Oifey

"And we can't keep you in hiding now that your whereabouts have been leaked. I just wish we were more prepared... But we have no choice now."

- Oifey

Oifey (オイフェ, Oife?, translated Oifaye in fan translation) is a character who is an NPC in Siglud's tale and becomes playable in Celice's tale in Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu.

An experienced strategist who takes after his grandfather, Lord Sesar, 14-year-old Oifey appears serveing as his cousin Siglud's advisor in Siglud's tale, and is Shanan's best friend. He also serves as his distant nephew Celice's guardian on behalf of Siglud after the fateful Battle of Barhara, helping Adean raise him alongside the other children who ran away with them to Isaac. Additionally, he trained Rackesis's son Delmud (or his expy Tristan) in swordplay.

After the war ends, he takes over as Duke of Chalphy due to Celice becoming king, leaving Oifey as the only decendent of Baldo that can take the position.

In-Game
As Oifey created his own archetype, he obviously comes stronger than most other characters, but he turns out alright when leveled, so he isn't a Jeigan.

With the skills Pursuit and Critical and good starting stats and stat growths, Oifey is a competent fighter who may not be as good as your best characters in the long run, but can definitely hold his own.

Archetype
Oifey created the sub-category to the Jeigan archetype. Like Jeigans he is a prepromoted unit, but unlike Jeigan his growths allow him to be usable late game. Several later start game pre-promotes, such as Seth and Titania fit this archetype.

There are others who are considered Oifeys, but this is the generally agreed upon sub-list.

Etymology
Oifey is a corruption of Aífe (also spelled Aoife), a character from the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology.
