Alear has been asleep for 1,000 years following the defeat of the fell dragon but must now cooperate with their allies to prevent the fell dragon\u2019s resurrection. Past characters from the <em>Fire Emblem<\/em> series can also be summoned to fight alongside Alear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being a divine dragon, Alear takes on a human appearance, and while the Alear shown in the trailer is a young man, the game\u2019s key visual also shows that there is a female version of the character. Alear\u2019s design is characterized by their elegant facial features and sophisticated clothing, but one aspect that stands out above all else is the color scheme.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220914-218938-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220914-218938-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220914-218938-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220914-218938-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220914-218938-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220914-218938-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220914-218938-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220914-218938-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220914-218938-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220914-218938-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Alear sports a vibrant mixture of red and blue, not only on their outfit, but even their hair and eyes.
