Constance

Profile Constance was originally a lady of House Nuvelle, a noble family from the Adrestian Empire that collapsed during the Dagda and Brigid War years prior to the beginning of Three Houses, and is the only survivor. The tragedy that befell House Nuvelle deeply traumatized her, giving her a dual personality disorder that triggers when exposed to direct sunlight, as it reminded her of House Nuvelle's destruction. She is also a childhood friend of Mercedes.

She attended the Fhirdiad Royal School of Sorcery and graduated in Year 1177.

Following the collapse of House Nuvelle, Constance moved to Abyss. Despite this, she hasn't given up on her dream of reviving House Nuvelle, and she is watching vigilantly for a chance to do great things and gain worldwide recognition.

Cindered Shadows Constance was the first to suspect a mole in Abyss after Aelfric was abducted, deducing that since only the people in Abyss knew about the Chalice of Beginnings, someone would've had to inform the kidnappers about the treasure. Later, Yuri admitted to her that keeping her off his trail was the hardest part of his plan.

Academy Phase Like the other members of the Ashen Wolves, Constance can be recruited if Cindered Shadows has been completed. If recruited into the Black Eagles, Constance shows surprise at Edelgard's plan, stating that if she had learned of it, she would have vehemently opposed her.

War Phase Crimson Flower Despite Edelgard's manipulation in the Holy Tomb, Constance decides to support Edelgard and Byleth against the Church of Seiros. After the war, she rebuilds House Nuvelle.

Other Routes Constance is left baffled by Edelgard's actions and decides to oppose the Empire. While in disbelief at the prospect of invading the Empire, she reasons that she could achieve her dreams if the Empire was destroyed and the Kingdom rebuilt. After the war, she rebuilds House Nuvelle.

Personality Constance speaks in a domineering, haughty tone, but maintains a scope of politeness and refined speech, being a noble before hiding in Abyss. At times, she can be rude, especially when loudly voicing her aspirations to restore House Nuvelle. Interestingly, Constance also seems to need praise to feel better about herself, as in her victory quotes she demands recognition.

Due to the tragedy that befell her house, Constance suffers from dual personality disorder. Her aforementioned personality are her dominant traits when indoors or outdoors during darker hours or overcast days. When she is exposed to sunlight, she is much more lethargic, apathetic, and even self-deprecating. Her tone is much more polite, but always stated in a manner that seems like she is inconveniencing her conversational partner. This trait is also uniquely reflected in gameplay, as her personality exhibited during a given battle depends on the environment in which it's set.

Magical research and development are Constance's favorite activities, believing that it is the best (and only) way to restore House Nuvelle and return it to prominence. However, these spells tend to have questionable utility, such as a spell that gives a rainbow hue to tea which, while beautiful, is ultimately useless. Another spell she develops – after an (ironic) suggestion of Yuri to "get down on all fours and lick [the nobles'] boots" in their C support (which she took literally) – would turn leather into licorice, something that earns her bewilderment from Yuri. That said, in most of her endings, her research eventually culminates in restoring House Nuvelle and making it well known across Fódlan.

She holds some distaste for the Adrestian Empire as its actions led to her parents' deaths. Though she bears no grudge against Edelgard, even speaking in a friendly manner to her, she coldly dismisses her apologies for her father's actions. However, she admits if she had known about Edelgard being the Flame Emperor, she would have done everything in her power to stop her, even if it stopped her chance at restoring her family. Should Constance be recruited in Crimson Flower, though, she'll change her viewpoint after admitting to forcing information out of Edelgard.

Through her heritage as an Imperial noble, Constance has personal history with Ferdinand and Mercedes. She used to be close to the former, but their relationship has strained due to his father's inaction when her house fell and his initially clumsy attempt to reconcile with her. She is much more friendly to Mercedes, treating her like a big sister, and expressing dismay that they were so close to reuniting with each other at the Royal School of Sorcery.

She is also aware of Jeritza's identity as Mercedes' brother Emile, and is among the few to refer to him by his real name while noticeably not afraid of him at all, even when he assumes his Death Knight persona.
