- Sumia saving Chrom's life in Chapter 3

Sumia (スミア, Sumia, translated Smia in the Japanese version) is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Awakening. She is the mother of Cynthia, and can be a potential mother of Lucina and Morgan. Her birthday is November 24.

According to the official Japanese website, she is voiced by Ayano Yamamoto. She is voiced by Danielle Judovits in the English version.

Profile
She is a member of Chrom's Shepherds, and has the ability to understand the feelings of animals, she uses this ability to befriend and heal an injured pegasus. She is a klutz and feels she is not up to her job because of it, but has a hidden strength that most people lack. She is friends with fellow Pegasus Knight Cordelia, who aids her when she is in trouble. She falls over for no reason more than anyone else in the army. She loves to read as she sees books as an escape from her klutzy real life and she enjoys recommending her favorite stories to The Avatar. One of her favorite stories is called "Ribald Tales of the Faith War".

Overall
Sumia, being the first aerial unit recruited, can be of very useful utility early on. She can be paired up with a unit of lesser movement, like Chrom or the Avatar, and bring them to their needed destination; she also gives large bonuses in skill and speed. In terms of her stats, she gains skill, HP, and speed quickly, with her other stats tagging along. Pairing her up with either the Avatar or Chrom can highlight her potential, as she can allow them to double and finish off opponents. She also gets a small increase in firepower, as she does not have high strength nor magic ratings. However, keep in mind that there are other aerial units later in the game, like Cordelia and Cherche. Sumia is also fragile, especially to bow users, which can be a pain when trying to carry a unit. Despite these flaws, Sumia is not a unit to be overlooked. Note that she has a child in Cynthia, so a marriage support is a good idea.
