Celica: Warrior Priestess

Good morning y'all.

Today I want to talk to you about Celica. She is a character from the Fire Emblem Series, that appears in Fire Emblem Gaiden, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, and Fire Emblem Heroes (with a small Fire Emblem Awakening DLC treat for us fans.)

On this Tuesday (August 21, 2018), We were regaled with a New Banner for Fire Emblem Heroes, with 4 of the most favorited characters from the franchise. There's already been an event like this, and the Heroes chosen were: Lyn, Ike, Roy, and Lucina. This time we've got Hector, Ephraim, Veronica, and Celica, which is the one well talk about today.

The art is made from the Artist that did all the designs in Fire Emblem Echoes, Hidari. I love this artist's style. He achieves a classic look while also making each character look modern. Ha makes good poses demonstrating each individuals personality and is also good with his color palette.

He achieved something else with Celica's design with the Brave Version of the character. He used the original outfit utilized in the first game she appeared in, Fire Emblem Gaiden, waaayyy back in 1992, for Japanese audiences only. Below Is a comparison of then and now.

I love when an artist can pull an old 90's style and succeed. Even though I prefer the last design,(pictured below) But I respect Hidari for his talent.

Celica, Warrior Priestess of Mila

Till next time. See ya.
