I Need to Talk About: Constance

Last post: I Need to Talk About: Linhardt

Oh ho ho ho ho!

It's time for the Queen!

Those Who Slither in My Brain continue to compel me to write about Fódlan. And who better to help me banish them then the Light of Rausten the heir to the greatest magical house the Empire has ever known, the one and only, Constance von Nuvelle!

Now, to get one thing out of the way. In all fairness, I can understand why some people's first impression of Constance is that she is a 2-note gimmick character (restore noble house + changing personality).

Fire Emblem has had plenty of gimmick characters, especially in older games where screen time was often limited to a brief quip or conversation on joining, and maybe a couple of support chains if you were lucky.

But Three Houses benefits from having evidently been written by a bunch of lore nerds, so that even characters who do have some sort of gimmicky feature--like flirting with everyone, loving sweets, loving your dad, drawing in monsters when sighing, or the ability to magically summon a band to play Funny Footsteps whenever surprised or scared--still have an opportunity for more depth.

And you will never convince me that the world-building writers(?) scenario writers(?) involved in 3H were not lore nerds. The detail in stuff like the books in the library goes way past what was needed to make the game work. And Three Hopes itself is totally a fanfic alt-history that just happened to get published as an official game.

So, no, Constance is no more a gimmick character than anyone else in the game. Her gimmicks are just a bit more in-your-face because that's Constance; she's in your face.

So who is Constance von Nuvelle?

You impertinent, uneducated scoundrel! Know you not of the singular heir to the House of Nuvelle? Ha! Well, worry not! For I, taramimeme-blog-blog, shall rectify your sorry state of ignorance!

...if I should dare to presume that my pitiful mind can hold even a fraction of the knowledge necessary to do justice to the likes of the esteemed Lady Constance von Nuvelle. I fear that I am certainly not qualified for the task, but I shall endeavor in my own pathetic way to do her justice.

I think Constance is a fascinating character. She's clearly whip-smart, and she's utterly brimming with confidence and drive to accomplish things, at least as long as she is out of the sun.

I think a lot of people focus more on her shady personality. It is a lot more fun. But I personally like to think that her sunny personality is equally true to her. Neither side is just the result of her curse. They both are exaggerations of what was already there within her.

This is all head-canon. The games don't ever clarify if she was more like her shady self, sunny self, or neither before the events that led to her being how she is now. But I find it the most satisfying explanation for reasons that hopefully will be clear as I explain more.

Constance grew up in a noble house that was famed for its magical prowess, and that had existed for a long time in the Empire, the oldest nation in Fódlan. I've always thought that, because of the Empire's long history, they would probably be the country to most heavily emphasize things like lineage, historical achievements, and displays of "culture". Like, out of the three nations, I would expect the Empire to have the most finicky rules for social etiquette, and to be the most judgmental when someone fails to meet those expectations.

In contrast, there are a lot of in-game comments, etc, that make it seems like Faeghus places the most emphasis on loyalty and military prowess. And Leicester is a barely-held-together coalition of competing houses, where it's possible for a great house to be removed from the Roundtable (see Judith's house, Daphnel) or to be added (Marianne's house, Edmund). Also, Marianne's adoptive father, Margrave Edmund, is implied to have risen in power due to his economic success as much as anything, and Leicester is described as having a strong merchant class, so I would expect the Alliance's culture to place a lot more emphasis on material success than other factors.

Coming back to the Empire, I would imagine that, while Constance was born to incredible privilege, hence her pride and determination, she was also born into the pressure cooker of expectations that is the noble life in the Empire, hence her self-doubt.

We see a little of this with Ferdinand too. He swings back and forth between stunning displays of confidence, and self-doubt when he is given any reason to question his achievements. Even his personal skill in game deactivates the moment he's taken a single point of damage!

There's also Bernadetta, whose pressures come from her overbearing and abusive father who wants her to live up to some gold-standard of noble-womaness. And perhaps even Linhardt would be less unwilling to take on his inherited position if his house were in the Alliance instead. It may be that inheriting a title in the Empire is particularly odious and filled with annoying responsibilities in a way that may not be quite as true in Leicester. (I don't mention Faeghus here just because Linhardt hates fighting, so the martial culture there would leave him just as badly out-of-sync, just in different ways.)

So Constance may have grown up being simultaneously showered in praise simply as a result of being a member of her house, and constantly found lacking, not because she particularly was lacking in anything, but simply because the standards were so high.

Add to that the fact that her house had a long history of being accomplished mages means that she has to be good at magic or she's failing to live up to expectations. Plus whatever weird pressure would come from her house's big secret. They've been hiding that they carry the Crest of Noa for the entirety of their existence.

And that's why I think that Constance may have always had bits of both of her personalities in her from the beginning. She is automatically great as a result of her birth, but acknowledgment of her worth is always conditional, based on her living up to the expectations society has for her.

If you look at a map of Fódlan, House Nuvelle is located on a peninsula that juts out to the west, far from the imperial capital, and somewhat removed from other houses that are listed on the maps I've seen. They were geographically isolated, as well as isolated by their desire to keep the secret of their crest, which limited their contact (especially intermarrying) with other houses.

And this was the seed of their downfall. From what I remember, it is implied in-game that Constance's family was killed when Dagda invaded. But it was only after that invasion that House Nuvelle was erased. I strongly suspect that they were used as a scapegoat for whatever went wrong in the war, and their lack of close allies among other noble houses hurt them there. Plus, the only remaining member of Nuvelle was a teenage girl, so it was probably especially easy for other houses to take advantage of the situation to increase their own relative power, not to mention that surely someone ended up gaining control of the Nuvelle lands and whatever wealth they contained.

So to add another factor to Constance's split personality, she was betrayed by the very noble system that had given her the opportunity to be great in the first place.

But to Constance's credit, she was resourceful enough to immediately pick herself up from her ENTIRE FAMILY DYING and losing her title and lands. We know that after the Dagda invasion, she went to the Fhirdiad Royal School of Sorcery.

I can't emphasize enough how amazing this turnaround is. She's like, 15 at the time. Her whole family has died. She's lost everything. And she grew up in a structured environment where she probably never really had to make any decisions about her future. She was a noble heir. She was going to inherit her house and continue the line, probably through an arranged marriage.

So for her to so quickly make a decision herself and carry it out...she was probably desperate, but she could have also just given in to despair.

I believe I'm correct that Constance also attended Garreg Mach's Officers Academy after leaving the school of sorcery, meaning that when she attends in the game's timeline, it's actually her second time studying there, much like with Yuri and Balthus.

But after that, she ends up living in Abyss. She had enough drive to go to two different schools, but I would also imagine that she may have been at a loss as to what to do after that. As a noble, her upbringing almost certainly didn't prepare her for doing any sort of job search, and I could imagine her feeling lost once she's finished the structured path of studentry. She's like the person who finished their PhD and didn't become a professor, and is now thinking, well, now what do I do?

It isn't ever really explored, but I also imagine that Constance has a very unique perspective on nobles and commoners. She has been both. (In-game, she starts as the "noble" class, but I think that is more a sign of her dogged insistence on still being a true noble. In practice, her house is gone and she's a commoner.)

The only other characters with similar experiences would probably be Mercedes, Yuri, Ashe, and Balthus.

Mercedes is the most similar. Her original house was disbanded, like Constance's, though she did end up in another noble house after her mother remarried. But in the end, she and her mother ran from that house too, and Mercedes was adopted by a merchant, becoming a commoner. The biggest difference between Mercedes and Constance though, is that Mercedes ultimately ended up in a merchant household, so while she lost noble status, she still had access to the status and wealth of a merchant. And Mercedes never had to act on her own or make her own decisions, which is reflected in how passive she is in regards to what will happen to her in her life. This contrasts with Constance, who has been forced to act on her own, and has learned to be more proactive in making decisions.

Yuri started as a commoner, was adopted into a noble family, and then expelled from the nobility, so he's seen both sides too. However, his original status was commoner, and he seems not particularly attached to the nobility, being much more interested in furthering the interests of the commoners he works with in his gang.

Ashe too, started as a commoner, then was adopted into nobility. He never became a noble for some reason (maybe because Faerghus is strict about crests and inheritance) but he has learned to idolize the noble system, even though it appears he will never be able to join it as a member. At best, he can become a knight serving a lord.

Balthus also is classified as a "noble" in game, but he has relinquished his title and is living as a commoner for all practical purposes. (Plus, his mother is a commoner.) It's hard to say what his attitude is towards the nobility aside from finding the responsibilities that come with it unpleasant, and being perfectly happy to abandon it all.

I don't think Balthus thinks too hard about things like "What does it mean to be a noble or a commoner?"

So while there are some other characters who have also experienced both sides of the noble/commoner divide, none of them have quite the same experience or perspective that Constance does.

I would imagine that Constance is very aware of the rot within the noble system. Even in-game, she is shown as bearing a lot of bitterness towards the Empire, and she reacts harshly to Ferdinand when she thinks he is pitying her current situation.

But she doesn't generally speak badly of the nobility out-loud, and her goal is to rejoin it. I would imagine that, in private, she probably has plenty of bad things to say about nobility and nobles. Hapi has probably heard it all. And since the Church and the nobility are so intertwined, Hapi and Constance have definitely bonded over "Fuck the Church". You know those two are shit-talking all the more stuck-up nobles when they're on their own.

Constance refrains from outwardly criticizing the noble system because she does recognize that getting back in is her best ticket to living a good life again. She has personally experienced the desperation of losing everything, and she knows how precarious her situation is if she can't regain her title.

(I want to take a moment to also bring to mind her A Support with Hapi, with the "mean girls" scene. After defending herself and Hapi, when the other women leave, Constance disparagingly refers to them as "callow noblewomen" and "classless". She knows their type, maybe she even was one at one point in her life, but at the very least she's probably met plenty of them. They think they're better than anyone because of their status, and their adherence to an arbitrary system of manners. Oh, but I mostly wanted to bring up this support because Constance finishes by telling Hapi that she expects her "to keep me company well into my dotage"!!!! Aahhh!!! They're so married!!!!)

So Constance is fascinating! She has endless confidence, and endless self-doubt. She hates the bad parts of the noble system, but she wants to get back in. She continues to maintain the proper decorum that was probably drilled into her from her youth, but she's also open and flexible enough to adapt to a lifestyle as a commoner: messily holding fish in her hands (*gasp*) and biting directly into it (*gasp*) whilst sitting with a nobody, from-nowhere, got-no-connections, not-even-a-copper-to-her-name like Hapi (*sounds of noble bodies hitting the floor as they faint*).

Who is worthy of associating with the likes of our Lady of Nuvelle?

I've already mentioned Lysithea, Linhardt, and dearest Hapi in previous posts, so I want to look at some others.

Leonie

I'm thinking about these two because they have ZERO interactions in either game, and I think there could be some interesting dynamics.

Constance would definitely, definitely be off-putting to Leonie at first. Leonie has like, negative 100 patience for Lorenz's shit when she's first getting to know him, and she would probably immediately throw Constance into the same bucket category of "stuck up asshole".

Constance would also likely try to be "helpful" with Leonie in the same way she does with Hapi, attempting to teach Leonie "proper behavior". With Hapi, Constance's words just roll off her back and she isn't even bothered. I think it's a combination of Hapi's general lackadaisical attitude, but also the fact that she probably has actually had very little experience with being discriminated against by nobles. There's a good chance she never even met a noble until coming to Garreg Mach.

Leonie, on the other hand, is very aware of what nobility means, and what it means that she's a commoner. She complains about all the taxes her village has to pay the local nobility despite not seeing any direct benefit from it. And she also complains about how, as a commoner, she basically needed to present a bribe to a noble to be recommended to go to Garreg Mach. (I like to imagine that this is a tradition unique to money-obsessed Leicester.)

So Constance's attempts to teach Leonie how to behave properly would REALLY not go over well. Leonie would interpret it as Constance looking down on her.

If these two could somehow get past that though, they could have a mutually-beneficial relationship.

Both of them are concerned with money. Leonie has never really had any, and has gone into debt to her whole village to attend Garreg Mach. Constance evidently didn't lose all of her wealth, somehow. Maybe she was able to keep some more portable things like gold even after she lost her house. But she's now attended two different schools, and has never had a job as far as we know, so she is probably slowly spending down what she still has. Plus, Constance wants to be successful in magical research in order to restore her name, and she needs funding to do that.

Leonie is very enterprising about how to save money. She never wastes anything, and we learn in-game that she does things like make her own soap, and reuse scrap paper. Constance is driven enough by her goals that, I guarantee that she would be open to learning about things like this. I'm sure she doesn't like that she has to do it, but being successful is more important to her than the details of how she gets there. If she needs to make her own materials in order to save money for magical research, then she'll learn to do that.

Leonie could also teach Constance how to fish, hunt, forage, and cook. The hunting might be a stretch. Constance might not ever be very good at it, but the other two are good ways for her to make herself more self-sufficient.

What can Constance teach Leonie? Well, if Leonie can be open to it, she probably can find value in learning some basics of the rules of noble society from Constance. Leonie wants to be a mercenary, so she doesn't need to make a deep dive, but she does at least need to learn how to communicate with potential employers in a way that won't turn them off from her, or outright insult them. Leonie has probably not had many, if any, opportunities to interact with nobles before coming to Garreg Mach. Her village is isolated, and I would imagine that when they send their taxes to the local nobility, it is probably done with a delegation of village leaders. Since Leonie left when she was still a teenager, she may not have ever been in that delegation, even though her father probably is since he's a leader in the village.

Plus, plus! Constance is from the Empire, not the Alliance. She might have a lot to teach Leonie about the specifics of manners and ceremony there. And I've already theorized that the Empire might be even more stodgy than the Alliance is. And mercenaries go where the work is. Leonie wouldn't want to limit herself to staying in Leicester.

I also think that, like Lorenz, Constance could be an important example to Leonie of how not all nobles disparage commoners. Even more than Lorenz, Constance is willing to see the flaws in the noble system, and as we see with Hapi, she is willing to genuinely befriend a commoner, and to even become a BRF (Best "Roommates" Forever) with one.

Again, I think that Constance shits on the annoying nobles behind their backs. Get her and Leonie together with a couple of drinks and let them rip into all the snobs they have to deal with.

Would they make a good romantic couple? It might be hard to see the vision, but it is extremely sexy to see the vision, so let's see it. With Leonie, Constance is never lifting another finger to do any manual labor. Leonie is carrying her princess to bed when she passes out at her desk after a long night of research. Constance meanwhile, being extra in all things she does, will worship Leonie and praise her big, strong wife until she has used every positive word in every dictionary ever printed scribed in Fódlan.

Hilda

I've brought up Hilda a lot in previous posts. I like her a lot, but I hope I don't run out of people to talk about with her before I get to giving her her own post.

At any rate, Hilda and Constance seem like they could initially bond over stuff like fashion, and which scents are most appropriate for which occasions. Hilda definitely likes that stuff, and Constance has got to be knowledgeable about it too. I'm sure she has a collection of season-appropriate scents for her folding fans. (Fun fact: Using an appropriate scent on a folding fan was seen as a sign of good upbringing among Japanese nobility.)

But they also have some crossover in their mixed attitudes towards the nobility. Hilda wants to be free of the expectations and responsibilities that come with being a potential heir. Constance knows from first-hand experience that not all nobles uphold the ideals that they're supposed to on paper.

Unlike Hilda though, Constance is willing to take on those obligations again if it means she can once again have access to power.

So here's a funny thought. If they were friends, I could see Hilda setting Constance up with her brother, Holst.

Hilda knows Constance is driven and smart. Hilda's brother isn't a total meat-head like his good friend Balthus, but he still seems like the type to be very straightforward, and maybe not very detail oriented when it comes to day-to-day administrative tasks and the complexities of Alliance politics. Hilda really doesn't want to have to take on the responsibilities of heading Goneril herself, so she might like the idea of her brother having a wife who will make sure Goneril is well-run. Holst has the military stuff totally under control, so no one's worried about that, and with Constance at his side, House Goneril is in good hands. This frees Hilda to fuck off and do what she wants! Plus, she gets to have fun with her good friend whenever she visits her brother!

As an extra bonus, Constance herself is a handful, so she'll keep Holst busy and out of Hilda's hair.

I know, I know...I just Alois-MByleth-S-supported you all. I'm sorry.

So let's think about Constance and Hilda together themselves. It could very well work! Well rather, Constance would work. Hilda would relax and stay pretty for her wife.

With Constance at her side, Hilda might even be willing to become the heir to House Goneril (on paper at least) since she could rely on Constance to do the actual work of running things.

These two would be the fashionista, trend-setters of Leicester if this ever came to be! Imagine the grand entrance Constance makes at each and every Roundtable conference, fully decked out in the latest By Hilda™ brand accessories, a gentle tinkling of metal sounding every time she turns her head to scoff at Claude's latest proposition to vote on.

"My dear Riegan! You propose an increase in the funding for the combined Leicester forces!? Have you forgotten the contribution that House Goneril has already made in pure manpower during the last repairs of the East Derdriu Bridge!? You would have us do even more!? You scoundrel! I am aghast at your blatant attempts to bleed House Goneril dry!"

Hilda, meanwhile, is sitting off to the side, her feet up. She isn't technically needed there since Constance is representing her house, but she wants to see the show. Claude is forcing a smile and trying to get concessions out of Constance. Lorenz is throwing death glares Hilda's way. "These conferences were hard enough even before you turned over your duties to this woman!" he thinks.

On a more serious note, Hilda is very perceptive and caring, and loves to encourage people. I think she would very understanding of Constance's sunny side. But also with Hilda fussing over her, Constance will never be subjected to sun exposure ever again. Important ceremony to attend? Hilda's making sure that every path Constance has to walk is covered, and any platforms or podiums she has to stand on will be fully shaded no matter the time of day or the angle of the sun. What's that? An important noble visitor has arrived suddenly? Hilda's got an assemblage of servants with parasols out and ready before Constance even has time to set foot outside.

Annette

Or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Magic Bomb.

Constance and Annette bond over their shared love of magic. However, the combination of Constance's overconfidence and risk-taking behavior with regards to experiments, and Annette's general clumsiness and tendency to get distracted means that they somehow manage to backwards engineer the technology of the Shambala missiles from scratch, but also set them off, thereby ending all of Fódlan.

Sothis sighs and dusts herself off. "Fooey! Do I have to create life again! This time around, I'm making them all too dumb to invent stuff!"

But putting continent-wide, life-ending disaster aside, I think these two would make excellent friends, although they're kind of bad for each other's health. Neither is going to remember to go to bed or drink water once they get started on a topic, but they will accomplish a lot.

Annette seems like she would be so happy as a teacher, maybe at a restored Garreg Mach Academy. She can use her connections to get Constance a position as a researcher. Constance will do the occasional lecture, and it will be a blast for all the students who like it when stuff blows up.

If they were a romantic couple, Annette is the one who defends them. She may only have 153 cm (5'0") of height and like, 50 kg (110 pounds) of weight (after a full glass of water), but she is the daughter of a Faerghus military house, and she is ready to fight! Constance, meanwhile, is a proper lady from the generally more stuffy Empire nobility, so even though she can fight too, she's happy to play the part of the distressed noble lady whose honor is being defended by her incredibly powerful partner. She's very good at it; punctuating the air with occasional gasps of "Oh my!" and "Such beastly behavior!" and throwing her hand up (gracefully) to her forehead before declaring that her noble nerves are frayed and she may just faint! (Uh, but she'll step in if she has to, like if Annette's opponent gets up on a tall chair out of her reach.)

Ok, ok. I've stuffed enough non sequitur jokes into run-on sentences for now. I really do think that these two would make a wonderful couple, or very good friends.

Like I said above, both of them seem like the types to get really into something and forget everything else, and I think that would help them to understand each other and not get angry about the others' forgetfulness. Constance seems like the type to get on certain people's nerves, but Annette would not be bothered by her, even from the beginning. She'd be too focused on excitedly talking shop with a fellow magic enthusiast.

And Constance's confidence in the shade is something she could share with Annette. My interpretation of Annette is that I think she has very low self-confidence. She doesn't mope around a lot, so it's not as obvious as some other characters. But we see hints of it, for instance, in her support chain with Lysithea. She seems to have a bad case of impostor syndrome, and doesn't think she can stack up to everyone else.

As for why Annette is like this, she has spent her life being a little scatter-brained, a little forgetful, and maybe never quite living up to the expectations of her hyper-masculine, military driven culture. Add in to that the fact that she may have felt some guilt or responsibility when her father left. (Was it because I wasn't a good enough daughter?)

But Constance will hear none of it! She knows Annette is smart and accomplished, and she will not allow Annette to put herself down!

Annette then can do the same for Constance if she has to spend time in the sun. Annette knows what it's like to feel like you aren't good enough, and she's going to make sure Constance knows her own worth, even when she's most down on herself!

Hanneman

I mentioned in my last post that I haven't touched on non-students as much, so let's take a look at Constance and Hanneman.

I'll put it out there right away. I don't see romantic potential. That's a big age gap. But like with some of the other more magically inclined students, Constance has a lot of potential as a sort of apprentice to Hanneman.

And it would be hilarious.

You think Manuela drives Hanneman crazy with her sloppiness and forceful personality? Oh, Constance will be in major competition with Manuela for the might-send-Hanneman-to-an-early-grave spot.

First off, I think she is going to aggressively seek him out. He's known as an eminent researcher, and Constance has shit she wants to get done in her limited time at Garreg Mach.

(Although, like I mentioned way above, I'm pretty sure that Yuri, Balthus, and Constance are all attending Garreg Mach for the second time when you play through the game. Isn't it weird that neither Hanneman nor Manuela are like, wait, I remember you! You're back? In Balthus's case, maybe Manuela wouldn't have met him. She hasn't been at Garreg Mach for quite as long as Hanneman, but then again, there are other reasons why Balthus and Manuela should have interacted in-game...)

So Constance hunts Hanneman down. She finds him in his office, in the library, and even when he's hiding from her in Seteth's office so he can get some reading done. She comes up with a magical Hanneman-tracking device so that she can find him at any time.

Why? Well, she wants to utilize his expertise to help move her own education and research along. And she hopes that if she makes a good impression on him, she can also get a recommendation to somewhere where she could continue her research after graduation. Or perhaps, she can even continue as a researcher under Hanneman, right here at Garreg Mach!

And it's not that Hanneman thinks Constance isn't worthy of his attention. He recognizes that she's brilliant AND driven (unlike Linhardt, whom Hanneman would love to have as an apprentice, but who temperamentally shows up or doesn't whenever he feels like it).

But Constance is a bit much for Hanneman. And on least one occasion she has excitedly shown up at his personal quarters, knocking on the door at 3:00 am (How did she even get past the guards at the entrance to the staff housing?) because she discovered something just so important that it couldn't wait until the next morning! What do you mean it's too late? The progress of magical research shall not be stopped by the pathetic hands of a clock!

Perhaps Constance's best "in" is to reveal the secret of her crest to Hanneman. Suddenly, I bet his schedule empties out a whole lot.

But I think she would win him over eventually (or wear him down, either works). Hanneman is totally dedicated to his field. He took the unusual move of renouncing his peerage so that he could focus on being a professor and studying crests. And his reasons for doing so are very tragic, if you've ever read his support chain with Edelgard. Hanneman, it turns out, is not fond of the crest-based nobility system. His sister suffered because of it, and what does he have with Constance? He has another young woman, like his sister, who has suffered from the system.

Given the clash of their personalities, with Hanneman being quiet and stuffy, and Constance being loud and chaotic, it might take a while before they trusted each other enough to open up about their pasts.

But then again, loud and chaotic is only one half of Constance. Maybe the opportunity to get to know each other better would come sooner if Hanneman had the opportunity to meet Constance in the sun. It would require him to put down his books and instruments and go outside, but, well, he has to eat sometimes, right?

I think Hanneman would see his sister in Constance in the way the crest system has chewed both of them up and spit them out. And seeing how deeply it has affected and hurt her would allow him to sympathize with her, and to learn to tolerate the aspects of her personality that would otherwise push him away from her.

Perhaps Hanneman would never quite want to take Constance on as an apprentice. It might be a bit much for his heart. But he would encourage her and assist her when she was a student, and he would take extra care to make sure that she finds a position where her genius is utilized after graduation. He knows the disadvantages of trying to research while not being part of a noble house, and he's going to use whatever connections he still has at the Empire, or within the Church, to make sure that she is able to continue on her path.

...her own path that leads her away from knocking on his door every day with new questions and discoveries. He is quite happy to answer all of her letters that she sends from her new position far away from Garreg Mach though.

Conclusion? Already? But you have barely begun to even touch on the many facets of the great, the only, Constance von...

Yeah, but I gotta stop it somewhere. Relax, Coco, you'll come up again when I touch on other characters in the future.
