Lissa: Pure Joy

A princess of Ylisse and Chrom's sister. Of all the winter-festival party foods, she loves cake the most.

Lissa is the spirited younger sister of Chrom and Emmeryn, and a princess of the Halidom of Ylisse. Though born into nobility, she shuns the trappings of royalty, choosing instead to fight alongside her brother as a founding member of the Shepherds. Serving as the group’s primary healer, Lissa supports Chrom both on and off the battlefield, driven by love for her family and her kingdom.

During the conflict with Plegia, Lissa plays a key role in accompanying Chrom and the army in efforts to protect Emmeryn. After an initial attempt to prevent her sister’s assassination, Lissa joins the Shepherds in relocating her to safety. Their efforts are upended when Emmeryn is captured by King Gangrel and sentenced to death. Lissa is devastated by the news, fainting upon hearing it, and later bears witness to Emmeryn’s self-sacrifice—choosing to end her own life rather than let the Fire Emblem fall into enemy hands. Powerless to stop it, Lissa watches in horror, her grief matched only by her determination to carry on in Emmeryn’s memory.

Lissa is known for her bright, outgoing personality and serves as a vital emotional anchor for the Shepherds. She often lightens tense situations with humor, pranks, and laughter—though she’s self-conscious about her childishness and unrefined habits, such as skipping across camp or snorting when she laughs. Despite occasional feelings of inadequacy, she connects more easily with commoners and soldiers than most nobles, earning her the trust and friendship of those around her.

Though Lissa worries she isn’t suited to her station, her candid, down-to-earth nature proves to be one of her greatest strengths. Encouraged by Chrom, she seeks guidance from others in the army on how to be a better princess, only to learn that her natural warmth and honesty already make her beloved among her peers. She forms bonds with people from all walks of life and judges others based on her own instincts rather than reputation or rank.

Lissa’s relationship with her siblings is central to her identity. She idolizes Emmeryn and tries to emulate her grace and kindness, and she shares a close, supportive bond with Chrom. Emmeryn’s death shakes her deeply, but Lissa ultimately finds strength in the ideals her sister lived by.

Appearance: Lissa has a slender, youthful body with fair skin. Her hair is light blonde and voluminous, styled into two thick, curled pigtails that spring outward with fluffy fullness, while shorter strands frame her face. A white-fur-lined red Santa hat rests atop her head, trimmed with gold embroidery along its edges and ending in a round white pom-pom at the back. Her eyes are a vivid light blue. She wears a short crimson dress trimmed heavily in white fur, the fabric glossy and fitted around her upper body to emphasize her petite chest and narrow waist. The neckline is modestly low, with a small green holly leaf and red berries centered at the collarbone. Puffy red sleeves cinch tightly at her elbows with fur cuffs. Around her midsection, a brown corset hugs her torso, laced with gold and fastened tightly to draw in her waist, from which hangs a string of small golden stars that drape diagonally across her skirt. Over the skirt is a white apron edged with ruffles, belted at the waist and giving way to a flared red underskirt that extends outward. The hem of the dress and the edges of the sleeves are all lined with plush white fur. Hanging from her skirt are golden chains strung with geometric crystal ornaments and tiny bells, swaying near her thighs. Her legs are encased in form-fitting dark stockings that reach mid-thigh beneath her outfit. Over them she wears tall, glossy red boots with fur trim at the top, golden star-shaped toe guards, and decorative golden buttons running down the sides. In one hand she holds a large gold bell, its rim engraved with diamond-pattern etching and tied with a deep green ribbon and bow. The handle is wrapped for grip, leading up to the polished, gleaming bell body.

Lissa uses a Handbell like an axe.

She is an armored unit. She is currently a member of the Order of Heroes.

A white and gold handgun-like object, it has the unique ability of summon Heroes from other worlds from it.

There are four unit types: Armored, Cavalry, Flying, Infantry.

Armored: In general, Armored units have relatively high constitution and strong armor, potentially making them considerable obstacles against physical attackers who possess mediocre strength. Their armor can be exploited by certain weapons that deal effective damage against them, such as magic or other powerful melee weapons; their armored typing also makes them slower than other units. Cavalry: Fast units that attack while on horseback. They are very fast an can cover a lot of distance. Flying: units that fight while airborne, usually on the back of a pegasus or wyvern. They can fly over most obstacles. Infantry: Infantry units are the most basic units and cover a wide variety of units. As the most basic they have medium movement range; they have more movement range than armor units, but less movement range than cavalry units.
