7. THARJA
Next in the top 10 Fire Emblem characters of all time we have Tharja, a shady dark mage and one of the most powerful ones in the series. She can be recruited by Chrom in Fire Emblem Awakening and appears in Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE as Kiria Kurono’s avatar, which definitely contributed to her popularity. If she joins you in Awakening, she will inevitably fall in love with Robin.
She has a grim personality and threatens to curse others around her if they stand between her and Robin. However, she is capable of loving other people, like her daughter Noire. Their relationship is complex, one of the most interesting ones in Awakening. She was also the target of censorship in the European version of the game, making her a controversial character in many ways.
