Merrin Rides a Wolf in Fire Emblem Engage

A new character trailer for Fire Emblem Engage introduces Merrin, a Royal Knight from Solm, Merrin. She’s voiced by Nanako Mori, who also plays Figue in Soul Hackers 2, Lyla Viscraft in Triangle Strategy, and Akira in Kirakira Precure A La Mode.

As a Royal Knight of Solm, Merrin is a retainer to the Crown Princess Timerra. In Fire Emblem Engage, Merrin is described as having an “elegant” streak, and she always strives for “stylishness” in her daily life.

In a clip of her interactions with Timerra, Merrin describes their first meeting.

Merrin reflects on how she came to be a knight to Timerra. She says that she ran away from home because she refused to become the next chief of her village. Instead, she wished to become a knight. Timerra remarks that she must have been quite the tomboy, but Merrin responds that she wasn’t always this way, until she one day met a “true” tomboy riding a wolf one day. Timerra acknowledges that Merrin is referring to her.

True to her liege, Merrin begins Fire Emblem Engage as a Wolf Knight, a mounted class new to the series. Wolf Knights have high mobility and can dash around the battlefield using daggers to break up enemy formations.
