“Certainly, Captain. I'd be happy to. We'll neutralize anyone in your way. You can count on me, sir.”
—Kyza in Radiant Dawn

Kyza (Kysha in the PAL region game versions) is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. They take on the role of a Laguz officer, serving under the command of Ranulf. Kyza is a superior officer to Lyre, and keeps her from acting out against others, alongside fighting over Ranulf's attention with her.

Personality[]

Kyza is a rather dutiful and loyal individual, but is perceived to be boring, stiff, and humorless by others around them. They are essentially the polar opposite of Lyre, with their differences repeatedly leading to heated arguments breaking out on a regular basis especially when competing for Ranulf's attention. Despite these feuds, Kyza and Lyre are close friends. Kyza tries to resolve conflicts within the army, calming Lyre down after Shinon offended her with bigoted slurs, and apologizing to Shinon on her behalf.

Despite their normally serious and formal demeanor, when around close friends, their behavior changes, talking and acting in a more feminine way.

Kyza has an obsession with their superior officer, Ranulf, and repeatedly tries to gain his attention.

Kyza, much like Lyre, has poor Base Stats but high growth rates. Both are poor starting out and may be chosen over the other Beast Laguz because they are easy to use and train. However, the other beast Laguz have very poor growth rates, but much better base stats. To make the best of them, follow the same strategy as Lyre: Blossom + Paragon. Bear in mind that Laguz gain much more experience when untransformed, just tapping an enemy netting a fair amount of EXP. Utilizing this can help Kyza and Lyre catch up to other Laguz faster and help make the most out of Blossom, though keep in mind the vulnerability of Laguz while untransformed.

Etymology[]

Kyza could be a variant of the Ganda name Kizza. The name is unisex and means "born after twins". Twins in the Ganda culture have their own special names. The parents and siblings earn a new name upon the birth of twins in the family.

Trivia[]

  • In a Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance support conversation between Ranulf and Lethe, Kyza and Lyre are both mentioned, hinting at their inclusion in the sequel, Radiant Dawn.
  • Kyza has unused support conversation data with Ranulf, Lyre, Meg, Mordecai, Muarim, and Zihark.
  • In the Japanese version of Radiant Dawn, Kyza uses pronouns and speech patterns generally used by women when around close friends like Lyre and Ranulf, talks in a masculine and professional tone when around strangers or authority figures, and is portrayed as effeminate while with these close friends.
    • In the Western localization, Kyza's private style of speaking is represented with occasional use of flamboyant words.
    • The Fire Emblem 20th Anniversary Encyclopedia section on Kyza is titled "The body is male, the heart is female?" and confirms Kyza is romantically attracted to Ranulf and competes with Lyre for his affection. Kyza's speaking style is shared with Excellus and Leon in the franchise.
    • In Meet The Heroes, Kyza is referred to using they/them pronouns.
      • Because of this, Kyza can be considered the first non-binary character in the Fire Emblem series, if not counting Limstella.
  • Kyza shares their English voice actor, Landon McDonald, with Elm and Rennac.
