#Tiana von Riegan

[remnants-of-shadow]

The King of Almyra and the Free Spirit Commission done by @sethkiell (The King of Almyra x Tiana von Riegan) (Claude von Riegan x Hilda Valentine Goneril)

[slotumn]

I think a lot of the fandom likes to think of Claude as an Almyran immigrant kid in Fódlan but consider: he's actually a second gen Fódlani immigrant kid who went to Fódlan with high hopes and got it completely shattered.

Tiana is the first gen who's got a lot of shit to talk about her homeland because she grew up seeing all the negatives, and thinks Almyra is overall a better place to live in, for all the problems it has; Claude, on the other hand, grew up mostly feeling the negatives of Almyra and thought his mom was being unfair to her homeland.

I like to think he had this abstract romanticized notion of a Fódlan where people might be a bit "backwards" by Almyran standards, sure, but warmer and more accepting of him, especially if he had a Crest— but then he actually gets there and gets reality checked hard, lmao. Fódlan is hardly a monolith, and Leicester, especially, can never agree among themselves!

He thought his mom was exaggerating when she said "you know they'd never let you do this in Fódlan," but it turns out a lot of that was true, and he finds himself thinking "this bullshit would never fly in Almyra" a lot, too. And he realizes a lot of good things he took for granted in Almyra didn't apply everywhere.

That being said I think he ultimately comes out of it seeing the ups and downs in both of his homelands and loves both.

- "His mother's eyes" - Happy Birthday Claude 💛

this is probably self-indulgent but i have this headcanon that among the countless rumors circulating Tiana in Almyra is one regarding a certain hexing-look in her eyes, Khalid ofcourse inherited the rumors along with them.

-quick side note, (عيون أمه \ عيون ماما) "His/your mother's eyes" or "Mama's eyes" is an arabic phrase mothers use to lovingly refer to or answer their children's calls. meaning that they're as precious as her own eyes.

Fell in love with a man from the wrong side of the boarder

My interpretation of Tiana Von Riegan and the King of Almyra ✨

[kynimdraws]

"Well, this 'demon' will make you pay for what you tried to do to my baby." 

...Just wanted to draw badass Tiana and then this happened :) She will do anything for her son!! HC design for Tiana is by me, which you can see a ref of here

[arabian-batboy]

FE3H might have its issues, but I respect the fact that they're probably the only piece of media in this world that flipped the switch and had a white woman (Tiana Von Riegan) escaping from an oppressive European country to a Middle Eastern country in order to experience freedom and sworn to never return, not even for her own brother’s funeral.

I’ve been playing the three hopes demo lately and:

IT WAS HOLST BOIZ AND HES SO NICEEEEEEE

AND SHAHID CALLING CLAUDE BY HIS REAL NAME OF KHALID IS JUST YES ESPECIALLY SINCE THATS HIS HALF BROTHER WHICH THEREFORE KINDA CONFIRMS THAT THEIR DAD IS A BRUNETTE (even tho we all kinda knew that already)

AND FEM SHEZ IS SO CUTE

SHAMIR IS YES

AND ARVAL IS BASICALLY ANDROGYNOUS AGARTHAN SOTHIS

I’m not done yet but I theorize that we (Shez) are an agarthan made vessel to be on the same level as or higher than that of Sothis/Byleth.

AND CICHOL AND CETLEANN IN THE CUTSCENE IS JUST YES AND THE CONFIRMATION OF RHEA BEING THE FAKE NAME AND HER REAL NAME BEING SEROIS JUST YESSSSSS

Yuriclaude headcanons: mom edition

This will be a thing now.

Tiana comes to Fódlan to check on her son. When she happens upon camp past nightfall, Yuri spots her and they battle it out. They come to a draw, weapons to each other’s throats, just as Claude steps out of the shadows, applauding them for the show. Yuri thought he recognized those green eyes from somewhere.

Everyone is surprised oOooooooo

Tiana thinks Yuri shady (because not a noble but somehow an Alliance commander, funny purple man), but he fights good so it’s fine. She spars with Yuri and even sticks around to watch Yuri and Claude train together. Though convinced that Yuri isn’t planning to poison anyone, she doesn’t want Claude to get soft. “No hanky panky!”, she warns Claude.

Tiana fights with an axe in each hand and is a real menace on the battlefield (and as a bonus shakes up the Alliance roundtable).

The moms meet by chance when Yuri’s mom, feeling well enough to travel, delivers “some” food. Claude and Raphael help her unload the crap tons of packages. She tells Tiana what a nice young man Claude is.

Yuri’s mom stays with the Alliance as a cook. (Reason being…? Idk Faerghus too cold -> health reasons)

Claude has… complicated feelings towards his mom, who was never really affectionate. He works through it by letting Yuri’s mom baby him a little.

Later, when she is alone, Tiana remarks, “I see now, where Yuri gets his charms from…” 🌝

Tea time!

Tiana gets along surprisingly well with Yuri’s mom.

Neither mom calls her son’s real name in public, of course, so to the women, Claude remains “Claude” and Yuri is “my star”

Yuri and Claude bond over having to put up with Balthus’ milf-chasing lol

*Nader and Judith sip tea in the background*

Forbidden Tiana von Riegan design idea - since Anselma is often portrayed as brunette and Dimitri's mum as blonde, why not make Tiana a redhead to complete the trio

[waterbirdz]

Tiana von Riegan arriving at Almyra went like this.

She stepped into the castle, her lover proclaiming to his father their intent to be married. The king of course disagreed. As did everyone within the castle. They said that the prince was healing from the grief of his first wife’s passing. They said Tiana had tricked him, used her magic to enchant him.

Sick or being spoken over and disregarded, Tiana stepped forward with a simple proposition.

Anyone who disagreed with her marriage was to fight her. If she lost, even once, then the marriage wouldn’t occur. If she won then she would be welcomed.

News spread and for the following seven days Tiana fought day and night for the right to marry her lover.

Then, when all her opponents had been defeated and no one else dared to face her, the king stood and demanded one final duel. Between him and her.

Tiana was given a day to rest and heal up.

When her battle against the king arrived, she managed to win. Some say the king let her. Some say she used wicked magic to win.

Either way Tiana was declared victor and was allowed to marry the prince.

Some years later their child was born.

[quantumvaudeville]

Spent way too much effort drawing babby Claude and his mom today everybody. I have a lot of headcanons about his childhood and about her and there's a good chance I'll be inflicting them on all of you later.

[rakkiankh]

So this is a sequel to this post I did about Claude's supports in Three Houses. I've been compiling as much information about his backstory as I can since it wasn't as fleshed out as Dimitri and Edelgard's, and with the release of Three Hopes a lot more has been revealed about it.

I'm also including things that were revealed in developer interviews and the Cindered Shadows dlc that I just never added to the previous post.

Claude's actual name is Khalid, and he is the youngest known prince of Almyra. Despite having at least one older sibling he's the king's chosen heir

Claude's only known sibling is his older half brother Shahid, who openly hates him

Claude's father is not named and is referred to exclusively as the King of Almyra

Claude's mother is named Tiana von Riegan

Claude's uncle was named Godfrey von Riegan

Claude's grandfather was named Oswald von Riegan

Shahid is clearly desperate to gain his father's favor so he can be the next king of Almyra, but through his poorly thought out strategies and blatant want to start a war with Fodlan its also made quite clear he's a bad fit

Nader says that the King is very obvious in his favoritism, and that Claude is his clearly his favorite son. It's definitely contributed to how much Shahid hates his brother

When Claude first showed up to Fodlan it was completely out of the blue and at minimum all he had was a letter to Judith from his mother asking her to take care of him. Whether Oswald knew where Claude came from is uncomfirmed

It is confirmed that when he left he likely only told his mother and possibly Nader where he was going, because according to Nader the reason why Shahid was able to attack the border without interference is that the King has been busy worrying himself sick trying to figure out where Claude went

According to Nader, when he and the King were younger they used to sneak across the border and travel around Leicester to have a good time

A nameless npc states there is a story of the daughter of a certain noble falling in love with an Almyran prince during one such escapade, who then abandoned her house to return to Almyra with him and become his queen (this npc also says she doesn't believe it's true which appears to be the general consensus)

Almyra's terrain is made up of prairies, deserts, and mountain ranges

According to a nameless npc, the majority of Western Almyra speaks the same language as Fodlan, and even lacks a notable change in accent. Eastern Almyra mostly speaks is own separate language

Almyra has giant merchant ships that they use to trade with other countries, while Leicester doesn't. The Golden Deer manage to use a few in the war because apparently Nader just stuck the paperwork in the King's face while he was half asleep and he didn't even notice what he was signing

@jugdraldefender pointed a few things i missed in the tags so I'm editing them in, along with some others I forgot

After the chapter where Claude either leaves or is killed (Azure Moon and Crimson Flower specifically) an assassin can be found in Abyss that will tell Byleth about how his target was a prince that either got away or was killed, depending on your choice

During an optional paralogue in Golden Wildfire, Claude tells Judith that he's the Prince of Almyra. She takes it rather well and even stops calling Claude 'boy'

While most characters believe Claude's cover story that he's an offshoot from house Reigan who just happened to inherit a crest, Judith, Holst, and Balthus all could tell he was Tiana's son and comment on it several times

Outside of the optional paralogue the only one who ever figures out Claude's other side of the family is Balthus, who researches it for Count Gloucester. He never shares this information with him, but he does get Claude to promise to reintroduce Balthus to Tiana so he can get some closure over his first crush in exchange for his silence. Claude comments that he wonders if his father will get the chance to kill Balthus before Tiana does it herself

[lapinbunwrites]

I know with @fe-oc-week is over but I still have one oc left to talk about because she gives me so much brainrot. Art is a commission I had done by the lovely @/cathpunn on IG!

Day 1: Introductions

Her name is Amelia von Atalanta/Amelia Fraldarius and she is the second daughter of Baron Atalanta. She was born in a small village in the Alliance Territory.

She has a very crest called the crest of Atalanta, which hasn't been seen since the War of Heroes. It's a very powerful one where whatever emotion they are feeling, the weather changes and increases their magical ability by 25%. It also has a very big recoil, the more they use it, the more it does damage to her body.

Up until she went to the Officers Academy she was described as emotionless and as cold as Northern Faerghus winters. They do have a sharp tongue and can be very straightforward and blunt. She constantly kept her emotions to herself and in check. But when they left the academy and making new friends who saw her as human, she is a very kind, caring, and warm woman.

Amelia got a few nicknames, The Sword of the Alliance and The Winter Rose by people in the Alliance. The nicknames Rodrigue gave them was My Rose and Little Rose.

Her interests include new fighting techniques, eating new food and learning how to cook or bake them, and weapons. They like cooking, baking, sewing, singing, dancing with Rodrigue, and roses. Her dislikes are her father, her sister, Godfrey, Tiana, fighting, and hunting.

Day 2: Relationships

Godfrey: Amelia despises Godfrey. He never appreciated her and her work. He constantly overworked her and always gave her too many missions. They were always in his shadows with wits and tactics. No matter what they did, Godfrey would always criticizes their way of working and would often reprimand them. She never felt like she meant anything to him.

Tiana: Amelia despises Tiana. They never got along and were always fighting with each other. Every time Amelia did something, it always seemed like it was a plight against Tiana. They always found each other annoying but only put up with each other until something big happened in their lives. Amelia always was in the shadows of Tiana in beauty and her boundless cheer.

Judith: While Judith is Tiana's best friend, Amelia would do their best to avoid her, only talking to her when need be. They have a mutual understanding that they were to protect the Riegan family. They aren't very close and Amelia just thinks she is a nuisance that might get her in trouble with Tiana. Judith thinks of them as very lose friend that she wishes to be close with.

Erwin: Amelia hates Erwin with a passion. He would do anything to rile her up to get her mad and get them in trouble, not knowing the serious repercussions of his actions. He always ending up getting badly hurt, or something worse happened. Regardless, Erwin had so much fun making her mad or pranking her.

Duke Goneril: Duke Goneril was one of her closest, and only, friends growing up. Even with the five age year difference, they were pretty close up until adulthood. They would always confide in each other and always helped each other out when they could. Duke Goneril was one of the very few people who knew most of her secrets. They were like siblings.

Rodrigue: Their relationship at first was very rocky. This was mostly due to their differing opinion of knighthood. She didn't like his uptightness about knighthood and his retainership. Since she figured that she would be stuck with him because of the repercussions that would happen to her and her village, she put in the effort being his partner. And when he put in the effort in their relationship, they started to fall in love with each other and he became the love her life and the person she trusted the most.

Lambert: Amelia and Lambert are like siblings to each other. They trust each other very much and would protect each other. They both say their minds to each other without any judgement.

Seraphina: Seraphina was one of Amelia's first true friends after Seraphina realized that Amelia was always left out of things with her own class. They bonded rather quickly and became like siblings to each other.

Raven: Raven was another really close friends to Amelia. Raven was one of the few people who knew that Amelia had a crest and knew that she was engaged to Rodrigue. Sometimes they butt heads, but they are still very close.

Matthias: Matthias' and Amelia's relationship is that one-sided sibling rivalry that takes place. Matthias, for some reason, always tries to one up Amelia and she never knows why. They constantly has to reassure him that they are very aware of his skill set and is happy to know that they can put their faith him to protect people.

Glenn: Amelia loves her oldest son very, very much. Right around, and after, Glenn's birth, she was very worried about his health and well-being. They weren't ever on great terms with Rodrigue's mother as she was constantly having them both killed. Because of this, she became very protective of him. Glenn was attached to her hip, or Rodrigue's growing up, but later became more independent and Amelia couldn't be more proud of him. Amelia is a little concerned that Glenn got their sharp tongue and sarcastic nature. She could only wish he didn't put so much pressure on himself and does something fun and a little wild.

Felix: Amelia loves her baby boy and was really thrilled that he was born. They would do a lot together and he would tell her everything. She is always very concerned about his health since he is always reckless and always doing dangerous things. She wishes her youngest son could take it easy and relax every once in awhile.

Elena: Elena is one of the most trusted confidant that Amelia had gotten and they trust her with the Fraldarius secrets and inner-workings of the house. While that being said, Elena is like a daughter that Amelia never got and she tries to spoil and tells her that they care about her as much as they can.

Day 3: Backstory

Amelia was born the second daughter of Baron Atalanta. She was born in a small village in the Alliance Territory. Growing up they had a hard time making any friends so she spent much time by themself. They try to stay to themself as much as possible, keeping any and all secrets that she had about herself to themself. She was constantly bullied by the people around her so she learned to keep her emotions to herself and had a hard time expressing her emotions. They do have a sharp tongue, and can be straightforward and blunt. She also tries to keep her emotions in check because of her crest and doesn't want to disrupt the weather patterns and end up destroying the earth.

She never really had a good relationship with her family, not after their mother dying. Their father was a greedy man that would suck her people dry. He never gave them the time of day and only used them as a way to climb the social latter since they had a crest and his oldest daughter didn't. Their sister never cared for them and only saw them as a selfish greedy person getting what they wanted and always getting the best 'stuff.'

When Amelia was young, she would often stray from her village and she stumbled upon an exiled kingdom knight that was near death. She was able to get help and save his life. He tried his best to convince him to be her retainer, but it never worked. After a few more attempts, he became her main care giver. Only a few months later, she walked into the forest to find someone else injured and she was able to save his life. This ended up being the biggest change of fate for them. The man they saved was Godfrey von Riegan. He demanded that they be his retainer. She refused multiple times but ended up accepting after her father forcing her to. Because of this, they ended up becoming retainer for the whole Riegan family.

As she grew up, she was groomed to be the perfect person to be married off to a richer noble for her family's gain. Because of this, she was sent to the best schools, especially to the Officers Academy. This is where their father found the richest of nobles. Since he couldn't marry his child to the Prince of Faerghus, he went with the next best thing, the next Duke of Fraldarius, Rodrigue Achille Fraldarius. This led her to become close friends with the Faerghun nobles and made true friendships with them.

Being in a relationship with Rodrigue, and having the friendships she had with the Faerghun Nobles, made her feel loved and welcomed for the first time. Because of this, she was able to open up a lot more and her true personality came out. She was this kind, caring, and warm person. She also has this air of kind elegance that she had around people.

During her time in the Academy their territory was attacked and burned to ashes. They were the sole survivor of the attack. They were devastated because they were the sole protector of the village from bandits, their father, or anyone who attacked the village and everything they worked to make the place happy and prosperous, was gone. It took them a while to feel better.

When she got married, she still had many ups and downs. Her mother-in-law didn't treat her well. She only saw Amelia as a person who would give birth to children with crests and only ever said terrible things to her. Rodrigue did everything he could to make sure that the never interacted with each other. When Rodrigue and Amelia were twenty-two years old, they had their first child, Glenn. Amelia was especially concerned about his well-being.

When Rodrigue's mother found out Glenn was crestless, she knew that Rodrigue loved Amelia and Glenn with his whole heart, she knew that he would never leave them, so she would devise multiple plans to have them both killed. This led to Rodrigue usurping the Dukedom and banishing his mother from the territory. With one last failed attempt to kill them, Rodrigue ended up having to kill his own mother to save the family he truly loved.

By the time Felix was born, the family was happy and cheerful and excited the second son existed. They always wanted to give their sons better than what they did. They gave them so much love and warmth.

Day 4: Tragedy

Amelia had a few tragedies in their life. The loss of their village, no one left but them. The loss of their two friends, Seraphina and Raven. And the third one would be the loss of Glenn, Elena, and Lambert. The people they cared for the most, gone.

Day 5: Joy

Amelia had quite a few when she got into the academy and afterwards. Befriending Seraphina, Raven, Lambert, and Rodrigue. Giving her heart and love to Rodrigue and having his heart and love returned to her. Getting her betrothal gift from Rodrigue, it was a rose hair pin. Giving Rodrigue his betrothal gift, it is the cape that he wears in 3 Houses/3 Hopes. Amelia receiving her wedding ring that was imbued with special magic so she can show her emotions with out any repercussions, it is rose shaped. Their first date with Rodrigue at the beach in Derdriu. Rodrigue and Amelia's wedding day. The birth of their sons, Glenn and Felix.

Day 6: Supports

Amelia's supports would be with Godfrey, Tiana, Judith, Duke Goneril, Erwin, Lambert, Rodrigue, Matthias, Raven, and Seraphina.

With Godfrey:

This would be about her retainership with him and how she felt about people with the other classes. It also be about her being sent on missions.

With Tiana:

Tiana would probably talking to her about a few things. Talking about Amelia's appearance, about Tiana's new crushes, and Amelia supposedly doing something that's a plight against Tiana.

With Judith:

It would be about Amelia being sent on missions and trying to get things done and trying to get them to relax a little bit. It would also probably be about their friendship and how it's not great.

With Duke Goneril:

Duke Goneril would just try to check up on Amelia, making sure they are doing alright and they aren't trying to overwork themself. Also just Duke Goneril being overly doting towards little baby Holst.

With Erwin:

Just them yelling at each other and bickering about one thing or another. It would also be Erwin complaining about nobles, commoners, and his distaste of Godfrey.

With Lambert:

Amelia and Lambert would be talking a little bit out their countries and the differences between them. They would also talk about the plans of Faerghus and stuff about retainership. Lambert would also be doting over Amelia and tell her that she was appreciated.

With Rodrigue:

It would be about their future together and learning things about each other and each other's home. Doing whatever they can to show that they love each other and show that they appreciate one another. They would plan on doing things with each other no matter how small.

With Matthias:

They would talk about training techniques with each other and train a lot. Matthias would also have this weird competition with her and she never understood why.

With Raven:

They talk a lot about magic and trying to figure out how to keep their crest under-wraps and help them to control it and their emotions. There is also a lot of gossip between the two of them.

With Seraphina:

This would be about Seraphina trying to get Amelia to lighten up and to relax. It would also be about them figuring out sometime to hang out and bond to become more like sisters.

Day 7: Endings

There are going to be a few because holy heck Felix wants to be Felix.

With Felix living in Azure Moon/Azure Gleam with Rodrigue dying:

"Amelia felt a pain in her heart when she saw that her beloved son, Felix, returned with Rodrigue's body. Shortly after giving her husband a proper funeral, she stepped down as Duchess Fraldarius and gave the title of Duke to Felix. She lived the rest of her days happy with her son and his children. Future generations told stories of her as a kind Duchess, known for her warmth, kindness and her love of roses. She became a saint of warmth, roses, and protection throughout history."

With Felix dying in Azure Moon/:

"Amelia felt so much pain when both her beloved son and husband were returned to House Fraldarius. After giving them both a proper funeral, she had no reason to stay in Fraldarius. She renounced her title as Duchess, giving the title over to her brother-in-law, and disappeared from the halls of history. The only thing said about them was their ability to heal people after the war and their love of roses."

With Felix dead in Silver Snow/Verdant Wind/Crimson Flower, and alive in Crimson Flower:

"With no reason to live in Fraldarius much longer, Amelia stepped down as Duchess Fraldarius, giving the position over to her brother-in-law. Their wasn't much said about them other than her will to help those in need after the war and that she loved roses."

With Felix alive in Verdant Wind/Silver Snow:

"With no reason to live in Fraldarius, Amelia stepped down as Duchess Fraldarius, giving the position to her brother-in-law. They traveled with Felix in his mercenary band, making sure everyone was healed and better after the war. Her story was told as a saint for her warmth, protection, and roses."

With Felix and Rodrigue alive in Azure Gleam:

"Amelia was relieved that both her beloved husband and son returned home safe and sound. They threw a party in the territory to help raise spirits of those around them before starting to restore their territory. Some time during the restoration, Rodrigue and Amelia gave stepped down from their position, giving it to Felix. Amelia spent the rest of her life happy with her husband, son, and grandchildren. Stories were told of her as a kind Duchess, known to help those around her with warmth, protection, and roses. She also became a saint throughout history for warmth, protection, and roses."
