Birthday

From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.
Nowi's birthday occurring in the barracks.

In the Fire Emblem series, some characters have a known birthday; in some games this has gameplay benefits and the date of the birthday itself may be referencing an event or Fire Emblem series game release date. This page provides a summary of known birthdays within the franchise.

In the vast majority of Fire Emblem games character birthdays are generally unknown, though some important characters will have a birth year that can be figured out from official timelines or other media. The games' entire cast having fully defined birthdays in their profiles is a fairly recent development within the series. Currently only four main series games and one spin-off have defined birthdays for its playable cast.

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

Creating a tactician

In Elibe a character's birth month is thought to determine some personality traits, similar to the concept of astrology.[1]

The player chooses the birth month of Mark in The Blazing Blade; their birth month determines their affinity. In the Japanese release, Mark's affinity is determined by their birth month and their blood type. This affinity determines the Tactician's bonus.

Fire Emblem Awakening

Characters' birthdays are listed as the last line of their bio on the roster, which can be accessed by visiting the barracks. Some of the characters' birthdays represent special dates.

If the system's clock matches one of the character's birthdays, the barracks will generate a special event, marked in red, that announces the character's birthday. If the barracks is visited on their birthday, that character gets a burst of experience, finds a random item, and gains a boost in two random stats.

The player chooses Robin's birthday when starting a new game. When the player enters the barracks on this day, the random character on the 3DS's lower screen will have a special message, wishing Robin a happy birthday with an amused expression. Characters who are children of or married to Robin will also have unique lines. On the bottom screen, Robin's spouse will no longer appear more often than other characters, as opposed to normal days. Should Robin share their birthday with another character, the bottom screen will show both characters at the same time, and two red events will be generated, with Robin's taking place first.

Excluding Robin, exactly four characters celebrate their birthday each month. Old Hubba's birthday is stated in his unused roster description, but this has no effect on gameplay.

Fire Emblem Fates

Characters' birthdays are listed as the last line of their bio on the roster, which can be accessed by visiting the library in the Records Hall. Some of the characters' birthdays represent special dates. The player chooses Corrin's birthday when starting a new game.

If the system's clock matches one of the character's birthdays, a birthday cake icon appears above their head in My Castle. If Corrin talks to them, that character gets a burst of weapon experience, finds a preset item, and gains a surge in Speed and Luck. After that, they will ask for an accessory and thank the player for remembering their birthday if they agree to give one, regardless of whether or not the gift is a favored accessory.

The item the character finds is based on the route and chapter progression. They are as followed:[2]

Birthright Conquest Revelation
Chapters 6–13 Pine Branch Moonlight Harp Yumi
Chapters 14–18 Paper Votive Candle Lantern
Chapters 19–27 Monkey Spirit Odin's Grimoire Sunrise Katana

When the player enters My Castle on Corrin's birthday, characters around the castle will all wish them a happy birthday if spoken to. Characters who are married to Corrin will also have unique lines and will give them flowers in their Private Quarters. Lilith will also wish them a happy birthday should Corrin enter her temple.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Byleth's birthday (and by extension Sothis's birthday) is chosen by the player at the beginning of the game.

On a character's birthday, the player has the choice to send flowers (which costs 200 gold), have a tea party with the character (if unlocked), or do nothing at all. On Byleth's birthday in Part 1, the player receives a letter from the chosen house's leader (Edelgard, Dimitri, or Claude) which contains an item (the Black Eagle Pendant, Blue Lion Brooch, or Golden Deer Bracelet, respectively). If the player's birthday occurs before choosing a house to lead, or after siding against Edelgard in Chapter 11 on the Black Eagles route, the player will receive a White Dragon Scarf from Rhea. In Part 2, Byleth will receive a second letter, with no item unless it was not received due to Byleth's birthday not occurring in Part 1 depending on the chosen birth date. Whom this letter is from depends on the chosen route: Edelgard for Crimson Flower, Claude for Verdant Wind, or Flayn for Silver Snow; in Azure Moon, the letter will be from Gilbert from the 1st of the Guardian Moon (Chapter 14) to the 31st of the Lone Moon (Chapter 16), and from Dimitri from the 1st of the Great Tree Moon (Chapter 17) until the end of the Azure Moon route.
