Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
In contrast to Mae, Boey is a much more defensive mage. He has the same starting class as her, but is better off attacking from a distance than being up front. His 55% HP growth and surprising 35% defense growth give him the ability to take several hits from opponents considering his class's frailty. His skill growth is high, and his 50% attack growth is good. One of the main issues with Boey is his mere 4 movement and 4 base speed with a poor growth. Boey stalls the team in desert and swamp levels and he generally is in the back of the army. Boey's set of spells is similar to Mae's, but does have a few differences. Unlike Mae, who immediately has Thunder, Boey starts out with Fire as his only spell, and it is not a powerful attack. However, he does learn Thunder at level 3, an attack that allows him to defeat opponents from a distance. Boey gets access to Sagittae at level 12, allowing him to easily take care of the terrors in act 4 and giving him an excellent move to have once he gets promoted. At level 18, Boey learns Excalibur, which can be used as a suitable replacement for Fire. The last spell Boey learns is Recover, upon becoming a Sage. This gives him the ability to heal his allies, but because Boey only has 4 movement, he often ends up too far behind his allies to heal them. As a character, Boey is a relatively weak character to start with, but once he reaches level 12, he becomes a suitable attacker. By using the sacred springs found throughout Valentia, Boey is able to become a reliable unit, but then other units won't benefit from the stat boosts.
In conclusion, Boey often is in Mae's shadow as the mage on Celica's army, but he does become more reliable through promoting.
Fire Emblem Heroes
Role
Boey is one of the characters added to the game in the Rite of Shadows update, and became available for summoning by players on May 15, 2017. Only one variation of Boey is currently available in Heroes, based on his Echoes: Shadows of Valentia incarnation.

Personality and character
Boey grew up in a small fishing village as the son of a poor fisherman. Due to his family's struggles to take care of him and his siblings during trying times, Boey was sent to the priory prior to the start of Shadows of Valentia. His humility is a standout trait of his, as is his sense of duty. Unlike Mae, who sees and speaks to Celica more like a friend, Boey always acknowledges their difference in background, opting to call Celica "milady" instead of addressing her by name. This may stem from his poor upbringing making him more aware of their contrast.
In his support conversations with Mae, Boey explains that he was always prepared for the day he would need to use his magic to protect Celica, having acknowledged and come to terms with the fact that it would likely mean taking enemy lives with it. However, Boey has a notable fear of Terrors, and Necrodragons in particular.
His relationship with Mae is a competitive one, with the two bickering throughout the game, often about each other's perceived inadequacies. This eventually blossoms into a romance once the two reach their A Support level, and culminates in their marriage in the game's epilogue.

Ending
Gaiden
If Mae survived
As always, he does nothing but bicker with Mae. Perhaps, for the two of them, that is true happiness?
If Mae did not survive
Now that Mae's gone before him, he realizes his own heart for the first time. However, time cannot be turned back.
Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
If Mae survived
After returning to the priory on Novis, Boey weathered a trying courtship with Mae until the two were wed. Children came soon and in plentiful number, giving the pair a host of new excuses to argue. Joy takes curious forms at times, but Boey was a happy man indeed.
If Mae did not survive
Only after losing Mae did Boey realize the nature and intensity of his feelings for her. Wracked with regret, he poured himself into his work, ultimately succeeding Nomah as high priest of the priory. He spent his life there aiding the poor in humble—yet rewarding—service.

Trivia
- While it is likely Boey is simply using the term "not as green as you think" to describe himself as "not as new as you think", his quote may unintentionally allude to his artwork depicting him with green hair, despite having red hair in his in-game portrait and Fire Emblem: The Complete artwork.
- There is an imprisoned child with the same name in Chapter 4x of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776.
