* DependingOnTheArtist: Before ''Shadows of Valentia'' updated and solidified his character design, nobody could decide if Alm had blue or green hair, or if he wore a MartialArtsHeadband or not.[[note]]On the box art for ''Gaiden,'' his hair is green and he has the headband, but he's got blue hair (and the "headband" resembles a circlet) in game.[[/note]] His appearance in ''Awakening'' tried to [[TookAThirdOption take a third option]], with primarily green hair and blue tips, and got rid of the headband entirely. His combat/dungeon model also has brown eyes, rather than the green used in all of his official art and cutscene appearances.

* MartialArtsHeadband: In ''Gaiden'', Alm wears a headband, although in-game in the NES version and ''Echoes'', it looks more like a circlet.

[[caption-width-right:350:Sharp Soldier]]

A distinguished member of the Deliverance who comes to Ram Village in order to recruit Mycen, but settles for Alm instead, seeing his potential.

->'''Class:''' Soldier\\
'''Age:''' 24\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakahiroSakurai (Japanese), Creator/GregChun (English)

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: When Fernand calls him out on his underhanded plan to take the Rigelians in Zofia hostage to secure the Deliverance's escape, a plan no one but Lukas and Clive knew about, Lukas asks Fernand, "...Clive sanctioned these measures. Do you question him?" He excuses himself before he can get a reply, leaving Fernand to stew.
* AscendedExtra: He goes from a one-note ally in ''Gaiden'' to TheSmartGuy in ''Echoes''.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While Lukas ''is'' a nice guy, that doesn't mean he isn't capable of coming up with some pretty underhanded tactics. For instance, when the Deliverance is surrounded by both Slayde's men and Rigelian forces in the DLC, he convinces Clive to follow his plan to get Slayde to let them go by threatening to have all the Rigelian civilians they've captured executed. Even Slayde is surprised that they'd resort to something like that, but it works.
* BigBrotherMentor: His relationship with Alm has shades of this, especially early in the game where he's [[TeamDad the only adult party member for a good chunk of the first chapter.]]
* BloodKnight: A subdued example, but Lukas considers battle "invigorating" in his map clear quotes and considers the thought of an epic battle between god and mortal to be exhilarating right before facing off against Duma himself.
* {{Bookworm}}: Mentions in his DLC Support with Forsyth that he loves a good book and reads often when he gets the chance.
* ChickMagnet: Python mentions in their DLC Support that Lukas is quite popular with the ladies.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: His class set outfits are the same shade of purple-red that his default soldier armor is.
* CrutchCharacter: Very useful for carrying your party early on, but he slowly becomes a little less effective over time as other units surpass him. Less so in ''Echoes'', where it's much easier for him to remain useful all the way to the end.
* {{Foil}}: To Forsyth in regards to their family backgrounds. While Forsyth's scholar father tried to make his son become a scholar instead of a warrior, Lukas' father ordered him to become a knight instead of letting him even read books. Lukas himself is a red soldier who is calm and composed, while Forsyth is green and is quite excitable.
* {{Herald}}: His main purpose is to give Alm the CallToAdventure.
* IronicEcho: In the last mission of Rise of the Deliverance, Slayde condescendingly says, "Do you understand now? Shall I spell it out with small words? Rigel has formally acknowledged that the chancellor is Zofia's true ruler!" After Lukas reveals the Rigelian hostages, he replies, "Do you understand now, Slayde? Or shall I use small words? The Deliverance has rounded up every last Rigelian in Zofia."
* LackOfEmpathy: Implied, 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.
* MightyGlacier: He's bulky, but as typical of Armor Knights, he is severely lacking in Speed. He's a prime candidate for the Villagers Pitchfork due to this, since as a Mercenary, he'll gain a good Speed growth increase, and thanks to his high Attack and Defense, can be one of the strongest units in the game.
* MrExposition: Lukas fills Alm in early on about the progressing war between Rigel and Zofia and important plot and gameplay points as they become relevant.
* MyGirlBackHome: Has a lover waiting for him, as revealed in his DLC support with Python, although he admits that they might not actually be all that in love with each other, as Lukas doesn't actually miss her too much. His ending never mentions if he got married or not, so whether or not they did stay together is left ambiguous.
* NervesOfSteel: His biggest strength is his ability to stay calm at any given moment. In fact, there are no moments in-game where he breaks from his stoic, yet focused personality. For example, when he learns the Deliverance outpost has been overrun and Clair has been kidnapped, he remains unflappable and basically follows Alm's lead to take the outpost back.
* NiceGuy: The man doesn't seem to have a single mean bone in his body. For example, he is totally understanding of Tobin wanting to fight to secure funding for his family, and unlike most of the other nobles, including Clive to a degree, never shows even the slightest amount of contempt for Alm as a commoner.
* NotSoStoic: In the second Rise of Deliverance chapter, he and Python recall one incident when a duke who joined the Deliverance called him a backwater buffoon, Lukas lost his temper and beat him in a duel.
* NumberTwo: Is Clive's closest confidant, as he values Lukas for his thoughtful judgment and clear mind.
* OfficerAndAGentleman: His demeanor is always unfailingly calm and professional. Even while engaging enemies or learning disastrous news, Lukas maintains a polite composure.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He doesn't look much older than Alm and his friends, but is 24.
* OnlySaneMan: Clive considers Lukas to be the the only rational and normal person among the Deliverance. Considering the mix of interesting personalities among the rest of the group, it's hard to argue with him.
* PragmaticHero: In the final Rise of the Deliverance chapter, Lukas facilitates the Deliverance's escape from Zofia Castle by taking Rigelian civilians as hostages and threatening to execute them if safe passage is not granted. Fernand later lays into him for being no better than the invaders, but the others accept it as a necessary tactic.

-->''"Pray this ends quick."''\\
''"This is farewell!"''\\
''"They never learn."''\\
''"It's my turn now!"''
* RecurringElement: Lukas is an interesting case; originally, he was the closest thing Alm's army had to a Jagen/Oifey while also juggling the role of Draug, being one class tier up from than the villagers that round out the starting party, and a threat to their growth if he's overused in the first few battles (though class changing works totally differently in ''Gaiden'' and they can catch up rather quickly). In the remake, a knight who joins later on, Forsyth, was changed to have green attire and hair, now making them the closest thing the game has to a Cain and Abel. Despite having the same class as each other, the right color scheme, and even contrasting personalities, they really aren't ThoseTwoGuys. That honor goes to Forsyth and Python (an archer).
* RedIsHeroic: An upstanding young man with a solid moral compass whose armor is almost entirely red. He subverts the typically HotBlooded aspects of the trope, though.
* TheReliableOne: Lukas is very intelligent, level-headed, and skilled, so Clive can more or less entrust any task to him to take care of and Lukas will surely see it done to the best of his ability.
* RequiredPartyMember: He is one of the few characters on Alm's route whose recruitment is not optional.
* SelfMadeMan: A base conversation reveals Lukas grew up as a lesser noble, but through hard work, acquired the rank and esteem of the soldier he is today.
* SiblingRivalry: Lukas has an older half-brother who holds a bitter one-sided rivalry against him. While the brother is set to inherit the family's fortune, he still considered Lukas a threat and ordered him to join the Deliverance, [[UriahGambit hoping Lukas would die fighting]]. Rather than resent his brother, Lukas chose to devote himself to the Deliverance and shape himself into someone who could rise above those who would see him fail.
* TheSmartGuy: He is the main strategist of the Deliverance.
* TheStoic: He's not excited by much. It actually bothers him as well, as he wants to be passionate like the other Deliverance members, but he can't force himself to be so.
* SupportingLeader: For most of Act 1, he's in charge of Alm and his friends.
* WithThisHerring: One DLC mission features him rescuing some Deliverance soldiers from pirates by himself with only Python and Forsyth's help, because a fellow noble Lukas came to blows with caused mass desertion among the allied troops after Lukas defeated him in a fight.

[[caption-width-right:350:Wry Comrade]]

One of Alm's friends from Ram Village, who joins the Deliverance alongside him for the adventure. He falls for Clair, and marries her after the war.

->'''Class:''' Villager\\
'''Age:''' 18\\
'''Voiced by:''' [[Creator/KisshoTaniyama Kishō Taniyama]] (Japanese), Creator/MaxMittelman (English)

* AdaptationDyeJob: He had green hair in the original ''Gaiden'', but changed to black hair in ''Echoes''.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: In ''Echoes'', his skin is a vague shade of brown.
* AscendedExtra: He goes from a one-note ally in ''Gaiden'' to one of {{The Big Guy}}s and one of ThoseTwoGuys in ''Echoes''.
* ButNowIMustGo: If Tobin survives but Clair dies, Gray is so crushed that he leaves and never returns.
* CasanovaWannabe: Gray is always eager to greet the ladies his party encounters and eventually fixates himself on winning Clair over.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Gray's class set outfits are the same bright green that his villager's overcoat is.
* CrutchCharacter: To a mild degree. At the very start of the game, he's a few levels higher than Alm and the rest of the villagers, and he can reclass right out of the gate, while the others need to train for a bit. But he's not better than they are by ''that'' much, and his growths are good enough to keep him relevant even after the others catch up.
* DeadpanSnarker: Not quite to Python's level, but he usually has a quip or two for every occasion.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Gray always had a feeling he needed to do something with his life, but could never figure out what. By joining Alm on his adventure, he hopes he can figure out what that is.
* DoggedNiceGuy: According to Clair's ending in ''Echoes'', Gray's tenacity eventually won her over. The original, however, implies that he just wore her down and she married him as a consolation prize for being unable to marry Alm, though she ''does'' remain single if he dies and her ending in that case suggests that he'd charmed her.
* DrowningMySorrows: If Clair survives but Tobin dies, it's said that Gray falls into a deep depression and alcoholism in the ending. He gets back on his feet with Clair's support and, when they marry, they name their firstborn after Tobin.
* {{Foil}}: ''Shadows of Valentia'' turns him into one for Tobin. Gray is laid-back, witty, and fairly street-savvy, contrasting with Tobin's excitability, cautiousness, frequent obliviousness, and insecurity.
* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: Gray is the Realist amongst the Ram villagers, understanding how the world operates and how to survive within it, providing a middle ground between Tobin's caution and Alm's recklessness.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Despite not having a "canon" class, he is most commonly depicted as a sword-wielding Mercenary, and is generally agreed to be the best candidate for the class among the villagers due to his relatively high attack. This is reflected in most trailers, which often show him as a Mercenary or Dread Fighter, while his ''Cipher 0'' artwork depicts him as a Dread Fighter.
* 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 loss for direction. He's also the highest-leveled starter villager, and often acts as their unofficial leader, besides Alm himself.
* InformedFlaw: Downplayed. His looks aren't really commented on outside of his ending, in which he describes himself as having the "big heart" while Tobin has the "pretty face". While his artwork does depict him with a bucktoothed smile and he's not the conventional pretty boy that Tobin is, most fans would agree that Gray is still quite attractive.
* LoveTriangle: Gets into one against his best friend, Tobin, both falling for Clair. Gray ultimately comes out on top, and Tobin gives his blessings.
* MagikarpPower: Well, [[DownplayedTrope not so much]]. Sure, he starts at Villager which has relatively low base stats, but he can class-change into one of the basic classes immediately as he starts with high enough level to class change... as soon as you get access to the first Mila Statue after two overworld maps and a dungeon visit, so he won't be immediately strong from the right-start for the earliest moments. Additionally, training him further is actually an option, but slightly discouraged due to the EXP decay for overleveled characters.
* MusclesAreMeaningful: In ''Echoes'', his short-sleeved shirt exposes his prominent biceps as the most muscular of the three initial male villagers. As such, he has the highest Attack growth among them, but is tied with [[CuteBruiser Faye]] for the highest Attack growth amongst the Ram Villagers sans Alm.
-->'''Gray:''' ''[After leveling up]'' Who doesn't love a strong man?
* MythologyGag: His new artwork for ''Echoes'' mirrors [[http://i.imgur.com/9lUzW1b.jpg his pose from his shared artwork]] (he's the one with green hair) from the original ''Gaiden''. His newfound expression and buck teeth, however, are derived from [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:CliffFE2.gif Kliff's original mugshot]].
* NiceGuy: He's a little boisterous at times, but he's genuinely kind and arguably Alm's best friend next to Tobin. In ''Echoes'', Clair considers this one of Gray's best features.
-->'''Clair:''' Honestly, I enjoy these talks of ours. And not because of the sweet nothings you whisper. But because as clumsy as you are, I know you would never hurt a fly. You're a kind man, Gray.
* PluckyComicRelief: He's easily the most laid-back and jovial of the villagers and is their primary mood maker, despite being the oldest. Lampshaded in one of his dodge quotes:
-->'''Gray:''' I thought I was the funny one!

-->''"It's been fun."''\\
''"Okay!"''\\
''"Bye now!"''\\
''"Sorry!"''

* RescueRomance: What he hopes he might get by helping save Clair, or at the very least RescueSex. Can come to fruition if both he and Clair survive the game.
* SecondLove: For Clair, quite more in ''Echoes''.
* SingleTargetSexuality: He becomes completely enamored with Clair after meeting her and does his best to impress her. Even after she sternly rebukes his advances, he tells her that it only makes him pine for her more.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The whimsical and witty Wise Guy to the more down-to-earth, practical Tobin.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Tobin. The pair regularly chime in their point of view as the plot progresses, providing the opinions of normal commoners swept up in Alm's endeavors.
* UselessUsefulSpell: If made to a Mage, he learns Sagittae at level 9... then learns Thunder at level 10, despite it being worse in every way but HP cost and weight (which are irrelevant, since he's a MightyGlacier as a spellcaster) to the spell he learned one level ago.
* VitriolicBestBuds: He and Tobin may fight over Clair, but if Tobin dies, Gray will be almost inconsolably depressed according to his ending, which will not change in the original. But in the remake, Clair manages to console him and they marry, and Gray names their firstborn after Tobin.
* WalkingTheEarth: His ending in both ''Gaiden'' and ''Echoes'' if Clair dies. ''Echoes'' even states that his friends try to track him down, but fail.

[[caption-width-right:350:The Clueless One]]

One of Alm's friends from Ram Village, who joins the Deliverance alongside him, hoping to earn money for his family. He seems to have feelings for Clair, but loses her to Gray.

'''Age:''' 17\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AtsushiAbe (Japanese), Creator/RobbieDaymond (English)

* ActionSurvivor: Unlike the other villagers who mostly JumpedAtTheCall, Tobin was never exceptional at anything, never really finds any reason to care about the war, is never eager to rush into danger, and was the only one who is ever really shaken by the villains, and was even considering giving in to Duma. Still, if he manages to live to the end, he definitely counts as this.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Had pinkish-purple hair in the original game, but is changed to brown for ''Echoes''.

* BigBrotherInstinct: His biggest motivation for joining the army is earning money to support his family, particularly his younger siblings. His supports with Kliff also have shades of this.
* BlowYouAway: Beside Fire, the only spell he learns as a Mage is the wind spell Excalibur.
* ButtMonkey: He's constantly the butt of Gray's jokes, Kliff is pretty rude to him, and he loses Clair to Gray. This even extends to his ''Heroes'' appearance, in which he is given the very unflattering title of ''The Clueless One''.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Tobin's class sets are all yellow ochre like his villager's tunic.
* DeadGuyJunior: In Gray's ending where Clair lives but Tobin dies, he names his son after him.
* DoubleTake: Frequently does this in ''Echoes'', often in response to Alm's bold actions.
-->'''Gray:''' [Alm] just declared war on the whole damned empire!\\
'''Tobin:''' I know, but I think it was a nice spee- WAIT. HE DID WHAT?!
* {{Foil}}: ''Shadows of Valentia'' turns him into one for Gray. Tobin is excitable, cautious, and oftentimes oblivious, while Gray is relaxed, witty and street savvy.
* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: Tobin serves as the Cynic amongst the Ram villagers, often being the first to identify dangers and remind Alm not to drag them into a reckless fight. He explains he does not fight out of a desire for bettering the world, only to provide for his family.
* FriendlyRivalry: Seems to have fun comparing his fighting prowess with Alm and Gray, but he's a loyal friend first and foremost.
* GracefulLoser: Tobin ultimately gives up on winning over Clair and gives Gray his blessings. Late in the game, Tobin will also tell Alm he knows he will never surpass the latter, and accepts that maybe his role is to support him instead.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He admits to Alm that he's infuriated with himself that he'll never quite be able to measure up to Alm, but he still comes along the entire journey despite his jealousy, and remains one of Alm's closest confidants.
-->'''Tobin:''' Alm, I'm gonna level with you. I always hated how you were better than me at everything. Gray told me I should stop trying to compete with you, but damn it... I just couldn't see how we were in such different places. But I understand it now. You're meant to lead, and you have the strength and ability to back it up. My job isn't to be better than you, it's to be part of your strength. I'm not going to say I like it... but I can definitely accept it. So I just want to let you know that I'll always be there for you.
* LoveTriangle: He finds himself in one against his best friend, Gray, both pining for Clair's affections. Ultimately, Tobin admits Clair is out of his league and chooses to support Gray.
* MagikarpPower: As a Villager, he starts out weak but can become any class if effort is put into him.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: It's never specified how many younger siblings he has, but he mentions having several.
* OneSteveLimit: Seeing as [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening we already have a Robin in the cast]], it makes sense his name would be changed from the Japanese.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: In ''Echoes'', he states that his primary motivation for joining the Deliverance is to get money. Unusually for this trope, however, he gets very little grief for this, partly because he has a family to support, but Lukas also explicitly states it would be ridiculous to ''expect'' somebody to repeatedly risk their life without being compensated.

-->''"This one's mine!"''\\
''"Have some of this!"''\\
''"You and me!"''\\
''"This is the part that hurts!"''
* PrettyBoy: Acknowledged in Gray's ending, where he says that Tobin has the "pretty face" of the two. He's also slightly more slender than [[MusclesAreMeaningful Gray]] is.
* PunchClockHero: In ''Echoes'', he only joins the Deliverance to put food on the table for his large family.
* ThePowerOfFriendship:
-->'''Tobin''': Even without gods, I have my friends. With them, I can survive anything.
* RagsToRiches: In his epilogue, Tobin joins Alm's royal knights and his diligent work earns him a title and even a castle.

* SpiritedCompetitor: He's eager to show up Alm and Gray in terms of battle performance, and ''especially'' Alm. Later on revealed to be the result of his own insecurities, and ultimately he comes to terms with his role as Alm's support and friend.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The more practical, down-to-earth Straight Man compared to the more whimsical, witty Gray.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Gray. The pair regularly chime in their point of view as the plot progresses, providing the opinions of normal commoners swept up in Alm's endeavors.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Tobin has a rivalry with Gray over Clair, but both guys keep the friendship and the romance separate, and Tobin is hurt deeply if Gray dies. If this happens, his ending says that he disappeared for some time, and when he returned and officially became a Knight of Valentia, he was far more serious.
* WeakButSkilled: Has a relatively high Skill growth rate but low Attack growth, which generally puts him into classes like Archer.

[[caption-width-right:350:Curious Spirit]]

One of Alm's friends from Ram Village, who joins the Deliverance alongside him, hoping to see the world. After the war, he parts ways with Alm and the others and leaves on a solitary journey.

'''Age:''' 15\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MitsukiSaiga (Japanese), Creator/ChrisPatton (English)

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Like with [[Characters/FireEmblemShadowDragon Abel]], he used to have a bucktooth in his portrait which has disappeared in his redesign.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: He's the youngest among Alm's ChildhoodFriend group.
* BadassBookworm: He enjoys reading and learning in his spare time, and is plenty strong once he gets a few levels.
* BlasphemousBoast: Said he to Duma...
-->'''Kliff:''' It's all [[TheSocialDarwinist strength and power]] with [[MadGod you]]. If you're that desperate for a show of force, [[PreAssKickingOneLiner I'll be happy to oblige.]]
* ButNowIMustGo: His endings in both the original and the remake state that he says goodbye to Alm and leaves Valentia, never to return. Decades later, however, his son (a talented mage) arrives to Valentia and serves the King.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Oddly, despite his Villager outfit being various tones of purple, all of his outfits if he reclasses are black and dark gray.
* DeadpanSnarker: Easily the most readily sardonic of Alm's village friends.
* DeathByAdaptation:
** 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.
* HatesSmallTalk: Kliff prefers to keep to himself and doesn't like to socialize unnecessarily, even with his friends.
* InelegantBlubbering: As a child, he was reduced to sobbing when his friends were forced to fight off Slayde's men. By the events of the main story, however, Kliff is far from a crybaby.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He gets annoyed easily and will try to push people away by acting cold and aloof, but his supports with Tobin show that he does feel bad about it, especially when Tobin continues to be nice to him.
* JumpedAtTheCall: While he seemed passive about it, Kliff secretly longed to leave the village and his boring life behind to see the world. He will thank Alm for bringing him along should he survive long enough to see Rigel.
* 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.
* MagikarpPower: Kliff starts off at a low level and with low stats even for a Villager, but his stat growths are high. Putting effort into him will certainly reward you with a powerful unit. To wit, Kliff's exceptional speed growths make him fantastic in classes like Soldier and Cavalier which have low speed bases in all of their promotions. He also has the potential to be the best Sage in the game, as among the male Mages he is the only one who has access to Aura, and not only has the best speed and skill growths, but only loses in defense growths to Boey.
* MyBelovedSmother: Kliff has an overprotective and self-centered mother, and getting away from her is one of the reasons he's eager to leave Ram Village.
* MysticalWhiteHair: This white-haired youth has the best magic set of the starting villagers and is mentioned to have practiced fire magic despite being a mere Villager in the prologue chapters of ''Echoes''.
* {{Nerf}}: With the exception of Thunder, Kliff learns all of his Mage spells later in ''Echoes''. This means he no longer is the early game powerhouse he was in ''Gaiden'', as he'll have a hard time double-attacking foes until he learns Excalibur.
* OptionalPartyMember: While Gray and Tobin are required this time around, Kliff remains entirely optional. If the player decides to, he can even be left in Ram Village and picked up by Celica's party in Act 2. However, he'll lose out on his supports until Alm and Celica's parties merge.

-->''"Don't push me!"''\\
''"You watching?"''\\
''"Now you die."''\\
''"Fine!"''
* PurpleIsPowerful: Has some of the best growths amongst the villagers and wears purple.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: While he is quite intelligent and studious, Kliff is also fiercely independent and puts on an air of arrogance, keeping others at arms length most of the time with his wall of sarcasm.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Downplayed, but as a child, Kliff was shown to be more open and friendly, and was even a bit of a crybaby. However, over the years, he became more independent and closed off, growing frustrated with village life, having to put up with the other kids his age and his mother. The friends who knew what Kliff was like before, like Tobin, still know he's a good guy at heart.
* WalkingTheEarth: Perhaps even more-so than Alm, Kliff wishes to see the world. His epilogue has him leaving Valentia entirely, venturing to parts unknown, and his death quote in ''Echoes'' is about this too:
-->"Ngh... So this is it... I wish I could've seen more of the world... before the end..."

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

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

* MagikarpPower: Well, [[DownplayedTrope not so much]]. Sure, he starts at Villager which has relatively low base stats, but he can class-change into one of the basic classes immediately as he starts with high enough level to class change. Still, he won't be immediately strong from the right-start for the first three maps or so.

* MagikarpPower: As a Villager, he starts out weak, but when leveled up, he is able to Class Change into almost any class in the game.

* {{Bokukko}}: Uses the boyish first-person pronoun "boku" to refer to herself in the Japanese version.
