Cherche

"Might I join, sire? This may not be my country, but it is my cause."

- Cherche

Cherche (セルジュ - Seruju, Serge in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Awakening.

She is voiced by Kana Akutsu in the Japanese version and by Amanda C. Miller in the English version

Profile
Cherche is a former vassal of House Virion from Rosanne and the mother of Gerome. Her wyvern mount is named Minerva. She is a domestic woman raised on simple values who is good at cooking and sewing, in contrast to her vicious wyvern. Despite her domestic nature, she is surprisingly strong as she gained her vicious dragon mount by defeating her and surviving her fire breath, only getting a bald spot from the encounter. She has a bizarre sense of aesthetics, referring to monsters and bugs as cute. Her support with Gaius reveals that she detests fighting, but the only reason she does is so she can live to see her family again. She is the scariest person in the army to anger. Her birthday is October 17th.

Etymology
Serge is a unisex name (though typically used for males) of French origin, meaning "moving forward". It is also a Latin word meaning "servant". The latter probably represents her status as one of Virion's former vassals.

Cherche is a variation of the French verb "chercher", which means "to look". In this case, Cherche translates into "looking" or into "look", as an imperative.

Trivia
