Current Characters: N/A
IC Info
Name: Edelgard von Hresvelg
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Age: 22
Appearance: Image Link
Canon Point: Just after the 5 year timeskip as she waits in the monastery to fulfill a promise
Background: Wiki Link
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.
Weaknesses/Temptations:
Edelgard is so focused on her goals and ambition that she's prone to tunnel vision. If she gets it in her head that something is necessary to achieve her goals she will stray from the path of redemption to obtain it. When she doesn't get her way she has a tendency to get forceful, or violent if need be. She takes little issue with cutting through those that are in her path, and tempting her to do so could be fairly easy. Partnered with that she's quick to form grudges and hold fast to them. Those she feels have wronged her (like the Church, or the seven nobles involved in the insurrection that stripped her father of his power) are dealt with and she holds little to no remorse in disposing of them.
A final weakness that sits a little outside the others is her difficulty relating to her peers. When trying to be casual or make jokes others find it weird and out of place. This inability to connect with them as equals leaves her feeling upset and isolated which could push her away from connections that might want to help her redeem herself.
Sins:
♦ Murder
♦ Pride
♦ Selfishness
♦ Wrath
♦ Deceit
Powers/Abilities:
♦ Superhuman Strength (obtained from her two Crests - Minor Crest of Seiros, Crest of Flames)
♦ Jack of all Magics Master of None for Magic (she can learn a few generic, low level spells)
♦ Adept at wielding axes
Items: She will be "wearing" her axe Aymr if it's not too big to keep, a sachet of bergamot tea leaves, care items (oil and cloth) for her armor and weapons, and a plain but well crafted boar bristle brush with a wooden handle.
