Oboro (オボロ) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Fates and an ally in the Hoshido and Revelations routes. She is voiced by Nozomi Sasaki in the Japanese version.
Profile
Oboro's family owned a well known Kimono Shop, but her parents were killed by Nohrian soldiers when she was young. Oboro herself was taken in by some relatives who worked for the Hoshido nobility, learned how to be a lancer and eventually became a soldier for the Hoshido army. She found herself in service of Takumi soon after.
In her support with Beruka, Oboro learns that it was Beruka's adopted father who killed her parents. This is because her family worked closely with the Hoshidan royalty, so they gained political and economic influence and became a target of Nohr to the point that an assassin was hired to get them out of the way. Requesting to meet Beruka's father to exact her revenge, Beruka informs her that she already killed him. Although Beruka offers to let her kill her in exchange, Oboro refuses, preferring to work with her to bring peace to the world after realizing that she's in a cycle of revenge.
Personality
Oboro has a severe hatred of Nohr because they killed her parents, going so far as to cause her to make an angry face that terrifies others whenever she thinks about or sees Nohrians. She found solace in the Hoshido army, especially under the service of Prince Takumi, who she has developed a crush on. As the daughter of a Kimono Shop owner, Oboro has a good fashion sense and is always up to date with the latest trends. She is also very active and protective of her fellow soldiers, working hard to keep the army well taken care of - from fighting to arranging clothes, to making sure they're well-fed and healthy. She changes her attire the most. Her birthday is November 28.
