Mozu

Mozu (モズメ Mozume in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates and an ally on all the routes. She is voiced by Juri Kimura in the Japanese version. She is voiced by Karen Strassman aka Leina Srour is the actual voice actors in the English version.

Profile
Mozu is a villager from Hoshido. In her paralogue, her village gets ransacked by the Faceless, killing everybody else in the village, including her mother. As luck would have it, she would be rescued by the Avatar and their army, who were looking for survivors. Unfortunately, she was the sole survivor. Faced with little options, since she's by herself and has nothing of value anymore, she joins The Avatar's army, and strives to be useful to their cause.

Personality
Though she is often hesitant, she's a kind and caring girl who does things as best as she can and help others. She is, however, incredibly strong; in her supports with the Avatar she talks about hunting Boar and Bear during her life as a villager. Mozu is also one of the few female characters in S supports who will consistently and pro-actively ask for her love interests hand in marriage.

Despite wanting to build self-confidence, she is traumatized by the destruction of her village and the death of her mom, and is prone to crying over this. She is also very humble, not valuing any wealth or luxuries, and prefers a simplistic lifestyle. This is evident with her supports with Oboro where Oboro complements that with the right clothes, she would attract a lot of young boys due to her cute looks. However, Mozu replies that even with the cute clothing and makeship, she still consider herself to be a country girl.

When her skills on the field or her simplistic lifestyle aren't mentioned, it is often noted that she tries to move on from the trauma she has suffered in order to be of use to the Avatar's army as a soldier and not just as a farmer. Sometimes she will try to salvage the happy memories of her village to help in doing so, even in a literal context as her supports with Niles show, as she tries to find a sacred sphere that is said to bring good harvests from the wreckage of her village. Otherwise, she will try to find the strength to move on both mentally and physically whether it be training or literally just crying it out until she stops.

Her birthday is October 6th.

Recruitment
Mozu automatically becomes available at the end of the chapter, but can be recruited early on by having the Avatar talk to her during battle.
