==Appearance==

==Bio==
Born on 3/3. Azura is a Vallite princess who was forced to run from Valla with her mother, Arete, after Anankos' insane self started rampage over the kingdom. Later, Azura became a princess of Nohr after Arete married Nohr's king, Garon.
Azura and Arete were horribly mistreated by Garon's harem, because they hated that Arete was replacing the previous queen, Katerina. They even forbade Xander, Camilla, and Leo from ever getting close with Azura. One day, Arete died after openly telling Azura about Valla, knowing the curse would kill her, but wanted Azura to know about the kingdom. Azura was then left all alone, still forced to separate herself away from her Nohrian step-siblings. 
One day, Azura was kidnapped by Shura and his gang in exchange for Corrin. However, Garon did not desire to give Corrin back to Hoshido, so Azura was raised by Queen Mikoto in Hoshido. Secretive and hides her emotions, but kind and wise. Her songs help her allies on the battlefield. A restless sleeper.

==Trivia==
*Despite Azura being considered the deuteragonist, the development team actually considers her to be the main protagonist just as much as they do Corrin. In the West, conversely, Corrin is instead mainly considered to be the protagonist due to them being meant to be the visual reflection of the player, resulting in the level of control and customization for them to be much higher.
*Azura draws many parallels to Lady Nimue in Arthurian legends. Both are considered key women in their respective stories, are responsible for giving the protagonists key weapons (a Dragonstone and Excalibur respectively), and both have the epitaph of "Lady of the Lake."
*In the Heirs of Fate DLC, her portrait is altered to where she is not wearing her pendant, while Shigure's is also changed to where he instead is wearing it.
