [[Heroes Prefer Swords]].

Garcia's son, one of the three new "trainee" classes. In this case, he's a Journeyman, a sort of Pre-Fighter/Pirate class. Ross is eager to become a great warrior like his father.

 

----

* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Like his father, and he can pick up the same sub-weapons as his father, too.

A resident of Renais, and an Archer of reasonable skill. Neimi's village is sacked by Brigands. Eirika agrees to help her find her childhood friend, Colm. She turns out to be the granddaughter and disciple of Sethla, a legendary archer.

 

----

* [[The Archer]]: She can also become a [[Hot Chick with a Sword]] ''and'' a [[Horse Archer]] if you promote her into a ranger.

* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: A handmirror that belonged to her [[Missing Mom]]. Colm went to the bandits's hideout specifically to retrieve it.

** She actually has two MMG's. One is the aforementioned handmirror, the other is her archery gauntlet that she uses in battle.

* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]

* [[Tender Tears]]: Cries very, very easily.

Neimi's childhood friend, and a Thief. The group encounters him stealing from a group of Bandits to reclaim Neimi's [[Memento MacGuffin]]... after he steals Eirika's Lunar Brace. Afterwards, he returns the bracelet and joins the group alongside Neimi.

 

----

* [[Badass]]: Well, he IS a thief.

A humble, gentle monk the party encounters trying to purge the woods of Monsters. Artur joins them after the incident.

 

----

* [[Bishonen]]: Lampshaded by Tethys

This [[Insufferable Genius|proud]] mage is old friends with Artur; she joins during the same battle he does.

 

----

* [[Action Girl]]

A knight of Renais, and one of two soldiers under Ephraim's command. Serious and straightforward.

 

----

* [[Blade on a Stick]] and [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: Though like Franz and Forde, can also gain [[An Axe to Grind]].

The other of Ephraim's loyal men, and Franz's older brother. Easygoing and carefree.

 

----

* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: To his little brother Franz.

A knight who serves Ephraim and is in his party starting {{spoiler|and ending}} with Chapter 5x. {{spoiler|In Chapter 8, he betrays the heroes and takes residence in Renais Castle. He spends the rest of his days with his [[Empty Shell]] of a revived wife, Monica, pretending that she is alive, [[Lack of Empathy|uncaring of his surroundings]]. He is the boss of Chapter 16, where he (as well as said zombified wife) is killed by Ephraim and his group.}}

 

----

* [[Badass Beard]]

* {{spoiler|[[Climax Boss]]: Chapter 16 concludes the Second Story Arc in the game, given that it liberates Renais Castle and pretty much concludes the fight against the Grado Army.}}

* [[Despair Event Horizon]] {{spoiler|''and'' [[Love Makes You Evil]]: He and Monica were very [[Happily Married]]. Monica, however, was an [[Ill Girl]] and died some time before the game started. The loss threw Orson in such an emotional and moral turmoil that when Riev offered to revive her, he immediately betrayed his land to get a chance to have his beloved wife back.}}

* [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness]]: When he's {{spoiler|with you, his eyes look normal. They become this when he is Chapter 16's boss.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]}}

King of Frelia, Hayden greatly helps the Twins in their quest, dispatching his armies to fight back the Grado Empire.

 

----

* [[The Archer]]: Of the [[Horse Archer]] variety, at least in the Creature Campaign.

 

 

----

* [[Badass Beard]]: Has a really nice goatee.

A Priest of Frelia, Moulder is dispatched alongside Gilliam and Vanessa to aid Eirika.

 

----

* [[Badass Moustache]]: So awesome that it leads to people claiming him to be a [[Memetic Badass]].

A Pegasus Knight of Frelia, Vanessa is also dispatched to aid Eirika. She and her older sister Syrene are the ones who trained Tana in both fighting and pegasi riding. Her pegasus's name is Titania.

 

----

* [[Action Girl]]

Princess of Frelia, and a fresh Pegasus Knight, Tana sneaks out to aid the Twins against her father and brother's will, with different results depending on which path you're following. Her Pegasus's name is Achaneus.

 

----

* [[Action Girl]]

The Crown Prince of Frelia. Innes is dispatched to Jehanna after the twins reunite, and they end up encountering him along the way in her storyline... and right on time, since he has caught quite the [[Distress Ball]]: depending on the route, he'll be either under attack from Pablo's mercenary troops (alongside the mercenaries Gerik and Tethys) or trapped in Jehanna Hall as it burns down (alongside Eirika and Saleh).

 

----

* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: To Tana

* [[The Comically Serious]]: He takes himself really, really seriously. And yet he can be hilarious when he tries not to be. Seee his talk with Gerik and Tethys in Eirika's path and his supports with L'Arachel for good examples.

* [[The Determinator]]: He won't give up even if he's dying:

* [[Expy]]: Of [[Fire Emblem Elibe/Characters/Sword of Seals|Klein]]. Comes from a noble house; joins about halfway through the game<ref>although Innes joins later in Ephraim's route</ref> as a Level 1 Sniper, but unlike [[Crutch Character|most prepromoted units]], is potentially useful in the endgame if trained properly; is a [[Aloof Big Brother|cold]] [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|but]] [[Big Brother Instinct|caring]] older brother to [[Big Brother Worship|an adoring sister]] [["Well Done, Son" Guy|who only wants to make him proud]]; has a strong friendship with a [[Good Scars, Evil Scars|battle-scarred mercenary]] and potentially gets romantically involved with one of his [[Bodyguard Crush|pegasus knight subordinates]]...even the length of their names is the same, at least in English.

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: His heart is in the right place, but he's also very stubborn and competitive.

A knight of Frelia, she's encountered very late in the game along the way to Rausten. She is also Vanessa's older sister and greatly admired by Tana, whom the sisters taught all they knew in regards to fighting.

 

----

* [[Always Someone Better]]: To Vanessa.

** Which becomes a case of [[Story and Gameplay Segregation]] given that it is very possible for Vanessa to surpass her in stats by the time they reunite.

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: To Tana and Vanessa.

The Queen of Jehanna, known as "Ismaire of the White Dunes". Just, wise, calm and kind-hearted, she has been reigning alone ever since her husband perished and her son left the palace. Very well-loved by her people. {{spoiler|Sadly murdered by Caellach about halfway through the game. Her son is actually Joshua the Myrmidon.}}

 

----

* [[Determined Widow]]

A mercenary encountered early in the game. {{spoiler|Also the Prince of Jehanna, in disguise.}}

----

* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: According to her supports with Gerik, she taught herself how to dance by memorising and mimicking the moves of a famous dancer she once saw in action.

A mercenary working for Gerik, but circumstances in either route cause her to be lead astray from him - either simply being deployed in the wrong region, or deployed on the opposite army he's fighting on.

 

----

* [[Action Girl]]

A trainee mage under Saleh's tutelage, and younger brother of Tethys.

 

----

* [[Adorably Precocious Child]]

The wise, calm leader of the Theocracy of Rausten.

 

----

* [[Church Militant]]: Less than his niece, but it's still there. Rausten ''does'' have its own troops after all.

The Crown Princess of Rausten, L'Arachel is on a self-appointed glorious quest to purge the monsters from the world, like her deceased parents did in the past. [[Love Freak|She's]] [[Large Ham|certainly]] [[Lord Error-Prone|an]] [[Church Militant|interesting]] [[Genki Girl|character]].

 

----

* [[Adult Child]]: She's not exactly an adult, ''per se'', but she's around Ephraim's age... and the significantly younger Ross, Amelia, and Ewan are all ''way'' more mature than her.

* [[Genki Girl]]

* [[Hidden Depths]]: While she's portrayed as cheerful and spoiled, her supports with Eirika show the sadness that she feels due to being [[Parental Abandonment|orphaned]].

* [[Holy Hand Grenade]]: If promoted into a Valkyrie.

L'Arachel's bodyguard. A cheerful, fight-happy man who's not too booksmart, but very friendly and loyal.

* [[Gentle Giant]]: His supports [[Friend to All Children|with Ewan and Myrrh]], especially the latter.

* [[Gonk]]: Compounded by the fact that he fights in an army filled with inexplicably attractive characters, not to mention L'Arachel herself.

* [[Large Ham]]: "GYAHAHAHAHA!"

A soft-spoken cleric of Grado, Natasha defects when she's told about the truth of Grado's goals by her dying mentor, and joins Eirika's troupe.

 

----

* [[The Cassandra]]: Nobody believes her when she tries to explain that she's not a traitor. Even Seth and Eirika were a little distrustful when she told them, but ultimately took her in.

A newly recruited soldier in the Grado army, coming from a small town named Silva. She starts as an enemy unit, but can be recruited into the group and can promote into either a Cavalier or Knight with some training.

 

----

* [[Action Girl]]: Of the [[Badass Adorable]] and [[Magikarp Power]] type: she starts out very weak, but with some training she becomes an awesome fighter. Made easier due to the existence of the lifesaving Tower of Valni.

A wyvern-riding of Grado, Cormag defects when he begins to question Grado's goals. Younger brother to Glen, one of the Grado Generals.

A lazy and vocal mercenary from Carcino.

 

----

* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Due to his raising he's an excellent [[Con Man]] and dancer, but horribly apathetic.

* [[Money, Dear Boy]]:

* [[Trickster Mentor]]: To Colm, in their supports.

* [[Visible Sigh]]

----

* [[Affably Evil]]

 

 

----

* [[The Caretaker]]: Seems to act as one for Lyon later in the game.

----

* [[Bastard Understudy]]

The boss of Chapter 13 on Eirika's path. Quiet, brainy, a rather strong fighter. He also was one of Caellach's old mercenary companions, and followed him when he went to Grado's army.

* [[Genius Bruiser]]

* [[Graceful Loser]]: If you kill him in battle, he'll calmly praise your group.

 

=== Gheb ===

The boss of Chapter 9 on Ephraim's Path. Not exactly a major character, but he's such a [[Fountain of Memes]] that he HAS to be mentioned.

 

----

* [[An Axe to Grind]]

* [[Ascended Extra]]: There is a mod that exists with him as the main character.

* [[Bad Boss]]: Tells a reluctant [[Faceless Goons|generic|soldier]] that he'll burn him to the stake if he refuses to follow orders and that no one cares whether he or his comrades live or die When Amelia (a fresh recruit who had not even finished her training) calls him out, Gheb sends her to the first combat lines. Then say this as the battle starts.

* [[Fat Bastard]]

* [[Gonk]]

* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: Implied with Tana….
