Setsuna

Hoshidan archer who is either fearless or daydreaming. One of Hinoka's retainers. Appears in Fire Emblem Fates. Name: Setsuna Gender: Female Race: Human Birthday: May 20 Relatives: Unnamed father Occupation: Retainer of Hinoka Weapon: Bow </Personal Information> Setsuna is a young woman with average height, short blue hair with a bang covering her left eye, blue eyes and fair complexion. Her attire consists of a dress with blue and white colors, a white hairband, blue gloves with her ring fingers and pinky fingers exposed, a yellow fur sash on her waist, maroon blue pants underneath the dress and blue boots. Setsuna exudes an aura of calm and quiet, although this, contrary to being due to her being well-trained and disciplined, stems instead from her chronic absentmindedness and laziness. Her absentmindedness has, on multiple occasions, seen her blissfully walking into traps without once realizing the danger that is presented to her, the result of her daydreaming and losing focus of the path ahead of her. Even after being ensnared by traps, Setsuna is known to treat her predicament with bemused apathy, believing that Hinoka will always somehow manage to locate and rescue her from her plight.

Setsuna's absentmindedness has also helped her to develop a hilarious immunity to sarcasm, a fact that sees her often mistaking the insults of others for compliments. Her support with Saizo particularly brings out this aspect of her character, where she manages to frustrate him by mistaking his insults for compliments. Ironically, it is this very absentmindedness that makes Setsuna proficient in battle. Neither bothered with the opinions others may harbor of her nor intimidated by her opponents, she is able to engage in battle very well, focusing solely on sniping her foes with deadly precision.

Despite these weaknesses in Setsuna's personality, she is not without her strengths; through her supports with Hinoka, Hana and even the sharp-tongued Azama, it can be observed that Setsuna is actually able to discipline herself when she is seized with the desire to master certain skills. She has demonstrated this through learning to cook with Hinoka and Azama, understanding the benefits of teamwork with Hana in practical settings, and learning to avoid traps altogether with male Corrin. She is also completely fearless, which enhances her performance in battle since no enemies ever scare her enough to lose her focus. Her loyalty to Hinoka is absolute, and she shows it through refusing to abandon her after she's defeated in Conquest and saying that she'd rather die than acknowledge the loss against Nohr.

Her father studied medicine and at one point helped Sumeragi while he was bedridden, thus buying their noble status. This resulted in Setsuna becoming interested in medicine and learning how to make salves, as seen in her support with Hinata. However, her lack of drive and motivation stopped her from pursuing this. It is implied she has a strong immune system from her exposure to medicine.

Setsuna is the most flexible and limber member of the army. A member of a noble family in Hoshido, Setsuna was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, a fact that saw every one of her heart's desires fulfilled almost instantaneously. This fact alone has resulted in her feeling that her life lacks any sort of excitement. This feeling was altered one day when she was accidentally caught in a hunting trap; despite the inconvenience, she derived much excitement in the event, and according to her, it marked the first time in her life that she had ever felt alive. From this point onwards, Setsuna regularly gets herself caught in traps, although she often requires either Hinoka or Azama to free her from them. Setsuna uses bows as her weapon.
