Edeleth
Edelgard von Hresvelg/Byleth Eisner
Edelgard wages war on the Church of Seiros to break Fódlan's chains, and Byleth is the professor who can either cut her down or stand beside her against the world. Crimson Flower is the only route where the teacher chooses the student, and the fandom built one of Fire Emblem's biggest ships on that choice. The dynamic pairs Edelgard's ruthless conviction with the one person who has seen her cry.
