One huge story element in Fire Emblem: Three Houses is which house your character will select to teach. Your selection will alter the path of the story so it is an important choice - not to mention a great reason to replay the game.
When a house is selected, the player will have access to a number of students to go into battle with. While players can still interact with the other leaders and the members of the other houses, your group is who you will be interacting with the most.
Each student has their own unique personalities, abilities and weapon affinities. So selecting the correct house for you and your playstyle can be crucial. While there is the ability to Recruit students from the other two Houses, you won't be able to do so in the beginning of the game.

There are three Houses in the new Fire Emblem game; the Black Eagles, Blue Lions and Golden Deer. While information on all the students is available in-game, we've compiled each character's quirks, weapons and abilities in one place.
