Birthday
In the Fire Emblem series, some characters have a known birthday; in some games this has gameplay benefits and the date of the birthday itself may be referencing an event or Fire Emblem series game release date. This page provides a summary of known birthdays within the franchise.
In the vast majority of Fire Emblem games character birthdays are generally unknown, though some important characters will have a birth year that can be figured out from official timelines or other media. The games' entire cast having fully defined birthdays in their profiles is a fairly recent development within the series. Currently only three main series games and one spin-off have defined birthdays for its playable cast.
Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
In Elibe a character's birth month is thought to determine some personality traits, similar to the concept of astrology.[1]
The player chooses the birth month of the Tactician in Fire Emblem. Their birth month determines their affinity. In the Japanese release, the Tactician's affinity is determined by their birth month in combination with their blood type. This affinity determines the Tactician's bonus.
International versions Japanese version
Fire Emblem Awakening
Characters' birthdays are listed as the last line of their bio on the roster, which can be accessed by visiting the barracks. Some of the characters' birthdays represent special dates.
If the system's clock matches one of the character's birthdays, the barracks will generate a special event, marked in red, that announces the character's birthday. If the barracks is visited on their birthday, that character gets a burst of experience, finds a random item, and gains a boost in two random stats.
The player chooses Robin's birthday when starting a new game. When the player enters the barracks on this day, the random character on the 3DS's lower screen will have a special message, wishing Robin a happy birthday with an amused expression. Characters who are children of or married to the tactician will also have unique lines. On the bottom screen, Robin's spouse will no longer appear more often than other characters, as opposed to normal days. Should Robin share their birthday with another character, the bottom screen will show both characters at the same time, and two red events will be generated, with Robin's taking place first.
Exactly four characters celebrate their birthday each month. Old Hubba bumps the number of birthdays in Feburary to five; however his birthday is only mentioned in his unused roster description and has no effect on gameplay.

Fire Emblem Fates
Characters' birthdays are listed as the last line of their bio on the roster, which can be accessed by visiting the library in the Records Hall. Some of the characters' birthdays represent special dates. The player chooses Corrin's birthday when starting a new game.
If the system's clock matches one of the character's birthdays, a birthday cake icon appears above their head in My Castle. If Corrin talks to them, that character gets a burst of weapon experience, finds a random item, and gains a surge in Speed and Luck. After that, they will ask for an accessory and thank the player for remembering their birthday if they agree to give one, regardless of whether or not the gift is a favored accessory.
When the player enters My Castle on Corrin's birthday, characters around the castle will all wish them a happy birthday if spoken to. Characters who are married to Corrin will also have unique lines and will give them flowers in their Private Quarters. Lilith will also wish them a happy birthday should Corrin enter her temple.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Byleth's birthday (and by extension Sothis's birthday) is chosen by the player at the beginning of the game.
On a character's birthday, the player has the choice to send flowers (which costs a small amount of gold), have a tea party with the character (if unlocked), or do nothing at all. On the first instance of Byleth's birthday, the player receives a letter from the chosen house's leader (Edelgard, Dimitri, or Claude) which contains an item (the Black Eagle Pendant, Blue Lion Brooch, or Golden Deer Bracelet, respectively). In the Black Eagles route, if the player's birthday falls after siding against Edelgard in Chapter 11 or before choosing a house to lead, the player will get a White Dragon Scarf instead from Rhea. Byleth will get a second letter from a different person on the second birthday that occurs, with no item. Unless the item has been received due to Byleth’s birthday not occurring in Part 1 depending on the chosen birth date. Whom this letter is from also depends on route.
