NAME:   byleth eisner  (though keeping in mind, not her true name) TITLE:   the ashen demon,  the fell-star,  the beginning* AGE:   verse dependent.  20  (beginning)  -  25  (time-skip).   (by default,  i write byleth post sothis-merger.)   immortal.   in a modern-verse setting,  her d.o.b. remains unchanged,  making her nearly 900 years old BIRTHDATE:   the 20th of the horsebow moon in imperial year 1159 GENDER IDENTITY:     nonbinary  (uses she  /  her pronouns) SEXUALITY:     bisexual FAMILY:   jeralt  (father,  deceased),  sitri  (mother,  deceased),  no other known family MARITAL STATUS:   single,  though she has assumed covers on many an undercover job AFFILIATION:   jeraltâs mercenary group OCCUPATION:    temporary professor at garreg mach monasteryâs officerâs academy;  full-time mercenary HEIGHT:   175cm / 5ft9in WEIGHT:   around 200lbs / 90 kg. her bones are a lot heavier than human bones, so the muscles are in turn denser and heavier, as well. she's around 30 kgs heavier than others with a build similar to hers HAIR:   before the merger:   hair the color of deep oceans during a storm.   after the merger:   hair the color of seafoam EYES:   before the merger:   eyes the color of a polished lapis lazuli gemstone.   after the merger:   eyes the color of a polished chrysoprase gemstone
OTHER DETAILS:Â
bylethâs hands  (her palms especially, but the backs of her hands too)  are littered with scars.   some that healed well, and are just smooth  /  faded skin, and some that didnât.   some are from her childhood  /  from brandishing a weapon practically from birth and some are healed over wounds from before their merc group found a healer  /  before she learned basic healing magics.   she wears gloves and a light gauntlet set now
aside from her hands, Â byleth has notable scarring in three places: Â Â throat, chest, and abdomen. Â Â the first scar is on the chest: Â Â a heart transplant surgery scar. Â Â itâs sizable and branches out at the upper half portion; Â it starts at her sternum and travels up to the base of her clavicles. Â Â the branch curves to the left. Â Â the neck and abdomen scars are slash and stab wounds, Â respectively, Â old ones from when she used to fight a lot more recklessly and was prone to injuries at all
she has a pair of nipple piercings. Â Â she had them pierced in the middle of a mission, around a year prior to her initial arrival at garreg mach
in canon, when she smiles, she never shows her teeth. Â Â the reason for this is that if she were to grin, the appearance of her would make it obvious sheâs not just human. Â Â donât ask her to show her teeth; Â sheâs practiced hiding them. Â Â sheâs practiced hiding everything that would make her visibly stand out
her eyes are prominent.   her gaze is piercing.   when the sunâs up, her eyes are easily noticeable because of the color  (and because she has very big eyes! very open eyes!),  but when the sun sets, they attain a distinct sheen to them that makes it appear as if they glow in the dark  (and they do.   iâm not creative).   prior to sothisâ soul merging with hers, this was subtle, but after her appearance changes, this vague sheen to her irises becomes immediately eye-catching, especially under the moon
LIKES:   her father first and foremost,  helping and listening to people  (specifically,  she relies considerably on outside sources,  and how useful she is to others,  to quantify her merit),  reliable allies,  smiles,  and being trusted.   sheâs partial to animals and finds them easy to understand and communicate with DISLIKES:   senseless killing.   no other apparent dislikes OTHER:   her battle-oriented interests aside,  she has several more mundane hobbies.   she keeps a journal  (the intent of this is primarily functional,  as a record of her life;   she fears losing more of her memories),  dabbles in flower-pressing,  and,  like her father,  enjoys fishing in her free time.   another one of her hobbies is reading â life and poetry journals,  to be specific;   it was a way for her to learn more about human emotions,  and it offered insight that pure observation could not
PORTRAYAL NOTES:Â
byleth can smell sickness. Â Â her nose picks up on the subtle differences in a personâs scent, Â regardless of whether itâs a minor or major illnessÂ
she has the ability to wield fire. Â Â this particular brand of magic is chantless, Â and she can call to it at any given time, Â without preparation or warning
suffers from chronic pains.   she has achieved complete control over her body and the visible symptoms  /  consequences of the pain,  so no one apart from her family knows
while she doesnât have a heartbeat of her own, Â she can hear other people's heartbeats, Â even at a distance. Â Â this, Â alongside several other details, Â makes her an incredibly difficult person to lie to
experiences frequent depersonalization-derealization disorder symptoms. Â Â her symptoms are exacerbated in the aftermath of her five-year coma
she becomes attached to kindness easily â it makes her no easier to fool, Â but it does make her more prone to forgive, Â even in situations others would deem unforgivable
resistant to poisons, Â up to a certain degree. Â Â this has less so to do with her unique disposition and more with consistent, Â careful micro-dosing
as the primordial goddessâs vessel, Â and later becoming a goddess herself, Â byleth can accelerate, decelerate, stop and reverse time. Â Â again, Â up to a certain degree
she doesnât tend to use profanity. Â Â thereâs no special reason for this, Â merely accustomance. Â Â in addition, Â the emotional enticement thatâs attached to profanity is something she rarely feels
skilled at gambling,  and barring that,  any sort of skill-oriented game with high stakes  /  the possibility of earning money.  this is entirely due to her strategizing proficiency.   cards,  especially,  are only partially about luck.   success is more attributed to math,  being able to sell oneâs hand,  and get a read on your opponent in turn â all her fortes
despite a non-existent heartbeat and no feasible way for her body to pump blood, Â bylethâs body runs, Â on average, Â several degrees hotter than other human bodies. Â Â her blood itself is hot, Â as opposed to typically warm
VERSE INFO: Â Â * Â the major occurrences in fire emblem: three houses are fixed events in bylethâs story and permeate, Â at least partially, Â every one of her available verses. Â Â it isnât necessary to be familiar with the plot prior to interaction, Â but these events will feature in all verse development
FIRE EMBLEM:Â Â Â canon verse. Â Â byleth is a mercenary, Â part of her fatherâs troupe, Â assuming a temporary teaching position at garreg mach officer's academy. Â Â golden deer alignment, Â thread-dependent. Â Â once the goddessâs vessel, Â now a goddess herself â the fell-star
GEN-MODERN: Â Â more predisposed towards modern fantasy. Â Â treats the events of fire emblem as having happened at some point in history. Â Â byleth has adapted to modern society and functions accordingly. Â Â adaptable to most modern-setting series
GEN-FANTASY: Â Â similar to canon verse, Â but less bound to a strict timeline, Â treating the events from three houses as already having happened. Â Â byleth is a traveling mercenary, Â possessing a goddessâs soul
DRAGON AGE:   treats fodlan as a continent separate of thedas.   byleth is a repeat temporary resident of kirkwall during the events of dragon age 2,  specifically.   present for all of act 1,  after which she leaves thedas for fodlan where her canon verse runs its course,  for a total of six years.  she returns permanently for the events of act 3.   come inquisition,  itâs possible to recruit her as a companion
BALDURâS GATE: Â Â same as gen-fantasy, Â but adhering to the events from baldurâs gate 3. Â Â byleth is a prisoner aboard the nautiloid. Â Â a multi-classed fighter and sorcerer
