Robin

"Did you never stop to wonder if it was some kind of trap?"

- Avatar talking to Chrom.

The Avatar (マイユニット Mai unitto, My Unit in the Japanese version), default name Robin (ルフレ Rufure in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Awakening and the other main hero/heroine of the game; his/her identity is crafted by the player.

Profile
At the beginning of the game, the Avatar is lying unconscious on the roadside, when he/she is rescued by Chrom's Shepherds. Despite losing his/her memory, the Avatar has great knowledge of fighting battles and serves as the vigilantes' tactician.

It is eventually revealed that the Avatar is the child of Validar, having been bred as a vessel for Grima. His/her mother, a former member of the cult devoted to Grima, the Grimleal, smuggled themselves out of Plegia and raised the Avatar separately from Validar and the cult. In the original timeline, the Avatar is possessed by Grima after he/she and Chrom defeat Validar, and he/she kills Chrom. When Lucina attempts to escape to the past, Grima follows her to the past in the future Avatar's body, causing his/her memories to collide with the present Avatar's memories, giving the Avatar amnesia.

At the end of Another Story 9: Red vs. Blue (Decisive Battle), Lyn thinks that Avatar is the Tactician from her previous adventures. After learning of the Avatar's amnesia, she asks if he/she has any memories of their time together. If the player answers "no," Lyn will express slight disappointment but will request to join anyway to see for herself. If the player answers "yes," then she will join, saying she is happy that they have been reunited.
