A princess and daughter of Chrom who traveled to her past to prevent apocalypse. Appears in Fire Emblem Awakening. Name: Lucina Gender: Female Race: Human Birthday: April 29 Age: 19 Relatives: Altea Royalty (Ancestors), First Exalt (Ancestor), Marth (Ancestor), Unnamed Grandfather, Emmeryn (Aunt), Chrom (Father), Lissa (Aunt), Owain (Cousin), Ophelia (First Cousin Once Removed) Occupation: Princess of Ylisse, West-Khan Champion Weapon: Falchion </Personal Information> Lucina is a young woman with long blue hair, fair skin and blue eyes. She wears a golden tiara on her head, she wears a blue tunic dress with yellow linings over a black woolen bodysuit, blue scarf around her neck, two blue shoulder armor plate on both sides, two straps around her body, blue fingerless arm gloves with white cuffs and knee-high blue boots. Lucina has a blue short hair when she wears her blue mask as Marth. Then, she removes her blue mask and makes her hair long. Lucina is a strong willed, pragmatic, and serious woman, who is determined to defy fate to alter the dark future she came from. She admires historical figures and her ancestors, showing extreme reverence to her father, and trying to emulate how she thought her ancestor Marth acted, to lend her the strength she needed. Due to the countless deaths and horrific events of the future, she dislikes any form of death, even "noble" ones. Her stoic personality and lacking sense of humor are results of her feeling responsible for the surviving children of Shepherds, so being their leader, she believes there's no place for herself to lighten up. She cares for comrades deeply and has a sense of justice. Lucina also is humble of her swordsmanship. Despite being noted to be a very skilled fighter by the likes of Chrom and Basilio, she feels that she pales in comparison to them and even doubts if she was worthy to use the name of Marth despite their many similarities.

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 her father and puts her trust in his judgements, showing a strong bond of trust with him. 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 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 she enthusiastically loves to train with her father and has stated that she inherited Chrom's recklessness when training, often destroying training dummies.

Like her father, she has a strong belief that fate can be changed. Much to her disbelief, many of her interventions during the Ylisse-Plegia war resulted in only minor changes that ultimately still lead to similar results as in her time. By the time-skip, Lucina's actions became much more drastic and open such as pleading to Basilio to not to fight Walhart and later nearly making a choice against the will of her father. Ultimately, she relented on her plan when her father intervened and was nearly driven to despair when her father was seemingly killed. However, witnessing fate literally change before her eyes renewed her belief that destiny could be overcome and placed her full trust in Chrom and his allies to overturn the grim future.

As a result of her childhood tragedies, Lucina desperately tries to reclaim as much lost time she had with her parents with their younger versions of the current timeline. She resolves herself to quietly depart from her present parents once peace has been restored to the world as to not take away from her present self. To her relief, both assure her that they would always welcome her with open arms. In some of her endings, especially her solo ending, she follows through and departs without a trace. She treasures her Falchion because of it being the last possession left behind by her father, as she gets angered at her sibling using it to cut apples.

She also has a paranoid streak. Said behavior goes so far as to be paranoid of Female Robin if she is not her mother, because of her close relationship with Chrom, only to irrationally demand for Robin to fall in love with her father when the former claims to not consider him gallant, much to their mutual confusion.

Despite her serious and stoic persona, Lucina has light and unintentionally goofy moments around the ones she is close with, especially her parents and sibling. One of her most bizarre traits is her odd taste for aesthetics, as it is shown most prominently in her supports with her mother, where she goes from purchasing a dress featuring pictures of Emmeryn to attempting to pick several other options while shopping with her (which goes from uncommon to literally being only strings). This is further proven by the fact that she wears bizarre Groucho Marx glasses in the official Awakening comics and drama CDs, and buys and owns numerous bear hats in both the drama CDs, and in her appearance in Fates. In the Hot-Spring Scramble, Lucina was hellbent on purchasing a wooden carving of Chrom (or Robin if she is her mother), believing that other people were likely to buy out the product even though Robin commented that they were not particularly noteworthy. In Engage, Emblem Lucina's taste for fashion is further displayed when she excitedly remarks to Anna in a Bond Conversation that she loves a selection of shirts with Anna's face on them, and that she would buy ten even though Anna was not happy with how the shirts had turned out. When she tries to emulate Owain's flair for theatrics, she nicknames Falchion "Pointy Demonspanker" in their Support Conversation, causing him to reel in confusion and amusement simultaneously.

Lucina has a rather dry sense of humor, and in her Awakening profile is described as the least likely to get a joke out of everyone in the Shepherds. However, her sense of humor and what she personally finds funny can be disarming to others. In Engage, when Jade asks for feedback on one of her novels, Lucina says she cracked up at a scene that Jade had intended to be emotional, and in a subsequent conversation, Lucina again surprises Jade by remarking that she found the ending hysterical when it was not meant to be. Lucina is the daughter of Chrom who was born within the two-year period after the end of the Ylisse-Plegia War. Due to the death of her aunt Emmeryn, Chrom took on the role of Exalt, making Lucina the Crown Princess of Ylisse. As proof of her heritage, Lucina's Brand of the Exalt appears on her left eye.

In the original future, Lucina recounts that she spent a lot of time with Chrom, developing a particularly strong bond with him. She was taught swordplay from an early age by Chrom himself, of which she showed significant talent and also his penchant for unintentionally destroying training dummies. She was also deemed worthy to wield Falchion by the blade itself. Lucina's possible mothers are female Robin, Sully, Sumia, Maribelle, Olivia, and an unnamed village maiden. And her possible younger siblings are male Morgan, Kjelle, Cynthia, Brady, and Inigo.

Chrom was often away, dealing with the Grimleal in particular. With the help of the Shepherds, he eventually faced off against Validar at the Dragon's Table. With his most trusted allies by his side, the cult leader was slain, however Chrom was betrayed by his closest ally and killed. Chrom's death lead to the resurrection of the Fell Dragon Grima who laid waste to the future.

His destruction killed all of the Shepherds, leaving behind only their children, including Lucina. Despite this, Lucina recovered Falchion and used it to help fend off the Risen and fight back against Grima. It is implied that she attempted to evoke the Awakening, but without the necessary means to perform the rite in full, she was only able to partially empower Falchion. With little hope left for humanity, the Divine Dragon Naga gathered the children of the Shepherds. Opening a portal in time, Naga sent them into the past in hopes of averting the ruinous future.

Upon arriving in the future, Lucina decided to put on a secret identity, bundling her hair to appear short and wore a mask given to her by Gerome. When she's in her secret identity, she calls herself Marth, the Hero-King who is her ancestor. Her weapon is Falchion, a legendary sword inherited from Chrom.
