Azura

Azura (アクア, Akua. Aqua in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates, she is Corrin's cousin.

Role in Game
While not seen in Story Mode, Azura plays a role in the History Mode map, Grief. She finds Corrin on a rampage in his dragon form and sings her song to try and calm him down. The Hoshidans try to stop her but she brushes them aside and completes her song, returning Corrin to normal. Then, the female Corrin announces she will kill the coalition for Velezark.

Azura's coalition then fights the female Corrin in Aytolis but then Velezark is unleashed. The female Corrin regains her senses from Azura's fighting but sustains heavy injuries and dies. The male Corrin vows revenge on Velezark.

Development
Azura was meant to play a role in Fire Emblem Warriors base game, however with the abundance of Fates characters due to the inclusion of all of Corrin's siblings, she was removed from the final product with the intention of adding her as DLC at a later date.

Personality
Azura is kind and perceptive. Similarly but opposite to Corrin, she was kidnapped from Nohr by Hoshido in hope of an exchange, but Mikoto requested that she be treated as a member of the royal family, rather than an outcast like how most of Nohr royals treated her and her mother Arete.
