Candace is a capturable boss character from Fire Emblem Fates. She is a self-proclaimed legendary treasure hunter hailing from Nohr who has dedicated her entire life to exploration.

Profile[]

While exploring the world in pursuit of treasured relics, Candace travels with a group of "barbarians" who appear to tolerate her; although not formally a part of the group, Candace claims that the barbarians are perfect for distracting foes while she flees.

Candace formally appears in Paralogue 6, where she bids a member of the bandit group that she is traveling with to steal a bag of Dragon Herbs from Midori. When confronted on her theft, Candace launches in a twisted defense of her action, justifying it as being no different from Midori "stealing" the herbs from the forest. A battle thereafter ensues with Candace attempting to flee with Corrin's army hot on her heels. The army eventually corners her and either strikes her down or captures her, recovering the stolen herbs.

Candace also makes an appearance in the DLC episode Museum Melee as a visitor from another world.

Personality[]

Owing to the minor role that she plays in the game, not much is known of Candace's personality. From her involvement in the paralogue that she appears in, however, some aspects of her character may be gleaned. For one, she is portrayed as arrogant and narcissistic, shamelessly indulging in self-praise when she unveils her identity before Midori.

Candace has also been depicted as deceitful, tricking and confusing others through her clever twisting of words in order to justify the dishonorable actions that she partakes in. This fact is best evidenced through her confrontation with Midori, during which she deliberately uses periphrastic language to confuse Midori and justify her ownership of a bag of Dragon Herbs that she stole from the young girl.

Overall[]

Secret Book (Artwork)
Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Thanks to her high base HP and reasonable Luck and Defense, Candace is slightly more resistant to physical attacks than the average Adventurer, though this asset is not particularly useful to her. She tends to end up with decent Magic, a fact that when combined with her strong base Bow rank, allows her to inflict passable damage with the Shining Bow.

Candace is weak in the Speed and Resistance departments for her class, rendering her susceptible to double attacks and magic-based onslaughts.

The much more glaring issue with Candace is that she is the only playable unit that cannot reclass due to her model. As she is considered a Birthright boss, she has no unique skills of her own. Fortunately, she is able to learn her Outlaw and Adventurer class skills, though she cannot utilize the Bow Knight's Shurikenbreaker due to her inability to reclass.

As with all other capturable units, Candace is still able to utilize DLC tomes. While she cannot reclass because of her unique model, she is able to learn skills like Aether and Warp as long as the player acquires those tomes from their respective DLCs.

Trivia[]

  • Candace shares her English voice actress, Amber Hood, with Nyx and Soleil.
  • Due to her unique character model, Candace is the only capturable unit that cannot use any reclassing items. However, if she is forcibly reclassed via hacking, she keeps her unique Adventurer model regardless. Due to this, it is not recommended to reclass her into a cavalry-type or flying-type unit due to the risk of glitches.
  • Candace is unable to wear body accessories. This is mostly likely due to her unique body type.
  • Curiously, Candace and Nichol both have critical cut-in portraits. In addition, their names are listed among characters who can only support Corrin.
    • This may imply the two capturable units originally had a larger role during the development of Fates, before they were reduced to optional Paralogue bosses.
    • Along with Nichol, Candace was the only capturable boss eligible for votes in the Fire Emblem Heroes Choose Your Legend until its fifth installment in 2021.
