Ryoma is a major playable character from Fire Emblem Fates on the Birthright and Revelation routes. The eldest of the Hoshidan royal siblings, Ryoma is the high prince of the country, commanding the loyalty of Saizo and Kagero as his personal retainers. If Ryoma achieves an S support, he will bear a son named Shiro with his spouse; if he marries Female Corrin or Azura, he will be the father of Kana or Shigure respectively.
Ryoma is the eldest son of Sumeragi and Ikona and the eldest child of four in the Hoshidan royal family. When Sumeragi married his second wife Mikoto, Ryoma helped the nation warm up to the new queen by establishing a strong relationship with his step-mother. Ryoma also recognized Mikoto's birth child, Corrin, as his new sibling. However, Ryoma lost this sibling when they were kidnapped as an infant and raised in Nohr.
In line with his position as the direct successor to the helm of Hoshido, Ryoma is a valiant warrior and leader. He has spent years honing his edge in battle and developing a keen mind to better honor his father's legacy. He cuts a figure of calm collectedness, keenly scrupulous as he rigorously analyzes the innumerable situations that he finds himself mired in before finalizing any decisions. This greatly contributes to this aura of charisma and wisdom that he is known to exude, one that sees many turning to him for his sagely advice in support conversations. Adept in the art of war, this, combined with his shrewd sense of insight and intelligence, has helped Ryoma to lead the Hoshidan army to victory in the campaigns they have participated in. Further complementing his astute skill as a battle tactician is that of his skill with the sword, one that is regarded to be unparalleled throughout the kingdom of Hoshido.
Ryoma is both an admired figure by his people and his siblings. Despite his many duties, he is keenly aware of his siblings strengths and weaknesses, including both Corrin and Azura. With the former, he provides wise council throughout the war in Birthright and Revelation and is pleased with Corrin's growth throughout their journey. Though Azura pushes her self away from Ryoma and the others once Corrin returns, Ryoma is left hurt by it and tells her that despite Corrin's return, Azura still remains his sister in his eyes and encourages her to open up to him and their siblings. However, in Conquest, Ryoma severs ties from them both as they fight for Nohr and puts his nation over his feelings to his former siblings. In an act of cruel irony, Ryoma experiences first hand Corrin's benevolence and true intentions in their allegiance to Nohr. Even as enemies, Ryoma could see Corrin's role in the world and entrusts the future to them by sacrificing himself, making the hard decision for them to push them further.
Ryoma can be emotionally distant at times as he has carved out a image of perfection for himself that makes it difficult for others to approach him. Even his family feel inferior to him and vie for his attention by being useful to him. This is especially true for Takumi and later his own son. Deep down, he cares for them and is keenly aware of their shortcomings, yet encourages them to see beyond just their roles as warriors of Hoshido. He encourages Hinoka to relax once in a while and consider taking care of herself rather than devote herself solely to her warrior training. He advises Takumi to consider not just honing his skills as a warrior, but to sharpen his mind since Ryoma believes he will need wise advisors. He guides Sakura to see her true worth as a healer and to be confident in all of her talents. Ryoma cares deeply for his siblings, so much so that he was filled with righteous fury when Iago "revealed" that Corrin had killed Hinoka and Corrin refused to deny to claim as their hands were tied. At times, he laments that the war is the reason why he has the opportunity to bond with his siblings, but this further motivates him to end it so he can continue to bond with them in a time of peace.
In his spare time, Ryoma often meditates to keep himself calm. His undying will makes him the worst at knowing when to quit out of everyone in the army.
Ryoma is a tall, powerfully built man with a commanding presence. His most striking feature is his voluminous, spiky mahogany-brown hair, which flows down his back in a wild, mane-like fashion and is held back by an ornate, red-and-gold crown-like headband. He has sharp, intense eyes and a strong jawline, often set in a serious or focused expression. His attire is a distinctive blend of traditional samurai-inspired armor and regal finery. He wears deep crimson lacquered plate armor over white robes, featuring prominent flared pauldrons and a protective breastplate. A long, white, sleeveless surcoat with gold accents drapes over his shoulders, reaching down to his shins. His lower half consists of wide-legged white trousers tucked into elaborate red greaves. In battle, he is almost always seen wielding his signature katana, Raijinto, which crackles with blue electrical energy.
Xander is a major playable character from Fire Emblem Fates on the Conquest and Revelation routes. The eldest of the Nohrian royal siblings, he is the crown prince of the country, commanding the loyalty of Laslow and Peri as his personal retainers.
He plays a supporting role in Fire Emblem Heroes, in which he acts as Princess Veronica's general. As Veronica's subordinate, he takes an antagonistic role toward the Order of Heroes in Books I and II, but this shifts as Veronica's relationship with the Order changes in later Books.
Xander is the first born child of King Garon and the son of his first wife Queen Katarina, making him the Crown Prince of Nohr. His mother passed away at a young age, leaving him to watch as numerous of Garon's concubines attempt to curry favor with him by siring children with him. The result with numerous half-siblings, though after much in-fighting between them, often leading to assassinations of both the concubines and their children, by his young adult life, Xander was left with three younger half-siblings Camilla, Leo, and Elise. Most of the in-fighting ended when Garon formally married Arete, gaining an adoptive younger sibling Azura. However, after a ploy by Garon, which resulted in the death of Sumeragi, King of Hoshido, Nohr kidnapped and adopted a young Corrin, though this resulted in Azura being kidnapped in retaliation. Although kept in the dark until much later in his life, Xander grew fond of his new adoptive sibling, serving as one of Corrin's combat instructors.
The first impression of Xander was a physically weak and introverted boy, leaving concern if he would be suited to inherit the throne. According to his Japanese support with Corrin in Warriors, he was criticized by courtiers for being "unbecoming" for a Crown Prince because he was too withdrawn, an image he attempted to fix by adopting a serious demeanor. Additionally, he reveals to his son that whenever he was overly pressured in making a public speech, he would pretend that he was speaking in front of a group of rabbits (carrots in the Japanese version) in order to calm himself. As he confides to Sakura through their supports, Xander eventually overcame his shyness by forcing himself to talk to his father, King Garon, whom he had considered to be the most terrifying person he had ever known. Despite starting out poorly with a sword, Xander trained vigorously so as to gain the rights to wield the legendary sword Siegfried, eventually becoming one of the strongest people in Nohr and being one of only four people to have passed the Rainbow Sage's trials prior to the events of the game.
According to the supports shared between Elise and her retainer Arthur, Xander used to be much more doting and happy during her adolescence, and was even known to have enjoyed joking and playing with her. This same support also reveals that due to Garon being cold and ruthless even in his treatment of her, Xander used to act as a surrogate father towards her, providing her with the care and support that she needed. However, his change in personality and demeanor due to the stress of warfare have since caused her to step away from him, as she feels that it is more important for her brother to devote his fullest attention to his duties instead of indulging her.
He was given more backstory details in his support with Takumi in Warriors, which suggests a more prideful and reckless phase of his past life. He admits that similarly to Takumi, he used to train excessively out of pride that his skill with the sword could improve overnight, only to later realize to be useless, as his constant overworking drove him to become heavily bedridden from exhaustion in turn. Moreover, he recalled to have wandered off by himself to fight Faceless in order to test his ability, only to lose his way in Nohr's dark forests and wander lost for days, which resulted in him returning to the castle "parched and near death". The Japanese version offers a different version to this story, as he stated that he got lost in the forest finding Faceless to battle, but was able to return safely by the end of that same day. However, getting lost in the forest wasn't the sole outcome of his recklessness, as he was additionally harshly rebuked by his father.
Xander had two different retainers prior to Peri and Laslow. During a battle with the Hoshidan army, Xander's forces were overwhelmed and the two sent Xander away, fending off the enemy so he could retreat; as a result, both were killed in battle. While retainer-less for some time, he eventually found two new ones. The first was Peri, whom Xander had discovered at a noble's combat tournament. Despite placing third, her character and potential had impressed him enough to name her as his retainer. Later, Garon assigned a mysterious swordsman to him. Initially suspicious, Xander battled his second retainer, barely winning and was greatly impressed with his skill.
Prior to the events of Fates, Xander arrested Hans for unknown charges (which is a rewrite from the localization, as it has never been stated that Xander caught Hans himself in the Japanese version.) Even though Garon eventually released Hans for supposedly good behavior, Xander continued to remain suspicious of Hans.
A paragon of patriotism and fealty to Nohr, Xander acts as expected of his title as Crown Prince. He is a valiant warrior and the first one to charge into battle for the sake of glory for Nohr. Any order of King Garon is completed with utmost perfection, even when he does not wholeheartedly agree with the intentions or the immediate results. For the sake of his people, and most importantly his father, he believes that the ends will justify the means. While a harsh judge of character, he proves to ultimately be a shrewd leader who can see the best in people, even in the likes of his own retainer Peri for example, that other people may show pause or concern. This does not mean that he is completely accepting as he has his own opinions of certain nefarious individuals, even ones allied with his father, like Hans and Iago.
While his priorities are set on bolstering Nohr's interests, Xander is at his core a family-man. Despite the dark history of the Nohrian royal family, especially in wake of his mother's death and the ensuing power struggle between Garon's concubines, Xander shows true affection and care for his younger half-siblings. He frequently makes time at home whenever not out in battle or missions to spend time with his siblings, showing a surprising amount of knowledge of their preferences, hobbies, and habits. Even Camilla, who is incredibly knowledgeable of her siblings quirks, admits that Xander's knowledge rivals her. Corrin, his adoptive sibling, receives similar care and is one of their primary combat instructors alongside Gunther. He affectionately calls them "Little Prince/Princess" whenever giving counsel and has always held the belief that Corrin will do great things for the sake of Nohr. He will sometimes circumvent his father's orders if it will affect his sibling's well-being and has taken blame for their actions. However, on the battlefield, should any of them turn on Nohr, Xander shows no mercy on them and openly considers them an enemy such as Corrin in Birthright and Revelation or Camilla in Revelation.
Like Camilla and Leo, Xander cares for his step-sister, Azura and wanted to spend more time with her. In his support with Azura, he offered for her to attend meetings with him regularly even though he was aware of Azura's mistreatment by the Nohrians. In their Warriors support, Xander reveals that he's always thought of Azura as a younger sister. He always talks sincerely to her and felt like he lost a family member when Azura was kidnapped.
Xander has also been depicted multiple times in supports as a humble person who delights in bringing happiness to others without inviting any attention to himself. This extends to situations when it is blatantly obvious that he is responsible for the happiness experienced by others, where he will take the pains to stage arguments in order to conceal his involvement. In this regard, he is known to have gone so far as to outright deny claims that he has provided aid to others.
Having seen numerous battlefields, Xander is commonly depicted as battle-worn, having come to terms with the numerous lives he has taken for his country. As his supports with Nyx indicates, he is guilty from having taken so many lives and often wishes for death rather than to continue living with his crimes. He notes that his view of the world is more grey compared to Corrin's black-and-white outlook, believing that no one is truly evil, but merely shades of right and wrong that stems from their character. This is most reflected in his choice to have Peri as a retainer who, despite having sociopathic tendencies, he trusts with his life and does not force her to change her ways. He does not tolerate cowardice or needless slaughter, and is willing to cut the aggressor down to maintain Nohr's honor, as shown with Kotaro, when it was revealed he attempted to force Hoshido to surrender using Kagero as bait, Zola, when he attempts to win the war in a cowardly way by trying to kill the unarmed Hoshidans, and Iago and Hans, when they attempted to kill Corrin for sparing Hinoka.
Having lost two retainers in the past who sacrificed themselves to protect him, Xander's relationship with his two current retainers Peri and Laslow transcend the typical Lord-Retainer relationship. Prior to dueling Corrin in Birthright, he ordered his two retainers to stay behind to avoid needless sacrifice, but when they disobeyed, it caused him immense grief.
Xander has a never-ending obsession to improve himself due to lacking natural talent, a fact alluded to in his support conversation with Sakura, and admitted by himself in his support with Frederick. He reveals that due to not been born gifted, he has always been extremely diligent and serious in learning things or training so as to make himself competent. Furthermore, despite respecting Marth's opinion that he is indeed already very skilled and needs no further improvement, he disagrees and still firmly believes that he is not good enough.
He has the best handwriting in the entire army.
Xander is a tall, broad-shouldered man who exudes an air of stoic authority. He has short, wavy blond hair and sharp, light-colored eyes, often framed by a thin, dark metallic circlet across his forehead. His face is typically set in a stern, resolute expression, reflecting his role as the crown prince of Nohrian royalty.
His attire consists of heavy, jet-black plate armor with elegant gold trim, featuring prominent, rounded pauldrons and articulated greaves. Underneath the armor, he wears a deep purple tunic and a matching sash tied at his waist. A long, regal purple cape flows from his shoulders, completing his imposing silhouette. He is almost always seen with his signature blade, Siegfried, a massive dark sword that emits a sinister, crackling purple aura.

- #1Leo
Keys: leo, path
Leo is portrayed as possessing a keen intellect, one that he devotes towards the study of magic and strategy. In this regard, he is known to be diligent and hardworking in honing his expertise to a fine, sharp edge, to the point where he is widely regarded as a genius who is more than capable of flawlessly handling any difficult situation. Further complementing this facet of Leo's personality is the cold demeanor of calm that he assumes, one that he resolutely maintains even in the face of trying situations.
Beneath this exterior of perfection that Leo exudes, however, is a deep-seated inferiority complex that is specifically directed towards Corrin. This inferiority complex is not one that takes its roots from Corrin being his intellectual superior, stemming instead from the fact that they receive far more attention from Xander and Camilla than he does. This dimension of Leo's character is unveiled through his supports with Corrin, where he, while in the midst of tutoring them in the art of strategy, reveals his jealousy of Corrin having received far more attention than he has from both Xander and Camilla. When he directly confront both of them because of this, both explain that they have always cared for him and believed that he too will achieve great things for Nohr. As a result, Leo redoubles his efforts to be a valuable asset for his family and Nohr. He has a much better relationship with his younger sister Elise as she admires his intellect and usually goes to him for answers for things she is curious about and he appreciates her cheerful nature. Leo's only true sour familial relationship is with his mother, whom he states only sired him to gain favor with Garon and has bluntly stated to Elise that he hates his mother because she never showed him true affection.
Leo has shown that he truly cares for his elder step-sister, Azura as much as Xander and Camilla do. In his supports with her, Leo admires Azura's song. He apologizes to Azura, stating that her singing entranced him, as he had never heard music like that before. Leo is also aware of the stories about the Nohrians' mistreatment towards both her and her mother, Queen Arete.
In spite of him being recognized as an intellectual genius, Leo is not blinded by his reputation to the point of arrogance and pomposity. He is instead known to treat the people whom he engages with the utmost respect and civility, a fact that helps him cultivate strong relationships with relative ease. His supports with Mozu prove this point, where he, in response to her woefully commenting that she is not the right person to turn to for strategy advice, kindly informs her that different people possess different strengths and outlooks that help make them who they are.
Leo has also been portrayed to be quite the romantic, capable of capturing the heart of the lady whom he has fallen in love with. This fact can be observed throughout his S-Supports, where he is shown to refrain from being too forceful in his attempt to convince the woman he loves to accept him, choosing instead to adopt a slow, yet steady approach to prove the sincerity of his heart. Leo's S-Support with Nyx stands as a good example to prove this fact; in this support, he gently melts away the chronic insecurities that she harbors from being trapped in the body of a child by urging her to envision herself as an adult before carefully getting her to imagine him as her husband. In doing so, he succeeds in convincing Nyx of the sincerity of his love, following up his feelings with a proposal.
Like the rest of his siblings, Leo has immense pride in the Nohrian army and loathes those who attempt to use underhanded, dishonorable or cowardly methods. This is especially true with Zola, as he kills the mage in Revelation due to him taking hostages and attempting to use them as a bartering chip, nearly does so in Birthright (though he only relents at Corrin's urging). While he does not criticize him on Conquest, he nonetheless kills him in order to tie off loose ends, knowing that leaving him alive would be a liability. On the other hand, he despises Iago, disapproving of his tactics and inability to accept and admit defeat, killing him in both Birthright and Conquest due to his dishonorable methods and refusal to accept defeat, claiming that he brings shame to Nohr's honor.
For all of his perfectionism, Leo can be somewhat careless in simple matters, most notably having worn his uniform collar inside-out on multiple occasions. He likes tomatoes the most out of everyone in the army.
Leo is a young man with a slender build and a sharp, intellectual air. He has messy, chin-length blond hair kept in place by a simple black headband. His eyes are a cool, light shade of brown, often conveying a serious and calculating demeanor. His outfit is a sophisticated set of Nohrian dark knight armor, primarily black with intricate gold filigree. The armor features pointed, overlapping plates along his chest and limbs, with high, flared pauldrons. Underneath, he wears a high-collared purple and black tunic with a short, matching capelet. A blue sash with gold triangular patterns hangs from his waist over dark, textured leggings. He is typically shown holding his signature tome, Brynhildr, a thick purple book with ornate black designs, often surrounded by a swirling ring of purple magical runes when he casts spells.
- #2camila
Keys: Camila
Camilla is the eldest daughter and the second eldest child of five in the Nohrian royal family and the daughter of King Garon and an unnamed concubine. When Corrin was adopted into the family during their childhood, she acknowledged them as one of her younger siblings. Much like Leo and Elise, Camilla was unfortunately used as a tool by her mother in order to gain favor with Garon. In a bid to fill the void left in the wake of the lack of maternal love in her life, she thereafter became obsessively attached to Corrin, acting the part of the overprotective maternal figure to them.
At some point of time prior to the events of Fates, Camilla was the target of an assassination. When the assassin approached her, Camilla offered to hire her on the spot. This assassin turned out to be Beruka, who would later be appointed as one of Camilla's personal retainers. Later, Camilla came to meet a young mercenary girl whose strong combat skills deeply impressed her. This girl, Selena, was thereafter appointed as her other retainer.
Elegant, sultry, and coy, Camilla is an alluring woman who is protective of her kingdom and most importantly her family. She is marked by her strong motherly instinct that is given generously to her beloved younger siblings. Due to being deprived of a real relationship with her own mother, Camilla made it her life's mission to fill that void for them as she cherishes them above all else as well as her elder brother Xander. Though adopted, Camilla is especially fond of Corrin, of which she has shown almost excessive care towards. At times she tends to address them on a juvenile level, completely disregarding that they are both a full-fledged fighter by the start of Fates and is often smothering in her affection and care for them. Camilla is brutally honest with her protectiveness with them and would slaughter any who would bring harm or misfortune upon them. Seeing Corrin grow over the events of Fates fills her with immense pride and also sadness as they no longer have to rely on her.
With her other siblings, she displays similar motherly affection towards her two younger half-siblings, though to a much lesser degree. Leo wonders why she dotes so heavily on Corrin, her adoptive sibling, more than him, her half-brother. Camilla admits that she does give Corrin more affection, but does still dote on Leo and acknowledges his battle prowess. She even refers to him as her beloved "baby brother". With Elise, she is touched that she wishes to emulate Camilla's mature, ladylike nature though she encourages Elise to continue to be the "bright light" amidst the dark atmosphere of Nohr. With Xander, she admits that Xander's knowledge of his siblings likes and desires are on par with her, if not greater in some regards. Like her three siblings, she is supportive of his birthright to the throne. Finally, Camilla recognizes Azura as her sister and was heartbroken when she was kidnapped. Upon their reunion, she wants to make up for lost time and never forgot her despite the mistreatment by the Nohrian nobility as the step-daughter to King Garon.
Camilla's maturity and sophistication is her most prominent persona with the general populace and the other members of Corrin's army. Her language register is much more formal and polite, befitting a member of the Nohrian royal family. Through her supports with Laslow, she responds to his quips with a gentle politeness in spite of her awareness of his philandering ways and them broaching subjects of a morbid nature. She can bluntly threaten people with a smile on her face, usually through implied threats. Camilla shows hatred towards Iago, hating and distrusting him for being cruel and attempting to kill Corrin many times. She readily plans to kill him on the first opportunity when he is no longer protected by her father. She showed pleasure and delight when Leo finally kills Iago for good, knowing he cannot harm Corrin any longer.
Camilla is also ruthless and bloodthirsty on the battlefield, deriving disturbing joy from striking down her enemies with wild abandon. While she is not without the capacity to show mercy to her foes, Camilla usually only does so on the behest of Corrin. In Birthright and Conquest, she is particularly cruel to Hinoka, in the former, she become jealous and attempts to kill Hinoka and the Hoshidian royals for thinking they took Corrin away from and in the latter, she mocks Hinoka over that Corrin is fighting for the Nohrian army and has, essentially, chosen her over Hinoka. However, while she may have different desires than Corrin in dealing with the defeated Hoshidan siblings, she nevertheless respects Corrin's choice to spare them, warning Hinoka to accept Corrin's mercy and further goading her into acceptance when she reveals that Sakura was left alive by Corrin's decision. However, in Revelations, the two have a much friendlier interaction with Hinoka seeking her assistance in learning sewing, which she happily obliges.
In line with her motherly traits, Camilla is skilled in various domestic hobbies like cooking and sewing. When not doting over her family, Camilla enjoys relaxing in a hot bath and the person who enjoys it the most in the army. She is also knowledgeable of all the best hot springs in all of Nohr. She is completely comfortable in inviting Corrin to join her, regardless of their gender and their relationship status.
- #3Camila's physical appearance
Keys: camila
Camilla is a tall woman with a voluptuous, hourglass figure and a sophisticated, alluring presence. Her most notable feature is her long, wavy lavender hair that flows down to her waist, with a single thick lock often partially obscuring her right eye. She has soft facial features, warm purple eyes, and wears a dark, horn-like headband. Her attire is a provocative set of dark purple and black Nohrian armor. It features a form-fitting, low-cut breastplate with gold trim and segmented plating along her midsection. She wears heavy armored gauntlets and tall, pointed greaves that incorporate high-heeled boots. A sheer, dark purple fabric drapes from her waist, and she is typically seen carrying a large, ornate silver battle axe with a turquoise handle.
- #4Elise
Keys: elise
As the youngest of the Nohrian siblings, Elise has very little memories of the hostile nature of the Nohrian royal court. As a result, Elise's personality is defined by a pronounced lack of jadedness or cynicism. She is often described as "the light of Nohr" for her innocent, pure, and sweet demeanor. Her spirit of positivity is a source of morale for her comrades despite the many horrors the conflict between Nohr and Hoshido bring. She is playful and eager to make friends with other members of the army and has an especially tight bond with her childhood friend and personal retainer Effie.
Elise adores her older siblings as she supports Xander's efforts and vision for Nohr and encourages him to consider peaceful approaches, rather than the Nohrian standard of "force must be met with force" mentality. She admires Camilla's mature charm and wants to be like her. However, Camilla admires her positivity and encourages her to simply be the person she has always been. She dyed strands of her hair purple out of affection and admiration to Camilla. With Leo she admires his intellect and usually goes to him when she needs a question answered.
Though they are adopted, she adores her older sibling Corrin. As such, she is unrestrained in showing her affection for them, even hurling herself upon Corrin into a tender hug right from her very introduction. Despite being ordered not to accompany Corrin on their first mission by King Garon in Conquest, Elise openly defied the order and followed them, even assisting them. Likewise in Revelation, Elise excitedly joined Corrin without much need for persuasion to their cause, unlike her other siblings. She has always viewed them as an integral part of the family and hated seeing Xander and Corrin duel in Birthright. It is this love for her family that Elise put herself between Xander's finishing blow onto Corrin in a desperate bid to end the conflict between her precious family at the cost of her life.
Unlike her other siblings, Elise has a much more positive outlook on her Hoshidan royal sibling counterpart Sakura. Even when on opposing sides, she shows a much friendlier disposition compared to her older siblings and wanted to be friends with her. Their support has them bonding over their talents in music with Elise playing a violin and Sakura playing a koto. While her siblings have memories of Azura, she has none and she immediately wants to bond with her when they are recruited together. Though disappointed that Azura initially did not share this sentiment due to her own circumstances, her persistence won over Azura and she even received a kimono gifted to Azura by Queen Mikoto as an apology gift for hurting her initial feelings.
Elise is pained by the fact that she is the child of a concubine and that she was merely sired as a means to gain favor with Garon. The fact that her mother only seemed to care for Garon in her final moments despite Elise being next to her caused further hurt. She also has very little memories of her father and seemingly fears him in his current state. Nonetheless, Elise received much love from her wet nurse Cassita, whom she shares a true mother-daughter relationship and can be seen as the true source of Elise's spirit and cheer.
For all of her childish antics at times and innocence, Elise displays great observational skill and astuteness, adeptly adjusting her behavior to suit the occasion. Elise holds an altruistic approach with conflict and believes that Nohr needs to be lead by a person who can rule with both strength and compassion. She is more than willing to heal anyone, regardless of their past or their current action. Despite a sharp warning from Xander, she chose to heal enemy pirates. When they ultimately abandoned their captain as a result of her benevolence, it caused even Xander a moment of introspection on his beliefs.
Like all of her half-siblings, Elise despises all of her father's retainers Iago, Hans and Zola. When Iago attempts to kill Corrin for sparing Hinoka, Elise steps in, and along with the Nohrian royals, stands up to him by vowing to kill Iago for his cruel, disgraceful, and cowardly ways, even stated she always hated Iago for attempting to kill Corrin many times and becomes grateful when Leo executes Iago, knowing he will not harm Corrin any longer.
She is the best at remembering birthdays in the army.
Elise is a petite, young girl with a cheerful and energetic appearance. She has large, expressive pink eyes and long, pale blonde hair styled into two massive, thick pigtails that are braided with purple ribbons and secured with large black bows. Her hair also features a subtle purple gradient at the tips of her bangs. Her outfit is a youthful and ornate take on Nohrian fashion, primarily in black, white, and soft pink. She wears a silver-and-black armored bodice with a prominent white rose at the collar and large, puffed black sleeves. Her short, flared black skirt is layered over pink ruffled trim and worn with dark, criss-crossing leggings adorned with several pink bows. She is typically seen carrying an elaborate, golden-colored healing staff that emits a sparkling white and gold light when used.
- #5Sakura
Keys: sakura
Sakura is a major playable character from Fire Emblem Fates on the Birthright and Revelation routes. The youngest of the Hoshidan royal siblings, she is a healer who commands the loyalty of Subaki and Hana as her personal retainers.
Sakura is the youngest daughter of Sumeragi and Ikona and the youngest child of four in the Hoshidan royal family. According to Ryoma, shortly after her birth, her parents named her after a cherry blossom tree that bloomed beautifully every spring. Originally having another sibling in Corrin, Sakura lost them when they were kidnapped as a young child and raised in Nohr. Rumors spread throughout the castle that Sakura was supposedly the original target, but Ryoma had denied these notions to her. Still, this event had an effect on her personality, making her meek and timid.
Shy and timid by nature, Sakura is very polite to others but is prone to stuttering during her conversations, a fact that becomes especially prominent when she is nervous. She tends to be very easily intimidated when confronted with unfamiliar situations existing outside her comfort zone. These traits of hers particularly stand out when she is compared alongside her older siblings, all of whom are relatively more confident, self-assured and sanguine. Complementing her shy demeanor is a heart of compassion and kindness, a fact that has led to her devoting her life towards the cause of providing healing aid to others in order to alleviate their suffering. Her gentle demeanor and benevolent heart makes her the best at healing out of everyone in the army.
Hidden beneath the folds of Sakura's meekness is a strong will, one that emerges when she is tried by situations that threaten to endanger the lives of her loved ones. This fact is best exemplified through her actions in Chapter 25 of Birthright, where she stops Iago from ruining Azura's song to free Takumi from his spells and in Chapter 22 of Conquest; although she clearly possesses a disdain for warfare and harbors no desire to attack her sibling, she resolves to personally take up arms against them nevertheless for the sake of defending her homeland from their invasion. This applies out of battle as well, as she can be surprisingly fierce when pressured, snapping her staff in half with her bare hands out of pure frustration with Azama and even hitting him with it.
Sakura suffers from survivor's guilt in regards to Corrin's abduction. In their A-Support conversation, she reveals to Corrin that shortly after their kidnapping, she overheard a couple of servants mention a rumor that she was supposed to be the actual target. Since Sakura was extremely young when she heard this, she was not aware it was just a rumor and took it as fact, causing her to believe it was her fault her dear sibling was taken. She was slightly shy when reuniting with them years later, but like her other siblings, she wishes to reestablish a relationship with them and readily joins their cause in both Birthright and Revelations.
One curious quirk is her love of candy, which is to the point where she admits to have little self-control, as in her supports with Hayato she eats a large amount of red bean mochi with incredible speed, and the Beach Brawl DLC has her quickly change her mind about the contest when she learns the island has lots of sweets.
Sakura is a petite young woman with a delicate build and a gentle, often bashful expression. She has medium-length, wavy hair in a soft shade of salmon-pink, adorned with a thin red headband and a small, cream-colored flower clip. Her large, expressive eyes are a warm shade of amber. Her attire reflects her role as a Hoshidan Priestess, featuring a predominantly white and red ensemble. She wears a short, layered red skirt over white leggings—one of which has a dark, mesh-like pattern—and simple red footwear. Her upper body is covered by a white, high-collared tunic with wide, flowing sleeves and a short red-lined capelet fastened at the neck. A bright blue sash at her waist provides a pop of contrasting color. She is typically seen wielding an ornate healing staff, often surrounded by a soft pink, sparkling aura when in use.
- #6Takumi
Keys: takumi
Takumi is a major playable character from Fire Emblem Fates on the Birthright and Revelation routes. The third eldest of the Hoshidan royal siblings, Takumi is a skilled archer who wields the Fujin Yumi and commands the loyalty of Hinata and Oboro as his personal retainers. If he achieves an S support, he will father a son named Kiragi with his wife.
Takumi is the third child of four in the Hoshidan royal family, being the younger brother of Ryoma and Hinoka, the older brother of Sakura, and the second son of Sumeragi and Ikona. In addition, he is the stepson of Mikoto, the stepbrother of Corrin, and the adoptive brother of Azura.
In order to gain recognition for his strength, he has been tirelessly perfecting his practice of martial arts. Although not explicitly stated, Takumi does have some skill with the blade, but when he was humiliatingly crushed by Ryoma during a sparring match many years prior to the events of Fates, he chose to become an archer instead.
At the end of Chapter 6, depending on the side Corrin chooses, Takumi's involvement in the plot will be altered.
Takumi is portrayed in a state of moody malcontent and desires recognition for his own talents without being overshadowed by the achievements of his older siblings. This serves as a blessing and a curse; on one hand, it has spurred Takumi to be austere in his efforts to hone his skills, making him a very skilled archer. In his supports with Mozu, he disproves her doubts over his farming capabilities by tirelessly engaging in manual labor on the field. However, he is mentally weak due to his overwhelming inferiority complex, as especially shown by his constant, seething words of hatred under Iago's influence. The conversations he shares with Kiragi exemplify this complex as well: his immediate reaction to witnessing his son's stellar hunting skills at a young age is jealousy at the possibility of him surpassing him and mastering Fujin Yumi.
Despite trying to hide it, Takumi has also a slightly childish mentality, as he often lets Camilla and Orochi's teasing get to him in their supports, and admitting in Hinata's supports that he enjoys watching him trounce others in sparring. This is most exemplified in the Beach Brawl DLC as, unlike the rest of the royal brothers, he actually wants to go to the beach while trying to deny it, and admitting as much if he's defeated.
Takumi cares immensely for his siblings. He looks up to his elder brother, Ryoma, and demonstrates a strong will to protect Sakura from any harm. He also cares for his elder sister, Hinoka, but behaves particularly harshly towards her when she reciprocates with her own care (such as with wounds from battle).
Takumi is also known to be very cautious. In Birthright, he expresses open suspicion of anyone from Nohr. When Corrin makes the decision to allow Zola to accompany them to Nohr, Takumi makes it a point to remind them of the Dark Mage's previous attempt to kill both them and Sakura. This suspicion also extends to people who come from enemy countries as in Revelations he along with Leo is the most concerned with Anthony joining the group and in Warriors, he openly expresses his concern with Darrios aiding them despite that his country Gristonne is the antagonistic force. In the latter Ryoma berates him for it but also agrees his concerns. However, Takumi is known to be rather amicable and friendly around those he does trust. This is shown through his support conversations with Leo; he initially treats him with cold arrogance only to warm up to him upon learning about their similar interests and aspirations. Despite his outward hostility towards Nohr and its people, he displays an interest in their culture and history when Elise offers him books about Nohr in their support conversations.
Takumi is interested in shogi, talking about it in conversations with Leo, Hisame, and Kiragi. His interest in shogi mirrors Leo's interest in chess, while his partiality for miso soup mirrors Leo's love for beef stew. He is also skilled with the katana, as shown in his supports with Hinata and Hana.
Takumi is said to have the worst dreams out of everyone in the army. This is most evident in his S-Support with Azura, where he has a nightmare about Queen Mikoto's death.
Takumi is a young man with a slender but lean build, known for his long, light-gray hair tied into a high, spiky ponytail with a simple red ribbon. He has sharp, intense brown eyes that often carry a stern or suspicious expression. His Hoshidan archer's attire consists of a dark blue, long-sleeved tunic layered under a textured, tan-colored fur mantle that flares out around his waist. He wears matching blue leggings and light-brown fingerless gloves with red stitch detailing. His outfit is accented with several small red bows, particularly on his ponytail, chest, and footwear. He is almost always shown carrying his signature divine weapon, the Fujin Yumi, an ornate, light-colored bow that generates its own glowing blue energy string.
- #7Hinoka
Keys: Hinoka
Hinoka is a major playable character from Fire Emblem Fates on the Birthright and Revelation routes. The second-eldest child of the Hoshidan royal siblings, Hinoka is one of the princesses of the country, commanding the loyalty of Azama and Setsuna as her personal retainers.
Hinoka is the eldest daughter of Sumeragi and Ikona and the second child of four in the Hoshidan royal family. She originally had another sibling, Corrin, whom she was very much attached to. However, Hinoka lost this sibling when they were kidnapped as a young child and raised in Nohr. Furious at her inability to prevent the kidnapping, Hinoka thereafter began training as a Sky Knight around the age of seven.
Hinoka's natural inclination to be rash and hotblooded often made training difficult for her, a fact only worsened by Pegasi only accepting riders whose hearts are calm and not ruled by passion. As a result, she had trouble training her steed over the years, often running into accidents due to not being able to properly handle it. One of these accidents allowed her to meet Azama, who tended to her injuries and helped her return home. Forming the impression that Azama was a kind and benevolent monk, Hinoka later hired him to serve as one of her personal retainers, though she later regretted it, she still kept his services. If Azama is left unmarried at the war's end, she sends him to a remote region at the edge of Hoshidan territory, likely as a punishment for his more unkind actions.
According to Hinoka, she had, over the years, attempted to infiltrate Nohr and rescue Corrin on multiple occasions, although each attempt was halted by Ryoma and Mikoto.
At the end of Chapter 6, depending on the side Corrin chooses, Hinoka's involvement in the plot will be altered.
Though born a princess, Hinoka's personality is nothing typical of one. Serious, determined, and unsophisticated, she has the spirit of a natural warrior and valiantly charges into battle with utter fearlessness and courage. This spirit is strongly complemented by her passionate sense of patriotism, one that compels her to personally take up arms in order to defend her homeland and prevent its people from coming under harm. In this regard, she has the tendency to charge headlong into battle with wild abandon, often disregarding her personal safety and the objections of others as she does so. She is known to overwork herself to the point of exhaustion as shown in her support with Hinata.
Ryoma and Hinoka herself note that in the past, she was much more shy and even a crybaby. However, Corrin's kidnapping proved to be a turning point both in her lifestyle and her personality, as their kidnapping was the source of much guilt and regret in her incapability to rescue them, being devoted into becoming a warrior for that sole reason. As a side effect, this caused her to be unintentionally yet considerably neglectful to Takumi, Sakura and Azura, not spending a lot of time with them due to her constant training, as her supports are possibly the first real bonding time she's ever had with them, causing her to be stunned and regretful when she realizes that Takumi believes she wouldn't care if he died and Sakura thinks they are not alike at all. Despite that, she cares deeply for them, with her supports with Subaki telling that, in the midst of a heavy storm where Pegasi couldn't fly, she charged into a forest to look for a lost Sakura with complete disregard for the risks involved.
It is through Hinoka's adamant desire to protect others that a softer side to her personality is simultaneously revealed; she is, at the core, selflessly compassionate, where she values the lives of others more than she does her own, no matter what their social class may be. This is especially evident in her supports with Azama, where, in spite of his protests, Hinoka desperately attempts to salvage the life of a fatally wounded soldier, unreservedly demanding him to lend his healing assistance to her.
In her supports with Setsuna, it reveals that she is a poor cook, though they work together and eventually make a palatable omelet at the end of their support. If she supports with Camilla, who is an accomplished seamstress, she learns to sew and knit from her.
She is the most caring person in the army, knowing plenty of soldiers by name and acts with consideration towards them.
Hinoka is a athletic woman with a warrior's build, characterized by her short, vibrant crimson hair that is styled in a messy, practical cut. She has sharp, determined brown eyes and a serious expression that reflects her dutiful nature. Her outfit is a streamlined version of Hoshidan armor, consisting of a white and red tunic-style bodice with blue tassel accents at the waist. She wears white armored bracers on her arms and protective thigh-high greaves over dark leggings, accented with light blue ribbons. A long, flowing white scarf or capelet is often seen trailing behind her, emphasizing her agility. She is typically depicted wielding a long naginata with a curved blade, highlighting her role as a Sky Knight.
