Biography

Main story

Early life

Veyle was born the daughter of Sombron and an unnamed Mage Dragon mother, and was the youngest of Sombron's children.^[1] During theFirst Fell Dragon War, Veyle never once saw battle. After all their other siblings had been killed, she first met Alear, during which Alear gave their dragonstone to Veyle to show that they would always be with her,^[5] and as a reminder that as long as the stone remained intact, they were still alive.^[6] This dragonstone would serve as a protective charm to Veyle, who held onto it in the hopes they would eventually reunite.^[7]

After Sombron was sealed by Alear,^[8] Veyle's mother was killed for her involvement with Sombron.^[9] Due to widespread rumors of the last of Sombron's children surviving, Veyle went into hiding, until she came into contact with worshipers of the Fell Dragon. She became close to them, and they let her sleep in a hidden temple until Sombron's resurrection. However, by the time she awoke, centuries later, they had all died;^[10] only a man namedMauvier resided there to witness her awakening. Though Mauvier refused her offer to be her friend, he accepted becoming her knight, being in her service from that moment on.^[11]

Though Veyle was overjoyed to reunite with her father, he quickly proclaimed her a defect after discovering her inability to summonEmblems.^[12] Because of her lacking abilities and overwhelming kindness, he orderedZephia to manipulate Veyle's personality, resulting in the creation of an alternate, cruel, and obedient "dark personality".^[13] While her true personality ran away from home, unwilling to perform the cruel acts she was tasked to perform^[14] and attempting to reunite with her long-lost sibling in the hopes they could convince Sombron to end the war,^[15] her dark personality worked with theFour Hounds, whom Mauvier joined, to do Sombron's bidding. They approached KingHyacinth ofElusia, who was coerced into becoming Sombron's compliant puppet;^[16][17] as a result, they were able to turnElusia Castle into their base of operations.

At an unknown point in time before she awoke, Veyle buried her own dragonstone in an unknown location in order to prevent herself from transforming into a draconic form, not wanting to use it to harm others.^[18]

Encountering Alear

Veyle meetingAlear atFlorra Mill Town.

At the start of the war, she is ordered to break intoLythos Castle, during which she kills QueenLumera and steals four of the six Emblem Rings in Lythos from the castle's vault, but drops theDraconic Time Crystal while retreating. She travels toFirene to continue gathering the Emblem Rings, before her true personality takes over again. Noticing the attack onFlorra Mill Town, Veyle rushes in to assist the people living there, saving Alear's life in the process. They introduce themselves to each other before Veyle vanishes; due to the millennium between their meetings, neither recognizes the other as their sibling. Her dark personality takes over again, meeting with Zephia after the attack on Firene Castle and suggesting they retreat.

Having returned to her true personality at some point, Veyle travels towards theBrodian border, near which she encounters Alear again, who bandages a deep wound Veyle had obtained. They become friends, and Veyle explains her goal of finding her lost sibling before the two part ways. Veyle continues fending off the Corrupted, before her dark personality regains control and returns to Elusia. Her true self reawakens with no memory of how she traveled to Elusia, meeting Alear once more and pointing them toDestinea Cathedral where a ritual to revive Sombron's powers is meant to take place. When she notices Alear's Emblem Ring, her dark personality almost overpowers her, but she resists and runs away before her true personality loses consciousness.

Inside Destinea Cathedral, Veyle oversees the completion of the ritual. Once Sombron's powers are restored, she appears to the Divine Dragon and King Hyacinth after their battle, announcing the return of the Fell Dragon. When Hyacinth is about to be struck down, Veyle saves his life; however, this was done to allow Sombron to consume him, too, and become even stronger. As Veyle laughs at the cruelty of her father's betrayal, a grief-strickenHortensia pulls down the hood which was concealing her identity, revealing to Alear that Veyle is the same person who attacked the Ring Vault in Lythos Castle and killed Lumera. She introduces herself as Sombron's daughter and, while Alear and their army are distracted, steals back the Draconic Time Crystal, which she uses to take the six Emblem Rings Alear had gathered. She attempts to hunt down Alear through theShadowy Moor as their army makes its escape, but they escape from her with the help of Hyacinth's daughterIvy and her two retainers, who betrayed Sombron and managed to steal the Time Crystal from Veyle. As punishment for Ivy's betrayal, Veyle creates Corrupted Hyacinth to serve her before returning to Elusia Castle. She orders the Four Hounds to stand down, allow Alear to continue gathering Emblem Rings, and instead focus their efforts on attacking Firene; afterwards, she travels toSolm, where her dark personality finally loses consciousness.

Veyle's true self continues the search for her still-living sibling, oblivious to her other personality's actions. Soon after, she notices a skirmish at theNorthern Fortress and finds Alear present, happily greeting them—however, she is confronted by Alear and their allies on the atrocities her other self has committed, causing her to flee in panic and confusion. She comes acrossGriss, a member of the Four Hounds, soon after, telling him about the encounter; Griss, understanding the situation, assures Veyle of her innocence and offers to accompany her to meet the Divine Dragon again to "set things straight". She joins Griss and Zephia on the Elusian fleet headed to Firene, unaware of its true purpose. During their travels, Veyle shares with them her desire to reunite with her sibling, showing the dragonstone in her possession as irrefutable proof that they are still alive.

Struggle between personalities

Veyle's dark personality atFlorra Port.

During Elusia's attack onFlorra Port, Veyle is with the Four Hounds as Alear arrives to fend them off. Alear accuses her of orchestrating the attack, to which Veyle denies any knowledge of their horrific intentions. However, when she tries to ask Griss and Zephia for confirmation, they reveal the existence of her dark personality, alongside the fact that she personally ordered them to massacre the people of Firene. Despite Veyle's wishes, Zephia proceeds to awaken her dark personality, proving her existence as a separate identity to Alear. The dark Veyle excitedly leads the battle against the Divine Dragon's army, wielding Dark Emblem Marth herself while deploying the Four Hounds and Corrupted Hyacinth. The battle ends in a loss for Elusia, forcing the Hounds and Veyle to retreat. Having exerted herself in battle, Veyle's dark personality loses consciousness during their retreat; the real Veyle uses this opportunity to ask for the Emblem Ring Zephia possesses, which she tosses overboard and guides towards Alear, apologizing profusely to them for her other self's actions and affirming how much their friendship meant to her.

After the events at Florra Port, Veyle has fallen into a deep slumber, but is able to keep her dark personality from reawakening despite Zephia's efforts. When Sombron is made aware of this, he gifts Zephia an enchanted helmet, which amplifies the spell's effects, with the aim of eliminating the true Veyle entirely. Though Mauvier protests against continued usage of the spell to draw out her dark personality, Zephia employs the helmet as soon as Veyle wakes up, forcing her dark personality to resurface and remain dominant as long as she wears it. Now fully able to commit herself to Sombron, she travels with him to Lythos, where the Fell Dragon intents to raise his lost kingdomGradlon.

When Veyle confronts the Divine Dragon's army in Lythos Castle,Marni, who had become sympathetic towards Veyle's true self, is able to damage the helmet at the cost of her own life, which eventually allows Veyle to regain control over her body. Freed from the spell's control, she rejects her father's orders to reclaim the Emblem Rings, causing him to attack her; however, Alear shields her from the attack, resulting in their death. The dragonstone Veyle carries with her shatters, revealing Alear to be the lost sibling she was searching for—but before she has the time to properly mourn them, Zephia overpowers her mind again, aided by the broken helmet and Sombron's increased strength after using the 12 Emblem Rings. Due to the mental struggle, Veyle is on the verge of death herself. She meets Alear between life and death, where Alear convinces her to life on and become the dragon who saves the world she wants to be. Awakening with new resolve, she manages to overpower her other self and destroy the helmet. She resurrects Alear as aCorrupted, though Alear is soon after given new life by the miracle of the Emblems, and the two are finally united as siblings.

Against Sombron

As Veyle joins the Divine Dragon's army, they aim to stop Sombron from invading other worlds. They must destroy the three Fell Dragon Shards across Gradlon to reach him, which Veyle is able to sense due to being a Fell Dragon, as they power a powerful barrier guarding him. The first shard is guarded by Zephia and Griss, who Veyle unsuccessfully tries to convince to stand down. After a fierce battle, Sombron's Hounds are struck down, allowing Veyle to say a final goodbye to her former allies. As she lays dying, Zephia gifts Veyle an enchanted crystal to aid her in destroying the second, otherwise-impossible-to-break shard. Promising to always remember her, she thanks Zephia for all she's done for her and leaves, heartbroken but determined.

She uses Zephia's enchanted crystal to reach─and break─the second shard, after which she senses the third shard being guarded byCorrupted Lumera inGradlon Temple. Though Veyle attempts to defeat the resurrected Divine Dragon Queen herself for the sake of her sibling, Alear intervenes, and they defeat Corrupted Lumera together. With the shards broken, the barrier is destroyed, allowing Alear and their army to reach Sombron. Ultimately, they succeed in defeating Sombron and returning peace to Elyos.

After the war

Veyle helping people atGivre Port.

After Sombron's defeat, Veyle plans to atone for her other self's actions during the war.^[19] She wishes to help others,^[20] including rebuilding the settlements she helped destroy,^[21] as well as personally apologise to the people she wronged.^[22] She also looks after Gradlon; though she initially refuses to become Queen of Gradlon, she accepts the title a century later in accordance with her people's wishes.^[23]

Fell Xenologue

In another Elyos, Veyle was born as a daughter to Sombron,^[24] presumably alongside a twin sibling.^[25] Despite the harsh, might-makes-right culture among Fell Dragon children,^[26] she maintained her kindness,^[27] though she remained with Sombron. She took Mauvier as her knight, who took an oath to protect her─however, during the second war against Sombron, she was killed in a meaningless battle,^[28] which resulted in Mauvier switching sides.^[29]

Fire Emblem Engage

Role

Veyle is a supporting character and recurring antagonist, before becoming a playable character. She initially appears at the end ofChapter 3 as an anonymous enemy general. She is formally introduced afterChapter 4, and reappears inChapter 6,Chapter 7, andChapter 9 to assist Alear, reveal her goal to reunite with her sibling, and fend off the Corrupted. InChapter 10, her antagonistic role is revealed, and she appears as a stationary boss in the ensuingChapter 11, during which she is immune to all in-combat damage and cannot be defeated. She is shown in cutscenes afterChapter 12 andChapter 14, and reappears afterChapter 15 to assist Alear again, but is fended off by them and their allies. She appears once more in a cutscene afterChapter 16, discussing her goal of reuniting with her sibling to Zephia and Griss.

Veyle serves as a boss duringChapter 17, after Zephia reawakens her dark personality. She is paired with the Dark EmblemMarth, and begins moving when nearby allies are provoked: a nearbyHigh Priest,Royal Knight, orPaladin on Normal Mode; the aforementioned alongsideCorrupted Hyacinth and a nearbyGeneral orCorrupted Wyrm on Harm Mode; and the aforementioned alongsideZephia on Maddening Mode. She possesses oneRevival Stone, and obtainsMercurius andBreak Defenses after using it.

Veyle reappears as the boss ofChapter 21, her true personality forced to lay dormant by an enchanted helmet. She is paired with Dark EmblemMarth once again, and begins moving when nearby allies are provoked: a nearbyGeneral,Thief,Sage, orHigh Priest on Normal and Hard Mode, and the aforementioned alongside the nearbySwordmaster on Maddening Mode. She starts on aprotection tile and, on Hard and Maddening Mode, will not move beyond the protection tiles, which grant her +30avoid,Break immunity, and 10 HP recovery every turn. Unlike her previous appearance, she is able to useLodestar Rush again after not using it for two (Normal) / one (Hard/Maddening) turn(s). She possesses twoRevival Stones, but does not obtain any additional benefits when using them.

Veyle joins automatically on turn 1 ofChapter 22, having rid herself of her dark personality for good. She possesses a unique variant of theFell Child class. Herpersonal weapons are the magic knifeMisericorde and the dark tomeObscurité, sharing only the latter with the enemy-exclusiveSombron, as well asNel andRafal if they arereclassed to a tome-wielding class. Her personal skill,Fell Protection, allows adjacent allies to deal +1 damage and take 3 less damage; alongside that, her unique class additionally grants her the skillFell Spirit, which fills herengage meter by 1 at the start of each turn.

Analysis

One thing to note about Veyle is that her unique class ability, which charges the engage meter by one step per turn, can by itself break the game in interesting ways, such as by enabling massive experience generation through repeated use of Tiki or Byleth's engage attacks.

If the player does not wish to resort to such shenanigans, the Fell Child class still counts as a Dragon and therefore offers strong interactions with other emblems, most notably Soren's which will enable Veyle to always crit while engaged, becoming a terrifying offensive unit. If any enemies remain after four turns of Veyle wreaking chaos, she can recharge the engage meter quite easily with her class ability andNova. This does not make Veyle invincible, as the Fell Child class offers poor overall stats and growths, with a Spd of just 23+0.5/level (with Tiki's Starsphere, which is questionable on Veyle). While a Soren-supported Veyle will not need to double to one-round, she will easily be doubled and destroyed on defense, with enemy units already boasting 30+ Spd by the time she joins. If Veyle is to hold Soren's emblem, saving Speedwings for her should be considered, she will also appreciate a pair of Boots which can fortunately be found two chapters after her recruitment. Corrin and Byleth similarly synergize well with Fell Child, with the former allowing her to create all forms of terrain effects, and the latter giving her Instructs and Goddess Dances buffs to every stat. If Soren and other Dragon-friendly emblems are needed elsewhere, the Fell Child class offers little and Veyle's reclassing options should be explored.

Levin Sword Griffin Knight is a safe choice, immediately boosting Veyle's speed to 29, which she can further increase through tonics, skills and an emblem ring. This will allow her to double most targets, capitalizing on her high Mag. On top of alleviating Veyle's speed shortage, Griffin Knight also gives her solid stats and growths everywhere else, effectively making her a slightly weakerChloé, which is still quite good, especially considering how little investment is needed.

Unlike most units that start with high SP, Veyle may not want to immediately inherit Tiki's Starsphere, as her starting level is very high. If a good number of side missions remain unplayed upon her recruitment, and she will be used as a dominant unit with Soren (or perhaps just Engage+), she can expect to gain another 15 or so levels before the (very challenging) final two chapters, in which case Tiki has some merit. If Veyle is to see limited deployment, then using both slots for instantly useful skills such as Spd+3 and Speedtaker makes more sense.

If the player doesn't expect Veyle to get much more EXP (and consequently SP), then she won't mind the SP gain penalty from a bond ring and can explore some exotic reclass options, such as a Thunder Mage Knight with an Olwen S ring, or a Radiant Bow Knight with a Claude S ring; Veyle is a better choice that most units for bows or 3-range spells, as her personal ability gives her some enemy phase presence even if her weapon is ill-suited to counterattacking.

Story

Veyle initially appeared inAskr through a portal opened in Elyos, alongsideCorrupted Lumera. Under Sombron's orders, she set out to find the Emblem Rings in Askr, but was initially halted by a version ofLilith, who threatened her to leave the kingdom.^[30] Insulted at the notion that someone else would threaten her, Veyle attacked Lilith, leading the two to clash—but when Veyle mentioned she could not afford to lose, as she would be considered a disposable defect by Sombron, Lilith stopped the fight, noting their similarities. She left, declaring Veyle not a threat to Anankos and allowing her to continue following her orders.^[31]

She went on to burn down villages at the Askran border alongside Corrupted Lumera, telling theOrder of Heroes to hand over the Emblem Rings in Zenith to avoid further losses.^[32] Furthermore, she entered an alliance withNergal, who revealed his tampering with theDragon's Gate's power to be the cause behind the appearance of the portal in Elyos,^[33] to continue fighting the Heroes and sow destruction. After the town was evacuated, she confronted the Order of Heroes once again. This time, PrincessVeronica intervened and started closing the portal back to Elyos. Not wanting to remain stuck, Veyle took Corrupted Lumera and retreated, vowing to return one day.^[34]

Some time later, she had been summoned and made a member of the Order of Heroes. WhenNel,Rafal,Zelestia, andYunaka returned from a mission for the Order, Veyle teamed up withZephia to ambush them, with the aim of killing Nel and Rafal and becoming Sombron's only living child.^[35] After a fierce battle, Veyle was about to strike down Zelestia before Princess Veronica once again intervened, demanding answers. Though Veyle attempted to appeal to Veronica's villainous past,^[36] the Emblian princess joined the side of the ambushed Heroes, who successfully fended off their attackers.

Story

At some point, Veyle was invited to one ofAskr's spring festivals. Though she thoroughly enjoyed herself, she lost sight of her surroundings and approachedLon'qu for assistance.^[37] Despite him brushing her off, she innocently asked if they could be friends as they both wore rabbit ears and started following him around.^[38] WhenOlivia and Plumeria's dance performance was about to start, Lon'qu left to avoid the commotion—Veyle, believing him to leave to help guide other people, followed to help him.^[39]

Personality

This section has been marked as astub. Please help improve the page by adding information.

Veyle has two personalities: her true personality, which is gentle and kind, and a "dark personality",^[40][41] which formed after Zephia used magic to strengthen her draconic impulses in order to make her a more desirable child to Sombron.^[42] While one consciousness is awake, the other sleeps, with neither personality sharing memories with the other while dormant.^[43][44][45] Once the true self is made aware of her dark personality, she is able to resist its awakening despite further attempts to strengthen her draconic impulses;^[46] contrarily, her dark personality is unable to prevent the true Veyle from waking up by herself.

The personalities have noticeably different speaking styles, with the dark personality speaking in a deeper tone and using less childish terms like "Father" instead of "Papa". In the Japanese script, Veyle's true personality speaks mostly in hiragana to represent her innocent demeanor, while her dark personality speaks fully in kanji to contrast it.

Unlike her true personality, Veyle's dark personality is loyal to Sombron and takes pride in her Fell Dragon heritage,^[2] believing her race to be superior to Divine Dragons and humans alike.^[47] She sees herself as the true Veyle, as well as the only one worthy of Sombron's legacy.^[48][49] To this end, she tries to help fulfil his goals and seeks to end Alear personally—both to prevent her father's plans from being interfered with as well as to ensure she is the only child of Sombron remaining.^[50][51] She views her true self as a pathetic defect, and wishes for her to be destroyed for good.^[45][52]

Her dark personality enjoys acts of cruelty,^[53] skillfully targeting the weaknesses of her opponents,^{[54][55][56][57]} as well as rubbing in their shortcomings and failures.^[58][59][60] She particularly enjoys "toying" with her foes, taunting them when she believes herself to have the upper hand.^[61][62] She is shown to have excessive confidence in her own abilities,^[63] and is exceedingly irritated when faced with failure.^[64][65] She is also rather cunning, letting Alear collect the individual rings for her^[66] and intentionally playing into the desires of her allies to ensure their loyalty,^[67] despite—as theorized by the true Veyle—not genuinely recognizing them as dependable allies.^[68] In her final moments, this comes to haunt her; she is only able to beg for her father's help, who similarly does not truly care for her.^[69]

After her dark personality is sealed away for good, Veyle wonders if it is considered dead and able to pass on to the afterlife.^[70] Though she believes it to be gone, she still expresses worry about it returning;^[71][72] worries which can be proven right should Alear lose the final battle.

The true Veyle and her dark personality have different tastes in food; whereas the true Veyle loves spicy food and dislikes sweets, her dark personality adores sweets and cannot stand spicy food.^[73][74]

InHeroes, Veyle's dark personality is portrayed as still sharing a body with her true personality, with the latter stirring^[75] but unable to truly awaken.^[76] Despite being in another world, she still intends to carry out her mission of gathering the Emblem Rings for Sombron, whether she's been summoned^[77] or not.^[78] Her goal of being Sombron's only child is shown to extend toNel andRafal, even if they are from a different world, intending to kill them despite the no-kill rules enforced by the Order of Heroes.^[35]

However, she is also portrayed more tragically. She fears that she will be considered a defect if she shows weakness^[79] and, despite knowing deep down that Sombron does not really care for her,^[80] continues to remain loyal to him. Though she pretends that her loyalty is due to her blood ties to him,^[81] it is really out of a desperate desire to be loved by her father and drive away feelings of loneliness and helplessness.^[82] She also acknowledges her lack of individual identity, having no existence or belongings outside of being "Veyle" except for the outfit Sombron gave her.^[83]

The Fell Xenologue world's version of Veyle was described vicariously by the late Mauvier to theFour Winds as quite strict, but very kind and noble,^[27] with her kindness noted as being similar to Veyle's true personality.^[84]

Gentle DragonFell SuccessorSpring Tranquility

Veyle: Gentle Dragon
This is Veyle—the youngest daughter of Sombron, the Fell Dragon who nearly destroyed the continent of Elyos.	Unlike her father, Veyle was gentle and wished only for peace. Her father hated these traits, so he ordered his underlings to bring out her destructive impulses and turn her into a vicious person.	The new Veyle served as Sombron's pawn, bringing chaos and destruction to Elyos. But eventually, with the help of those who truly cared for her, she overcame the violent personality that was forced upon her!	Having regained her true nature, Veyle opposed Sombron. And ever since then, people have told the tale of the gentle dragon who fought for peace in Elyos alongside her friends!

Veyle: Fell Successor
Wh-whoa! Is that threatening aura coming from Veyle?! She's nothing like the girl I introduced you to before!	It seems the Fell Dragon Sombron has a hand in this—he's drawn out another personality from within her, one with hidden draconic impulses!	Having been transformed into the Fell Dragon's loyal scion, Veyle maneuvers in secret to gather the Emblem Rings scattered throughout Elyos.	At the end of it all, do you think Veyle will find a way to reclaim her true, kind personality?

Veyle: Spring Tranquility
Veyle's the daughter of the Fell Dragon Sombron, and she comes from the continent of Elyos. This time, she's joining us for the spring festival dressed up in a delightful little costume!	This festival look features charming bunny ears that stand up straight. There are daisy decorations here and there, and a carrot-shaped charm dangling from her waist!	What's more, Veyle's also carrying an egg-like weapon that can fire off spells just like a tome!	Veyle says that just being able to join the festival is like a dream to her. And with this cute bunny costume, I don't think it's a dream she'll forget too soon!
