—Yarne in his support with his mother, Panne.
Yarne is a playable child character in Fire Emblem Awakening. He is future son of Panne.
Profile[]
As the son of Panne and her human husband, Yarne was born in the future as the first known human-Taguel hybrid. This made him a clear sign that the Taguel would survive. Unfortunately, he lost both parents at a young age. His father's death was particularly painful: he promised to Yarne that he would return from battle, but died in the battle right after this conversation, breaking that promise.
With the death of his mother Panne, Yarne became the new "Last Taguel" in the world. Though Yarne has immense pride in his heritage, he also feels burdened by his "Last Taguel" status. Unlike the other children, Yarne does not mention having Panne's wedding ring, but is assumed to have followed suit. Seeing the opportunity as a means of self-preservation, Yarne joins Lucina and the other children to travel back to the past to prevent the ruinous future. Upon arriving in the past, separated from his friends, Yarne searched for strong allies to protect him and eventually stumbles upon the Stonewall Knights, whom he stays with until the revelation with Lucina at Carrion Isle.
In Yarne's Paralogue, a turf war between the Riders of Dawn and the Stonewall Knights erupts. Chrom's army arrives to break up the turf war. When Panne recognizes the scent of another Taguel, she finds and approaches Yarne, who instantly recognizes his mother. When Panne asks him why he is with a bunch of random warriors, he tells her that, to help him survive, he tagged along with them due to their strong defenses. Disappointed in her son's cowardice - going so far to hide behind other "man-spawn" - Panne tells Yarne that she will be teaching him Taguel pride through the battle. If Chrom talks to Yarne, he tells Chrom not to sneak up on him, but Chrom says he was standing right in front of Yarne, and asks him whether he should have waved first, or if that would have been too threatening. Yarne compares Chrom to a jester, and says that people die from much lesser things and that death is no laughing matter. Chrom tells Yarne that he should just surrender if he's afraid of death and has no desire to spill unnecessary blood. Yarne is surprised to hear that surrender is an option and joins the army. After the battle, Panne speaks to her son, happy to know that the Taguels have managed to live another generation, even if it now carries human blood. Yarne is merely happy to see her again and declares that he is proud of his Taguel heritage, which pleases Panne. Yarne joins Chrom's army, happy to be back with his mother.
After the war, Yarne departs on a journey to find somewhere safe to live. Ironically, this leads him into many dangers along the way. Luckily he manages to stay alive through all this and lives a long life.
During his support conversations with his mother, Yarne and Panne begin to build a relationship as a mother and son by making new habits and traditions, since neither of them have any recollection of their parents or traditional acts.
In his support with his father, Yarne is worried that his father may cheat on Panne, fearing that if he does, his existence may vanish. Though his father promises not to cheat on her, Yarne is still unsure and suspects he will break that promise because he broke his promise to come home. His father promises him that he will never cheat on Panne and that he'll stay alive for the sake of him and the version of him to be born later on.
During his supports with a female Morgan and a Female Robin, Yarne shows his distaste about being treated like a cute little bunny and hates being cuddled and petted. He is also extremely ticklish.
Personality[]
Yarne is cowardly, timid, and excessively worried as a result and is often on edge towards his surroundings. He is extremely sensitive to anything that poses a threat to his survival, even the most minuscule of actions or objects that are non-lethal except in the absurdly extreme of circumstances causes an overreaction.
Yarne is actually robust in constitution and is a skilled fighter, especially when pushed into a corner. Despite prioritizing his safety, he is more than willing to throw himself in the way of an enemy to protect a precious comrade. His primary motivation to become stronger is to namely increase his chances of survival. Upon arrival in the present, this has since evolved to also protect his mother so that she can live on this time.
Yarne carries an extreme weight on his shoulders as in the future, with the death of his mother, he has become the new "Last Taguel". Yarne fears for his life as a result and would rather avoid fighting at all costs as his death would lead to the extinction of the Taguel back in the future. When arriving in the present, he became paranoid that his father may cheat on Panne as if that were to occur, his present counterpart would cease to exist. With some assurance from his father, he is relieved that his father will remain faithful.
Like his mother, he has no knowledge of traditional Taguel customs, but the two vow to forge new ones for their descendants. He is the loudest person in the army.

Base Class[]
Yarne is the second Taguel of the game and the only Male one if not accounting for a Morgan fathered by him. This makes Yarne a powerful and unique unit in his own right. He inherits his mother's blistering Speed and great Skill and will always have a positive bonus no matter who is his father. Even though his Strength has higher variance compared to the former two stats, it will similarly remain positive and his Defense will never suffer a penalty. His Luck is among the lowest of the child characters and most end either neutral or negative with only two having a positive boost. His Resistance also is often hit with a lower cap, but he is hardly troubled by this since he will more likely dodge hits rather than rely on taking them.
As a Taguel he is locked to melee range through his Beaststone, but he is a powerful unit during the Valm arc of Awakening as the abundance of Horseback Units lets him decimate scores of them with Beastbane and retains his mother's strength, if not being even more elusive and likely to perform Follow-Up Attacks due to his emphasis on his Skill and Speed respectively.
Maternal Inheritance[]
By default, Yarne has the Thief and Barbarian classes, both of which benefit him greatly due to their emphasis on Speed and Evasion for the former and overwhelming offense with the latter, both of which will help him when likely reverting back to the Taguel. Thief is useful for the Movement +1 skill for additional movement, Pass to slip through wall enemies and attack more vulnerable targets, and Lethality as a skill to have if willing to rely on a low activating skill in exchange for a chance at a one-shot. Given his high Skill caps, he may actually be the one most likely to activate and potentially abuse it.
Barbarian mainly gives skills like Wrath to increase his critical hit chance and Counter from the Warrior can deal immediate damage if an enemy manages to tag him. Despoil, despite his low Luck caps, can let him generate gold if trying to farm Bullions.
Yarne is an interesting case as his mother does not have any gender-locked class, yet she has Wyvern Rider as her third class while he does not. While Yarne can inherit the class from a potential father, if he does not, he should inherit a skill form this class from Panne since he will not have it otherwise. The Griffon Rider's skills are his two best options, mainly Lancebreaker to help him avoid Beast Killers on an occasional enemy, probably his biggest weakness since he will take catastrophic damage if he is ever tagged by one of these enemies. If not Deliverer gives him a massive +2 Movement to his range while in Pair-Up and, when stacked on things like Movement +1 and if he has Boots and a Pair Up ally that boosts movement, in his native Taguel class, he can have a massive 10 movement.

| Timid Taguel Yarne | |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
Yarne's a taguel who came to Ylisse from the future. "But wait," you say, "wasn't Panne the last of the taguels?" Well, Yarne is actually her son, and he's inherited her taguel powers! | ||
|
Despite his fierce looks, Yarne's kind of a scaredy-cat sometimes. Maybe more than "kind of," actually—he'll jump a mile into the air if you call his name when he's not expecting it. | ||
|
When it comes to fighting, however, Yarne is true to his taguel heritage, zipping around the battlefield from one foe to the next like a whirlwind! A whirlwind with floppy ears! | ||
|
He might be easily frightened, but he's brave when it counts and will leap in to rescue his friends out of a tight spot. I guess that's something else he gets from his mom! | ||

Here's Yarne, a taguel who can transform into a rabbit-like form! He's making a special appearance to celebrate the New Year with us, and he's wearing a kimono that matches the one worn by his mom, Panne! | ||
|
Doesn't he look distinguished in his indigo-purple haori? He's also wearing hakama pants decorated with a tortoiseshell pattern, symbolizing longevity! | ||
|
To go with his outfit, Yarne has brought a charm in the image of his mother, Panne. It looks like it's very important to him—perhaps it represents his wish for the survival of the taguel? | ||
|
The fear of being the last of the taguel haunts Yarne, so he welcomed in the New Year with a few reps from his special Anti-Extinction Exercise Program. Looks to me like the taguel spirit is still going strong! | ||

|
Yarne is a taguel who can change into a beast form. For this appearance, though, he's wearing a special outfit to join us at the harvest festival! | ||
|
Seems the concept for this dark-colored costume is a well-loved plushie that's seen its fair share of wear and tear. Did you notice how he has makeup on his face and arms to represent stitches? | ||
|
Oh, and that's a taguel plushie he's holding onto! Looks like it's been stitched back together here and there, just like Yarne himself! | ||
|
Perhaps it's because of his timid personality, but Yarne seems a little hesitant about standing out. Still, I think this costume's good enough to steal the show! | ||

Etymology[]
Yarne is named after yarn. His Japanese name, Chambray, is a type of fabric. Both are soft, much like his personality, and are not suited for battle-type situations.
Both of his English and Japanese names also compliment his mother's (Panne and Velvet, respectively), as they are commonly used materials.
Trivia[]
- Yarne, for some reason, will not inherit the Wyvern Rider class from his mother despite the fact that the class is for both genders. He inherits the Barbarian related classes instead, indicating that Panne may have originally supposed to have the female only Pegasus Knight or Troubadour as an option. However, if his father also has the Wyvern Rider class, then he is not barred from the class.
- Yarne's birthday is the same day Fire Emblem Gaiden was first released in Japan and the same day Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn was first released in Europe.
- It is also on the same day as White Day, a holiday celebrated in Japan and other countries that is very similar to Valentine's Day.
- Yarne was voted the second least popular 2nd generation unit in the Fire Emblem Awakening Character Popularity Poll in Japan.
- Yarne's English voice actor, Christopher Corey Smith, is also one of the three male Robin's voices, Slayde in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Thales and Arundel in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, as well as Seth, Reinhardt, and Legion in Heroes.
- Unlike the other children, only a tuft on Yarne's hair inherits a color from his father. The rest of his hair always stays brown, no matter who his father is.
- The rest of his hair does appear in a slightly different color in his confession CG however; which depending on the tuft color will typically range from varying shades of black to dark brown.
- Since Panne's reclassing options are gender-neutral, Yarne is the only male child character who cannot inherit any skills from a female-only class. He shares this trait (albeit gender-flipped) with Lucina.
- Yarne's Critical Hit quote "I've got sharp, pointy teeth!" is likely a reference to the "Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog" from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
