Luther

"Sir look, if you're looking for a fight I'll give you one. But don't expect things to go well for you." -Luther's first quote when fighting in her Prologue, Foreign Visitor. Luther is a playable character in Fire Emblem Conquest and Revelations.
== Profile ==
Luther is a traveling merchant with a bit of an attitude. She joins Corrin and their army after they rescue her in her prologue. During the events of Conquest and Revelations, she takes the offer to become a retainer to Leo. 
=== Past ===
Luther was the youngest born of four in a small village in Ylisse. She grew up facing many trials, such as living with an abusive father who had chosen alcohol over her, older siblings who had turned to questionable lives, and later raising a child that wasn't her own. This way of life wore away on her where her only refuge was her growing interest in art. Even then these trials left her bitter, cold, and unsympathetic towards others. 
At the age of twenty, she joined a merchant's caravan where she took her niece and left without a word to her family. She learned trade that way, along with refining her writing and arts which she soon turned into a small profit. This is where she found Chrom and his army, but Luther knew she couldn't take a child into a war. Trusting the bonds of those in the caravan, she, in tears, left her niece with them and joined the war cause. 
After the war, too ashamed to return to her niece and the caravan, she followed the path of Owain and came to the world of Fates taking upon a new life, hiding the one she was shameful of. However she hoped to not follow the same path as them. She left her old name, Alex, and took upon the name Luther in hopes that she really could become a new person. Here she made a living as a merchant along the border of Hoshido and Nohr. Due to the news of war, she left the border and continued her work in the cities of Nohr. Here she met the royal family and her future liege, Leo. 
Luther meets Corrin's army through an incident during one of her trading trips. She is working in a small village when they are attacked by a group of bandits. She, a bit relunctingly, decides to protect the village against the entire bandit crew. When Corrin and her group arrives, Luther is in fairly poor shape but refuses to cave in so easily. Corrin and their army has to reach Luther and the villagers behind her on the map before they are taken out. She will only accept to join Corrin's army of a member of the royal families or Sorki speak to her. 
=== Present ===
Luther tends to work alone for most of her work. She sticks to being by herself during her free time and hates crowds, so she is normally the first or last person to come receive her meals. When she does have to work with someone else, she prefers to take the lead in things she is confident in and will try to take most of the work onto herself. When asked to speak about herself, she avoids the questions as best as she can and will try to turn the topic towards the one asking. 
Due to her connections with the border, she was able to become a supplier for goods that were hard to come by. These connections eventually led her to become a supplier for nobles and eventually the royal family. Due to her work, willingness (though not without complaining) to work with anyone, and ability in a wide range of combat, she eventually gained a spot as Leo's retainer. 
She is a fast worker and is normally one of the first people done with her chores, though is very likely to miss details. She loves her free time so she tries to get as much as possibly. She is hard to find during her freetime so unless it's an emergency, don't expect her to be around to help with any issues. 
It takes her quite some time to open up to others and to show her more relaxed side. While she is skilled with magic, bows, and lances, don't expect to see her training very often with them. She spends most time studying and creating art pieces. She gives very little thought to her role of a solider, considering herself more of creator than a fighter. When asked about why she doesn't train her response was, "War of man is temporarily. War of the mind lasts forever."
== Personality ==
 "Luther is really cool, sugoii" - Wise words from a Flo 
Luther is a very bitter person. She gets annoyed easily and has a tendency to insult others. She is very sarcastic and carries an air of superiority over others. She has a very negative view on life and often questions it without realizing many others don't share her views. However, this is mostly a mask. She attempts to act stronger than she really is. She hates to show weakness and she often associates emotions with weakness. 
She is a very oblivious person, often daydreaming and zoning out any chance that she gets. Along with this she has questionable memory; forgetting things such as her own middle name or what she is saying while saying it yet she is able to remember small details about people that she was told months ago. Once she warms up to someone, they see her relaxed and uncaring side which is both disappointing yet honourable in a weird way. She doesn't care about important stuff but that uncaring also makes her willing to do things others aren't willing to do. She cracks jokes and puns often, sometimes ending with her laughing so hard she ends up crying. She has a very dry sense of humour and her jokes are mostly self-depreciating. 
Underneath all of that is her most questionable side. She pretty much has two sets of morals: the ones that she taught herself which are 'socially moral' and the ones she grew up with, which abide by no laws. She deals heavily with depression and anxiety, causing her mind to be at a constant battle with each other. She tends to have days where she'll do nothing but think, causing her to have more 'philosophical' thoughts as she calls them. She tends to bury these thoughts away though since she hates being left alone in her own mind. This is what causes her to go into depressive states. This explains why she enjoys talking to others, but likes to listen rather than talk. 
She finds it hard to feel sympathy for other people, as well as fake interest and happiness. Other than that she is very manipulative and a good actor. She normally doesn't use this to get blackmail and such though. She tends to use this to get others to open up to her since she has a deep interest in how people work. Once she understands a person well enough, she is often capable to predict how that person feels about a certain situation and sometimes even what they may be thinking.
