Fire Emblem Resource Repository (Battle Animations, Portraits, Music, etc)

Hey guys, slight animation edit here. I was informed that Great Lord Hector doesn’t have a female variant and figured I should be the change I want to see in the world.

Sword

As much as I hate the association that female = ponytail, it is the most convenient shorthand for visual differentiation of gender. I hope women can find it in their hearts to forgive me someday. Anyway I have ponytail edits for Sword, Sword (Durandal), Lance, Axe, Handaxe, Magic, Magic (no staff), and Staff. I’m aware that the set is incomplete without an Armads anim, but it’s 99 frames long and I figured I’d have a better shot at finishing if I only did the shorter ones.

Lastly, these edits are not solely the strict addition of a ponytail. I removed the pure white pixel on Hector’s face for all weapons and in the process found a very funny vanilla oversight. For one frame in most of Hector’s animations, his cape uses his armor’s blues instead of his hair’s blues. This difference is imperceptible in vanilla but would be obvious to anyone who tried to make his hair and armor different colors, so I’m shocked no one noticed this before. Anyway I fixed it for my female edits but the oversight is still present in the vanilla set.


Until added to the repo, my edits can be found here: asm/Repals/FemaleHectorGreatLord at main · GigaExcalibur/asm · GitHub. The preview gifs in the class folder will display the incorrect set but each subfolder has the edited versions. That should be all, have a fantastic day!
