- Quote
- Name, English name with Japanese name and Romanization, such as Marisa is Marica
- Game appearances
- First chapter they appear in/chapter(s) they join in
- Starting class
- Relationships with other characters

Example
“ | The breeze, the trees, the sky, the brooks... They are all speaking to us. | ” | — Sue to Roy in a support conversation. |
---|
Sue (スー, Suu) is a character in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. She first appears in Chapter 6.
A Sacaean nomadic girl, Sue is a member of the Kutolah tribe and granddaughter of their leader, Dayan, also known as the Silver Wolf. She is also the daughter of Rath, a playable character from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. While her mother's name is unknown, there is the possibility of Lyn being the other parent, as suggested by her shared ending with Rath.
General information
The next heading will be the name of the game they appear in. If there are multiple, cover all of them in order of the games release date. All games will have the following subsections:

Personality and character
This section is two to three paragraphs and usually takes the longest. In the first paragraph, describe the character's personality. Not just in a few sentences, but try to describe every aspect of their personality that is mentioned. Use the support conversations for this information.
In the second to third paragraphs, describe how they are related to other characters. Then, describe any stories about their history, if there are any. If there is a lot of information, this section might take three paragraphs in total.
Also, references are required. At least five should be used if they are a playable character, with less being acceptable for NPCs. Yes, even characters like Aran need five references and at least two paragraphs.
Support conversations
Use Template:SupportSysGBA.
Endings
List the character's endings, both regular and paired endings.
Etymology
The meaning of the name. A reference should be used, preferably from ThinkBabyNames.com. After the reference, the relationship to the character's role or personality should be stated. If there are mythological ties to it, they should be listed after the meaning.
Other stuff
A few other things are optional. Other appearances should be a header if the character appeared in Melee, Brawl, or another non-canonical thing. The game should be one header down from the other appearances header. Trivia and gallery sections can also be added if there is something in either.
References
This is to list all the references used in the article. Every article needs at least one for the etymology. All that goes here is <references/>.
