Ballpoint pen, JASC Paint Shop Pro 7. Favourite Males version here: [link] Like I said, here's the female version of my favourite Fie Emblem characters! They don't seem to be standing as neatly as the guys since they're being all.. lively. XD The females are from each released Fire Emblem (1 - 11--but not including whatever that was for the Satellaview). Anyway, if you can't tell, here they are and why I chose them (from left to right): Micaiah - Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (FE10) Elincia, Calill, Nephenee, and Sanaki were runners up. Well, I'm just being kind of biased because when I play Fire Emblem, I tend to assign my own characters to the characters in the game. So for Micaiah, I made her me! XD I thought she was pretty interesting, especially knowing that she's probably chaotic in nature. The problem was it didn't seem like they she actually got to do a lot on her own because she always seemed to let others tell her what to do or was trapped and forced to do something. Maybe if there is a sequel, I'll get to see her shine as an empress. XD Celica - Fire Emblem Gaiden (FE2) I know almost nothing about this game, so I pretty much just chose the main female character who happens to be the most interesting looking one of the character arts I've seen too. XD Is she some sort of princess? Either way, she seems like she'd be pretty cool, wielding a sword and all that gold armour. Mareeta - Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 (FE5) Another case of self-identification-bias! Otherwise, i might've picked Machua or Olwen. I don't know much about her except that she's Evayle's adopted daughter and gets taken over by an evil sword. XD On the plus side, she's a swordmaster, which are always cool! I figure she's also better than her mommy, since my brother says Evayle sucked. Tell your mommy to go back to using a bow! Farina - Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword (FE7) For those of you who guess the pairing wrong, shame on you! Lyn's got nothing on Farina's level of brashness and independence (besides, I like Rath too much to let him wander home alone to make Sue with random-Sacae-lady!)! Serra, Nino, and Louise were also pretty cool, but I thought Farina was extra funny. Funny wins points with me! Not to mention, I thought she was the best Pegasus knight out of her sisters. You'll always be worth Hector's 20,000G, Farina! A lifetime of noble carrots for Murphy! Calill - Fire Emblem: Path pf Radiance (FE9) Elincia, Marcia, and Mia would be runners up in this one. I picked Calill because she's hilarious. XD I also thought she was awesome because of the skills she comes with. When you think about it, she's a really accomplished woman! Look at her Bs in all anima elements! She's even keen enough to see skills in other people and neutralize them (nihil). So really, she is a first-class mage! Plus, for some reason, she decided to specialize in stabbing people as well. XD Caeda - (Or.. Shiida / Sheeda) Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem (FE3). Oh look, it's main girl character from FE3! She as kind of annoying in the anime, but I will give her the benefit of the doubt. Plus, I hear she's the best recruiter in the game when it comes to making people join your side. I don't know much else about her, but maybe I'll end up liking her in FE11. XD I think she looks a bit like Eirika from FE8 from the way I drew her. Whoops! Ira - (aka Ayra) Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War (FE4) The original female sword fighter! XO She has no comparison! I could not name another FE4 female that is even near her level (well, maybe her daughter...). She's a tough woman with valuable talents! I liked how she turns into a killing machine for you. Even Lex saw her greatness and wanted to give her gifts (and apparently.. Arden does too? >.> ) . She's probably my favourite Fire Emblem character overall, and was actually probably the character that made me love Fire Emblem in the first place, so she'll always have a place in my heart. <3 Minerva - Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (FE11) Again, I'm running out of characters to choose from! So here is a kind of cool looking character that earns some points because she's named after my favourite type of goddess! She looks like she's the serious tough type, which I appreciate. It's too bad she was such a pain in the butt to draw because the illustrator for FE11 wants to put potential fanartists through hell (he uses waaaaay too many textures on EVERYTHING). L'Arachel - Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones (FE8) Lute would be the runner up. L'Arachel wins for her extra hilarity factor. :> I just love her personality. FE8 in general seemed to have a larger variety of zany characters than usual, which made the game more enjoyable despite how unpolished some of it was (e.g. female assassins use the same sprites as the males! EW!). She acted like a joke character, but she actually played important roles in the story, and she's somehow supposed to eventually rule over a kingdom. XD Good work, L'Arachel. Never change. Linda - (Linde?) Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light (FE1) Again, I'm running out of characters! So here's a character with a kind of interesting backstory: she tries to escape persecution by crossdressing as a boy, but then ends up in the slave trade! Awesome! Apparently, she's a light mage that kind of looks like a dancer/thief (Leila, FE5). I have no idea if she ever amounts to anything, but it's probably something more notable than Kashim/Castor. XD Lilina - Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals (FE6) Who's a cute little fire mage? That's right, Lilina! I don't know many of the other characters in this game, but it's not like I need to. What's better than the daughter of awesome Hector (and Farina)? >.> She's kind of a gullible and naive little girl--much like the lovable Nino! Kind of weird to picture her as Marquess of Ostia like that! Oh man.. so there we are... I have fanarted as much as I could for the rest of the year! XD |

Your art is mind-blowing. Ballpoint pen? Such confidence!
I agree. I also like Micaiah. And Ayra. She's the diety of badass, AND she wears pants instead of bare legs.
Dang, I was one of those who got the pairing wrong. Hahaha!
Nice ladies there - you can tell if you're a hard-core FE fan if you recognize all of those (even if I haven't played the games) XD
Lets see, I've done... six or seven of the FE games. Not bad for somebody who dosen't know japanese. XDDDD

You know, I didn't even think about Farina when you talked about a bold and brash female being paired with Hector, and I can't believe it never crossed my mind. XD. After HectorxLyn, Farina's my favorite person to pair with Hector fo' sho'. They have arguably the funniest freaking supports in the game! "DON'T GET ME INVOLVED IN YOUR WACKY FANTASIES!" Ah ha ha. Oh, Hector. (Not gonna lie, though...I have a furtive fondness for KentxFarina myself. That way Sain can have Fiora and then neither of our Caelin boys are lonely. derrr) On a random note, I got a kick out of the fact that you've made Farina so tall, because really, when you look at her sprite, she's REALLY GODDAMN TALL. She's probably the tallest chick in the game, in fact. I mean, dang.
I always feel bad about Calill. I feel like she's one of those units who, outside of FE9/10, would be insanely awesome and kick ass left and right, but in my files she's always trumped by Soren and Ilyana. At least she's hot, though.
I really like Lilina myself, which is funny because I don't normally like the "lovably naive little girl" type of character (i.e. Nino, Mist). Maybe it's just that she's Hector's daughter and I'm biased. XD

And maybe that she kills pegesi. Hahahaah!
They made the story kind of lopsided, so it seemed like everything she did was wrong no matter what.
I usually just use pen because it's easy, doesn't smudge, and forces me to have confidence in my lines.
It's awesome that Ayra wears pants in her original official art (but for some reason, newer arts of her in trading card games, etc, make her have bare legs! grr!).
I'm just looking at these characters, and I'd say that I would personally only be able to recognize 6-7 of these girls as well--despite the fact that I drew them! xD
LOLLL XD Pity Ninty hasn't released more in English. TAT That's what emulators are for though. >3

Despite her tallness, Farina's actually pretty tinycompared to Hector according to the game ending! Damn these artists! Sain and uhm... Rebecca can get together. XD (I think it would "officially" be Eliwood and Ninian, and Hector and Lyn though--cuz they get extra convos together!).
I feel the same way about most prepromotes. I never use them because they are experience hogs.. but I SURE learned my lesson when trying to train losers like Fiona and Meg--Ilyana kind of sucked a whole lot in my FE10 game too! I might as well use my prempromotes rather than deal with them!
About Lilina.. the Hector daughter factor definitely plays a big role for me. XD SOME of that greatness has to rub off somewhere! Cute girls are okay with me as long as they have contradictory killing abilities--but are not too Lolita/young looking... like Myrrh. I'm not sure if Lilina is much of a killing machine, but I'd force her to be one. >.>
I wouldn't use her either if she were a blander character, but since I pay 20G and she's wacky, I thought I may as well! Plus, it gave me a good reason to dump Fiora and Florina forever (I usually don't like pegasus knights anyway).
Yes.. pity translation patches take so long to come out!
