Brady is a character from the Fire Emblem Awakening game.

Maribelle's son from the future. He appears menacing and strong, but lacks any fighting talent and has poor reflexes to boot. The scar on his face was caused by a violin string. He's a crybaby who cries over the smallest things. Often mistaken for a bandit by his comrades.

Appearance
Brady has messy blonde hair which is spiked up like a mini-mohawk and has light-brown eyes with a scar on the left eye. He wears a black high-collared shoulder cape with violet linings over a black robe, black gloves and black boots.

Personality
Contrary to his noble heritage, Brady is mistaken as a knavish thug, mainly due to his menacing leer and boorish speech patterns. He can be rude initially when speaking, coming off as aggressive and hostile. However, these are all misinterpretations of who Brady truly is.

Deep down, Brady is extremely sensitive, vulnerable, and emotional. His tough mannerisms are a means to mask them, but will easily discard them in situations. This fact may be gleaned from his supports with his father, where he dismissively establishes an exterior of emotionless apathy towards the notion of being forgotten the moment the Brady of the current timeline is conceived. Upon being informed that he will neither be forgotten nor allowed to disappear from his father's life, this shell of stoic steeliness shatters, causing him to, as is his usual custom, cry as he retracts his words.

He has a strong dislike for his mother's insistence on his noble etiquette training, but nonetheless endures it out of love for her. This does, however, lead to him being unskilled in most of the noble pursuits save the violin. He misuses more eloquent words on occasion, such as the word sentimental in his support with Owain. He is somewhat capable of talking in a noble fashion, but he often is frustrated and will give up as it feels too unnatural to him.

Abilities
Brady starts out as a Priest, which works nicely considering his good Magic and Luck inheritence from his mother. Being level 10, he will already have Miracle and Healtouch; the former could potentially save his life in a pinch, while the latter helps him restore more HP with a Staff. However, As he levels up and reclasses, both skills should be swapped out for more useful ones as Miracle is highly situational while his high Magic growth means Healtouch will be unnecessary later.

Priest promotes to either Sage or War Monk, both of which give Brady some useful skills. Sage offers Rally Magic which can help in a support role and Tomefaire which makes him stronger when using Tomes. Brady makes an excellent Sage due to his good Magic and Luck growths. War Monk offers Rally Luck and Renewal; Rally Luck can also help Brady in a support role, although Rally Magic is typically more useful, while Renewal greatly improves Brady's endurance. His negative Strength inheritence means he will struggle to do damage in this class unless he has a father which boosts Strength. However, he can get around this with Bolt Axes eventually.
