Joshua (Summer)

Profile: Joshua is met by Eirika and her group in Serafew where he is working as a mercenary on a job to kill Natasha. Natasha approaches Joshua to tell him about the emperor's strange changes; however, he seems to be uninterested in her words. Sometime after this, he went into the local arena, but lost most of his gold. Upon being spoken to by either Eirika or Natasha again, he has a bet with her and flips a coin, ultimately joining Eirika's group, most likely due to cheating to win her favor.

During this time he worked with Caellach in a mercenary troop; he appears to have earned a penchant for stirring up trouble off the job, but Caellach appreciated him anyway.

If the player follows Eirika's route and Joshua is in the player's army in Chapter 14A, it is revealed that Joshua is actually Ismaire's son and the prince of Jehanna, but left as he had grown tired of palace life and wanted to explore the world himself so he could be worthy of the throne in his own eyes, having left his mother with just a letter ten years prior to the events of the game. After witnessing her death, he promises to use his experience to improve his country. If he's deployed in the next chapter and fights Caellach, he confronts him over his mother's death. If the player chooses Ephraim's route, Ismaire's death is not mentioned and the two simply have a friendly chat before fighting each other.

After the war concludes, Joshua returns to Jehanna as its king to bring the country into an era of prosperity not seen before. If he has an A rank support with Natasha, Gerik or Marisa, they accompany him back, the former marrying him and the latter two serving as companions.

Personality: Joshua is a roguish, flirtatious, casual person. He's also very cunning, enough so that he can cheat without getting noticed, although Gerik and Artur can catch on to him. Despite being fairly unlucky, he believes in luck more than ability, and is carefree about his job, as shown when he is sent to kill Natasha, he'd rather head back to the Arena.

Joshua has a jovial and laid back attitude, but he is also very skilled in the battlefield, and can be loyal and genuinely kind. He feels deep guilt over abandoning his mother, but doesn't regret leaving his kingdom for his adventures since he desired to know better the world and his people, as he had grown tired of the stiff formality of palace life. Overall, he shows the most kindness to girls, as shown in his conversations with Natasha, Marisa and L'Arachel.

Despite his con-man streak, Joshua can be fairly honest when needed, as seen in a support conversation with Innes where he cheats Innes out of tons of gold. The Frelian prince refuses to give up, despite having lost so much money. He later admits to him that he cheated and offers to return the gold, though Innes allows him to keep it and continues to bet with him. In his supports with L'Arachel, he loses his bets and attempts to rig the game towards his favor, but continually fails

Appearance Description:

A confident and adventurous young man whose appearance radiates charisma, freedom, and effortless charm. He carries himself with the relaxed confidence of a seasoned traveler, someone equally comfortable exploring distant shores, enjoying lively festivals, or embarking on dangerous adventures. His overall presence feels carefree and approachable, yet there is an unmistakable sense of strength and experience beneath his laid-back demeanor.

His build is lean, athletic, and well-defined, possessing the toned physique of an active adventurer rather than a heavily armored warrior. Years of travel and physical activity have sculpted a body built for agility, endurance, and flexibility. His visible musculature is balanced and natural, emphasizing athleticism over sheer bulk.

His skin is fair with a lightly sun-kissed complexion, suggesting frequent exposure to warm climates and coastal environments. The healthy tone complements his vibrant appearance and reinforces his image as someone who spends much of his time outdoors.

His face is handsome and youthful, featuring smooth, refined features that create an effortlessly attractive appearance. There is a calm self-assurance in his expression, often accompanied by a subtle smirk that hints at a playful personality and a mischievous sense of humor.

His eyes are a vivid crimson-red, matching the color of his hair. They possess a sharp yet relaxed quality, reflecting confidence, intelligence, and a willingness to take risks. The striking coloration immediately draws attention and serves as one of his most distinctive features.

His hair is a rich crimson-red, falling in long, flowing layers that extend well past his shoulders. The vibrant locks frame his face and cascade down his back, giving him a dramatic and eye-catching appearance. The length and volume of his hair contribute greatly to his free-spirited and adventurous aesthetic.

A wide-brimmed straw hat rests atop his head, partially shading his face. The hat is decorated with a teal-blue band and serves as both a fashionable accessory and practical protection from the sun. It enhances his image as a traveler accustomed to warm climates and open skies.

Several bracelets and bands adorn his wrists, adding a casual and personalized touch to his outfit. These accessories suggest a collection of souvenirs and keepsakes gathered throughout various journeys and adventures.

Draped over his shoulders is a large teal-blue poncho trimmed with warm orange accents and decorative tassels. The garment hangs loosely around his frame, creating a relaxed silhouette while adding movement and color to his appearance. The poncho gives him a distinctive wandering-merchant or traveling-adventurer aesthetic.

A decorative circular brooch fastens part of the poncho near his shoulder. The metallic ornament serves as a subtle focal point and adds additional detail to the ensemble.

His chest and abdomen remain uncovered beneath the poncho, revealing his toned physique and reinforcing the casual, tropical nature of his attire. The open design reflects both confidence and practicality in warmer climates.

Wrapped around his waist is a deep red sash that provides a bold contrast against the cooler colors of his outer garment. The sash helps unify the outfit's color palette while adding a sense of movement and flair.

His lower attire consists of fitted green shorts designed for comfort and mobility. The simple design allows unrestricted movement while maintaining the relaxed and adventurous feel of the overall outfit.

His footwear consists of simple dark sandals, emphasizing practicality and comfort over heavy protection. The choice reinforces his image as a traveler who values freedom of movement and adaptability.

The overall color palette of crimson red, teal blue, emerald green, warm orange, and deep scarlet creates a lively tropical aesthetic. Altogether, he gives the impression of a charismatic wandering adventurer—confident, stylish, and endlessly free-spirited, equally suited for exploring exotic coastlines, uncovering hidden treasures, or charming everyone he meets along the way.

Other Information: Well, who’s this dashing Hero? It’s none other than Joshua, and this time, he’s arrived in tropical style!

Back in Magvel, Joshua was best known as a wandering mercenary, though he was secretly the missing Prince of Jehanna. After his return to the kingdom, he heard his mother’s dying wish, and set out to defeat the Grado Empire.

Joshua usually wields a sword, but this time he’s carrying a bow made from coral! If he’s anywhere near as good with a bow as he is with a blade, I think we can expect a lot from him!

He also loves games of chance, and to him, being on vacation is no excuse to turn down the thrill of a wager. Well, I hope he doesn’t get too carried away!
