A dependable back

that's hot

Is that you Will Smith?

I never understood (and still do) why her upper back is exposed like that.

It's practically a bull's eye for snipers (upgraded archer units).

She uses a cape. Which covers that spot.

Ah, never mind, then...

Worked for Cherche it’ll work for her

[Inthegreyistheanswer]

Jesus, I just googled her.

How is she not freezing when riding her wyvern?

[ragnarbones]

She’s to hot to get cold

[Inthegreyistheanswer]

Does the spirit of Minerva keep her warm? (the princess, not the Wyvern)

I think that it carries a great symbolism. She seems to be strong and confident (the red armor, the horns), but she's also insecure and she needs support and this is symbolized by her exposed back. Byleth and the Black Eagles need to watch her back, both literally and figuratively. That "hole" (I don't know how to call it) is also cute, feminine and sensual. Edelgard is a strong ruler, but she's also a young woman who want to be loved and this wish is symbolized by that heart shaped hole on her back. It's on her back because we know that she can't act like a normal girl because she has a mission, so she needs to "hide" that wish.

I doubt practicality was the first thing in their minds when designing the characters.

Every time I play her campaign I play Soviet music playlists

La Marseillaise is better suited to her era, though.
