“	I'm Manuela. I'm a professor, a physician, a songstress, and available. It's nice to meet you.	”	— Manuela

Biography

In 1158, Manuela became a member of the Mittlefrank Opera Company in Adrestia, eventually archieving stardom after many sacrifices, unsavory acts and efforts three years later, becoming known as the "Divine Songstress" in the imperial capital. In 1171, she met and inspired Dorothea, who decided to follow her steps. In 1174, she eventually left the Opera and became a professor and doctor at the Officers Academy.

In 1180, Manuela is stabbed non-fatally by the Death Knight while looking for Flayn's whereabouts on Jeritza's office, where Byleth and their class eventually find her. Manuela also participates on the first mock battle between the three houses, but refrains from participating in the Battle of the Eagle and Lion as a result of her previous skirmish with the Death Knight leaving her weakened; this pushes her rival Hanneman to excuse himself from the battle as well.

If Manuela was recruited during Part I, after the timeskip she returns to Garreg Mach Monastery on the day of the millennium festival and accompanies Byleth and their chosen faction throughout the war. Should Manuela not be recruited on the Azure Moon route, she will join the Adrestian Empire and become one of the imperial commanders guarding Arianrhod in Faerghus; she can be either circumvented or slain at the player's discretion.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Role

Manuela is a recruitable playable character on all routes, an NPC unit in Chapter 12 and an enemy on the paralogue The Silver Maiden should she not be recruited in Part I.

Endings

Manuela, Divine Songstress
Manuela left Garreg Mach to build her own academy in a small, war-torn town. There, she contributed heavily to rebuilding efforts while teaching future generations the necessary skills of survival. Though she never married or had children of her own, she spent the last years of her life happily devoted to her students.

Edelgard, Flame Emperor & Manuela, Divine Songstress
As the new Adrestian emperor, Edelgard gave all she had to breathe new life into the government of Fódlan. Her first objective was to institute new class reforms and ensure the people's independence. For that reason, she sought the counsel of Manuela, whose vast array of contacts, talents, and experience proved invaluable. She became essential to Edelgard, and her skill as a physician kept the emperor in good health for many years. Both remained unmarried, and it is said that the two became extremely close over the years.

Dorothea, Mystical Songstress & Manuela, Divine Songstress
The Mittelfrank Opera Company was on the brink of collapse until two of its star songstresses, Manuela and Dorothea, returned to the stage and brought the troupe new life and prominence. They toured all around Fódlan, sometimes even visiting troops on the front lines, soothing hearts with their beautiful songs wherever they went, and donating their profits to the relief and rebuilding effort. When the damage from the war had finally healed, the pair once again retreated form the stage, this time retiring to a private life together. It is said that their relationship was full of light and love.

Ferdinand, Noblest of Nobles & Manuela, Divine Songstress (Verdant Wind)
Almost immediately after becoming the new Duke Aegir, Ferdinand married Manuela, and the two dedicated themselves to reformation efforts. Manuela lent her considerable talent and experience, using personal connections she'd gained in her time as a songstress and teacher to assemble a team of talented people. Between her personal skills and her ability as a physician, she became so essential that she was called upon to bring the reforms that helped Aegir territory to Fódlan at large. While she traveled the world, Ferdinand stayed behind, minding his own lands and looking after their child.

Lorenz, Noble of the Red Rose & Manuela, Divine Songstress
As the new head of House Gloucester, Lorenz first worked to restore his own territory, and then expanded his vision to include reforms for all Fódlan. At the height of his storied political career, he announced his marriage to Manuela, who had established a new school for children in a small town. Seeing the beauty in Manuela's dream, Lorenz put all his resources toward building schools like Manuela's all over Fódlan, providing education to scores of children who had been left helpless by the war. After many years of success and prosperity, a bronze statue of the couple was erected at the original school to honor their achievement. It stands to this day.

Seteth, Ally of the Archbishop & Manuela, Divine Songstress
After the war, Seteth remained at the monastery to rebuild the church. Several years of hard restorative work later, he received a letter from Manuela. She wrote that she had traveled to a small, war-torn town and opened up a school for children. Reminded of the beauty and compassion in Manuela's heart, Seteth was moved to leave the monastery and join her there. As they worked together to manage the budding institution, the couple fell in love and eventually were married. It is said that their students were overjoyed.

Hanneman, Father of Crestology & Manuela, Divine Songstress
After the war, Hanneman and Manuela held a grand wedding ceremony, to which all of their many students were invited. Later, as Garreg Mach came to be restored, the Officers Academy finally reopened, with a renewed focus on accepting students regardless of status. Manuela and Hanneman returned to work as teachers, almost as if nothing had changed, and filled the halls with their banter in the way only married couples can. Their relationship spawned a trend of romances among colleagues at the Officers Academy, but that is an entirely different story.

Byleth,Wings Of The Hegemon & Manuela,Divine Songstress
Very soon Byleth and Manuela had finished their grand and elaborate wedding ceremony, the struggle against those who slither in the dark began in earnest. The pair fought many battles together, but Manuela had to leave the front lines when she discovered she was with child. Though they spent many days apart, the family reunited once true peace had come to Fódlan. The happiness of their family was plain to see on the faces that were immortalized in their family portraits.

Byleth,Guardian of Order & Manuela,Divine Songstress
Byleth announced his marriage to Manuela shortly after being named archbishop of the Church of Seiros. Manuela lent her considerable experience and talent to the rebuilding effort, using personal connections she'd gained during her time as a songstress and teacher to assemble a team of talented people to restore the church. She became essential to the archbishop, and her skills as a physician kept him in good health for many years. The happiness of the couple and their children was plain to see on the faces that were immortalized in family portraits.

Quotes

Battle quotes

“	Dorothea: Manuela? It's not like you to show up anywhere sober. What's the occasion? Manuela: I thought maybe we could talk. I could help you see the error of your ways. Or we could just try to kill each other over what we believe in. You ready to do this? Dorothea: No... But let's get to it.	”	— Manuela, fighting Dorothea in Silver Snow Chapter 19/Verdant Wind Chapter 20/The Silver Maiden.

“	Manuela: Hey! You're not the Death Knight! What gives? Bandit Leader: Death Knight? What nonsense are you talking now? Do we look like knights to you, lady? Manuela: You're just lousy hill bandits. Well, I'll teach you to waste my time!	”	— Manuela, fighting the Bandit Leader in Oil and Water.

“	I hate to have to kill someone I know...but I have no choice.	”	— Manuela, as an enemy in The Silver Maiden.

“	Manuela: You've grown into a fine, handsome man, Dimitri. Bit of a shame you've also become a violent beast. Men like you make the Silver Maiden cry. Dimitri: Oh?
