“	The breeze, the trees, the sky, the brooks... They are all speaking to us.	”	— Sue to Roy in a support conversation.

Sue (Japanese: スー Sue) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. She first appears in Chapter 6. A Sacaen nomadic girl, Sue is a member of the Kutolah tribe and granddaughter of their leader, Dayan, also known as the Silver Wolf. She is also the daughter of Rath, a playable character from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. While her mother's name is unknown, there is the possibility of Lyn being the other parent, as suggested by her shared ending with Rath.

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

Role

Sue and her tribe. Dayan and Sin can be seen in the background.

When Bern starts to invade countries, Sacae is one of the first lands to be attacked. The Silver Wolf, leader of the Kutolah tribe and the most powerful warrior of Sacae, leads the resistance forces, and entrusts the women and children to Sue, his granddaughter. She is told to lead them to Lycia, where they would be safe. However, another tribe, known as the Djute, betrays the Kutolah and ambushes them. Sue, in an attempt to buy some time for her clansmen, faces the incoming attack, but this ends up being a ruse; the main forces were waiting where the Kutolah women and children had fled to, and Sue is unable to help them. Apparently, she is the only survivor of this massacre.

After wandering in Lycian territory for a while, Sue finds refuge in Thria, under Lord Orun's protection. Yet when Wagner rebels and assassinates his lord, she is thrown into a cell, to be sent to Bern soon. She is later freed by the remnants of the Lycian Alliance army, who had been trapped by Wagner. After inquiring about their goal, she decides to join them in order to fight against Bern and to avenge Lord Orun.

When the army goes to the Western Isles, she runs into Sin, a fellow clansman. She wonders what he is doing there, so far away from Sacae, and after hearing Sin's explanations, she asks him to join the Lycian army, as they would be helping her grandfather by doing so. Then, ff the Etrurian army chooses to liberate Sacae first, Sue finally meets with her grandfather and convinces him to join forces with Roy, assuring him that the Lycian lord does not plan on conquering them thereafter. After liberating Sacae, she, together with Sin and Dayan, shows Roy where the Divine Weapon wielded by Hanon, Mulagir, is hidden.

After Bern is defeated and the war is over, Sue returns to the plains of Sacae and lives normally, declining all credit for her contributions in the war. These actions would eventually lead people to compare her with the Divine Warrior Hanon.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Sue is the first Nomad you get in The Binding Blade. She joins with low bases and a base level of 1, but with fairly good growths in most areas. While her strength and lock to 2 range might seem like big issues when combined with the low might of bows, because enemies in The Binding Blade are quite bulky it's rare for most units to one round them and as such Sue can be useful for providing safe chip damage, as most 1-2 range weapons in the game suffer from poor accuracy. Sue can also provide uses thanks to her low constitution giving her the massive aid of 15, allowing her to rescue almost any unit. Her low constitution does lower her speed if she uses anything but an iron or short bow, but she can make up for it with her great speed growth. Sue is also incredibly frail, with poor defensive growths and HP growth ensuring that she will usually die 2 or 3 hits, she can try to dodgetank because of the poor accuracy of weapons in The Binding Blade, but it's very risky to try so on a frail unit like Sue and supports which could boost her avoid build up very slowly. When all of those flaws combine with the fact that you cannot get the true ending if you lose her might make Sue seem like another mediocre unit among many in The Binding Blade. However, because of her combination of both mounted and bow utility, both very useful tools in the game, she has a fair amount of uses. First is how she can deal valuable damage to the wyverns in chapter 7, along with providing mounted utility. She will also likely be the first unit with access to the Killer bow which significantly improves her combat, likely making her even better than Sin at combat and having the utility of a mount over Klein and Igrene, while Dayan comes quite late. Sue still won't be a standout utility or combat units and will face some steep competition, but she has enough useful niches to still stand out above most of the cast.

Personality and character

Sue is a quiet and focused person. She is not one to raise her voice, even when forced to act differently as she had wanted to. Despite her calm nature, she is willing to fight as soon as she is freed; in fact, the only times she protests loudly is when she is denied from fighting or overprotected. Such willingness may be due to her failure at protecting the Kutolah women and children; due to this, she wants to be in the front lines, despite what Sin, her bodyguard, thinks on the matter.

While Sue may not seem very interested in the rest of the army, she is in very close contact with nature, and is dumbfounded after learning that Fae is not allowed to go outside her room; in several of her supports she shows this facet, even stating that her heart lies in the plains of Sacae. However, that does not mean she does not try to understand other lifestyles; after talking to Wolt, she tries to use her bow while on feet, and wonders if the differences between her and Roy are due to their different upbringings.

Endings

Sue, Doe of the Plains
Short: Contiuned life in Sacae as a nomad.

Long: Sue returned to Sacae and resumed life as a nomad. Despite playing a major role in the war, she refused to claim credit. Seeing how she chose to live her life in the vast plains which she loved so dearly, some people say that she reminded them of the "Divine Warrior" Hanon.

Roy and Sue
Sue accompanied Roy to Lycia, where she married him and became the mistress of Pherae. However, she never could cast away her love for nature, and her behavior sometimes troubled those around her, who were not familiar with Sacaean culture.
