Nope, the growth rates are the average of personal and variable parent.

For the Marriage classes, i think she can get almost(if not all) class of game marrying kamui

For anyone who did OdinxElise, how did Ophelia turn out?

I haven't done it, but it looks like it should turn out great. Assuming I'm running the numbers correctly, Elise!Ophelia should have the following growths:

HP 43, STR 18, MAG 47, SKL 40, SPD 45, LUC 65, DEF 25, RES 30

...which is pretty fantastic. Ophelia doesn't really care if she has Rod Knight unless you really need another healer, but Odin likes it to get Tomebreaker because his SPD and RES are bad, and Elise loves getting Dark Mage. So I think it's probably a good pairing.

On a more personal note with Ophelia, I honestly didn't like Lissa from FEA too much, but I think part of that was that I married her my first time through the game and her S-Rank with the avatar was pretty awful. If I hadn't tried to marry her, I think I would like her a lot more. So I'm trying to keep an open mind for Dark!Lissa here. I like what I've read about her personality so far, so I think I'll like her just fine, and I definitely plan to use her because I LOVE LOVE LOVE her passive. If I was an FEFates character I could not think of a passive I would want more.

I'm planning to do a Felicia!Ophelia what would become of her? And sounds good to make a Dark blood Kanna daughter to this Ophelia?

[Luninareph]

Oh! Well, again, assuming I'm doing the numbers correctly:

HP 47, STR 20, MAG 37, SKL 42, SPD 40, LUC 60, DEF 25, RES 28

Felicia!Ophelia is basically Elise!Ophelia-lite, but not enough to really hurt Ophelia. The only really noticeable difference is 37% MAG growth instead of 47%, but that really isn't as bad as it sounds because Sorcerer has a +25% MAG growth, so either way she'll have over 60% MAG growth in the class. So growths-wise, it's fine.

There IS a difference in stat caps, though.

Elise!Ophelia: STR +0, MAG +5, SKL +0, SPD +1, LUC +3, DEF -2, RES +1

Felicia!Ophelia: STR -1, MAG +4, SKL +2, SPD +1, LUC +2, DEF +0, RES +1

So as you can see, Elise makes Ophelia a little more of a glass cannon and Felicia makes her a little more evenly rounded. They're both really good options, I should think.

As for marrying Felicia!Ophelia to get a Dark Blood!Kanna... well, if you're planning on using Dark Blood!Kanna with the Dragonstone, you definitely prefer Felicia!Ophelia to Elise!Ophelia, because the Dragonstone is a tanking weapon and Felicia!Ophelia will give Kanna better DEF. So, yeah, I should think it's probably a fine idea :)

One play through I plan to do Elise!Ophelia!Kanna just because of a certain fan comic and to make a super witch. :D...

Thanks, now returning for ophelia, how good is missitelain? For what I read it is usefull but not the best weapon

[Luninareph]

Well... I mean, just looking at the stats should tell you everything you need to know. It's an E-Rank tome with 9 MT, 70 HIT, and 10 CRIT that gives SKL and RES +1. It's an E-Rank tome with stats comparable to C-Rank. Obviously it's no Excalibur, but it'll at least cover Ophelia until she can use Lightning or Rainarok. Also, Ophelia needs to equip lots of spells so she can trigger her passive, so you might as well keep it on her forever, even if she's not using it, just so she's not taking a tome away from somebody else.

I know this may sound very weird, but how does the stat caps look for a Luna!Ophelia? Sol seems good on her. I just want to know so that i can be pleased that my pairing of Owain and Severa did paid off back at FE:A. I might go Elise!Ophelia for IK whenever i can.

Hard to get her because Odin is just not a good unit.

A good tome early on but out-shined by tomes you get mid-late game. As a Sorcerer, you're going to want to abuse her naturally higher crit rating so Mjölnir is a much better boost and does greater crit damage (x4). Lightning is another option when you want to try multiple hits instead of crits to take down an enemy.

Assuming the growth formula is Ophelia's growths + Luna's/2 (rounded up) :

HP 43% STR 23% MAG 25% SKL 33% SPD 45% LUK 48% DEF 33% RES 30%

Caps: 0STR/2MAG/1SKL/2SPD/2LUK/2DEF/0RES

Sol is good but it's not worth it, trust me. Odin wants a magic wife.

[Luninareph]

Assuming the growth formula is Ophelia's growths + Luna's/2 (rounded up) :

Do we know if that's the formula for inheritance yet? I know there's been some debate over what it is. I was using Odin+Ophelia+mother/3 for my numbers, but I don't know if that's accurate.

[Duke of Dozel]

Well I personally don't believe that's the case. With aptitude, my Aqua!Soliel should have a 80% STR growth, and she frequently didn't gain any.

[alguidrag]

Lighting, Mjonir and Missitelain can be forged? I still didn't understand the forge mecanics of fates

Also for the Mage woman that Odin can Marry other than the mentioned here we have Nix FKamui

[Duke of Dozel]

Misstletainn can be forged but you only get one in the game, I believe, so it's still not forgable.

[Luninareph]

Well I personally don't believe that's the case. With aptitude, my Aqua!Soliel should have a 80% STR growth, and she frequently didn't gain any.

Huh. That's pretty difficult to believe no matter how stat growth is inherited...

Lazward STR = 45%

Soleil STR = 60%

Azura STR = 50%

Method 1: 45 + 60 + 50 = 155/3 = ~52%

Method 2: 60 + 50 = 110/2 = 55%

Aptitude is 10% and I'm assuming you had her as a Hero for another 15%, so yes, you're right: either way you should have had at least 77% and at most 80% STR growth. You must have gotten quite unlucky to get such poor gains D:

[alguidrag]

I see that many tomes have the effect of halving the magic for the next atack, how this works?
