Biography

It has been requested that references(s) be placed in this page or section. Please submit references to help improve this page and talk on this page's talk page about what references are needed. Remove this when this has been fixed.

Constance von Nuvelle is the sole survivor of House Nuvelle, a noble house of theAdrestian Empire that fell during the Dagda and Brigid War. The Nouvelle family was ostracized by other noble houses due to their support for the emperor in theInsurrection of the Seven; during Adrestia's war withDagda andBrigid, House Nuvelle was used as a sacrifice against the attacking forces, and all members of the family except Constance died in battle.^[2] When she was growing up, she would commonly visit House Bartels, and became friends withEmile andMercedes during her visits.^[3] She also became familiar with other noble children, especially the heir to House Aegir,Ferdinand.^[4]

Another reason for the decline of the Nuvelle family was that they did not intermarry with the outside world due to their own secrets. While it is listed that the house's Crest is the Crest of Macuil, in truth, they bear the Crest of Noa, one of the lost Crests of the Four Apostles.^[5] As the sole survivor, Constance is the sole bearer of the Crest. The fall of her house was so traumatic, she fears direct sunlight and suffers a severe change in personality when she is outdoors in the daytime.

Constance attended the Fhirdiad School of Sorcery; she graduated in Imperial Year 1177, the same year Mercedes enrolled.^[6] After graduating, Constance took refuge inAbyss as a member of theAshen Wolves, plotting her chance to revive her fallen house.

After the timeskip, if Constance was recruited, she returns toGarreg Mach on the day of the millennium festival and accompanies the group throughout the war. If not recruited, Constance disappears from Abyss, and her whereabouts are unknown.

Analysis

Constance is one of two primary spellcasters from the Ashen Wolves house, the other beingHapi. She is essentially theblack magic counterpart toLysithea, with the same high growth inmagic, albeit with a slightly higher cap. Unfortunately, magic is her only high-growth stat; all of her other stats, especiallyHP,strength,luck, anddefense, are at best average or outright poor. Constance's spell list is exceptional, with spells likeFimbulvetr andAgnea's Arrow dealing extremely high magical damage. Furthermore, she is one of the few units that can learn the rare and powerful spellBolting, and is arguably the only unit in the game that can use it effectively due to the disadvantages of the other two Bolting users:Manuela has a Reason weakness, whileHilda has low magic. Constance also has access toSoulblade, a swordcombat art that makes use of her higher magic stat andresistance, resulting in a much more powerful blow than most of her other spells.

Constance's personal skill,Circadian Beat, will grant her a small boost in defense and resistance when fighting in maps with sunny skies, while instead boosting strength and magic when fighting in maps with cloudy or rainy skies, or that take place indoors; the effect is reflected in her portrait, with her eyes shaded and sporting a sad expression if the defensive boosts are active. In Part I, slightly more than half of the maps are indoors or overcast, granting her the offensive boost; however, in Part II, nearly all maps in all routes are outdoors and sunny, granting her the unfavorable defensive boost, as she is already extremely frail, and three points in her defensive stats rarely save her from being one-shot.

Constance has a Budding Talent inBrawling, which when realized will grant herMystic Blow, giving her a total of three magical combat arts to use. However, pursuing brawling is not a good idea with Constance for a variety of reasons. Constance will deal almost no damage with physical weapons, especially gauntlets, due to her low strength. Additionally, despite Mystic Blow offering +10 to Might, Brawling weapons have very low might to begin with, resulting in Mystic Blow being stuck at 14 might (Silver Gauntlets), while Soulblade will easily outdamage it at 14+(0.3*Resistance) MT with aSilver Sword. Furthermore, Mystic Blow cannot perform a follow-up attack, which means that until she reaches A-rank in Brawling and can use the magicalAura Knuckles, themselves hard to obtain without the Pagan Altar, she will be unable to capitalize on gauntlets' main strength, which is their ability todouble attack. War Cleric is the only class that gives her access to Brawling and her spells, but it halves her spell uses and lowers her damage output with spells. Constance's hidden talent is more or less a gimmick that, until very late in the game, will produce worse results than her spells and Soulblade.

Constance'sCrest of Noa grants her a 20% chance to save spell charges when casting spells, similar toAnnette's Minor Crest of Dominic, but with a higher proc rate. The effect is still unreliable due to its low activation rate, but it can be helpful when it gives her an extra use of Bolting or Agnea's Arrow. With a Crest, Constance can still wield allHeroes' Relics without suffering backlash damage. As a result, she can useThyrsus to greatly improve the range of her spells.

Constance is better off following a magical promotion path due to her excellent array of spells and high magic growth. The best way to accomplish this is for her to be promoted toMonk, then toMage, while also mastering the class forFiendish Blow. You can then promote her to aWarlock and then to aGremory if you want extra spell charges for both Black magic and White magic, or she can promote toDark Flier. The Dark Flier class provides excellent mobility without resistance from terrain, as well as havingBlack Tomefaire as an innate ability. Constance also appreciates mastering theValkyrie class, as the abilityUncanny Blow can help compensate for her shaky accuracy with some of her powerful spells. Depending on how the player wishes to use her, she can excel in mounted classes because they give her access toCanto, or as a Gremory for doubled spell uses of Bolting and Rescue. A somewhat oddball pick for a magical unit would beMortal Savant. Mortal Savant actually gives more magical attacking power than Gremory due to having a +2 class modifier, and a +5Black Tomefaire modifier. Gremory only gives a general +5 class modifier. Warlock actually boasts the highest damage output with a +3 modifier and Black Tomefaire equaling a +8, but is not great with a pitiful four movement. Gremory and Mortal Savant are more practical with having more movement and their own unique attributes. Constance also does great in Mortal Savant with getting a base seventeen strength with its base stats, and having bothSoulblade andHexblade being supercharged withSwordfaire.

As a final note, while Constance is a ferociously strong spellcaster on any of the four routes, she is an especially good pick on the Crimson Flower route due to her supporting Edelgard, Ferdinand, and Jeritza (allowing linked attack boosts when she has Bolting equipped) and being the only competent wielder of Rescue available (Flayn deserts, while Bernadetta and Anna have fairly low magic stats). While Constance can be recruited as early asChapter 2, she will come with a base Faith rank of E unless she is recruited between chapters 3 and 5.

Despite her long stay in Abyss, Constance dreams of reviving House Nuvelle. Her polite speech cannot hide her domineering nature. She acts different when in sunlight compared to indoors. When indoors, she speaks in an excited tone and frequently laughs loudly; when outdoors, she speaks in a much more reserved tone, she apologizes frequently, and she has little self confidence.

Constance has an adoration for sorcery, and often creates spells of her own. She seeks to gain recognition from the world for her magical talents.

In the Japanese version, she speaks formally. For example, Constance refers to herself using the formal私watakushi instead of the more usual私watashi, and she uses the polite forms of verbs.

Endings

Constance's title is "Scion of Nuvelle" on the Crimson Flower route only.

Constance, Sorcery Incarnate (single ending, Silver Snow, Azure Moon, Verdant Wind)
For her service in war, and her innovations in magic, Constance von Nuvelle was among the first to receive peerage in the new Fódlan. For generations thereafter, her noble house was valued as a leader in magical research and development.

Constance, Scion of Nuvelle (single ending, Crimson Flower)
For her service in war, and her innovations in magic, Constance Von Nuvelle was among the first to receivepeerage from Emperor Edelgard. Though her noble house was given no guarantee of power on a hereditary basis, Constance made certain that House Nuvelle would be valued as the leader in magical research and development for generations to come.

Byleth, Wandering Flame/Ruler of Dawn & Constance, Sorcery Incarnate (Silver Snow, Verdant Wind)
After ascending to the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan, Byleth announced his marriage to Constance, who was given peerage for her service in the war and permitted to revive House Nuvelle. Praised for her innovative talent, she rapidly rose to prominence in the new era, and her house came to be relied upon as a valued leader in magical research and development for generations to come. She was not without detractors, however. Jealous rumors persisted throughout her life that the rays of the sun compelled her to retreat into hiding, threatening to reveal her monstrous true form.

Byleth, Guardian of Order & Constance, Sorcery Incarnate (Azure Moon)
After taking his place as the new archbishop of the Church of Seiros, Byleth announced his marriage to Constance, who was given peerage for her service in war and permitted to revive House Nuvelle. Praised for her innovative talent, she rapidly rose to prominence in the new era, and her house came to be relied upon as a valued leader in magical research and development for generations. Though the couple was known during their time as pioneer reformers for the church, they were remembered best for their charming, if unnerving, anecdotes of a wife's relentless insistence on using her husband as a test subject for experiments.

Byleth, Wings of the Hegemon & Constance, Scion of Nuvelle (Crimson Flower)
Almost as soon as Byleth and Constance were wed in a spectacular ceremony, the battle with those who slither in the dark began in earnest. Constance's efforts to understand and implement the magical techniques of the enemy quickly became instrumental, both to the fight and to the era of peaceful Imperial rule that followed. Though, the couple was known during their time for their countless contributions to the Empire, they were remembered best for their charming, if unnerving, anecdotes of a wife's relentless insistence on using her husband as a test subject for experiments.

Edelgard, Flame Emperor & Constance, Scion of Nuvelle
For her service in the war and her innovations in magic, Constance von Nuvelle was among the first to receive peerage from Emperor Edelgard. Though her noble house was given no guarantee of power on a hereditary basis, Constance made certain that House Nuvelle would be relied upon in helping to achieve Edelgard's vision of a new social order. The emperor kept Constance close at hand and routinely recognized her counsel as valuable, which helped to bolster Constance's own sense of worth. It is rumored that the two were also dear personal friends and that they would slip away from duties of governance to traipse through the capital together.

Ferdinand, Noblest of Nobles & Constance, Sorcery Incarnate (Silver Snow, Azure Moon, Verdant Wind)
After officially becoming the new Duke of Aegir, Ferdinand found that he had a new neighbor in Constance, whose revived noble house was granted the old Hrym territory for its domain. They were married in short order, and their adjoining territories were merged. The couple's diverse talents helped them overcome countless obstacles together, in pursuit of a restored land. They had many children, including one who became well-known in her own right for the advancements she brought to her mother's research. For generations thereafter, House Nuvelle stood at the forefront of magical progress.

Ferdinand, Noblest of Nobles & Constance, Scion of Nuvelle (Crimson Flower)
After officially becoming the new Duke Aegir, Ferdinand found that he had a new neighbor in Constance, whose revived noble house was granted the old Hrym territory for its domain. It was a prescient move by Emperor Edelgard, as Ferdinand and Constance were quick to marry and merge their adjoining territories. The couple's diverse talents helped them overcome countless obstacles together, in pursuit of a restored land and a new social order for the Empire.

Mercedes, Benevolent Soul & Constance, Sorcery Incarnate/Scion of Nuvelle
After the war, Constance and Mercedes traveled together to the school of sorcery in Fhirdiad. There, they immersed themselves in magical research and, with the help of their friends and all the school's resources, made one astounding discovery after another. Their considerable achievements led to the revitalization of both House Nuvelle and House Martritz. The pair grew increasingly close over the years so that, as time wore on, they became less like friends and more like family. It is said that, years later, each began to speak of the other as if she were a dear sister.

Jeritza, Bloodstained Demon & Constance, Scion of Nuvelle
After the war, Jeritza and Constance joined the battle against those who slither in the dark. In that dire struggle, which raged across the continent, Constance earned her noble title with powerful magic that proved essential to victory. Her rise in status ruffled more than a few feathers, but Jeritza kept the Imperial nobility in line. It is said, in the ballads composed about the couple, that they swore their wedding vows in the beautiful rose garden they had planted together on the Nuvelle estate.

Yuri, Underground Lord & Constance, Sorcery Incarnate/Scion of Nuvelle
After the war, Constance devoted herself to her magical research. Her unorthodox methods allowed her to make great strides, which earned her acclaim and eventually enabled her to restore her noble house. Afterward, almost as if to spite her detractors, she married Yuri. The pair made a happy, if unconventional, couple, as the husband frequently ventured away for months on end. In the long years of their marriage, however, Constance laughed off any concerns—she was known to say that Yuri always knew how to find his way home. Many decades later, he passed away in bed alongside his beloved wife.

Balthus, King of Grappling & Constance, Sorcery Incarnate (Silver Snow, Azure Moon, Verdant Wind)
For her service in war, and her innovations in magic, Constance von Nuvelle was among the first to receive peerage in the new Fódlan. The very next day, she and Balthus were wed, and the couple set about the restoration of House Nuvelle. For their domain, they claimed not the land once ruled by that house, but rather an area in the east of Leicester that encompassed Kupala. There, they became known as advocates for the mountain folk, and as nobles who lived moment to moment as outlandishly as they pleased.

Balthus, King of Grappling & Constance, Scion of Nuvelle (Crimson Flower)
After the war, Balthus and Constance joined the battle against those who slither in the dark. The devastation they wrought in Shambhala was immortalized in a tapestry, entitled "Avatars of War," which preserved their legacy for generations. Afterward, the two were married. Constance was among the first to receive peerage from Emperor Edelgard, and though Balthus sometimes chafed from being at the mercy of his wife's whims, the couple worked diligently to solidify the new social order under Imperial rule. House Nuvelle was given no guarantee of continued power on a hereditary basis but nevertheless achieved lasting status as a leader in the magical arts.

Constance, Sorcery Incarnate/Scion of Nuvelle & Hapi, Freed Spirit
Once all the fighting was over, Hapi and Constance set out together on a journey across Fódlan. They toured the land as they liked, watching it come together in the aftermath of war. They helped in the rebuilding effort here and there with magic and even the occasional sigh. When their wanderings were done, they returned to Garreg Mach, to which they also lent their restorative talents, both above and below the ground. It is said that they remained lifelong friends, steadfast through thick and thin forever after.
