--Aymr is also used for down-smash & d-air.
--Byleth's alt costumes are based on the heads of the eponymous 3 houses (Edelgard, Dimitri, & Claude), Sothis (who is some kinda amnesiac god symbiote toddler), & super mode at the end of the game.

I call the female one "Blythe" because (a) anagrams are fun, & (b) it's a real name.
But see? Was it really so hard to put a different weapon on an FE character?
I also dig that they're a teacher.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Everyone says 'Byleth' but no one ever stops to say 'Hileth'
