IC INFORMATION


CHARACTER NAME: Byleth Eisner
CANON: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
SIGN: The Devil
FACTION: Thorne

CHARACTER INFORMATION: 21 26 or 21 maybe who knows, secretly engaged, and just co-led a revolution to destroy a corrupt Church, AMA.

Okay no but for real. Byleth is the viewpoint character of Three Houses, and a subject of experimentation as a baby that left her... odd, for most of her life. She ended up acting as a child soldier in her father's mercenary band while they tried to avoid the notice of the Church, and then was all but forced to become a professor at the Church's military academy when they found her. She's very good at violence, tactics, and strategy, and enjoys training, but honestly leave her to her own devices and she's just as likely to garden, cook, clean, or fish. She just wants to be, like, an Animal Crossing villager or something.

She spent most of her formative years as a child soldier in her father's mercenary band while they tried to hide from the Church. When the Church found them, she was all but forced to become an instructor at their military academy for Totally Legitimate And Not Sketchy Reasons.

Then she helped start a war to bring it all down. She's an odd one, quiet most of the time but intense and perceptive. Intensely caring, but fiercely protective and nowhere near as passive as her usual demeanor would suggest.

She's fairly fresh off of the end of the Crimson Flower route, and secretly engaged to Edelgard, the Emperor she serves under. In public, they'll be hiding their relationship to avoid it being used as leverage. Thorne is going to immediately set off a lot of red flags for her, and she's already looking for ways to undercut them.
CR YOU WANT: Oh bring on everything.
-Peers and friends! Byleth has tended to be placed in mentor and leadership roles, and even in canon just doesn't have many connections where they're on an even playing field or they aren't deferring to her in most ways.
- Enemies, obv.
-Training/drinking partners.
-Soldier/mercenary/hunter types, or your classic Human Experiment/Vessel characters.
- Watch out she gets very protective of the people she ends up caring about. Byleth stumbles into mom-ing/big sistering at people like it's her job.
-Contacts and spies. Byleth is more a soldier than a spy, so while she's doing her share of clandestine subversive activity in Thorne, she'd be better suited to connecting with other people who have the knack. Connections with people in the Free Cities or Solvunn whose interests align would be fantastic.
- People who just appreciate the quiet things. Gardening! Cooking! Fishing! A nice cup of tea! Someone please try her baking Edelgard can't eat all of it.

CR YOU DON'T WANT: Romance or sex is pretty much off the table; she's very spoken for even if she'll be evasive about it.
PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
- As said, she's gonna be partnering with Edelgard to sabotage Thorne from the inside and try to prevent interference with the Singularity, and there will almost definitely be a masked identity of her own to go with Edelgard's as they do their cloak and dagger supervillain shit. Say hi to the Ashen Knight.
- Magical research! Byleth is more of a swordsman than she is a mage, but she has some arcane ability under her belt. She'll be mooore than curious about magic in this world and others, especially as the narrative around one form of magic is so slanted in her world.
- She's not personally very suited to politics, but she's likely to follow Edelgard's lead and act as her escort for most official Thorne stuff. The General has to back up her Emperor, after all.
- She has an almost childlike curiosity and fascination with... basically everything? So she'll be nerding it up a lot trying to learn everything useful about this world she can, and doing a lot of exploration.
- She'll be throwing herself pretty deep into mercenary work, so if anyone needs something done or a bit of extra muscle or protection, let's talk.
