The Nintendo 3DS Facebook page has been updated with three more character profiles from the highly anticipated upcoming strategy RPG Fire Emblem: Awakening. Today we're introduced to Miriel, Stahl and Vaike, all of whom belong to Chrom's valiant group of protectors the Shepherds. Miriel is a witty researcher who enjoys her studies and doesn't have much tolerance for careless individuals.

Vaike (the one wielding the ax) fancies himself Chrom's rival and is mouthy, although is bark is apparently more serious than his bite. Finally, Stahl is big-hearted and righteous and he cares a lot about others. That's adorable. Check out art for each of these characters below. They all look awesome but Miriel looks too cool with her spectacles and quill.

Fire Emblem: Awakening will be available in North America on February 4th. A demo for the game will hit the eShop on January 17th.
