Originally, this only covered information from the Nintendo Today app, but recently Nintendo of America and Europe have started sharing on their social media accounts.
Quick links: World | Cai etc. | Ultand | Mikaela | Dietrich | Lysander | Lilian
31st July: Theodora
Via Nintendo of Europe etc.
As the queen of Saramis, Theodora has nothing but loyalty to her kingdom. Her wish for winning the Heroic Games: to fulfil a long-held dream of her homeland.
Theodora’s faction is officially Megaira’s Beacon. Beacon and Torch are synonymous. Also, I noted earlier that in Japanese, the mythological “Magaera” is spelled slightly different compared to the “Megaera” used in Theodora’s faction. Usually it’s spelled Megaira. Which is rather ironic, considering that’s the name the English version is using.
30th July: Lilian
Via Nintendo Today.
English VA: Stephanie Wong
An archer with reliable aim who is particularly adept at attacking enemies who are unable to counter.
Likes: Gold coins, gemstones, older men

Note: Please check Lilian’s Twitter post for more info!
Our best look at the new ornius rider.
Now that the quality’s better, the “gun turret” looks like a lever instead. But there’s no special icon on the map, so maybe it’s just decoration? Like the pipes and stuff.
English names for Lilian’s weapons. Tempest Bow and Horsekiller Bow are new.
Lilian’s skills. Slightly different compared to the Twitter post. She lost the 6th skill and gained the frequently appearing skill in her 3rd slot (something to do with Avoid and Hit rate).
First and last skill are officially Safety First and Upper Hand.
29th July: Lysander
Via Nintendo Today.
English VA: Howard Wang
An excellent knight who uses his speed in battle. He excels at closing the distance and striking first.
Likes: Skygazing, dining with women
Interests: Crafting throwing sticks, going on long rides

Note: Please check Lysander’s Twitter post for more info.
Slightly clearer look at the new blue-haired ornius rider. Image from the Japanese video.
When Lysander moves next to Theodora, a battalion minus button prompt appears. This icon also appears as a skill during the combat forecast. However, neither Theodora or Lysander have a battalion right now, so not sure if it’ll do anything.
Lysander’s foe is a Har Hali Warrior. Makes sense. However, unlike the Bahr Vahr’s Soldier or Lechner’s Soldier, there’s no possessive form, so Har Hali is probably the name of a place or their tribe, rather than a person.
The skill with a horseshoe icon is officially Racing Attack. Also, Lysander is wearing the default Light Cavalry outfit, instead of his unique outfit. Not the first time we’ve seen characters swapping outfits in the same class.
Back on the map, Lysander’s Speedtaker-like skill is named Accelerate.
29th July: Dietrich
Shared by Nintendo of Europe etc.
Originally hailing from Fódlan, Dietrich’s only desire is to battle the most powerful enemies he can find.
Dietrich’s faction is officially House Lamine. In the Japanese version, it was slightly more vague. Could’ve been Lamine Clan/Family instead.
28th July: Mikaela
Via Nintendo Today
English VA: Marie Westbrook
A strict yet kind soldier skilled in close combat. She can read her opponents and score hits with ease.
Likes: Moving her body, looking after others
Interests: Cooking, baking, brewing coffee

Note: Please refer to Mikaela’s Twitter post for more info.
Clearer look at the skills. Mikaela lost two skills compared to the Twitter Post, including Axe Prowess and the one with a crossed sword and axe icon. The first two seem to be her personal skills.
These skills are Veteran’s Mettle and Redblade’s Will. The Twitter account explicitly stated that the first skill is a personal skill. Meanwhile the second skill–which is Ironblood in the Japanese version, taken from “Mikaela the Ironblood”–doesn’t make sense unless it’s a personal skill. Unless there are multiple people whose nickname is Ironblood.
In Three Hopes, characters had three personal skills, although that was a different type of game.
After defeating the enemy, Mikaela gains 30 exp, which is a lot more than the 10 exp from the Twitter post.
27th July: Ultand
Via Nintendo Today.
English VA: Rachel Rial
A fiercely kind young woman who is proficient in battling foes as well as healing allies.
Likes: Looking after others, her family, housekeeping, love stories
Interests: Saving money, wandering around marketplaces
Credits to tipperthescales for the video.
Note: Please refer to Ultand’s Twitter post for more info.
Clearer look at the icons near the minus prompt.
Skipped the healing part from the Twitter post.
Underworld Monsters are simply “Undead”. Well, it’s straight to the point.
Lost a skill compared to the Twitter post.
Also, I didn’t realise initially, but the Skellion’s class is still Skellion even though they’re riding an ornius.
In that case, what class was the Skellion in Bonaventure’s showcase? Probably a Gladiator or Myrmidon.
Ultand gains 38 exp, a big increase from 16 exp.
Also, her victory quote “In the name of Aurora” is more evidence that Aurora–the name of the temple that Ultand serves–is the name of a goddess.
27th July: Cai etc.
Shared by Nintendo of America, Europe etc. and Fire Emblem Facebook account.
Cai is a kind-hearted young boy hailing from Ribeira Village. Vowing to win the Heroic Games, he plans to wish for his imprisoned father to be freed.
We learn that Cai’s father has been imprisoned. Also, Cai’s faction is officially the Ribeira Winds.
The official Fire Emblem Facebook account changed their cover photo and profile picture.
(Original posts: Cover photo, profile picture)
Very interesting that they changed their profile picture to Eshmel, who we basically know nothing about.
