Lucina: Difference between revisions

Lucina is Chrom's daughter from the future. She travels back to the current timeline in ''Fire Emblem: Awakening'' due to [[fireemblemwiki:Grima (character)|Grima]] bringing her own world to ruin. Desperate to reverse this event, she and other future children of the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Shepherds}} travel back in time to make the future a better place. She initially hides her identity by tying her hair back and wearing a mask given to her by one of the other future children. During this time, she takes on the identity of "[[Marth]]", and often runs into Chrom and the Shepherds, saving {{s|fireemblemwiki|Lissa}} on one occasion and fighting Chrom in {{s|fireemblemwiki|Arena Ferox}} in another, but she does not reveal herself until Chrom's curiosity persists and he learns that she is indeed his daughter from a different timeline, proven by possessing the same Naga Brand on her left eye as his newborn daughter. They share a heartwarming reunion and she decides to fight onward with the Shepherds as Lucina, the "name that reminds (her) of the strength of the man and woman who chose it".

In game, she is the second playable character that starts with the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Lord}} class by default (inheriting this class from Chrom), and is the only future child whose recruitment is required. As she is pivotal to the story, she is one of the few units that will not be permanently lost, even in classic mode. Like Chrom, she also wields the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Falchion}} as her default weapon (which has unlimited durability, unlike the various items Robin must use in ''Fire Emblem: Awakening'' and ''Super Smash Bros. 4''), but her version of the famed sword (named Parallel Falchion to distinguish between Chrom's) is more powerful and starts off being able to deal bonus damage to Grima, along with the ability to heal her when it is used like an item, whereas Chrom's Falchion must be upgraded before the final battle to do both.
