The Personality of Mercedes von Martritz (Fire Emblem: Three Houses)

Mercedes von Martritiz is one of the most unique and endearing characters in all of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. But what is her personality type? Well throughout the course of her support conversations with characters like Annette, Ignatz, Dimitri, Sylvain, and so many more characters we can construct an incredibly detailed idea of how her personality typically presents itself within Fire Emblem 3 Houses. Whether it is her constant and reliable prayer in the monastery, her casual and free-spirited nature, or even simply how she is able to take in information, we are able to see her personality shine through in an incredibly holistic and endearing way, which is why Mercedes, a girl who has had an incredibly tough upbringing and eventually ended up in the Blue Lions House at the officer's academy, is the first Fe3H character whose personality I wanted to look at.
I do want to note though that the Myers Briggs Type Indicator is never used for diagnostic purposes and the results from this assessment is often times used as a beginning point for further self exploration and introspection and a lot of times can be beneficial to find a starting point in an individual's career search if maybe they aren't sure where to begin. All in all though, because Mercedes cannot fill the actual assessment out herself this video is intended for pure entertainment value.

I really do love mercie. She can be very sassy but she loves those close to her. She can easily penetrate illusion like how she sees that sylvain isnt a filanderer but a great person. She can even calm down jeritza without fighting. She cares for those close to her and is willing to help them with anything

[@fantasylover87]

Repeating it one more time for the people in the back: introverts aren’t inherently shy or misanthropic! We can love hanging out with friends but just need some alone time once it’s done.

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

YES, 100%. If anyone takes anything from this video I want it to be that. lol

[@Sleepin6Crow]

Another Three Houses character I’d love to see you talk about sometime is Jeritza I feel like he’d be an interesting character to discuss.

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

Jeritza definitely would be pretty interesting.

[@loztpm]

I’d love to see a personality analysis for all the students in Three Houses, but I know that would be a ton of work

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

Can't promise I'll do everyone, but there's definitely more to come!

Mercedes' support with bee boy is amazing. Mercie roasts him with no mercie.

I love the pun.

[@hazelmaple1842]

I’d love to see an in depth look at people like dimitri and Jeritza . Maybe even people like sylvain or Claude (people who put on a smile, laid back but have a lot weighing them down) the one you did on Felix was amazing and this one is also great !

[@B_A-tr]

This would be cool

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

Definitely interesting ideas and they're all characters that I really love!

[@ily9718]

Awesome, I agree with you, she's definitely an ISFP and for more characters, I think the House Leaders could be fun to cover, especially Dimitri and Edelgard but I don't care much, I love all the characters and your videos are always fun to watch, thanks for them and keep it up!

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

Thank you so much that really means a lot. :) I'll probably save the house leaders for my more in-depth "Psychology of..." videos just because there's A LOT I want to talk about with them. I tend to lean these "Personality of..." videos towards characters I love and want to talk about but probably wouldn't have done a "Psychology of..." video on them.

[@katikhov1631]

This is a great analysis on Mercie!! She’s a great character and I agree with your personality type for her! I love her supports with Sylvain, my second favorite, could you go in-depth in his character? Or even Annette and Ingrid would be interesting, I don’t see much content off of their characters despite having unique backgrounds of their own!

[@erinarcher2483]

Mercedes is the character I always recruit first when replaying fire emblem. Which is a thing I may need to go do now :p I'd like to see you do Petra or Felix I really appreciate the description of N vs S, when I take the assessment I'm almost 50/50 N/S with N just squeaking ahead.

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

Ooooo, I hadn't even thought of Petra. That could be interesting! And I'm also an N from when I took the assessment!

[@shadowsquid1351]

Great video, loved listening to this! Mercie is my favorite female character along with Rhea & Leonie, you did her justice.

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

I'm really happy to hear that I was able to do her justice! Thank you!

[@lizzydebessonet9429]

I love the three houses videos! You should do the same Myers-Briggs personality type with Felix (even though you already made a video on him!) He’s one of my favorite characters!

[@romanceinbusan1741]

mercie is one of my favorite characters 🥺🥺 thank you so much for this

[@DaemonKrown]

I loved this video Interesting character and interesting analysis Keep it up

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@yukithesnowman314]

Really enjoy this as a fan of Fire Emblem and someone curious about Briggs personality types. If you're doing all characters I can't wait until you cover Bernadetta. That'll be interesting.

[@solarflare136]

It would be cool to see one of these done on adachi from persona. I love your videos man keep up the great work!

[@AtomicX160]

Hey man, I love the content! I discovered you with the Felix video and have stuck around since. While Ferdinand and Flayn are my two other favorites, and I think they would be very good picks to analyze, my vote has to go to Sylvain. He's actually a really interesting character imo beyond just being a standard flirt. I'd love to see your take on what drives him and how he thinks and analyzes situations as a person.

[@izzyxp6830]

First Persona and now Fire Emblem three houses!? You just keep pulling me back in. Could there be a Edlegard video in the future?? 👀 Also I totally agree with your assessment of her. She is definitely someone who strikes me as unassuming at first but the more you get her to open up, you realize that she’s one of the most unique characters in the FETH cast.

[@katharsis101-]

Great analysis! One thing I can't get off my mind about Mercedes is in BL, when the Western Church guys were sentenced to death by Rhea, and while some people like Dimitri and Ashe reacted like "Do we really have the right to determine that they deserve death?" Mercedes was like "Yeah, anyone that makes an attempt to harm the goddess must die." (this is just an approximation, but they said something like that.) In you analysis you said she is open-minded, and clearly she is, but it also it interests me a lot that aspect of her. It probably is because she grew up in the Church and as such she is really close-minded in that aspect, but for a person like her to say such aggressive words like that surprised me a lot. What do you think?

[@conradcooper2710]

The Church does good propaganda.

[@rhettmitchell]

Did she say that? I forgot about that. Idk if she was being completely serious then, but either way, I think she’s grown since then and no longer would feel that way anyway

[@stevencampbell1970]

Can you please do a personality video on Dimitri?

[@rosemclean2519]

Do Sylvain Next!

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

I definitely want to talk about Sylvain at some point in the future, he's probably my favorite character to recruit in the game.

[@rosemclean2519]

ThoughtBubble Well he is a free recruit for female Byleth so he’s one of the most common recruits.

[@user-nn1mf8lr2w]

Yay, more Fire Emblem!

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

Hope you enjoyed!

[@user-nn1mf8lr2w]

@@ThoughtBubbleYT I did! Even though Blue Lions was the last one I tried, I liked the characters quite a lot. Judging by your character choice, your first playthrough was the Blue Lions, right? I like when you do analysis on these characters, keep up the good work!

[@precious_muse]

The prayer for ISFP, “Help me stand up for my rights (if you don’t mind my asking).” How about some of the characters from the Phoenix Wright games?

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

Oooo, I've been meaning to try out the Phoenix Wright franchise. Does the franchise have some pretty great characters?

[@precious_muse]

Oh, yes it does. In fact, the most multifaceted characters are probably the antagonists, that is the prosecutors. I suggest you start with the trilogy that was re-released last year on PS4, Steam, or iPhone.

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

@@precious_muse Ooooo, I'll definitely have to look into this once I get through some other games I have in my backlog. :)

[@foolishlyfoolishfolly3209]

@@ThoughtBubbleYT I have to second this recommendation, and actually think Dual Destinies might be the most interesting from a character perspective.

[@HoosierJedi]

I think you’re on point. As an INTJ, Mercedes is basically my polar opposite.

[@colebaxter8597]

I feel that this channel's creator may have a bias for the Blue Lions lmao. However, the content is great. I would like to suggest Lysithea of the Golden Deer next. Her trauma from being Experimented on is worth looking at. Also her support with Cyril should be included just because it's wholesome.

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

Oh no. You caught me. I definitely have a bias towards the Blue Lions, but I definitely would like to cover the other houses in the future! I’m still working through the Golden Deer storyline though!

[@pedro2629]

Do you have other Three Houses videos planned? there are so many more characters to explore that you could do a series of it

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

Oh definitely! I'm juggling it with my Persona content and some other franchises I'm interested in starting to talk about, but I definitely have a couple Three Houses characters on my calendar I'm planning to talk about!

Hm, that could be pretty difficult. No promises on that one, but I'll never say never!

[@sakutaro3musik486]

I would love to see you cover dimtri ^-^ He and merci married in my playthrough because I thought dimitri cared so much for others that he needed someone who cares for him like merci and same goes for her, Dimitri is such a loving men and merci deserves him. He had a mental breakdown because of his PTS but I think he is the most emotional character of all in three houses and I would like to see you analyse him

[@jesserivera2043]

I would love to see a series on the Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel characters, specifically the students of class 7 (main protagonists). But if you're sticking to this game, then Dorothea. It would be great to hear your take on her drive to get out of her situation by marriage.

[@TheOwlet22]

Maybe Flayn or Sedeth for next characters? They’re not my far characters but they’re very interesting to think about considering their circumstances in game

[@rexmon2592]

You should do other fire emblem characters and not just three houses ones :( I love these videos though, great job!

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

The only other Fire Emblem games I've played are the Blazing Blade and Path of Radiance! So I'll definitely take it into consideration in the future since they have some amazing characters but it's not on the calendar right now. :)

This might be hard to do, but in Final Fantasy 14 there is a character called Emet-Selch I would love for you to make a video on him since he is so interesting.

I was very close when I assumed she was an INFJ. After all, you did say you had a hard time figuring out if she perceived more or judged more. Anyways, good video!

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

I was definitely on the fence about it! I literally had part of my script written out for her as a judging type but as I thought about it more I ended on perceiving. I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@PrimeofPerfection]

Hmm... who else would I like to see? Focusing on 3 Houses alone, my immediate thoughts are... hmm... Edelgard, maybe? Though I'm fairly certain she's an ENTJ. Hmm... Actually, it would be nice to see the 5 core characters in Byleth, Edelgard, Dimitri, Rhea, and Claude tackled!

Can I suggest if you could deconstruct the psychology of some Metal Gear Solid characters, like Huey Emmerich in MGS5?

I've never actually played any Metal Gear Solid games but that might be something to look into in the future.

[@starkller919]

@@ThoughtBubbleYT Huey is probably one of the most interesting characters in the Metal Gear franchise when it comes to psychological issues. Especially with his role is in 5, there's boatloads of his view on the world and himself in these cassette tapes you collect in the game.

[@Jake38nine]

I also want to point out that War Creates Prejudice. In the game at least. I've seen multiple people calling certain characters, like Ingrid, "racist" because she's prejudice towards Dedue. War and whatever someone in a higher position tells you will create that prejudice. Remember, Ingrid, Felix, Dimitri, Sylvain, ect... were all friends and KIDS during the tragedy at Duscurr. How can you blame kids for being "racist" when they saw war take away their families and were told it was the Duscurr's fault? Especially when the game explains how the war was started and how it had nearly nothing to do with Duscurr or race. I just HATE how people will see a LITTLE bit of prejudice and call someone "racist". If that were the case, then we would ALL be racist. That's the facts of the situation. We all have a little racism in us, so I guess we're all racist. We're all prejudice. That also means we're all a little bit sexist as well. We can try to be as fair and "equal" as possible, but it's almost impossible to NOT be prejudice. More people need to understand this. These are the facts.

[@ThoughtBubbleYT]

I mean, I agree. But I don't think I called anyone racist or blamed them for it? I think I just passively pointed out that prejudice is there and the fact that Mercie didn't partake, which is dope.

[@Jake38nine]

@@ThoughtBubbleYT I know you didn't. I'm just pointing out what others have prejudicially said about some characters, and they're just plain wrong. And since you dive deep into their psychology, I thought you'd understand that point of view.

[@basilofgoodwishes4138]

@@Jake38nine Ingrid wasn't a bit prejudice, she openly said that she thought the Genocide was well earned, but that Dedue is different from others. Bigotry is in all people, but not everyone commits genocide or says that the Genocide on an entire people is well earned.

[@Jake38nine]

@@basilofgoodwishes4138 When you're angry and governments spin narratives and media spin narratives, you can't blame the people for their anger. Plus, governments have to make their soldiers angry to give them a reason to fight, or else it would cause them to question. Ingrid was a little girl back then. It's no different than someone growing up with racist parents and growing up being racist themselves. It's all learned behavior. Blame the roots of the evil, not the individual persons.
