Fire Emblem - A few addition to Manaketes

After rereading some support conversation from Awakening I noticed some stuff were missing about Manaketes.

Telepathy via Enhanced Senses

According to Nah, Manakete's sense of smell is so developped that they can smell intent
For example she was able to smell that Cynthia wanted to be her friend.
Nah:
Sniff, sniff ...Huh? Cynthia, your smell...

Cynthia:
What? What smell? I don't smell! I took a bath last week!

Nah:
N-no, that's not what I... Manaketes can tell a person's intentions by their scent.

Cynthia:
Wow, really? That's kind of amazing.

Nah:
I'm sensing that you...actually want to be friends with me.


Or when she said that Manaketes can smell lies.
Nah:
...I still don't believe you!

Laurent:
Why do you refuse to believe me?!

Nah:
Manaketes can smell dishonesty. And you reek of lies!

Minor Accelerated Development

Over many battles, as the Manaketes keep taking blows their skin gradually become harder and thicker.
Nah:
That'll be sweet... I see... So, why is your skin so much thicker and harder than mine?

Tiki:
That comes from fighting in countless battles. The more times a dragon is struck by blows, the thicker and harder our hide becomes.

Resistance to Telepathy

Tharja couldn't read through Nowi's mind.
Nowi: Huh? Is that you, Tharja? What are you doing?

Tharja: ...Strange. I cannot read through the shell that cloaks your mind.

Nowi: Dragons don't have shells, silly! They have scales and talons and stuff.

Addition to Superhuman Stamina​

Dragons consider playing for tens of hours as a warm up and can keep going from dawn to dusk.
Nowi: I know, right? It's so annoying how quickly some people tire out. I mean, ten hours? Come on! That's like a warm-up! Do you know I haven't found a single playmate since I joined this dumb army? ...Until now, that is! Hee hee! We're going to play games from dawn to dusk!

Addition of the heat of the fire of Manakete​

According to Nowi she can breathe white fire.
Nowi:
It's easy! I turn into a dragon and chase you while spewing white-hot fire. And if I catch you, I totally win!
White fire burn at a temperature of 1300°C which would scale to the fire breathed by Manakete.

Class 10 for regular Manaketes​

According to their support with Robin, Nah can uproot trees for exercise
Nah:
Hmm, yeah. Could be. Is exercise something you humans do a lot?

Robin:
Most of us, yes. It's a great way to get rid of stress and blow off steam. And the healers say regular exercise is the key to good health.

Nah:
Do you uproot trees?

Robin:
Er, no, not usually. In fact, almost never.

Nah:
Oh. That's too bad. Uprooting trees is my favorite bit.
Uprooting trees is a Class 10 feat. Considering that Nah talk as if its something that she often do she would scale to it and so would other Manaketes as Nah who did is only a half blood Manakete which are less dragon-like than pure blooded manaketes.

It would however only apply for the timeline of Akaneia (so the games of Jugdral, Akaneia, Valentia, Ylisse and I guess Fatelandia because of the Inigo, Severa, Owain DLC)
 
This seems fine to me.

Though, I did find a source that said white flames are 1500-1600 degress Celcius; granted, your source seems more reliable.
Well white fire actually vary in temperature between 1300 to 1600 °C. It depend on the intensity, a pale white would be the lowest value while a bright white would be the highest. And since the intensity of the color isn't mentionned by Nowi I picked the lower value.
