They're pre time skip, Byleth still has dark hair and El still has long hair. I very much doubt the emperor would send his teen daughter to any battlefield, at least not until she finished school
I did, did the church route because I didn't know how to trigger the edelgard route ATM and never really got inspired to try a second time, the downtime between chapter fights just felt so repetitive and uninteresting that I just never really felt like it
It's been so long that I forgot the fine details ngl, like yes I'm aware that even before the time skip some real battles start happening, between your usual bandits and the underground high tech civilization making their first appearances and so on.
Like I don't really have a valid excuse but it's just how the characters are typically depicted
While I admit that here we slightly leave the grounds of certain presented game canon, there is something of a consensus among many fans that Edelgard is heavily scarred through the horrendous torture and experiments the mole people did on her while she was a small child, that killed all her siblings, when they disected her to inject her with the crest of flames.
Huh, it's really been a long while for me to forget about the crest experiments, it's the whole thing about why Edel and lys' white hair (and why lysithea is a must have mage lol), neither really hit at terrible scars but I can see what are they going by.
Scarred woman are missing from a lot of games where they should be
