Arete (pronounced /ˈɑɹəteɪ/[key][2]; Japanese: シェンメイ Shenmei) was the former Queen of Nohr and Valla in Fire Emblem Fates.
Fire Emblem Fates
Role
Arete died before the events of Fates. She was the mother of Azura.
Revelation
Arete only appears in Revelation, and as an enemy to Corrin's forces. Her first appearance, albeit obscured, is in Chapter 7. The means of her appearance remains unexplained for a fair portion of the game, though it is eventually revealed that the Vallite king Anankos is able to enslave and command the dead, with Arete being one such servant.
Arete makes a total of three boss appearances, with her first boss appearance being in Chapter 18, still under an obscuring shadow. She flees after this encounter.
A while later she appears again in Chapter 22 in a forest of Valla. Arete reveals herself to Corrin and the army. Azura eventually sees that the mysterious woman they met earlier was her deceased mother. Arete battles them and escapes again after the battle.
Her last appearance is in Chapter 23, with a reanimated Scarlet in tow as a 'gift'. After the battle, Arete is finally dealt a mortal blow. During her dying moments she remembers who she was and who Azura is. Arete spends her final minutes in Azura's arms before she dissolves away, leaving the army to harden their resolve to take down Anankos.

What joy we might have shared. What songs we might have sung. Arete: You flatter yourself. I would I deign to do these things with you? Shigure: Do you feel nothing when you look at me? At this pendant? It doesn't stir anything at all within you? Arete: What does the great King Anankos's loyal servant care for such things? Perhaps this pain will stop when I silence you once and for all. But first, let me hear your voice. Sing once more before fading into nothing. Shigure: If I sing, it will be your funeral dirge. For I see there can be no mercy for you. Farewell, Grandmother... |

Trivia
- Arete's feather can be purchased from the accessory shop in My Castle.
- For whatever reason, Arete has less HP across chapters of the same difficulty. For instance, in the Normal mode version of chapter 22 she has less HP than in the Normal Mode version of chapter 18, though it goes back up by her appearance in the same difficulty of chapter 23.
- Likewise, her Luck decreases with each appearance at least on the Normal difficulty, with chapter 18 giving her her highest figure in the stat.
