- Roy – “I never see you speaking with other people. You don't like talking that much?”
- Sue – “That's not the case. [...] It's just that I like talking with other things more. [...] The breeze, the trees, the sky, the brooks... They are all speaking to us. [...] Be sure to listen to nature, and you'll hear all sorts of voices. You'll feel better after that.”

Canon[]
Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade[]
Roy is the protagonist of Binding Blade noble heir of Pherae house. Sue is the daughter of Rath and granddaughter of Dayan of the Kutolah tribe of Sacae. She had a happy life on the plains with her tribesmates. But at some time, a general of Bern's kingdom, launched an attack on Sacae and ended up defeating the tribe of Djute, and made the tribe of Djute help Bern to defeat the Kutolah. Sue, in an attempt to buy some time for her clansmen, faces the incoming attack, but this ends up being a ruse; the main forces were waiting where the Kutolah women and children had fled to, and Sue is unable to help them. Apparently, she is the only survivor of this massacre, she manages to escape to Lycia and she was rescued by Orun, the Marquess Thria from Lycia.
Yet when Wagner rebels and assassinates his lord Orun, Sue is taken as a political prisoner, to be sent to Bern soon. She is eventually rescued by Roy and the remnants of the Lycian Alliance army, who had been also trapped by Wagner. After inquiring about their goal, she decides to join Roy's army in order to fight against Bern and Djute, to avenge Lord Orun and her Kutolah clansmen.
In their conversations, that lead to their romance, Sue becomes Roy's close companion and important soothing figure as they try to cheer each other and connecting with nature. Roy is surprised when Sue first directs the word to him, seeing she is so quiet in the army. She noted though, that he is sad and tries to raise his spirit, for which he is grateful and seeks her to thank for that. Roy also manages to make Sue smile, despite them being in the middle of a war; and Roy comments that her smile has a 'good feel' to it, as it was a rare sight.
Sue recruits important people for Roy's army, the Sacaen Sin and then, if the Etrurian army chooses to liberate Sacae first, Sue reunites with her grandfather Dayan, and convinces him to join forces with Roy, assuring him that the Lycian lord does not plan on conquering them thereafter. After liberating Sacae, she, together with Sin and Dayan, shows Roy where the Divine Weapon wielded by Hanon, Mulagir, is hidden.
In the end of the war, she will return to her home in the plains, aiming to restore her tribe, and live a humble life, Despite her wish of not wanting to be seen as a heroine of war, her people compared her to the legendary warrior Hanon.
Roy eventually asks if Sue wants to go to Pherae with him, claiming it's not a very big place but she will like it. Sue firstly refuses, saying that her place is in the plains. Though, she eventually changes her mind, surrendering to her love and she married Roy turning the next marchioness of Pherae. However, she never could cast away her love for nature, and her behavior sometimes troubled those around her who were not familiar with Sacaen culture.
Fire Emblem Heroes[]
Roy and Sue are two of the heroes that the player can summon separately via the Breidablik using orbs to help Alfonse and his sister Sharena defending their kingdom Askr from the Emblian Empire. As in their original game, Roy and Sue can develop a bond via support. They can raise their level of support in the following ranks: C, B, A and S if they stand together in the gameplay. Roy has different variations, but Sue has only one.
Sue makes a cameo in the bridal alt banner which many of Roy's suitors appear in a bride's dressing competition to get his attention. Roy comments that he won't chose any of the girl, and may other time, he will pick someone, possibly pointing to Sue as she is the one who refused to dress up for the event therefore not being an unit of the theme
Fanon[]
Sue is one of the popular ships for Roy in The Binding Blade fandom. The pairing is often appreciated alongside the Sacae route, in which Sue can possibly have a major role. Also, while not exclusive, many who like Elilyn may also appreciate RoySue due to their similarities. Roysue shippers who also like Elfiora like the fact that Sue have similarities with Roy's potential mother Fiora, both saw all their companions being murdered and suffers from survivor's guilt.
In fanfictions, Sue is depicted as someone who loves to teach Roy the things of nature and consequently, they both often go horseback riding through the woods and thus, Roy also becomes a naturalist. Therefore, this pairing is a favorite of those people who are fans of nature and of pairings between two different ethnicities.
Rival pairings usually are Roy's other love interests, more specifically Royphia, Roylarum RoyLili and Roylia in Roy's side; and Sinsue (Sue x Sin) on Sue's side. The shippers of such alternatives may frown upon that Sue rejected Roy in their support claiming that she would be happier in the plains even though she chooses to be with him in the end.
