[[File:FireEmblem Anna 9753.png|frame|Anna as she appears in ''Radiant Dawn'']]
 
Fondly dubbed the [[Series Mascot]] and the "[[Random Number God|RNG Goddess]]" by the fandom, Anna is a recurring character who has appeared in every installment except ''Gaiden''. Normally appearing in menus and the like, she occasionally gets story roles like appearing in villages, running tutorials or being the owner of Secret Shops. In ''Awakening'', she finally graduated into being a full playable character, in addition to maintaining the game's SpotPass functionality as the keeper of the Other World Gate. During ''Awakening'', it is revealed that there is more than one Anna and that the playable Anna is the merchant and other-world keeper Anna's sister.
 
Tropes about ''Awakening'' Anna go on the ''Awakening'' characters section while tropes about Anna generally go here. Tropes about both playable Anna and NPC Anna can go on both.

----
* [[Ascended Extra]]: In ''Awakening'', after thirteen games.
* [[Plucky Girl]]: They are generally characterized as this: even if they are in a tight situation, they maintain a positive attitude.
* [[Plucky Girl]]
* [[Memetic Hand Gesture]]: Resting her index finger on her face.
* [[Secret Shop]]: Their usual proprietor. [[Discussed Trope|Discussed]] in ''Shadow Dragon'' -: Jake remarks that business isn't actually looking too good for her ''because'' of the nature of the shops.
* [[Walking the Earth]]: She is strongly implied to be doing this on a multiversal scale.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You]]: GottaHer Havehair Redis Hair]]always an unnatural shade of red in every single appearance.
 
=== Jake ===
Line 410 ⟶ 408:
Anna's love interest. Formerly a citizen of Grust in Akaneia during the War of Shadows, he apparently accompanies Anna on her interuniversal travels, including doing a brief stint as one of Fargus's pirates in Elibe. Despite constantly ending up in combat situations, he regularly laments that he doesn't really have that much of a stomach for it all.

----
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: The games and supplementary materials can't decide on whether his hair is brown (FE1''Fire Emblem 1'', FE7''Fire Emblem 7'') or purple (official art, FE11''Fire Emblem 11''). It appears this traces back to his and Beck's portraits being swapped in the original Famicom game.
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Since ceasing use of his ballista, he's apparently taken a liking to axes.
** [[The Archer]]: Though he hasn't stopped using bows entirely.
Line 419 ⟶ 417:
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Didn't appear in the second book of ''Mystery of the Emblem''. This was remedied in ''Heroes of Light and Shadow''.
* [[Siege Engines]]: In ''Shadow Dragon''; by the time of ''New Mystery'', he's stopped using it.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Strangly despite Anna being present (and playable), Jake is no where to be seen in ''Awakening.''.
 
=== Naga ''(Narga)'' ===
The Divine Dragon King and protector of humanity, although an aloof and distant one. Over the course of the series's backstory, she did battle with the Earth Dragon tribe, among them [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Medeus]] and [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Loptous]], and the Dark Dragon [[Fire Emblem: Awakening|Gimle]], said to be her archrival.
 
While Naga eventually passed away, she left a lasting legacy on the world. Her bloodline lives on through her daughter Tiki, her reincarnation Nagi, and the royal family of Grandbell in Jugdral who received it through her pact with Saint Heim. The people of Akaneia and Jugdral revere her as a legendary god, though the former are largely unaware that she was in fact a female dragon. Many a hero has used holy weapons associated with her to vanquish evil -: the Falchion and Shield of Seals wielded by Marth and eventually the Iris royal family, and the Naga tome of the Grandbell royal family.
----
* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: To Holsety, and to a degree to the whole of Jugdral. In spite of her desire to protect it, she never was too fond of interacting directly with humanity, unless it was truly needed.
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: In-universe -: with the exception of her appearance before the Twelve Crusaders at the Miracle of Darna, she is universally assumed to be male by the people of Akaneia. The same applied out-of-universe too until ''Awakening'', where she turns out to be definitively female.
* [[God Is Good]]
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Legend of the Divine Dragon God", in the Akaneia games (and ''[[Shout-Out|Blazing Sword]]''); the melody is shared with her daughter Tiki, with her version using on harps and woodwinds.
* [[Light Is Good]]: andThe [[Light'Emtome Up]]with her essence is Holy, of course.
* [[Missing Mom]]: To Tiki.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: As a Divine Dragon tribe Manakete, she's able to take on the form of a golden-colored dragon with softer features, in contrast to the more reptillian forms of the other dragon tribes.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifter]]: It was pretty much her idea for the dragons to take human form and become Manaketes.
 
=== Tiki ''(Chiki)'' ===
[[File:FireEmblem Tiki 9286.png|frame|Tiki as a "child" in ''Shadow Dragon'']]
 
 
[[File:FireEmblemAwakening Tiki 6568.jpg|frame| Tiki as an adult in ''Awakening'']]
 
 
Naga's daughter, and the sole survivor of the Divine Dragon tribe who is still capable of taking dragon form. As one of her last acts, Naga placed her in an unending sleep to prevent her from degenerating into madness like all the other dragons, but she was eventually unsealed by Bantu. The two travelled the world for a time until she was captured and brainwashed by Gharnef. Upon being freed from the spell by Bantu, Tiki joined the Altean army and took a liking to Marth. After the war, she was put back to sleep by Gotoh, but he allowed her to reawaken for good upon confirming that Marth would be able to restore the Shield of Seals, which would prevent her from degenerating.

{{quote|'''Class:''' Manakete
'''Voiced by:''' [[Ikue Ohtani]] (Japanese, FE13)''Fire Emblem 13'')}}
----
* [[Adult Child]]: As an adult, she still apparently shows shades of this.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: By Gharnef in ''Shadow Dragon''.
* [[Cute Monster Girl]]: In the Archanea games, she was the youngest playable character, at least appearance-wise.
* [[Cute Monster Girl|Cute Dragon Girl]]
* [[Deep Sleep]]: Twice, no less. The first was Naga's doing before he died, placing her in an unending sleep to prevent her from degenerating into madness like all the other dragons; this was interrupted by Bantu. Then, after the War of Shadows, she was put back to sleep by Gotoh, but he allowed her to reawaken for good upon confirming that Marth would be able to restore the Shield of Seals, which would prevent her from degenerating. {{spoiler|It happens again by the time of ''Awakening'' where she, willingly this time, goes to sleep due to sheld of seals being broken}}.
* [[Happily Married]]: Only if paired with MU in ''Awakening.''. Which leads to...
** [[Hot Mom]]: The mother of Mark.
** [[Mayfly-December Romance]]: "I love you... even though we'll be separated one day... no matter for how many thousands of years I sleep... I'll always remember you..."
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: With the aid of a Dragonstone, she can take on her Dragon form, allowing her to beat the crap out of most enemies with ease.
* [[In the Hood]]: As depicted in the Famicom game.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "The Little Divine Dragon", which shares its melody with that of Naga, using much higher-pitched and eerie instrumentation.
** [[Light Is Good]] / [[Light'Em Up]]: Like her mom, her breath is holy.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Give her a couple of levels and watch her wipe out an entire area.
* [[Magikarp Power]]: Well, sort of. She's already good when you get her because the Divinestone, but she has very low HP at that point in the game (HP being the only stat not touched by the Divinestone's bonuses), and even with the Divinestone's bonus to her Speed, she won't be able to double most enemies. Once you level her up a bit, her HP won't be much of a problem, and she can double most of her foes with ease.
** [[Cute Bruiser]]
* {{spoiler|[[Mercy Kill]]: In the DLC chapter with the Dark Warlords, her battle quote heavily implies that the warlord she's facing is in fact, Marth, leading to this trope.}}.
* [[Magikarp Power]]: Well, sort of. She's already good when you get her because the Divinestone, but she has very low HP at that point in the game (HP being the only stat not touched by the Divinestone's bonuses), and even with the Divinestone's bonus to her Speed, she won't be able to double most enemies. Once you level her up a bit, her HP won't be much of a problem and she can double most of her foes with ease.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Child example -: she refers to Marth as "Mar-Mar" and Bantu as "Ban-Ban".
* {{spoiler|[[Mercy Kill]]: In the DLC chapter with the Dark Warlords, her battle quote heavily implies that the warlord she's facing is in fact, Marth, leading to this trope.}}
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Like Naga, she's able to transform into a golden-coloured dragon which is sometimes depicted with feathers. In ''Awakening'', her dragon form is more or less a [[Palette Swap]] of Nowi, slightly glowing brighter than the latter.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Child example - she refers to Marth as "Mar-Mar" and Bantu as "Ban-Ban".
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Bantu was this to her when she was a "child.".
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]
** [[Light Is Good]] / [[Light'Em Up]]
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Bantu was this to her when she was a "child."
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Gotoh feared that she would become this. The restoration of the Shield of Seals averts this possibility for good (assuming the Shield isn't broken again).
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: In ''Awakening'', she casually mentions that she's 3000 years old. This actually helps establish just how long after ''Mystery of the Emblem'' the game is set.
Line 473 ⟶ 468:
* [[Token Mini-Moe]]: In the original Akaneia games.
* [[Too Awesome to Use]]: She's considered one of the best characters in all four Akaneia games... and she comes mid-late into both games and has very limited uses given the small, finite number of Dragonstones available.
** In ''Shadow Dragon'' at least, give her the Starsphere. It allows all of the holder's weapons to be used infinitely -, Dragonstones included. You'll have to give up the sphere if you want Gotoh to forge Starlight, but until then, have a blast letting Tiki rip through everything! Also, she can use Bantu's Firestones if you want to save up the Divinestone.
** There's also the secret shop in ''New Mystery Of the Emblem'' where you are able to recurit Tiki. You can use the Warp staff that is also obtianed in that chapter to teleport someone to the centre of the north eastern lake, an area that cannot be reached otherwise, and they'll find the secret shop holds one of each non-unique dragonstone in the game, meaning that Tiki, as well as the other Manaketes, have more weaponry and use in the process. This, however, cannot be done in [[Harder Than Hard|Lunatic mode]] as the warp staff is not available to use.
** In both ''Shadow Dragon'' and ''New Mystery Of The Emblem'', you can use the even more limited Hammerne on the Divinestone to make sure that it doesn't run out of use.
** Averted properly in ''Awakening'' -: her "true" dragonstone has limited uses, but weaker (though still undeniably potent) dragonstonesDragonstones can simply be purchased.
* {{spoiler|[[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: Her supports with Female MU indicate this, as she has nightmares about Marth leaveing her.}}.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Grade B as an adult, with boots.
 
=== The Dark Warlords ===
The 12 Dark Warlords are a collection of warriors, named Eins, Zwei, Drei, Vier, Fünf, Sechs, Sieben, Acht, Neun, Zehn, Elf, and Zwölf. They once served the Lopto Empire, and later served the empire's remnants, the Lopto Sect. Very little is known about the warlords due to the fact that they are introduced in ''Seisen No Keifu'' and are fought before the final battle with little explianation of where they came from. ''Thracia 776'' sheds more info about the Warlords. {{spoiler|The Warlords are "born" by the Lopto Sect turning other people into them, and both Manfroy and Veld seem to have the ability to do this. This is shown by Leidrick, as well as potentially Galzus, Dadgar, Eyvel, Sara, and Lifis, being turned into Eins, Zwei, Drei, Funf, Elf, and Zwolf respectively.}}.
 
In ''[[Fire Emblem: Awakening]]'' , {{spoiler|the Warlords were reincarnated by Fauder and Inverse of the Gimle Cult, and some of their number were equpped with the holy weapons of the Twelve Crusaders. They were deployed under Inverse's command in order to defeat Krom, but again failed and were slain. You fight the Warlords again in a DLC chapter where it is heavily implied that the Warlords are in fact the parents from the [[Bad Future]] and that one the Warlords is in fact Marth.}}.

* [[Gender Bender]]: Funf, Male in ''[[FEFire Emblem 4]]'', Female in ''[[FEFire Emblem 5]]''. Justifed, as it is possible a different person was used to create Funf each time.
