The core game of ''Awakening'' features 49 playable characters, divided roughly into three groups.  There are 30 initial units, comprising a "first generation".  These thirty characters can, like in {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}}, be paired up to have a set of children characters who join in [[sidequest]] chapters. With [[Lucina|one exception]], the children characters are completely optional, and it is entirely possible to not receive them by simply not pairing up the parents or by not visiting the [[sidequest]]s in which the children are recruited.  An additional six characters are available in [[SpotPass]] sidequests unlocked only immediately prior to the [[Grima (chapter)|Endgame]]; these six can only support with the Avatar.

Outside of the core 49, a vast array of [[bonus units]] can be obtained through [[List of bonus chapters and downloadable content in Fire Emblem: Awakening|downloadable content]], [[StreetPass]] or [[SpotPass]].  A total of 120 unique units are available through SpotPass, comprised of an assortment of returning characters from prior {{FES}} titles, with another 17 available with redesigned art through downloadable content.  In addition to this, the Avatars of players are transmitted to other players through StreetPass and can potentially be recruited in the same way.  Any single save file can only have twenty such bonus units active in their party at a time.
