Protagonist Name is Customizable

Fire Emblem Engage Name Customization

At the beginning of the game, you're free to name the main character as you wish. After inputting the name at the start of the game, you cannot change the protagonist's name at any point later in the story.

Selecting a name, birthday, and gender for the protagonist are considered points of no return, as they can't be changed later on.

Aside from the Default Alear name, what did you name your main character?

Canon Name is Alear

Fire Emblem Engage Alear

The canon name of Fire Emblem Engage's protagonist is Alear. They're a successor to the family of Divine Dragons, who is reawoken after 1,000 years to defeat a reemerging ancient threat, the Fell Dragon. However, the thousand-year slumber has impaired Alear's memory, so the player must re-learn the history of the world of Elyos alongside Alear.

Aside from the allies that Alear encounters in the land of Elyos, Alear can also summon via Emblem Rings previous protagonists from the series such as Marth, Ike, and Sigurd. It's Alear's quest to gather the Emblem Rings from the different kingdoms.

Remains the Same Whether Male or Female

As with more recent Fire Emblem games such as Fates and Three Houses, players have the option of choosing between a male and female version of the protagonist. The distinction mostly affects appearance and selection of outfits. As with Corrin and Byleth (the protagonists of the aforementioned games), there likely isn't a canon gender option for the protagonist of Fire Emblem Engage.
