Ethlyn

"Yeah, but I heard you only had a few soldiers in Chalphy. And I know you, Siglud. You are always jumping into this kind of stuff without thinking. Especially with Father being away... I knew I had to come."

- Ethlin, to Siglud

Ethlin (エスリン, Esurin?) is a Troubadour in Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. She is Siglud's younger sister, the wife of Prince Cuan of Lenster, the mother of Altenna and Leaf, and Celice's aunt. Despite being the younger sibling, she became Siglud's parent figure after the death of their mother. Her sister-in-law Diadora gives her the Light Sword, which she can pass onto her son Leaf.

Ethlin is killed alongside Cuan while protecting her daughter Altenna during Trabant's ambush in Chapter 5. Cuan is killed shortly afterwards, and Trabant takes Altenna away.

According to unofficial manga, Ethlin was born in Gran 739. She stands 164 centimeters, weighs 47.1 kilograms, and her blood type is A.

Overall
Ethlin, unlike her brother Siglud, is not a good fighter. Her main purpose is healing, but her terrible magic growth means she isn't more than decent at that. Remember to get her the Rescue Staff in Chapter 1 from Adean, and the Light Sword from Diadora in Chapter 2, and sell any staffs she has before the end of Chapter 3, since Leaf can't inherit them.

Conversations
In the Prologue, Ethlin can talk to Siglud, but nothing will result of it.

In Chapter 1, if Adean talks to Ethlin, Ethlin will receive the Return Staff.

In Chapter 2, if Diadora talks to Ethlin, Ethlin will receive the Light Sword.

In Chapter 3, if Ethlin talks to Cuan, Cuan will receive the Gae Bolg.

Love
Ethlin comes in love with Cuan in the Prologue.
