Orochi

Orochi (オロチ) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates and an ally in the Birthright and Revelation routes. She is voiced by Yuka Igarashi in the Japanese version, and Paula Tiso in the English version.

Profile
Orochi was born to a noble house in Hoshido and eventually became of service to the queen of Hoshido, Mikoto. With her highly valued magic power, Orochi works as a Diviner for the imperial castle of Hoshido, where some of the most expensive magic spells available in the realm can be purchased. Known to be best friends with Kagero since childhood, the two met when Orochi went to gather herbs near Kagero's home and dropped her basket in a river. The two ended up falling into the river trying to retrieve the basket, and they have remained as close compatriots ever since.

Personality
Contrary to her calm and old-fashioned way of speaking, Orochi has a playful personality. She can use her playful personality to entice captured enemies in the jail to join the player's army and she is very competitive about her medical skills and her magical ability as shown in her supports with Hayato and Nyx, challenging them to medicine-making contests, and a duel of the magic arts respectively. She also enjoys doing fortune telling with cards. According to the 4Koma book and her supports with Kaden she adores cats. She laughs a lot, even one of the most boring jokes always makes her laugh hard. She is the loudest drinker in the army. Her birthday is June 19.
