HISTORY
Despite being 1 of 11 children, and 9th in line to the throne, Edelgard is the Emperor of a nation. She has suffered the torture of childhood experimentation and out of her siblings is the sole survivor. Upon taking the throne she threw an uprising against her nation’s church and fought to free the nation not only of its caste system, but those who terrorized it from the shadows.
PERSONALITY
♦ Dignified → Coming from noble birth, Edelgard has been taught to act with a refined air about her. She'll rarely swear, avoid using slang, and generally steer clear of contractions. Though she does have little patience for others this means that while trying to keep her manners in tact while dealing with her frustrations she will come off as cold, curt, or in some cases demanding. A bad habit from growing up as Emperor Apparent.
♦ Stubborn → To her core Edelgard is a relentless creature. Stubbornness and defiance helped keep her alive while she was being experimented on during her childhood, so it's how she knows to survive. She pushes on despite drawbacks or unforeseen events in the tides of war, and it seems there are few lines she won't cross to make her dreams a reality. In fact she's so bullheaded that she'd rather accept death in defeat than surrender herself to the mercy of her enemies.
♦ Perfectionist → Edelgard is a perfectionist, and is easily embarrassed if people see her performing lower than what she believes her standards are. The main character at one point sees a portrait she drew of them, but since she's not expertly skilled at drawing Edelgard is quick to hurry Byleth out of her room and refuses to let them see it. This ties in with her extreme work ethic. She focuses so hard at being the best she can be that she leaves little to no time for recreation. In fact she's also been known to harp on others who seem to be, in her opinion, slacking.
♦ Standards → While there is little she won't do to achieve her goals she has a distaste for collateral damage. If Byleth confronts Claude and convinces him to stand down or go into exile Edelgard will allow the main character to spare him. In addition it seems she genuinely detests the people she works with who have no regard for human life at all. Her right hand man, Hubert, mentions to Byleth that it took some strong convincing to get Edelgard to agree working with "Those Who Slither in the Dark" and even as she does cooperate with them it's a reluctant partnership at best.
♦ Wistfulness → Due to practically being robbed of her childhood and having no time to relax there is a soft spot of her that wishes for days to idle and gorge herself on sweets, and occasionally she will slip away to avoid being "nagged" into doing more work.
♦ Lonely → As a result of moving between the Empire and the Kingdom as a child coupled with all her family being gone Edelgard lives a lonely life. She made one friend in her childhood (aside from her retainer, Hubert) however they were only together for a year, and she doesn't remember him well. Even now as she surrounds herself with her peers she finds she's unable to connect with them as equals. Whether it be because of her status or because she was unable to learn how to interact with friends due to losing many of her younger years being trapped and experimented on after she returned home to the Empire is unclear.
QUIRK IN-DEPTH: If you have a quirk from your essence, feel free to flesh it out more here! (The one in the Essence box is more like a quick reference note).
ABILITIES
