Azura

Azura (アクア Akua, Aqua in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Fates. She is a Princess of Nohr, but was captured and held prisoner by Hoshido, similar to the Avatar's situation. In the Japanese version, Azura is voiced by Lynn while her singing voice is provided by Renka. In the English version, she's voiced by Rena Strober.

Profile
Azura was a princess of the Nohrian royal family and daughter of the second Queen Shenmei, but was captured by Hoshido and raised there in similar fashion to the Avatar. She is a gifted songstress and dancer and is seen dancing in a theatre, watched by Garon. The song she sings is if~hitori omou. Although she can get slightly emotional, she is kindhearted and knowledgeable. During battles, she sings to help allies. She has the worst bed hair. Azura's singing holds great, but mysterious powers. If she achieves an S-Support, she will have a son named Shigure and can possibly be the mother of other children except Male Kanna.

Shortly before the start of the great war, Azura meets the Avatar and they discover their similar origins and situations. She allies with the Avatar through the story of Fates, regardless of what route they choose. The path chosen also changes the colors of her clothing but only in particular scenes. She still retains her white and blue dress regardless of the paths chosen. Her birthday is March 3rd.

Birthright
Azura wears a white and blue dress. At one point, she sings and dances before Garon and Nohrian troops. During the dance, she uses her water manipulation abilities, causing Garon slight discomfort.

After Garon is defeated, Azura collapses and dissolves into light, with the Avatar bursting into tears. In the ending, they converse with Azura's spirit by the lakeside where they first met her before Azura disappears and Ryoma calls them back.

Conquest
Azura wears a dark blue and purple dress that comes with a facial veil. Like in Birthright, she sings and dances before Garon and Nohrian troops, but sings a different song and causes Garon more pain.

As in Birthright, Azura collapses and dissolves into light.

Neutral
Azura will accompany the Avatar if they decides to side with neither group. This is the only route in which she lives, and she crowns the Avatar as the new ruler of Touma at the end of the route, becoming their personal adviser. If the male Avatar marries Azura, she will rule Touma alongside him, succeeding her mother as Touma's new queen.

Etymology
Azura comes from the word azure, a shade of blue.

Aqua, her name in the Japanese version, is the Latin word for water. It is also a greenish-blue color.

Trivia

 * Azura has two different in-game voice actresses (not including language changes) : her in-game voice actress is Lynn while her singing voice is provided by Renka. This has already been seen in the Fire Emblem series when other characters had to sing (like Ashunera and Sephiran in Radiant Dawn and possibly Micaiah).
 * Like Chrom in Fire Emblem: Awakening, Azura gains a child unit, whether or not you marry her in time. However, in Fire Emblem: Fates, a child unit's identity is tied to their father, making Azura the only female, apart from the female Avatar, to have her own child unit tied to her.
