Lyn (リン, Lin), whose full name is "Lyndis", is a character from the Fire Emblem series, specifically Fire Emblem. 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.

Character description

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 Black Fang, she's 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 Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As an Assist Trophy

In Brawl, Lyn appears as an Assist Trophy. She charges her sword, and then teleports near an enemy, slashing them. This is a mix of her critical attack and her normal attack as a Lord before she is promoted in Fire Emblem. This attack is amazingly powerful and accurate, even against a moving or airborne foe as well as being capable of hitting Sonic out of his Final Smash. It can also hit an enemy that is edge grabbing. Her attack can KO at damages as low as 32%, and can only be avoided with a well timed airdodge or roll. She usually hits the opponent closest to her.

In this appearance, Lyn wields the Mani Katti, not her more powerful quasi-legendary Weapon, the Sol Katti. In comparison, the playable Fire Emblem characters (Marth, Roy and Ike), who fight with their legendary weapons (the Falchion, the Sword of Seals, and Ragnell, respectively). However, the Mani Katti is the partner blade of Sol Katti, both of which are unique to Lyn.

Trophy Description

An 18-year-old nomadic girl. Lyn is a strong-willed youth whose skill with the blade draws many admirers. Lyn sets out on her quest to become a master swordsman after coming to the aid of a fallen traveler. She soon learns she's a living member of the nobility of Lycia, a neighboring country. Soon she's involved in a violent dispute over the ascension of the Caelin throne.

Trivia

• Interestingly, Lyn is one of only three Assist Trophies in the game whose actual trophy is different from her artwork on the Smash Bros. DOJO!!. Dr. Wright and Mr. Resetti are the others.
• Lyn's NTSC trophy description in Brawl contradicts the English in-game text from Fire Emblem; the trophy describes her as being 15 years of age while the game states her age to be 18. This error is due to different translation teams; in the Japanese version of Fire Emblem, her age was in fact 15. This error was later fixed in the PAL versions of Brawl.
• If Lyn lands in the spot she was summoned, but lands again in a different spot, (like from a breakable block from the Mushroomy Kingdom) she will automatically strike her closest target.
• There is a glitch in Shadow Moses Island that causes Lyn to become stuck when summoned should someone summon her while a pillar is being repaired below the summoning player.
