Character Information
Name: Felicia
Canon: Fire Emblem Fates
Canon Point: Revelations Chapter 18
Age: Early 20s
History: Link to the Fire Emblem Wiki
Personality: Although she hails from the frosty climes where the Ice Tribes from the northern edge of the Kingdom of Nohr dwell, Felicia is anything but frosty in demeanor. The warmth of her smile and her innate optimism stands out in sharp contrast to her more reserved twin sister, Flora, and no one would ever guess after a single encounter with this clumsy young maid that she is technically a hostage of the Nohrian military. Both Felicia and Flora are the daughters of Kilma, the chieftan of the Ice Tribes, and they were abducted when they were young as a means of quelling possible rebellion from their homelands. Although it's clear that Flora still holds a deep loyalty to her bretheren and a need for justice against King Garon, Felicia is-- thankfully-- oblivious to the grander political schemes that happen around her.
In keeping with the themes of loyalty to family by blood or by choice that are present within this game, Felicia stands as one of the two figures who choose to side with the people she cares about and loves, regardless of whether or not they need to fight against their homelands and even siblings in the grander scheme of the overarching plot. While Felicia, in her moments where she seems to be fairly observant, clearly cares for her sister and her family in the Ice Tribes, she can't bring herself to hurt Corrin-- one of the few people in her life who has supported her regardless of her personal flaws. In fact, despite her capabilities as a soldier on the battlefield, she would much rather not fight with anyone if she can avoid it. She states repeatedly, to Corrin and other characters, that there are more than enough people who can fight in their rag-tag little army-- what they need is more people who can clean and cook, which is what Felicia strives to be like for the sake of the army.
Unfortunately, her clumsiness is so severe that she isn't able to carry a tray of tea across a room without spilling it at some point. The sounds of plates breaking, glasses shattering, and cries of alarm as scalding tea is accidentally dumped onto some poor soul are common when Felicia is around, much to her own chagrin. Although she is a dedicated and eager worker, her lack of confidence in her own abilities consistently gets in the way of her being the graceful and elegant maid that she wishes to be. Her sister Flora is her role model in this regard, as is the butler, Jakob, who also chooses to follow Corrin regardless of the path they take in the game. Indications that she is anything less than worthy of being a maid in Corrin's service because of her clumsiness are the one thing that will earn a temperamental and feisty reaction from the normally bubbly young woman, and she will refuse to accept those arguments or anything less than an apology from the other party on this matter. Both royalty and her equals are treated the same in this regard. Long time allies and strangers, similarly, are also treated the same.
However, the problem that Felicia faces in this regard is the fact that she is a far better fighter in the field than she is a maid. Thanks to the firm and kind hand of the old soldier Gunter, who guarded Corrin and the castle where they all resided, Felicia became a competent fighter to such a degree that Flora is jealous of her skill, and the Hoshidan ninja Saizo repeatedly tries to convince Felicia to become his apprentice until she explains to him the exact reasons why she can't accept such an offer, and why she still innocently believes that she will be able to excel in her service regardless of her lack of skill.
Felicia's innocence and desire to help others is both a strength and a flaw for her. It's a strength because it allows her to surmount the odds and firmly believe that everything will turn out all right in the end, but it works against her because she can easily be blinded to what's happening around her and will jump into dangerous situations without forethought of the consequences. This is how Flora and their father, Kilma, were able to keep her in the dark about their political positions for so many years, and why she put herself at great risk to rescue Corrin from a deadly fever when they were children. Helping others is the same as helping herself, in her opinion-- she feels useless if she's not able to help the people who have helped her. And, even though she is observant enough to notice Prince Xander hiding as he watched her practice her duties as a maid in secret, she simply chooses to see the best everything and everyone.
During the times when she can't lie to herself about what's happening around her, Felicia does break down into tears. But, she also recovers from those tears quickly and rises above the call of duty to stand next to the people she cares for regardless of the trials that may come. Her loyalty and dedication serves as the source of her strength and, even though she trips and cries her way through the battlefield every step of the way, her strength never once wavers. She is an excellent retainer because of this, regardless of her skills as either a combatant or a maid.
Abilities: Besides her learned skills in the domestic arts as a maid and as a fighter who can use healing artifacts, daggers, and shuriken, the most notable 'power' of Felicia's is her affinity with ice. While she's not capable of feats like calling spears of ice to rain from the sky, her association with the element is enough to cause the ambient temperature surrounding her to drop to freezing levels when she is angered or in a panic. She capable of utilizing the Ice Tribe's traditional technique of drawing heat unto herself on an instinctive level, although it's noted that this is dangerous to use. Her use of this skill as a child in healing Corrin of a terrible fever took such a toll on Felicia that she was left deathly ill as a result. Besides in conversations about the past, however, we never see how this skill is utilized in actual gameplay.
Strengths: Kind. Honest. Friendly. Earnest. Loyal.
Weaknesses: Clumsy. Naive. Oblivious. Lacks Confidence. Doesn't Acknowledge Her Problems.
God/Shinki: Shinki
Why?: In short, because Felicia is a maid who is wholly dedicated to Corrin with her body and spirit. She willingly chooses to follow Corrin no matter which path is chosen, and ends up at odds with rebels from her homeland and her twin sister, Flora, in two of them. Felicia also wishes for nothing more than to be the best maid she possibly can be at this point in time, despite acknowledging that she would be more useful to the entire army if she were a proper soldier on the battlefield. Furthermore, Felicia and her counterpart Jakob both have a skill that gives them a health boost if they aid one of their allies-- they Live to Serve, literally.
Cause Of Death: She was assailed by the party's enemies after everyone jumped into the Bottomless Canyon to enter Valla in chapter 18
Vessel: A small steel dagger
Name Location: The base of her neck
Power: Ice Healing. This is a natural extension of Felicia's inherent abilities with ice and her capabilities as a healer in her canon. This is likely to manifest in snow flurries not unlike the ones that follow her when she attacks in canon, and will be able to heal non-fatal injuries of her god and her god's allies if it's desired.
Old wounds and scar tissue will be unaffected by this. Only recent injuries.
