Profile
The Avatar was supposedly born to the Hoshidan royal family as the child of Mikoto and Hoshido's king Sumeragi. As a result, they are the younger half-sibling of Ryoma and Hinoka and the older half-sibling of Takumi and Sakura, who are instead Sumeragi's children with his first wife Ikona. They were kidnapped as a young child and raised by the royal family of the neighboring kingdom of Nohr, gaining new siblings in the form of Xander, Camilla, Leo, and Elise. Unlike previous protagonists, the Avatar in Fates has the ability to transform into a dragon, a similar trait to Manakete from past games of the series. They only gain the ability to transform after Chapter 5. As a member of royalty, the Avatar can wield the power of Dragon Veins, allowing them to alter the terrain of a map. They are also the chosen wielder of the legendary Yato.
A great war looms over Hoshido and Nohr and soon the two kingdoms meet on the battlefield. The Avatar must choose to side with one of the kingdoms and help with their respective causes or be neutral in an attempt to combat a larger threat by joining the two kingdoms together. The Avatar has the services of Silas, Gunter, and Kaze, as well as Felicia, Flora, Jakob, and Lilith. If the Avatar achieves an S-Support with any opposite gendered character, they will have a child named Kana, whose gender is the opposite of the Avatar's. The Male Avatar can also be the father of Shigure, while the Female Avatar can be the mother to all of the children characters aside from Shigure.
History
In actuality, the Avatar was born to Mikoto and the human manifestation of Anankos's benevolent soul in Valla. However, their happiness toward their child was short lived as the dragon form of Anankos began his rampage in Valla, forcing Anankos' human form to send his lover and child to safety. Eventually, Mikoto brought them to Hoshido where she eventually married the Hoshidan King, Sumeragi. The Avatar was officially adopted into the family, but the fact that they were not related to the Hoshido royal family by blood was kept a secret by Sumeragi, Mikoto, and Ryoma.
Despite the conflict between Hoshido and Nohr, the Nohrian King, Garon, wanted to parley with Sumeragi and the Avatar was brought at the suggestion of Garon. However, this parley was a trap and Sumeragi was killed defending the Avatar. The Avatar was kidnapped by Garon and raised in Nohr as a member of their royal family. The Avatar lost all memory of their life prior to their life now confined to the Northern Fortress.
For many years, the Avatar was raised in the Northern Fortress and was not allowed to leave it until Garon deemed them worthy. They were accompanied by their retainers and servants Flora, Felicia, and Jakob. Gunter, a veteran soldier, was also hired to serve as the Avatar's combat instructor and the two became close. The Nohrian Royal Siblings would also pay frequent visits to the castle with Xander in particular serving as the Avatar's main sparring partner. One day, a young boy Silas payed a visit to the Fortress. The two quickly became friends, however their time was cut short when Silas attempted to smuggle the Avatar out of the fortress to take them on a picnic. He was forbidden from returning and the Avatar never saw him again nor could they remember him. The Avatar also found an injured bird one day and nursed it back to health. Unbeknownst to them, this "bird" would become a very important person in their life very soon after.
Prologue
Many years later, the Avatar receives a premonition of a battle between Hoshido and Nohr in a dream, but they are awoken by Flora, Jakob, and Felicia. Before the Avatar can properly tell them the story, they are summoned by Xander for another combat test, where they finally succeed in impressing Garon enough to allow them to leave the Fortress. Garon summons them immediately to Castle Krakenburg in Windmire, Nohr's capital and gifts them the Ganglari as a present for succeeding in showing their worth. To test the Avatar's loyalty, he orders that they execute some recently captured Hoshidan soldiers. Among them are Kaze and Rinkah, both of whom they choose to spare. Though Garon demands that they are to be executed, the Avatar continues to refuse, however, Leo and Xander help the Avatar out by pretending to execute them in order to allow the Avatar to set them free later.
Upset by the Avatar's defiance, Garon gives them the task of surveying a fortress situated at the Bottomless Canyon. Xander warns the Avatar to be careful around Hans who was sent with them as Xander had once arrested him. At the Canyon, the Avatar sees that the fortress is occupied by Hoshidan soldiers and decides to head back to report. Unfortunately, Hans engages on the Hoshidan soldiers, forcing the Avatar and Gunter to fight them. After the battle, the Nohrian siblings, worried for the Avatar, check on them to find them still engaged with the Hoshido forces. When they are sent back to the Castle, Hans betrays the Avatar and attacks Gunter, plunging him into the canyon. Enraged, the Avatar shifts their arm into a dragon appendage, but before the can exact their vengeance, the Ganglari flings the Avatar into the Canyon. Suddenly, Lilith, the Avatar's stablehand appears, transforms into a dragon and rescues them by sending them to the Astral Realm, where she gives them a free space to rest in between battle from then on.
Immediately upon returning to the world, they are knocked out by Rinkah and brought to Hoshido. Escorted by Kaze back to Castle Shirasagi, they meet Ryoma, their long lost older brother and most importantly, Mikoto. Overjoyed to be reunited with her child, she embraces them, however, the Avatar's earlier childhood is a haze, preventing them from realizing that she really is their mother. Not wanting to pressure them, Mikoto tells them to take all the time they need. However, alarming news came from the northern area of Hoshido where Faceless, Nohrian monstrosities, were attacking a local village where the Avatar's two sisters, Hinoka and Sakura were helping. Together, the Avatar and Ryoma rescue the Hoshidan sisters who happily reunite with their long lost sibling. Later, the Avatar walks near a lake to gather their thoughts. Suddenly, a beautiful melody fills the air as they spot a blue-haired girl who introduces herself as Azura, a Nohrian princess who was kidnapped and raised in Hoshido in an inverse situation as the Avatar is. After spending a few days in Hoshido, they are still unable to recall any memories of their past. However, Mikoto still wishes to introduce them to the people of Hoshido.
At the castle town, just as Mikoto introduces the Avatar to the Hoshidan people, a hooded man appears and calls the Gangleri to him. Using the sword, he causes a large explosion, causing massive destruction to the town and the citizens there. Finally, using shards of the blade, he directs it towards the Avatar, only for Mikoto to intercept the attack. Mikoto merely asks if they are alright. As they affirm that they are fine, Mikoto expires in their arms. Her death causes the Avatar to spontaneously awaken their dragon blood, causing them to become a Feral Dragon. Devoid of their senses, the Avatar in grief, assaults the hooded man, but only manages to force him to retreat. Azura, using her special pendant and song, she is able to quell their rage, reverting them back to their human form. Although Takumi, the Avatar's younger brother, labels them the cause of the tragedy, Ryoma assures that the Avatar is innocent and that the Nohrian forces are responsible.
With the death of Mikoto, the barrier that once prevented hostile attacks from Nohr disappeared. Immediately the Nohrian forces lead by the Nohrian Royal Siblings head out to the Plains of Hoshido where they are intercepted by the Hoshidan army lead by the Hoshidan Royal Siblings. The Avatar realizes that their dream had come true and now, their siblings from both families are about to cross blades. Both families call out to the Avatar to join them. The Avatar is left with a huge decision to make; either return their Nohrian siblings on their conquest in Hoshido, join the Hoshido siblings to repel the Nohrian forces, or find another path by siding with neither.
Birthright
The Avatar decides to fight for Hoshido, refusing to follow the man who orchestrated the death of their own mother. Despite Xander's plea to have them return home to Nohr, the Avatar refuses and thus Xander resolves himself into attacking the Avatar and dragging them back to Nohr. After nearly succeeding, Ryoma steps in and the Hoshido army manages to repel the Nohrian forces. They are then labeled a traitor by Nohr.
Throughout the initial part of the story, the Avatar gathers the best of the Hoshidan forces and find Ryoma and Takumi who went missing. Eventually, Takumi returns to the army but is possessed by dark magic. Thanks to Azura the spell is lifted and the Hoshidan army decides to invade Nohr as it would be the best chance to end the war.
Arriving in Nohr, they wind up in Cyrkensia, a port town where, at a local Opera House, where King Garon was going to watch a performance. As luck would have it, the star of the show Layla wanted to visit her mother and Azura comes up with the idea to masquerade as her using Zola's magic. An idea was formed where they would ambush Garon and force him to surrender and end the war. Azura sings Lost in Thoughts All Alone, causing Garon some discomfort. Garon summons his forces, aware that the Hoshidans were inside and reveals that Zola had leaked information to him. The Avatar barely manages to escape from the trap and makes their way with the rest of their army to Cheve.
At Cheve, the Avatar stops to take a rest, only for Camilla and Hans to appear and another fight ensues. The Chevois quietly aid the Hoshidans with various items to help their cause. After the battle is over, the Avatar tries to reason with Camilla, almost managing to convince her until Leo shows up. Hans is revealed to have survived the battle. Before they are able to do anything, a General appears and attacks Leo. A strong rebel force led by Scarlet soon appear, Leo retreats with Hans, taking Camilla with him. The general reveals himself as Ryoma, and the Hoshidan siblings have reunited again. Scarlet takes the group to the resistance hideout, where the Nohrian army suddenly attacks. They make their way to the border wall and break through the defenses set there.
Due to the Nohrian blockade around the capital, the Avatar is forced to go through Mount Garou. There they encounter Keaton who, despite initial hostility, allows them to pass through. However, a magical land mine planted by Iago detonates, killing a Wolfskin and a fight ensues. At the end of the battle, the Avatar expresses regret fighting the Wolfskin people, but this though is dashed when the ground crumbles beneath them. As they fall, Kaze leaps in and grabs the Avatar, but the Avatar clings to Kaze's arm for dear life. Depending on the Avatar's support level with Kaze, a different scene unfolds.
- If the Avatar does not achieve an A Rank or higher with Kaze, Kaze sacrifices himself by throwing the Avatar to Hinoka as the ground beneath him crumbles and he falls into the chasm. The Avatar grieves for his death but knows that they have to move on.
- If the Avatar has achieved an A or S Rank with Kaze, he notices a magic land mine and throws a Shuriken at it. The explosion throws both the Avatar and Kaze out of the cliff to safety. Grateful for Kaze's rescue, their bond is fortified and the Hoshidan army moves on.
Shortly after leaving Mount Garou, Takumi has a critical fever and the Avatar decides to go search a Nohrian stronghold for medicine. They encounter Flora who offers to find the medicine they need. However, Iago makes an appearance to take down the Avatar. After repelling Iago and his forces, they successfully find the medicine and Takumi is cured. Needing a place to rest, Flora suggests that they stay at the Ice Tribe Village and both the Avatar and Felicia are delighted by the idea. At the village, Flora leaves for a short time and returns with Nohrian soldiers. Hurt by her betrayal, the army defeats Flora and the Avatar questions why she attacked them. Flora explains that King Garon forced her to, lest she be killed by him. Unable to cope with her cowardice, Flora sets herself ablaze and dies, much to the shock of the Avatar, Felicia, and Jakob.
Later on, the Avatar passes through the Woods of the Forlorn, where they meet Leo again, who renounces his familial love for them and fights them. Despite his retainers and the Faceless horde, he is defeated and the Avatar cannot bring themselves to hurt him, and Leo is unable to bring himself to hurt them either. He apologizes for his actions and gives them a round-trip warp tome to Notre Sagesse in exchange for a crystal ball Azura gives him.
During their stay at Notre Sagesse, the Avatar flags down an old man, who directs them to the Sevenfold Sanctuary, where the Hoshidans face off against the shades of those that died there. After defeating the enemy, the group walks into the door and finds them back at town. The old man reveals himself as the Rainbow Sage they are looking for, and prepares the Seal of Flames ritual, giving them the Noble Yato. After using Leo's warp tome to take them back into the Woods of the Forlorn, they head north towards Fort Dragonfall but are ambushed by Iago again. They escape the fortress and head out to sea. At sea, the Hoshidan siblings are notified of the battlefront at home and take a rumored shortcut through the Demon's Falls to reach the Nohrian capital of Windmire faster.
When they reach Windmire, they are ambushed by Shura's gang, who demands the Avatar's Yato to be spared. After a battle, Shura swears loyalty to Ryoma after hearing of his royal status. Shura shows the group the underground life of Nohr and on the way, bump into Elise, who was selling flowers. Elise takes the group into a small house where her wetmother, Cassita, gives some information about Garon and two queens; Arete and Katerina. While on the way to castle Krakenburg's throne room, they are ambushed by Camilla after Elise's retainers thought they had kidnapped her. They manage to beat her in combat and reexplain the situation to her before proceeding.
After exiting the secret tunnel, the Hoshidans find themselves in the middle of a training ground led by Hans. Han's soldiers are unable to defeat the Hoshidans, so Hans personally takes over, overwhelming the Avatar. Before Hans can land the killing blow, Lilith sacrifices herself. The Avatar, in a fit of rage, kills Hans after a short battle. Lilith talks with the Avatar one last time before dying, sending them into tears. However, Ryoma tells them that they cannot give up now, as they are getting closer and that she sacrificed herself to help their cause, giving new hope to the Avatar.
After passing through the Great Staircase in Castle Krakenburg, the Avatar faces off against Xander alone. Elise, hating the idea of seeing her two dear siblings fight intervenes, taking Xander's finishing blow in the Avatar's stead. In her final breaths, Elise pleads with Xander to seek a more peaceful end to their fight. Both the Avatar and Xander grieve for their fallen sisters but Xander insists on finishing the duel. Heartbroken by their sister's death and their brother's seemingly uncaring feelings towards it, the Avatar resolves to end the duel. Though they finally strike him down, they know that Xander was holding back and allowed them to do so. With his final breaths, he tells the Avatar to stop King Garon as it will be the only way to bring true peace to the world.
In the throne room, the Avatar attacks Garon for his actions in the war. They later obtain the Blazing Yato and beat Garon, but he still survives and transforms into the Dusk Dragon of Nohr. The Avatar protects Ryoma and Takumi from being killed but fall into a near-death state. Inside their mind, they meet Flora, Lilith, Xander, and Elise again and quickly realize this is just a dream. The four convince the Avatar to take arms again and fight for their allies, and after a gruesome battle, Garon is defeated. Garon returns to his human form, regaining his memories again before disappearing. The Avatar wonders if what Xander said was true, with Garon being "controlled" by someone else. The Avatar then mourns Azura's death as she had to use her full power on the dragon, which was too much for her, but promises to make the future better for everyone.
At the end of the route, if the female Avatar marries Ryoma, she will rule alongside him as the new queen of Hoshido.
Conquest
Much to the shock of the Hoshidan royal siblings, the Avatar decides to fight for Nohr. Despite their pleas to have them reevaluate the situation based on the tragedy that had just occurred to their mother and the innocent Hoshidan people, the Avatar remains steadfast in their decision as they have unanswered questions that they need to confront King Garon directly. The Avatar and the Nohrian army repels the Hoshidan siblings and their army.
After returning to Nohr, Garon is angered by their surprising return to Nohr, despite the atrocities that had occurred in Hoshido. The Avatar feigns loyalty to Nohr and Garon decides to send the Avatar to quell an impending rebellion by the Ice Tribe by themselves. Fortunately, Xander overhead why Garon sent them alone and sent Elise, her retainers and Silas to accompany them to the Ice Tribe. When they arrive, they are treated nicely after Kilma, the leader of the Ice Tribe, recognizes Yato. However, he and his tribesmen fight them after knowing the real reason to why they were here, but the Avatar and their allies defeat them. Kilma wonders why he is being spared before the Avatar lets him know, and after hearing the Avatar's words, believes them, stopping the rebellion.
When the Avatar returns, Garon is pleased with their progress, though he quickly becomes angered when Iago reveals that they had assistance. Garon threatens to kill them for disobeying his orders, though he relents when Xander and Elise reveal that they were the ones who assisted them. Garon later sends the Avatar to capture Notre Sagesse.
On the way, they rescue Azura from a group of Hoshidans at Fort Dragonfall. They later arrive at Notre Sagesse where they encounter stiff Hoshidan resistance both in the town and in the Sevenfold Sanctuary but manage to rout them. The Rainbow Sage gives the Avatar the Grim Yato before he commits suicide due to his long age and potential powers if the Hoshidans captured him again.
The group eventually reaches Cheve, where another battle occurs between the Nohrians and the combined Hoshidan and Chevois forces. The Nohrians come out victorious and the army has spared the lives of the enemy soldiers. The Avatar suddenly hears screaming and it is shown that after the battle, Hans and his men have barged in and started to kill everyone. The Avatar asks Hans to stop this madness, but Hans simply replies that Garon has ordered him to do so. The Avatar then reflects on the bloodshed with Camilla and how she is so calm with all the unnecessary violence occurring. She replies to bury all their feelings deep within their heart and continue as if nothing had happened.
The Avatar eventually meets up with Garon at the Opera House and meets Leo again. During the performance, a songstress appears and causes pain to Garon. Iago and his soldiers attempt to apprehend the songstress, but she has already disappeared before they are able to do anything. Hoshidan assassins led by Kumagera then attack in a bid to end Garon's life to stop the war. The assassination attempt is repelled, and after the battle, Garon orders all the songstresses killed. The Avatar questions this order, angering Garon, though Leo quickly covers them. Away from Garon, Leo asks the Avatar if they have a death wish, and gives them the same response as Camilla. He does reveal that they have done acts of good though, as they have always tried to find a way around his orders if possible.
Unable to cope with the violence, the Avatar finds Azura acting suspiciously and follows her into an unknown land. Mysterious soldiers appear and attack, but Gunter arrives and protects them. The three fight their way through and manage to escape.
Azura later tells the Avatar that Garon is corrupted by a presence and that her dance was used in an attempt to remove the presence, but failed. She tells them that the only way to expose him is by having him sit on the Hoshidan throne, which would mean they would have to support an invasion of Hoshidan. The Avatar reluctantly accepts and makes their way through Hoshidan lands, eventually reaching Castle Shirasagi. After several sacrifices, they enter the throne room to see Garon is actually a water monster. With the help of their siblings, they eventually kill him in battle, but a brainwashed Takumi appears and attacks them. The Avatar falls into a near-death state where they return to the real world with the help of Mikoto and their deceased Hoshidan siblings.
After defeating the Anankos-possessed Takumi, Xander and the Avatar wonder what may have possessed Takumi and Garon but are unable to come up with any conclusions. They soon leave to tell the other soldiers that the war is over and search for the now-missing Azura, with the Avatar wondering if they may never see her again. Along with the remaining Hoshidan siblings and their Nohrian family, they attend Xander's coronation as the new king of Nohr.
If the female Avatar marries Xander, she will rule alongside him as the new queen of Nohr.
Revelation
Unwilling to fight against either side, the Avatar chooses to side with neither in hopes of getting Xander and Ryoma to talk. Believing that the Avatar was manipulated by the other side, Xander and Ryoma engage in battle.
Needing a way to draw their attention, the Avatar, Azura, and Felicia/Jakob decide to take down to frontline commanders of both armies and succeeds. Unfortunately, both Xander and Ryoma see this as an act of treason and brands the Avatar and Azura as traitors. With both armies after them, Azura takes them to the Bottomless Canyon and tells them to jump with her into it. After jumping in, they land in an unknown land that Azura introduces as Valla, a mysterious third kingdom that has been orchestrating the war between Nohr and Hoshido following its takeover by Anankos. To ensure that no one can know of this, a curse was placed so that anyone who discusses Valla outside of the kingdom will be killed. With the true villain of the war now made aware to the Avatar, they decide to return to the surface in hopes of combining the Nohrian and Hoshido armies in order to combat this threat.
After a series of battles, the Avatar manages to convince both the Hoshido and Nohr armies into joining their cause. The Hoshidans join them after seeing their honest personality and the Nohrians joining after King Garon becomes unstable and a threat to the kingdom itself. With the Avatar as the uniter of the armies, they lead the army into the Bottomless Canyon where, during the descent, Scarlet is killed by an unknown assailant. After a skirmish, though the Avatar has to break the news of Scarlet's death, the Avatar and Azura are now able to properly explain the true villain to both armies, the King of Valla, Anankos.
On the way to confront Anankos, the Avatar faces several of his resurrected soldiers, including Scarlet, Azura's mother Arete, Mikoto, and Sumeragi. Before Mikoto disappears following her defeat, she reveals that she was born in Valla, that Arete is her sister, and that the Avatar is Vallite royalty. The Avatar is shocked, but they strengthen their resolve to defeat Anankos.
Once the army reaches the Vallite throne room, it is revealed that Gunter is Scarlet's killer and that he was possessed by Anankos for the entire campaign. After Gunter is defeated and freed of Anankos's influence, Anankos himself appears to fight the army. The Avatar's sword is upgraded into the Omega Yato through their brothers' legendary weapons and, following long battle against the degenerated dragon, Anankos is slain and peace is restored to the world. Hoshido, now led by Ryona, and Nohr, now lead by Xander, make a pact of peace between the previously feuding kingdoms. Azura decides to relinquish the throne to the Avatar, stating that it was there because of their efforts and leadership that Anankos was slain. In addition, both Ryoma and Xander cede some of their lands to Valla to help form the new kingdom.
In the case of a male Avatar marrying Niles or a female Avatar marrying Rhajat, the couple eventually adopts two children who will eventually succeed the Vallite throne.
The Avatar never learns that Anankos is their birth father, nor do they learn that Lilith is their 'sister' due to separate vows of secrecy that Lilith and Mikoto made with Anankos's heart.
Personality
The Avatar is a kind person who cares deeply for the people they love and will come to the aid of anyone who should ask them for it, rapid-firing apologies if they do something to upset others, likely inherited this habit from their father. Despite having been sheltered throughout all of their childhood, they are quite social and conversational, as well as persuasive to the point of convincing some enemy soldiers to join their cause. Aside from being unusually charismatic and attracting people to them, the Avatar is also mentioned to have a way with animals, as it is said the horses in the stables like them. As they spent the majority of their time growing up within the walls of Northern Fortress, the Avatar is very curious about the outside world and quite eager to come across new sights. As proven by their support conversations with Silas, however, this trait of theirs has somewhat diminished over time.
As noted by many characters throughout the series, the Avatar is quick to trust individuals including Zola in Birthright and Anthony in Revelation, both of which were tasked with killing them by Garon and Anankos respectively, and the shady situations about them. However, both Ryoma and Xander have stated that this trusting nature is what makes the Avatar so trustworthy themselves, and why so many people place their faith in them. According to Ryoma in Revelation, even when they were young, the Avatar displayed an honest and kind mindset, which he described as the traits of a ruler. However, Xander states in Revelation that their naive persona is also their greatest weakness due to the possibility of being manipulated or lured into grave danger, but if not for this trait he nor anyone else would be able to follow them on this path.
While their charisma makes them an excellent leader in skirmishes and the male Avatar's support with Shiro show he's good at discerning an immediate opponent's strengths and weaknesses, both genders lack the vision to handle large-scale battles. Their supports with Leo showcase the Avatar being upset at their inability to command large forces while Leo is upset as his inability to command small ones.
The Avatar has shown strong familial attachments to both the Nohrian and Hoshidan royal siblings, as they are reluctant to fight against either one in their respective routes. When Takumi in Conquest and Leo in Birthright try to kill the Avatar under the pretext of them being a traitor to their home nations, the Avatar always tries to stop them from fighting and spares their lives if possible. Even in Revelation, where the Avatar refuses to side with either country, they cannot bear to see their families go to war with one another. They also form a close relationship with Azura regardless of route, due to their similar backgrounds and because the Avatar can be open with her about their feelings regarding obeying Garon (in Conquest) and knowing about Valla (in Revelation).
The Avatar has shown a wide variety of talents. Kaze's Private Quarter invite quote reveals that they are a great piano player. Some supports notes that they enjoy writing poetry and reading about philosophy. However, they have trouble cooking as they manage to burn tea in their support with Jakob and barely manages to bake palatable cookies with Dwyer.
Their personality varies slightly by gender; the male is more laid-back and sweet, while the female is peppier and more teasing.
The Avatar is also shown to be a very loving and protective parent, shown when they achieve an S-Support with an opposite-sex character. When Kana is attacked by Invaders, they display nothing but righteous fury, stating that they will stain the fields of the Deeprealm with the Invaders' blood in retaliation for trying to harm Kana.
The Avatar also displays three distinct traits in Birthright, Conquest, and Revelation:
Birthright
As a result of Mikoto's murder, they display aggression towards Nohr, though they dislike the idea of having to fight their former Nohrian siblings. As many unavoidable deaths occur during this route, the Avatar grows increasingly hostile towards King Garon, Hans, and Iago for their disregard for human lives. However, they do their best to minimize casualties on the Nohrian front, only killing when necessary as they spared Zola simply because it is what Mikoto would have done and kept him alive due to the usefulness they could have from him in their onslaught of Nohr.
Conquest
The Avatar is unwilling to take the lives of Hoshidans, even displaying regret in choosing their Nohrian siblings over their blood family, even though they don't agree with Garon's ways. As the route progresses, they are forced to watch as many atrocities occur to the innocent Hoshidans while they are unable to save them, lest they receive Garon's wrath. This results in them trying to change Nohr and to end the war as quickly as possible. They also refrain from taking the lives of Hoshidans as much as possible, resolving to end the war in their own way, a trait that earns Kaze's loyalty. In their supports with Azura in Conquest, the Avatar also suffers from nightmares from having killed Hoshidans when they have presented no choice in the matter.
Revelation
Unwilling to fight against either side, the Avatar chooses to side with neither in hopes of getting Xander and Ryoma to talk. Believing that the Avatar was manipulated by the other side, Xander and Ryoma engage in battle.
Needing a way to draw their attention, the Avatar, Azura, and Felicia/Jakob decide to take down to frontline commanders of both armies and succeeds.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U
Corrin's main weapon is their signature sword, the Yato, in its Omega form. Corrin's unique trait revolves around their ability to shift parts of their bodies into their dragon forms as a reference to the attack animations of the Dragon Fang skill. Several of their standard moves are also references to various attacks in the Nohr Prince/Princess class such as their animation for Luna being their dash attack. For some of their smash attacks and their side special, they transform their arms into spear-like appendages, dealing extra damage if they strike an opponent with the tip of the spear. Their forward smash is unique as they can deal damage to opponents directly in front of them as they charge it since they hold the Yato blade slightly in front of them, allowing the rotating blades to strike an enemy.
Special Moveset
- Regular Special: Dragon Fang Shot: Corrin charges a projectile attack from their transformed hand, but cannot be stockpiled. Enemies hit by this projectile are temporarily paralyzed. Corrin's hand also transforms during this move, biting any enemies within 1 character length of Corrin after launching this move. The projectile is larger and travels farther and the bite is also stronger and has higher knockback the longer this move is charged.
- Side Special: Dragon Lunge: Corrin performs a short hop if used on the ground. If Corrin uses Dragon Lunge during this move or while in the air, they will transform their arm into a lance and stab in a downward diagonal angle away from Corrin. If the stab connects with terrain including the floor, walls, or even crates and barrels, Corrin will temporarily suspend themselves in the air. If an enemy is hit during the terrain stab, they will be temporarily pinned. From their suspended position, Corrin can either perform a forward or reverse kick if the player pushes their control stick forward or backward respectively, jump by pressing up or cancel by pressing nothing. Like all of Corrin's lance moves, Corrin will deal more damage if the enemy is struck by the tip of their lance.
- Up Special: Dragon Ascent: Corrin sprouts their wings and launches themselves vertically. The move has a wide attack range and will carry any enemies makes contact with the move upward with them. Corrin's flight path using this move can be altered before the move is executed. With no input, the upward momentum is slightly higher than their standard jump. Pressing towards the direction they are facing will give the move more speed and horizontal movement at a slight cost of some vertical height. Pressing the opposite direction they are facing doubles the vertical height with no horizontal movement.
- Down Special: Counter Surge: Corrin transforms into their dragon form and counters an incoming attack by stomping on the ground, causing a small surge of water to erupt underneath them, dealing a minimum of 10% damage with a multiplier of x1.2 (originally x1.3 from patch 1.1.4). However, the knockback of this move launches the enemy vertically, rather than horizontally like the rest of the Fire Emblem cast. It also hits on both sides, making it capable of hitting multiple opponents at once. Another unique property is that the counter is that Corrin evades the attack when performing it, meaning that attacks can go through the counter, hitting other opponents behind them before receiving the counter damage.
- Final Smash: Torrential Roar: Corrin stabs the ground, causing a current a third the distance of Final Destination around them to erupt with a burst of water, dealing 5% damage to all those who are hit by the move. Corrin then transforms into their dragon form and unleashes a huge torrent of water from their mouth, dealing 35% damage.

- In male Kana's Support Conversation with Rhajat, Kana tells Rhajat that Corrin makes him brush his teeth all the time, and although she is very nice, she isn't nice when it's time for Kana to go to bed.
- In Super Smash Bros., Corrin uses the Omega Yato for their signature weapon.
- Some of the script for Fire Emblem Fates is different depending on the gender that is chosen for the Avatar.
- If the player chooses female for their Avatar, they will go frolicking in the woods and look for pretty flowers with Kana (male), who will also sing a song called "Mama Time".
- If the player chooses male for their Avatar, Kana (female) will not want to do any of those things with their father, instead, they will track down a wedding ring to give to them when it's the day of the wedding for whoever they choose to marry.
- Strangely, the female Avatar can marry Rhajat, who is also a female, suggesting that female Corrin may be bisexual.
- Additionally, if they do marry Rhajat, male Kana cannot be recruited.
- In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Corrin isn't the only playable character that has a selective gender. The other characters are the Inkling and Robin.
- For their character path in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, in the second-last level of their Classic Mode path, the player will have to fight the opposite gender Corrin depending on which gender they want to play as. On the boss battle level, the player will have to fight both Master Hand and Crazy Hand alongside the opposite Corrin.
