1:Does your character have parents?
Ike’s parents, Elena and General Gawain Greil have since both passed on. Both of his parents were born in the country of Daein. Ike has fond memories of his mother, though they are few and far between. Having learned of her death, and witnessing the death of his father by the infamous Black Knight, Ike looks after his only family left, his young sister Mist. She is his only blood relative left.
Despite his parent’s tragic ends, he often considers certain members of his mercenary group family. Titania had often been motherly towards Ike and he respects her just as if she were his own mother.
2:What is their experience as a child?
As a child growing up in the beast laguz country of Gallia, Ike had always seen the world in color. His parents raised him to be kind, caring and compassionate in a world where discrimination between the Laguz and Beorc (humans) run rampant, Ike has never been one to show any sign of prejudice, even as a child.
Ike remembers very little of his time in Gallia as a child. Certain memories such as playing with his sister, learning the ways of the sword by his father’s lesson, saving and meeting his friend Ranulf, and the lullabies his mother would sing to him are still very pertinent in his mind. Beyond that however, he recalls nothing.
Generally, Ike is a rather healthy person. He does not succumb to illness very easily, though when he does, he is seriously down for the count. The man is a bit stubborn in both body and mind, and refuses to allow illnesses to slow him down, which often leads to him being scolded by Titania.
32:How do they express themselves?
Ike expresses himself through his actions. Ike initially is quite defensive when meeting people, if only to gauge their trustworthiness. Though once that has been established he is somewhat open with his feelings, speaking rather bluntly about even the most mundane topics.
Beyond his sword, Ike is dreadful at most other things. He has no artistic, creative, or writing abilities, though has been known to sing. While he isn’t the best singer, it is at least tolerable enough to put Mist to sleep as child.
