List of characters in Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Open-knowledge reference entry

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a tactical role-playing video game developed by Intelligent Systems and Koei Tecmo's Kou Shibusawa and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It was released worldwide on July 26, 2019. It is the sixteenth entry in the Fire Emblem series and the first one for home consoles since Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, originally released in 2007.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses takes place on the continent of Fódlan, which is divided into three ruling powers. The game's main protagonist, Byleth, acts as a teacher at the Garreg Mach Monastery. They can teach for one of the three powers' classes: The Blue Lions, who are associated with the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, the Golden Deer, associated with the Leicester Alliance, and the Black Eagles, associated with the Adrestian Empire. The game's main plot features multiple different story paths after a five-year timeskip, during which Byleth may either ally with one of the three powers or the Monastery.
Development
Chinatsu Kurahana served as the game's lead character designer. She was chosen due to his prior work on Uta no Prince-sama, with the style employed there being used to help reinforce the "glamorous, aristocratic society" the various noble characters lived in. She directly influenced many design aspects of the various characters.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of characters in Fire Emblem: Three Houses” as open-knowledge reference entry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q124968107. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019 and 2007.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
