One thing I absolutely love about the Fire Emblem series is being able to consistently create a diverse cast of characters for each entry. There's always something that differentiates them from other characters of their own games and from even other entries, and it makes getting to know these characters an interesting and enjoyable experience. With this blog series, I hope to highlight some of my favorite characters of the franchise. :)



StahlName: Stahl

Origin: Fire Emblem: Awakening

Other interesting quirks:

+ His birthday is June 16th

+ The most gluttonous of the Shepherds

+ Strangely, he's able to use Falchion as a cutting knife, despite not coming from the exalted lineage...


Stahl's lax and warm demeanor makes him one of the most beloved members of the Shepherds, especially with how he always looks out for his fellow compatriots' needs. He is incredibly sensitive, and with this trait, he is able to deduce what other people are thinking, both ally and enemy alike. On the other hand, he also tends to become absentminded from time to time, and he often thinks about something else instead or what to eat as a result. In fact, it is a rare instance when he is NOT thinking about food, and he becomes somewhat irritated when he is interrupted for a meal.

Although his actions are greatly appreciated by his peers, Stahl believes that what he does is expected of him, or he considers himself the most normal member of the army in terms of strength and performance; amusingly, his combat skills reflected this as he is the perfect median in the Shepherds. Considered as a knight of great fortitude by most, he behaves modestly, or becomes nervous, when heaped with immense praise by the leading officers. Nonetheless, he always performs his utmost for the sake of his friends and allies, and he swore fealty to his nation and the Exalted family-line.

Before joining the Shepherds, Stahl helped run an apothecary shop with his father and brother, and he picked up on the trade while he worked as their assistant. One day, he left his mundane lifestyle behind to enlist as a knight in the Ylissean army, and he was under the tutelage of the Shepherds' own lieutenant, Frederick. Even while away, he still sends his family ingredients for tonics, and he sometimes asks his comrades for assistance in finding some of the rarer items.
