Linhardt von Hevring

Linhardt is the eldest son and heir of House Hevring, a line of counts. He has been good friends with Caspar since he was 6 years old. Linhardt enrolls in the Garreg Mach Monastery Officers Academy in Imperial Year 1180 and joins the Black Eagles.

Hating constraints and loving his freedom, Linhardt does his best to avoid worries and problems, often idling about lazily in non-essential activities such as fishing, sleeping or idle conversations. Although extremely intelligent, his laziness means that he refuses to use his knowledge for practical purposes unless it benefits him. Despite this, he does genuinely care for others and considers himself to be the worker when everyone else is asleep. Despite being the heir to House Hevring, Linhardt has little care for his own House. His laziness makes him considerably different from other nobles who believe they must exert themselves, as he states in a support conversation with Dorothea that pride means nothing to him, as it doesn't feed, clothe or shelter him. He generally cares little for gossip relating to him, although he does admit that he can't keep running away from them forever. In fact, in a majority of his endings, he abandons his claim to House Hevring to live a life of his own. He has a genuine interest in Crests, and when immersed in his research, he can forget to even eat or sleep. That, accompanied by his unparalleled intellect, makes him one of the smartest students in his class. However, he often flutters from interests and is only able to focus on whatever fancies him in the moment. Additionally, his extreme disinterest in anything off-topic will cause him to become drowsy and/or fall asleep. Due to his Crest research, he's particularly intelligent and can realize that things are not as they seem compared to others. If he is brought into battle against Indech, he deduces that he is hiding his actual form, but is told to feign ignorance. In his supports with Flayn, he also figures out that she is not who she makes out to be, due to her major Crest and the fact that Cethleann famously never had any children, though she barely manages to quell his suspicions. He suffers from hemophobia, or fear of blood - upon scoring his first kill, he will be shocked at taking a life away.

Male

November 7th (called 7th of the Red Wolf Moon in Fódlan) Imperial Year 1163

177 cm (about 5'10")

His long, dark green hair is tied in a low ponytail with a white ribbon. He seems to have forgotten who and when he received his ribbon. His skin is white and pale, and he is said to be "often envied by girls.''
Coupled with his long hair, white skin, and soft voice, he gives the impression of being androgynous, but the only person in the Black Eagles class who is taller than him is 188cm tall, only Hubert
