The second Princess of Ylisse's royal house and Emmeryn and Chrom's younger sister. Determined to prove herself. Appears in Fire Emblem Awakening. Name: Lissa Gender: Female Race: Human Birthday: March 6 Age: 15-17 Relatives: Altea Royalty (Ancestors), First Exalt (Ancestor), Marth (Ancestor), Unnamed Father, Emmeryn (Elder Sister), Chrom (Elder Brother), Lucina (Future Niece), Owain (Future Son), Ophelia (Future Granddaughter) Occupation: Princess of Ylisse, Member of the Shepherds Weapon: Staffs </Personal Information> Lissa is a petite girl with blonde hair tied into twintails, grey eyes, and fair skin. She wears a yellow dress with a cage skirt with a white apron. She has white stockings and brown boots. She has a hairband with ornaments that resembles white buttons hanging down from it. Boundlessly cheerful and friendly, Lissa serves as a source of happiness and good spirit for the Shepherds during the otherwise dour nature of war. She has a naïve, simplistic outlook and can come off as seemingly spoiled and immature. She enjoys pulling lighthearted pranks on Robin and pouted in frustration when Donnel, a village boy, shows slightly superior intellect to her when she was attempting to teach him. She shows some embarrassment over these traits as she views them as unladylike. Her childish tendencies lead to her skipping the most out of everyone in the army in the Japanese version. The English version instead has her embarrassed over her snorting laughter, which she is the most likely to do so in the army.

Contrary to her noble title, Lissa speaks earnestly and has been noted to be more like a commoner in her mannerisms rather than what some would expect a princess to act. This is her greatest strength socially as she connects better with most people in the army in comparison to both Chrom and Emmeryn. At times, she feels she does not fit her station enough, but after Chrom insists that she talk to other members of the army on how to be "a better princess", her comrades say that she is perfect as she is. She is not easily swayed by the rumors of others and prefers to make judgements for herself. She ignored most of the ill rumors surrounding Maribelle when they first met, leading to their unbreakable friendship to each other. Lissa's compassion is also one of her greatest traits, as her willingness to indiscriminately help anyone and befriend all whom she meets makes her a crucial member of the Shepherds. Lissa shares a strong bond with both of her siblings, particularly Emmeryn as she tries to emulate her in her daily life. She endlessly worries over her during her time away and especially when Emmeryn left the Shepherd's protection to parley with Gangrel. She was utterly crushed when Emmeryn sacrificed herself, but like Chrom, found the resolve to move forward and uphold the values she held dear for the sake of her family and her people. Due to spending the most time together, Lissa and Chrom share a mutual bond of trust as Chrom is highly protective of Lissa and in turn, Lissa supports her brother's goals. This does not prevent the two from exchanging barbs. Nonetheless, Lissa finds the strength and confidence to head into battle thanks to Chrom and in turn, Lissa helps raise his spirits and serves as a reminder of how the people should feel in times of peace. The fact that her older siblings have the Mark of the Exalt while she does not is a sore subject and she at times worries about her legitimacy as a member of Ylissean royalty. Nonetheless, she continues to be a loving sister and her siblings reciprocate.

Even before being formally introduced, Lissa felt a strong connection to Owain at the start of his Paralogue. Owain paints Lissa as a strict mother, as she insists that he speak normally to others, otherwise she would "tan his hide", according to his support with Lucina. In most of their supports and conversations in Awakening and Warriors however, Lissa is rather overbearing and affectionate. While she does not share the same level of flair for theatrics as her son, she understands his heart and is proud of him. The fact that he inherited the Brand of the Exalt proved to be one of the happiest moments of her life, thus validating her heritage. She practically gushes over the slightest signs of protective affection from him and is not shy from generously tight hugs. Even with her son, Lissa does not spare Owain from her playful teasing.

Her nickname for Emmeryn is "Emm".

Born to the Ylissean royal family, Lissa is the youngest of the three siblings, thus is the princess of Ylisse. Lissa's father, the previous Exalt, passed away when Lissa was about four years old and Emmeryn, her elder sister, succeeded him. Due to tensions left behind by her father's crusade against the neighboring country of Plegia, Lissa's older brother Chrom formed the Shepherds to defend Ylisse's boarders from Plegian bandits. Lissa joined as one of the vigilante group's healers.

During her youth, she met Maribelle, a Ylissean noble who was scorned by noble youths due to her haughty attitude. Seeing past her prickly exterior, the two quickly struck up a strong friendship and they consider each other their best friends, so much so that Maribelle would join the Shepherds herself to be with her friend.

In the future, Lissa would have a son named Owain, a granddaughter named Ophelia and a niece named Lucina who is Chrom's daughter. Lissa uses staffs as her weapon.
