Fire Emblem Warriors[]
While Palla, Catria and Est don't appear in the Fire Emblem Warriors spin-off, they are mentioned in Cordelia and Ceada's support conversation. Cordelia (who comes from the same world as the Whitewing Sisters but two millennia later) asks Ceada (who has fought alongside the sisters in the War of Shadows) if she knows the Triangle Attack (which is considered to be a legend in Cordelia's time). Caeda answers that she has seen the sisters performed the Triangle Attack but never learned how to do it herself. They agree to try to recreate it with Hinoka, another pegasus knight. And if all three of them achieve A-supports with each other, they will perform the move as part of their Awakening special attack.
Fire Emblem Heroes[]
All three Whitewing sisters appear in Heroes in their New Mystery, Echoes, and Spring attire. Additionally, the three of them as young children appear in a Duo Hero led by Palla with Catria holding Est as a cohort. One could call them a "Trio Hero". At the time of writing, they are the only Heroes to hold this distinction.
Fanon[]
The Whitewings Sisters are quite popular within the Fire Emblem fandom. This is due to the fact that they are some of the most recurring playable characters in the series. They are considered to have served to create the archetype of the three pegasus sisters. Palla and Catria are popular for being responsible and strong but Est is sometimes criticized because she is a unit hard to use, has been captured twice and because she left her family. They are also liked because they are the only characters that can perform the Triangle Attack in the games they appear in.
