Elincia

"I will be strong, Lucia..."

- Elincia, after she decided to sacrifice Lucia for the sake of Crimea.

Elincia (エリンシア, Erinshia), full name Elincia Ridell Crimea, is the Princess of Crimea and only known remaining member of the Crimean royal bloodline in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, and serves as Crimea's queen in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

Personality
As she was not raised in court life, Elincia is not exactly your typical Princess. She learned a manner of things at the Villa where she was raised. She was not accustomed to commoners. She seems to have a habit (in the first game) of calling many people "lord" to the point that it can become a little annoying to the player, in particular when they have nothing to do with royalty or nobility (like Rhys for example), but as she will be Queen one day she was probably raised to do as such. She is very loyal to Crimea as its ruler, especially noted when Lucia's life was in danger in Radiant Dawn. She also doubts her ability to rule her country in both games, though with Ike's reassurance in the first game she finally greets her people.

Path of Radiance
Elinca employs the Greil Mercenaries for the greater part of this game. Without the power inherent in her station due to being displaced by Ashnard's invasion, she is forced to rely on the aid of others in order to take her proper place as the rightful ruler of Crimea. Due to the fear of political fallout that might have occurred if her existence were made public, she was raised in secrecy from birth; only the high ranking nobles of each nation and a select few Crimeans were made aware of her existence. Until the Daein invasion, she spent her life at a villa in the countryside. She also became very close friends with her milk siblings, Lucia and Geoffrey, who grew up along with her.

However, because Elincia was raised in such seclusion, she has very little knowledge of the outside world. Before meeting the Greil Mercenaries, she had never set foot in a Crimean village, nor had she any opportunity to interact with Crimean peasants. After being rescued by Ike and the mercenaries, she employs them to escort her to Gallia. After Greil is slain, she agrees with Ike's decision to fight back against Daein to restore Crimea's independence, and they accompany each other for the rest of the journey. Later in the game, Elincia gains use of a sword, armor, and a pegasus that once belonged to her great-grandmother and enters battle, serving primarily as a flying Healer. Elincia is voiced by Juri Takita (Japanese) and by Erica Evans (English).

Radiant Dawn
Elincia, now the rightful queen of Crimea in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, begins to face rebellion in her country. Crimea is still in recession from Daein’s former invasion, and Elincia drives herself exhaustively to help her kingdom recover, but it isn’t enough. The nobles lying beneath her have plans to usurp her from the throne, conflict arising between them and Elincia’s most trusted retainers, notably Lucia, with whom she has grown up and sought out as a sister. When Lucia is captured by Ludveck and held for execution, Elincia is unexpectedly aided by the Greil Mercenaries (Due to Bastian) once again, who help to overturn the unrest in Crimea. After the final battle against Ashera, Queen Elincia returns home to Crimea where she leads her nation into a golden age of peace and prosperity. If she has an A grade support with Geoffrey, the two will wed.
