In theFire Emblem series, some characters have a knownbirthday; in some games this has gameplay benefits and the date of the birthday itself may be referencing an event orFire Emblem series game release date. This page provides a summary of known birthdays within the franchise.

In the vast majority ofFire Emblem games character birthdays are generally unknown, though some important characters will have a birth year that can be figured out from official timelines or other media. The games' entire cast having fully defined birthdays in their profiles is a fairly recent development within the series. Currently only four main series games and one spin-off have defined birthdays for its playable cast.

Characters' birthdays are listed as the last line of their bio on the roster, which can be accessed by visiting thebarracks. Some of the characters' birthdays represent special dates.

If the system's clock matches one of the character's birthdays, the barracks will generate a special event, marked in red, that announces the character's birthday. If the barracks is visited on their birthday, that character gets a burst ofexperience, finds a randomitem, and gains a boost in two random stats.

The player choosesRobin's birthday when starting a new game. When the player enters the barracks on this day, the random character on the 3DS's lower screen will have a special message, wishing Robin a happy birthday with an amused expression. Characters who are children of or married to Robin will also have unique lines. On the bottom screen, Robin's spouse will no longer appear more often than other characters, as opposed to normal days. Should Robin share their birthday with another character, the bottom screen will show both characters at the same time, and two red events will be generated, with Robin's taking place first.
