“	Expect perfection, and you will not be disappointed.	”	— Subaki, to Sakura

Subaki (Japanese: ツバキ Tsubaki) is a character in Fire Emblem Fates. He is a Sky Knight from Hoshido and subordinate of Sakura.

Biography

Subaki was born into a family belonging to the upper echelons of Hoshido, one that is renowned for having served the royal family for generations. His parents raised him to be a paragon of strength and skill. Following the footsteps of his ancestors, Subaki is thus instated as one of Sakura's personal retainers.

Birthright

Subaki is first introduced in Chapter 7 as one of Sakura's retainers, the other being Hana. He introduces himself as Sakura's "supervising retainer", much to the annoyance of Hana. After Sakura stops their argument, they both offer to help defend Fort Jinya from a Nohrian assault commanded by Silas.

After repelling this attack, Subaki joins Corrin for the rest of the story to help settle an age-old conflict shared between Hoshido and Nohr.

Conquest

Subaki appears in Chapter 22, defending Fort Jinya alongside Hana, Yukimura, and Sakura from Corrin's assault. Their efforts fail, and the fort falls to Nohr.

Revelation

Subaki appears at the end of Chapter 8, where he and Hana follow Sakura after she leaves to join Corrin's cause. Upon catching up with her, he immediately expresses relief before proclaiming that he and Hana will always support her in all the decisions that she makes. Subaki stays with Corrin for the rest of the story to stop the real threat, Anankos.

Fire Emblem Fates

Role

Subaki is a playable character in Birthright and Revelation, and appears as an enemy in Chapter 22 in the Conquest route.
