Lucia

"People of Crimea... Behold a true queen! YOUR queen! Long live Queen Elincia!"

- Lucia's last word before she was to be hanged.

Lucia (ルキノ, Luchino in the Japanese version) is the young Lady descended from Count Delbray's house, and the older sister of Geoffrey. She is Elincia's milk sister and her closest friend from their youth together. She is also often the subject of long rambling love declarations from Bastian who seems to be smitten with her. Constantly challenged by duty and formality Lucia commands the Royal Guards alongside her younger brother Geoffrey and also sets up a clandestine network of spies to monitor activity inside of Crimea.

Personality
Lucia is a very beautiful and attractive woman, thus lots of people yearn her. She is calm, wise, rational, courteous and quite capable person. Lucia is an outstanding swordswoman, she has excellent skills in use the sword. Lucia holds absolute loyalty to Elincia, and will danger her own life for her. She is also noted as a good cook.

In the Path of Radiance Japanese version, you can find out that she smells good. In the Radiant Dawn Japanese version, you can find out that she very much likes to eat sweet things.

Appearance
It is noteworthy that during the courses of both Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, there is never a frame or a screen where both of Lucia's eyes are clearly visible, her blue hair is draped over either side of her face and even her in-game conversation sprite merely reveals one eye depending upon which way she is facing.

In Path of Radiance and for her first appearance in Radiant Dawn before her imprisonment, her hair was very long and straight. After her capture, her hair is short roughly shoulder-length.

Path of Radiance
Lucia first appears in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance's 23rd Chapter as reinforcements representing the last of Crimea's then-current loyal retainers during the Mad King's War at the opposite side of the Great Bridge that the Crimean Liberation Army attempts to cross.

Radiant Dawn


She is playable as the central character in Part 2 of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn involving an infiltration chapter before she is captured by Duke Ludveck's rebels upon confirming her suspicions that the Duke was plotting to overthrow Elincia from dissatisfaction over her transient peaceful rule and pacifistical choices regarding the news over the emancipation of Daein and Prince Pelleas's coronation to King. They eventually intend to execute her in public eye outside of Fort Alpea in order to undermine the young Queen, but she is subsequently rescued by the Greil Mercenaries as they make their return.

After the last battle, if she has a level A support with Bastian, they will begin to have casual affairs but never marry.
