Top 10 Badass Female Characters in Fire Emblem Fates (in my opinion)

10- Reina/Peri

Okay so the reason why there's two people in this slot is because they're literally the same archetype. They love blood and killing and violence and blah blah blah, BUT ALSO they have at least some levels of depth and complexity to their character to keep them from being boring one note death machines. Problem is Reina doesn't have any supports with anyone so you don't get to know much more about her, but she protected your mom. Peri protects your older brother. Anyone who keeps your family safe is definitely badass.

9- Kagero

Ah Kagero. You get captured all the freakin time but that's not your fault. You're still the best dread fighter hands down, and definitely my favorite ninja (Kaze is too fragile and Saizo is too slow and Soleil is unavailable to a path). Plus she's an artist and while she may not be the best painter she still loves it and enjoys her hobby. She's a loyal servant and an even more loyal friend, and would put her own life on the line to protect your brother.

8- Anna

Can't fault a girl for war profiteering. Strong independent woman don't need no man, been around the block for centuries and across kingdoms, crack shot with a bow, gold farmer, feisty redhead, runs circles around the L crew, I could go on. She's always on my team and is supported by MC for dem stats and the unity ability in pretty sure procs make a killing but idk. Regardless she's still gr9.

7- Arete

She gets killed like four times before finally going down, and that first time was fairly heroic honestly. Definitely one of the most important people in regards to lore.

6- Camilla

What list would be complete without the best sister??? No not because of her giant tiddies (awesome to look at they may be) or the giant ass window (also awesome to look at) or even the weird incest thing going on (I guess from a Japanese lens that's awesome too but eeehhh) but because she's actually a great combat unit especially if she spends a couple levels as a hero getting those skills. Axes AND magic AND an attack buff means she should always be out on the field. She may be insane and has a lust for blood rivaling Peri, but she's a good sister, a good ruler, and a good unit.

5- Soleil

Oh yes. FUCKING SUPERB YOU FUNKY LITTLE LESBIAN! She's a big glass cannon so I always make her a master ninja and god is she a good ninja. She never gives up even in the face of innumerable odds, she's got great stats all depending on who her mom is, she's SUPER FUCKING GAY FOR GIRLS, oh yeah and she's a teenager leading a band of mercenaries; how fucking cool is that?

4- Rinkah

Stomp on me like you stomp on enemies. Oni savages are like fighters with better stats and both blacksmiths and chieftains have some top notch skills and she's the only one in the game who can do that naturally. She's an adamantly staunch advocate for her people, and makes leaps and bounds of character development through her supports. She's also clearly the most visibly sculpted lady sans for maybe Effie and anyone packing that much solid muscle has got to be pretty fucking awesome.

3- Hinoka

Real talk tho Hinoka is the actual best sister slash mom. Proof? Setsuna and Azama are both still alive somehow. The providence that protects them from traps and getting choked to death has got to be the pegasus knight. She's the second best female offensive lance user in the game (excluding knight/cavalier/merchant/basara/etc who have different roles than pure adjacent physical lance-based dps), especially if she A+'s either Camilla or Setsuna and S's either Xander or Silas. She's got enough variety to her that I feel the Lucina seal would simply be wasted on her. My only complaint is that without reclassify she kinda sucks but hey, just buy a freakin heart seal.

2- Scarlet

VIVA LA REVOLUCION! Tragic you can only use her in one path. I romanced her in my very first playthrough to give stats to my Kana (and also because I knew it would be my only chance to really use her). She deserves so much better than to just be fridge stuffing to give Ryoma that manpain. Dammit Japan. At least she's got the coolest armor design.

HONORABLE MENTIONS TIME!

Azura: the fucking queen of Valla who carries the plot on her shoulders. literally the most important person in canon. deserves better.

Felicia: accidental badassery still counts, right? slap on a flame shuriken and watch heads roll.

Hana: best samurai. like lon'qu but actually with personality. rough and abrasive but has a heart of gold.

Beruka: cold blooded contract killer trying to learn how to feel. similar to Reina/Peri but she doesn't kill for fun, she kills to survive. she's just really good at it.

Lilith: f

Cassita: she bakes you cookies. SHE. BAKES. YOU. COOKIES. okay. when will your fave ever? except for camilla, she baked you cookies too, but camilla has crippling depression, mommy issues, a whole lotta weird borderline incest stuff going on (even though you're adopted so it's okay according to japan... oh, who am I kidding, I fucked leo to have dragon forrest and because FOLGERS COFFEE COMMERCIAL). anyway. cassita only knows that you're armed, dangerous, here to kill the king, and once knew her darling elise, but she shelters your entire fucking army and then BAKES. YOU. NICE HOT FRESH CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. bless her big beautiful heart. you can be badass without kicking someone's ass.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST

1- Oboro

fuck, man, she is just the best. best outfit, best stats, best combat ability, best class, and has a personality and hobbies and interests and likes and dislikes and flaws... I literally cried a little bit when I had to kill her in conquest. she is my favorite character in the whole game and she just kicks so much ass. I can't adequately put it into words, it's just... agh, she's great. 10/10

[feifheadcanons]

So there was an ask before about all the male butts in the army and your headcanons about them. Can you do the same for all the female butts?

F!Corrin: 7/10: A pretty average butt. Cute and soft. Jiggles cutely when smacked.

Azura:9/10: Small, but soft and round, an ideal pillow, and fun to pinch

Felicia10/10. Felicia is the pride of her village, in more ways that one. She has a really perky bubble butt and she’s aware of it and pretty embarrassed about it tbh.

Mozu: 9/10: Mozu’s butt is really round and squishy. It looks really good in underwear. She literally had Oboro design her a cute pair that look like a cow hide. 

Camilla:10/10. I mean, let’s be real. Is anyone surprised? It’s round, bouncy, almost hypnotic. Literally a perfect butt.

Elise:Protective Older Siblings and Retainers Sharpening Their Weapons/10

Peri:8/10: It’s a solid butt, and she has a cute sassy walk, but her hips actually do most of the work. It’s still cute, not a good pillow though.

Selena:9/10: Camilla teases her all the time about how precious her butt is. It’s soft and pillowy. One time, Laslow was teasing her about her cute her butt was and Selena was about to knock his block off when Camilla walked up. “Now, Laslow, that’s not nice.” “THANK you, Lady Camilla.” “You’re leaving out how well it retains handprints, Laslow!” Laslow has never laughed so hard in his life.

Beruka: 10/10: Definitely a dark horse no one expects. She’s always got her cloak on and it’s hard to notice, but it’s plump and round and feels great in your hands, to squeeze or smack. Only her spouse and Camilla know how cute it is.

Effie: 10/10: Another unsurprising one. With how much she works out, it’s toned beyond belief. Not necessarily a good pillow, but a spectacle to behold. Firm.

Nyx: N/A?

Charlotte:Surprise! Another 10/10. A lot like Camilla’s, if a little plusher and softer.

Flora:4/10. Poor girl, outshone by Felicia in more than just combat prowess. It’s pretty flat and has no definition and she struggles to find flattering clothes for it.

Anna:9/10: Fates!Anna has a perky bottom and isn’t afraid to show it off to make some money or just to show off in general. She’s pretty proud of it.

Hinoka:10/10: Super toned and tight. Feels really nice in your lap. If you’re looking for definition and firmness, look no further!

Sakura:Protective Astra and Rend Heaven Procs/10

Kagero:10/10: LIKE SO MANY TOP TIER BUTTS I KNOW BUT….Kagero might have the best in the entire army. It’s round and perky and and super bubbly and she’s the envy of many people in the army for it. Such as…

Hana:2/10: Poor girl. Objectively the worst butt in the army. No shape or definition, bad pillow, not at all well toned, very rigid. But she tries not to care too much since her arms are so powerful.

Setsuna:5/10: Pretty flabby, but still a nice pillow. It’s not very shapely, but Setsuna is probably the best cuddle buddy in the army because of her nonstop daydreaming and falling asleep randomly, that you can’t help but ignore it and just wanna snuggle her.

Oboro:8/10. An above average butt. Small, like Azura’s but easy to grab and fun to hold.

Reina: 7/10. A nice butt for sure. Not plump, but soft. In her own words, “It’d be a perfect 10 with some scars on it.”

Rinkah:8.5/10: Super firm and muscly! Could genuinely break your hand trying to smack it. All in all, a solid butt.

Orochi:10/10: Soft, plush bottom. Curvy and bouncy. And she’s fully aware of it. Since she loves making people flustered, it’s a good tool in her repertoire.

Scarlet: 7/10: An average butt in every way. A good baseline.

Sophie:9/10: All that horseback riding! She’s got her daddy’s wonderful butt. (This was mostly just a chance for me to say that Silas has a really nice butt omg). It’s a really cute and perky butt~

Rhajat: 8/10: The running gag is that she has the best legs in the army, but her tushy isn’t far off. She’s got a bubble butt for sure.

Caeldori:6/10 It’s not her strongest feature (that’s her perfect smile omg), but it’s not atrocious. It’s got potential! Squats would bring it up in no time.Nina: 9/10: She’s pretty proud of it. It’s a nice butt. Perky and small, but jiggly. All in all, a solid butt.

Soleil: 10/10. By far the perkiest putt in the entire army. Looks great in everything or nothing. Of course, her indelible smile is normally the first thing people notice though.

Ophelia: 10/10. A stellar butt. Round, and bubbly, and ripples a lot when smacked. A very soft and lush bottom.

[quibble-squibble]

Overall they’re not terrible, but due both to them being the only two options and the stereotype of promiscuous bisexuals (particularly concerning bi men) and prederatory wlw it’s not exactly the best look.

Like, if romance options were completely free range- marrying whoever you want no matter the gender- then yeah it would be completely fine since the representation pool is bigger.

Niles is a flirtatious man that’s a bit of a sadist with a sketchy nature about him which isn’t exactly great due to my previous mention of mlm stereotypes. Perhaps it would have been better if the option were Laslow, despite being flirtatious he’s clearly a goofy dork that’s pretty harmless off the battlefield. Another option would be Kaze. And who doesn’t like Kaze?

Or Silas. Silas is clearly into Corrin no matter the gender they are.

On Rhajat... listen I loved Tharja in fea but having your only wlw option in the game being a creepy stalker isn’t really all that great. Bi/lesbian women already have to deal with stereotypes that make them out to be creepy stalkers or psychos. And it really stands out since SOLEIL IS RIGHT THERE. I know Soleil also being a rampant flirt is A Thing but that’s less of an issue than Rhajat’s obsessive nature.

I know I can’t be the only one to bring this up but uh... Setsuna? Was clearly an easy choice for the wlw pairing? Actually ALL Hoshido women I could easily see as the wlw option so why Rhajat?

They could have been written better, toning down the character traits that play into problematic territories, but the issue could also be avoided altogether if there were more options or if it was free range romance options.

Fire Emblem romance options aren’t like Dragon Age, sexuality and romance doesn’t actually matter and it’s pretty much never mentioned so they could totally and realistically have sexuality not matter.

Considering I’ve been playing fe3h for the past week I can definitely say Fire Emblem games have gotten better (not only in the lgb romance options but also writing and poc rep). The wlw are better, of course, as the mlm options need more work, mostly on how there are five wlw options and only three mlm options. (Let Claude be bi you cowards)

But it’s still worth noting that these games come from Japan and they have different social norms than over here in the west. They’re still working through lgbt equality so it’s a bit unfair to judge them completely by western standards. They’re doing really well and I’m happy they’re making steps to be more inclusive in the first place!

Fire Emblem (Fates) people I need ur help!

Long story short this is for a speech im giving next week-

This is about Niles and Rhajat

Can you tell me

Are they a good bisexual representation? Why or why not?

Could they have been written better? Why or why not?

What could have been avoided if at all?

Do you believe that Fire Emblem has gotten better with their lgbt representation?

You can comment or send in via ask box

You can also answer these about Corrin and Soleil as well since I'm only wanting to focus on Fates for my assignment!
