“I'm not fit to fight for anyone.”
—Gerome in Paralogue 11
Gerome (ジェローム Jerōmu, Jerome in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Awakening. He is Cherche's son from the future. Gerome can potentially be the brother of Morgan. His birthday is September 1st. He is voiced by Orion Acaba in the English version.
Profile
Edit
In his paralogue a bandit, Morristan, entered the Valmese Wyvern Valley to round up Wyverns to sell. Gerome is approached by a local villager to help, but he refuses. However, Chrom's army arrives to help the villagers. Cherche enters the battlefield and the two eventually talk, though Gerome initially refuses to fight, Cherche manages to convince him to at least fight for this battle. After the battle Cherche talks to Gerome to introduce Minerva to his wyvern mount. As Cherche compares Minerva to his wyvern, she discovers that the two are identical, in fact, they are the same Wyvern. Gerome shows her his ring, her exact same ring. Gerome wishes that the two never encountered each other as he only came back in time to release Minerva back into the wild. When Cherche asks why, Gerome refuses to lose his parents a second time, but Cherche commends him for being so strong despite losing his parents. For the time being, Gerome joins Chrom's army.
After the war, Gerome settled in Wyvern Valley. People saw him as distant and contemplative.
In his parents' supports he initially refuses to interact with them. With Cherche, she asks him to train her to ride Minerva better. He also reveals that his parents in the future were out fighting to protect their country, but left him all alone, and by the time he was finally able to understand their actions or what they were doing, they were already dead. Gerome slowly warms up to his mother but still calls her by name. Though on some event tiles with her, he will call her Mother. In his support with his father, his tough facade slips to reveal tenderness, though mostly regarding Minerva, which his father uses to tease him a bit. In the final support he is finally fed up with his father's teasing and tells Minerva to eat him. However the wyvern refuses to eat his father since she accepts that he is her family. Gerome understands to stop being as hostile and calls him Father, though only for that one instance. In his support with Lucina it is revealed he lent her the mask that she used to hide her identity.
Personality
Edit
Gerome thinks meddling with the past is not a great idea and that destiny cannot be changed. His supports reveal that he is overly shy, and wears a mask and acts on his own to conceal it, though he passes this off as a method to prevent enemies from reading his thoughts. Along with his tendency to distance himself from others, he tends to get lonely. Gerome refuses to accept that the present versions of his parents are the same as his own. Gerome will always refer to them by their first names, though he will occasionally call them "Mother" and "Father" in their supports and during certain event tile quotes. Like Cherche, Gerome shares a close bond with Minerva, affectionately nicknaming her Minervykins, and has inherited the ability to understand what Minerva is feeling by her shrieks. He gets the worst sleep out of everyone in the army.
