Shigure

Shigure (シグレ) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates. He is voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya in the Japanese version and Matthew Mercer in the English version.

Profile
Shigure is the son of Azura and inherited her beautiful singing voice. Like other children in Fates, Shigure was raised in his own Deeprealm world where he made many friends and happiness. Unfortunately, that happiness was broken when invisible warriors attacked, forcing Shigure to flee.

In his Paralogue, Shigure encounters Azura and the army she's traveling with at sea and delivers the shocking news that his world had been attacked. However, their reunion is cut short due to two large sailing ships that broadside their ship. Shigure vows to fight off the warriors to avenge his friends, but Azura demands that he stay back while she and the army counter the warriors. After dispatching the invisible warriors, Azura informs Shigure that she traveled to his Deeprealm world to find it completely destroyed and all of its inhabitants dead. Remorseful for being blind to the world, Shigure vows to remain strong and sings Lost in Thoughts All Alone as a requiem for his fallen friends. With no where else to go, Shigure decides to join the army, which Azura initially rejects, but eventually accepts his request, though she wants to protect him whenever he can.

Personality
Shigure has a natural love for the arts and is especially fond of singing like his mother. He also has a special affinity for painting as well. Though calm, collected, kind, and gentle, he can be moody and loves doing things at his own pace. He loves high places. His birthday is June 6th.
