'''Lyn''' ({{ja|リン|Rin}}, ''Lin''), whose full name is '''Lyndis''', is a character from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} series, specifically ''{{b|Fire Emblem|game}}''. She appears as an [[Assist Trophy]], a [[trophy]], and a [[sticker]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and as an Assist Trophy and a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

In ''Brawl'', Lyn appears as an [[Assist Trophy]]. Upon being summoned, she charges her sword and causes the screen to fade to dark slightly, before teleporting near an enemy to deliver a slash. She usually hits the opponent closest to her. Her attack is powerful (KOing opponents as low as 32%) and pinpoint accurate, even against a moving or airborne foe as well as being capable of hitting Sonic out of his [[Super Sonic|Final Smash]]. It can also hit an enemy that is edge grabbing. However, her attack can be avoided with a well-timed air dodge or roll, and Lyn will pseudo-self destruct without attacking if she happens to be summoned over terrain that will disappear before she lands.

Lyn reprises her role as an Assist Trophy, functioning identically to her appearance in ''Brawl''; however, she can be defeated if she takes enough hits. While she still performs the same slash, it now appears as a crescent-shaped slice instead of a straight line across the screen.

==Origin==

Lyn is the second female main character in the series and the first one since ''Fire Emblem Gaiden''; she is the only one of three main lords of the game who does not appear in ''[[Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade]]''. Born in the Sacaen Plains, her parents—Lord Hassar, chieftain of the Lorca tribe, and Madelyn, daughter of Lord Hausen of Caelin—were killed by bandits before the beginning of the game.  

At the start of the game, Lyn meets the player (who acts as a tactician in the game); after assisting her in defeating bandits near her house, Lyn decides to follow him or her in the interest of training her sword skills. Along the way, she meets with many different characters, some of whom join her on her way; additionally, she later learns of her true fate of being the sole heir of the Caelin throne, and vows to defeat Lord Hausen's brother of Lundgren, who plans on taking the throne for himself. Lyn's eleven chapters primarily serve as a tutorial to new players, and her mode also had the unique feature in that it was the first time in the ''Fire Emblem'' series where characters can lose all their HP, but still be playable later in the game.

Lyn later returns for both Eliwood's and Hector's stories; initially driven out of Castle Caelin by the Laus Army, she is assisted by Eliwood and Hector to regain the castle, and she later continues to travel with them, with plans to destroy the Black Fang and their leader's, Nergal, plans to bring dragons back to life.

In both ''Smash Bros.'' games, her attack as an Assist Trophy is a mix of her critical attack and her normal attack as a Lord before she is promoted in ''Fire Emblem''. Unlike the playable ''Fire Emblem'' characters who fight with their legendary weapons (with the exception of [[Robin]]), Lyn wields the Mani Katti, not her more powerful quasi-legendary weapon, the Sol Katti. However, the Mani Katti is the partner blade of Sol Katti, both of which are unique to Lyn.

*Interestingly, Lyn is one of only three Assist Trophies in the ''Brawl'', alongside [[Dr. Wright]] and [[Mr. Resetti]], whose actual [[trophy]] is different from her artwork on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]].

*There is a glitch on [[Shadow Moses Island]] that causes Lyn to become stuck when summoned should someone summon her while a pillar is being repaired below them.
