History Characters / FireEmblemTheBlazingBladeTheLords

* BadassFamily: Hector and Eliwood's children will turn the heroes of their own journey and rulers of their countries, mirroring their parents. Lyn can possibly be the mother of their children, if she marries any of them. They also can be in laws if each of them marry one of the pegasus sister, becoming [[BestFriendsInLaw Best friends in Law]]

* {{Gainaxing}}: When wielding the Sol Katti; her animation with the weapon didn't exist in the Japanese version, so you can thank the localization for that.

* RatedMForManly: A no-nonsense, visibly muscular warrior who wields a heavy axe and isn't afraid to die in battle. In ''Heroes'', Creator/PatrickSeitz even gives him a suitably deep, manly voice.

* BattleCouple: Hector's wives fight alonside him in the battlefield.
* BashBrothers: With Eliwood. He becomes this with Lyn later as well.
* BestFriendsInLaw: If Eliwood marries Fiora, and Hector marries either Farina of Florina, who are sisters, they will became in laws. Lyn also can have a paired ending with Florina.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Develops one of these towards Nils.

* DumbMuscle: Averted. He might appear to be this (especially when compared to Eliwood) and might even intentionally play it up to a degree sometimes in order to fool his enemies into letting their guard down. But, he is actually just as well-versed as Eliwood is in the political side of being a noble and is capable of devising and using complex strategies in battle. It's just that his HotBlooded tendencies mean that he rarely takes the time to do so and prefers to let Eliwood handle the situations that require more political savvy.

* TheLancer: In Eliwood's story; also TheBigGuy.

* LightningBruiser: Will most likely become this statistically upon promotion, owing to the rather large speed boost it provides. That said, his actual Movement is very low.

* OverprotectiveDad: Read his and Eli's B support and you'll know why. Taken further in ''Fire Emblem Heroes'', where his Valentine's Day version declares that he won't let anyone take Lilina for a bride. Eliwood lampshades this as well. [[spoiler:Sadly, doesn't prevent his death at Zephiel's hands in ''The Binding Blade''. His last words are a plea for Roy to help Lilina out.]]
-->'''Hector:''' Just so we're clear... I will not, under any circumstances, allow my daughter to get married! She's not gonna be anybody's bride.\\
'''Eliwood:''' It seems Roy and Lilina have become rather close. Hector won't like that...

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Once you look into it, you'll realize he has a lot of similarities to Lex from ''[[Videogame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Genealogy of the Holy War]]''. Blue hair? Check. AnAxeToGrind? Check. HotBlooded? Check. LeeroyJenkins? Check. Vaguely rebellious noble? Check.
* TranquilFury: ''"You see, I'm about as angry as I've ever been."''

* HeroesPreferSwords: All three lords learn how to handle swords at some point in the game. Eliwood and Lyn play this trope straight, having access to swords from the moment they're playable. Hector, however, [[DownplayedTrope downplays]] this, as he can't use swords until he promotes much later in the game; his specialty is [[AnAxeToGrind axes]].

* AnAxeToGrind: Specializes in axes. He is the first Lord to not start with a sword, although he can use them after promotion.

* RoyalRapier: His WeaponOfChoice.

* WeaponOfChoice: The Durandal.

* AnimalMotifs: Although implied rather lightly, his can be considered to be the wolf. Reinforced by his WeaponOfChoice, Wolf Beil.

* WeaponOfChoice: His Armads. Notable, he is the first Lord whose main Weapon was not a sword.

* WeaponOfChoice: Her Mani Katti and Sol Katti. In ''Heroes'', her brave and legendary alternates use the bow Mulagir.

* BreakoutCharacter: Like Hector, she is one of the single most popular characters in the entire ''Fire Emblem'' series. In ''Heroes'', she has ''eight'' unique playable versions (one of the most for any character), and was the most popular female character as voted by fans prior to the game's release. In fact, she is one of two characters not from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Shadow Dragon]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'', or ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]]'' to be playable in ''Warriors'', specifically because she is extremely popular. In the reveal trailer for ''Engage'', she is one of the first characters revealed to be returning as an ''Emblem''.

In the reveal trailer for ''Engage'', she is one of the first characters revealled to be returning.

* BreakoutCharacter: Like Hector, she is one of the single most popular characters in the entire ''Fire Emblem'' series. In ''Heroes'', she has ''six'' unique playable versions (one of the most for any character), and was the most popular female character as voted by fans prior to the game's release. In fact, she is one of two characters not from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Shadow Dragon]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'', or ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]]'' to be playable in ''Warriors'', specifically because she is extremely popular.

* RapunzelHair: Her ponytail almost reaches knee-level length. One wonders how it looks when she lets it down.

* ActionMom: Lyn can potential be the mother of Roy, Lilina or Sue.

%%* BoobsOfSteel: As an Assist Trophy in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', she's definitely shown to have a generous bust... at [[YoungerThanTheyLook 16 years old]], since her trophy description in all versions of ''Brawl'' explicitly uses her age from the Japanese ''Blazing Blade''. Her appearances in later games keep the trend.

%%* MsFanservice: While not dressed {{Stripperiffic}} her outfit conforms to her chest making her BoobsOfSteel that more noticeable. The slits in her dress puts her legs on full display. Increasingly art puts more emphasis on those as shown by the ''Heroes'' artwork.

* AdaptationalCurves: She's definitely a lot curvier in ''Heroes'' than she is in her base game.

* BoobsOfSteel: As an Assist Trophy in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', she's definitely shown to have a generous bust... at [[YoungerThanTheyLook 16 years old]], since her trophy description in all versions of ''Brawl'' explicitly uses her age from the Japanese ''Blazing Blade''. Her appearances in later games keep the trend.

* GoingCommando: Possibly. Lyn wears a short sleeved undershirt under her qipao-like dress, but her ''Fire Emblem Heroes'' [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/9/97/FE_Heroes_Intro_Lyndis.png/revision/latest?cb=20170205051642 title screen art]] has no fabric on its visible hip or crotch. This suggests that at least in ''Heroes'' (as opposed to her ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemWarriors'' appearances, where she wears what are apparently black panties in the former and black spats in the latter) she either wears nothing on her bikini zone or wears underwear with no covering on the revealed areas. Her lack of underwear is further confirmed in her Resplendent artwork for ''Fire Emblem Heroes'', in which her damaged art shows her breasts bouncing in opposite directions (something that is impossible while wearing a bra), and also shows her chest's bare skin where her dress is ripped.

* MsFanservice: While not dressed {{Stripperiffic}} her outfit conforms to her chest making her BoobsOfSteel that more noticeable. The slits in her dress puts her legs on full display. Increasingly art puts more emphasis on those as shown by the ''Heroes'' artwork.

* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: Unlike the other brides in ''Heroes''[='=]s ''Bridal Blessings'' event, Lyn is not as excited to be in her wedding dress, though the reasons why vary: in the English version, she hates that the dress is so restrictive, while the Japanese version, she is more embarrassed by what the dress implies to the Summoner, but she did complain about how tight it is around her chest. The Japanese version of one of her quotes has her asking the Summoner for a swimsuit that cover her chest more due to the {{Cleavage Window}} shown [[https://fireemblemwiki.org/w/images/8/81/FEH_Lyn_Lady_of_the_Beach_01.png here.]]

* ShesGotLegs: Her outfit has double slits to show her [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/6/61/Lyn_Heroes.png/revision/latest?cb=20170122085243 long]] and [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/7/78/Lyn_HN_-_cuboon.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161229083859 shapely legs]].

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Once you look into it, you'll realize he has a lot of similarities to Lex from ''[[Videogame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Genealogy of the Holy War]]''. [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Blue hair]]? Check. AnAxeToGrind? Check. HotBlooded? Check. LeeroyJenkins? Check. Vaguely rebellious noble? Check.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has blue hair, following the trend set by most Lords.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dark green hair.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MakikoOhmoto (Japanese, ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', ''Fire Emblem Heroes''), Lani Minella (English, ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''), Creator/WendeeLee (English, ''Fire Emblem Heroes'', ''Fire Emblem Warriors'')

* {{Deuteragonist}}: In Hector's campaign, he takes a back seat for Hector to be the star.

* DisappearedDad: His adventure is kickstarted when Elbert disappears. [[spoiler:Subverted in the case of himself. He is the only character in ''Fire Emblem'' history to be the father of a main character (in this case Roy) and not die at any point in the story (technically Chrom also qualifies, but only thanks to time travel shenanigans on the part of his daughter)]].

-->'''Hector:''' Listen, [[HelloInsertNameHere [tactician name]]], you know how Eliwood is. Never wants to burden anyone else... Takes all responsibility on himself... Now, more than ever, we have to support him. Let's go, [[HelloInsertNameHere [tactician name]]]!

* InterspeciesRomance: If Eliwood marries Ninian who is half-dragon.

* UptownGirl: Inversed. To Fiora who is a commoner from a poor land, if he has an A rank with her.

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:By the end of the game, Hector is the last surviving member of the Ostian family, as both his parents and brother Uther died from the same illness. However, because he was also doomed to die in ''The Binding Blade'', that torch would later be passed down to his future daughter Lilina, who eventually ends up with this status.]]

* UptownGirl: Inversed. To Florina or Farina who are commoners from a poor land, if he has an A rank with any of them.

* BadassBeard: In the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue. Prior to that, his B support with Eliwood clairvoyantly lampshades said future beard.

** In The Binding Blade, it's stated that Eliwood ventured to the icy lands of Ilia to retrieve a favorite flower for his ailing wife, pointing to either Fiora and Ninian, both women come from Ilia. Roy also has Fiora's eye colour and stats closer to her.

* DevelopersDesiredDate: To Ninian, with whom he gets a steady amount of ShipTease throughout the game that borders on OfficialCouple. [[spoiler:This includes an extended version of Ninian's death scene, where she uses her last breath to beg Eliwood to protect Elibe from Nergal. In addition, their pairing creates an alternate ending of the final chapter, where Nils gives his sister his blessings as he heads through the Dragon's Gate alone, in spite of knowing that Ninian's life on Elibe will be shorter than back in the world that lies past the Dragon's Gate.]] However, players are free to pair him up with whoever they want out of Ninian, Lyndis, or Fiora through the support system, or just let him marry an anonymous villager. Further supporting this pairing, in ''The Binding Blade'', it is implied that [[spoiler:Eliwood's wife has died; Ninian was already stated to have a shortened lifespan in the human world.]] In addition, Eliwood ventured to the [[spoiler:icy lands of Ilia to retrieve a favorite flower for his ailing wife. Ninian, the ice dragon, comes from Ilia.]]

* FragileSpeedster: Her Speed is essentially unparalleled, but her Defense is arguably the worst in the entire game, with a base of 2 and growth of 20% (and unlike other female characters in Fire Emblem [[MagicIsFeminine who usually make up for it with decent Resistance]], [[WeakToMagic Lyn's Resistance is just as nonexistent]]).

* FragileSpeedster: Possesses a rather poor Defense growth, but it's usually not much trouble for her to cap speed. The rest of her growths tend to be as hit-and-miss as Eliwood's, though.

* [[CallingTheOldManOut Calling The Old Woman Out]]: Not his own, but in what is probably his ''greatest'' display of Badassery, he calls out Queen Hellene of Bern on her exploitative treatment of her son Prince Zephiel, even though they require her aid. For what it's worth, Pent and Louise both agree with him.

* DevelopersDesiredDate: To Ninian, with whom he gets a steady amount of ShipTease throughout the game that borders on OfficialCouple. [[spoiler:Including an extended version of Ninian's death scene, where she uses her last breath to request Eliwood to protect Elibe from Nergal. In addition to an alternate ending of the final chapter, where Nils gives his sister his blessings as he heads through the Dragon's Gate alone, in spite of knowing that Ninian's life on Elibe will be shorter than back in the world that lies past the Dragon's Gate.]] However, players are free to pair him up with whoever they want out of Ninian, Lyndis, or Fiora through the support system, or just let him marry an anonymous villager.

-->'''Hector:''' Listen, [[HelloInsertNameHere {=[tactician name]=}]], you know how Eliwood is. Never wants to burden anyone else... Takes all responsibility on himself... Now, more than ever, we have to support him. Let's go, [[HelloInsertNameHere {=[tactician name]=}]]!
%%* HonorBeforeReason
** There are insane amounts of ship tease for these two that indicate that this couple most likely did marry. In ''Fire Emblem 6'', it is implied that [[spoiler:Eliwood's wife has died]]. In ''Fire Emblem 7'', it is implied that Ninian [[spoiler:will die very early because she chose to not live in the Dragon's Gate]]. In addition, Eliwood ventured to the [[spoiler:icy lands of Ilia to retrieve a favorite flower for his ailing wife. Ninian, the ice dragon, comes from Ilia.]]

* WrongGenreSavvy: In his A-support with Ninian, when she still worried over why should Eliwood trust her despite hiding something that she couldn't tell him, he assured her that said secret is something minor that it wouldn't get in between their relationship. [[spoiler:It bites him back much later when Ninian showed up as a dragon and he unwittingly killed her, thinking that she is one of the dragons that must be stopped from ravaging the continent.]]

* EarlyBirdCameo: He is in a house on the right side of the level where [[SpoonyBard Nils]] first joins the team. [[DevelopersForesight Of course]], if you have one of two [[WhiteMagicianGirl certain]] [[FragileSpeedster characters]] move on to the space where that house is located, then the scene [[{{Foreshadowing}} has different dialogue]].

* MightyGlacier: He's the ideal representation of this trope. His Attack and Defense stats are exceptional, but his Speed base is low and he has a shaky Speed growth. That said, should he gain a couple of points on Speed (or if you decide to give him Speed Wings), he can actually start doubling enemies (largely due to the fact that enemy Speed stats in ''[=FE7=]'' are rather low).

** This trait is later reinforced in a different way during one of his story's character-solidfying moments: [[spoiler:Durban's spirit warns him that wielding Armads will lead him to die on the battlefield someday. His response is that he doesn't care as long as he was able to protect his friends.]]

* StrongFamilyResemblance: He is nigh-identical to his future son Roy.

* OverprotectiveDad: Read his and Eli's B support and you'll know why. Taken further in ''Fire Emblem Heroes'', where his Valentine's Day version declares that he won't let anyone take Lilina for a bride. Eliwood lampshades this as well. [[spoiler:Sadly, doesn't prevent his death at Zephiel's hands in ''The Binding Blade''. His FamousLastWords are a plea for Roy to help Lilina out.]]

* HaveWeMet: [[VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes The Summoner]] from ''Heroes'' strongly reminds her of the Tactician.
--> '''Lyn''': You ''really'' remind me of another tactician I know.
** As an Einherjar in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening]],'' Lyn says Robin, the Tactician of Chrom's army, reminds her of her own to a startling extent. [[AmbiguousSituation You, the player, can choose to remember Lyn]], which causes her to declare with joy that Robin and her old friend are one and the same.

* HiddenDepths: While she strongly prefer her Sacean heritage because of her dislike of the nobility due to see them as selfish, her Supports with Eliwood shows that she does what to feel worthy of her Lycian heritage as well, due to her love for her grandfather, making ask Eliwood to teach her the ways of a lady, since she sees him as the ideal noble.
