Someone reminded me that Loic exists and I felt so bad for ignoring him that long :’D
However, he’s back now with a revamped reference with new outfit, fates sprite and major changes of backstory! He’s a changed man (sort of)!
I want to add in that he has “good child” syndrome because of his parents, meaning he was raised up to not complain, not be angry, dishonest, rebellious etc. Although he does go against them once by running away since his only hope and dream of finding love was threatened (arranged marriage), but he lives in constant anxiety over it. Like he failed them and is worthless. He often considers coming back to them and asking for forgiveness.
More backstory under cut!
Loic's upbringing is mostly being trained to be a perfect heir to his family name. He gets constantly criticized by his own parents, that everything he's doing is "not good enough" and then pushed to work harder. Yet the other families would always compliment him for his skills and manners, also saying he's "truly the son of that family".
He was always under pressure of high expectations and never sure if he was good enough or not. The constant stress and low self-esteem suffocated him until he decided to block all of it and trick himself to always think he is the best. Still, Loic often seeks validation to confirm his greatness and he can't accept failures or mistakes. It breaks his delusion of himself as perfect and in most cases, he overworks himself until he "fixes" those mistakes.
This slowly changes when he runs away and joins Corrin's army. He's still clinging to his "perfect nobleman" persona despite disguising as Loic. When you have always been trained to solely be the perfect heir to your family name, you don't know who else you can be. Because of that, everyone knows he's a nobleman. Yet they don't really pay as much attention to him and have little to no expectations of him like the people in his social class before. He panics because of the lack of attention, his delusion of perfection starting to crumble and his sense of self in danger. His psychological defense mechanism stops to work and he's left vulnerable.
Eventually he will realize that what he is afraid of, is 'freedom'. He will slowly learn more about himself, accept his flaws and become the person he wishes to be. That's 'Loic'. The runaway noble, the hopeless romantic and your fellow solider. That guy who slowly learns to be irritated and angry, happy and sad like everyone else.

To give a (not short *sweats*) summary of his backstory, Loic Fleuret was taught to be ruthless, cold-hearted and unsympathetic by his parents ever since he was a little child. They wanted him to be the perfect heir of the Fleuret family and kept warning him about the fickle nobles he would constantly meet. Those nobles often sent him gifts or their children to befriend him, only to try to use him for their own benefits. Because of that, Loic had to close his heart to everyone, even to his own cruel parents.
When Loic grew older, he learned to cope with the toxic community of nobles by gaining the upper hand. He started to use all kind of methods to turn the table against his enemies. Blackmailing, tricking, lying and even wooing the women. It eventually became a common thing for him.
However, Loic knew he would never be happy by living like that. He decided to enlist to the army in hope of starting anew. Unfortunately, the Fleuret family is well known in Nohr and was therefore easily recognized. The higher ups decided to give him a high position out of obligation, despite his protests.
Loic is now living as a paladin while bearing his family name. He tries to be the person he wishes to be, but has problems of separating his ‘fake’ and ‘real’ selves. His bad habit of flirting shamelessly is still with him and that often disgusts himself. It’s also not easy to change when your name and family keep trying to drag you back to your hollow past.
Will Loic Fleuret ever find the peace he seek to be himself, or forever roam in his family’s dark shadow? That is for you to decided.
Fatesonas included:
Mai @happywonderfuldays and Lia @fatedchosenone
Loic knows that they are extremely kind and wonderful, and therefore avoids them as much as possible. Watching from the distance is enough~!
