Shiro

Shiro (シノノメ Shinonome in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates. He is voiced by Yasuaki Takumi in the Japanese version, and by Kaiji Tang in the English version.

Profile
Shiro is the son of Ryoma and the cousin of Kiragi.

In his Paralogue, Shiro departs from his Deeprealm and ends up in a barren desert in the real world. Upon entering, Tarba ambushes him and threatens to kill him if he does not give up his equipment. Shiro refuses and prepares to fight Banba and his gang.

Fortunately, Ryoma and the Avatar's forces arrive, after the former was notified by his caretakers that Shiro had gone without a trace. Ryoma is upset that Shiro left his Deeprealm but focuses on routing the bandits first. After the battle, Shiro is shocked that he is actually part of the Hoshido royal family, as while growing up, he was never notified of his royal status. Ryoma tells him that it was for his own safety due to the war between Hoshido and Nohr. Despite this, Ryoma allows Shiro to come along so he can learn more, as Shiro admits to Ryoma that he was taught to fight, and not to kill.

Personality
Shiro has a foolhardy personality. When he sees a challenge, he rushes in without giving a second thought. As a result, he often puts himself in danger. Even though he is a little emotional with deep feelings of hatred, he is friendly and easy to get along with.

He also has a quick-thinking and reckless mindset, as shown in his supports and paralogue. He attempts to fight Banba's gang even though he is not experienced enough to handle them. During Shiro's C Support with his father Ryoma, he unintentionally tells him that he only trained in the use of Naginatas so that he could beat him in a duel, knowing that lances beat swords in combat. He also asks his mother for proof that his father truly cares for her, as he does not believe so because Ryoma is rarely around them.

He is very insecure about inheriting the throne of Hoshido because he believes that he is not capable enough to rule the kingdom. Primarily, his father is one of the most capable and popular men in the kingdom. Compared to his father, he feels that he does not have any talent that sticks out. Therefore, he suggests to the Avatar that they should inherit the throne of Hoshido after his father's rule. In the end, he changes his mind to dedicate himself to train hard, so he can inherit the throne and Raijinto.

His Birthday is August 22nd, and he is the strongest arm wrestler out of everyone in the army.
