{{tropelist}}
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: In their B support, Chrom walks in on a female MU naked, and she returns the favor in their A support.
* [[Adorkable]] / [[Moe]]: Enforced with the "Confessions" scenes the [[Audience Surrogate|MU]] gets with his/her spouse.
* [[Ambidextrous Sprite]]: Averted with Chrom, who has [http://www.serenesforest.net/fe13/img/15022012C.jpg two different portraits]{{Dead link}} for when he faces left or right.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Present, but nowhere ''near'' the level of what was previously feared by some. [https://web.archive.org/web/20131107055839/http://serenesforest.net/fe13/character.html Out of all the characters revealed so far], only Liz's hairstyle is truly implausible; and, even then, it's not that bad to begin with.
Line 22:
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Most mixed physical/magic units have lower caps for their offensive stats than most pure classes and few characters have the growth rates to use both well.
* [[Badass Family]]: Due to the second generation, you can have one.
* {{spoiler|[[Bad Future]]}}: {{spoiler|Lucina hails from one, where [[Player Character|MU]] [[Grand Theft Me|was killed and possessed by Gimle]], killed Chrom, and [[Omnicidal Maniac|Gimle]] as well as [[Zombie Apocalypse|the corpse soldiers]] [[Earthshattering Kaboom|killed everything]].}}
* [[Black and White Morality]]: Seemingly, the issue between Iris and Perezia. Iris worships the benevolent [[Light Is Good|Divine Dragon]] [[God Is Good|Naga]], ruled by the kind and just [[Reasonable Authority Figure|Emelina]], and minus the Vigilance Force, is mainly peaceful. Perezia, on the other hand, worships the monstrous [[Dark Is Evil|Dark Dragon]] [[God of Evil|Gimle]], ruled by the cruel [[The Caligula|Gangrel]], and at least a portion of it's people are Barbarians who like to [[Rape, Pillage and Burn]]. Even the [[Token Heroic Orc]]s, [[Black Magician Girl|Sariya]] and [[Sociopathic Hero|Henry]], don't even seem to be that heroic.
* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: A few DLC chapters seem to smell strongly of this, such as one in which enemies drop enormous amounts of gold, one consisting entirely of Entombed (pathetically weak undead enemies that give [[Level Grinding|huge amounts of exp]]) and, perhaps most egrigiously "[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Infinite]] [[Infinity+1 Sword|Divine Weapons]]". Of course, it's not quite as bad as some other games, as here you actually have to play the chapters to reap the rewards, which could be pretty painful on higher difficulties. And it seems some of them contain nasty traps for those who blindly rush them for farming purposes, such as {{spoiler|Level 30 Entombed with Counter}}...
* [[Bucket Helmet]]: Villager class is badly equipped, and wears these.
* {{spoiler|[[Came Back Wrong]]: [[Damaged Soul|Of the Damaged Soul Variety in the case of]] Emelina who is resurrected in a late/post game spotpass-sidequest... tragically she has amnesia so bad she can't even talk right. [[Bittersweet Ending|Her condition is stated to never improve, but ends up living a simple happy life.]]}}
* [[The Cameo]]: Characters from past ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' games will show up in some downloadable chapters. So far, [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Claire from Gaiden]], [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Ira from Genealogy of the Holy War]], and [[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones|Innes from The Sacred Stones]] have been announced.
** [[Marth Debuted in Smash Bros]]: Likely going to be the case, seeing as half the games weren't released outside of Japan
Line 44:
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: DLC Eirika's Class, "Bride"... guess what that looks like?
* [[Giant Flyer]]: The dark dragon Gimle. {{spoiler|It's so huge that the final chapter takes place ''on its back''.}}
* {{spoiler|[[I Have Your Wife|I Have Your Older Sister]]: Eventually, Gangrel captures Emelina and forces Chrom to give him the Shield of Seals for her safety. But, [[Heroic Sacrifice|she kills herself via falling off a cliff]] to prevent this}}.
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: Whereas the entire franchise so far has generally maintained a (relatively) realistic and practical bent in its character design, this game so far leans much more in the direction of this trope. The best examples by far are the knight characters.
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: 120 Characters from all past Fire Emblems return here, through a dimensional portal that exists in the land. The player can face them, hire them to join his army or buy items from them. And this is mostly unrelated to the game's main story. However, aside from their portraits, they just use generic classes and models colored like their original designs. Only a few characters, who are paid DLC content, actually get their own models and personal classes. The story of the paid DLC does involve many past characters though, including the ones that use generic models.
* [[Hot Dad]] / [[Hot Mom]]: Parents apparently don't age a day {{spoiler|Time traveling kids being the reason, of course}} meaning potentially all couples will continue to be gorgeous even after having children.
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: Compare Divine Dragon child Tiki's appearance in [http://serenesforest.net/fe13/img/0404/tiki.jpg Awakening]{{Dead link}} with her appearance in [https://web.archive.org/web/20100702224245/http://www.serenesforest.net/media/fe11illust/l/L_Chiki.jpg Shadow Dragon] and see that the proof is in the pudding.
** Most of the DLC versions of the female lords.
* {{spoiler|[[I Have Your Wife|I Have Your Older Sister]]: Eventually, Gangrel captures Emelina and forces Chrom to give him the Shield of Seals for her safety. But, [[Heroic Sacrifice|she kills herself via falling off a cliff]] to prevent this}}.

* [[Kissing Cousins]]: Being cousins does ''not'' prevent children from reaching an S Support with eachother. The English version avoids mention of them being married but otherwise changes nothing.
* [[Lady of War]]: {{spoiler|Lucina}}
Line 65:
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: The Corpse Soldiers, in both their portraits and battle animations.
* [[Relationship Values]]: The relationship system and children from [[Fire Emblem Jugdral]] [http://andriasang.com/con0hp/fire_emblem_love/ returns]. Most controversially is the avatar [[Dating Sim|getting in on the action]], which many fans would claim got too much of a focus and was aimed at the wrong kind of player.
* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|"Marth" is actually Lucina, Chrom's daughter from the future.}}.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Nono's daughter is named ンン, roughly pronounched un-un or nn-nn. How are you supposed to spell that? The translation goes with "Nah".
* [[Spoiler Opening]]
* [[Stock Subtitle]]: "Awakening"
* [[Sturgeon's Law]]: Mild example. The Avatar has the most Support conversation options out of any character. Especially if not romancing the character in question, many of them are a bit more bland and less personal than between other characters due to the Avatar's fairly down-to-earth personality and lack of personal connection to many of the characters. That said, they're still worth reading for sure.
* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|"Marth" is actually Lucina, Chrom's daughter from the future.}}.
* [[This Loser Is You]]: Completely inverted. Not only does MU have a special class and is the first true [[Magic Knight]] since Judgral, but he/she can also get paired with [[The Hero|Chrom]] and Sumia, and even have kids. Way to go, stud!
* [[Time Skip]]: ''Awakening'' is a direct sequel to the [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Archanea series]], though technology is unchanged.
* {{spoiler|[[Timey-Wimey Ball]]: Your characters' children come from the future in order to prevent the end of the world. Expect a a lot of this.}}
* [[Variable Mix]]: The battle music on most maps is a variation of the map's theme, shifting into the arrangement as the scene changes.
* [[Yandere]]: {{spoiler|Sariya, as one could tell from her various support conversations, especially the ones she has with [[Audience Surrogate|My Unit]]... hopefully you don't have a nice boat...}}
