Quote 1: "I've been waiting for this!" - Akihiko Sanada, Persona 3
Quote 2: "You're just a corpse who doesn't know he's dead" - Valter, Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
Propaganda (Possible Spoilers):
Quote 1: This line has been meme'd to death, and for good reason, but this line becomes incredibly sad after Shinji's death because it shows how Akihiko is struggling to cope with his best friend's death. brb gonna go sob uncontrollably - Mod Chaos
Quote 2: Valter has a lot of really fun lines but this one goes the hardest. He says it to Seth as Seth is fleeing with Eirika. Valter has the upperhand, he just invaded the capital and killed the king. It's such an excellent threat to two people fleeing from the horrors of war, especially because Valter actively hunts them. That is truly how he feels about Seth. Also because Valter is a cocky bastard. - Submitter

Profile
Name: Aphina
Gender: F (cis, she/her)
Class: Assassin -> Unique Class
A pleasant individual to be around, save the occasional dark gleam in her eye. Whenever it's pointed out, however, she tends to brush it off. A girl with short hair in a family of long-haired men.
Appearance and Personality
Middling in height with naturally long hair, she cuts those locks to mid-length as a way of distinguishing herself from her family. Definitely has some of the curliest hair of her folks though, and Kano had to fight her hair color to keep it from making her look like a morph with those golden eyes.
Her brand, like her older brother's is located on her neck, but it's actually high enough that her collar doesn't hide it. She doesn't really care though since it's on the back specifically—if someone catches a glimpse of it, what are they going to do about it? This is precisely what's she been trained for; Aphina isn't afraid of anyone.
Generally tries to appear unassuming at first glance, but she's inherited the act of keeping a bit of distance from her peers. Doesn't share Valter's aversion to vulnerability at least. Far from an open book (especially when it comes to the topic of her past), but she has faith in other people. (What a dangerous thing to have.)
But next: she's a charming gal! Warm smiles and always seems to say the right things, easily getting what she wants from other people. Aphina learned the art of manipulation when she was rather young, though it never quite worked on her fathers. (Sephiran would play along, at least; Valter was not so kind in that regard.) Quickly became dangerously good though—in less questionable circumstances, perhaps this would've been hindered rather than fostered.
Despite her friendly disposition, she spends a lot of her time in solitude, citing that it helps her focus when she trains. In actuality, she's just a massive introvert, but such an admission feels to her like it would break her well-crafted facade.
History
Much like her older brother, she learned to be wary and cautious of others. Unlike him, however, she never quite internalized them; Aphina was always a fairly observant child, and she sought to question them and their validity before thinking to take them to heart. Fatally, a stranger once showed her an act of kindness while she was young, and while she does not remember exactly what it was, she does remember the feeling—and with that recollection, she resolved that her parents were wrong.
Kept that thought much to herself though, of course, instead fighting those ideas quietly. This is what led to her routinely cutting her hair, and though she still spent much time with her family, she also spent a great deal of time alone.
Combat
In her silent rebellion, she refused to take up her fathers' weapons, instead taking up daggers and anima magic. Though she'll primarily use blades in combat, she won't squander a victory simply to preserve the wild card that is her magical abilities.
Adding on: those who recall her cheerful and positive demeanor would notice an immediate shift once combat begins: this is because she realized once when she was younger that she liked to hurt others, and to avoid the consequences of such an indulgence, Aphina instead chooses to shut off her emotions when fighting. Though it mostly works, some can note an odd gleam in her eye as she fights, as though dealing with an ancient curse.
Aside from fighting on the front lines, she also functions as a bit of a tactician. By getting to know her allies so intimately, she can better judge their aptitudes and relations to others, and thus use that to secure a victory.
Summary
Though she recognizes that there are people with bad intentions, she also wants to believe that there are some who can be good as well. As such, she begins encounters with strangers by determining as quickly as she can what their values are—what it is they believe and how far they will take those ideas.
Following that train of thought: the map where Aphina is recruited would have her posing as a helpless civilian in the midst of a battle between the lord's army and an enemy force (could be people, could be monsters). While she would be completely willing to take injuries herself, if any harm befalls any of the actual villagers, she'll reveal her capabilities and take care of it herself, locking off the ability to recruit her.
Following a successful recruitment: she feels no remorse about having to fight her fathers. While Aphina isn't confident that she could beat both of them (or even just one) alone, if she had to face them in combat, she would still give it her absolute all. Unique quotes against both, but no consequences for her dealing the final blow save for some unique death dialogue. Only has platonic paired endings. Completely content to go it alone.

Lyon trying to trick Priam into becoming one of Fomortiis' servants, only to give up once he realizes Priam has too much experience and knows that any offer of easy power always comes with a terrible cost, deciding to go look for someone more guillible>>>Lyon being a perfect guy with no flaws and whose main trait is simping for the Renais twins; never thought i'd have to praise the Awakening Spotpass nostalgia-bait chapters of all things, but Heroes certainly has a way of setting bars unbelievably low.
TBH,
For some characters, the FE13 spotpass/DLC stuff has better characterisation than FEH!
Or...
FEH wants to sell alts, when FE13 wanted to sell "nostalgia" (that's totes why i bought all those packs back then lol), so FE13 could be close to the source material than FEH who wants you to feel bad for Lyon and his tragedy, thus buy alts where he's happy or lives his dream of being a "friend" to the twins.
IDK if FE13 Lyon was Lyon or already Fomortiis or whatever, but it's indeed more interesting to have him be the one who wants power at all costs - even if he had nice intentions (save the world, become the twins's friend) - and destroys everything he once hold dear (the twins, Grado, the world).
As my favourite FEH character says :
Lyon:
“Thank you, Eirika. You were always…so kind. The Demon King will claim my flesh as a vessel for his resurrection. Before that can happen…I want you to kill me. I’m sorry, Eirika. I’m already-“
Evil Lyon:
“Oh, please…Are you done turning your failings into some sad epic of personal tragedy… It’s time we started then. I have a ritual to complete…and some nuisances to kill.”
As long as they can make money, Heroes will continue to uwufy characters, regardless of canon (see Reinhardt).
But I stand with Fomortiis here, Canon!Lyon's failings led to his resurrection, it's not an epic tragedy, it's, at its core, the story of someone who wanted to rely on "cheap" power to gain everything he desired, and who was arrogant enough to believe he could count on and master said "cheap" power.
(cheap as in an easy way to get power)
