After the Battle
Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon, Teen, Mentioned Child Death
Every victory comes with a cost, but what should you do when that cost becomes an impossibly heavy weight to bear? Do you press on, desperate to make sure that the price you've paid doesn't amount to nothing? Or do you stop your march forwards, desperate to prevent any further losses?

Retainer
Fire Emblem Tellius, Teen, Giffghis
Before calling him his shadow, Caineghis used to call Giffca his retainer.
Canon Madlibs: Kishuna
Fire Emblem 7
Kishuna gets very little characterization by virtue of being completely mute. On the other hand, I am extremely unwell and find this to be a very attractive trait.
On Matters of Gallian Succession and Cat Powerlevels

Gallia has the strongest become king. On paper, at least.
