Owain (ウード Ūdo, Eudes in the Japanese version) is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Awakening. He is the son of Lissa from the future if she marries another character, the nephew of Emmeryn and Chrom and cousin of Lucina. If Lissa marries a male Avatar, then Morgan will be Owain's sister, otherwise he will be an only child. If Chrom marries a female Avatar, then Morgan will be his cousin. He can also potentially be the cousin of Brady, Inigo, Cynthia, or Kjelle. His birthday is July 15th.

In the English version he is voiced by Kaiji Tang.

Profile
Owain has a habit of speaking in an overly theatrical fashion that some people find tiresome to deal with. He is somewhat preoccupied with the idea of being a hero and seeks the fabled sword the Missiletainn in his quest. Lucina describes him as a "colorful" character. He is always eager to fight others, stating that his sword hand seeks to battle, even to the point of telling his father to stay away from him in their support. Owain's supports reveal that he is a bit of a writer, and always tries to write other characters into his stories the way he sees fit to do it. He also has the habit of giving odd names to weapons and moves, the names of which are all references to past Fire Emblem games. He is quite proud of his heroic lineage and bears the Mark of the Exhalt on his arm, proving that he and Lissa are of Ylissean Royalty bloodline. He also wears his mother's ring, one of two mementos he holds from her. He is the most hot-blooded member of the army. He is part of the Justice Cabal along with Cynthia and Morgan.

In his paralogue a Sage Village is attacked by bandits. Owain steps in and attempts to quell the bandits. He successfully manages to take one down, but messes up trying to deal with another. Chrom and his army are standing off to side watching Owain's theatrics and decides to help him out. Upon meeting his mother on the battlefield Owain drops his dramatic speech style, happy to be reunited with her and happily teams up with Chrom's army. After the battle, Lissa notices that his arm bears the Mark of the Exalt. Lissa is relieved to know that she is true Ylissean royalty since the Mark of the Exalt appears on those of that lineage, even though her's never surfaced. Owain promises to protect Lissa as he joins Chrom's army.

Whenever talking to most people, Owain's "arm" becomes erratic and violent, however this does not surface when talking to his mother. In his supports with Lissa, he's curious to know about his mother's staff's name and is shocked to find out she has no name for it. In one of his Event Tile conversations with his mother, it's revealed that he carries a piece of a staff which he calls "Lissa." This was a piece of the staff that Lissa was using when she was killed. It's his greatest treasure. In the end of their support, Lissa decides to name her staff "Owain," which makes Owain uncomfortable, but instead Owain vows to protect her, overjoying Lissa. In his supports with his father, he seeks to challenge his father, though it irks him. In their B-Support they are ambushed by enemy archers and his father is wounded while protecting Owain, which causes Owain to have a flashback to his past. In the future, Owain's father protected Owain from a Risen archer, and was killed in the process, causing Owain to feel guilty for causing his death.
