Lucina

Lucina, also known as Marth, Lucy, Princess of Ylisse and Future Witness, is one of the main characters from the Fire Emblem series.
== Charactah Account ==
First appeared as a masked swordsman known as Marth and wields another Falchion, a blade once thought unique, and appears during Chrom's hour of need. She is later revealed to be Chrom's daughter from the future. A kind and just princess who has made it her duty to save the world. In her era, the world was devastated by the reawakened Grima and, by Naga's guidance, she traveled to the past to stop Grima. She loves her father and would do anything to keep him safe and she is least likely to get a joke.
Lucina is a strong willed and driven woman who is determined to alter the dark future she came from. She values her comrades deeply and has a sense of justice. Due to the countless deaths and horrific events of the future, she dislikes any form of death, even "noble" ones. Her main motivations come from her love for her parents, especially Chrom. Lucina is willing to do whatever it takes to see that Chrom stays alive, even if it means going against her wish for no needless deaths. Nevertheless, she is obedient to Chrom and puts her trust in her father's judgements, showing a strong bond of trust with her father.
Bearing a keen resemblance to Marth, it even leads to her being mistaken as him by Tiki when she is introduced, with the latter remarking in their supports that her involuntary actions when helping others further likens her to Marth himself. Furthering that point, she even speaks in a very formal and polite manner more reminiscent of him, contrasting her father. Despite that, she seems to have inherited some of her father's traits as well, as some of her quotes implies that she has his habit of breaking things when practicing. But even with her charismatic traits and skills as a swordswoman, Lucina never gives herself any credit, constantly doubting whether or not she can live up to Marth or her father's name.

== Trivia ==
* Lucina was voted the most popular female character in the Fire Emblem Awakening Character Popularity Poll in Japan.
** Lucina came in 9th in the Fire Emblem Awakening Most Helpful Character poll in Japan.
** Lucina and (male) Robin were voted 8th most popular couple in the Fire Emblem Awakening Couple Popularity Poll in Japan.
** Lucina came in 2nd for females in the Fire Emblem Heroes Choose Your Legends popularity poll. She had 42,875 votes. Her Masked Marth persona was placed in the poll as a separate character and came in 28th place for females. She had 5,470 votes. Considering that the poll included every single character in the franchise, this means Lucina is the highest scoring character of the Awakeningportion and second most popular female character overall.
* Because Chrom does not need to marry Sully, Sumia, Maribelle, Olivia, or the Female Robin—and Lucina must be recruited for story purposes—Lucina is the only child character whose determinate parent does not need to have an S-Support.
* Lucina is the only child in Awakening with a fixed hair color and cannot inherit the hair color of her non-determinate parent.
* Including her Parallel Falchion, and both Rapiers, Lucina can wield a total of 116 unique weapons provided Robin is her mother.
* Lucina's birthday is the same day that Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance were first released in Japan.
* If Lucina and Owain achieve an S-support, they will gain the title "Companion", on their character cards instead of "Husband/Wife" to prevent implications of incest. The title is also used if she achieves an S-support with Morgan if Inigo or Brady is his father (and Chrom is Inigo or Brady's father).
* If Lucina is the daughter of Robin, Lucina will have the most amount of class options out of all characters in the game with a total of 35 (34 without Bride).
** Because of this, Lucina is tied with Female Morgan for the most amount of skills learned in a single playthrough with 74 skills possible.
** However, because Chrom's reclass options are all gender-neutral, Lucina is the only female child unit who cannot inherit male-exclusive class skills. She shares this trait (albeit gender-flipped) with Yarne.
* Lucina's official artwork depicts her wielding the Falchion.
* Her confession image is unique in that the background does not change to a bubbly pattern variant seen in most other confessions.
* If Female Robin marries Chrom, Lucina will have both the Exalted Blood and Fell Dragon Blood. Lucina is one of four children who can possibly have this trait, the other 3 being both Morgans and Owain.
* Lucina is the first Lord in the series to be fought as an enemy Lord. (This does not count Ike in Radiant Dawn as he is a Hero at the time).
* When reclassed into a Dark Knight, Lucina will have the same hairstyle she did while under the disguise as Marth.
* Although Lucina can use Counter in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, it is impossible for her to learn it in Awakening since it is a male exclusive skill and because Chrom cannot reclass into the Fighter classes. Even if he could learn it, Lucina will never inherit it since Chrom always passes Aether down to her.
** Chrom himself gains the ability to use Counter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate despite the above discrepancies.
* Lucina is the first unlockable character in the Super Smash Bros. series to be female, being unlockable in both versions of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U; all of the other unlockable characters, in addition to the ones from the past three games, are either male or gender-neutral (referring to Pokémon).
** She is also the first clone character to be female; the majority of clone characters are male, with Pichu from Melee being gender-neutral.
** This is changed in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where all but the eight characters from the original Nintendo 64 game (out of a cast of 77, excluding DLC) are considered unlockable characters, including almost every female fighter (excluding Samus), as well as the addition of two female Echo Fighters.
* Lucina is one of the few units whose status screen portrait changes at some point of the game, a trait she shares with Marth, Alm, Celica, Ike, Volke, Sothe, Julia, Micaiah, and Kris. Her change happens when her mask is broken before Chapter 6. Unlike most examples, Lucina's portrait changes when she's still an NPC.
* Lucina's mask holds great symbolism. Butterflies have been known to symbolize Hope, Joy, and New Beginnings: all of which are aspects for which Lucina and the other second generation characters fight. It also symbolizes the element of time, which is reflected through their time travelling in game.
* In both the drama CD and the manga, the mask was not her first choice for a disguise, as she initially intended to use a pair of massive glasses.
* One of the two items that the player can receive from Lucina in Fates is the Bear Hat. She refers to it being totally cute which is a joke on Lucina's terrible fashion sense. The hat itself is a reference to the final Drama CD for Awakening. In it, Risen steal things that are beautiful and end up stealing Lucina's tiara. As most of the other second generation characters go to get it back, Lucina decides to go shopping for a replacement, accompanied by Laurent and Severa. Laurent ends up showing Lucina the Bear Hat by mistake and she, in turn, buys 12 of them. Later on they are used to kill the Risen because "they can only be killed by ugly things".
* Lucina's amiibo Hero Battle team in Fates is based on some of the other children from Awakening
** Sky Knight: Cynthia
** Wyvern Rider: Gerome
** Mercenary: Inigo or Severa
** Samurai: Owain
** Dark Mage: Laurent
* According to the drama CD, her tiara was a gift from her mother. This is similar to how Marth obtained his circlet.
* The Spring Festival Paralogue in Fire Emblem Heroes further references Lucina's bad sense in fashion when she shows Xander the egg she painted. Xander has to stop himself from insulting its gaudy appearance.
* Her "Masked Marth" variation is the only character in the game with no innate passive skills whatsoever.
* Lucina shares her English voice actress, Laura Bailey, with Palla in her appearance in Fire Emblem Heroes.
** In her "Tempest Trials", "Spring Festival", and Choose Your Legends variant in Heroes, she shares her other English voice actress, Alexis Tipton, with Clair, and Palla in her appearance in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.
* Lucina was the winner of the 1st Voting Gauntlet (Princes vs. Princesses) in Fire Emblem Heroes.
* Lucina is shown several times to be heterochromatic, with her left eye being brighter than her right one. Most likely, it's because of the brand than of an actual genetic change, but it was never clarified.
