Best Fire Emblem: Awakening Characters
Fire Emblem: Awakening has a pretty large cast of characters. But which are the best?This is about personality, not how good the characters are in battle. It might be who you think is funniest, cutest, whatever. This isn't about skills and stats though.
Playable characters and NPCs are fine
Lucina is one of the main characters in Fire Emblem Awakening, as well as a fighter in Super Smash Bros. Her most notable feature is her love for her father. As soon as I got her, I basically sent my character trampling over her in every battle to build support and marry her, lmao. That being said, she's a very, very well-done character. I don't even think there's a negative thing I can say.
Her relationship with Robin, if you choose to go down that path, is, in my opinion, the best in the game. Her cutscenes in Chapter 21 with a married Robin are heartbreaking. I wouldn't mind her popping up as a fully playable protagonist in another FE game somewhere down the line.
Henry should be #1. He was the one who convinced me to get this game, believe it or not. As I went to the Fire Emblem Wiki to read up on the characters, I saw Henry's page, read his quote, and fell in love. He also became my Awakening husband. He's so cute, I don't know why he's only number 8. Gregor, say goodbye to your number 1 spot - Henry should be there. He has a backstory, unlike most of these characters, and he's just insanely cute! So please, people, vote for Henry!

"Have some death!"
"I'm gonna kill you!"
"Hahaa!"
"Special delivery!"
But most importantly:
"Well, usually I disarm foes by removing their arms. But your way sounds impressive, too!"
He's swift as wind, strong as steel, and phased by absolutely nothing - well, except women. But overall, he's an overpowering character who uses strength and speed to his advantage.
Lon'qu should be number five. He is so darn fast, like a cheetah.
Paired him up with Tharja. Made me laugh... a lot...
I love Gregor's quote if the avatar chooses to sacrifice their life: Oy! You no go! Not until Gregory drink you under table!
I love the mighty Gregor's personality! He can be funny but knows how to be serious!
Can you control your sword hand long enough to vote for Owain?
Who doesn't love him? He's a goofball.
The friend of Olivia who also happens to share the same pink hair and is the mother of Gerome.
Love her! I got her married to my unit, and it's so perfect. My favorite female in Nintendo.
Kind, but not soft, as especially shown in her supports. I also love her artwork so much.
People all complain about how she looks like a kid and stuff. Personally, I think she is very cute! Besides, she has a really cool and cute critical quote:
"GR... RAGE!"
My god, Nowi is so adorable and likable! I married her in my first run through the game.
I think she is the most interesting, hilarious, and attractive character in Fire Emblem Awakening. I don't know why, but in Awakening, the dark mages were my favorites.
Pretty underrated, I think. This is Nintendo's yandere character.
The Newcomers
Robin is a really good character and actually has some depth, not just a static personality as many expected. Usually, I hate self-insert characters, but Robin is quite the exception. They have their own personality and aren't as much of a Gary Stu/Mary Sue as some might say. Robin's affinity within the Shepherds is well-deserved and reciprocated. Robin is the team's Jack of All Trades, Master of None character, which keeps them useful within the group and talented without being "The Perfect One" - that is Cordelia's role.
Still, looking at this list, Robin is quite underrated. Even though the Smash Bros. fiasco back when Sm4sh was still new - when virtually no one knew how to play Robin, and first impressions are often the most important - their reputation fell a little because of the odd playstyle. However, Robin has long since redeemed themselves and has become a fan favorite in both Smash Bros. and the Fire Emblem community, respected by both new and veteran players alike.
Very useful in battle due to her high speed. She is cute and has a lovable personality. I just wish people would stop talking about the Chrom shipping wars.
Mother of Cynthia.
Although she still uses flower fortunes, she now uses them wisely. The father of Cynthia is Frederick.
A really cute flirt, he tries to make others happy even during a war. He's too pure and must be protected at all costs.
Mother of Inigo and an extremely shy girl. The father of Inigo is Henry. Olivia is a dancer who likes to dance but not in front of others.
She just wants to be friends with everyone. Even her relationship with Robin displays a lot of childishness that might grow into maturity in the future.
Must be protected at all costs.
When she gets angry, she'll yell at you. But who should you pair her with? My opinion: might as well be Laurent.
He's actually an awesome character. It's too bad all anyone thinks about him these days is how he's not playable in Smash and that dumb trailer announcing who got in instead.
Maybe now that he's actually playable in the newest Smash Bros, he'll finally get more respect.
Tiki should be number 1. She is literally my most powerful character (rating of 323) and my favorite in the game. She doesn't need any skills because, first of all, she has good range, and she is also a deadly wyvern killer with extremely high strength. Most of all, her defense and resistance are so ridiculous that even Grima can hardly damage her, and he has worse defense and resistance. Tiki is the Arceus of Fire Emblem Awakening.
The partner of Nowi and the Divine Dragon sent by Naga.
Tiki is just a well-made character in general. #2, please!
Cynthia is always a joy to see because of her try-hard attitude and her clumsiness in supports and whatnot!
Daughter of Frederick and Sumia, a loud and cheerful girl. She's the girlfriend of Male Morgan and Severa.
Why is Stahl #35? He's so adorable and sweet! I love him as a character. I would have married him if I didn't accidentally marry Chrom...
He has the saddest backstory and the most relatable personality in the game. Deserves to be number one.
Gaius should be much higher. He is funny, cute, and a good character overall! He makes a really good assassin if you use a Master Seal, and his lock-picking ability is very useful. He is much better than Gregor, in my opinion. Yes, Gaius can be a little greedy, but he has a good heart. Just look at his support with Maribelle for proof. Gregor is much greedier, rather stupid, and the less said about his performance on the battlefield, the better.
This is only my silly personal opinion, though, so it's okay if you don't agree. My only point is that I love Gaius!
I don't know what it is about her, but I think Flavia's design is super cool. She's my personal favorite female character in the game. The only reason she was lower than Nowi on the original list is because she can't marry Basilio.
