I am Xander, Crown Prince of Nohr, and wielder of the divine Siegfried. I hope to see you mete out justice.
— When summoned.
I feel as if I could learn much from Prince Alfonse and Princess Sharena—the royalty of this kingdom.
— At the castle.
My retainers are Laslow and Peri. You may find their behavior questionable. But their skill in battle is certain. Besides, I've lost retainers before. I don't wish to repeat the experience.
— At the castle.
You always look very busy. That reminds me of a time when... Well, when one of my siblings began leading an army. So, mind your limits. Stay safe and healthy.
— At the castle.
I'd like it if you would train with me from time to time. We don't need to spar—just do practice swings. You'd be surprised how simply that communicates as well as words could ever manage.
— At the castle.
I often think of my many siblings, off fighting—and who knows where? I ask that you treat them well, should you see them.
— At the castle.
Ah, greetings. Are you not <player>? I bring you best regards from your friend <friend>.

Level 40 quote

Here, take this practice sword, <player>. I borrowed it from Commander Anna. You're going to join me for training. What, don't you want to? I'm not trying to forge you into a fighter. I believe that meeting a friend blade to blade is the truest way to give voice to our inner qualities. In swordplay, you can share your hopes and fears as our leader and I can parry with things unsaid. I wouldn't spar like this with just anyone. You've proven yourself worthy on the battlefield! Now, what say you? Would you still rather not...? Oh, you'll join me! Well then, know that it is my honor completely, <player>.

Prince Alfonse's sword reminds me of my own Siegfried, which I hope is being stored safely at my castle.

The spring in Nohr is cold and dark, so I like my kingdom to celebrate spring as best we can. That, if little else, always serves to warm my people's hearts.

I have hidden an egg for you to find, <player>. Now, try your best to locate the— What? You think it's in the hand behind my back? Hmm. You are correct. I should have known that I couldn't outwit you, Summoner. Maybe you will be impressed by how I painted this egg. On this side is the symbol of Nohr. Beside it is the symbol of the Order of Heroes. Thus, this egg represents our friendship, created in the spring and strengthened in battle. Now, you should be careful with this egg, taking great care never to break it. Other painted eggs may be made to be rolled through grass in festival games... But not this one.

Xander: Student Swimmer

At the castle

I am Xander, Crown Prince of Nohr. I was at the beach practicing my swimming technique, so... Well, I'm afraid your sudden summoning caught me off guard.
— When summoned.
Before I came here, I was embroiled in a battle against my siblings and some Hoshidan royals... It was all over a ticket to a tropical island. I won, of course. I have my retainers to thank for that.
— At the castle.
Does the Order of Heroes allow for vacations? We'll take care of the enemy. You go relax on the beach. It...can be fun.

Level 40 quote

Pardon my saying, but I've had this on my mind for some time... It's awfully bold of you to force a crown prince such as myself to fight in little more than a swimsuit. No, no, I don't mean to sound upset. On the contrary, in fact. I seldom get the chance to feel free of my armor. And even more seldom do I feel so free from the burdens of the crown. My title of Crown Prince of Nohr carries no weight in this realm. I can walk along clutching my water toy Lilith and none give me a second glance. I've experienced nothing like it before. So, <player> you have my gratitude. Thank you for an unforgettable summer. I shall remain by your side until I must return home.

Xander: Dancing Knight

At the castle

I am Xander, Crown Prince of Nohr. I've long heard rumors of the dances of the Hoshidan summer festival. If I may, allow me to join in.
— When summoned.
As Crown Prince of Nohr, it wouldn't do for me to be seen dancing without the grace that befits my station...
— At the castle.
So this is Hoshido's summer festival... The rumors did not do it justice—it's more intriguing than anticipated.
— At the castle.
Are you certain you don't want to join in? To tell you the truth...I, too, was unsure at first. If you try it yourself, I think you'll find what is so wonderful about the dance.

Nohr and Hoshido were once locked in a bitter war with each other. Battle after battle raged on, no end in sight. Look how far we've come... Now we are here, together, hand in hand.

— On the character status screen.

Level 40 quote

Many chronicles of the past describe the history of humankind as one of war. Given my experience, the sentiment rings true to me. But could it be that we exist solely to fight and kill one another? I do not believe so. Sometimes we can come together in celebration, link hands, and step forward into the future. All the proof I need is in the smiling faces of the people joining in the summer festival's celebrations. In their eyes, borders and nations do not exist. Here, there is no division between Hoshido and Nohr. The festival brings people together, uniting us as one... I pray that peace like this can endure forever.

Xander: Gallant King

At the castle

I am King Xander of Nohr. My life is devoted to battlefield perfection, in both power and grandeur.
— When summoned.
Past wars have left our world in ruin. But still, together we persevere. Nohr, Hoshido, and my dear siblings.
— At the castle.

Level 40 quote

Do you know of my siblings? Camilla, Leo, Elise...and Corrin, of course. Though we may have been born to different mothers, each of them is nevertheless dear to me. As the eldest brother of Nohr's royal family, I often felt I would never know a moment's peace. Of course, that is to be expected with the territory, but... Ultimately, looking back, I am grateful to my father for having given me so many wonderful siblings. My siblings taught me to love others in a way that makes me different from my father. What I mean to say is, simply that, well... Siblings are good. And such bonds are not for family alone. I hope to reach such a level of trust and camaraderie with you one day as well, <player>. And I hope to build that trust not just as the king of a nation but simply as Xander—as your friend.
