AKA: What if the golden apple was thrown into a Heroes summoning portal?

Fire Emblem has had a long and interesting history, and so it is time we honor the ladies that helped shape the franchise into what it is today! Public opinion is always quick to swift and turn when it comes to the gals, so when I tried to on my own judge who among the cast were the most popular fan favorites, I struggled to pin down any one answer. So we're going to decide who is the fairest among the war criminals with the totally accurate and scientifically sound experiment of a good old fashioned tournament bracket!

When it came to deciding who to pool for this contest and how to seed it, I looked at three main characteristics

Lord or Main Character Status

Impact on the Plot

Popularity with the Wider Fanbase

Rather than pick all my faves who are totally the best, I wanted to choose characters who served as the "face" of their respective games/worlds and give each entry a reasonably balanced amount of representation without having to default to friendly fire right off the bat. I also have not played every game and so often had to rely on fan discussions, Heroes rep, and whose art fills the tag to determine that flagship status. As a result I had to leave out some absolutely iconic gals and create brutal round 1's that absolutely break my heart. So if you are sad about some of these matchups, me too girl, know I tried my best to seed this in a way that would create an exciting contest

Voting criteria is based around popularity. If you want to take into account how important, well-written, or historical a character is, that is all well and good. But if you just want to vote for the hottest lady, that is your prerogative. At the end of the day, we can only measure who tumblr's favorite blorbo is, not who "deserves" to win, so follow your bliss.

Round 1 starts May 12, 2023 12:00PM EST, each match gets its own post, that will be tagged #FELLpolls

In addition I will create round specific posts under the same hashtag linking to each match. Each match will run for exactly 24 hours, with the next round starting another 24 hours later

Please keep it civil, it is ok to get competitive and root for your faves but any violent or self-harm threats directed at other fans, myself, or the speaker in question will result in a block. I don't care if it is clear exaggeration or said jokingly, I'm the person having to read all y'all's comments and I do not need that in my life
