Aversa

**Aversa**, also known as **Inverse**, is a character from the *Fire Emblem* series.

## **Charactah Account**

Gangrel's subordinate and a cunning vixen who leverages her "assets" to lead men to their ruin. She is actually the servant of Validar, as Validar supposedly saved her life in the past. In the fifth SpotPass chapter, it is revealed that Validar saving her life is a lie. In reality, he murdered Aversa's parents and brainwashed her to be his servant. She joins Chrom's army afterwards if she survives and fights for atonement, ever since she discovered she had been used by Validar.

Aversa is a cruel, manipulative, and cold woman highlighted with her seductive traits. She is fiercely loyal to her superiors, though more so to Validar who supposedly took her in from the streets as an orphan. Due to Validar's brainwashing, she is willing to die for him, and continues serving Grima after his death.

However, after the brainwashing is undone, Aversa's personality changes back to her original one and she is horrified of what she has done and wishes to atone for her actions by destroying the Grimleal. She is wary of others in the army feeling that they may kill her out of spite due to her actions under Grimleal control. She strikes a bond with Robin, either forming a rivalry with Female Robin or teasing Male Robin.

## **Trivia**

* In the Japanese script it is not explained why Validar chose to brainwash her. The overseas localization, however, implies Aversa always had a talent for Dark Magic.
* Aversa's outfit as a Dark Flier, both in official art and in character model, is unique; no other character shares the design of her outfit. Her outfit appears to be shorter in-game compared to her official art.
* Her artwork shows her wielding a Dark Tome, likely Goetia.
* Aversa shares her English voice actress, Cindy Robinson, with Libra. In *Heroes*, Cindy Robinson also voices as Peri and Hinoka. In addition, she also voiced fellow dark-magic user Nuibaba in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.
	+ She also shares her Japanese voice actress, Kumi Tanaka, with Nowi, and Tana as she appears in *Heroes*.
* Early concept art of Aversa suggests that she was originally planned to be a Sorcerer.
* Aversa's birthday is the same day that *Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade* was first released in North America.
* An alternate version of her serves as the main antagonist of several DLC chapters in *Fire Emblem Awakening*. She was one of the reasons why some of the Einherjar were fighting Chrom and his army. Notably this Aversa had a relationship with Old Hubba although this was merely a feint in order to get access to the cards of the Einherjar.
* Aversa is shown wielding a sword in Chapter 9 while still in her Dark Flier attire. Though Dark Fliers cannot wield swords, one of Aversa's reclassing options, Dark Knight, can.
* Aversa is the only non-DLC character in the game that has a weapon named after her; Aversa's Night.
* In her B support with Female Robin, Aversa reveals that she is eight years older than Chrom. This would make her roughly 27 years old during her first appearance.
* If Aversa is reclassed into a class with an outfit that bares her arms or legs, she uses a generic model with light skin, rather than a dark-skinned model. She shares this characteristic with Flavia.
* A set of map sprites featuring Aversa in the Mage class line exists within the game data, although they are unused in the main game itself.
* Aversa is the second Spotpass Character in Awakening to be playable in Heroes.
* In Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Aversa is the only boss that is fought outside an idolsphere.
