Explaining my Fire Emblem Mage Tier List,
SS-Would want them as a best friend
S-They feel like the friend of a friend or family member
A-Second-tier friend
B-Okay
C-I’ll probably end up ignoring you, but you’re all right.
D-Ummm…
E-These guys never helped me or the characters I liked
SS characters:
Miriel-The original “witch librarian,” before Lisa from Genshin Impact, though Miriel is more studious and Lisa’s more flirtatious and may have a relationship with her boss, Jean. It helps that Miriel is voiced by Tara Platt, but I liked her before I knew that, simply because she was a bookish mage who could handle herself in battle and was one of the most competent units in Awakening.
Edelgard-Also voiced by Tara Platt, I liked her as soon as I heard that familiar Mitsuru and Kali Belladonna voice in the Black Eagles trailer. Tara’s good at projecting being in charge, but with Edelgard, she gives a whole new dimension of the depression and outrage Edelgard feels over having her childhood ruined by Thales and the apathy Rhea gave. It makes her cute moments with Byleth, Petra, Dorothea and Ferdinand all the more enjoyable.
Annette-Voiced by goofball Abby Trott (if you’ve seen her photos on her Twitter account, you understand). Annette creates an atmosphere it’s hard to be sad or mad in, instead replacing it with hope and desire to go forward and finish the job. She’s also got an amazing critical hit rate and is adorable with Caspar, Lysithea and presumably also Felix, since that seems to be Abby’s favorite.
Lysithea-I don’t know the name of her voice actress. Lysithea ends up one of Edelgard’s friends if you recruit her, discussing having two crests (both were forced to have this by Those Who Slither In The Dark) and fighting for a better future. She also has a competition with Annette over who can improve their magic, and defends Marianne as both have crest secrets. While she’s rough around the edges, she is very loyal and protective and is someone you want in your corner.
Manuela-Voiced by Veronica Taylor (Ash and his Mom in Pokémon, no, I’m not kidding), Manuela gives Edelgard insight into the mindsets of religious people, gets hungover at times (requiring Edelgard, Byleth or others to clean up the mess) and is a classic opera singer. She, Annette and Dorothea ask if it is possible to sing to end war if you have them all recruited.
Hanneman-I don’t know his voice actor. Like Lysithea, he has conversations with both Edelgard and Annette, Annette about her being studious, Edelgard about how the world they live in is like the Dr. Seuss book “The Sneetches” and they would ideally invent a crest-off/crest-on machine to get their society to the end of the book.
Ricken-Voiced by Yuri Lowenthal. You follow Tara Platt long enough on Twitter, you know she loves that man more than life itself. Not hard to see why, he’s intelligent, knows when to speak out and to be silent and is the best partner a woman could ask for. He fights for all the right causes that make sense, too. If I were to start Awakening again, this guy would be Miriel’s husband, because it’s nerd tradition.
Hapi-I don’t know her voice actress. Part of Edelgard’s Three Hopes paralogue, which is really fun to play and helps let out some frustrations you take on fighting alongside her against Those Who Slither In The Dark. Also has silly-cute nicknames for everyone on base, like “Bernie-Bee” for Bernadetta, “Eddy and The Bert” for Edelgard and Hubert, “Lys” for Lysithea and “Shammie” for Shamir.
Citrinne-Voiced by Brittney Karbowski, sounds a little like Camie from My Hero Academia and not much like Wendy Marvell. Part of the extended Brodian Royal Family, Citrinne is capable with magic, but because I partnered her with Tiki, she spent a good portion of the game turning into a dragon for part of the fights (similarly, Brittney’s character, Wendy, was raised by dragons in Fairy Tail). She interrogates Yunaka about herself, only to find her the victim of a tragic past, and sees Merrin as cool, even though Merrin is embarrassed by her interest in animals. Bad experiences with past friends have led Citrinne to believe she must be extravagant when giving gifts, but Alear and Veyle tell her otherwise.
Veyle-voiced by Megan T. Harvey. Alear (the protagonist of Engage)’s little sister, Veyle is used and abused by their father, Sombron the Fell Dragon, to further his plans to gather the Emblems, create zombies and ruin the land. However, Veyle truly desires a compassionate family and Alear helps her escape Sombron and join her team. I usually pair Lucina with Veyle as a counterpart to pairing Marth with Alear, and have the two of them swordfight their enemies. Veyle is also potent at magic and it was a joy to see the sisters bond.
Micaiah-voiced by Veronica Taylor. I have not yet played Radiant Dawn, but Micaiah is a good friend in Engage, helping Yunaka join the heroes. I like that Veronica Taylor voices her, because she uses her “Ash’s Mom” voice from Pokémon which makes Micaiah come off motherly and caring. She helps you move forward gently and, in Heroes, uses powerful magic to defeat opponents while coming off as a genuinely kind character.
Pandreo-I sadly do not know his voice actor. The brother you wish you had. Pandreo is a priest in the Divine Dragon’s Church in Engage and helps Veyle accept herself being a Fell Dragon. He also puts on great parties where he and others howl. His sister is the axe-wielding Panette, a retainer to Princess Timerra, who speaks politely around Timerra and most others but has an original “unlearned” style of speech. The bro-priest we all want but sadly can’t have because he’s not real.
