Intro

The intro is a general, usually brief, paragraph describing general information about the character and their relevance to the plot, without any major spoilers. Things the intro should have, in general order it should be in:

Quote
A quote, usually that they say, describing the character without spoilers. Remember that certain characters, such as Alva of Thracia 776, do not have a single line in the game other than their death quote, so do not worry if you cannot find a good quote.
Name
The characters english name, or romanization, with their Japanese name with proper romanization. Additionally, some characters are known as different things in Japan, such as Marisa is Marica.
Game appearances
The games the character appears in or is referenced in.
Chapters
The chapter the character first appears in, is first playable in, or is a boss in.
Starting class
The class the character starts as.
Relationships
The relationships between them and other characters, such as family, enemies, friends, lovers, etc.
Home town
The town or country where the character is originally from, or is settled in at the start of the game.

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:

Role

In this section, describe the role of the character in the plot.

Starting stats and growth rates

For the starting stats, use the template linked to depending on the game.

Game Template
Ankoku Ryuu CharStats FE3
Gaiden CharStats FE2
Monshou no Nazo CharStats FE3
Seisen no Keifu CharStats FE4
Thracia 776 CharStats FE5
Fuuin no Tsurugi CharStats GBA
Blazing Sword CharStats GBA
The Sacred Stones CharStats GBA
Path of Radiance CharStats GCN
Radiant Dawn CharStats Wii
Shadow Dragon CharStats DS
Shin Monshou no Nazo CharStats DS
BS Fire Emblem To be added

Promotion gains

Use Template:PromotionGains.

Repeat these sections under different game headings if there are any more. A good example would be Hector.


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

For support conversations, use the template from the respective game, using the table below to choose the appropriate template. If the character only appears in Fire Emblem Gaiden, this section should be skipped.

Game Template
Monshou no Nazo SupportSysFE3
Seisen no Keifu SupportSysFE4
Thracia 776 SupportSysFE5
Fuuin no Tsurugi SupportSysGBA
Blazing Sword SupportSysGBA
The Sacred Stones SupportSysGBA
Path of Radiance SupportSysGCN
Radiant Dawn SupportBondFE10
Shadow Dragon SupportSysDS
Shin Monshou no Nazo SupportSysDS
BS Fire Emblem To be added

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/>.
