Beruka

"I'll kill them all. For Lady Camilla."

- Beruka

Beruka (ベルカ, Belka in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates and an ally on the Conquest and Revelation Routes. She is voiced by Masumi Tazawa in the Japanese version and by Stephanie Sheh in the English version.

Profile
Beruka is a soldier orphaned in the slums of Nohr. She was adopted by a notable Nohrian assassin and was taught the art of assassination, though she reveals in her support with Oboro that she never received any love from him. She eventually came into the services of Princess Camilla during an assassination attempt on her. Camilla managed to convince Beruka to not complete the task by hiring her on the spot.

She is the most immune to poison. Her birthday is February 26.

Her supports with Jakob show that due to being raised in the slums, the only thing she learned throughout her life was killing people. It is also shown that she prefers working alone and does not like working with others, as another support with her reveals that as a result of being with the army, she is afraid that she cannot do her task properly.

During her supports with Camilla, she reveals that she would assassinate her if someone either offered her more money or was more trustworthy than Camilla. She then tells Camilla not to worry, because she has never met anyone more trustworthy than Camilla. In her support with Charlotte lines she reveals that her armor once belonged to Camilla.

Personality
Beruka, raised as an assassin, generally comes off as very cold, unfeeling, and distant. She speaks very bluntly, but admits to Camilla that she is a poor speaker and usually alludes to assassination and contract for her general speech terms. An example is when Charlotte gives her tips on how to "seize the hearts" of men, Beruka believes she is talking about something else entirely. She is a masterful professional killer, putting her missions above her own personal feelings. Beruka does not seem to devote any energy towards activities outside of her work for Camilla. She cannot even grasp the concept of hobbies, and typically waits idly when not performing her duties. In her romantic supports, she often warns her husband that she would kill him if she was ever contracted to do so. However, in some instances, Beruka does show strong loyalty and is willing to break her code of putting the mission first, including her relationship with Camilla and Selena.
