History Characters / FireEmblemEngage

[[caption-width-right:350:The main cast! [[BunnyEarsLawyer Expect a few quirky people, though.]][[note]]Center: Male and Female [[TheHero Alear]]; Lower left: [[FitnessNut Alfred]]; Lower right: [[LadyOfBlackMagic Ivy]]; Mid left: [[BadassAdorable Timerra]]; Mid right: [[TheAce Diamant]]. Background: [[BigBad Sombron]][[/note]]]]

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: In the Somniel, the default casual outfits of most characters can come across as something that fits well in a modern setting (Such as Amber's jersey and the tuxedos worn by Vander and Louis), which can be jarring when placed next to the more medieval-looking Emblems. This also applies to the swimwear and the DLC spirit garb, which look more like something from a modern setting than in a medieval one.

%%For non-royal units (everyone except Alear, Veyle, Alfred, Celine, Diamant, Alcryst, Ivy, Hortensia, Timerra, and Fogado) who start in a Base class, their designated Advanced class promotion is determined by what they can promote into by default '''without''' obtaining extra weapon proficiencies from the Emblems.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: There is a ''lot'' going on with Alear's army. It has a pair of twins who are fans of the divine dragon, a rather thin-looking prince who loves working out, a village boy training to be a doctor, a very happy-go-lucky thief [[spoiler:who used to be an assassin in her past]], a royal knight FarmGirl, a comedy writer, a wyvern knight who loves all things cute, a free-spirited princess who loves singing and going on "picnics", a priest who's a party animal, a chef of questionable sanity who likes to lick and taste ''everything'' and much, much more. Let's not forget that it's ''all'' led by a dragon child who happens to be the most '''''[[OnlySaneMan normal]]''''' person in the entire army despite their wacky design.

* PlatonicLifePartners: While many S-Supports with Alear are explicitly or implicitly romantic, some characters have more platonic undertones if they S-Support Alear in the English translation. This is especially prominent with underage characters like Anna.

** [[Characters/FireEmblemEngageAlearLuear Alear (Luear)]]

* VagueAge: While the game's files list an age for each playable character (as well as some others like Zephia being 2500 years old), said ages are never mentioned in the game itself and may not be canon. Instead, characters will simply refer to their ages in general terms ("old" or "young") and at most we know the minimum age of various characters (i.e. Alear and Veyle are both over a thousand years old, Sombron is thousands of years old, and so on).

* BunnyEarsLawyer: In comparison to the rest of the franchise's playable characters, Engage's cast is considerably DenserAndWackier in their personalities, though no less capable.

* [[Characters/FireEmblemEngageLandOfLythos Land of Lythos]][[note]]Vander, Clanne, Framme, Lumera, Sommie, Somniel Shopkeepers[[/note]]

!!Land of Lythos
[[folder:In General]]
[[quoteright:321:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/92853288_7034_445b_9662_53e7d361099b.jpeg]]
The Land of Lythos is ruled by Alear's mother, Lumera, the Divine Dragon Queen. Located in the centre of Elyos, it's a sacred realm with sunny grasslands and a refreshing breeze across the calm plateau. Alear slept on the floating island of Somniel above it for 1000 years. Lythos possesses the rings of the Emblems Sigurd, Eirika/Ephraim, Leif, Lucina, and Byleth.
----
* FisherKing: Downplayed but the state of the land of Lythos is influenced by the nature of the dragon that holds power over it. Under Lumera it is bright and vibrant, but when Sombron arrives and begins destroying the divine dragon shard, his presence causes the plant life of the region to begin dying. It takes Alear becoming the new Divine Dragon Monarch and much work after to restore everything,
* SupportPartyMember: It's downplayed, but still notable, as all playable characters from Lythos have Personal Skills meant to buff adjacent allies--more specifically, Alear buffs all allies with extra damage and defense, while Vander, Clanne, and Framme buff Alear and themselves while adjacent to them for extra Critical chance, Avoid, and Accuracy.
* UncertainDoom: In the Alternate Elyos, since the divine dragons were said to have died out, what became of any non-divine dragon inhabiting this world's Lythos, and, by extension, the Somniel, is unclear, but it might be possible that either they were among the many that were [[BusCrash killed offscreen]] or [[FateWorseThanDeath the alternate versions of these characters simply never existed]], given the absence of divine dragons. And even if they didn't fall into either of the two, they're still most likely screwed.

[[folder:Vander]]
!!!'''Birthday:''' 11/26
!!!'''Class:''' Paladin
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YojiUeda (Japanese), Jason Vande Brake (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vanderfe17portrait.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Holy Veteran'']]
A 32nd generation Steward of the Dragon, protectors of the Divine Dragon at the Land of Lythos. He cared for Alear while they were asleep, and has sworn loyalty to them. Very serious and strict; the guardians' mission is at the forefront of his mind.\\\
His personal skill, ''Alabaster Duty'', gives both Vander and Alear +5 Critical chance if he is adjacent to them.
----
* BattleButler: As the Steward of the Dragon, this is quite literally his job, as he serves not only as Alear's bodyguard but also as their aide in the Somniel. In their C-Support conversation, he's shown bringing Alear hot towels and spare changes of clothes after training sessions. He even dresses the part when resting at the Somniel, complete with a suit and monocle.
* CoolOldGuy: He's one of the oldest playable characters, and he laments about his aging body, yet he's still a capable fighter despite it all.
* CrutchCharacter: While Vander does his job as the resident Jagen analogue, his stats are mostly weighted towards bulk, and being a pre-promote available from the first mission means his EXP gain is atrocious. A player not pointedly investing in Vander will find him falling off ''very'' quickly.
* FeelingTheirAge: His A-Support conversation with Pandreo involves trying to learn how to dance despite [[CrackOhMyBack his bad back]], with humourous results. He claims he feels young in spirit, but laments that his body can't keep up with his enthusiasm.
* MyGreatestFailure: Being the retainer of the Divine Dragons, he holds himself responsible for Lumera's death.
* OldRetainer: As Steward of the Dragon, that's his job after Alear wakes up.
* ParentalSubstitute: Downplayed. While Vander has not adopted Clanne and Framme in any official capacity and they are technically his co-workers, the twins' parents don't have any actual presence in their lives. This is lampshaded in his support with Framme, where Vander wonders how a parent must feel proud of watching their child grow up, or in his case, Framme growing more mature and forthright in admitting her mistakes while wanting to do better.
* PlotArmor: Due to his presence in numerous cutscenes (mainly to warn Alear of incoming enemy forces), he won't die if defeated in Classic mode. Notably, this makes him one of the only non-Royal units with PlotArmor aside from [[spoiler:Veyle]].
* PreMortemOneLiner:
-->''"Your final moment."''\\
''"Underestimate me at your peril!"''\\
''"Ever onward!"''\\
''"I shall slay you!"''
* RealMenWearPink: He is a seasoned paladin who likes to knit.
* RecurringElement: Vander is a paladin who joins the player's team at the start of the game, similar to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Jagen]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem Arran]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Sigurd, Oifey]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Marcus]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones Seth]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Titania]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Frederick]], and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Gunter]].
* StoneWall: Joining at the beginning of the game with a whopping 40 HP, Vander's job is very simple: tank and soften up the enemies for your squishier units to finish off.

[[folder:Clanne]]
!!!'''Birthday:''' 3/10
!!!'''Class:''' Mage > Mage Knight
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KouheiAmasaki (Japanese), Creator/JustinBriner (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clannefe17portrait.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Calm Steward'']]
A 33rd generation Steward of the Dragon who protected the Divine Dragon at the Land of Lythos alongside Vander. He is Framme's older twin brother and was by Alear's side when they awoke. A gentle priest who serves and deeply admires Alear.\\\
His personal skill, ''Verdant Faith'', gives both Clanne and Alear +10 Accuracy if he is adjacent to them.
----
* AdvertisedExtra: Clanne was featured prominently in the first prerelease trailer, and is also present on the cover of the "Divine Edition", indicating that his presence in the story is a lot larger than it seems, but ingame, he is only relevant for three chapters before he falls off of the plot.
* {{Bookworm}}: He's a Mage naturally, and his profile in the Ally Notebook adds that he enjoys studying, reading, and philosophy.
* CantCatchUp: Clanne unfortunately falls into this as the story progresses, due to his poor Magic growth. As a result, he will often struggle to catch up while other spellcasters such as Céline, Ivy, Pandreo, and Hortensia tend to perform consistently better.
* CastingGag: Creator/JustinBriner voicing a young boy with DorkKnight tendencies who looks up to a more experienced hero and primarily wears green? [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Wouldn't be his first time]].
* FragileSpeedster: As his starting class as a mage but with a higher natural strength growth (35% compare to his magic growth's 10%), he's intended to be a versatile unit later on in the game as a mage knight, however his relatively low stats on both meant that he may not be able to compete with most characters in terms of damage dealt. The two things he excels at however, are his high dexterity and speed growths (at 40% and 50% respectively) means that he would instead be better utilized as class that utilizes either or both stats as its advantage such as Sniper (dexterity) or Wolf[=/=]Griffin Knight (speed).
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Inverted. His base class Mage attacks with tomes whereas his sister's base class attacks with body arts.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: The crux of his issues in his and Vander's Supports. Although he's officially a steward and serves Alear faithfully, he's frustrated by how his senior Vander, who he respects and admires, treats him as little more than an errand boy. It isn't until their A-Support that Vander states the menial tasks he assigns, while mundane, ''are'' important.
* InstantFanClub: He and Framme act as this to Alear; whether or not their Fan Club has more than two members is uncertain, however.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Being a Steward of the Dragon is a title of some esteem, and he is quite capable in combat, yet all the same he treats Alear with all the adoration one might expect toward a being many in their world worship as a god. As shown in some of his Supports, he and Framme are co-presidents of a fan club for Alear, and his Personal Skill (Verdant Faith) is activated by being near Alear (if he is adjacent to Alear, they both get Hit+10 during combat).
* MagicallyIneptFighter: Despite his starting class as a Mage, Clanne's Magic growth (a whopping ''10%'' growth, plus the additional 25% from his starting Mage class) is actually very poor, with his Strength growth being significantly higher, at 35% without class growths factored in.
* ThePhilosopher: It's one of his likes in the Ally Book.
* PreMortemOneLiner:
-->''"I serve the Divine Dragon!"''\\
''"For the Divine Dragon!"''\\
''"We'll win this battle!"''\\
''"Never underestimate me!"''
* RecurringElement:
** Clanne's role as your first, [[WeakButSkilled Speed-and-Skill-focused]] Mage fits with the Merric archetype of the series, featuring boys such as [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Lugh]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Erk]], and the eponymous [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Merric]].
** Clanne's green-ness, his sister's redness (or pinkness), and their early arrival fit the series' [[ThoseTwoGuys Cain & Abel archetype]].
* RedOniBlueOni: He's the gentle blue oni to his younger sister Framme's more energetic red oni.

[[folder:Framme]]
!!!'''Birthday:''' 3/10
!!!'''Class:''' Martial Monk > Martial Master
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SayakaSenbongi (Japanese), Creator/LisaReimold (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/frammefe17portrait.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Eager Steward'']]
A 33rd generation Steward of the Dragon, protecting the Divine Dragon at the Land of Lythos. She's Clanne's twin sister, and is more determined and lively compared to her brother.\\\
Her personal skill, ''Crimson Cheer'', gives both Framme and Alear +10 Avoid if she is adjacent to them.
----
* AdvertisedExtra: Like her brother, Framme was also featured prominently in both the first prerelease trailer and the cover of the "Divine Edition", but ingame, she too becomes irrelevant after chapter 3.
* BookDumb: Unlike her brother, who dislikes physical activity and prefers to read, Framme's C-Rank page in the Ally Notebook states that she likes exercise, and dislikes studying, difficult books, and lectures.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Inverted. Her base class Martial Monk attacks with body arts whereas her brother's base class attacks with tomes.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Being a Steward of the Dragon is a title of some esteem, and she is quite capable in combat, yet all the same she treats Alear with all the adoration one might expect toward a being many in their world worship as a god. As shown in her Supports with Alear and Clanne, Framme and her brother are co-presidents of a fan club for Alear, and her Personal Skill (Crimson Cheer) is activated by being near Alear (if she is adjacent to Alear, they both get Avoid+10 during combat).
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Framme's prowesses in combat can be seen as inadequate or middling compared to characters that get recruited later, such as Céline, Chloé, Ivy, and Hortensia, all of which can use staves and are able to hold their own in a fight better than Framme. While Framme at least has her own unique abilities such as Crimson Cheer and Diffuse Healer as well as being one of the only three units (the other two being Jean and Pandreo) who have access to the Martial Master class before the player acquire Byleth's Emblem ring for other units to gain Arts proficiency if the player does not have [=DLC=] to get Tiki's Emblem bracelet, she can be seen as tame compared to other, better characters.
* PowerFist: Like the generic enemy Martial Monks, Framme wears a massive gauntlet on each hand, though hers are made of leather. Unlike the generic enemy Martial Monks, Framme can do quite a bit of damage with her fists, especially after promoting into a Martial Master (her only promotion option if she hasn't bonded with any Emblem Rings).
* PreMortemOneLiner:
-->''"Steward attack!"''\\
''"This win is ours!"''\\
''"I'm on a mission!"''\\
''"Tougher than I look!"''
* RecurringElement:
** Mechanically, being the team's first [[WhiteMagicianGirl healer]] and not particularly powerful with magic fits Framme into the Lena archetype, featuring girls like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Elen]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Serra]], and the eponymous [[VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem Lena]]. This also includes guys like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones Moulder]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Wrys]].
** Framme's redness (or pinkness), her brother's green-ness, and their early arrival fit the series' [[ThoseTwoGuys Cain & Abel archetype]].
* RedOniBlueOni: She's the lively red oni to her twin brother Clanne's more gentle blue oni.

[[folder:Lumera ''(Lumiere)'']]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KotonoMitsuishi (Japanese), Julia [=McIlvaine=] (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lumerafe17portrait.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click to see Lumera in ''Fire Emblem Heroes'']]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lumiere_neutral.png[[/labelnote]]]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Dragon Monarch'']]
Alear's mother, the ruler of the Divine Dragons that govern the Land of Lythos. She's a hero who saved the continent by cooperating with humans during the conflict with the Fell Dragon 1000 years ago.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: It's speculated its possible she at some point had someone in her life important enough to give the Pact Ring to, but by the time any of the Emblems knew her she had already lost her family and loved-ones in the war with Sombrom. She never speaks of the matter, so none can say who she gave the Pact Ring to, if she even gave it to anyone.
* BigGood: Being this game's resident Divine Dragon in the same vein as Mila and Naga, and the chief deity worshiped by Elyos, she has all the makings of one. She once fought and sealed Sombron in a war 1000 years ago, and is adored by three of the four nations of Elyos (Elusia being the exception, at some point having switched to worshiping the Fell Dragon instead). Unfortunately, she doesn't live long enough to actually fulfill this role as she dies near the start of the game.
* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:As a Corrupted she no longer is suffering from the effects of the essence transfer she was doing in life, and thus is easily able to NoSell the same attack from Veyle that led to her death before, even mockingly asking if the attack was supposed to hurt.]]
* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:She gets resurrected as a Corrupted Boss in chapter 25, now dangerously extreme in her affection for Alear and zealously devoted to Sombron at the same time. Her memories are also twisted, as she repeats much of her dialog from the training battle at the start of the game should she face Alear, Vander, Clanne or Framme, sometimes with a malicious alteration in her words. With Alear in particular she begins to speak of how the Emblem she has works with her, only to realize she doesn't have an Emblem now and proceeds to start breaking down over the contradictions, her sanity spiraling. She has to be killed again for her mind to be restored]].
* CastFromLifespan: [[spoiler:The true cause of her death is this. Transferring her Divine Dragon powers to Alear meant losing her own, and in turn equated to losing years from her life each time she does so. After doing it for a thousand years she is completely spent, such that after taking an attack from the disguised other Veyle she cannot be healed and dies in Alear's arms.]]
* ChewingTheScenery: [[spoiler:Corrupted Lumera has a grand time making a huge spectacle of how painful and agonizing her death was and swearing to kill Veyle like she killed Lumera before, before psychotically screaming at her to die like the little "defect" she is. Her playful laugh in battle from the start of the game also becomes a more bombastic cackle.]]
-->'''[[spoiler:Corrupted Lumera]]:''' [[spoiler:How I tremble at the memory of that fatal blow--the ''pain!'' Even worse than the pain, though, how you left my heart shattered! I was torn from the side of my beloved child! Can you ''imagine'' the depths of my agony?! And had it not been for ''YOU,'' my dearest and I would have been together for all time! [...] It's ''ludicrous'' to think that you might murder me for a second time. How are you so blind? I still owe you a death for the first one. '''''DIE, YOU LITTLE DEFECT!!!''''']]
* ClimaxBoss: [[spoiler:Corrupted Lumera is the penultimate boss to be killed before finally confronting Sombron.]]
* CoolSword: She initially wields Liberation, but hands it off to Alear after their battle. It becomes a TragicKeepsake after her death. [[spoiler:As a Corrupted, she wields Wille Glanz, which Alear also obtains after beating her in a much more serious battle]].
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her hair and eyes are extremely similar shades of blue.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: She dies in Alear's arms after TakingTheBullet from the hooded girl (though the attack itself only played a minor role in her death). [[spoiler:She dies again after being revived by Sombron to fight the heroes]].
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:After being revived by Sombron as a Corrupted, she replaces Evil Veyle following the latter's DeathOfPersonality, guarding the final Fell Dragon Shard and being by far the most powerful servant the evil deity has, all without even needing to transform.]]
* DubNameChange: Her name in Japanese is Lumiere.
* FightingYourFriend:
** She's the boss of Chapter 2, facing Alear and their retainers in mock combat.
** [[spoiler:She's the boss of Chapter 25, having been turned into a Corrupted and the last line of defense before Sombron himself.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** It's subtle, but her Emblem partner is Sigurd, a character who infamously died halfway through ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' and left his son Seliph to pick up the slack. She dies in Chapter 3, leaving the task of finding and reuniting the 12 Emblem rings to her child Alear. Sigurd himself lampshades this after her death.
** Another subtle note: when you fight her in Chapter 2, she's only Level 5, which seems odd for a dragon that has been alive for over 1000 years. While this could be attributed to her holding back to let Alear get back into the swing of things, it also serves to foreshadow that she spent the millennium that Alear spent asleep transferring her Divine Dragon essence to them to help heal them.
** And that Divine Dragon essence transfer itself is this [[spoiler:because she knew about Alear's Fell Dragon heritage and wants to help [[NobleTopEnforcer Past Alear]] to be more than what they are. And her [[ChekhovsGift ring that was supposed to be given as a birthday gift]]? It became '''the''' ''[[ArtifactTitle Fire Emblem]]''.]]
** During her DyingSpeech she initially mentions how happy she is to be Alear's mother before swapping to ''becoming'' their mother, your first hint [[spoiler:they weren't always mother and child]].
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: She's a Divine Dragon, and her outfit is primarily white with gold highlights.
* HeavenlyBlue: Being the Divine Dragon, she has the blue hair to go along with her divinely status.
* LadyOfWar: Lumera is a very beautiful and refined monarch, and is also no slouch with a sword.
* MoralityChain: If the promotional materials for the upcoming Fell Xenologue story are any indication, Lumera and Alear serve as this for the entirety of Elyos. In the AlternateTimeline, hers and her child's absence (more specifically their death) leaves the four nations locked in a cold war over the seven Emblem Bracelets.
* PosthumousCharacter: In the Alternate Lythos, Lumera performed a HeroicSacrifice to seal away Sombron. Her death echoed the end of the Divine Dragons in Nel and Nil's world, in turn depriving Elyos of its MoralityChain.
* PreFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Corrupted Lumera is the boss of the penultimate chapter in the game and the most powerful enemy that Alear must face next to Sombron himself.]]
* PreMortemOneLiner:
** In Chapter 2:
--->''"I am the Divine Dragon Queen!"''\\
''"The Emblems guide me."''\\
''"Long have I waited."''\\
''"Leave here at once!"''
** For her [[spoiler:Corrupted form]]:
--->''"[[spoiler:Wicked child!]]"''\\
''"[[spoiler:For Lord Sombron!]]"''\\
''"[[spoiler:You dare oppose me?!]]"''\\
''"[[spoiler:I am the Divine Dragon Queen!]]"''
* PromotedToPlayable: She is playable in ''Heroes'', albeit as a Grand Hero Battle unit.
* RecurringElement: Continues the [[SarcasmMode proud tradition]] of a ''Fire Emblem'' protagonist's [[ConvenientlyAnOrphan parent getting killed off]].
* ResurrectedForAJob: {{Implied}}. [[spoiler:In her 5★ level 40 conversation in ''Heroes'', Lumera implies that she was summoned into Askr shortly after she canonically died. This also applies to her in ''Engage'', having become Lord Sombron's most powerful Corrupted and tasked with guarding the final Fell Dragon Shard.]]
* SecretlyDying: In his S-support with Alear, Vander reveals that [[spoiler:Lumera was well aware that she did not have long left to live due to transferring her powers to Alear, something Vander only realizes when she dies. He states this must be why she appointed him to take care of Alear, despite him having wanted to keep serving her for the rest of his life.]]
* TakingTheBullet: At the end of Chapter 3, she intercepts an attack from the hooded girl intended for Alear, and ends up dying in their arms.
* TemptingFate: The poor woman seals her own fate when she starts talking about all the things she and Alear can do together and catch up on now that they are awake. To no one's surprise, she continues the proud tradition of ''Fire Emblem'' parents being killed off. Her death was so predictable, the "Divine Dragon Awakens" trailer outright ''opened'' with her death scene.
* WakeUpCallBoss: As the boss of Chapter 2, she is the first opponent who wields an Emblem ring, giving her much more mobility than it seems at first glance. Treating her carelessly can result in Alear being turned into a Ridersbane shishkebab, and she will teach you to keep enemy Emblem skills in mind as you proceed in your journey.
* WalkingSpoiler: For someone who died [[WeHardlyKnewYe incredibly early]], Queen Lumera is pivotal to the events of ''Engage'' especially near the finale.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: She is introduced in Chapter 2 and dies one chapter later. Mitigated in that she gets a lot more screentime posthumously.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:Corrupted Lumera rants about how much Veyle's evil personality has taken away from her and her child Alear by fatally injuring Lumera. She also truly does not ''want'' to hurt her baby, but Sombron's dark magic is twisting her mind and filling her with loathing, especially toward Veyle.]]

!!!The Somniel

[[folder:Sommie ''(Sora)'']]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sommiefe17portrait.png]]
A mysterious and ancient creature that lives in a grotto in Somniel. Alear can pet, feed, and dress up Sommie to raise its affection.
----
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Aside from wearing a scarf, it can also be dressed up to wear anything from an Alear-styled wig, to BigOlEyebrows, to even a large bow on its rear end.
* AmbiguousGender: There's no indication on Sommie's sex/gender, and in-game text uses "it" for its pronouns.
* AnimalsLackAttributes: Averted, Sommie has a visible anus in a shape of a little X.
* CartoonCreature: Sommie can be best described as a very strange, stubby dog-looking thing with a short three-pointed tail, tiny pointed ears, and wearing a scarf, and aside from being a spirit, no one in Elyos has ever figured out what kind of creature it's supposed to be.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Sommie does not like onions, nuts, and eggs. Therefore, feeding it any of these food will cause it to whimper.
* HelloInsertNameHere: Its name can be set to whatever the players wish, akin to that of most Virtual Pet games. It also makes it the first non-avatar character with this trait.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: While a vast majority of creatures in ''Fire Emblem'' tend to have a grounded and realistic design, Sommie is very cartoonish in design, causing it to stand out a lot.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Definitely the cutest little critter ''Fire Emblem'' has ever added to the series, with its cartoony appearance, stubby legs, and tiny ears. Who could say "no" to that little thing?
* SolidGoldPoop: Every time its affection is raised, it poops out bond fragments, which can be used to create bond rings.
* TimeAbyss: This adorable creature has apparently existed since "time immemorial".
* VirtualPet: You can play a minigame where Sommie can be fed, pet, or even dressed up. Petting or feeding it can not only raise its affection, but it can also grant you 100 bond crystals as a reward for your efforts.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Due to having such a long life, everyone who Sommie has ever known eventually disappears.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Somniel Merchants]]
!!Anisse, Calney, Durthon, and Pinet

Four merchants that run their respective shops in the Somniel.

----
* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Pinet runs the boutique where you can craft outfits and accessories for you and your allies. Each outfit and accessory requires money, though some also require ingots. If DLC has been bought, he can also give you the DLC outfits and accessories without needing to buy them with ingame money/ingots.
* TheBlacksmith: Calney is the owner of the smithy in the Somniel. Alear can talk to her to either forge weapons, engrave weapons with the power of the Emblems, or trade ingots.
* FlatCharacter: None of the merchants have any importance to the plot nor have any defining personalities beyond being merchants working at the Somniel.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Fabrications]]
Soulless beings created with plants and organic matter. They usually appear in Emblem trial paralogues and Tempest Trials, where they can be fought.

----
* ArtificialHuman: All humanoid Fabrications are made out of natural material used by either Lumera or the Emblems, thus they appear to be completely soulless.
* CreepyGood: They are quite scary, since they're all pale, ghost-like, and soulless, and most of their voice clips have them snarl like the Corrupted rather than talk like what a normal human would. Even Alear was disturbed by them at first. Despite this, they're aligned with the Divine Dragons and the Emblems, and therefore have nothing against you. They will only fight Alear and co. for training purposes. However, they are still capable of killing characters permanently on Classic mode during the [[SinkOrSwimMentor Emblems' trials]].
* GenericCuteness: No matter how creepy they may be, the only humanoid fabrications that can be fought in the game all look like a bunch of attractive young men and women. The fact that they can snarl would make you think otherwise.
* GoodCounterpart: To the Fell Dragon-aligned Corrupted. However, Alear was initially scared of them in a similar manner to the corrupted, and they are still fought as [[{{Mook}} mooks]].
* GoodIsNotSoft: Even when being used for the forces of good to train, they can permanently kill other characters in Classic mode when facing them in the Emblems' paralogue trials.
* PromotedToPlayable: The Fabrications became playable as of version 1.3, which added Veronica, and her [[SummonMagic Summon Hero]] ability - if the resulting summon is a 3 or 4-star, it will be a controllable Fabrication.
* UncannyValley: All humanoid Fabrications look and act like normal humans, in the sense that they are capable of fighting, and walk and run like humans do, but their snarls, IcyBlueEyes, mass production, lifeless faces, and pale skin suggests that they almost don't feel human at all. It's also a given that they're artificially made, hence the fact that they look so devoid of any life.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: They make the exact same roaring and screeching noises as the Corrupted.

!Alternate Elyos
[[folder:The Divine Dragon]]
!!!'''Voiced by''':
The Alear of the Alternate Elyos. In this MirrorUniverse, they perished during the climax of the war 1000 years ago. Although dead, they possess enough power to contact their counterpart and request their help in saving the Alternate Elyos.

* AmbiguousSituation: In contrast to the Alear of the main game, Alternate Alear has blue hair, though it's unclear whether they are [[spoiler:an actual Divine Dragon and not of Fell Dragon heritage, eventually becoming a full Divine Dragon after surpassing Lumera as Divine Dragon Monarch following her passing, or simply AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence]]. The pact ring support with Gregory and [[spoiler:Rafal imply, if not confirm, that their Alear somehow was never a Fell Dragon at all. The logistics on how this is possible was never made clear]].
* CrypticConversation: Their meeting with Alear is chock full of this, insisting that they have never met despite Alear feeling as if they have.
* HaveWeMetYet: A non-time travel variant. Alear feels as if they've met their counterpart, but the Divine Dragon insists this is their first meeting. It may be a case of MetaphoricallyTrue since they're the same person from two different timelines.
* TheHeart: Of the Alternate Elyos. When they died, everyone started pointing fingers at each other for having let them die and are now at each other's throats.
* MutualKill: They and Sombron both slew each other when the latter managed to free himself sometime after the last Fell-Divine Dragon war.
* NotTooDeadToSaveTheDay: Despite having been dead a thousand years, Alternate Alear sets the plot of the Fell Xenologue DLC in motion by sending Alear to their world and put a stop to the BigBad's plans.
* OppositeSexClone: Depending on which gender Alear is, the Divine Dragon of the Alternate Elyos will be the opposite gender; a female Alternate Alear will greet a male Alear, and vice versa.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: The death of Alternate Alear isn't necessarily what kicks off the plot of Fell Xenologue, but their passing created a fracture in the Alternate Elyos, putting all four nations in a state of cold war.

[[folder:Nel ''(El)'']]
!!!'''Class:''' Fell Child
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RomiPark (Japanese), Liz Morey (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fireemblemengage_nel.png]]

One of the Fell Dragon twins from the other world.
----
* BigSisterInstinct: She is very protective of her younger twin brother Nil, which manifests in battle via her ''Protective'' skill, where she will get a crit boost if Nil gets attacked during Enemy Phase.
* BladeOnAStick: Nel is proficient in using lances, and has a unique lance called Représailles.
* BlueIsHeroic: Dresses primarily in blue and white, and is the most proactive in trying to save her world. This is even reflected in her dragon form, where her noticeably sinister features are balanced out by her glowing blue scales.
* BreathWeapon: Her dragon form’s attack animation has her firing a laser beam from her mouth.
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Gender-inverted version. She's the brooding girl in this case, being very solemn, aloof and cold. It’s later revealed that she is this way because [[spoiler:she feels immense guilt over feeling responsible for the state of her world]]. Nel is also shown for the majority of the Fell Xenologue to be frustrated with the idea of working alongside Alear. [[spoiler:In truth she is frustrated because they remind her of the Alear she once loved and lost.]] In contrast, Nil is a gentle boy and is much more openly emotional. [[spoiler:This trope becomes played straight with the reveal that the gentle Nil shown throughout the Fell Xenologue was a facade and instead Sombron’s chosen heir Rafal. In truth Rafal was always a vile person, being darker and more brooding than Nel ever was. Likewise, as more is revealed about Nel, it’s shown that she has always been a very gentle person to those she cares about.]]
* ContraltoOfDanger: Nel has a noticeably deep voice in both the English and Japanese dubs. This is fitting as Nel is described as being both strong and brave.
* DarkIsNotEvil: She's a heroic Fell Dragon who wants to put a stop to the cold war in her world by taking the Emblem Bracelets, believing NoManShouldHaveThisPower.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She's initially cold to Alear, which isn't surprising given how Divine and Fell Dragons aren't on the best terms. As time goes on throughout the DLC, however, she gradually begins to open up to them.
* DramaticIrony: Nel and her brother called for a "savior" to aid them, only to summon Alear. Nel can't help but comment how fate is cruel and mysterious since two Fell Dragons summoned someone who, in the distant past, was their mortal enemy. It's almost immediately made clear, however, that what she actually meant was the person they summoned to help them [[spoiler:is a different version of the Divine Dragon, who Nel was close friends with]].
* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:She kills herself at the end of the Xenologue, breaking her altered dragonstone and restoring Nil/Rafal's state of mind. She eventually gets better thanks to Rafal channeling his essence into her over the course of a thousand years.]]
* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Although she already made the choice to make amends as one of Sombron's kin by siding with Alternate Alear, Nel still feels as if the current state of her world is her fault despite her HeelFaceTurn. She similarly feels responsible for Alternate Alear's death.]]
* MercyKill: [[spoiler:She feels that killing the Alternate nobles is the best thing she can do for them, finding their current states as Corrupted pawns to be pitiful.]]
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: As a Fell Dragon, Nel’s dragon form has similar snake-like qualities to Sombron and a glowing third eye. Unlike Sombron, she has frilled lizard qualities as well as luminescent blue scales.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Nel has red eyes like the other Fell Dragons, can assume a form similar to Sombron's in battle, and is not one to be trifled with. Pick a fight with her or try to kill Nil at your own risk.
* TheStoic: Nel isn’t very expressive, especially in comparison to her brother.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: There's some initial tensions between Alear and Nel at first, with the latter keeping mum on certain details or just being outright giving them the cold shoulder despite Alear being her ally. It takes until near the end of the DLC for her to trust Alear properly and the reason for the cold shoulder to be properly explained: [[spoiler:Nel was close friends with Alternate Alear and is still reeling from their loss, but refuses to so much as consider Alear a ReplacementGoldfish for them]].
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The events of the Fell Xenologue DLC [[spoiler:may have happened because of her well-meaning decision to give Nil her dragonstone. Assuming Alear and Zelestia's theory that Sombron tampered with it is correct, Nel's dragonstone (which Nil gave to Rafal as he was dying) may have warped Rafal's psyche and made him into the BigBad of the DLC]].
* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:When Nel brutally slaughters the alternate Ivy and Timerra in cold blood right in front of Alear themselves, they become ''furious'' and chews out Nel for the needless killing of the two queens. However, Nel defends her decision by stating that the royals were actually the [[CameBackWrong Corrupted]] and she is only doing a favor for them by [[MercyKill putting them out of their misery]], causing Alear to reign in their anger]].

[[folder:Nil ''(Il)'']]
!![[spoiler:Rafal]]
!!!'''Class:''' Fell Child
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakuyaEguchi (Japanese), [[Creator/YChang Yungi Chang]] (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fireemblemengage_nil.png]]

One of the Fell Dragon twins from the other world.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: Both Alear and Zelestia sense something off about Nel's dragonstone [[spoiler:and suggest Sombron might have cast a spell on it that influenced Nil's actions during the DLC. However, Nil insists his actions were his own and refuses to give responsibility to Sombron. It is implied that whatever Sombron did to the dragonstone had some effect on his psyche, however]].
* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler:In truth, the real Nil died years ago, the person at Nel's side is really Rafal. His twin had died when he was too young to really remember her and he had grown close to the real Nil. Because the resemblance between the real Nil and Rafal was so uncanny as Nil lay dying he asked Rafal to take his place to spare Nel the pain of his loss. However, Nel knew the entire time her real twin had died but accepted Rafal anyway.]]
* DudeLooksLikeALady: A very androgynous man who could quite easily pass as a woman.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Not on the level of [[TheEeyore Alcryst]], but Nil does consider himself a "failure" compared to his sister.
* NiceGuy: Nil is quite cheerful and sweet, in contrast to the more aloof Nel. [[spoiler:His real personality as Rafal is more abrasive and snarky.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: The passionate red oni to his sister's calm and cool blue oni. [[spoiler:The red oni aspects ramp up when he reveals himself to be Rafal.]]
* TheReveal: Several!
** [[spoiler:[[BigBad He's behind everything]] going on in the DLC.]]
** [[spoiler:He's not actually Nil. The real Nil died shortly after Nel gave him her dragonstone. He ''did'' know Nil though. The two had an uncanny resemblance, so when the real Nil died he asked his brother to take his place and be there for Nel.]]
** [[spoiler:Nel knew the entire time that the real Nil had died.]]
** [[spoiler:His real name is Rafal, as he reveals right after Nel kills herself in the end.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: It is quite difficult to talk about Nil without revealing critical points of the Xenologue's story.

[[folder:Alternate royal siblings]]
!!Alfred and Céline, Diamant and Alcryst, Ivy and Hortensia, and Timerra and Fogado

The royal siblings of the alternate Elyos. The long and brutal cold war of the nations of this Elyos, among other things, has driven them to develop personalities far harsher (or simply different) from the ones of the main story.

For the normal versions of the royals, all of the crown heirs can be found [[Characters/FireEmblemEngageMainCharacters here]], while all of the second heirs can be found in their resepctive pages; Céline can be found [[Characters/FireEmblemEngageKingdomOfFirene here]], Alcryst can be found [[Characters/FireEmblemEngageKingdomOfBrodia here]], Hortensia can be found [[Characters/FireEmblemEngageKingdomOfElusia here]], and Fogado can be found [[Characters/FireEmblemEngageQueendomOfSolm here]].
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Downplayed. In the Japanese dub, Celine is quite vocal in her desire for vengeance against Brodia and pushes Alfred to approve of the invasion, whereas in the English dub, she frames the invasion as a means of expanding their territory so as to acquire more resources for Firene.
* AlternateSelf: They're just the royal siblings, but with their personalities either swapped or turned into a harsh extreme, as seen with the Alternate Celine who is wholly willing to go to war with other countries, if not the entirety of Elyos, if it means Firene can prosper.
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Played with. Alternate Diamant succeeded Morion as King of Brodia, but if the interaction between him and Alternate Alcryst is any indication, it's clear he feels inferior, not unlike how Alcryst feels toward Diamant in the main timeline.
* BigBrotherBully:
** Inverted with Alternate Alcryst. In stark contrast to his main timeline self, Alcryst has more of a backbone and a complete {{Jerkass}} to Alternate Diamant, who is more meek and timid. Alternate Diamant even implies his younger brother hates him so much he's been plotting to assassinate him for quite some time.
--->'''Alternate Alcryst''': Must I do ''everything'' for you, my pathetic excuse of a brother?!
** Alternate Ivy, in addition to running Elusia into the ground, is this to not just Alternate Hortensia, but even the rest of her half-siblings. If Ivy and/or Hortensia fights Alternate Hortensia, she'll ask Ivy if she's come to kill her like the rest of Hyacinth's illegitimate children and tells her main timeline counterpart that Alternate Ivy thinks of her as little more than a miserable wretch.
* TheCaligula: The Alternate Ivy. Not only is she continuing the main timeline Elusia's worship of the Fell Dragon in the Alternate Elyos, she even tried to [[spoiler:revive Sombron, offering her own father Hyacinth as a sacrifice when he attempted to interfere]] and has no qualms in killing the main timeline versions of Kagetsu and Zelkov when they oppose her, telling Zelkov she has no problems killing him when he's already died for her sake once. Ivy is abhorred by this and angrily asks if there's even anyone in Elusia left to praise her when she's all but ruined Elusia with her hedonism.
* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:The harsher personalities of the alternate royals aren't just from the current state of the Alternate Elyos. In Xenologue 4, Nel tells Alear they are all Corrupted, who barring a few exceptions (like Alear in the endgame) come back with some complications.]]
* CassandraTruth: Since the Alear of the Alternate Elyos died a thousand years ago, none of them believe the protagonist is the Divine Dragon and mistake them as a Corrupted.
* CompositeCharacter: The Alternate Fogado has shades of this, attempting to [[spoiler:fill Veyle's shoes as the HeroKiller in Lythos Castle when he attacks Nel and Nil to take the Emblem Bracelets. Unlike Veyle in the main timeline, who succeeded in killing Lumera, he fails because of Alear's interference]].
* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:Nel reveals in Xenologue 4 that the royals the party has fought so far were all Corrupted, and that her killing of them was a MercyKill.]]
* DissonantSerenity: Alternate Fogado wears a smile on his face, even as he tries to kill his main timeline counterpart with the explicit purpose of taking his place and [[spoiler:gleefully admitting he's the one who attacked Lythos Castle]].
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Alternate Ivy is baffled why Nel [[spoiler:wouldn't want her to revive Sombron]].
* DownloadableContent: They only appear and are fought in the Fell Xenologue, which requires the Expansion Pass.
* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:When they are killed for good in Xenologue 6, they regain their humanity and die peacefully.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Alternate Ivy tries to pass herself off as being well-mannered and joyous when speaking to her enemies...except she also gleefully says how she [[spoiler:killed Hyacinth when he tried to stop her from reviving Sombron]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: After defeating the Alternate Alfred and Celine, Alear notes how the former seems to be acting strange in her presence. While his breakdown could easily be mistaken for grief, since Alear reminds him so much of their counterpart, [[spoiler:it's later revealed to be a sign of his degredation as a Corrupted]].
* FreudianExcuse: Some of the royals have good justifications for their darker personalities. Alternate Celine wants war with Brodia after having lost not only her mother, but even Chloe and Louis. Alternate Hortensia is motivated to [[spoiler:revive her father, who was killed by Alternate Ivy when he tried to interfere with her attempt to revive Sombron]].
* GrewASpine: The Alternate Alcryst is very much ''not'' TheEeyore his main counterpart is. Unfortunately, said spine also comes with a [[TookALevelInJerkass level in douchery]] as evident by how he treats his older brother.
* InterfaceSpoiler: Checking the stats of the royals show that they (along with the generic human enemies) are considered ''Corrupted'', which would raise many a player's eyebrows. [[spoiler:It turns out that they are indeed reanimated corpses]].
* {{Irony}}: The likes of characters from the main timeline get flipped into dislikes for their counterparts. Alternate Timerra, for example, ''hates'' singing and eating meat.
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: This trope gets played with, averted, or played straight depending which royal interacts with their alternate counterpart. The counterparts themselves do play this straight, believing their main timeline selves to be illusions.
** Alfred's main gripe with his counterpart is that he lacks muscles and wonders if he's just not cut out to have the physique he's dreamed of in any world he's in.
** Celine is ''really'' not happy with her counterpart's insistence on going to war with Brodia, stating war will ''never'' bring them peace. Alternate Celine is of the opposite opinion since she wants Firene to prosper; the other nations can go to hell as far as she's concerned.
** Despite either being ignorant or not realizing the relationship between the brothers of Alternate Elyos, Alcryst actually ''admires'' how strong-willed Alternate Alcryst is.
** Initially, Alternate Ivy's personality and way of speaking disgusts Ivy. Then she hears from her own counterpart's mouth how [[spoiler:she killed King Hyacinth and offered him up as a sacrifice]]. Between this and how Alternate Ivy has more or less single-handedly ruined Elusia, Ivy is rightfully pissed.
** Alternate Hortensia doesn't like the prospect of fighting her main timeline counterpart, but she's willing to fight her to revive her father while rebuffing Hortensia's comments how they're cute, insisting they're just as Alternate Ivy says they are: "miserable wretches".
** Timerra quickly notices how "stuffy" Alternate Timerra is and wonders if she's a "normal ruler", then decides her counterpart needs to blow off some steam with a good old fashioned fight. Alternate Timerra thinks her main timeline counterpart just needs to die.
** Fogado is immediately creeped out by how similar he and his alternate counterpart are. Meanwhile, Alternate Fogado is eager to KillAndReplace him in his world.
* PosthumousCharacter: The rulers of the respective nations died during the second war against Sombron, leaving the crown heirs to pick up the slack in their place. The only ruler of the four nations of Elyos that survived was Hyacinth, [[spoiler:though he would later be killed by Alternate Ivy when she attempted to resurrect Sombrom and offered him as a sacrifice when he interfered. As you later learn in Xenologue 4, however, they've been DeadAllAlong. ''All'' of the alternate royals are in fact Corrupted and died alongside their parents during the war]].
* TokenGoodTeammate: Alternate Diamant and Alternate Hortensia are surprisingly this compared to the other royals. The former is meek, but he just wants to have a nice brotherly bond with Alternate Alcryst and gives Alear's party a chance to surrender. Alternate Hortensia, meanwhile, clearly doesn't want to fight her main timeline counterpart, but she's willing to do whatever it takes to revive her father with the Bracelets' power.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Played with. Without the Divine Dragons to act as a MoralityChain and the cold war the alternate Elyos is caught up in, the alternate royals have all undergone this. The loss of Alternate Celine's mother and retainers has made her brash and vengeful, demanding that Alternate Alfred declare all-out war against Brodia and coldly dismiss the suffering of others if it is for the sake of her own people, Alternate Alcryst treats his older brother like garbage and finds him a pathetic excuse for a king (it's also implied by Alternate Diamant that Alternate Alcryst may even be plotting to assassinate him), and Alternate Ivy is TheCaligula who genuinely worships the Fell Dragon Sombron who calls Alternate Hortensia a "miserable wretch". [[spoiler:Another contributing factor is that they're [[DeadAllAlong Corrupted]], who have already been stated to have complications from being BackFromTheDead.]]

!!The Four Winds
[[folder:In General]]

An organization of four knights formed to protect Lady Nel and the counterpart to the main timeline's Four Hounds.
----
* AlternateSelf: All four of them are alternate versions of the Four Hounds from the main timeline.
* CuttingOffTheBranches: Based on their dialogue in their supports with [[spoiler:Mauvier and Veyle]], they chronologically join Alear's army [[spoiler:after Zephia and Griss' LastStand in Chapter 23]].
* DownloadableContent: They are introduced in the Fell Xenologue, which requires the Expansion Pass.
* GenderEqualEnsemble: Consists of two women and two men.
* GoodCounterpart: They are heroic versions of the Four Hounds.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In Xenologue 5, they all decide to destroy the temple to take down all the Corrupted inside, and killing themselves in the process. Luckily, Zelestia, Gregory, and Madeline survive thanks to Mauvier warping them out in time, only letting himself die.]]
* MagicKnight: Half of the Winds (sans Gregory and Madeline, who is purely a spellcaster and physical fighter, respectively) can fight with physical weapons and use magic via tomes or staves.
* PaletteSwap: Save for Mauvier, all of them are recolored versions of the Four Hounds from the main game. Notably, Gregory also lacks the tattoos and piercings of Griss, his main game counterpart.
* PromotedToPlayable: Played with. The Four Winds look like the antagonistic Four Hounds from the base game and are playable allies of Alear in the Fell Xenologue and can be unlocked as playable characters in the main game after completing the DLC campaign. However, they are ultimately different people from the Hounds [[AlternateSelf despite their extremely similar design and personalities]] (with the exception of Mauvier, who looks and acts the same as his original counterpart).
* SurvivorGuilt: [[spoiler:Their supports with Mauvier show that they all have this regarding their own Mauvier's sacrifice. While Madeline remains mostly in control even as she reveals her sorrow, Zelestia and Gregory nearly break down crying as they apologize for being unable to save him.]]

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RikaFukami (Japanese), Creator/ElizabethMaxwell (English)

The leader of the Four Winds.\\\
Information about Zelestia's original counterpart, Zephia, can be found on the [[Characters/FireEmblemEngageAntagonists Antagonists]] page.
----
* DarkIsNotEvil: In contrast to Zephia, her outfit consists of dark and gray colors, and is one of Alear's allies.
* FloralThemeNaming: Similar to the inhabitants of Elusia, Zelestia is named after a flower called a celestia, though [[XtremeKoolLetterz spelled with a Z at the beginning]].
* TheLeader: The head honcho of the Four Winds, though like them she's subservient to the twin Fell Dragons Nel and Nil.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Upon meeting Alear, Zelestia asks if she has an AlternateSelf in their world before proudly saying she has no doubt her counterpart is also fighting Sombron. Alear doesn't have the heart to tell her that her counterpart Zephia is actually one of their greatest enemies and proudly serves Sombron.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: When she asks about Zephia, Alear chooses to say nothing to Zelestia about her.
* MsFanservice: By virtue of being a PaletteSwap of Zephia, Zelestia is quite the looker.
* NiceGirl: Zelestia, unlike Zephia, is a kind and compassionate person, always looking out for the safety and wellbeing of her friends and allies.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: She's been around for a thousand years, and participated in both wars against Sombron.
* RecognitionFailure: Subverted. Unlike Zephia who did not know who Alear was, Zelestia recognizes them as the Divine Dragon and is quite shocked to discover them alive and well given that the Divine Dragons of the Alternate Elyos died out. Justified InUniverse as the Fell Xenologue DLC story occurs after the second war with Sombron, which was more recent and Zelestia was Alternate Alear's ally.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Like Zephia, her outfit exposes a lot of skin.
* TeamMom: She treats the Winds like family, being quite kind and motherly. Unlike Zephia, Zelestia is ''genuinely'' affectionate and caring towards them.

Information about Gregory's original counterpart, Griss, can be found on the [[Characters/FireEmblemEngageAntagonists Antagonists]] page.
----
* CombatSadomasochist: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Unlike Griss, who enjoys pain, Gregory ''dislikes'' pain.
* CowardlyLion: He's quite the coward and often thinks of running away first, but won't hesitate to fight if he has to.
* FaceOfAThug: Downplayed. Like his main counterpart Griss, Gregory has a traditionally thuggish face. However, he lacks Griss' face piercings and tattoos.
* LightIsGood: Parts of his outfit are colored white instead of the gray seen on his original counterpart, Griss, and is on Alear's side.
* RockThemeNaming: Similar to the inhabitants of Brodia, Gregory is named after a mineral called a gregoryite.

The youngest member of the Four Winds.\\\
Information about Madeline's original counterpart, Marni, can be found on the [[Characters/FireEmblemEngageAntagonists Antagonists]] page.
----
* BlueIsHeroic: Unlike Marni, Madeline dons blue armor instead of pink, and is on Alear's side.
* BrattyHalfPint: Averted. Unlike the bratty Marni, Madeline is far more composed, polite, and mature.
* EdibleThemeNaming: Similar to the inhabitants of Solm, Madeline is named after a french dessert called a madeleine cookie.
* HumbleHero: Madeline is quite modest and humble when it comes to accepting praise, in another sharp contrast to [[AttentionWhore Marni.]]
* LadyOfWar: Madeline may be far more polite than her counterpart, but make no mistake, she can hit just as hard.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Defied. [[spoiler:While Mauvier shows signs of seeing her as this to Marni in their B support, he quickly realizes how selfish he is being and apologizes, promising to see Madeline as her own person. Madeline, for her part, bears him no ill will for it, as she admits that she herself has the same struggles regarding him and her own Mauvier.]]

Information about Mauvier's original counterpart can be found on the [[Characters/FireEmblemEngageAntagonists Antagonists]] page.
----
* FourIsDeath: He's the last of the Four Winds to be introduced to Alear, [[spoiler:and the only member of their party to die]].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He warps Zelestia, Gregory, and Madeline out of the crumbling temple in Xenologue 5, so that only he will die in the impending ruin.]]
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Whereas the Mauvier of the main game is the SoleSurvivor of the Four Hounds, this one is the only member of the Four Winds to die.]]
* NeverTrustATrailer: Despite his gameplay being [[https://youtube/_ulIzlZKS1M?t=52 showcased in a trailer]] previewing the Four Winds as playable characters, he is never actually playable in the Fell Xenologue proper, given that [[spoiler:he dies two chapters after he’s introduced]]. The trailer likely used the Mauvier that was already in the base game to demonstrate Alternate Mauvier’s gameplay.
* OddNameOut: Of the Four Winds, he's the only one who doesn't have a different name from his main universe counterpart.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Despite being mirror versions of the same character, this version of Mauvier shares the same name as his main universe counterpart.
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:In his final moments, he mentions being able to reunite with Veyle in the afterlife]].

* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Gender-inverted version. She's the brooding girl in this case, being very solemn, aloof and cold.
