Sully

"Oh wait, I get it... This is a joke. And when I put my boot through your face, that's the punch line."

- Sully to Virion in Chapter 1

Sully (ソワレ Soware, translated Soiree in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Awakening. She is voiced by Momoko Oohara in the Japanese version and by Amanda C. Miller in the English version.

Profile
Sully is a member of Chrom's Shepherds, prizes combat, and has a strong-willed personality. She and Chrom are childhood friends, and the two often spar together. She was born to a long line of Ylissean knights. In her support with Vaike she could have easily been spoiled by her family's reputation but refuses to, feeling that she needs to earn this treatment on her own through her own abilities. Thus her dream is to become a great knight. In Sully's support with Vaike, what she is looking for in a man is someone who is better than her, and someone she can respect. Sully does not know how to do most domestic chores including cooking and washing clothes.

Sully finds Chrom after the Outrealm Gate opens, sending in Risen soldiers. However she is unknowingly tailed by an archer Virion who instantly begins to hit on her. However, she quickly silences him and rushes in to aid Chrom and helps him defeat the Risen. Sully accompanies Chrom during the Ylisse-Plegia war, the Conquest of Valm, and stopping Grima.

After the war, Sully continues her knightly duties and became a well respected knight. Her beauty and skill made her a hero to women.

She is the mother of Kjelle and a potential mother for Lucina and Morgan. She is the worst chef in the army, a trait she passed down to Kjelle.

Personality
Sully is a very confident and bold woman with a tomboyish personality. Being cooler than most men, Sully has many female fans in Ylisse. She has trouble dealing with the amount of fan letters she gets. Despite her initial claim of indifference, she is worried about her appearance and personality, talking about how she is not "girly" enough. She worries that some people may find her tomboyish personality unattractive. Through her conversation with Nowi in Summer Scramble, Sully reveals that she doesn't know how to swim but wishes to learn. Her birthday is December 5th.

Recruitment
She is automatically recruited at the start of Turn 2 of Chapter 1.

Class Sets

 * Cavalier - Promotes to Paladin or Great Knight
 * Myrmidon - Promotes to Swordmaster or Assassin
 * Wyvern Rider - Promotes to Wyvern Lord or Griffon Rider
 * Bride - Requires Wedding Bouquet

Base Class
Sully is the Cain archetype of the game meaning she is a Cavalier and her speed, skill, and luck growths will be much better than Stahl, though her strength and defense will grow slightly slower. This means that Sully will begin to double attack enemies and get criticals a bit earlier than Stahl will. However with awkward defensive stat growths, Sully will need to avoid getting hit as much as possible when attacking.

As a Great Knight, Sully gains some much needed strength, though she will lose her speed and skill as a result. This makes her stats caps rather lopsided, however she will perform modestly well in this class, though Stahl and Frederick will probably serve better over her in these classes as her speed and skill stat caps will be only slightly higher than theirs while everything else is for them. Still, Sully can grab Luna for additional attack damage and Dual Guard+ for some Pair Up. Sully as a Paladin is much more balanced and considering her asset stats over Stahl are Speed and Skill, this class will really highlight Sully's abilities. Defender gives Sully some good stat boosts in Pair Ups and Aegis to shave off damage from Magic since her resistance is moderately slow in growth.

Reclassing
Sully's two reclassing options are the Myrmidon and Wyvern Rider lines. As a Myrmidon, Sully's natural higher speed and skill growth makes her an excellent myrmidon and its promotions, though is barely inferior to Lon'qu in most stats except defense and resistance. Swordmaster and Assassin Sully is still a formidable unit and a great way for Sully to continue to hone her asset stats. Vantage can potentially save Sully's life when she is in a tight spot, allowing her to quickly deal with enemies before she gets killed. Swordfaire will make her sword damage a bit better. Astra can allow Sully to score multiple hits and even pile criticals on each strike compounding to a possible 7.5 times the normal damage with her high skill, while using up only 1 weapon durability point. Lethality has a small chance to activate, at about 10% in all of her classes. This should be a last ditch effort skill if considered. Pass will allow her to quickly slip into enemy forces and help to swarm and gang on enemies.

As a Wyvern Rider, Sully's strength will grow best in this class. She is faster and has better skill than Cherche though she falls slightly behind in strength and defense. Nevertheless she is still quite capable and can enjoy the better terrain effect free movement, though she will need to watch for Archers and Wyrmslayer units. Quick Burn can enhance Sully's initial turn abilities and can quickly mow down and dodge enemies. Lancebreaker and Swordbreaker also gives Sully some extra help when taking down enemies. Deliverer is a modest utility skill to help Sully close in the gaps with enemies or get away to get healed in a Pair Up.

Possible Endings

 * Sully - Crimson Knight
 * Sully continued her knightly duties and soon became a trusted leader on the field and off. Her dashing figure and significant skills made her a hero to women everywhere.


 * Sully and Chrom
 * After Grima’s Defeat, Chrom was officially welcomed as Ylsse’s new Exalt. Queen Sully rode far and wide on his behalf, her gallant and radiant figure the envy of women everywhere.


 * Sully and the Avatar
 * Many wrote of Avatar's legendary exploits, but accounts of his origins and character varied. Scholars, poets, and bards agreed on one thing alone--he loved his wife, Sully, above all else.


 * Sully and Frederick
 * As Ylisse's new knight captain, Frederick took charge of keeping the peace and training new recruits. His wife, Sully, assisted him, becoming an object of admiration for strong women the world round.


 * Sully and Virion
 * Virion returned home to Rosanne, where he was labeled a traitor and a coward, or else ignored entirely. But in time he was forgiven, largely thanks to the bold (and slightly terrifying) nature of his wife, Sully.


 * Sully and Vaike
 * Vaike returned to the streets that raised him and was welcomed as a hero and brother to all. Still, he was no match for Sully, who dragged her poor husband on countless missions in the name of Ylisse.


 * Sully and Stahl
 * Sully and Stahl became the left and right arms of Ylisse and conducted crucial missions across the realm. Their red-and-green banners soon became know everywhere as a symbol of justice and strength.


 * Sully and Kellam
 * Sully continued her knightly duties and led vital missions, soon becoming a role model for women everywhere. Her husband's name has been lost to history.


 * Sully and Lon'qu
 * Lon'qu returned to Regna Ferox and served as Basilio's right-hand man. He and Sully carried out countless missions together, and the latter became close friends with another outspoken woman, Flavia.


 * Sully and Ricken
 * While continuing to study magic, Ricken realized how childish some of his actions had been. Sully made for a strict, but fair, companion, and the couple thrived together.


 * Sully and Gaius
 * Gaius never lost his sweet tooth, though he ultimately returned to less savory enterprises. Sully disapproved and was said to pester for her husband to take the examination for Ylissean knighthood instead.


 * Sully and Gregor
 * After the war, Gregor briefly sank into a life of excess. Sully pestered her husband to take the Ylissean knighthood examination, but he instead continued his mercenary work on the sly.


 * Sully and Libra
 * Many an unfortunate child found joy in the small orphanage Libra and his wife built after the war. To this day, the children call Libra "Mother" and Sully "Boss"


 * Sully and Henry
 * Henry settled down with Sully and turned out to be a surprisingly good father. Sully trained their newborn daughter hard in the art of war, and the girl rose to every expectation.


 * Sully and Donnel
 * Donnel returned to his tiny village and built a happy life with his mother and wife, Sully. The latter established a militia much like the Shepherds to arm the villagers against the threat of brigands.

Etymology
Her name may come from the French word soirée, meaning evening, maybe as opposed to Stahl's Japanese name sol, sun in Spanish.

Sully also means dirty (covered in dirt) in English. This may be in reference to her willingness to work harder than most men to prove herself or, perhaps, a reference to her more masculine appearance and mannerisms compared to the other women.

Trivia

 * Sully and Stahl are one of three Cain and Abel pairs to not join the army in the same chapter (the others being Cain/Abel and Oscar/Kieran), and the only male/female pair themselves.
 * Sully shares her English voice actress, Amanda C. Miller, with Cherche.
 * Sully's official artwork depicts her wielding a Iron Lance.
 * Sully's birthday is the same day that Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon was released in Europe.
