Veyle

Daughter of the Fell Dragon. She has devoted a loving heart to working for the good of humanity. Appears in Fire Emblem Engage. Name: Veyle Gender: Female Race: Manakete (Fell Dragon-Mage Dragon Hybrid) Birthday: September 12th Age: 1000+ (Chronologically) 16 (Physically) Height: 5' 2" Relatives: Sombron (Father), Unnamed Mage Dragon (Mother), Alear (Older Half-Sibling), At least four other siblings (Deceased), Nel (Surrogate Half Sister) Occupation: Princess of Gradlon Weapon: Tomes </Personal Information> Veyle appears as a young girl with fair skin, long lavender hair that reaches her feet and purple eyes. Top of her hair have white wing-like appendages. She wears a white sleeveless dress that resembles feathers with red and blue tints. She is also barefeet as well. Her legs also have leg cuffs on them. Veyle is an innocent young girl who is on a personal quest to locate her long lost sibling. She desires to make friends and easily believes in people who treat her kindly without a second thought. Her brief encounters with Alear at the beginning of the story show that she is polite, expressing gratitude for them bandaging her leg. For some reason, she feels a closeness to Alear and a desire to see them again in the future.

As a world traveler, she is eager to see and try new things. Most notably, Veyle enjoys spicy food and has been shown to have an extremely high tolerance for it. In several of her supports, she especially enjoys alarmingly spicy food that easily incapacitates the rest of the cast while she at best shows only mild discomfort. On the other hand, she dislikes sweet food.

Veyle holds incredibly strong feelings of love towards her family and dreams of having loving relationship with both her father and her lost sibling. Despite Sombron never showing her affection, with Veyle even admitting that he mistreated her at a very young age, she naïvely clung to her desire to have her father love her. In turn, this allowed him to easily manipulate her into aiding his schemes, albeit against her will through Zephia's magic. It is only after realizing that Sombron is incapable of love and beyond redemption that Veyle gave up on trying to reconcile with him. Even after defecting, she admits to Alear that she cannot completely hate her father, but has long since resolved herself to live on for the sake of her true family remaining.

Alear's unconditional love towards Veyle swayed her into joining their cause, especially once she learned that they are the sibling she was searching for. She developed something of a protective streak of them, desiring to handle the Corrupted Lumera out of concern for their emotional well-being of a potential battle with their beloved mother. While touched by her gesture, Alear assured Veyle that they would face every hardship together as siblings, a fact supported by their Support conversations. She fondly remembers her mother and was saddened by her death. Despite her mother being killed by humans for being one of Sombron's mates, Veyle holds no hostility towards humanity as a whole. She can also bond with Nel, who is also a child of Sombron, albeit from an alternative Elyos. Though initially disappointed that Nel does not seem to share the sentiment, with time and progress through their support, Nel can accept Veyle's request and thus give her another sibling to love.

Since discarding her evil persona, she desires to be more useful to people more than anything, and is the ally most able to withstand pain. Veyle harbors heavy guilt as a result of of her actions under Sombron's control and seeks to atone for it, particularly towards Diamant, Ivy, and Hortensia due to her indirect role in their fathers' deaths. Her status as a Fell Dragon also worries her as she believes some will hold disdain for her as several dragons in the past were killed by humans simply for being associated with Sombron, such as her mother, and the scorn she had received from humans directly a thousand years prior. Despite this, Veyle's character becomes known to the people of Elyos, beginning with a small Solm congregation who have begun to worship her as a good-natured dragon, despite her Fell Blood, much to her shock. With support of Alear, and according to her endings, Veyle becomes a well-loved figure as a monarch and a divine entity worshiped throughout Elyos over the millennia.

Under Sombron's control, Veyle has a split personality caused by a spell by Zephia that forces her draconic instincts. As a visual indicator, she has red eyes when under this persona and her purple eyes demeanor goes into hibernation when her eyes are red. Her instincts make her arrogant, sadistic, and cruel. Her affection towards her father is transformed into fanatical devotion and a desire to become a true Fell Dragon like him. While her true personality has virtually no recollection of her red eyes' actions, the red eyes persona is aware of her other form and has some memories of it. Due to this, she expressed sadistic pleasure in her normal form's horrified reaction to her actions and at the possibility of her normal form being erased upon the completion of the brainwashing. Veyle is the youngest child of Sombron and an unnamed Mage Dragon. As the youngest of Sombron's children, she was the only one not to have fought in his war for the Emblem Rings. She had very few interactions with her other siblings as a result as most had perished during the war before she could meet them. The sole exception was her older sibling Alear, whom she had met only once. Veyle bonded with Alear and as a memento to make her feel safe, they gave her their Dragonstone before returning to Sombron's service. Despite rumors that Alear had perished, Veyle was unconvinced as their dragonstone remained intact, a sign that they still lived.

Veyle was primarily raised by her mother, though she was killed by humans when they discovered that she was one of Sombron's mates. Sombron would later be sealed by the Divine Dragons shortly after. Left alone, Veyle remained in hiding due to the potential scorn she would receive as his child. A sect of Fell Dragon worshipers found her and placed her in a hidden temple where she slept for centuries.

Veyle is first encountered shortly after the battle at Florra Mill Town where Alear is ambushed by a Corrupted. She appears and slays the Corrupted. Grateful for her rescue, Alear gives her their name and she introduces herself as well. She tells them that she is looking for someone, but declines to travel with them as she has somewhere else to go and the two part ways.

During the assault on Lythos Castle, Veyle participated, albeit under the influence of Sombron. Wearing a hood, she attempted to attack Alear, but her attack was intercepted by Lumera, who died from her wounds. Veyle is encountered multiple times throughout Engage, seemingly out of pure coincidence wherever Alear was most recently. In actuality, Veyle has a split personality, one completely loyal to Sombron and the other still desperately in search of Alear.

To bind her loyalty to Sombron, Veyle is fitted with an enchanted helmet that amplifies Zephia's mind control spell on her, eventually completely suppressing her original personality so long as the crown is worn. Horrified by the lengths they would go to control her, Marni attempts to break the helmet, but Veyle is protected by a barrier and Marni is subsequently killed by Zephia for her attempted betrayal. In the ensuing battle, Alear and their forces are able to defeat Veyle and Marni's attack earlier had cracked the crown, allowing them to damage it enough to give the normal Veyle back control. Sombron appears, and having deemed her defective, launches a powerful breath attack at her, forcing Alear to intercept the attack, but is mortally wounded. As they die in her arms, Veyle realizes that Alear was the very sibling she had been searching for the entire time.

In an astral plane, the spirit of Veyle reunites with the spirit of Alear. Having lost all hope with their death, Veyle gives up and pleads for Alear to remain with her in the astral plane. Alear declares that they will not give up and asks Veyle to use her Fell Dragon powers to revive them as a Corrupted so they can try and save the world one more time. Veyle's ritual is a success and Alear is revived. Though her power only temporarily keeps them tethered to the physical world, the Emblems take over and bestow her sibling with a miracle blessing, thus turning them into an Emblem. With her sibling fully back, Veyle resolves herself to continue fighting by Alear's side to stop their father.

Sombron protects himself through three enchanted crystals in different locations in Gradlon. Veyle, still having lingering abilities from Sombron's control, is able to sense the crystals and guides Alear to them. This leads to a final battle against the remaining Four Hounds and a trip to the past to defeat Alear's past self. When Veyle senses the final crystal, she secretly heads there before Alear because she could sense the final guardian. Arriving at Gradlon Temple, Veyle encounters a Corrupted Lumera. Knowing that Veyle is Alear's biological sister, she offers to be her mother as she was to Alear. When Veyle refuses, Lumera attacks her in anger for murdering her and robbing Alear of her as a result. Alear and their forces arrive at the temple in time for them to protect Veyle. While appreciative of her sentiment, Alear promises to Veyle that they will face any challenges together, rather than alone.

Veyle would help Alear stop Sombron's ambitions in the Portal to Other Worlds, slaying him once and for all. With Elyos at peace once more, Veyle attends Alear's coronation as the new Divine Dragon Monarch for Lythos. She would later return to Gradlon and work on restoring it. Her efforts over a century led to the newly established people of Gradlon to chant for her coronation as the first Monarch of Gradlon. After much resistance, she would eventually accept the role with the descendants of Alear's forces and Alear themselves witnessing her ascension. Veyle's main weapons are tomes.
