Byleth

## On-Screen Appearance

Warps onto the stage using warp magic, poses while holding a pointer, then pulls out the Sword of the Creator.

## Taunts

**Up Taunt:** Swings the Sword of the Creator to his right leg, and puts his left fist to his chest while looking into the sky. Female Byleth has an alternate stance: one foot is in front of the other and the Sword of the Creator is held behind herself in a reverse grip. Based on Byleth's victory pose with a sword equipped.

**Side Taunt:** Brandishes the Sword of the Creator forward and says either "Let the lesson begin!" or "Stay focused." The former quote is one of Byleth's critical hit quotes prior to the five-year time skip, while the latter is from when Byleth is selected on the battlefield prior to the time skip.

**Down Taunt:** Swings the Sword of the Creator in its whip form around himself while saying "Try me."

## Idle Poses

* Twirls the Sword of the Creator into a backhanded grip while striking a pose, before returning to his original position. Female Byleth has an alternate pose: the Sword of the Creator is held in a standard grip with a more energetic pose. Based on the animation when Byleth is selected on the map before moving and when performing a gambit. Both idle poses resemble the ones they assume in their *Ultimate* renders.

## Victory Poses

*Note: Like Pokémon Trainer and Inkling, some of Byleth's victory animations are different between the male and female variants.*

### Both

* Plants the Sword of the Creator into the ground along with the other Heroes' Relics already planted into the floor, says "Each battle, a chance to grow" and then swings their left arm out while facing the background before lowering their left arm to their side. Combines one of Byleth's lines after winning a battle exchange pre-time skip with the game over screen in *Fire Emblem: Three Houses*, where all four main Relics are planted on the ground.

### Male

* Swings the Sword of the Creator outward, saying "Allow me to demonstrate!" He then raises his left hand towards his chest as he looks outward. Based on Byleth's victory pose when wielding a sword, combined with one of his critical hit quotes prior to the time skip. It is also similar to his up taunt.
* With the Sword of the Creator in its whip form, Byleth swings it around the front of his body in a circular motion, saying "No hesitation!" After striking the ground, the Sword of the Creator reverts to its original form, with Byleth posing with it held in a standard grip. Uses the quote from one of his critical hit activations.
	+ When this victory pose plays, the clapping animations are delayed for a second before showing up, most likely due to the number of graphics onscreen from the Sword of the Creator hitting the ground.

### Female

* Swings the Sword of the Creator outward before holding the sword behind her in a reverse grip, saying "Allow me to demonstrate!" She then looks toward the screen as opposed to looking into the distance. It is also similar to her up taunt.
* With the Sword of the Creator in its whip form, she swings the whip in front of herself twice (each time in a different direction) while saying "No hesitation!" She then holds it up towards her face in a vertical manner.
