Shez

[Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes] She has a fixated revenge goal on defeating the Ashen Demon, Byleth, after he slaughtered Berling's Mercenaries, leaving Shez as the sole survivor. Shez, despite having a lack of sentimentality for her fallen comrades, still holds vengeance from her bitter defeat. Shez was born in a remote village in Ordelia territory in Fódlan. Due to being orphaned as an infant, never knowing her late birth parents, Shez was raised by her adoptive mother. She helped Shez with literacy and other aspects of basic education, a luxury among commoners. After her passing, she turned up for lowly mercenary work. Due to enduring the death of her adoptive mother and witnessing the casualties in her line of work, she purposely avoided forming intimate relations until enrolling in the Officers Academy in Garreg Mach Monastery by saving the House Leaders. There, she is able to foster genuine camaraderie among the students.

PERSONALITY: A bonafide mercenary through-and-through, Shez takes work wherever she can get it, so long as she is properly compensated. While loyal to coin in exchange for her services, she holds a code of honor and will fulfill her contract to the very end, even if she is offered a much better deal from another. This is a means to establish integrity, thus garnering credibility and getting more clients due to her strong work ethic and determination to finish a job. Shez also has a tendency to rush into the thick of battle without hesitation, often leading her into extremely dangerous groups of enemies on the battlefields to bring flashy results to build a prestigious reputation for herself. Even if she claims she's only here for the money, she's more loyal then she lets on. Extremely blunt and headstrong, Shez is straightforward with her feelings and is rather open about talking about her thoughts and sharing her past. With her peers, she's quite cheerful and friendly with a down-to-earth attitude. Although oblivious to picking up the cues to the deepest most worst aspects of others, Shez ends up accentuating their positive traits by acting as a close friend and supportive comrade to them. Holds a terrible sense of direction, even disliking reading maps. ESTP 9w8

ARVAL: A mysterious genderless being that appeared in her dreams, Arval rescued Shez before she was killed by the Ashen Demon and speaks to her as if living in her consciousness. Sassy and prideful, they hold a snarky tongue, especially towards authority figures, though still having a soft spot for Shez. Arval believed defeating Byleth is Shez's destiny. Their strategic mind and the calm voice of reason contrasts with Shez's hotheaded and boisterous nature. Arval channels their power through their vessel Shez, bolstering her combative abilities, giving her a summoned blade to wield, and sometimes shifting her purple tone into a fiery orange hue. Her newfound power after establishing her bond with Arval leads her to be a bit reckless in many situations and formulate outright absurd ideas for the sake of getting stronger. Arval notes that there were at least twenty-two instances in the span of six months that Arval had to intervene to save the both of them, three of which Shez jumped off a cliff to "get tougher."
