Shamir is the archer, mirroring Bernadetta, Ashe, and Ignatz.Similar to those three, both of them also have an affinity to Brawl. Catherine and Alois act as the brawlers/warriors with excellent offensive capabilities but poor magic and defense, mirroring Caspar, Felix, and Raphael.Flayn acts as a healer, mirroring Linhardt, Mercedes, and Marianne.Unlike the house leaders though, Seteth is never a compulsory unit in any chapters of the game and his defeat will not result in a game over. In the Silver Snow route, Seteth accompanies you in rooting out the bandits out of Garreg Mach, mirroring Dimitri and Claude in their respective routes, as well as giving you quests that are normally given by the retainer characters in other routes. Seteth acts as both the leader and retainer, mirroring Edelgard/Dimitri/Claude and Hubert/Dedue/Hilda respectively.Geodesic Cast: Similar to how the three main houses are organized with a general similarity, the church characters in the Silver Snow route are also arranged accordingly, although there are a few outliers and role overlaps.The Immaculate One aka Rhea is divine, being a literal child of the Goddess, but she goes demonic on the Crimson Flower and Silver Snow routes, albeit for different reasons. Dragons Are Divine: Their symbol is a white dragon, The Immaculate One, and this dragon is generally purported to be an agent of the Goddess' will.Defector from Decadence: On the Crimson Flower route, several Church soldiers, including any Knights you recruited before the Time Skip defect from the Church and join the Empire out of horror of how far Rhea/Seiros has fallen into bloodthirsty insanity.The Rite of Rising even evokes the idea of the Second Coming of Jesus. The Chalice of Beginnings has similarities to the Holy Grail, being an artifact of the Goddess that can revive the dead so long as their soul can return to their body. The Immaculate One, said to be a herald of the Goddess, is a reference to the Virgin Mary, who is known for her immaculate conception.The Church also has commandments and one of them is specifically about respecting and obeying one's parents, and several characters remark that the Goddess once used to send wicked people to burn in a place equivalent to the Christian Hell. Said Deity is rarely referred by name, and it is a sin to say their name in vain. The religion is founded by the half-divine offspring of their deity.

Downplayed but present with the Central Church.It's also stated that the Western Church was bribed by Mercedes's adopted father to allow adoption in the first place, and that certain people in the Western Church and even Central Church dislike how Garreg Mach Monastery accepts people from Brigid and Duscur. The Western Church instigates a civil war and plots to usurp the Central Church under the belief they are the ones who properly worship the Goddess, suspicion and dislike of Rhea and Central Church, and manipulate others like Lonato to act as their pawns resulting in several deaths of innocent people.Color-Coded Characters: Each character wears a specific color in different classes:.They are usually tasked with suppressing bandits and providing military support to other territories. Church Militant: Effectively the role of the Knights of Seiros, the church's private militia.The Church: They are the greatest religious power of Fódlan.While Rhea's status as the Archbishop and the Church's credibility takes a hit, the faithful still keep believing the Seiros' faith (namely, the existence of the Goddess Sothis) is real to some extent. Broken Pedestal: Played with on the Crimson Flower route.The Alliance: When the Flame Emperor suddenly becomes a much bigger threat, the Knights of Seiros can ally with the Kingdom or Alliance, depending on choices made earlier in the game.
