Profile[]

Velouria is the daughter of Keaton. Like the other children of Fates, she was placed in the Deeprealms to protect her from the war.

In her Paralogue, Velouria is picking acorns, hoping to find the shiniest one to present to her father. She ends up wandering near the portal out of her Deeprealm where she picks up her father's scent. She decides to go out and find him, only to find invisible invaders in the middle of a battle against her father and his friends. She eventually finds Keaton and joins in the battle. After the battle, Velouria believes that Keaton set up the battle as a "game".

Keaton attempts to downplay his happiness in seeing his daughter, but Velouria picks it up thanks to his tail wagging. Keaton attempts to send her back to her Deeprealm, but Velouria refuses, wanting to join Keaton's "pack". Though Keaton continues to refuse, she presents a shiny acorn that she found. Keaton is impressed by the present and gives her a gift that he found himself; a bat carcass. Velouria is equally happy for her gift and her happiness is enough to convince Keaton to let her join the army.

After the war, Velouria travels to where her fathers pack lives and lives an average life. If she marries Male Corrin in Revelation, she will become the queen of Valla.

Personality[]

Velouria inherited many Wolfskin traits from her father, mainly her habit of collecting random items and storing it in her room. Due to her massive "treasure trove", she has the messiest room in the army. Regardless of if it's random plant items, animal carcasses, fur balls, or just plain garbage, she hoards anything that she finds interesting. In particular, she collects things to show off to her father and in turn is often amazed by the similar things he collects. Due to her incessant treasure collecting, she is sometimes aggressive when trying to get what she wants, even becoming outright hostile if denied whatever item she is coveting. Velouria expresses immense pride in her Wolfskin heritage and has no problem embracing its natural qualities such as being a forager, having a taste for humans (to an extent), and being ferocious in combat.

Outside of her treasure collecting, Velouria is rather reclusive and moody, preferring not to associate with others outside of her clan. She can be difficult to read and does not express her emotions in an obvious, visible manner. She is rather blunt about it once pushed and possesses a wicked tongue when annoyed. She can be lazy to a fault, and is uninterested in socializing with others. Initially, Velouria bluntly refused to participate in Selkie's extreme games and only became a willing participant when she discovered that Selkie produces valuable fur balls whenever she plays. Despite her initial disinterest, Velouria has genuine fun with those she associates with and quickly learns to enjoy fun with others from time to time.

Velouria is particularly fond of her parents. She is clingy to Keaton and when he tries to have her tone it down by putting a restraining order, she claims that it is "as worse as death for her". Nonetheless, she knows how to butter up to her father by presenting a few interesting things she finds. She loves her mother, particularly her flowery scent, and initially wants her to leave the war so she will have more opportunities afterward to spend with her as it is Wolfskin tradition to leave one's parents after reaching a certain age. The two develop a mutual understanding of staying in the war and she takes every opportunity to cuddle with her mother during downtime between battles.

Overall[]

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.

Base Class[]

As the daughter of Keaton, Velouria is a Wolfskin and inherits his bases. As such, she inherits his strong physical bulk thanks to a strong HP and Defense growth alongside a great Strength base and growth to hit hard with each blow. Compounded with a middling Speed growth and Velouria has great capabilities as a frontline physical tank. However, she inherits his poor Resistance, leaving her vulnerable to Diviners and other Tome/Scroll users. She also has a poor Skill growth inheritance, making her base hit and critical hit rates low and a bit of trouble activating offensive skills. She is well suited for her class, and depending on her mother, she can correct her flaws or enhance her strengths. She does need to be careful of anti-Beast Unit weapons as she retains her Beast Unit status regardless of her current class. Her personal skill, Goody Basket, gives her a 10% HP generation if it activates, giving her a little bit more survivability depending on her Luck.

She starts off with both of her Wolfskin skills, Odd Shaped, increasing her damage by 4 during odd numbered turns, and Beastbane, which makes her an Beast Unit killer. Her sole promotion is Wolfssegner, which boosts her strengths even more, but stays relatively the same. Her first skill is Better Odds, giving her a 40% HP regeneration every odd number turn which in tandem with her Personal Skill can lead to a 50% HP regeneration every other turn. Her second is Grisly Wound, removing 20% of the enemy's HP that she has battled, making her a good option for whittling down particularly bulk heavy units.

Parental Inheritance[]

Paternal[]

Keaton: Velouria inherits the Fighter line from her father. She will struggle initially due to having to start at E Rank Axes, although she can make it work with enough dedication. Even if choosing not to leave her in this classline, it still has skills worth picking up. Fighter offers HP +5, a useful skill to increase her durability and Gamble, although the latter isn't particularly useful due to her already shaky Skill growth. Fighter promotes to either Hero or Berserker. Unless planning to keep her in an axe using class, the latter can largely be ignored as Axefaire won't be useful and Rally Strength is better used on support units. Hero offers Sol, a useful recovery skill, and Axebreaker, which lets her take down Axe wielders with ease. As Velouria inherits all of Keaton's base classes, it might be useful to have him pass down a skill from one of his Friendship Seal classes. He can pass Wary Fighter from Friendship Sealing with Benny, which ensures Velouria won't be doubled, or Armored Blow to let her take down physical units with ease. In Revelation, he can pass down Quixotic from Friendship Sealing with Kaden. This skill is particularly useful, as it means Velouria will hit more often and be able to trigger her native Sol more often.

Maternal[]

Female Corrin: Female Corrin's varying stat adjustments due to her Boon and Bane leave Velouria's overall potential different in each playthrough. It should be noted that with Corrin as her mother, not only does Velouria have a Beast-Unit status, but also a Dragon Unit status, meaning she needs to be wary of even more weapons. Corrin passes down Nohr Princess, giving her two useful skills; Nobility for increased EXP gain and Dragon Fang, a powerful early attacking skill. In Conquest, her sole promotion is Nohr Noble. She gains Draconic Hex, crippling the enemy's stats whom she engages with, which further compliments Grisly Wounds. She also learns Nohrian Trust, allowing her to utilize the battle skills her partners. In Revelation, she retains the ability to access Nohr Noble, but also gains access to Hoshido Noble. She learns Dragon Ward, giving her partners an Pavise/Aegis shield and Hoshidan Unity, increasing the activation rates her skills by 10, which can boost her Personal Skill's activation.
Azura: Azura offers her the highest Speed modifier, although her defenses take a hit. Azura passes down the Sky Knight line. Darting Blow giver her an easier time doubling enemies, especially with the improved Speed. Camaraderie can stack with her personal skill and Better Odds to heal up to 70% HP. Falcon Knight offers Rally Speed, which isn't too useful for her, as she's better off in an offensive role, and Warding Blow, which lets her take down magic users with ease. Kinshi Knight offers Air Superiority, which can help her take down airborne units, and Amaterasu, a useful Aura skill. Azura can also pass down a unique skill from Songstress: Voice of Peace is the most useful, as it helps make up for the lower defenses Azura gives her.
Beruka: Beruka gives her the highest Skill modifier, and ties with Rinkah for highest Defense modifier. Unfortunately, she also drops her Speed, so if doing this pairing it may be prudent to have Keaton Friendship Seal with Benny and pass her Wary Fighter. Beruka passes down the Wyvern Rider line. The skills of the base class aren't particularly useful: Strength +2 is too minor, and Lunge is more useful on units with ranged attacks. Its promotions are a different story, however. Wyvern Lord offers Rally Defense and Swordbreaker, the latter being extremely useful to take down Sword users. Malig Knight offers Savage Blow, a great chip skill that stacks with Grisly Wound, enabling Velouria to inflict 40% damage on any enemy she can't kill in one round. Trample boosts her damage output against unmounted enemies. When used in combination with Beastbane, she'll be able to inflict bonus damage on every unit other than Wyvern Riders, Wyvern Lords, Malig Knights and Mechanists.
Camilla: Camilla gives her huge Strength and Defense modifiers, at +5 and +4 respectively. She also gives Velouria access to Dragon Veins. Camilla passes down the Wyvern Rider line, so consult Beruka's section above for more information.
Charlotte: Charlotte gives the highest Strength modifier, tied with Effie, sitting at a whopping +7. She also gets a nice +2 to Speed as well. However, she also inherits Charlotte's glass cannon growths, with her defense taking a hit and her resistance falling even further. Charlotte passes down the Troubadour line. Due to her non existent magic, there is little purpose reclassing Velouria into this line, as she will make a terrible healer. The only useful skill this line offers her is Tomebreaker from Maid to make her low Resistance a non issue. If wanting Velouria to have Tomebreaker, it's a better idea to have Charlotte pass it down.
Effie: Effie gives her the highest Strength, tied with Charlotte at +7. Effie also helps her good Defense, and unlike Beruka doesn't drop her Speed. Effie passes down the Knight line. Defense +2 isn't too helpful, as Velouria's Defense is high enough as is and the boost is relatively minor. Natural Cover is a helpful skill, as her Wolfssegner promotion can move through Forest and Mountain tiles more easily. The class promotes to Great Knight or General. Great Knight offers Luna, a useful attacking skill that lets her take down bulkier enemies. Armored Blow combined with the high Defense this pairing brings lets her take next to no damage against physical enemies on the player's phase. General offers Wary Fighter, although with Velouria's good Speed growths she probably won't need it unless she is unlucky with level ups. Pavise can make her all but impervious to physical attacks.
