"COME FORTH, LIGHT OF JUSTICE!"

Lucina (ルキナ Rukina) is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Awakening.

According to the official Japanese website, she is voiced by Yū Kobayashi. She is voiced by Laura Bailey in the English version.

Profile
Lucina is the daughter of Chrom from the future and has the mark of Naga, known as the Mark of the Exalt, on her left eye. She is a kind princess with a strong sense of justice, who believes that saving the world is her mission. She loves her father dearly and is always worrying over him. The Parallel Falchion, was originally thought to be a separate weapon from Chrom's Falchion, but later revealed to be a version of the same weapon brought back from the future. Her birthday is April 20th. Depending upon who Chrom marries, Lucina can be the sister of Cynthia, Kjelle, Morgan, Brady, or Inigo or be an only child. She is also Owain's cousin. She is a potential mother of Morgan. She's the least likely to get a joke.

After Chrom's death at the hands of the Grima-possessed Avatar, Lucina inherited the Falchion and attempted to fight Grima alongside the other children, though they were all heavily outmatched. In time, Lucina and the other children, in an attempt to prevent this future from passing, were guided by Naga through the Outrealm Gate to a time before the war, Chrom's death, and Grima's resurrection. She donned a mask she received from Gerome to hide the mark of Naga and traveled to the past, though was followed by Grima, attempting to stop her..

She appears before Chrom and Lissa and rescues them when the Outrealm Gate opens sending in Risen to attack them. She introduces herself as Marth and then promptly leaves. Later, during the tournament at Arena Ferox Lucina defeats Basilio's original champion, Lon'qu, thus becoming his new champion for the tournament. Chrom defeats her in the torunament and once again, leaves, but warns them of the dangerous times ahead. After the Shepherds rescue Maribelle, Plegia plans an assassination on Emmeryn. Lucina appears before the attempt and earns Chrom's trust by killing an assassin near by trying to kill him, however a second assassin appears and slices her mask off. Lucina fights with Chrom during the asassination lead by Validar and successfully protects Emmeryn. Believing to have altered the future, Lucina leaves. However after Emmeryn's sacrifice, Lucina realizes that the future has yet to change.

Two years after Gangrel's defeat by the hand of Chrom, Lucina is born to Chrom and his wife.

After talking to the new king of Plegia, Validar, Chrom and the Avatar prepare to depart the next day. That night a group of Risen attack Chrom's army. One manages to get close to Chrom but Lucina steps in and protects her father. Chrom is still curious as to who she is, but Lucina tells her father to merely look into her eye. As Chrom looks closely, he notices the Mark of the Exhalt, and realizes it's the same mark as his newborn child. Lucina tearfully hugs her father, finally and truly reunited. After, Chrom brings Lucina to her mother and the two also share a tender reunion.

After liberating the Steinger Fortress, Chrom receives alarming news that the forces up to the north were crushed by Walhart's forces. When Basilio volunteers to stall their army, Lucina steps in to try and stop him since, in her timeline, Basilio perished when he went. Nevertheless Basilio's resolve is stronger than Lucina's warning, though Flavia decides to go. Soon after, word arrives that despite the different events, Basilio was slain yet again. Knowing of his sacrifice, Chrom's army finally take down Walhart's forces, once and for all.

After preventing Walhart's Conquest, Validar sends a message to Chrom so he can give the final gemstone for the Fire Emblem. Upon reaching Plegia's castle, Validar betrays the group and tries to seize the Fire Emblem from Chrom, causing them to flee. Chrom, the Avatar, and Lucina nearly make it out of the castle, but Validar warps in and weakens Chrom. Validar orders the Avatar to seize the Fire Emblem and the Avatar does against their will. After seeing the event unfold, Lucina realizes that the Avatar was the one who murdered Chrom, despite that act was against their will. Lucina reluctantly decides to kill the Avatar to prevent this. However as she is about to kill the Avatar, Chrom, who watching the scene unfold steps in and stops her. Lucina does her best to convince her father that killing the Avatar is for the greater good, but Chrom places his trust in the Avatar, and Lucina puts her faith in their bond to overcome what lies in the future. Alternatively, if Lucina is married to the male Avatar and he accepts her judgement, she will not go through with it after he tells her to find someone to keep her happy when he's gone. In addition, if your female and married to Chrom, and select yes to receive her judgement, she'll still say she can't because she loves you too much.

Personality
Lucina is a strongwilled woman who is determined to change the dark future that is yet to come. Seeing death and despair constantly in her own time, she dislikes the idea of any form of death among her allies, even "noble" ones, and will struggle to prevent it at nearly any cost.

During support conversations, it is revealed that she constantly dreams for a world where everything is "normal" and peaceful. Despite her mature appearance, she secretly has a more childish personality that appears when she talks with her parents. This personality stems from her wish to spend some "family time" with her parents while they are alive.

Etymology
Lucina may be named after the Roman Goddess of childbirth. In ancient Roman religion and myth, Lucina was the goddess of childbirth who safeguarded the lives of women in labor. Lucina was also an epithet for Juno. The name was generally taken to mean "she who brings children into the light" (Latin: lux, lucis, "light"), which may relate to how she revealed the existence of the other children from the future.

Trivia

 * Lucina was voted the most popular female character in the Fire Emblem: Awakening Character Popularity Poll in Japan.
 * Lucina's birthday is the same day that Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi was first released in Japan.
 * Despite being a woman, Lucina's appearance is very similar to Marth's. When the group meets Tiki for the first time, she mistakens Lucina for "Mar-Mar" before being corrected.
