She once studied in the Empire.|[[Hanneman]], in [[The Impregnable Fortress (Azure Moon)|Azure Moon Chapter&nbsp;19]]|Three Houses}}</ref> (pronounced {{IPA|kɔɹˈniliə ˈɑɹnɪm}}; Japanese: {{hl|コルネリア＝アルニム|Koruneria Arunimu}} ''Cornelia Arnim'') is a non-playable character mentioned in {{FE16}} and {{FEWA2}}. She was an Imperial scholar from the [[Adrestian Empire]].


==Biography==
==Biography==
Cornelia Arnim was originally an Imperial scholar invited into the Kingdom by [[Lambert|King Lambert]], who was later appointed the high position of court mage of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus in recognition of her deeds in saving the people of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus from an epidemic. She is first mentioned by [[Sylvain]] during Part I.
Cornelia Arnim is a scholar from the [[Adrestian Empire]]. In Imperial Year 1165, she left the Empire to travel to the [[Holy Kingdom of Faerghus]], where she cured a plague that was devastating the Kingdom's populace,<ref>{{cite|Almost 20 years ago, a terrible plague blazed through Faerghus. It even hit the capital city, taking the queen consort's life...or so I heard. The whole Kingdom was in an uproar over that loss. The person who saved the Kingdom wasn't a doctor but a holy woman—the fair Lady Cornelia. After that, she was awarded the honor of being a mage in the service of the royal family.|[[Sylvain]] during monastery exploration in [[The Flame in the Darkness|Chapter&nbsp;8]]|Three Houses}}</ref> and later helped her friend [[Anselma]], ex-consort of Emperor [[Ionius IX]], seek asylum in the Kingdom, providing her shelter under the name of Patricia.<ref>{{cite|'''Dimitri:''' Anselma... Yes, of course. But how do you know that name? That is what my stepmother was called in the Empire. In the Kingdom, she was called Patricia. [...] How did you know my stepmother?<br>'''Hapi:''' She used to visit all the time. I think she was friends with the lady who kidnapped me. [...] I heard the lady helped bring her to the Kingdom, but I don't really know the details.|[[Dimitri]] and [[Hapi]] in their [[Dimitri/Supports#Hapi|B-Support]]|Three Houses}}</ref> For her medical deeds, King [[Lambert]] appointed the Adrestian scholar the position of Court Mage.


During Part II of the Azure Moon, Verdant Wind and Silver Snow routes, Cornelia frames [[Dimitri]] for the murder of his uncle [[Rufus]], the Kingdom's regent, and has him apparently executed. With him gone, Cornelia pledges her loyalty to the Empire and turns the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus into the Faerghus Dukedom.
In the routes where Cornelia eventually seems to appear in person, it is implied through her connections with [[those who slither in the dark]], as well by her sudden shift in personality before receiving her title of Court Mage,<ref>{{cite|People praised Cornelia as a saint for ending the epidemic. But there came a day when she completely changed. Her behavior, mannerisms, likes, dislikes...everything. Despite all that, Father still appointed her to a high post. After all, she had saved the Kingdom from ruin by that disease...|Dimitri during monastery exploration in [[The Golden Deer's Plea|Azure Moon Chapter&nbsp;19]]|Three Houses}}</ref> that Cornelia was disposed of and later replaced by [[Cleobulus]], a high ranking member of said group, intending to abuse Cornelia's new position in the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus.
 
On the Azure Moon route, the Dimitri and Kingdom Army eventually marches towards Fhirdiad, which causes the oppressed citizens in her rule to revolt against her tyranny. Unable to divert forces to suppress the rebellion in the face of Dimitri's army, Cornelia grumbles about how he and [[Edelgard]] should have just killed each other and deploys [[Titanus]] as well some [[Viksam|Viksams]] to face his forces. Once Cornelia is defeated and mortally wounded, Dimitri demands that she reveal the truth about the Tragedy of Duscur, as he suspects she may have been involved in it. Upon hearing Dimitri's request, Cornelia claims Dimitri's stepmother [[Patricia]] had a key role in the [[Tragedy of Duscur]] and confesses to helping her orchestrate the massacre in exchange for her aid in seeing her daughter again.
 
On the Verdant Wind and Silver Snow routes, NPC dialogue mentions Cornelia suddenly vanished from the Faerghus Dukedom right after [[Edelgard]]'s death, leaving her whereabouts after the war unknown.
 
On the Crimson Flower route, Cornelia, [[Rodrigue]], and non-recruited [[Felix]] and [[Ingrid]] guard Fort Arianrhod when they get the news [[Edelgard]] and the [[Adrestia|Adrestian Army]] are about to besiege them. Cornelia is at first shocked upon hearing this, as she had not been given any prior intel of the Empire's sudden change of plans, but later calmly accepts this situation and chooses to prepare for the upcoming fight by unleashing her [[Titanus]] on the invading army, secretly hoping some of the Kingdom forces would end up killed by them in the ensuing chaos. When she is finally defeated, Cornelia takes her death with grace and simply laughs as she murmurs to herself everything had gone exactly as planned, calling it a "delightful dance". After her demise, [[Lord Arundel]] reveals that she was planning to defect to the Empire, but Edelgard ruined it by prematurely killing her.
 
It is mentioned Cornelia had a sudden shift in personality sometime after being granted her new position in the Kingdom, and considering her connections to "[[those who slither in the dark]]" and her access to their resources is consistent with other characters killed and replaced by Agarthan infiltrators, this suggests she was murdered sometime after solving the Kingdom's epidemic and before the Tragedy of Duscur, and the woman the player has known as Cornelia is actually a high-ranking Agarthan impersonating her.

==Personality and character==
While presenting a front of an affable servant of the Kingdom, Cornelia is in reality a cruel woman who is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure her dominance of the Kingdom should the situation present itself, and views the Dukedom forces as nothing but pawns and has no care for the people living in it. In contrast, it is mentioned by multiple NPCs as well by [[Dimitri]] she used to be more kind in the past, and that she even had different likes and dislikes compared to the woman seen in the story.

Appearance(s)

Cornelia Arnim[2] (pronounced /⁠kɔɹˈniliə ˈɑɹnɪm⁠/[key]; Japanese: コルネリア＝アルニム Cornelia Arnim) is a non-playable character mentioned in Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. She was an Imperial scholar from the Adrestian Empire.

Biography

Cornelia Arnim is a scholar from the Adrestian Empire. In Imperial Year 1165, she left the Empire to travel to the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, where she cured a plague that was devastating the Kingdom's populace,[3] and later helped her friend Anselma, ex-consort of Emperor Ionius IX, seek asylum in the Kingdom, providing her shelter under the name of Patricia.[4] For her medical deeds, King Lambert appointed the Adrestian scholar the position of Court Mage.

In the routes where Cornelia eventually seems to appear in person, it is implied through her connections with those who slither in the dark, as well by her sudden shift in personality before receiving her title of Court Mage,[5] that Cornelia was disposed of and later replaced by Cleobulus, a high ranking member of said group, intending to abuse Cornelia's new position in the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus.
