Trivia

Kris's unused portrait

• Kris is one of only two characters to have an item named for them in Awakening - in this case, Kris's Confect, using Kris's default name - who does not themself appear as a SpotPass or DLC character. The other character in this situation is Orsin.
  • However, portraits of the male Kris do feature in the game's data alongside those of the various other SpotPass characters featured in Awakening (albeit without the brown background shared by the other portraits), possibly suggesting that he was planned to be featured, but was dropped for yet unknown reasons.
• Kris is, thus far, the only avatar to date who does not share any of their default names in any language with a character from Fire Emblem Gaiden.
