Line 9:
'''Voiced by:''' Natsuko Kuwatani (Japanese, ''RD''), Lani Minella (English, ''RD'') }}
----
* {{spoiler|[[Birthmark of Destiny]]: Notable even among the branded. Micaiah's brand marks her as the true Apostle.}}
* [[The Chosen One]]: How Daein and others see her to be, due to her [[Healing Hands]] and having been able to free the country from Begnion's slavery. Dips a little into [[Dark Messiah]] territory, due to doing some dark things in the later part of the game.
* [[The Chosen One]]
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Is in posession of the Darkness affinity. Despite this, she wields [[Light'Em Up|light magic]] and healing staves and is one of the kindest things this side of Tellius... as long as your name is not Ike, that is.
** Her class in ''Awakening'' (as [[Downloadable Content|DLC]]) is "Dark Mage".
Line 17:
* [[Distress Ball]]: She catches it a few times. Micaiah: needs to be rescued by Sothe in the ''first cinematic scene'' when mooks grab her [[Standard Female Grab Area]]; needs broken out of jail - by Sothe again - after walking into a trap in the 1-4; requires rescue by the Black Knight when she walks off by herself, falls asleep, and gets surrounded by enemies in 1-9; and gives up hope ("Ugh... They're so powerful... Are we... destined to perish here?") only to be once again rescued and inspired by the Black Knight in 4-3.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Again, unless your name is Ike. Though she eventually does soften up to him.
* [[Hair Decorations]]
* [[Hair Decorations]]: Wears a blue scarf in her hair in Part 1.
* {{spoiler|[[The High Queen]]: Becomes Queen of Daein in the [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Half-Human Hybrid]]: She's a heron branded, specifically descended from Lehran and Altina}}
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]
* {{spoiler|[[Half-Human Hybrid]]}}
* [[Healing Hands]]: Her Sacrifice ability, which is [[Cast from Hit Points]]. It's this power that makes her so much of a [[The Messiah|Messiah]] to Daein.
* {{spoiler|[[The High Queen]]: Becomes Queen of Daein in the [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]}}
* [[La Résistance]]
* [[La Résistance]]: Member of the Dawn Brigade, the only group fighting back against the Begnion Occupation Army.
** [[The Revolution Will Not Be Vilified]]
** [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized]]
* [[Light'Em Up]]: The only unit in the Tellius series who can use Light magic in the first Tier.
* [[Line-of-Sight Name]]: [[Word of God]] claims this was the origin of the "Dawn Brigade" name.
Line 41 ⟶ 39:
* [[Rags to Royalty]]: Two types at once.
* [[Red Mage]]: After promotion, she can use both offensive and healing magic.
* [[The Revolution Will Not Be Vilified]]: The Begnion Occupation Army are horrible to the citizens of Daein, and she's one of the few who fight back.
* [[Secret Legacy]]
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Arguably the best example in the series, due to her tragically low HP and Speed.
Line 60 ⟶ 59:
----
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Upon his promotion to Whisper.
* [[Badass Normal]]: See [[World of Cardboard Speech]] below.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: In ''Radiant Dawn''. It's bad at first; after he promotes to Whisper it's just plain [http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Sothe.png ridiculous].
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: In the first game.
Line 72 ⟶ 71:
* [[Ho Yay]]: Micaiah makes fun of it in-universe, due to his [[Hero Worshipper]] tendencies.
{{quote|'''Micaiah:''' "Lord Ike, hero of the Crimean Liberation, leader of the Greil Mercenaries, and father of Sothe's children."}}
* [[Jerkass Facade]]: In ''Path of Radiance'', he's hesitant to get close to anyone and tends to gives an extra cold shoulder to make sure they get the message.
* [[Jerkass Facade]]
* [[Knife Nut]]: Uses knives as his only weapons.
* [[Master of Unlocking]]: As per his class. In ''PoR'', if for some reason you don't like Volke lightening your wallet to pick a lock, Sothe will do it for free.
Line 80 ⟶ 79:
* [[The Southpaw]]: All of Sothe's official artwork depicts him wielding a dagger left-handed.
* [[Supporting Protagonist]]: In ''Radiant Dawn''.
** [[Took a Level in Badass]]: In ''Path of Radiance'', he couldn't promote, leveled slowly, and was prone to death. In Radiant Dawn, he's buff, taller, and stronger. He's much more useful. At least in Part 1.
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]
** In ''Path of Radiance'', he couldn't promote, leveled slowly, and was prone to death. In Radiant Dawn, he's buff, taller, and stronger. He's much more useful. At least in Part 1.
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: Although [[Only Sane Man|there are very]] '''''[[Only Sane Man|very]]''''' [[Only Sane Man|good reasons for that]].
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: He immediately calls out Micaiah for Daein's sudden inclusion to the Laguz Alliance war, not only for fighting with the same country that oppressed them after the Mad King's war, but for 'laguz hunting' when they were evidently friends with them.
Line 100 ⟶ 98:
----
* [[Black Magic]]: Pelleas is one of the only playable characters who can wield Dark Magic. (Thus, on your first playthrough, all Dark tomes you come across will be [[Vendor Trash]].)
* [[Shock and Awe]]: The other magic type he can use other than Dark.
** [[Casting a Shadow]]
** [[Shock and Awe]]
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Will become this for Micaiah if you kill him.
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: His pact with a spirit to become a Spirit Charmer.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]] : {{spoiler|Though this can be prevented in your second playthrough and after.}}
* [[Senseless Sacrifice]]: Ending the Blood Pact necessitates the destruction of the contract, in addition to death of one of the Pact-makers, meaning that Lekain could still invoke the pact after his death.
** [[Senseless Sacrifice]]
* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: He willingly trusts [[Mad Scientist|Izuka]].
* {{spoiler|[[Martyr Without a Cause]]: If you do not save him.}}
* [[Momma's Boy]]
* {{spoiler|[[Optional Party Member]]: Only recruitable in a second playthrough and onwards}}.
* [[Puppet King]]: One to Lekain, but only because if he does not do as Lekain wishes, Daein's citizens will die.
* [[Puppet King]]
* [[Rags to Royalty]]
* [[Skilled but Naive]]
* [[Shy Blue-Haired Girl|Shy Blue-haired Boy]]: A male version.
* {{spoiler|[[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]: All things considered, all killing him (which you ''have'' to do on a first playthrough) does is add yet another tragedy to the pile. The second playthrough is generally considered the canon story, however}}.
* [[Take a Third Option]]: This is how you save his life.
Line 161 ⟶ 158:
{{quote|'''Class:''' Falcon Knight -> Seraph Knight (''RD'')}}
----
* [[Four-Star Badass]]: Commander of Begnion's Holy Guards.
** [[Four-Star Badass]]
* [[Blade on a Stick]]
* [[Lady of War]]: Perfectly poised and elegant, even on the battlefield.
* [[Proper Lady]]: Polite and kind to most everyone, even Laguz.
* [[Silk Hiding Steel]]: Don't let her gentle demeanor fool you. She ''earned'' her position in the army.
 
=== Skrimir ===
Line 178 ⟶ 174:
{{quote|''Skrimir:'' Ah, here comes the great strategist! Don't be so shy. Come sit next to me.
''Soren:'' Not if you begged me, Skrimir. (pointedly sits next to Ike) }}
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Long Hair]]
* [[Break the Haughty]]/[[Heroic BSOD]]: He lost a good deal of confidence and self-esteem after being thrashed by General Zelgius in a one-on-one duel.
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: The reason behind his character development.
* '''[[Hot-Blooded]]''': Incredibly so, and remains such even after he loses his duel with Zelgius.
* [[Large and In Charge]]: Since Caineghis can't leave Gallia's capital unattended and Giffca is off doing "other duties" (whatever the hell those are), Skrimir was the only logical choice to lead the war effort, and it's just as well since it's quickly apparent that he has a lot of learning to do before becoming king.
* [[Large Ham]]: [[Attack! Attack! Attack!|"Advance! Advance! Advance!"]]
Line 188 ⟶ 182:
* Leitmotif: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLVJifsP8AU Skrimir's Pride].
* [[No Sense of Direction]] / [[Tempting Fate]]: In 3-8, Ranulf explains that there are two exits to the Kauku Caves, the [[Death Course|burning underground hellhole]] they'll have to navigate to escape Zelgius: one way that leads into Gallia (safety), and the other into Goldoa (no-man's-land of dragon Laguz and certain death). [[Foregone Conclusion|Go on, guess which one]] Skrimir stumbles upon first and leads everyone into.
* [[Warrior Prince]]: Next in line for the throne of Gallia, and enjoys fighting.
 
=== Nailah ''(Nike)'' ===
Line 196 ⟶ 190:
{{quote|'''Class:''' Wolf Queen (''RD'')}}
----
* [[Action Girl]]: Nailah is a super powerful Laguz Queen, and a strong contender for the Endgame.
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Blood Knight]]: Nailah enjoys fighting immensely, to the point where nearly all of her Boss Conversations in Part 3 are about how much she's looking forward to fighting her opponent.
* [[Badass]]
** [[Big Badass Wolf]]
* [[Blood Knight]]
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: The biggest breasts among the protagonists, and also the only female [[Purposefully Overpowered|Laguz Royal]].
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: A rare female example. She even keeps it in wolf form.
Line 222 ⟶ 214:
* [[Mythology Gag]]: His name - it's a combination of Naga, the Divine Dragon God of the Akaneia and Jugdral games, and of Kurth, a plot-driving character who bears Naga holy blood in ''Genealogy''.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Most players of ''PoR'' should immediately recognize him when {{spoiler|he appears as a wandering pilgrim named Kurth in Part 1.}}
 
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Like all Black Dragon tribe members.
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: His breath is powerful enough to cause a castle tower to come crashing down.
Line 235 ⟶ 226:
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: You hear people rave all about his strength for almost two whole games before getting to command it yourself, and he doesn't disappoint in the least. It turns out that his position as King '''is''' dependent on his strength.
* '''[[Badass]]''': His roar is enough to scare away the Black Knight.
** [[Badass Beard]]: He has one that resembles a lion's mane.
** [[Badass Cape]]: Wears an ornate one when not in lion form.
** [[Badass Long Hair]]
* [[Eleventh-Hour Ranger]]: Joins just in time for the last chapter, and [[No Kill Like Overkill|can one round enemy generals while taking no damage the rare times they do hit]].
* [[Large and In Charge]]: One of the largest playable units, and he's the King of Gallia.
* [[Leitmotif]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VSwmzxFHZQ Lion King Caineghis] is his conversation theme.
** And [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muwP_DMe5nk March of the Lion King] is used whenever he goes into battle against non-boss enemies.
Line 264 ⟶ 254:
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: [[Flat Character|Maybe]]
* [[Keet]]: From what little development he gets, he might just be this.
* [[Those Two Guys]]/[[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Leo.
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Believes he can take back Daein with his own two hands and a sharp blade. Leonardo is quick to point out how unrealistic this dream is, and to Edward's credit, he concedes that this is mostly just a goal to work towards.
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]
 
=== Nolan ''(Noyce)'' ===
Line 273 ⟶ 263:
----
* [[An Axe to Grind]]
* [[Badass Beard]]: Has a goatee, and is one of the better Dawn Brigade members.
* Badass
** [[Badass Beard]]
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Easily the oldest member of the Dawn Brigade. He looks to be in his mid-30's while the rest of the Dawn Brigade looks to be in their late teens or early twenties at most.
* [[Crutch Character]]: Starts at twice as high a level as Edward and Leonardo, and (especially in Hard/[[Difficulty by Region|Maniac]] mode) is instrumental in keeping the gang alive through the early chapters. His good growths keep him useful all throughout the game as well.
Line 280 ⟶ 269:
** Again, becomes a background role after the first couple of chapters.
* [[Restored My Faith in Humanity]]: Loses in his trust in his fellow man after he loses his fortune to treacherous associates. The [[Jerkass]] status of the occupation army causes him to muster the will power to give any damns back.
* [[Team Dad]]: He gives advice to the younger members of the Dawn Brigade in every Base Conversation he's in.
* [[Team Dad]]: [[Flat Character|Probably]]
 
=== Leonardo ===
Line 287 ⟶ 276:
----
* [[The Archer]]
* [[Bishonen]]: His ending even mentions his good looks.
* [[Blue Blood]]: [[All There in the Manual|According to the]] [[No Export for You|Japanese]] [[All There in the Manual|website for Radiant Dawn]].
* [[Can't Catch Up]]: By far has the worst potential of the game's three archers. Both Shinon and Rolf can become practically shotguns with legs with little to no effort; Leonardo, despite having lots of levels to gain, requires serious babying to get close to that.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: After the first couple of chapters.
* [[Military School]]: Was at one until he had to flee from the occupation army.
* [[Those Two Guys]]/[[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Edward.
Line 300 ⟶ 289:
* [[Can't Catch Up]]: Due to the structure of the game and her status as a low-level healer, it takes a lot of time and effort to get her to promote, though unless you're specifically trying to train her, it's usually not necessary.
* [[Light'Em Up]]: After promotion.
* [[Nice Girl]]: [[Flat Character|Seems like one]].
* [[White Magician Girl]]: The only cleric the Dawn Brigade gets.
 
=== Aran ''(Brad)'' ===
Line 309 ⟶ 298:
{{quote|'''Class:''' Soldier -> Halberdier -> Sentinel (''RD'')}}
----
* [[Blade on a Stick]]: He'll only be able to wield lances.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: More or less soon after recruitment.
* [[Informed Flaw]]: The epilogue mentions that he was valued for his honest but [[The Klutz|clumsy]] work, but is never shown to be particularly clumsy.
Line 326 ⟶ 315:
* [[Brick Joke]]: She's pretty much the punchline to Brom's support conversations with Zihark from the first game.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: IMMEDIATELY after recruitment.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Has two.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Subverted—she is of the class, but her [[Mage Killer|growths are quite different.]] A common joke is that she'd be better off as a Pegasus Knight... [[Fridge Horror|then again, imagine her]] [[Hilarity Ensues|riding a pegasus]].
 
Line 345 ⟶ 334:
* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: One of his support lines is "...Hey. You ever wonder what would happen if I just ate everyone we fought? Would the rest keep fighting?"
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]
** [[Not So Stoic]]: Much like Leanne, he only appears to be stoic due the language barrier. If you translate some of his supports, you'll realize that he's actually quite sociable and doesn't really like the fact that hardly anyone can understand him.
* [[The Stoic]]
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: He doesn't wear a shirt when not in wolf form.
** [[Not So Stoic]]: Much like Leanne, he only appears to be stoic due the language barrier. If you translate some of his supports, you'll realize that he's actually quite sociable and doesn't really like the fact that hardly anyone can understand him.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
 
=== Fiona ''(Frieda)'' ===
Line 356 ⟶ 344:
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: How she ultimately attained her office—her father, Lanvega, was one of the Four Great Riders.
** [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: [[Averted Trope|It doesn't apply to her, though.]]
* [[Blade on a Stick]]: Can only uses lances until she promotes into Silver Knight.
* [[Can't Catch Up]] / [[Magikarp Power]]: Good growths and brings two excellent skills, which means squat for Fiona as her base stats are absolute rubbish. Even in the chapter she joins in, it's very difficult to train her without killing her, and even after the effort is invested, the payoff can be chancey.
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: Twice. She never joined Ashnard's war effort in Crimea (a fact Jarod makes a point of passive-aggressively rubbing in), but cooperated with Begnion during the occupation - up until seeing civilians getting skewered on a whim and used as hostages convinced Fiona and her knights to mutiny.
Line 373 ⟶ 361:
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: At the point that you get her, most laguz can finish off a beorc enemy in a single turn; Vika often can't. When she rejoins late in the game drastically underleveled, she'll be lucky to do more than [[Cherry Tapping|a couple of damage per attack]] (and it may take some BEXP to even make ''that'' much possible), yet she remains useful due to her ability to dodge just about everything.
* [[Magikarp Power]]: Played strangely. She's a good enough unit, but over-leveled when she first appears, and under-leveled when you get her back. It'll take some planning and sacrifices to bring her back up to par, but once she reaches higher levels, she can even match Naesala (with the exception of the latter's Formshift ability).
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: She's a raven laguz, so obviously.
 
=== Rafiel ===
Line 381 ⟶ 369:
{{quote|'''Class:''' Heron (''RD'')}}
----
* [[Bishounen]]: Like all herons, he's very pretty.
* {{spoiler|[[Happiness in Slavery]]: His backstory reveals that he was bought as a slave by Hetzel, but he took care of him and planned to return him back to the forest. They even had a kind of friendship, but then the Serenes Forest incident happened.}}
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Common to all known Herons. His is past his knees.
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: He's a bird laguz, though his wings are broken.
** [[Broken Angel]]: His wings are unusable due to an injury that happened some time before the game starts.
 
=== Leanne ===
Line 394 ⟶ 382:
----
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: If you read the translations of her language, she's actually quite sassy.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Dracoknights will take her hostage and try to kidnap her in her joining chapter of ''Radiant Dawn''.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]
* [[Eloquent in My Native Tongue]]: Can only speak the Ancient Language, but is actually quite sassy when she speaks.
* [[Opposites Attract]]: Seems to have a thing for Naesala. {{spoiler|And she ''does'' get to him in the end, marrying the guy and bearing him a [[Gender Equals Breed|little heron girl and a little raven boy.]] Commence rejoicing from laguz everywhere.}}
* [[The Pollyanna]]
Line 401 ⟶ 389:
* [[Spoony Bard]]
* [[Morality Pet]]: Is this to more than a few characters, among them [[Blood Knight|Tibarn]], [[Pay Evil Unto Evil|Reyson]], and [[Manipulative Bastard|Naesala]].
* [[Woman in White]]: Only ever seen wearing white.
* {{spoiler|[[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: If you manage to get an A Support between her and Naesala.}}
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: A bird laguz.
 
=== Nealuchi ===
Line 412 ⟶ 400:
----
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: A bird laguz.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: For Naesala and to a lesser extent the Heron siblings.
* [[Team Dad]]
Line 429 ⟶ 417:
* [[Fragile Speedster]]
* [[Just Like Robin Hood]]: The main reason she steals is to be able to buy medicine for her sick mother.
* [[Knife Nut]]: Can only use knives.
* [[Momma's Boy|Momma's Girl]]: Loves her mother quite a bit.
* [[Only in It For the Money]]
* [[Trickster]]: She lights up at the mention of espionage, and is horrified when Brom and Nephenee mistake it for some kind of rash.
Line 437 ⟶ 425:
{{quote|'''Class:''' Tiger (''RD'')}}
----
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: May be either. Supplementary material reveals that Kyza is indeed attracted to Ranulf and sees Lyre as a romantic rival. However, Kyza uses female pronouns and speech patters in the Japanese version, and while this is normally a Japanese stereotype of [[Camp Gay]] characters, the 20th anniversary encyclopedia describes him as "the body is male but the heart is female?" It's difficult to say though, because Kyza is [[Out of Focus]] in the game.
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]
* [[Don't Feed the Troll]]: It works.
* [[Flat Character]]
