-->�So this is the end... I wish I had not failed you, my friends. May we meet again, sweet Mathilda...�

** In the ''Gaiden'' manga of 1993, [[spoiler: Kliff [[SacrificialLamb is murdered by Desaix]] as he and Clair are rescuing Mathilda. He tries a TakingYouWithMe but fails (though Desaix soon gets killed anyway), and ultimately perishes in Alm's arms.]]
** In the Ozaki novels, [[spoiler: he dies shortly after finding out that Silque is his long-lost sister.]]

-->“So this is the end... I wish I had not failed you, my friends. May we meet again, sweet Mathilda...”

-->'''Alm:''' Clive, I’m... I’m so sorry about Mathilda. I couldn’t save her. I didn’t have what it takes.\\

* LightningBruiser: She has good offensive stats and growths to go with it. Most casual players often remark as one of the single best units in the game because of this. Her only competition for Cavaliers are Conrad due to his higher base Resistance, Zeke on account of being a tier 3 unit, Mycen because of his Gold Knight class and high bases in Attack and physical bulk, and ironically, her fiancé, Clive, because of his higher starting physical bulk and earlier join time, with him possibly being close to his Gold Knight promotion by the time you get her.

--> “Come on, who needs gods when you're as strong as me?”

* AffectionateNickname: His name is Ezekiel, according to Tatiana, and Zeke is a diminutive. In reality, it's [[spoiler: Camus]], but neither of them know that.
* AmnesiacLover: Loves Tatiana despite having no memory. In reality, he is [[spoiler: Camus, who used to love Princess Nyna and does still care for her, but, even after regaining his memory,]] he still chooses Tatiana.
* ButNowIMustGo: In ''Echoes'', if [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Tatiana]] dies in battle, Zeke's ending states that he's [[DespairEventHorizon shaken in grief]] and abruptly disappears after the war. He's last seen in [[spoiler: Archanea]], but it's not clear. Even if she lives, he still leaves, and [[spoiler: shows up in Archanea as Sirius for the events of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem'']] ([[SubvertedTrope although]] he ''is'' said to return to her eventually).
* ChickMagnet: Implied in a talk that Alm can start with a girl who's a friend of Tatiana.

* EasyAmnesia: He is actually [[spoiler: Camus, having gotten amnesia after his defeat in the War of Shadows. He gets it back within the next year, borrows Conrad's mask, and returns to Archanea as Sirius for the War of Heroes.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: There are subtle nods throughout the game that would culminate in his appearance as [[spoiler: Sirius in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem Mystery]]'']]:

** A base talk has Zeke bringing up his amnesia, but now wonders if he's from [[spoiler: Archanea. He then adds that he probably has bad memories from there save for ''maybe'' one (probably Nyna),]] but cuts himself off and mentions Tatiana.

** If he dies in action, his last words are dedicated to Tatiana ''and'' to someone all but spelled to be [[spoiler: Nyna]].
** In the Memory Prism depicting how he met Tatiana, he ''actually'' says [[spoiler: Nyna's name]] at the beginning, right before passing out.

* PaletteSwap: His portrait in ''Gaiden'' is a slightly altered version of [[spoiler: Camus's portrait from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light]]''. [[JustifiedTrope This makes sense]] because he actually IS Camus]].

* AffectionateNickname: His name is Ezekiel, according to Tatiana, and Zeke is a diminutive. In reality it's Camus, but neither she nor he knows that.
* AmnesiacLover: Loves Tatiana despite having no memory. In reality, he is Camus, who used to love Princess Nyna and does still care for her, but, even after regaining his memory, he still chooses Tatiana.
* ButNowIMustGo: In ''Echoes'', if [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Tatiana]] dies in battle, Zeke's ending states that he's [[DespairEventHorizon shaken in grief]] and abruptly disappears after the war. He's last seen in Archanea, but it's not clear. Even if she lives, he still leaves, and shows up in Archanea as Sirius for the events of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem'' ([[SubvertedTrope although]] he ''is'' said to return to her eventually).

* EasyAmnesia: He is actually Camus, having gotten amnesia after his defeat in the War of Shadows. He gets it back within the next year, borrows Conrad's mask, and returns to Archanea as Sirius for the War of Heroes.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: There are subtle nods throughout the game that would culminate in his appearance as Sirius in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem Mystery]]'':

** A base talk has Zeke bringing up his amnesia, but now wonders if he's from Archanea. He then adds that he probably has bad memories from there save for ''maybe'' one (probably Nyna), but cuts himself off and mentions Tatiana.

** If he dies in action, his last words are dedicated to Tatiana ''and'' to someone all but spelled to be Nyna.

* PaletteSwap: His portrait in ''Gaiden'' is a slightly altered version of Camus's portrait from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light]]''. [[JustifiedTrope This makes sense]] because he actually IS Camus.

* LightningBruiser: She has high stats all around and good growths to go with it. She is easily one of the single best units in the game, with her only competition for Cavaliers being Conrad due to his higher base Resistance, and Zeke on account of being a Tier 3 unit.

* JackOfAllStats: Amongst the villagers, her growths are all balanced, with none going below 30%, but no single growth being too outstanding, either. These growths, as well as her balanced base stats, allows her to flexibly use any of the four female Villager's reclass (Cleric, Cavalier, Mage and Pegasus Knight) options competently.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Silque is only 19 years old, but her stature and grace make her seem older than she really is.

* ActionGirl: By virtue of being a Pegasus Knight. She gets captured early on, but it doesn't last long and she's shown to be an excellent fighter once rescued. She also stays in the army in her ending, regardless of whether she marries or not.

* AntiquatedLinguistics: In ''Echoes'' her manner of speech is very foppish and refined, which Alm is quick to point out.

* DistressBall: She was captured by Desaix's men at the South Fort, but was saved by Alm.
* DependingOnTheArtist: Her hair is red in the manual's artwork, but blue in the game, and in ''The Complete'' artbook. Due to using the manual artwork, she has red hair in her ''Awakening'' cameo. Her ''Echoes'' appearance gives her blonde hair, presumably to make her look more like her brother Clive.

** In the ''Gaiden'' manga of 1993, Kliff [[SacrificialLamb is murdered by Desaix]] as he and Clair are rescuing Mathilda. He tries a TakingYouWithMe but fails (though Desaix soon gets killed anyway), and ultimately perishes in Alm's arms.
** In the Ozaki novels, he dies shortly after finding out that Silque is his long-lost sister.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: As said in InformedAttractiveness, Clive is good-looking but not a huge knock-out. His ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' redesign, however, [[https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/5/52/Clive_Heroes.png/revision/latest?cb=20170713094902 goes straight-up into "gorgeous Pretty Boy" material]].

* InformedAttractiveness: Many characters InUniverse comment on how handsome Clive is, and while he's certainly not ''bad'' looking, he's no more attractive than the other men in the game.

* BoobsOfSteel: She's a legendary knight, and has one of the more notable busts out of the female cast.

* BladeOnAStick: Lukas is the very first Soldier class unit to show up in the entire series, even including generics. Like all Soldiers, Lukas uses a Lance.

* BladeOnAStick: Forsyth is a soldier who specializes in Lances alone.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: According to Rigelian villagers who live around the Fear Mountain, he does as much as he can to help the populace and keep [[GeneralRipper Jerome]] at bay. [[HundredPercentAdorationRating Unsurprisingly, he's loved by the people there]].

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She's hopelessly in love with Alm and when he chooses Celica over her, it's implied that [[UnrequitedTragicMaiden she never fully gets over it]].

* BadassBaritone: He has a rather deep speaking voice.

* RoyaltySuperpower: According to the [[AllThereInTheManual official artwork booklet]], the Ragnarok spell was a gift from Mila to the royal blood of Zofia. This means that, unless stated otherwise, Delthea has royal blood within her.

* WhatTheHellHero: He is on the receiving from Alm for keeping his heritage a secret his entire life, especially after Alm had just learned about it after mortally wounded his own father.

* AscendedExtra: She goes from a one-note ally in ''Gaiden'' to TheChick in ''Echoes''.

* CoolBigSis: Her sisters are not seen, but Mathilda has 4 younger sisters that adore her.
** In the [=DLCs=], she takes up the role towards her future sister-in-law, Clair, too.

* FauxActionGirl: Subverted. The way Clive talks about her, she is a very renowned and capable ActionGirl... then it is noted that she is a DamselInDistress, being locked up by Desaix. (It doesn't help that a piece of official art shows her in a rather... [[https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/6/6a/Mathilda_and_Forsynth.png submissive position]].) However, [[BadassInDistress as noted above]], she is one of the better fighters once she is rescued.

* {{Mage Killer}}: She has 10 Resistance upon recruitment, at a time when the rest of Team Alm has a score in the single digits and either low (''Echoes'') or zero (''Gaiden'') growths. This means she'll be the default character for luring out and fighting enemy spellcasters.

* LongLostRelative: In the novelization by Katsuyuki Ozaki, Kliff and Silque are actually half-siblings from the same mother (who was also Alm's nanny), separated before Kliff was born. Kliff figures this out before Silque does, and reveals this to her with his dying breath after he took an Arcanist's attack for her.

* {{Affirmative Action Girl}}: According to the developers, she was added mainly because Alm's initial party consisted only of men in the original.

* WeaponOfChoice: In an update for ''Heroes'', he gained access to the new Daybreak Lance.

* WeaponOfChoice: In ''Heroes'', he is the only one to use the Sagittae spell.

* WeaponOfChoice: In an update for ''Heroes'', she gained access to the new Bow of Devotion.

* WeaponOfChoice: In ''Heroes'', she is the only one to use this game's version of the Aura spell, though it goes by the name "Dark Aura" to differentiate it from [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Linde]]'s version. Her Darkness Within version wields the Death spell, which, while never originally used by Delthea herself (barring the Overclass DLC), is Tatarrah's attack of choice.

* WeaponOfChoice: In ''Heroes'', Rhomphaia is tied directly to her.

* SquishyWizard: She's just as fragile in phsyical combat as one might expect a 13-year-old girl to be.
* TechnicianVsPerformer: Delthea is the performer who is naturally gifted with magic, but doesn't really care to refine herself. Her older brother, Luthier, is the hardworking technician who is not particularly exceptional, but works very hard to get as good with magic as he is.
* TeleportSpam: Can do this as an enemy in both the original ''Gaiden'' game (through the Witch class) and its remake (through the Teleportation skill). In the remake she can learn the Rewarp spell as a playable character, which acts like the ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]]'' version of the Warp skill where she can teleport adjacent to other allied unit.
* TokenMiniMoe: The youngest member in Alm's party at the tender age of 13 years old.
* UnskilledButStrong: Luthier notes that her magical abilities are stronger than his, but she can't utilize them properly since she never practices. [[SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration Game mechanics-wise]], this is represented by her having an astronomical Magic growth but a very low Skill growth, the opposite of her brother. Luckily for her, Skill isn't nearly as important to mages as it is other classes due to the fixed accuracy ratings in this game.

* WeaponOfChoice: In ''Heroes'', she is the only one to use this game's version of the Aura spell, though it goes by the name "Dark Aura" differentiate it from [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Linde]]'s version. Her Darkness Within version wields the Death spell, which, while never originally used by Delthea herself (barring the Overclass DLC), is Tatarrah's attack of choice.

* BadassAdorable: Is a very cute GirlNextDoor who can be raised in-game to become this. [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Faye_Echoes_Cipher_art_1.png Her Cipher card]] has her looking positively ''adorable'' as a Pegasus Knight [[ShesGotLegs and showing quite a bit of leg]].

* AmbiguousDisorder: Despite his [[NiceGuy unfailingly amicable personality]], Lukas has characteristics consistent with high-functioning sociopathy. In his interactions with Clive, he admits that he wishes he had the same energy and passion as his comrades, and that he feels strange and weird as a consequence. In his DLC Support with Python, he also mentions that he courted a woman for some time, but does not miss her whatsoever since joining the Deliverance, and questions if he's simply incapable of feeling love. In both cases, he's assured that it's perfectly fine for him to be different that way, especially since it makes him an effective strategist.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Alm seems to think that the war is taking its toll on her mental health, as she does seem a bit more unhinged in her dialogue compared to early on. This could very well be a variation of PTSD.

* BreakTheCutie: Implied. While no one knows if she was unhinged or not in the past, Faye seemed like a normal friend with a normal crush on Alm when she was a child. However, in one of their supports, Alm notes that the war is taking its toll on her mental health to the point of having an AmbiguousDisorder and a minor {{Yandere}} streak. It didn't help that she got unlucky enough to get threatened by Slayde when she was a child, which may have contributed in traumatizing her.

* GrumpyBear: He claims that he tries to be nice but people get on his nerves, resulting in him acting surly and unfriendly.

* MeaningfulAppearance: Clive has one under his lower lip, and true to the "moles on the face are signal of tragedy" myth, he faces lots of difficulties through the story: the struggles of the Deliverance, his sister and girlfriend's captivities (and possible deaths), his best friend's FaceHeelTurn and eventual death, ''his own early death'' if Mathilda kicks it...

* HiddenDepths: Despite his laid-back and devil-may-care demeanor, Gray sometimes reveals himself to be a very observant and pensive individual, concerned with the world, but at a lost for direction. He's also the highest-leveled starter villager, and often acts as their unofficial leader, besides Alm himself.
