Forde and L'Arachel
I played the first Fire Emblem on GBA. And it's not hard to draw parallels between some of the characters from that game and SS. The two most obvious are Kyle resembling Kent and Sain resembling Forde. So I'm somewhat surprised that Forde doesn't have more supports with women since he seems to be a bit of a ladies man like Sain. So here's one I thought could work.
Support: C
FORDE: It seems we've been fighting together a lot recently.
L'ARACHEL: I must say you've been performing admirably in battle, though perhaps its my imagination but it seems as though there are times when you simply fall asleep in the field.
FORDE: Oh well surely you are aware of staves that have such an effect on people?
L'ARACHEL: Yes but I have not always seen the enemy wielding those weapons. If it was the case all I would have to do is use a staff of my own to restore you.
FORDE: Perhaps you should continue to ride beside me I may need to be restored at a moments notice. And who knows when I'll need healing.
L'ARACHEL: I suppose I can watch over you for a little while. But you sir knight must also protect me.
FORDE: You need not fear the enemies shall fall before my lance.
L'ARACHEL: What is your name Sir Knight?
FORDE: I am Forde knight of Renais
L'ARACHEL: I am L' Arachel lady of Rausten.
FORDE: Should that not be the radiant or glorious lady of Rausten?
L'ARACHEL:….. Well it seems finally someone has noticed my brilliance. I appreciate the compliment Sir Forde. It is ever so hard to be so beautiful and not have someone else notice. I have always thought it would take only the finest artists in all the country to truly capture my beauty.
FORDE: Oh are you in need of a painter?!
L'ARACHEL: A painter?! No sir I need not a base painter. I require a team of artists. You see I have always wanted a portrait to be done of me but alas, I cannot find an artist worthy of such the honor. None of the pictures they paint come close to capturing my perfect form.
FORDE: Well I could do it I am a pretty good painter.
L'ARACHEL: You?! A knight and a painter?! I must say that is a good combination. But your place is on the battlefield not behind a canvas. Thank you for the offer but I must decline. And with that I am off. (leaves screen)
FORDE:…. I'll make her change her mind. Plus she is beautiful. I better put the charm on. This isn't over.
Support: B
(Forde is sleeping alone on screen)
FORDE: Zzzzzzzzzzzz. Zzzzzzzzzzz.
L'ARACHEL: What is going on here?
FORDE: Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
L'ARACHEL: Oh dear he's asleep, it must have been an enemy staff that did this to him. I must restore him posthaste. Where is that staff? Ah here we are…..Restore!
FORDE: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
L'ARACHEL: What it didn't work? I must try again…..Restore!
FORDE: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
L'ARACHEL: Perhaps this is some new even more powerful staff that even I cannot fight. Oh no what if this new powerful staff has possessed him of a sleeping demon. If that is the case he may never wake up. I must expel the demon from him with a more forceful approach. Oh Saint Latona give me strength and wake this knight from his accursed sleep. (rushes forward towards Forde)
FORDE: Huh?! Yeow!
L'ARACHEL: Evil Spirit be gone! I L'Arachel command you to depart this vessel immediately.
FORDE: What are you doing?! Ow! Stop hitting me with that staff!
L'ARACHEL: Oh good you are awake.
FORDE: You were hitting me with a staff of course I'm awake. Why were you doing that why didn't you just—
L'ARACHEL: You were possessed of an unnatural sleep.
FORDE: I— what?!
L'ARACHEL: I happened upon you and found you asleep. I thought it must be the work of an enemy staff so I attempted to restore you but you didn't wake.
FORDE: Oh well that was because—
L'ARACHEL: So I thought you were possessed of a sleeping demon. They speak of them in Rausten. If it is not driven out of you then you will sleep forever. But rejoice for it seems I have freed you from its hold.
FORDE: Ah see actually what happened was—
L'ARACHEL: No you need lay endless thanks and blessings upon me I know that in your heart you will praise me to the end of your days for saving you.
FORDE: But listen there wasn't any—
L' ARACHEL: I shall have to ride closer to you from now on. You cavaliers are so vulnerable to magic attacks. If you are attacked and I am not around you may fall before the enemies magic. Come Forde let us rejoin the fray. (leaves screen)
FORDE: I guess this means no more sleeping on the job. I better stay a bit sharper if she's going to be around. Oh my head…..That's the last time I blame the enemy for putting me to sleep.
Support: A
L'ARACHEL: Hello Forde you seem well today.
FORDE: Yeah well I got a good night sleep last night.
L'ARACHEL: I am glad to hear it, I have noticed that you are fighting well.
FORDE: For you my lady I would face all the armies of all the nations.
L'ARACHEL: I am glad to hear it. I will make sure that you never fall before the enemy…..You know it really is a pity.
FORDE: What is?
L'ARACHEL: That you are only a knight. I think if you were a bit higher in status I might consider a marriage proposal from you.
FORDE:…Is my status all that prevents it?
L'ARACHEL: Oh I am afraid so. I am the princess of Rausten and you are a knight.
FORDE: But I'm not just any knight. And in fact there have been tales of knights marrying into higher status. Besides why should any of that really matter.
L'ARACHEL: Because we have rules as a society these rules must be followed to maintain the civil order.
FORDE: Yeah whatever. I hate rules, I prefer to follow only the rules I make. And if you say that status is the only issue then I would like to ask for your hand.
L'ARACHEL: My dear knight do not force me to embarrass you publicly. I cannot as much as I may want to I—
FODRE: I have something to show you L'Arachel.
L'ARACHEL: What?!
FORDE: Look at this. I started work on a portrait of you. It's not finished but I thought you should take a look at it.
L'ARACHEL: It is absurd to think that you could hope to capture my beauty on your own but let's have a look.
FORDE: Here it is.
L'ARACHEL: Oh!...
FORDE: I've only done the face so far it still has a lot of work left to do but tell me what you think.
L'ARACHEL:…It is a masterpiece
FORDE: Really?!
L'ARACHEL: I've had three other artists try and paint my likeness but none of them even came close to this I— I— I don't know what to say.
FORDE: What other husband could paint for you like this? And as a knight I assure you I am a gentleman.
L'ARACHEL:…
FORDE: Well what do you say?
L'ARACHEL:…..If my uncle allows it….then yes.
End of Game
Pontix Mancel gave Forde his blessing. L'Arachel traveled with Forde back to Renais where she helped Forde in the reconstruction. When Renais was fully restored Forde and L'Arachel were wed. They moved to Rausten to raise a family, and gave birth to a boy who shows talent with the brush.
