Profile[]
The Blazing Blade[]
In a support conversation with Eliwood, Hector describes a dream he had recently of an older, bearded man conversing with a young blue-haired girl. Eliwood believes that Hector was having a glimpse of his future self, much to Hector's frustration.
With the passing of his brother Uther, Hector ascends to the role Marquess of Ostia. Shortly before his coronation, he summons Mark at the end of his tale, announcing that he and his wife want Mark to be their future child's godparent. Having decided that he will have a son named after his brother, he forgoes the thought of having a daughter. Hector's wife, who can be either Lyn, Florina, Farina, or another unnamed woman, asks for a girls name just in case they have one. As fate would have it, Hector would be blessed with a daughter, who he named Lilina as Mark had suggested.
Around a decade after the events of The Blazing Blade, Eliwood travels to Ostia to speak with Hector about the recent unrest in Bern regarding the attempted assassination of prince Zephiel. Lilina would meet Lord Eliwood for the first time and also become acquainted with his son Roy whom Eliwood had brought along. Though shy at first, the two strike up an immediate friendship and go off to play while their fathers continue to discuss the discord in Bern.
Years later, she and Roy studied in Ostia under the tutelage of the Mage General Cecilia. Lilina showed great aptitude in magic and was primarily trained to be a Mage while Roy was focused in swordplay. As the children of close friends—and, in some outcomes, cousins, depending on their fathers’ marriages—they spent much of their youth together under Cecilia’s guidance. Over time, Lilina grew fond of Roy, and the idea of one day marrying him, potentially blossoming into love or a deep friendship, depending on the events in The Binding Blade.
The Binding Blade[]
During a break on her studies, Lilina was visiting Pherae, the territory ruled by Eliwood. Roy, who stayed in Ostia is suddenly called home by his sickly father. Upon arriving in Pherae, he finds that his home was being attacked by bandits. He manages to defeat them, rescuing his father and Lilina, who were barricaded in the Castle. Lilina was eager to help the fight, but was forbidden by Eliwood, who wanted her to return safe to Ostia, as a rebellion was going to break in the capital under Bern's attack, that wanted to conquer the nation of Lycia.
After sending her knight, Bors, to Roy's service, Lilina hurries back home to Ostia. Unfortunately, after the death of Marquess Hector, some of the Ostian soldiers turn renegade and she is captured and locked inside of a room in her own castle. When Roy arrives to rescue her, the enemy General plans to kill Lilina, and attempt to pass it off as an unfortunate consequence of the upcoming war. If he is unsuccessful in his attempt of assassination, Lilina is rescued and joins Roy's army, along Ostian soldiers and knights that swore loyalty to her: Bors, Ogier, Gwendolyn, Astolfo and Barthe.
Despite being daughter of Hector and successor of Ostia, she trusts her soldiers under Roy's command, making an alliance, strengthening the army in an unified group and further making Pherae the new great power in Lycia instead of Ostia. After being devastated when learning of her father's death, she leads Roy to a secret cave where they obtain one of the Divine Weapons: Durandal, the Blazing Sword.
As the journey advances, once the army arrives in the Western Isles, they need to face bandits who are exploiting the islanders for mining. One of the mercenaries, Gonzalez is ordered to burn down a village, suspected of being the base of a rebel faction. However, Lilina notices his sad and reluctant expression, and realizes that he can be reasoned with. Gonzalez attempts to get Lilina to have the villagers evacuate, so he can complete his orders without harming anyone, but Lilina sways him over to her side, with the promise of being accepted and no longer needing to harm innocent people to survive.
In a similar fashion, Lilina recruits Garret, a reluctant mercenary fighting for Bern, to the Lycian army. She convinces him to join the army with the promise of ending the war, and living in a future in which he wouldn't need to fight for money anymore.
Epilogue[]
Once the war is over, if Lilina survived, she succeeds her father, becoming the new marquess of Ostia and eventually becomes the first queen of Lycia after leading an unified alliance. Lilina is one of Roy's possible love interests, and if they have an A level support, they'll get a paired ending in which they marry. They'll also get a cutscene in the ending where Roy promises to come get her after things have settled down. However, Lilina is also capable of moving on from those feelings, as seen in her other A-level supports, finding companionship with her loyal knight Ogier, or choosing to stay with Gonzalez, expressing a heartfelt desire to remain at his side instead.
If Lilina is killed in battle, Roy becomes the new leader and marquess of the entire Lycian League instead, with Pherae as the new greatest power in Lycia, as it was decided in that way after Hector's death.
Personality[]
Lilina is outgoing and cheerful, often abandoning social obligations between nobility and commoners, deconstructing the knight's desire to maintain their relationship formal due to their different status, such as wanting to call Gwendolyn her friend. Even though Lilina was trained in battle magic, honing her natural skills in the arcane arts for the purpose of warfare, she harbored a deep dislike for combat and conflict, often seeking ways to avoid battle whenever possible. She can be childish at times, idealistic, and even naïve to a fault. She is a sensitive soul as she cries easily, especially if she feel she has hurt someone's feelings or dredged up painful memories.
Lilina's biggest shining quality is her compassion and indiscriminate blind trust in others. She is an excellent judge of character and prefers to draw conclusions herself from her own observations. This allowed her to bond with Gonzalez who was scorned by others simply for his appearance alone, while she saw the sadness in his eyes when they first met and later continued to bond with him due to his heart of gold. Though she often questions if she is a worthy successor to her father, her kindness has won the support of countless knights of Ostia and the Lycian League, many who endorsed her eventual succession as leader of the Lycian League. By interacting with them and her knights, she starts to understand in first hand the harsh reality of the common people, a reality that she was unaware due to being rather sheltered and naïve, finding in them a reason to fight, and a motivation to become a fair ruler.
While she is far different than her father was he was a brash youth, she inherited many of Hector's greatest qualities including her stalwart resolve and has a bit of a stubborn streak. She loves her father dearly and was nothing short of an obedient, yet loving daughter to him. Having ensured that she was raised to succeed him, Lilina found the strength to immediately fight on in wake of his death, putting her sadness on the side for the greater purpose of ending the war and preventing further tragedies. Despite her self-doubt, Lilina perserveres to honor her father's legacy above all others. Curiously, in her conversation with Ogier, she reveals the wish that she had a little sister, instead of being an only child.
Lilina notably has a subtle childhood crush on Roy and the two have conversed of their warmer days of youth training under Cecilia. It is because of Roy's presence that Lilina is able to deal with her father's death a little easier, though she keeps this to herself. In several support conversations with other people, Lilina often brings Roy up such as with Cecilia, Gonzales, and Bors. She worries that Roy has left her behind and has changed after he began leading their army, feeling eager to be useful in the ranks too. However, many such as Marcus and Bors tell her that he has not changed all that much and she should earnestly pursue him if she truly desires it. Determined not to let other girls stand in her way, Lilina resolves to not lose to them. Over time, however, she also develops a subtle, hinted romantic bond with either Gonzales or Ogier as well.
Lilina's expansive personality contrasts with her disposition when she was a young child. A period in which she was shyer and more reserved towards strangers, yet polite and friendly, exemplified by her first meeting with Eliwood and Roy. However, she excitedly went off to play with Roy after the two bonded rather quickly.

Lilina boasts a very high Magic growth, being possibly the only unit in the game that is likely to cap the stat. Despite this, she joins at a low level and facing competition for the Chapter 8 Guiding Ring, with the next one appearing in Chapter 14. Lugh, who joins earlier, has similarly low bases with a higher emphasis on Speed and more time for investment. One thing to note is that she has a fast support growth with Roy which grants her important +3 Attack and +15 Accuracy/Critical bonuses. This gives her a niche wielding Bolting tomes later in the game thanks to her high damage output and the possibility of doubling some of the slower enemies thanks to its relatively lower weight in this game. In all, Lilina is a growth unit who joins under-levelled with low base stats at a time when many units should be around Level 10+. She also takes time and effort to train due to her frailty. However, the gaiden chapter unlocked by her recruitment and survival makes it very easy to get her on par with the rest of the army.

Base Set[]
Lilina performs similar to her original The Binding Blade incarnation with an impressively high base Atk stat of 37 with a neutral IV on it, allowing her to launch powerful attacks. Unfortunately, she lacks the speed needed to double attack enemies, forcing her to rely on one singularly powerful attack. She does have a respectable Res stat as well, letting her duel mages, but her Def leaves her vulnerable to physical assaults. Though she started without a preferred weapon, when she finally obtained her unique weapon, Lilina became one of the strongest nuke characters in the game, a playstyle that nearly all of her future versions would retain.
Her starting tome was Bolganone, which fit naturally with her high base Atk to launch a single powerful 50 base Atk. Lilina was blessed to later on receive a new Legendary Weapon in the form of Forblaze a new powerful tome with a Chill Resistance effect, allowing her to better dispatch high Res threats. It also came with a Refine, giving her a Death Blow 3 effect, making her initiations even more powerful and can stack on an inherited Death Blow, leading to even higher nuking potential.
Growing Flame was a decently powerful AOE special that let her damage enemies with unresisted damage to enemies around her target when the skill activated. Attack +3 gave her a flat 3 damage boost to her Attack, but it lacks long-term viability. Spur Attack is a decent supporting Skill C, but other skills are better suited for Lilina.
Counters[]
Lilina's Spd and Def create her biggest weakness. She cannot survive any form of physical assaults aside from a few Green units. Great Blue mages like Delthea, Lute, and Micaiah easily survive her attacks and deal with her easily while Reinhardt can plow through her with Dire Thunder. Distant Counter weapon users like Fjorm, Camus, and Fallen Hardin also easily take her attacks and retaliate. Lastly, certain red units can deal with her if she is unable to finish them. Both forms of Tharja, Ryoma and Young Tiki are good Red units that can duel her and defeat her if she is unable to take care of them. If using an AOE Lilina, Vantage users who can counterattack can use the non-lethal damage limitation of her Special to enter the skill's damage range before demolishing her.
Skill Inheritance Options[]
Lilina is best built to be a Player Turn character. Given that Forblaze has Death Blow built into it, she can also run Death Blow in her Skill A slot, granting her a +14 Atk (12 if only using Death Blow 3) when she initiates, bringing her lowest possible Atk with a bane to 62 Atk on initiation and 68 with a Boon. Furthermore, adding a Death Blow seal adds an additional 6 Atk, meaning that an unmerged, no dragonflower Atk boon Lilina without any external visible buffs and in-combat buffs can achieve an astounding 74 Atk on initiation. Her high Atk stat makes her an excellent candidate for Draconic Aura as it scales with her impressive Attack, though Iceberg also works if working with a Res Boon Lilina. Some suggest taking an area of effect special such as Rising Flame to apply splash damage that is unaffected by color and can easily bring enemies down to 1 HP with the large difference between her potential Atk and her enemy's Res. Lilina's Spd problems are best dealt with by running Swordbreaker or R Tomebreaker as it at least allows her to better combat units of her own color type. Lull Attack Resistance negates enemy visible buffs mainly to their Res and lowers them while simultaneously increasing her own Atk/Res. Her Skill C can be a plethora of supportive skills that help her allies. If able to secure a premium unit with Odd Attack Wave or Even Attack Wave, she can self-buff herself with +6 Atk on Odd/Even turns respectively, thus bringing her maximum Atk to 74 when initiating. She is a decent candidate for Ploy skills given her good Res so that option is also available.

Valentines Lilina existed in an unsaturated weapon/unit type combination pool and when compared to her counterparts, she stood out having slightly better offense than Cecilia but not quite the potent force of some later units introduced after her. She can easily fill a role given to her for a Cavalry team, giving her excellent flexibility, but other units have been introduced since and can specialize for specific niches.
Green Gift neutralizes enemy bonuses if they use ranged weapons, making her an excellent check for common bladetome users who rely on buffs. Blazing Flame is an area of effect special that causes damage equal to 1.5x the different between Valentines Lilina's Atk and the foe's Res. With her modest Atk, she can deal decent splash with it. HP/Atk 2 gives her a flat HP +4 and Atk +2 increase which are good short term increases, but better replaced. Attack Tactic grants a +6 Atk buff to allies on within two spaces of Valentines Lilina if there are no more than two allies who are of the same movement type. This is useful for mixed teams, but not for pure Cavalry Teams.
Counters[]
Valentines Lilina's defenses are both low, especially her Def. With a plethora of Red physical units to choose from, Valentines Lilina is utterly helpless against any Red unit who can get to her. While her Res is slightly stronger, common red mages like Sanaki, Katarina, Tharja and ironically her own original form can easily defeat her. Certain strong Green Mages can combat her easily, though if she is maintaining her Green Gift, she can depower some of them like Nino. Anti-Cavalry weapons are another new weakness including Gray, his Zanbato, Summer Micaiah, and Rhajat.
Skill Inheritance[]
Valentines Lilina can be turned into a Gronnblade user as her stats are strong enough to give it decent power behind and with Cavalry boosts, she can unleash devastating attacks. Fury and Desperation are the standard skills taken to boost her stats and give immediate follow-up attacks respectively. Moonbow ignores parts of her foe's Res and charges quickly while Glimmer is powered by buffs she receives. A Cavalry skill of some form is recommended for her as she is at her strongest on an enemy team. Finally Reposition is always a solid choice for a Cavalry unit.

Summer Lilina is a player phase unit, although she has decent resistance. It can be used to quickly eliminate enemy units or at least weaken them so that other units can finish them off. Her Broadleaf Fan is useful to increase her Attack, based on the stat penalties that the opponent currently has.
Counters[]
She falls easily against units that can attack her from safety, specially Flying Beasts or Melee Cavalry that is supported by Dancers or Assist moves like Smite.
Skill Inheritance[]
As a Player Phase unit, Summer Lilina is best built with skills that power her Atk/Res. Lethality is her best special skill for a dagger unit, allowing her to ignore damage reductions, most likely to OHKO opponents easily. Flared Mirror is her best A skill since it applies pre-combat damage to opponents and improve her attack and resistance if she initiates the attack. Assassin's Strike is one of her best B skills to increase her pre-combat damage. Lull Attack Defense is another good skill to null opponent's Attack and Defense stat boosts to improve her damage. Incite Attack Resistance is her best C skill since as a cavalry unit that can move most spaces, this skill can boost her combat Attack and Resistance stats depending of the number of spaces she moves.

Base Set[]
Legendary Lilina is a Pair Up blessed Fire Legendary Hero who is also a Red Tome Cavalry unit. She retains many of her base form's strengths, namely an incredible 42 Atk and high magical bulk scoring at 79. She does trade off these for a low 21 Spd and pitiful 16 Def, but her exceptionally explosive yield makes her a terrifying mage nuke unit.
Studied Forblaze accelerates her Special trigger and on Turn 1, has a Quickened Pulse effect. If she initiates combat over 25% of her maximum HP, she gains Atk/Res +6 and negates any skill that changes attack priority like Vantage, which is valuable in particular in Aether Raids.
Gifted Magic is her unique Area of Effect special that can damage up to five foes in the shape of a "+" with her target at the center of the area of effect, dealing 0.8x her damage when comparing her Atk against Res of foe(s) in the effect. In tandem with her Tome, Legendary Lilina effectively has her attack immediately ready on the Turn 1 and can keep it constantly charged to incinerate the competition.
Attack Resistance Solo perfectly compliments her two strongest stats by boosting her Atk and Res by 7 if she is not adjacent to an ally. Sabotage Resistance allows her to inflict a massive Res-7 to any foe who has three less Res than her and is adjacent to their allied units. Pulse Smoke inflicts a Special Charge onto foes within two spaces of her at the start of her turn, slowing down their damage output and allowing her more room to nuke units safely before retaliation.
Counters[]
Unless she is protected by an Armor ally with Near Save against Melee units or Attack Defense Far Save against bow units, Legendary Lilina will easily fall to a physical unit who can aggressively attack her first or somehow survives being attack. She can bait certain mages, namely Green Tome units and some Red, but she struggles against high Res Blue tome units like Marianne and Guinivere. Guard is also an extremely detrimental skill to Legendary Lilina as it slows down her Gifted Magic charges.
Skill Inheritance[]
Legendary Lilina's only empty skill slot is her Assist Skill, which Reposition is an excellent choice due to the utility it provides. Her remaining kit has tons of replacement options like Iceberg for more flat damage, though giving her a Quickened Pulse seal is necessary to have it fully charged on the first turn. Lull Attack Resistance gives her foes an Atk/Res-3 and neutralizes any visible buffs on those two stats. Skill C is flexible as she can maintain her Pulse Smoke or take other supportive options like Hone Cavalry/Ward Cavalry to assist cavalry allies. Resistance Smoke also further inflicts Res penalties to further increase her damage overall.

Base Set[]
Bride Lilina is a Blue Tome version of her legendary counterpart, although with some different skills. She is primarily a Player Phase unit that excels in Attack and Resistance, but with the lowest defense. Her True-Love Roses grants the Quickened Pulse effect, favoring her Special Skill and further improves her Attack and Resistance during combat. She is the first unit that comes with Still Water, a skill that works similarly to Life and Death and Solid Ground. It increases her base Attack and Resistance, but lowers her base Defense. Her Attack Resistance Far Trace 3 allows her to use Canto and thus, she can escape or not depending of the spaces that she moves. Her Joint Distant Guard improves nearby allies' Defense and Resistance. With her full Dragonflowers, most of Mage units that don't have Flare skill will struggle to damage Bride Lilina and they will likely fall against her.
Counters[]
Unless she is protected by an Armor ally with Near Save against Melee units or Attack Defense Far Save against bow units, her Still Water makes her defenses the lowest and this means that she is easily defeated in one hit by any Melee unit that can attack her from safety or any Bow unit, specially Cavalry ones that initiate the attack like Duo Groom Roy and notable Flying Beasts like Tibarn. As a Cavalry unit, she can't trasverse Mountains and Forests and struggles on moving across trenches, making her an easy target for Melee Flying units. Not to mention that any variation of Chrom with To Change Fate! Assist skill is notably the best counter against her. Embla can null any Near Save or Far Save that is protecting her in that moment to easily defeat her.
Skill Inheritance[]
To start, Reposition is the best Assist skill for her in case of saving allies from enemy mage units. If the player plans to use Bride Lilina with her AoE Gifted Magic special skill, Crystalline Water is an upgraded version of her Still Water that can be obtained from Fallen Veyle, with the additional effect of nulling any penalties to her Attack and Resistance. Otherwise, if the player plans to use any normal damage special skill like Moonbow, Glimmer, Iceberg or Ruptured Sky, the player can replace her Still Water A skill with Flared Mirror, in order to cause pre-combat damage and improve her attack and resistance in combat. Occultist's Strike is a good choice for her B skill to increase her pre-combat damage. Lull Attack Resistance is a cheaper but good skill that nulls the opponent's attack and resistance boosts. Other option is upgrading her Attack Resistance Far Trace with the 4th version that can be obtained from Rearmed Reinhardt, improving her Canto. Incite Attack Resistance is her best C Skill that she can get due to improving Attack and Resistance proportionally to the number of spaces she moves before each combat. This can be obtained from Duo Valentine Lyon.

The only other Anima-user who might not have a magic-using parent is Cecilia, whose father is either a Paladin or a Hero, but we don't know anything about her mother.
- Even when considering player's options in The Blazing Blade, her named options for a mother, Lyn, Florina, and Farina, are not magic-using mothers.
- Lilina shares her English voice actor, Julie Kliewer/Maddalena, with Sharena and Florina in Fire Emblem Heroes.
