Laevatein (character)

"I am the blade—the blade my father wields. I will do as I am ordered."

- Laevatein

Laevatein is an antagonist from Fire Emblem Heroes. She is from the Kingdom of Múspell. She is seen fighting Alfonse in the opening cinematic.

Profile
The daughter of Surtr and second princess of Múspell, the Kingdom of Flame. She sees herself as one and the same as the blade she wields, and keeps her emotions in check.

The heroes first encounter her in Chapter 2 of Book 2, fighting alongside her father and Loki.

Personality
Laevatein doesn't express her emotions very much. She maintains a very professional relationship with her father, calling him "Sir" or "Lord." Although she keeps it hidden from him, she expresses happiness after receiving orders from Surtr.

Although her pursuit of Fjorm and the Askr Trio is unwavering, she does not appear to have any personal feelings on the matter. When Fjorm becomes angry with Laevatein for following them, Laevatein simply tells her those are her orders, almost seeming confused by Fjorm's reaction.

Her relationship with her sister however shows a much softer side, with Laevatein's attitude seeming to immediately pick up when Laegjarn finds her in Nifl. She constantly praises Laegjarn's intelligence, impressed by her sharp wits. Not only does she seem much happier in her sister's presence, but she also becomes more distressed by failure. Upon their defeat in Chapter 5, Laevatein's first priority is to ask if Laegjarn is okay. In Chapter 6, Laevatein argues when Laegjarn tries to tell her to escape and leave her behind, only relenting when her sister insists it's an order.
