Reasoning: Nowi is a manakete, a humanoid species with a draconic form. Even as a humanoid, and no matter her class, she possesses the dragon affinity, so all of her forms are Dragon-type. Because Manakete, Mage, Sage, and Bride are infantry classes, she is part Normal in those forms (but not when she transforms). As a Dark Knight or Griffon Rider, she possesses the beast affinity, which is tough to represent as a type in Pokémon; I went with Ground for the indomitability and High Horsepower (Griffon power?) of such mounts. Wyvern mounts are part Flying for the same reason Camilla is, while the griffon mount is given a particular Ability due to type limitations. (Yes, Griffon Rider Nowi has three affinities at once.) To clarify the movepool a bit, Nowi's class determines the types of weapons that she can equip.
- Manakete: Dragonstones
- Wyvern Rider and Griffon Rider: Axes
- Wyvern Lord: Axes and Lances
- Mage: Tomes
- Sage: Tomes and Staves
- Dark Knight: Tomes and Swords
- Bride: Lances, Bows, and Staves
Nowi's growth rates in Awakening are obscene compared to those of the Fates characters (and Edelgard), so I instead used stat caps relative to the Villager class as guidelines for the base stats. Tough Claws and Sheer Force are derived from Strength +2 and Magic +2 respectively, while U-turn in Griffon Rider form comes from Deliverer.
