“I shall rebuild House Nuvelle! Nobility will be mine again, and the glory of my esteemed family will once more reign supreme!”
—Constance

Constance is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. She is an inhabitant of Abyss, and a member of the Ashen Wolves. She's the last known bearer of the Crest of Noa after the destruction of House Nuvelle and is 18 years old at the start of the game. In Cindered Shadows, she is a main protagonist, alongside the other members of the Ashen Wolves.

Profile[]

Constance was originally a lady of House Nuvelle, a noble family from the Adrestian Empire that collapsed during the Dagda and Brigid War a few years ago, and is the only survivor. The tragedy that befell House Nuvelle deeply traumatized her, giving her a dual personality disorder that triggers when exposed to direct sunlight, as it reminded her of House Nuvelle's destruction. She is also a childhood friend of Mercedes.

She attended the Fhirdiad Royal School of Sorcery and graduated in Year 1177.

Following the collapse of House Nuvelle, Constance moved to Abyss, although she hasn't given up on her dream of reviving House Nuvelle, and she is watching vigilantly for a chance to do great things and gain worldwide recognition.

Cindered Shadows[]

Constance was the first to suspect a mole in Abyss after Aelfric was abducted, deducing that since only the people in Abyss knew about the Chalice of Beginnings, someone would've had to inform the kidnappers about the treasure. Later, Yuri admitted to her that keeping her off his trail was the hardest part of his plan.

Academy Phase[]

Like the other members of the Ashen Wolves, Constance can be recruited if Cindered Shadows has been completed. If recruited into the Black Eagles, Constance shows surprise at Edelgard's plan, stating that if she had learned of it, she would have vehemently opposed her.

Despite Edelgard's manipulation in the Holy Tomb, Constance decides to support Edelgard and Byleth against the Church of Seiros. After the war, she rebuilds House Nuvelle.

Constance is left baffled by Edelgard's actions and decides to oppose the Empire. While in disbelief at the prospect of invading the Empire, she reasons that she could achieve her dreams if the Empire was destroyed and the Kingdom rebuilt. After the war, she rebuilds House Nuvelle.

Personality[]

Constance speaks in a domineering, haughty tone, but maintains a scope of politeness and refined speech, being a noble before hiding in Abyss. At times, she can be rude, especially when loudly voicing her aspirations to restore House Nuvelle. Interestingly, Constance also seems to need praise to feel better about herself, as in her victory quotes she demands recognition.

Due to the tragedy that befell her house, Constance suffers from dual personality disorder. Her aforementioned personality are her dominant traits when indoors or outdoors during darker hours or overcast days. When she is exposed to sunlight, she is much more lethargic, apathetic, and even self-deprecating. Her tone is much more polite, but always stated in a manner that seems like she is inconveniencing her conversational partner. This trait is also uniquely reflected in gameplay, as her personality exhibited during a given battle depends on the environment in which it's set.

Magical research and development are Constance's favorite activities, believing that it is the best (and only) way to restore House Nuvelle and return it to prominence. However, these spells tend to have questionable utility, such as a spell that gives a rainbow hue to tea which, while beautiful, is ultimately useless. Another spell she develops – after an (ironic) suggestion of Yuri to “get down on all fours and lick [the nobles’] boots” in their C support (which she took literally) – would turn leather into licorice, something that earns her bewilderment from Yuri. That said, in most of her endings, her research eventually culminates in restoring House Nuvelle and making it well known across Fódlan.

She holds some distaste for the Adrestian Empire as its actions led to her parents' deaths. Though she bears no grudge against Edelgard, even speaking in a friendly manner to her, she coldly dismisses her apologies for her father's actions. However, she admits if she had known about Edelgard being the Flame Emperor, she would have done everything in her power to stop her, even if it stopped her chance at restoring her family. Should Constance be recruited in Crimson Flower, though, she’ll change her viewpoint after admitting to forcing information out of Edelgard.

Through her heritage as an Imperial noble, Constance has personal history with Ferdinand and Mercedes. She used to be close to the former, but their relationship has strained due to his father's inaction when her house fell and his initially clumsy attempt to reconcile with her. She is much more friendly to Mercedes, treating her like a big sister, and expressing dismay that they were so close to reuniting with each other at the Royal School of Sorcery.

She is also aware of Jeritza's identity as Mercedes' brother Emile, and is among the few to refer to him by his real name while noticeably not afraid of him at all. If the player desires, they can even be married.

Recruitment[]

After completing Chapter 2 of the Cindered Shadows side story, Constance can be recruited into the main story from Chapter 2 onwards.

Overall[]

Secret Book (Artwork)
Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Much like Lysithea, Constance is a glass cannon mage who is all about firepower. Her Magic growth rate ties with Lysithea's for the highest in the game, but she has poor growths just about everywhere else, especially in Luck and Defense. In particular, her Speed and Dexterity are noticeably worse than Lysithea's in exchange for only slight growth rate improvements to her Strength, Defense, and Resistance (all of which are still very low), though she somewhat makes up for it with her skill strengths being more diverse than Lysithea's, including a strength in Flying, though she doesn't share Lysithea's strength in Faith. As such, Constance can dish out incredible damage per spell, but can be taken out in a single hit by most opponents. Additionally, her Major Crest of Noa allows her to occasionally refund charges on the spells she casts, which can be very helpful given her powerful arsenal otherwise has tightly limited charges. Constance's personal skill, Circadian Beat, is very unique in that it will either boost her offense or defense depending on the map; it is usually better when boosting her offense due to her already-weak defenses, meaning Constance's performance can differ greatly depending on the map. Circadian Beat partially makes up for her inferior growth rates compared to Lysithea.

One thing Constance has going for her is access to Bolting, a spell that only Hilda and Manuela have otherwise, but she can use it far better than them. This not only lets her decimate enemies at long range, but can let her contribute Linked Attack and Gambit Boost bonuses from extreme distances just by having the spell equipped (unfortunately, her low number of Support chains hinders this). She also gets Agnea's Arrow, Fimbulvetr, and Abraxas, some of the most powerful damage spells in the game, but she may have issues hitting enemies due to her poor Dexterity (thankfully she also gets Sagittae to compensate). Her Faith list also includes Rescue, and she is arguably the strongest user of it in the game thanks to having a higher Magic growth rate than Flayn. Additionally, her strength in Authority will help a great deal in letting her acquire high-tier battalions, though her below-average Charm growth means her Gambits might not be that impressive; battalions that improve her accuracy and magic damage are ones that will greatly benefit her, such as the Ordelia Sorcery Corps or her own Nuvelle Flier Corps (if she's classed as a Dark Flier).

Like other mages, several skills will highly benefit Constance when using her in the main storyline. Mastering Mage will give her Fiendish Blow, augmenting her already-impressive damage output. Her strength in Flying means Pegasus Knight can be a good class to master for Darting Blow, helping to compensate for her spells' Weight and her average Speed. Mastering Archer for Hit +20 can be very helpful to compensate for her below-par Dexterity. Physical classes are generally not recommended in the long run due to Constance's awful non-Magic growths, though if one uses New Game+ they could take the time to get her to Swordmaster or Mortal Savant just for the minimum Strength boost, helping to offset Weight. Constance does have a budding talent in Brawling, oddly enough, which is worth pursuing if one wants to try an odd build using Aura Knuckles. War Cleric is one of the very few classes that are capable of using both magic and brawling, and will boost the damage of her Aura Knuckles attacks with Fistfaire. Due to her lackluster Speed, she will greatly benefit from the Brave quality all Gauntlets have. Dark Flier is a strong late-game choice, taking advantage of her strengths and giving her access to Black Tomefaire and Canto. Gremory is still an excellent option as it is for all females magic users. Classing her as a Valkyrie will also prove highly beneficial to acquire Uncanny Blow, which greatly helps Constance's accuracy issues when she initiates combat, in particular with Bolting. When leveling Constance, it is recommended that she be classed as a Warlock, Bishop, or Gremory for the 10% boost to her Magic growth, as Dark Flier does not apply any such bonus (it instead gives her extra Speed and Resistance growths, neither of which are as important to her as Magic). Constance's weaknesses in Axe and Heavy Armor mean Weight -3 and -5 are not worth trying to acquire, so her spells' Weight is always going to be an issue.

Overall, Constance can be thought of as a more-mobile, longer-ranged, but less reliable Lysithea who specializes in Anima rather than Dark magic. She'll take out just about any enemies she hits, but has to be kept away from danger. Fortunately, thanks to Bolting, she can easily stay out of an enemy's reach, and she can also pull an ally out of a bad spot with Rescue even from extreme ranges.

Constance and Hapi
Once all the fighting was over, Hapi and Constance set out together on a journey across Fódlan. They toured the land as they liked, watching it come together in the aftermath of war. They helped in the rebuilding effort here and there with magic and even the occasional sigh. When their wanderings were done, they returned to Garreg Mach, to which they also lent their restorative talents, both above and below the ground. It is said that they remained lifelong friends, steadfast through thick and thin forever after.
