*--* Wilhelmina to Tsumugi in their C Support.

**Wilhelmina**(ヴィルヘルミーネ *Uiruherumīne*) is a playable unit in *Fire Emblem: Fates*, and an ally on all routes. She is voiced by Aoi Koga in the Japanese version and Courtnee Draper in the English version.

## Profile

Wilhelmina is a maid who served as librarian at the Nohrian royal archives. Though Wilhelmina was born to a prosperous family of Nestrian merchants, her desire to be independent led her to pursue an academic career, eventually leading to her role in Nohr.

Wilhelmina chooses to follow Corrin in every route after hearing stories of Corrin's kindness and just nature, electing to come to their aid in Chapter 14 of *Conquest* and Chapter 17 of *Revelation*. She can be persuaded to join their cause in Chapter 16 of *Birthright*.

### Past

She notes she does not remember much of her childhood but she supposedly was "a firecracker of a kid" according to her parents. Wilhelmina mentions her love of the arts started at a young age as well. Her academic performance is also noted to have outshined that of her siblings. Wilhelmina states things were not as idyllic as they seemed.

Despite her passion for creative pursuits, she felt she lacked the determination necessary to make a living off of them. She turned her attention to her studies and with hard work she was able to secure a position in the Nohrian royal archive.

### Present

Personal problems aside, Wilhelmina seeks to be a comforting presence in Corrin's army. She often tries to look out for younger members of the army and often offers her assistance when she thinks it could be wanted.

She is unused to physical battles and is unknowingly reckless as a result of panicking. Even so, Wilhelmina's experience reading the Nohrian royal archive's primers on strategy coupled with the Hoshidan war manuals she collected in her youth make her a decent strategist.

Wilhelmina is shown to have a great interest in both Hoshidan and Nohrian culture. She enjoys food, illustrations, poems, and fashions from both nations. Her academic research studied their different social customs and past engagements. It pains her to see the havoc the conflict between the two countries has wrought upon Nestra and the rest of the world.

## Personality

Wilhelmina is a young woman who values independence and adventure. She is relatively open-minded, mentioning that she prefers to “try everything at least once", though she has been shown to get lost in thought or daydream rather often. Wilhelmina has high empathy for others, leading her to project motherly wisdom. Unfortunately, this causes Wilhelmina to have difficulty setting emotional boundaries and be overly anxious about how her actions affect others. Because she has trouble meditating between her heart and her head, this can lead her to suffer from emotional conflict. Oftentimes her instincts and worries tend to lead her to assume the worst and make extreme decisions.

Despite her high empathy, she had trouble reading the intentions of others, which makes her concerned about how well she's liked and maintain a good reputation. She can be stubborn and resentful at times. Her strong empathy can lead to a desire to withdraw after seeing others experience great distress. Wilhelmina is also sensitive to her own feelings, though she finds this part of herself shameful. Even so, she is organized and ambitious, but while she has many goals, her perfectionism often prevents her from achieving them. She is skilled at appealing to the emotions of others, something she uses to provide comfort to others or maintain a strong public image. Wilhelmina finds purpose through creativity and providing and receiving emotional comfort.
