This article is a combination of the Fortune’s Weave information from the Japanese Twitter account, Nintendo Today and other social media accounts.
Update: Due to my busy schedule, this article won’t receive additional updates until 10th August at the earliest.
Quick links: Mu | Olympia | Nathan
4th August: Creek
Nathan’s partner.
English VA: Willow Engel | Japanese VA: Toshiki Iwasawa
A general of the Kingdom of Arago, known for his sharp intellect and toughness. He and the red knight Nathan are the “Twin Jewels of Arago”, famous throughout Dagda. He’s cynical and treats everything with a skeptical attitude.
Likes: Green armour received from the king, beautiful women, researching military strategies
A cunning general with outstanding tactical abilities. He fights defensively and toys with enemies.
Likes: The green armor he received from the king, beautiful women
Interests: Researching military strategies, enjoying the arts
A scene from a certain battlefield. The Queen of Saramis and the Twin Jewels of Arago are locked in a back-and-forth battle.

Creek appears as an enemy at the Heroic Games. Riding on horseback, he toys with enemies with his dazzling swordsmanship.
Profile
We saw a bit of Creek’s personality in Nathan’s video, but it’s funny how Nathan is basically as Cain as you can get, while Creek’s personality is very different to Abel’s, despite being the archetype.
Creek’s love of beautiful women is what surprised me the most. I’m curious if he’d get along with Sirocco (who likes all women) or Esmeralda (loves handsome men).
Dialogue
This time, the dialogue scene posted on Twitter and Nintendo Today are different.
Theodora cutscene
Nathan: I assume you are the Queen of Saramis! I am Nathan, knight of Arago!
Creek: And I, Creek, as well! Your life is ours!
Theodora: Going two on one against a woman… I see Arago’s knights have no shame!
Nathan: Oh!
Creek: Keep it together, Nathan! As long as we get this woman, victory is ours!

Two things. Firstly, Nathan and Creek seem fairly plot important to feature in at least two cutscenes. First the one at the Heroic Games versus cat mask and now fighting Theodora.
Two, this is probably the same cutscene from the debut trailer. The sky and the desert look very similar. Also, after Theodora wrecks the enemy, she evades a lance attack. Notice the design of the lance.
It’s the same one wielded by Creek.
Heroic Games
Creek notices the gold mask worn by the cat mask person. He remarks that the gold is “deiform”, which means the mask is crafted from divine gold. Plus he calls cat mask a priest, just like Ultand and Olympia. So cat mask probably serves a temple?
Besides that, by “chancellor” is he referring to the chancellor of his own country, Arago, or a different chancellor? We know that Lysander’s uncle is the chancellor of Saramis, for example. But Arago and Saramis are different countries–and probably not on the best terms, considering Theodora was fighting them in the above cutscene.
Now I can finally stop calling her cat mask person! Her name is Orchel. Also, I didn’t quite realise from Nathan’s video, but Orchel is shorter than I expected.
Gameplay
Transcript
Creek: Now, come at me from any angle. I’ll show you the power of a knight of Arago.
Mikaela: I still… have things to do… so…

Same map as Nathan’s gameplay’s video. Also, it continues straight afterwards. You can see that Nathan has already defeated Fabio, plus another cavalry unit has moved.
Creek engages Mikaela, triggering a battle conversation.
At the start of combat, Mikaela triggers Veteran’s Mettle, while Creek triggers Knights’s Vanguard.
Mikaela has an Iron Axe, while Creek has a Flyssa, an anti-Armour sword that Dietrich had in the debut trailer.
Mikaela is defeated and retreats from battle. Oops, they lost two units in one map… There’d better be a rewind, otherwise I’d restart. Unless the units come back afterwards, of course.
3rd August: Nathan
A neutral faction.
English VA: Matt Silver | Japanese VA: Makoto Kaneko
A valiant general of the Kingdom of Arago, who boasts great offensive power. He and the green knight Creek are the “Twin Jewels of Arago”, famous throughout Dagda. He’s deeply loyal and so straightforward he’s almost naïve.
Likes: Red armour received from the king, being loyal, all forms of battle training
A general worth a thousand men. He boasts great offensive power and leads from the front.
Likes: The red armor he received from the king, being loyal
Interests: All forms of battle training
A scene just before a match at the Heroic Games. Dietrich is extremely excited to face the Twin Jewels of Arago.

Nathan appears as an enemy at the Heroic Games. Taking advantage of his horse’s mobility, he leads from the front, weaking havoc on the battlefield with his trusty lance.
Profile
Now we’re starting to get characters outside the big 4 factions.
Nathan and Creek, the Twin Jewels of Arago, are the red and green cavaliers of this game. They appeared in the June trailer. Creek was fighting the person wearing the cat mask.
Dialogue
Transcript
Velaphi: In the east, playing the role of the Dagza Imperial Army led by General Gaius, the Dual Walls of Arago, whose bravery are known far and wide!
Velaphi: In the west, playing the role of the barbarians of the Damascar Kingdom are brave heroes who have gathered from all across Dagza.
Now, everyone, prepare yourselves. For the thrilling battle about to be held!
Dietrich: …I can smell it on you people too. The fragrance of the strong. Perhaps I might be satiated this time. …Entertain me as much as you can.
Kirik: As expected of people who’ve made it this far. Seems there’s some eccentric ones among them.
Nathan: Keep your guard up, Kirik. Defeat is not an option for us. Losing in a place like this would damage the Arago Kingdom’s authority.

(Dagza = Dagda, Kirik = Creek)
The dialogue is very intriguing. The battles in the Heroic Games seem to be recreations of real life battles. This could explain things like the boat ship battle in Leda’s showcase.
The Kingdom of Damascar doesn’t seem to be on the map of Dagda and it wasn’t mentioned in Three Houses or Three Hopes. The way they’re called barbarians makes me think they’re from outside Dagda. Perhaps from the west of Dagda? Since they’re representing the east (Arago/imperial army) and west armies (Dietrich/Damascar).
Also, the General Gaius of Dagda shares his name with Gaius from FE Awakening, but only in the English version. In the Japanese version of FE Awakening, he’s called Guire or Gaia, which is the same spelling as the Gaia Brigadiers fought by Theodora.
Anyway, standing alongside Dietrich are Fabio, his confidant, also Ursula and toothpick guy, plus cat mask and archer who briefly appeared in Buccar’s showcase, for a total of three pairs.
Ursula and toothpick guy have been spotted as a pair multiple times. In an eShop screenshot and Tialla’s showcase. Meanwhile, in Buccar’s showcase, cat mask and archer were also together.
Since cat mask and Creek are both here (as well as Nathan), this is probably when the cutscene of them fighting happens.
Here’s a very… interesting expression from Dietrich. He seems slightly too excited to fight the Twin Jewels of Arago. Meanwhile, we get to see and hear Creek as well.
Gameplay
The video begins with the enemy phase.
Dietrich’s party includes Dietrich himself, Fabio, Esmeralda and Mikaela. Green units include Ursula and cat mask’s friend, who’s now wielding a sword.
Nathan and Creek are enemies towards the left side. Both of them have a commander badge and one HP stock.
Nathan moves 6 squares to attack Fabio. A one-sided battle conversation triggers.
Nathan: Good grief… Can’t say I’m into this, but since this is a competition, I’ll come at you with full strength
Credits to SatsumaFS
At the start of combat, Nathan triggers Reckless Charge. He uses the Tempest Lance combat art to impale Fabio with his Glaive.
Fabio tries to fight back with Mire, but gets wasted.
Fabio: H-how could I be in a pinch… This humiliation… isn’t bad!
Credits to SatsumaFS
Due to the nature of the Heroic Games, it’s not surprising that Fabio retreats rather than dies. Although I’m curious if he’s still playable after the map on Classic mode.
Judging by the scaffolding on the map, this is probably the same map from the June trailer where Ursula is fighting. The enemies are also Aragonian soldiers, which matches. Additionally, if you check the left side of the mini-map, there are two commanders who should be Nathan and Creek.
If so, the footage of Nathan defeating Fabio must be near the end of the map. Oh man, the feeling of losing a unit right at the end of the map. Hopefully you can rewind time…
31st July: Olympia
Another of Leda’s allies.
English VA: Madeline Dorroh | Japanese VA: Yuiko Tatsumi
A fiery priestess serving at the Kalla Temple at Dagsion’s upper levels. Her gifted talent for singing and art has earned her the title “Rose of Caelus.” Has a complicated history and fierce rivalry with Leda.
Likes: Singing and dance practice, getting attention
A passionate singer and priest who is skilled in white magic. She will do all it takes to seize victory.
Likes: Song, dance, playing instruments, writing songs, attracting attention
Interests: Caring for her instruments, studying music and dance
A scene at the Kalla Temple, where Olympia serves. She seems to be a very lively young lady.
Olympia excels at wielding white magic. When attacking with magic, her personal skill “Rivalry” triggers, increasing her chance to land a critical hit (3x damage).
Profile
Like Lysander and Lilian, we got two Leda recruits in a row with Mu and Olympia.
Olympia is a priestess like Ultand, but she serves at the Kalla Temple instead of the Aurora Temple. The Goddess Kalla is also one of Sirocco‘s likes.
Dialogue
Olympia: Leiridana! You were alive after all!
Leda: You are… Olympia?!
Muu: Someone incredible just showed up… Who is she?
Sirocco: She’s a priestess called Olympia. She shares the title of “The Rose of Caelus” with Lady Leda.
Olympia: I’m glad you remember me! To be honest, I was wondering what to do if you forgot! But this is the way things should be. You’re the only person to have besmirched me.
Leda: Uh… Olympia, I wasn’t really trying to..
Olympia: At the Festival of Roses that year… the title of “Rose of Caelus” was taken from me by a girl two years younger, and after that, no matter how many times I challenged her to showdowns, I lost and cried into my pillow… Then you left the temple as if you were quitting while you were ahead, and since then… The training I’ve gone through since receiving the title “The Blue Rose of Caelus”, was all so I could settle things with you once and for all. Now, time for a showdown, Leiridana! I’ll show you who the real Rose is!
Credits to SatsumaFS via Reddit
A lot of interesting tidbits here.
Leiridana (unsure of how it’s supposed to be translated, could be Lelydana for example) seems to be Leda’s real name, while “Leda” is simply an alias.
Among Leda’s party are Buccar, Sirocco and Mu. Next to Olympia is a green haired woman with pointy ears, who’s mostly out of the frame during the conversation. She has a lot of leaves on her design.
Is she a fellow priestess or could she even be Goddess Kalla? If so, maybe this woman with pointy ears could be Goddess Aurora? That said, I feel like it’d be rare for a Goddess to casually mingle with mortals like this.
On the other hand, one of the statues near Olympia has a dress that looks very similar to the green haired woman’s. It’s got the same slim dress shape and vines with leaves on them.
Update: CeladonMori noted that the Crest of Dominic seems to appear in the background. Leda apparently has the Crest of Dominic, so this is very suspicious. On top of that, the Crest of Aubin appears on the banners in the Cai scene and guess what? Cai also has the Crest of Aubin (and later Gautier).
We also learn that Leda and Olympia share the title “Rose of Caelus”, with Olympia being the “Blue Rose of Caelus”. Does that make Leda the “Red Rose of Caelus” or just the original “Rose of Caelus”?
Update (2nd August): Nearly forgot. Caelus is the primordial god of the sky in Roman mythology, so I assumed that was it. But there’s also a Caelus on the map, within the Kingdom of Arago.
Gameplay
Here, Olympia is a Priest like Ultand.
Olympia is Level 29 wielding Nosferatu.
Map seems to be at the arena, during the Heroic Games. There’s 8 units on the map, divided into two group. In this group, there’s Leda, Sirocco, Mu and Olympia. In the other group, there’s presumably Buccar, blonde ponytail knight and bow guy with face markings seen here. Not sure who the eighth member is.
There’s a mix of red and yellow units on the map. The yellow units have purple flames, so they may be from the Underworld.
There’s also a yellow Demonic Beast occupying a 2 x 2 space nearby. That reminds me, we’ve still learned nothing about Leda’s Demonic Beasts.
Nosferatu is a 1~2 range white magic spell that drains damage equal to half HP dealt, with 16 uses. Probably 8 uses, but doubled. Olympia also has Thunder.
Olympia’s foe is a Sister of Ribeira, in the Shaman class, wielding Thunder. Could be related to the Sisters of Bragança? Different banners though, the Sisters of Ribeira have the same Ribeira Winds banner as Cai’s group.
Update (1st August): In the English version, Olympia’s foe is a Ribeira Fighter. Nothing fancy.
Olympia has 6 skills. 1st skill could be her personal, Rivalry, which boosts Tome critical rate. Rivalry is also Rafal’s personal from FE Engage, although it has a different effect.
3rd skill appears many times (seems to be related to Avoid and Hit rate), 5th looks like Faith Prowess and 6th could be Tomefaire. No visible crest. Enemy seems to have a skill that boosts Tome Hit rate.
Olympia also receives a support bonus from Mu, who’s adjacent.
Update (1st August): Here’s a good look at Olympia and her opponent’s skills via Nintendo Today. Olympia has one less skill compared to before, losing Faith Prowess.
At the start of combat, 2nd skill triggers. Emotional Nosferatu. Presumably it only triggers when casting Nosferatu.
Update (1st August): Second skill is officially Ardent Nosferatu.
The Ribeira Fighter has some kind of glowing magical effect. Not sure if it’s from themselves or one of Olympia’s skills. It disappears when they’re defeated.
Olympia KOs the foe with a critical hit, dealing 57 damage and recovering 29 HP.
Afterwards, she gains 12 exp and some proficiency exp for Faith.
Back on the map, Olympia and Mu gain support points.
30th July: Mu
One of Leda’s allies.
English VA: Asante Mango | Japanese VA: Akane Yamaguchi
A young, innocent girl who ran away from home to search for her missing mother. While tracking her mother’s whereabouts, she runs into Leda during her path of vengeance. She dresses and speaks like a boy to protect herself from danger.
Likes: Father, mother, sweets
An inexperienced fighter. What she lacks in battle experience, she makes up for with growth potential.
Likes: Concocting new medicines, her father, her mother, eating sweets
Interests: Making medicinal elixirs, exercise
A scene with Peter, who’s around the same age. Mu is worried about others seeing through her disguise, when a slightly oblivious Peter shows up…
During combat, she inflicts damage through close combat using her gauntlets. Although she lacks experience as a warrior, her fighting instincts that she inherited from her mother steadily improve as she gains battle experience.
Profile
I was a bit skeptical because it seems way too convenient, but the chance of Mikaela and Mu being mother and daughter suddenly shot up a lot.
Besides their similar appearances, their names both start with M. Also, Mikaela’s profile mentions a daughter, while Mu’s profile mentions a mother.
The circumstances are pretty confusing though. Mikaela is working to support her daughter’s education, while Mu is searching for her missing mother. Only way this could work is if Mikaela wanted to support Mu, but disappeared without telling her for some reason. Then Mu ended up leaving to search for Mikaela.
Mu also has or had a father. I’m leaning towards her father being still alive, otherwise she wouldn’t have a home to run away from. Unless she was staying with extended family. But if her father was dead, she’d have a bigger excuse to leave home and search for her presumably-still-alive mother.
Dialogue
Transcript
Muu: This shop has some nice stuff. Maybe I’ll buy something.
Shopkeeper: Young lady! Some decent goods just came in! Wanna see? This earring is popular in the streets lately, and if you match it with this hair accessory’s color…
Muu: N-no thanks! Also, I’m a boy! I-I’m gonna go…!
sigh Young lady, huh… Even though I’m dressed as a boy… I’m doing this to protect myself, but to think they’d see through it so easily. Mr Sirocco said he could tell straight away too, so maybe it really doesn’t work…
…Huh, Peter? Is he looking for someone?
Peter: Ah, Muu! Great timing! Could you come with me for a sec? There’s a pregnant lady sitting there with a big piece of luggage… Anyway, we need some guys to help out!
Muu: Guys… Uhh, got it! Coming!
…Phew, we made it to her house.
Peter: heavy breathing Yeah… It’s great that the lady is all good too. Thanks, Muu! I couldn’t have helped her on my own. You carried a lot of luggage too, very impressive. You’re strong!
Muu: Ah, y-yeah! I’m a boy after all, and I train! Call for me anytime you need guys to help. I can help with heavy lifting or anything!
Peter: Yeah, if it comes up again! See ya!

Interestingly, this seems to be a support conversation between Cai’s party and Leda’s party. This means Peter was recruited to Leda’s side or Mu was recruited to Cai’s side. Or there’s something else going on. For example, in Leda’s showcase, Leda had support points with Theodora.
Gameplay
Here, Mu is a Gladiator. It has a proficiency bonus in Sword, Axe and Gauntlet. From the looks of things, it seems to be a new Beginner tier class, possibly replacing Fighter. In Japanese, the class name can be interpreted as Fighter.
Got a desert map. Looks different than Mikaela’s map and Theodora’s map.
Update: Actually, as Melody pointed out, it’s part of Theodora’s map, but rotated. Similar to one of the jungle maps.
There’s 6 units on the map. Leda, Buccar, I’m guessing Sirocco who’s off-screen, Mu herself, blonde-haired caster and blonde ponytail knight. Presumably blonde-haired caster is the 5th party member, who’s going to be profiled next.
Update: Fixed the roster.
Update (31st July): Another clear shot of the blonde ponytail knight via Nintendo Today. I’m guessing she’s the next Leda recruit to be profiled.
Also, there’s a yellow pig/boar between Mu and Tobias. This looks like a skirmish map, so interesting to see what purpose animals will have. Are you supposed to rescue them or hunt them?
Update (31st July): In the Nintendo Today video, the yellow boar is missing. Maybe it’s a rare or event spawn?
Mu’s Level 8. She has 4 movement. Her inventory includes a Bronze Gauntlet and Wooden Axe. This seems somewhat early if she’s in a Beginner class with Bronze/Wooden weapons.
Mu’s foe is a Thief, in the Ornius Rider class, wielding a Wooden Sword. Mu has two skills, but no visible crest.
Strangely, Gauntlets don’t seem to deal consecutive hits like in Three Houses. Or at least the Bronze Gauntlet doesn’t.
Update (31st July): Clearer view of Mu’s skills via Nintendo Today. The Avoid and Hit rate skill that keeps appearing, plus Fistfaire?
Mu sends the ornius rider flying. Nothing special to note, just thought it looked funny.
Afterwards, she gains 18 exp and some proficiency exp for Brawling. But no Infantry.
Update (31st July): In the Nintendo Today video, Mu gains 36 exp instead of 18 exp. We don’t see the enemy level, but their stats are similar, although maybe slightly higher. But not enough to account for double exp. Is this a lower difficulty level or maybe a skill at play?
On the map, Mu and Leda gain support points.
