** ThreeAmigos: TheHero (Eliwood and/or Hector in their respective story); TheLancer (the other one); TheSmurfettePrinciple (Lyn)

** FreudianTrio: Though it's somewhat downplayed compared to most examples, Hector is the id, Lyn is the ego, and Eliwood is the superego.
** WithAFriendAndAStranger: Eliwood and Hector first met when they were 7 and formed a blood oath, and have been sparring partners since they were 12. In contrast Eliwood only met Lyn briefly 1 year before the main plot and Hector only meets her when she is reintroduced into the plot in Eliwood/Hector's story. [[note]]It is possible that Hector meets Lyn before Eliwood does, as Hector does appear as an in-house NPC during the chapter where Lyn and Eliwood meet, and Lyn might engage this scene before meeting Eliwood (which happens after the chapter is completed)[[/note]]

The young son of Lord Elbert, Marquess Pherae, Eliwood grew up surrounded by the complex politics of the Lycian League. Under the watchful eye of his parents, OldRetainer Marcus, and his father's close friends among the lords, he became an even-tempered and compassionate man, self-conscious and aware of the world. He met Lyn during her travels and provided her with crucial political aid which enabled her to unite with her grandfather. When his father disappeared a year later, he chose to search him out with the aid of a few trusted soldiers and subsequently discovered evidence of a terrible plot that threatened the stability of not only Elibe, but of the entire world.
[[spoiler:Many years after the conclusion of the game, he is married (possibly to Ninian, Lyn, or Fiora) and fathers Roy, protagonist of ''Sword of Seals''.]]

----
* AscendedExtra: He debuted in ''The Binding Blade'', where outside being a bonus unit in the trial maps and a few scarce mentions in support conversations and the ending, he disappeared from the game after the prologue. Come this game and he's made TheProtagonist.
* BashBrothers: With Hector. He becomes this with Lyn later as well.
* BirdsOfAFeather: In his supports with Fiora.
* [[CallingTheOldManOut Calling The Old Woman Out]]: Not his own, but in what is probably his ''greatest'' display of Badassery, he [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome 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.
* CharacterDevelopment: He learns to come to terms with the harsh realities of the world, while still keeping to his beliefs and morals. It's not as extensive as Hector or Lyn's arc, but it's there.
* TheConfidant: Is the only person that Lyn opens about her insecurities about her new role as the princess of Caelin in her B-Support, she even ask him about how to instruct her on how to be a proper lady.
* CoolHorse: He gets one upon promoting to Knight Lord.
* 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)]].
* DoomedByCanon: His wife, whoever you pick, will be dead by the time Fire Emblem 6 starts.
* TheDulcineaEffect: Why he rescues Ninian in chapter 7.
* EarlyBirdCameo: When he [[spoiler:rescues Ninian and aids Lyn politically]] in her Tale.
* FutureBadass: Becomes ruler of Pherae and a well-respected voice in the Lycian League.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: His C support with Hector reveals that, despite having weapon triangle advantage against Hector, Eliwood has only beaten Hector about half the time in their bi-monthly duels, which is exactly what you would expect given their respective growth rates.
%%* TheHero: Of the overall game.
* HeroicBSOD: Has two: one when [[spoiler:his father dies]], and another when [[spoiler:he accidentally kills Ninian while she is in dragon form]]. To his everlasting credit, he does ''not'' allow his grief to distract him when others are in need, and recovers quickly enough to rejoin the fight. In fact, in Hector's story, the chapters immediately following both [=BSOD=]s actually ''make'' you use him to drive the point home. The man might be sensitive, but don't you ''dare'' accuse him of {{Wangst}}.
* HeroesPreferSwords: The Rapier being his specialty.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Hector. Nothing short of a debilitating illness could stop the two from rushing to the other's side, during times of need. What hammers this point home is that ''only'' Eliwood has special dialogue, when he's deployed during Hector's trial. Take note that there are two deployment slots on normal mode, and ''one'' in Hector Hard mode.
-->'''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
* ImpliedLoveInterest: 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, Fiora, through the support system, or just let him marry an anonymous villager.
** 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.]]
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: When you can [[spoiler:stare down a ruthless mass murderer, one who [[LackOfEmpathy has no empathy for others]], who has mocked you for [[LetsYouAndHimFight accidentally killing a young girl you grew close to/fell in love with]], and [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids who tears down his former best friend while scoffing at the value of friendship]], and ''still'' declare that you do not hate him for what he's done, but pity him instead]], then you ''know'' you're at least on the ''way'' towards this trope.
* JackOfAllStats: Designed to be the balanced Lord between [[MightyGlacier Hector]] and [[FragileSpeedster Lyndis]], Eliwood's stat distribution is evenly spread out. Unfortunately, the distribution is also thin, and it results in a very inconsistent unit; between playthroughs, he might end up [[MasterOfNone being good at nothing]] or [[LightningBruiser being one of your best characters]], with little to no middle ground.
* KnightInShiningArmour: He seems to be one in the early stages of the game (though a less naive one than usual). As he bears witness to the more ruthless aspects of humanity during his journey, however, he becomes more of a...
* KnightInSourArmour: Yet even then, he doesn't go to the extreme of this trope.
* TheLeader: A charismatic sort. The whole plot begins with his closest friends and knights following the trail of his missing father. He grows into being...
** TheHeart: In Hector's story especially where he is a SupportingLeader and {{Deuteragonist}} to Hector.
* TheLoad: In his story, he can't promote until after Cog of Destiny, and there's a good chance he'll hit Level 20 ''long'' before that. By then, sending him into the front-lines would be a waste of XP, and as enemies get stronger, defending him might become a problem as well.
* MageKiller: The one thing Eliwood consistently has over Hector and Lyndis. Eliwood's base resistance, like the others, is a plain 0, but his growth is pretty good for a physical unit. If it kicks in, he will usually fare better against spellcasters.
* NiceGuy: One of the kindest and most forgiving protagonists in the franchise, at that - only Marth and Roy can ''truly'' give him a run for his money. Unfortunately, this does make him ''seem'' like a pushover to some, but he's really not
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Hector's Red, despite what their hair would make you think.
* ReluctantWarrior: He'll fight for the sake of justice and peace, but he doesn't particularly enjoy it especially when innocents get involved in the "foolish politics" of nobles.
* RescueRomance: If he has an A Support with [[spoiler:Ninian]].
* RousseauWasRight: He seems to believe this, even after meeting many evil or unstable people on his journey. [[spoiler:At the end of the game, he expresses his belief -- towards the more [[JadeColouredGlasses jaded Nils and Ninian]] -- that the day will eventually come when humans and dragons can together live in peace once more]].
** And [[spoiler:[[HeartwarmingInHindsight he may have lived to see that day, thanks to his son]].]]
* RoyalRapier: His WeaponOfChoice.
* SayMyName
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The sensitive guy to Hector's manly man.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Has this kind of conversation in the opening to Chapter 13.x, where the army is passing through Pherae. He reminesces about Lyn, and Hector immediately begins teasing him.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Sort of. The closest he ever comes to committing an evil act is when he is doped up on Durandal's magic. Like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Greil,]] [[spoiler:he ends up killing the woman who loves him.]]
* TenderTears: He has this when his dad dies.
* TheWisePrince: A textbook example.
!!Hector of Ostia

The younger brother of Uther, the Marquess of Ostia. His parents died of illness when he was a young boy, so his brother is more of a father figure to him. Hector is restless, hot-blooded, and loyal to a fault; thus, as soon as he hears word of Elbert's disappearance, he appeals to Uther and tells him to do something about it. When Uther refuses, his time consumed by trying to ease tensions with Bern, he and the spy Matthew run away from the castle, and are ambushed by the Black Fang; once that's dealt with, they're joined by the knight Oswin and the cleric Serra, and Hector fully throws himself into the investigation of the Black Fang.
[[spoiler:After the game's conclusion, he succeeds his brother as Marquess Ostia and head of Lycia, is married (among the possible candidates are Lyn, Florina, and Farina), and fathers Lilina of Sword of Seals.]]

----
* AnAxeToGrind: Specializes in axes.
* AnimalMotifs: Though implied rather lightly, his can be considered to be the wolf. Reinforced by his WeaponOfChoice, Wolf Beil.
* ArtifactOfDoom: Armads, which leads its bearer into a violent death. Not that he cares, so long as he can protect his friends.
* AscendedExtra: Compare his miniscule role in ''Binding Blade'' to his status as {{Deuteragonist}} here.
* BadassBeard: In the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue.
** Prior to that, his B support with Eliwood clairvoyantly lampshades said future beard.
* BashBrothers: With Eliwood. He becomes this with Lyn later as well.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Develops one of these towards Nils.
* BreakoutCharacter: Hector was so popular with fans that [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Ike]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Chrom]] was modeled off of him, according to [[WordOfGod the creators]].
* BrilliantButLazy: Hector's technique is far from refined, and he wasn't the most attentive during his classes, but if Erik is to believed, his natural talent garnered him praise from his instructors anyway.
** As mentioned in DumbMuscle: He's far from stupid and is well versed in nobility and political methods; but as Hector is a man who prefers to get to the point than to bother with tact; he's likely to create his own way forward. In other words; he CAN be as refined as Eliwood; but he feels that it takes too much time to get to the point, so he goes through it head first. Matthew and Oswin in their supports actually admire this trait to him.
* BruiserWithASoftCentre: He can seem careless and brusque at first, but he's quite a nice guy so long as you don't give him reason to dislike you. His friends tease him for it, to the point of it being a RunningGag, like when he apologises to the Tactician (in his own route) for his hasty judgement of his/her abilities, [[TheVoiceless the unheard response to it]] leads to him complaining: "Why does no one think I've got anything nice to say?!"
* BrutalHonesty: Listening to him interact with others makes it clear he care more about getting to the point than things like "tact" or "manners".
* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of the story, he slowly wisens up, and learns how to take responsibility for his own actions, once he realizes how much his brother has done for him.
* CoolSword: He gains swords when he promotes.
* DoomedByCanon: His wife, just like Eliwood's, will be dead before Fire Emblem 6 starts. [[spoiler:He also becomes this early into the plot of ''Fuin'']].
* 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.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He is in a house on the right side of the level where [[SpoonyBard Nils]] first joins the team. 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 has different dialogue.
* EverybodyHatesMathematics:
-->'''Eliwood:''' We’ve been sparring once every two months since we were twelve, and of 30 matches, 14 I won, 12 I lost, and 4 were draws.\\
'''Hector:''' Eh? I think not! I recall 31 matches- an even 13-13 split, with 5 draws!\\
'''Eliwood:''' Yes, well, you recall wrong. I’m in the right.\\
'''Hector:''' Hmph. And what makes you so certain?\\
'''Eliwood:''' Whose snoring was it that shook the rafters in number class?\\
'''Hector:''' Ah, good point.
* {{Expy}}: Once you look into it, you'll realize he has a lot of similarities to Lex from ''Genealogy of the Holy War''. [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Blue hair]]? Check. AnAxeToGrind? Check. HotBlooded? Check. LeeroyJenkins? Check. Vaguely rebellious noble? Check.
** Male Fire Emblem protagonists generally come in two vague flavors, the TheWisePrince type originally founded by Marth, and the more down-to-earth, blunt and BrutalHonesty-favoring type. If Hector isn't the founder of the second type (since Sigurd from ''Genealogy'' arguably lies square in between both types, and as mentioned above, Lex from the same game is basically Hector minus his Lord status), his high popularity at the very least had a notable impact on the creation of later Lords like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Ike]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Chrom]].
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Him and Eliwood. Nothing short of a debilitating illness could stop the two from rushing to each other's aid when the other is in a pinch. What hammers this point home is that only Hector has special dialogue, when deployed in Eliwood's trial; a chapter with 4 deployment slots, on normal.
* HotBlooded: If you hurt his brother or any member of his army, he will come after you.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Hector towers over Lyn, Florina, and Farina; his potential wives.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: With Lyn of the BelligerentSexualTension variety. They get a fair amount of ShipTease and even more scenes together in Hector Mode. If he and Lyn don't become romantically inclined, then it's VitriolicBestBuds. He's also free to marry Florina or Farina through the support system, or an anonymous NPC.
* KnightInSourArmour: He knows the world's a pretty messed-up place, but damn if he's going to stand by idly and let terrible things just happen!
* TheLancer: In Eliwood's story; also TheBigGuy.
** TheHero: In his own.
* LeeroyJenkins: Hector isn't big on the whole planning thing most of the time, but not to the point of endangering the rest of the group.
** Lampshaded by Athos: "Your recklessness may one day be your undoing..." [[spoiler:It is. He goes down swinging very early in ''Sword of Seals''.]]
* TheLoad: Of all the people, him in his story. By the time he reaches level twenty, you have a large chunk of the game to go, before he can promote. Not only are there more chapters in his story, but with his poor movement, guiding him to a throne on a seize map can get somewhat annoying. That he tends to be a better fighter than Eliwood only exacerbates this problem, [[CrutchCharacter encouraging you to use him more often and pushing him towards the level cap even faster while stealing XP from your other units.]]
%%* MightyGlacier: If the RNG screws you up, you get a decent knight, that can take hits, though won't counter-attack often.
* NotAfraidToDie: A warning that he's going to die violently if he ever takes up Armads? Hector gives no crap about that if that means he gets to help Eliwood stopping Nergal. [[spoiler:He goes down swinging later in ''Sealed Sword'', but never once did he show any fear about dying.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Discussed. When trouble happens in Ostia, Eliwood asks him if being absent from court would be taken as a sign of something being wrong; Hector counters that he has a reputation as a lout, and his presence at court would be a ''guarantee'' that something is wrong.
* OverprotectiveDad: Read his and Eli's B support and you'll know why. [[spoiler:Sadly, doesn't prevent his death at Zephiel's hands in Sword of Seals. His FamousLastWords are a plea for Roy to help Lilina out.]]
* PapaWolf: Never ''ever'' slight one of his friends. And this doesn't only extend to Eliwood or Lyn, either. After all, he straight-up tells [[spoiler:Jaffar]] that he hasn't forgiven [[spoiler:his killing of Leila]], and says he'll kill him with his own hands if he steps out of line.
** 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.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: His parents died of tuberculosis when he was a child, so his brother became a surrogate parent to him. [[spoiler:Uther later dies from the same illness]].
* PetTheDog: Decides to give Nils a ride on his shoulders when he sees the boy struggling to get through Nabata. Though the boy was sort of reluctant and surprised, remember that Hector is wearing loud, heavy, ''sweaty'' armour in the desert, and giving someone a piggyback is ''not'' going to make movement easier.
* [[spoiler:PowerAtAPrice: Gaining the power of the legendary axe Armads... will lead to Hector dying on the battlefield, sooner or later. Canonically later.]]
* PrecisionFStrike: Never lets loose any major swear words, but he curses quite a lot in the story and is pretty creative with insults.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red Oni to Eliwood, Oswin, ''and'' Uther.
* SiblingYinYang: Hector is [[HotBlooded hot blooded]], his older brother Uther is [[TheStoic stoic]] and [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]].
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The manly man to Eliwood's sensitive guy.
** Also played for laughs when they first meet Hannah.
-->'''Hannah:''' Hee hee hee... A world of trouble you've landed yourself in, yes?\\
'''Hector:''' Who-!? You startled me, old woman! You should get out of here. This is going to be a bad place to stay if you plan on living.\\
'''Hannah:''' I want to see the one searching for his father. Marquess Pherae's son.\\
'''Hector:''' Listen up, old woman! You're close to death as it is! Quit your yammering and move on!\\
'''Eliwood:''' Hector! You should mind your manners. I am Eliwood. May I ask your name, milady?\\
'''Hannah:''' Ho ho ho. What a polite young man.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Nergal himself admits that Hector choosing to aid Eliwood's search was ''the'' determining factor in his defeat.
* SpiritualSuccessor: While Hector, like all Lycian nobles, is a blood descendant of Roland like Eliwood, he ultimately claims not Durandal but the axe of the Berserker Durban. When he fights and defeats the undead guardian of the legendary axe, who served Durban in life, it passes on while praising his great strength, and implying that that alone has truly made him fit to carry the weapon rather than lineage.
* SupportingProtagonist: In his mode; note that although [[PerspectiveFlip he's now the viewpoint character]], it's still Eliwood all the important plot stuff happens to.
* TranquilFury: ''"You see, I'm about as angry as I've ever been."''
* UnskilledButStrong: Taught himself to fight, and his style is noted as being reckless and unrefined by knights' standards. Doesn't stop him from hacking down pretty much anything in his path.
* WhatTheHellHero: He gives one to his brother for staying neutral while the other marquesses make their decision to rebel.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

Daughter of Madelyn, princess of Caelin, and Hassan, chief of the nomadic Lorca tribe, Lyn grew up without a care in the world on the plains of her father's homeland, Sacae. All of that changed when her home was pillaged by a brutal group of bandits, the Taliver, who left fewer than ten people alive. Forced to survive on her own, Lyn's life changes for the better when she comes across a [[HelloInsertNameHere certain strategist]], and before she knows it, she is caught up in a game of war and political intrigue once she learns of her royal heritage. After thwarting the ambitions of her evil great uncle, Lundgren, Lyn lives in peace with her grandfather, Lord Hausen. That is, until a year later, when Caelin becomes entangled in Nergal's scheme.

----
* AmbiguouslyBi: Depending on how you interpret her ending with Florina.
* AgeLift: A blink-and-you'll-miss-it example: in the Japanese version of ''Blazing Sword'', she's 15 years old at the start of the game and 16 after the time skip. In the North American version, she's 18 and then 19.
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: If Lyn has a A-Support with Eliwood at the start of Battle Preparations, she give him one at the start the chapter, saying that she had fallen in love with him because he was strong enough to remain kind-hearted despite the [[spoiler:deaths of both his father and Ninian, the latter was unintended and by his own hands]] and move forward, the result of this unexpected confession when Hector calls out to them, make Lyn leave in hurry, and Eliwood red-faced. Also, this will automatically start, unlike the optional conversation in Hector's story
* BashBrothers: With Eliwood and Hector later.
* BeYourself: In her A-Support, after letting her insecurities about her noble heritage overwhelm her to the point that she actually ashamed of her Sacean blood, Eliwood said that she is a strong woman, and that she doesn't change any part of herself
* BerserkButton: The Talliver Bandits, who slaughtered her people, are a major one, as are most bandits and pirates; she's initially pissed when Eliwood even considers asking pirates for help getting to the Dread Isle (later though, she acknowledges that Fargus' crew are genuinely "good people" despite their profession).
* {{BFS}}: The Sol Katti, her ultimate weapon... at least in the North American localization. It's no longer than any other of her swords in the original.
** A couple of DummiedOut combat sprites suggest that at some point in development, she was able to wield Durandal as well. In this case, it's an inversion, however, as the Durandal is ''downsized'' in this animation, especially compared to when Eliwood uses it.
%%* {{Bokukko}}
* 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 Sword''.
* BowAndSwordInAccord: Starts out with swords, then gains the ability to use bows upon promotion to Blade Lord.
* ButNotTooForeign: Half-Lycian, half-Sacaean.
* TheChosenOne: The chosen wielder of the Mani Katti, as dictated by the weapon itself. Evidently, in all the years she prayed at the shrine before the events of the game, she never once actually ''touched'' the sword...
** The priest's dialogue does imply that getting to actually touch the sword is something of a special privilege, so it's understandable.
* DeadGuyJunior: Named for her grandfather's late wife.
* DemotedToExtra: Downplayed. She's not exactly irrelevant after her tale, but she doesn't hold quite as much importance to the overarching plot as Hector or Eliwood. She still contributes greatly to the army, however, and remains a valuable member of the group.
* DoomedByCanon: If you pair her up with [[spoiler:Eliwood]] or [[spoiler:Hector]], this is what likely happens since [[spoiler:Eliwood's wife passes on]] before the events of ''Sword of Seals'' while [[spoiler:Hector's wife is never mentioned]].
** WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In all other endings, with [[spoiler:Caelin folding into Ostia]], she heads back to Sacae (with her A Support partner if you gave her one). After that, she's never mentioned or heard from again. (Given what Zephiel does to Sacae, though, she's probably still Doomed by Canon.)
* DoomedHometown: Her people were nomads, so the eradication of all but a few Lorca was essentially this for her.
* DoppelgangerSpin: Present in all of her sword-wielding criticals. The Sol Katti critical adds BladeSpam to the mix.
%%* FragileSpeedster: Usually ends up as this, depending on how good the RandomNumberGod is to you.
%%* LightningBruiser: If she manages to get an actual defense stat.
* {{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.
* HeWillNotCrySoICryForHim: In a Hector's story exclusive scene that can only be seen by pairing her with Hector, right before the final battle, [[spoiler:after Eliwood confirms to her that what Nergal said to Hector is true,]] she cries in place of Hector [[spoiler:for his recently deceased older brother Uther]], in a Shout Out to an earlier scene in which Hector tells her about how he tried to cry when his and Uther's parents died, but he simply was unable to.
* TheHero: In her quest. After that, she becomes a combination of TheLancer and TheChick to Eliwood and Hector.
* IaijutsuPractitioner: While her sword skills aren't ''called'' "iaijutsu" in the game itself, her attack animations makes it pretty damn clear what real life influences went into her swordplay.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: With Hector of the BelligerentSexualTension variety. They get a fair amount of ShipTease and even more scenes together in Hector Mode. Players are free to pair her up with whoever they want out of Florina, Kent, Eliwood, Hector or Rath through the support system. Alternatively, the player could opt to pair her with no one at all.
* InfinityMinusOneSword: The Mani Katti may not be statistically as uber as some of the late game weapons, but it's damned close: Armor- and cavalry-slaying abilities, along with high durability, is pretty much the reason Lyn is known for flinging [[CriticalHit critical hits]], and for ranked runs, it costs nothing from the Funds rank. It even gets repaired for free in [[TimeSkip the interim]] between chapters 10 and 11, and could very well last for the rest of the game even ''without'' an emergency Hammerne repair. If anything, it's actually a lot better than the Sol Katti.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: Sadly downplayed; the Sol Katti is pretty disappointing. [[spoiler:Lyn's entire game revolves around making enemies whiff their attacks to counteract her weak defenses, and with over four times the weight of the Mani Katti slowing her down (in the final chapter, which has ruthlessly strong enemies as it is), that's not gonna happen. On the plus side, due to her low strength, the Sol Katti's damage boost against the final boss is the only thing that allows her to scratch it. Hope that high critical kicks in; you'll need it.]]
** It finally becomes played straight in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' however, as that doesn't use the Weight stat, and the sword has had its other stats retweaked; in exchange for 5 Might and its effectiveness against Dragons, it now boasts a monstrous ''base 50% CriticalHit rate'' (it had 25% in ''Blazing Sword''). You can even give it to DLC Lyn for good measure, who comes fresh from the Internet with a skillset made for Crit-slinging.
* LadyOfWar: Pretty badass swordfighter, without losing any grace.
* ManlyTears: She isn't afraid to cry when she feels like it. Even Hector is surprised that she would cry so easily by remembering her parents, thinking she would prefer to hide it.
* NiceGirl: Lyn is constantly described as kind, and she does indeed go out of her way to help those in need without any request for compensation. The only people she's unkind to are lawless criminals (due to her DoomedHometown, and even then she recognises there are good people among them), and people who hurt or oppress those in need.
* NobleSavage: See ProudWarriorRace below and NiceGirl above.
** CloserToEarth: Known for her hunting, tracking, and survival skills from living on the plains on her own. In the ending if she doesn't marry Eliwood or Hector, she returns to live out the rest of her days on the Sacae plains again.
* PlatonicLifePartners[=/=]HeterosexualLifePartners: with the tactician, considering they've known each other the longest (not including her actual ChildhoodFriend that is).
* [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Proud Warrior Race Girl]]: The moment Marquess Araphen began insulting her heritage, she decided his help wasn't worth the trouble.
* RapunzelHair: Her ponytail almost reaches knee-level length. One wonders how it looks when she lets it down.
* RebelliousPrincess: Somewhat. She does make an effort to please the Caelin court, but ultimately can't let go of her Sacaen instincts.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Lundgren falsely informs Hausen that Lyndis was killed near the end of Lyn's tale.
* RescueRomance: If you pair her with Rath, who saved her from an assassin right before chapter 7 starts.
* ShesGotLegs: Her outfit has double slits to show her long and shapely legs.
* ShipperOnDeck: In "Four Fanged Offense," she hurries away to gather information. When Hector complains that they're leaving Eliwood and Ninian behind, her response is "So? We don't want to be in the way, do we?... Teeheehee... You mean to tell me you don't see it?"
* SlapSlapKiss: Her relationship with Hector, which can evolve into romance if she has an A Support with him.
* ThemeNaming:
** She's born into a family in which all of the girls have the name "Lyn" somewhere in their name, as the name is present in her grandmother (who she is named after), and in the name of her mother Madelyn.
** Also extends to her main weapons. The "Mani" in Mani Katti and "Sol" in Sol Katti are named after the [[Myth/NorseMythology Norse gods]] of the moon and sun respectively, roughly translating them to "Katana of the Moon" and "Katana of the Sun".
* VitriolicBestBuds: If she and Hector don't become romantically inclined, then they become this.
* VocalDissonance: She is voiced by Creator/LaniMinella in the English version of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', who provides a voice for Lyn that makes her sound 3 times her age. This is [[AvertedTrope averted]] in the Japanese version and in VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes, where Creator/MakikoOhmoto and Creator/WendeeLee gave her a more youthful voice.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: What Wallace says, word for word, upon seeing her.
--> '''Wallace''': I've been a knight for 30 years, and there's one thing I learned. A person with eyes as bright and true as yours is no deceiver.
* WillNotTellALie: Like all Sacaeans, she is too proud to lie.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Not Lyn herself, but the Sol Katti got hit with this in the North American localization. It's supposed to be a katana similar to the Mani Katti -- even the menu sprite is just a PaletteSwap of it -- but in the unique animation it was given, it's a rapier [[{{BFS}} twice as long as she is tall]]. ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening's'' design makes more sense, looking like a cross between [[http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130420183730/fireemblem/images/8/88/Sol_KattiAwakening.jpg a katana and a large scimitar]].
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dark green hair.

* PowerTrio
** ThreeAmigos: TheHero (Eliwood and/or Hector in their respective story); TheLancer (the other one); TheSmurfettePrinciple (Lyn)
** CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Almost; Eliwood breaks the mold by having blue eyes.
** ChromaticArrangement: Eliwood/Red, Hector/Blue, Lyn/Green
** FreudianTrio: Though it's somewhat downplayed compared to most examples, Hector is the id, Lyn is the ego, and Eliwood is the superego.
** WithAFriendAndAStranger: Eliwood and Hector first met when they were 7 and formed a blood oath, and have been sparring partners since they were 12. In contrast Eliwood only met Lyn briefly 1 year before the main plot and Hector only meets her when she is reintroduced into the plot in Eliwood/Hector's story. [[note]]It is possible that Hector meets Lyn before Eliwood does, as Hector does appear as an in-house NPC during the chapter where Lyn and Eliwood meet, and Lyn might engage this scene before meeting Eliwood (which happens after the chapter is completed)[[/note]]

The young son of Lord Elbert, Marquess Pherae, Eliwood grew up surrounded by the complex politics of the Lycian League. Under the watchful eye of his parents, OldRetainer Marcus, and his father's close friends among the lords, he became an even-tempered and compassionate man, self-conscious and aware of the world. He met Lyn during her travels and provided her with crucial political aid which enabled her to unite with her grandfather. When his father disappeared a year later, he chose to search him out with the aid of a few trusted soldiers and subsequently discovered evidence of a terrible plot that threatened the stability of not only Elibe, but of the entire world.
[[spoiler:Many years after the conclusion of the game, he is married (possibly to Ninian, Lyn, or Fiora) and fathers Roy, protagonist of ''Sword of Seals''.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakahiroSakurai (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/YuriLowenthal (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
----
* AscendedExtra: He debuted in ''The Binding Blade'', where outside being a bonus unit in the trial maps and a few scarce mentions in support conversations and the ending, he disappeared from the game after the prologue. Come this game and he's made TheProtagonist.
* BashBrothers: With Hector. He becomes this with Lyn later as well.
* BirdsOfAFeather: In his supports with Fiora.
* [[CallingTheOldManOut Calling The Old Woman Out]]: Not his own, but in what is probably his ''greatest'' display of Badassery, he [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome 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.
* CharacterDevelopment: He learns to come to terms with the harsh realities of the world, while still keeping to his beliefs and morals. It's not as extensive as Hector or Lyn's arc, but it's there.
* TheConfidant: Is the only person that Lyn opens about her insecurities about her new role as the princess of Caelin in her B-Support, she even ask him about how to instruct her on how to be a proper lady.
* CoolHorse: He gets one upon promoting to Knight Lord.
* 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)]].
* DoomedByCanon: His wife, whoever you pick, will be dead by the time Fire Emblem 6 starts.
* TheDulcineaEffect: Why he rescues Ninian in chapter 7.
* EarlyBirdCameo: When he [[spoiler:rescues Ninian and aids Lyn politically]] in her Tale.
* FutureBadass: Becomes ruler of Pherae and a well-respected voice in the Lycian League.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: His C support with Hector reveals that, despite having weapon triangle advantage against Hector, Eliwood has only beaten Hector about half the time in their bi-monthly duels, which is exactly what you would expect given their respective growth rates.
%%* TheHero: Of the overall game.
* HeroicBSOD: Has two: one when [[spoiler:his father dies]], and another when [[spoiler:he accidentally kills Ninian while she is in dragon form]]. To his everlasting credit, he does ''not'' allow his grief to distract him when others are in need, and recovers quickly enough to rejoin the fight. In fact, in Hector's story, the chapters immediately following both [=BSOD=]s actually ''make'' you use him to drive the point home. The man might be sensitive, but don't you ''dare'' accuse him of {{Wangst}}.
* HeroesPreferSwords: The Rapier being his specialty.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Hector. Nothing short of a debilitating illness could stop the two from rushing to the other's side, during times of need. What hammers this point home is that ''only'' Eliwood has special dialogue, when he's deployed during Hector's trial. Take note that there are two deployment slots on normal mode, and ''one'' in Hector Hard mode.
-->'''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
* ImpliedLoveInterest: 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, Fiora, through the support system, or just let him marry an anonymous villager.
** 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.]]
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: When you can [[spoiler:stare down a ruthless mass murderer, one who [[LackOfEmpathy has no empathy for others]], who has mocked you for [[LetsYouAndHimFight accidentally killing a young girl you grew close to/fell in love with]], and [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids who tears down his former best friend while scoffing at the value of friendship]], and ''still'' declare that you do not hate him for what he's done, but pity him instead]], then you ''know'' you're at least on the ''way'' towards this trope.
* JackOfAllStats: Designed to be the balanced Lord between [[MightyGlacier Hector]] and [[FragileSpeedster Lyndis]], Eliwood's stat distribution is evenly spread out. Unfortunately, the distribution is also thin, and it results in a very inconsistent unit; between playthroughs, he might end up [[MasterOfNone being good at nothing]] or [[LightningBruiser being one of your best characters]], with little to no middle ground.
* KnightInShiningArmour: He seems to be one in the early stages of the game (though a less naive one than usual). As he bears witness to the more ruthless aspects of humanity during his journey, however, he becomes more of a...
* KnightInSourArmour: Yet even then, he doesn't go to the extreme of this trope.
* TheLeader: A charismatic sort. The whole plot begins with his closest friends and knights following the trail of his missing father. He grows into being...
** TheHeart: In Hector's story especially where he is a SupportingLeader and {{Deuteragonist}} to Hector.
* TheLoad: In his story, he can't promote until after Cog of Destiny, and there's a good chance he'll hit Level 20 ''long'' before that. By then, sending him into the front-lines would be a waste of XP, and as enemies get stronger, defending him might become a problem as well.
* MageKiller: The one thing Eliwood consistently has over Hector and Lyndis. Eliwood's base resistance, like the others, is a plain 0, but his growth is pretty good for a physical unit. If it kicks in, he will usually fare better against spellcasters.
* NiceGuy: One of the kindest and most forgiving protagonists in the franchise, at that - only Marth and Roy can ''truly'' give him a run for his money. Unfortunately, this does make him ''seem'' like a pushover to some, but he's really not
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Hector's Red, despite what their hair would make you think.
* ReluctantWarrior: He'll fight for the sake of justice and peace, but he doesn't particularly enjoy it especially when innocents get involved in the "foolish politics" of nobles.
* RescueRomance: If he has an A Support with [[spoiler:Ninian]].
* RousseauWasRight: He seems to believe this, even after meeting many evil or unstable people on his journey. [[spoiler:At the end of the game, he expresses his belief -- towards the more [[JadeColouredGlasses jaded Nils and Ninian]] -- that the day will eventually come when humans and dragons can together live in peace once more]].
** And [[spoiler:[[HeartwarmingInHindsight he may have lived to see that day, thanks to his son]].]]
* RoyalRapier: His WeaponOfChoice.
* SayMyName
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The sensitive guy to Hector's manly man.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Has this kind of conversation in the opening to Chapter 13.x, where the army is passing through Pherae. He reminesces about Lyn, and Hector immediately begins teasing him.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Sort of. The closest he ever comes to committing an evil act is when he is doped up on Durandal's magic. Like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Greil,]] [[spoiler:he ends up killing the woman who loves him.]]
* TenderTears: He has this when his dad dies.
* TheWisePrince: A textbook example.

The younger brother of Uther, the Marquess of Ostia. His parents died of illness when he was a young boy, so his brother is more of a father figure to him. Hector is restless, hot-blooded, and loyal to a fault; thus, as soon as he hears word of Elbert's disappearance, he appeals to Uther and tells him to do something about it. When Uther refuses, his time consumed by trying to ease tensions with Bern, he and the spy Matthew run away from the castle, and are ambushed by the Black Fang; once that's dealt with, they're joined by the knight Oswin and the cleric Serra, and Hector fully throws himself into the investigation of the Black Fang.
[[spoiler:After the game's conclusion, he succeeds his brother as Marquess Ostia and head of Lycia, is married (among the possible candidates are Lyn, Florina, and Farina), and fathers Lilina of Sword of Seals.]]

----
* AnAxeToGrind: Specializes in axes.
* AnimalMotifs: Though implied rather lightly, his can be considered to be the wolf. Reinforced by his WeaponOfChoice, Wolf Beil.
* ArtifactOfDoom: Armads, which leads its bearer into a violent death. Not that he cares, so long as he can protect his friends.
* AscendedExtra: Compare his miniscule role in ''Binding Blade'' to his status as {{Deuteragonist}} here.
* BadassBeard: In the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue.
** Prior to that, his B support with Eliwood clairvoyantly lampshades said future beard.
* BashBrothers: With Eliwood. He becomes this with Lyn later as well.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Develops one of these towards Nils.
* BreakoutCharacter: Hector was so popular with fans that [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Ike]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Chrom]] was modeled off of him, according to [[WordOfGod the creators]].
* BrilliantButLazy: Hector's technique is far from refined, and he wasn't the most attentive during his classes, but if Erik is to believed, his natural talent garnered him praise from his instructors anyway.
** As mentioned in DumbMuscle: He's far from stupid and is well versed in nobility and political methods; but as Hector is a man who prefers to get to the point than to bother with tact; he's likely to create his own way forward. In other words; he CAN be as refined as Eliwood; but he feels that it takes too much time to get to the point, so he goes through it head first. Matthew and Oswin in their supports actually admire this trait to him.
* BruiserWithASoftCentre: He can seem careless and brusque at first, but he's quite a nice guy so long as you don't give him reason to dislike you. His friends tease him for it, to the point of it being a RunningGag, like when he apologises to the Tactician (in his own route) for his hasty judgement of his/her abilities, [[TheVoiceless the unheard response to it]] leads to him complaining: "Why does no one think I've got anything nice to say?!"
* BrutalHonesty: Listening to him interact with others makes it clear he care more about getting to the point than things like "tact" or "manners".
* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of the story, he slowly wisens up, and learns how to take responsibility for his own actions, once he realizes how much his brother has done for him.
* CoolSword: He gains swords when he promotes.
* DoomedByCanon: His wife, just like Eliwood's, will be dead before Fire Emblem 6 starts. [[spoiler:He also becomes this early into the plot of ''Fuin'']].
* 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.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He is in a house on the right side of the level where [[SpoonyBard Nils]] first joins the team. 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 has different dialogue.
* EverybodyHatesMathematics:
-->'''Eliwood:''' We’ve been sparring once every two months since we were twelve, and of 30 matches, 14 I won, 12 I lost, and 4 were draws.\\
'''Hector:''' Eh? I think not! I recall 31 matches- an even 13-13 split, with 5 draws!\\
'''Eliwood:''' Yes, well, you recall wrong. I’m in the right.\\
'''Hector:''' Hmph. And what makes you so certain?\\
'''Eliwood:''' Whose snoring was it that shook the rafters in number class?\\
'''Hector:''' Ah, good point.
* {{Expy}}: Once you look into it, you'll realize he has a lot of similarities to Lex from ''Genealogy of the Holy War''. [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Blue hair]]? Check. AnAxeToGrind? Check. HotBlooded? Check. LeeroyJenkins? Check. Vaguely rebellious noble? Check.
** Male Fire Emblem protagonists generally come in two vague flavors, the TheWisePrince type originally founded by Marth, and the more down-to-earth, blunt and BrutalHonesty-favoring type. If Hector isn't the founder of the second type (since Sigurd from ''Genealogy'' arguably lies square in between both types, and as mentioned above, Lex from the same game is basically Hector minus his Lord status), his high popularity at the very least had a notable impact on the creation of later Lords like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Ike]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Chrom]].
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Him and Eliwood. Nothing short of a debilitating illness could stop the two from rushing to each other's aid when the other is in a pinch. What hammers this point home is that only Hector has special dialogue, when deployed in Eliwood's trial; a chapter with 4 deployment slots, on normal.
* HotBlooded: If you hurt his brother or any member of his army, he will come after you.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Hector towers over Lyn, Florina, and Farina; his potential wives.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: With Lyn of the BelligerentSexualTension variety. They get a fair amount of ShipTease and even more scenes together in Hector Mode. If he and Lyn don't become romantically inclined, then it's VitriolicBestBuds. He's also free to marry Florina or Farina through the support system, or an anonymous NPC.
* KnightInSourArmour: He knows the world's a pretty messed-up place, but damn if he's going to stand by idly and let terrible things just happen!
* TheLancer: In Eliwood's story; also TheBigGuy.
** TheHero: In his own.
* LeeroyJenkins: Hector isn't big on the whole planning thing most of the time, but not to the point of endangering the rest of the group.
** Lampshaded by Athos: "Your recklessness may one day be your undoing..." [[spoiler:It is. He goes down swinging very early in ''Sword of Seals''.]]
* TheLoad: Of all the people, him in his story. By the time he reaches level twenty, you have a large chunk of the game to go, before he can promote. Not only are there more chapters in his story, but with his poor movement, guiding him to a throne on a seize map can get somewhat annoying. That he tends to be a better fighter than Eliwood only exacerbates this problem, [[CrutchCharacter encouraging you to use him more often and pushing him towards the level cap even faster while stealing XP from your other units.]]
%%* MightyGlacier: If the RNG screws you up, you get a decent knight, that can take hits, though won't counter-attack often.
* NotAfraidToDie: A warning that he's going to die violently if he ever takes up Armads? Hector gives no crap about that if that means he gets to help Eliwood stopping Nergal. [[spoiler:He goes down swinging later in ''Sealed Sword'', but never once did he show any fear about dying.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Discussed. When trouble happens in Ostia, Eliwood asks him if being absent from court would be taken as a sign of something being wrong; Hector counters that he has a reputation as a lout, and his presence at court would be a ''guarantee'' that something is wrong.
* OverprotectiveDad: Read his and Eli's B support and you'll know why. [[spoiler:Sadly, doesn't prevent his death at Zephiel's hands in Sword of Seals. His FamousLastWords are a plea for Roy to help Lilina out.]]
* PapaWolf: Never ''ever'' slight one of his friends. And this doesn't only extend to Eliwood or Lyn, either. After all, he straight-up tells [[spoiler:Jaffar]] that he hasn't forgiven [[spoiler:his killing of Leila]], and says he'll kill him with his own hands if he steps out of line.
** 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.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: His parents died of tuberculosis when he was a child, so his brother became a surrogate parent to him. [[spoiler:Uther later dies from the same illness]].
* PetTheDog: Decides to give Nils a ride on his shoulders when he sees the boy struggling to get through Nabata. Though the boy was sort of reluctant and surprised, remember that Hector is wearing loud, heavy, ''sweaty'' armour in the desert, and giving someone a piggyback is ''not'' going to make movement easier.
* [[spoiler:PowerAtAPrice: Gaining the power of the legendary axe Armads... will lead to Hector dying on the battlefield, sooner or later. Canonically later.]]
* PrecisionFStrike: Never lets loose any major swear words, but he curses quite a lot in the story and is pretty creative with insults.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red Oni to Eliwood, Oswin, ''and'' Uther.
* SiblingYinYang: Hector is [[HotBlooded hot blooded]], his older brother Uther is [[TheStoic stoic]] and [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]].
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The manly man to Eliwood's sensitive guy.
** Also played for laughs when they first meet Hannah.
-->'''Hannah:''' Hee hee hee... A world of trouble you've landed yourself in, yes?\\
'''Hector:''' Who-!? You startled me, old woman! You should get out of here. This is going to be a bad place to stay if you plan on living.\\
'''Hannah:''' I want to see the one searching for his father. Marquess Pherae's son.\\
'''Hector:''' Listen up, old woman! You're close to death as it is! Quit your yammering and move on!\\
'''Eliwood:''' Hector! You should mind your manners. I am Eliwood. May I ask your name, milady?\\
'''Hannah:''' Ho ho ho. What a polite young man.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Nergal himself admits that Hector choosing to aid Eliwood's search was ''the'' determining factor in his defeat.
* SpiritualSuccessor: While Hector, like all Lycian nobles, is a blood descendant of Roland like Eliwood, he ultimately claims not Durandal but the axe of the Berserker Durban. When he fights and defeats the undead guardian of the legendary axe, who served Durban in life, it passes on while praising his great strength, and implying that that alone has truly made him fit to carry the weapon rather than lineage.
* SupportingProtagonist: In his mode; note that although [[PerspectiveFlip he's now the viewpoint character]], it's still Eliwood all the important plot stuff happens to.
* TranquilFury: ''"You see, I'm about as angry as I've ever been."''
* UnskilledButStrong: Taught himself to fight, and his style is noted as being reckless and unrefined by knights' standards. Doesn't stop him from hacking down pretty much anything in his path.
* WhatTheHellHero: He gives one to his brother for staying neutral while the other marquesses make their decision to rebel.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

Daughter of Madelyn, princess of Caelin, and Hassan, chief of the nomadic Lorca tribe, Lyn grew up without a care in the world on the plains of her father's homeland, Sacae. All of that changed when her home was pillaged by a brutal group of bandits, the Taliver, who left fewer than ten people alive. Forced to survive on her own, Lyn's life changes for the better when she comes across a [[HelloInsertNameHere certain strategist]], and before she knows it, she is caught up in a game of war and political intrigue once she learns of her royal heritage. After thwarting the ambitions of her evil great uncle, Lundgren, Lyn lives in peace with her grandfather, Lord Hausen. That is, until a year later, when Caelin becomes entangled in Nergal's scheme.

----
* AmbiguouslyBi: Depending on how you interpret her ending with Florina.
* AgeLift: A blink-and-you'll-miss-it example: in the Japanese version of ''Blazing Sword'', she's 15 years old at the start of the game and 16 after the time skip. In the North American version, she's 18 and then 19.
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: If Lyn has a A-Support with Eliwood at the start of Battle Preparations, she give him one at the start the chapter, saying that she had fallen in love with him because he was strong enough to remain kind-hearted despite the [[spoiler:deaths of both his father and Ninian, the latter was unintended and by his own hands]] and move forward, the result of this unexpected confession when Hector calls out to them, make Lyn leave in hurry, and Eliwood red-faced. Also, this will automatically start, unlike the optional conversation in Hector's story
* BashBrothers: With Eliwood and Hector later.
* BeYourself: In her A-Support, after letting her insecurities about her noble heritage overwhelm her to the point that she actually ashamed of her Sacean blood, Eliwood said that she is a strong woman, and that she doesn't change any part of herself
* BerserkButton: The Talliver Bandits, who slaughtered her people, are a major one, as are most bandits and pirates; she's initially pissed when Eliwood even considers asking pirates for help getting to the Dread Isle (later though, she acknowledges that Fargus' crew are genuinely "good people" despite their profession).
* {{BFS}}: The Sol Katti, her ultimate weapon... at least in the North American localization. It's no longer than any other of her swords in the original.
** A couple of DummiedOut combat sprites suggest that at some point in development, she was able to wield Durandal as well. In this case, it's an inversion, however, as the Durandal is ''downsized'' in this animation, especially compared to when Eliwood uses it.
%%* {{Bokukko}}
* 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 Sword''.
* BowAndSwordInAccord: Starts out with swords, then gains the ability to use bows upon promotion to Blade Lord.
* ButNotTooForeign: Half-Lycian, half-Sacaean.
* TheChosenOne: The chosen wielder of the Mani Katti, as dictated by the weapon itself. Evidently, in all the years she prayed at the shrine before the events of the game, she never once actually ''touched'' the sword...
** The priest's dialogue does imply that getting to actually touch the sword is something of a special privilege, so it's understandable.
* DeadGuyJunior: Named for her grandfather's late wife.
* DemotedToExtra: Downplayed. She's not exactly irrelevant after her tale, but she doesn't hold quite as much importance to the overarching plot as Hector or Eliwood. She still contributes greatly to the army, however, and remains a valuable member of the group.
* DoomedByCanon: If you pair her up with [[spoiler:Eliwood]] or [[spoiler:Hector]], this is what likely happens since [[spoiler:Eliwood's wife passes on]] before the events of ''Sword of Seals'' while [[spoiler:Hector's wife is never mentioned]].
** WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In all other endings, with [[spoiler:Caelin folding into Ostia]], she heads back to Sacae (with her A Support partner if you gave her one). After that, she's never mentioned or heard from again. (Given what Zephiel does to Sacae, though, she's probably still Doomed by Canon.)
* DoomedHometown: Her people were nomads, so the eradication of all but a few Lorca was essentially this for her.
* DoppelgangerSpin: Present in all of her sword-wielding criticals. The Sol Katti critical adds BladeSpam to the mix.
%%* FragileSpeedster: Usually ends up as this, depending on how good the RandomNumberGod is to you.
%%* LightningBruiser: If she manages to get an actual defense stat.
* {{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.
* HeWillNotCrySoICryForHim: In a Hector's story exclusive scene that can only be seen by pairing her with Hector, right before the final battle, [[spoiler:after Eliwood confirms to her that what Nergal said to Hector is true,]] she cries in place of Hector [[spoiler:for his recently deceased older brother Uther]], in a Shout Out to an earlier scene in which Hector tells her about how he tried to cry when his and Uther's parents died, but he simply was unable to.
* TheHero: In her quest. After that, she becomes a combination of TheLancer and TheChick to Eliwood and Hector.
* IaijutsuPractitioner: While her sword skills aren't ''called'' "iaijutsu" in the game itself, her attack animations makes it pretty damn clear what real life influences went into her swordplay.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: With Hector of the BelligerentSexualTension variety. They get a fair amount of ShipTease and even more scenes together in Hector Mode. Players are free to pair her up with whoever they want out of Florina, Kent, Eliwood, Hector or Rath through the support system. Alternatively, the player could opt to pair her with no one at all.
* InfinityMinusOneSword: The Mani Katti may not be statistically as uber as some of the late game weapons, but it's damned close: Armor- and cavalry-slaying abilities, along with high durability, is pretty much the reason Lyn is known for flinging [[CriticalHit critical hits]], and for ranked runs, it costs nothing from the Funds rank. It even gets repaired for free in [[TimeSkip the interim]] between chapters 10 and 11, and could very well last for the rest of the game even ''without'' an emergency Hammerne repair. If anything, it's actually a lot better than the Sol Katti.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: Sadly downplayed; the Sol Katti is pretty disappointing. [[spoiler:Lyn's entire game revolves around making enemies whiff their attacks to counteract her weak defenses, and with over four times the weight of the Mani Katti slowing her down (in the final chapter, which has ruthlessly strong enemies as it is), that's not gonna happen. On the plus side, due to her low strength, the Sol Katti's damage boost against the final boss is the only thing that allows her to scratch it. Hope that high critical kicks in; you'll need it.]]
** It finally becomes played straight in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' however, as that doesn't use the Weight stat, and the sword has had its other stats retweaked; in exchange for 5 Might and its effectiveness against Dragons, it now boasts a monstrous ''base 50% CriticalHit rate'' (it had 25% in ''Blazing Sword''). You can even give it to DLC Lyn for good measure, who comes fresh from the Internet with a skillset made for Crit-slinging.
* LadyOfWar: Pretty badass swordfighter, without losing any grace.
* ManlyTears: She isn't afraid to cry when she feels like it. Even Hector is surprised that she would cry so easily by remembering her parents, thinking she would prefer to hide it.
* NiceGirl: Lyn is constantly described as kind, and she does indeed go out of her way to help those in need without any request for compensation. The only people she's unkind to are lawless criminals (due to her DoomedHometown, and even then she recognises there are good people among them), and people who hurt or oppress those in need.
* NobleSavage: See ProudWarriorRace below and NiceGirl above.
** CloserToEarth: Known for her hunting, tracking, and survival skills from living on the plains on her own. In the ending if she doesn't marry Eliwood or Hector, she returns to live out the rest of her days on the Sacae plains again.
* PlatonicLifePartners[=/=]HeterosexualLifePartners: with the tactician, considering they've known each other the longest (not including her actual ChildhoodFriend that is).
* [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Proud Warrior Race Girl]]: The moment Marquess Araphen began insulting her heritage, she decided his help wasn't worth the trouble.
* RapunzelHair: Her ponytail almost reaches knee-level length. One wonders how it looks when she lets it down.
* RebelliousPrincess: Somewhat. She does make an effort to please the Caelin court, but ultimately can't let go of her Sacaen instincts.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Lundgren falsely informs Hausen that Lyndis was killed near the end of Lyn's tale.
* RescueRomance: If you pair her with Rath, who saved her from an assassin right before chapter 7 starts.
* ShesGotLegs: Her outfit has double slits to show her long and shapely legs.
* ShipperOnDeck: In "Four Fanged Offense," she hurries away to gather information. When Hector complains that they're leaving Eliwood and Ninian behind, her response is "So? We don't want to be in the way, do we?... Teeheehee... You mean to tell me you don't see it?"
* SlapSlapKiss: Her relationship with Hector, which can evolve into romance if she has an A Support with him.
* ThemeNaming:
** She's born into a family in which all of the girls have the name "Lyn" somewhere in their name, as the name is present in her grandmother (who she is named after), and in the name of her mother Madelyn.
** Also extends to her main weapons. The "Mani" in Mani Katti and "Sol" in Sol Katti are named after the [[Myth/NorseMythology Norse gods]] of the moon and sun respectively, roughly translating them to "Katana of the Moon" and "Katana of the Sun".
* VitriolicBestBuds: If she and Hector don't become romantically inclined, then they become this.
* VocalDissonance: She is voiced by Creator/LaniMinella in the English version of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', who provides a voice for Lyn that makes her sound 3 times her age. This is [[AvertedTrope averted]] in the Japanese version and in VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes, where Creator/MakikoOhmoto and Creator/WendeeLee gave her a more youthful voice.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: What Wallace says, word for word, upon seeing her.
--> '''Wallace''': I've been a knight for 30 years, and there's one thing I learned. A person with eyes as bright and true as yours is no deceiver.
* WillNotTellALie: Like all Sacaeans, she is too proud to lie.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Not Lyn herself, but the Sol Katti got hit with this in the North American localization. It's supposed to be a katana similar to the Mani Katti -- even the menu sprite is just a PaletteSwap of it -- but in the unique animation it was given, it's a rapier [[{{BFS}} twice as long as she is tall]]. ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening's'' design makes more sense, looking like a cross between [[http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130420183730/fireemblem/images/8/88/Sol_KattiAwakening.jpg a katana and a large scimitar]].
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dark green hair.

In contrast Eliwood only met Lyn briefly 1 year before the main plot and Hector only meets her when she is reintroduced into the plot in Eliwood/Hector's story. [[note]]It is possible that Hector meets Lyn before Eliwood does, as Hector does appear as an in-house NPC during the chapter where Lyn and Eliwood meet, and Lyn might engage this scene before meeting Eliwood (which happens after the chapter is completed)[[/note]]

The young son of Lord Elbert, Marquess Pherae, Eliwood grew up surrounded by the complex politics of the Lycian League. Under the watchful eye of his parents, OldRetainer Marcus, and his father's close friends among the lords, he became an even-tempered and compassionate man, self-conscious and aware of the world. He met Lyn during her travels and provided her with crucial political aid which enabled her to unite with her grandfather. When his father disappeared a year later, he chose to search him out with the aid of a few trusted soldiers and subsequently discovered evidence of a terrible plot that threatened the stability of not only Elibe, but of the entire world.
[[spoiler:Many years after the conclusion of the game, he is married (possibly to Ninian, Lyn, or Fiora) and fathers Roy, protagonist of ''Sword of Seals''.]]

----
* AscendedExtra: He debuted in ''The Binding Blade'', where outside being a bonus unit in the trial maps and a few scarce mentions in support conversations and the ending, he disappeared from the game after the prologue. Come this game and he's made TheProtagonist.
* BashBrothers: With Hector. He becomes this with Lyn later as well.
* BirdsOfAFeather: In his supports with Fiora.
* [[CallingTheOldManOut Calling The Old Woman Out]]: Not his own, but in what is probably his ''greatest'' display of Badassery, he [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome 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.
* CharacterDevelopment: He learns to come to terms with the harsh realities of the world, while still keeping to his beliefs and morals. It's not as extensive as Hector or Lyn's arc, but it's there.
* TheConfidant: Is the only person that Lyn opens about her insecurities about her new role as the princess of Caelin in her B-Support, she even ask him about how to instruct her on how to be a proper lady.
* CoolHorse: He gets one upon promoting to Knight Lord.
* 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)]].
* DoomedByCanon: His wife, whoever you pick, will be dead by the time Fire Emblem 6 starts.
* TheDulcineaEffect: Why he rescues Ninian in chapter 7.
* EarlyBirdCameo: When he [[spoiler:rescues Ninian and aids Lyn politically]] in her Tale.
* FutureBadass: Becomes ruler of Pherae and a well-respected voice in the Lycian League.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: His C support with Hector reveals that, despite having weapon triangle advantage against Hector, Eliwood has only beaten Hector about half the time in their bi-monthly duels, which is exactly what you would expect given their respective growth rates.
%%* TheHero: Of the overall game.
* HeroicBSOD: Has two: one when [[spoiler:his father dies]], and another when [[spoiler:he accidentally kills Ninian while she is in dragon form]]. To his everlasting credit, he does ''not'' allow his grief to distract him when others are in need, and recovers quickly enough to rejoin the fight. In fact, in Hector's story, the chapters immediately following both [=BSOD=]s actually ''make'' you use him to drive the point home. The man might be sensitive, but don't you ''dare'' accuse him of {{Wangst}}.
* HeroesPreferSwords: The Rapier being his specialty.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Hector. Nothing short of a debilitating illness could stop the two from rushing to the other's side, during times of need. What hammers this point home is that ''only'' Eliwood has special dialogue, when he's deployed during Hector's trial. Take note that there are two deployment slots on normal mode, and ''one'' in Hector Hard mode.
-->'''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
* ImpliedLoveInterest: 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, Fiora, through the support system, or just let him marry an anonymous villager.
** 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.]]
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: When you can [[spoiler:stare down a ruthless mass murderer, one who [[LackOfEmpathy has no empathy for others]], who has mocked you for [[LetsYouAndHimFight accidentally killing a young girl you grew close to/fell in love with]], and [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids who tears down his former best friend while scoffing at the value of friendship]], and ''still'' declare that you do not hate him for what he's done, but pity him instead]], then you ''know'' you're at least on the ''way'' towards this trope.
* JackOfAllStats: Designed to be the balanced Lord between [[MightyGlacier Hector]] and [[FragileSpeedster Lyndis]], Eliwood's stat distribution is evenly spread out. Unfortunately, the distribution is also thin, and it results in a very inconsistent unit; between playthroughs, he might end up [[MasterOfNone being good at nothing]] or [[LightningBruiser being one of your best characters]], with little to no middle ground.
* KnightInShiningArmour: He seems to be one in the early stages of the game (though a less naive one than usual). As he bears witness to the more ruthless aspects of humanity during his journey, however, he becomes more of a...
* KnightInSourArmour: Yet even then, he doesn't go to the extreme of this trope.
* TheLeader: A charismatic sort. The whole plot begins with his closest friends and knights following the trail of his missing father. He grows into being...
** TheHeart: In Hector's story especially where he is a SupportingLeader and {{Deuteragonist}} to Hector.
* TheLoad: In his story, he can't promote until after Cog of Destiny, and there's a good chance he'll hit Level 20 ''long'' before that. By then, sending him into the front-lines would be a waste of XP, and as enemies get stronger, defending him might become a problem as well.
* MageKiller: The one thing Eliwood consistently has over Hector and Lyndis. Eliwood's base resistance, like the others, is a plain 0, but his growth is pretty good for a physical unit. If it kicks in, he will usually fare better against spellcasters.
* NiceGuy: One of the kindest and most forgiving protagonists in the franchise, at that - only Marth and Roy can ''truly'' give him a run for his money. Unfortunately, this does make him ''seem'' like a pushover to some, but he's really not
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Hector's Red, despite what their hair would make you think.
* ReluctantWarrior: He'll fight for the sake of justice and peace, but he doesn't particularly enjoy it especially when innocents get involved in the "foolish politics" of nobles.
* RescueRomance: If he has an A Support with [[spoiler:Ninian]].
* RousseauWasRight: He seems to believe this, even after meeting many evil or unstable people on his journey. [[spoiler:At the end of the game, he expresses his belief -- towards the more [[JadeColouredGlasses jaded Nils and Ninian]] -- that the day will eventually come when humans and dragons can together live in peace once more]].
** And [[spoiler:[[HeartwarmingInHindsight he may have lived to see that day, thanks to his son]].]]
* RoyalRapier: His WeaponOfChoice.
* SayMyName
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The sensitive guy to Hector's manly man.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Has this kind of conversation in the opening to Chapter 13.x, where the army is passing through Pherae. He reminesces about Lyn, and Hector immediately begins teasing him.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Sort of. The closest he ever comes to committing an evil act is when he is doped up on Durandal's magic. Like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Greil,]] [[spoiler:he ends up killing the woman who loves him.]]
* TenderTears: He has this when his dad dies.
* TheWisePrince: A textbook example.

The younger brother of Uther, the Marquess of Ostia. His parents died of illness when he was a young boy, so his brother is more of a father figure to him. Hector is restless, hot-blooded, and loyal to a fault; thus, as soon as he hears word of Elbert's disappearance, he appeals to Uther and tells him to do something about it. When Uther refuses, his time consumed by trying to ease tensions with Bern, he and the spy Matthew run away from the castle, and are ambushed by the Black Fang; once that's dealt with, they're joined by the knight Oswin and the cleric Serra, and Hector fully throws himself into the investigation of the Black Fang.
[[spoiler:After the game's conclusion, he succeeds his brother as Marquess Ostia and head of Lycia, is married (among the possible candidates are Lyn, Florina, and Farina), and fathers Lilina of Sword of Seals.]]

----
* AnAxeToGrind: Specializes in axes.
* AnimalMotifs: Though implied rather lightly, his can be considered to be the wolf. Reinforced by his WeaponOfChoice, Wolf Beil.
* ArtifactOfDoom: Armads, which leads its bearer into a violent death. Not that he cares, so long as he can protect his friends.
* AscendedExtra: Compare his miniscule role in ''Binding Blade'' to his status as {{Deuteragonist}} here.
* BadassBeard: In the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue.
** Prior to that, his B support with Eliwood clairvoyantly lampshades said future beard.
* BashBrothers: With Eliwood. He becomes this with Lyn later as well.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Develops one of these towards Nils.
* BreakoutCharacter: Hector was so popular with fans that [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Ike]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Chrom]] was modeled off of him, according to [[WordOfGod the creators]].
* BrilliantButLazy: Hector's technique is far from refined, and he wasn't the most attentive during his classes, but if Erik is to believed, his natural talent garnered him praise from his instructors anyway.
** As mentioned in DumbMuscle: He's far from stupid and is well versed in nobility and political methods; but as Hector is a man who prefers to get to the point than to bother with tact; he's likely to create his own way forward. In other words; he CAN be as refined as Eliwood; but he feels that it takes too much time to get to the point, so he goes through it head first. Matthew and Oswin in their supports actually admire this trait to him.
* BruiserWithASoftCentre: He can seem careless and brusque at first, but he's quite a nice guy so long as you don't give him reason to dislike you. His friends tease him for it, to the point of it being a RunningGag, like when he apologises to the Tactician (in his own route) for his hasty judgement of his/her abilities, [[TheVoiceless the unheard response to it]] leads to him complaining: "Why does no one think I've got anything nice to say?!"
* BrutalHonesty: Listening to him interact with others makes it clear he care more about getting to the point than things like "tact" or "manners".
* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of the story, he slowly wisens up, and learns how to take responsibility for his own actions, once he realizes how much his brother has done for him.
* CoolSword: He gains swords when he promotes.
* DoomedByCanon: His wife, just like Eliwood's, will be dead before Fire Emblem 6 starts. [[spoiler:He also becomes this early into the plot of ''Fuin'']].
* 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.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He is in a house on the right side of the level where [[SpoonyBard Nils]] first joins the team. 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 has different dialogue.
* EverybodyHatesMathematics:
-->'''Eliwood:''' We’ve been sparring once every two months since we were twelve, and of 30 matches, 14 I won, 12 I lost, and 4 were draws.\\
'''Hector:''' Eh? I think not! I recall 31 matches- an even 13-13 split, with 5 draws!\\
'''Eliwood:''' Yes, well, you recall wrong. I’m in the right.\\
'''Hector:''' Hmph. And what makes you so certain?\\
'''Eliwood:''' Whose snoring was it that shook the rafters in number class?\\
'''Hector:''' Ah, good point.
* {{Expy}}: Once you look into it, you'll realize he has a lot of similarities to Lex from ''Genealogy of the Holy War''. [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Blue hair]]? Check. AnAxeToGrind? Check. HotBlooded? Check. LeeroyJenkins? Check. Vaguely rebellious noble? Check.
** Male Fire Emblem protagonists generally come in two vague flavors, the TheWisePrince type originally founded by Marth, and the more down-to-earth, blunt and BrutalHonesty-favoring type. If Hector isn't the founder of the second type (since Sigurd from ''Genealogy'' arguably lies square in between both types, and as mentioned above, Lex from the same game is basically Hector minus his Lord status), his high popularity at the very least had a notable impact on the creation of later Lords like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Ike]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Chrom]].
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Him and Eliwood. Nothing short of a debilitating illness could stop the two from rushing to each other's aid when the other is in a pinch. What hammers this point home is that only Hector has special dialogue, when deployed in Eliwood's trial; a chapter with 4 deployment slots, on normal.
* HotBlooded: If you hurt his brother or any member of his army, he will come after you.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Hector towers over Lyn, Florina, and Farina; his potential wives.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: With Lyn of the BelligerentSexualTension variety. They get a fair amount of ShipTease and even more scenes together in Hector Mode. If he and Lyn don't become romantically inclined, then it's VitriolicBestBuds. He's also free to marry Florina or Farina through the support system, or an anonymous NPC.
* KnightInSourArmour: He knows the world's a pretty messed-up place, but damn if he's going to stand by idly and let terrible things just happen!
* TheLancer: In Eliwood's story; also TheBigGuy.
** TheHero: In his own.
* LeeroyJenkins: Hector isn't big on the whole planning thing most of the time, but not to the point of endangering the rest of the group.
** Lampshaded by Athos: "Your recklessness may one day be your undoing..." [[spoiler:It is. He goes down swinging very early in ''Sword of Seals''.]]
* TheLoad: Of all the people, him in his story. By the time he reaches level twenty, you have a large chunk of the game to go, before he can promote. Not only are there more chapters in his story, but with his poor movement, guiding him to a throne on a seize map can get somewhat annoying. That he tends to be a better fighter than Eliwood only exacerbates this problem, [[CrutchCharacter encouraging you to use him more often and pushing him towards the level cap even faster while stealing XP from your other units.]]
%%* MightyGlacier: If the RNG screws you up, you get a decent knight, that can take hits, though won't counter-attack often.
* NotAfraidToDie: A warning that he's going to die violently if he ever takes up Armads? Hector gives no crap about that if that means he gets to help Eliwood stopping Nergal. [[spoiler:He goes down swinging later in ''Sealed Sword'', but never once did he show any fear about dying.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Discussed. When trouble happens in Ostia, Eliwood asks him if being absent from court would be taken as a sign of something being wrong; Hector counters that he has a reputation as a lout, and his presence at court would be a ''guarantee'' that something is wrong.
* OverprotectiveDad: Read his and Eli's B support and you'll know why. [[spoiler:Sadly, doesn't prevent his death at Zephiel's hands in Sword of Seals. His FamousLastWords are a plea for Roy to help Lilina out.]]
* PapaWolf: Never ''ever'' slight one of his friends. And this doesn't only extend to Eliwood or Lyn, either. After all, he straight-up tells [[spoiler:Jaffar]] that he hasn't forgiven [[spoiler:his killing of Leila]], and says he'll kill him with his own hands if he steps out of line.
** 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.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: His parents died of tuberculosis when he was a child, so his brother became a surrogate parent to him. [[spoiler:Uther later dies from the same illness]].
* PetTheDog: Decides to give Nils a ride on his shoulders when he sees the boy struggling to get through Nabata. Though the boy was sort of reluctant and surprised, remember that Hector is wearing loud, heavy, ''sweaty'' armour in the desert, and giving someone a piggyback is ''not'' going to make movement easier.
* [[spoiler:PowerAtAPrice: Gaining the power of the legendary axe Armads... will lead to Hector dying on the battlefield, sooner or later. Canonically later.]]
* PrecisionFStrike: Never lets loose any major swear words, but he curses quite a lot in the story and is pretty creative with insults.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red Oni to Eliwood, Oswin, ''and'' Uther.
* SiblingYinYang: Hector is [[HotBlooded hot blooded]], his older brother Uther is [[TheStoic stoic]] and [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]].
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The manly man to Eliwood's sensitive guy.
** Also played for laughs when they first meet Hannah.
-->'''Hannah:''' Hee hee hee... A world of trouble you've landed yourself in, yes?\\
'''Hector:''' Who-!? You startled me, old woman! You should get out of here. This is going to be a bad place to stay if you plan on living.\\
'''Hannah:''' I want to see the one searching for his father. Marquess Pherae's son.\\
'''Hector:''' Listen up, old woman! You're close to death as it is! Quit your yammering and move on!\\
'''Eliwood:''' Hector! You should mind your manners. I am Eliwood. May I ask your name, milady?\\
'''Hannah:''' Ho ho ho. What a polite young man.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Nergal himself admits that Hector choosing to aid Eliwood's search was ''the'' determining factor in his defeat.
* SpiritualSuccessor: While Hector, like all Lycian nobles, is a blood descendant of Roland like Eliwood, he ultimately claims not Durandal but the axe of the Berserker Durban. When he fights and defeats the undead guardian of the legendary axe, who served Durban in life, it passes on while praising his great strength, and implying that that alone has truly made him fit to carry the weapon rather than lineage.
* SupportingProtagonist: In his mode; note that although [[PerspectiveFlip he's now the viewpoint character]], it's still Eliwood all the important plot stuff happens to.
* TranquilFury: ''"You see, I'm about as angry as I've ever been."''
* UnskilledButStrong: Taught himself to fight, and his style is noted as being reckless and unrefined by knights' standards. Doesn't stop him from hacking down pretty much anything in his path.
* WhatTheHellHero: He gives one to his brother for staying neutral while the other marquesses make their decision to rebel.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

Daughter of Madelyn, princess of Caelin, and Hassan, chief of the nomadic Lorca tribe, Lyn grew up without a care in the world on the plains of her father's homeland, Sacae. All of that changed when her home was pillaged by a brutal group of bandits, the Taliver, who left fewer than ten people alive. Forced to survive on her own, Lyn's life changes for the better when she comes across a [[HelloInsertNameHere certain strategist]], and before she knows it, she is caught up in a game of war and political intrigue once she learns of her royal heritage. After thwarting the ambitions of her evil great uncle, Lundgren, Lyn lives in peace with her grandfather, Lord Hausen. That is, until a year later, when Caelin becomes entangled in Nergal's scheme.
->'''Class:''' Lord ([=FE7=]), Swordmaster (''Awakening'')

----
* AmbiguouslyBi: Depending on how you interpret her ending with Florina.
* AgeLift: A blink-and-you'll-miss-it example: in the Japanese version of ''Blazing Sword'', she's 15 years old at the start of the game and 16 after the time skip. In the North American version, she's 18 and then 19.
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: If Lyn has a A-Support with Eliwood at the start of Battle Preparations, she give him one at the start the chapter, saying that she had fallen in love with him because he was strong enough to remain kind-hearted despite the [[spoiler:deaths of both his father and Ninian, the latter was unintended and by his own hands]] and move forward, the result of this unexpected confession when Hector calls out to them, make Lyn leave in hurry, and Eliwood red-faced. Also, this will automatically start, unlike the optional conversation in Hector's story
* BashBrothers: With Eliwood and Hector later.
* BeYourself: In her A-Support, after letting her insecurities about her noble heritage overwhelm her to the point that she actually ashamed of her Sacean blood, Eliwood said that she is a strong woman, and that she doesn't change any part of herself
* BerserkButton: The Talliver Bandits, who slaughtered her people, are a major one, as are most bandits and pirates; she's initially pissed when Eliwood even considers asking pirates for help getting to the Dread Isle (later though, she acknowledges that Fargus' crew are genuinely "good people" despite their profession).
* {{BFS}}: The Sol Katti, her ultimate weapon... at least in the North American localization. It's no longer than any other of her swords in the original.
** A couple of DummiedOut combat sprites suggest that at some point in development, she was able to wield Durandal as well. In this case, it's an inversion, however, as the Durandal is ''downsized'' in this animation, especially compared to when Eliwood uses it.
%%* {{Bokukko}}
* 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 Sword''.
* BowAndSwordInAccord: Starts out with swords, then gains the ability to use bows upon promotion to Blade Lord.
* ButNotTooForeign: Half-Lycian, half-Sacaean.
* TheChosenOne: The chosen wielder of the Mani Katti, as dictated by the weapon itself. Evidently, in all the years she prayed at the shrine before the events of the game, she never once actually ''touched'' the sword...
** The priest's dialogue does imply that getting to actually touch the sword is something of a special privilege, so it's understandable.
* DeadGuyJunior: Named for her grandfather's late wife.
* DemotedToExtra: Downplayed. She's not exactly irrelevant after her tale, but she doesn't hold quite as much importance to the overarching plot as Hector or Eliwood. She still contributes greatly to the army, however, and remains a valuable member of the group.
* DoomedByCanon: If you pair her up with [[spoiler:Eliwood]] or [[spoiler:Hector]], this is what likely happens since [[spoiler:Eliwood's wife passes on]] before the events of ''Sword of Seals'' while [[spoiler:Hector's wife is never mentioned]].
** WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In all other endings, with [[spoiler:Caelin folding into Ostia]], she heads back to Sacae (with her A Support partner if you gave her one). After that, she's never mentioned or heard from again. (Given what Zephiel does to Sacae, though, she's probably still Doomed by Canon.)
* DoomedHometown: Her people were nomads, so the eradication of all but a few Lorca was essentially this for her.
* DoppelgangerSpin: Present in all of her sword-wielding criticals. The Sol Katti critical adds BladeSpam to the mix.
%%* FragileSpeedster: Usually ends up as this, depending on how good the RandomNumberGod is to you.
%%* LightningBruiser: If she manages to get an actual defense stat.
* {{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.
* HeWillNotCrySoICryForHim: In a Hector's story exclusive scene that can only be seen by pairing her with Hector, right before the final battle, [[spoiler:after Eliwood confirms to her that what Nergal said to Hector is true,]] she cries in place of Hector [[spoiler:for his recently deceased older brother Uther]], in a Shout Out to an earlier scene in which Hector tells her about how he tried to cry when his and Uther's parents died, but he simply was unable to.
* TheHero: In her quest. After that, she becomes a combination of TheLancer and TheChick to Eliwood and Hector.
* IaijutsuPractitioner: While her sword skills aren't ''called'' "iaijutsu" in the game itself, her attack animations makes it pretty damn clear what real life influences went into her swordplay.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: With Hector of the BelligerentSexualTension variety. They get a fair amount of ShipTease and even more scenes together in Hector Mode. Players are free to pair her up with whoever they want out of Florina, Kent, Eliwood, Hector or Rath through the support system. Alternatively, the player could opt to pair her with no one at all.
* InfinityMinusOneSword: The Mani Katti may not be statistically as uber as some of the late game weapons, but it's damned close: Armor- and cavalry-slaying abilities, along with high durability, is pretty much the reason Lyn is known for flinging [[CriticalHit critical hits]], and for ranked runs, it costs nothing from the Funds rank. It even gets repaired for free in [[TimeSkip the interim]] between chapters 10 and 11, and could very well last for the rest of the game even ''without'' an emergency Hammerne repair. If anything, it's actually a lot better than the Sol Katti.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: Sadly downplayed; the Sol Katti is pretty disappointing. [[spoiler:Lyn's entire game revolves around making enemies whiff their attacks to counteract her weak defenses, and with over four times the weight of the Mani Katti slowing her down (in the final chapter, which has ruthlessly strong enemies as it is), that's not gonna happen. On the plus side, due to her low strength, the Sol Katti's damage boost against the final boss is the only thing that allows her to scratch it. Hope that high critical kicks in; you'll need it.]]
** It finally becomes played straight in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' however, as that doesn't use the Weight stat, and the sword has had its other stats retweaked; in exchange for 5 Might and its effectiveness against Dragons, it now boasts a monstrous ''base 50% CriticalHit rate'' (it had 25% in ''Blazing Sword''). You can even give it to DLC Lyn for good measure, who comes fresh from the Internet with a skillset made for Crit-slinging.
* LadyOfWar: Pretty badass swordfighter, without losing any grace.
* ManlyTears: She isn't afraid to cry when she feels like it. Even Hector is surprised that she would cry so easily by remembering her parents, thinking she would prefer to hide it.
* NiceGirl: Lyn is constantly described as kind, and she does indeed go out of her way to help those in need without any request for compensation. The only people she's unkind to are lawless criminals (due to her DoomedHometown, and even then she recognises there are good people among them), and people who hurt or oppress those in need.
* NobleSavage: See ProudWarriorRace below and NiceGirl above.
** CloserToEarth: Known for her hunting, tracking, and survival skills from living on the plains on her own. In the ending if she doesn't marry Eliwood or Hector, she returns to live out the rest of her days on the Sacae plains again.
* PlatonicLifePartners[=/=]HeterosexualLifePartners: with the tactician, considering they've known each other the longest (not including her actual ChildhoodFriend that is).
* [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Proud Warrior Race Girl]]: The moment Marquess Araphen began insulting her heritage, she decided his help wasn't worth the trouble.
* RapunzelHair: Her ponytail almost reaches knee-level length. One wonders how it looks when she lets it down.
* RebelliousPrincess: Somewhat. She does make an effort to please the Caelin court, but ultimately can't let go of her Sacaen instincts.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Lundgren falsely informs Hausen that Lyndis was killed near the end of Lyn's tale.
* RescueRomance: If you pair her with Rath, who saved her from an assassin right before chapter 7 starts.
* ShesGotLegs: Her outfit has double slits to show her long and shapely legs.
* ShipperOnDeck: In "Four Fanged Offense," she hurries away to gather information. When Hector complains that they're leaving Eliwood and Ninian behind, her response is "So? We don't want to be in the way, do we?... Teeheehee... You mean to tell me you don't see it?"
* SlapSlapKiss: Her relationship with Hector, which can evolve into romance if she has an A Support with him.
* ThemeNaming:
** She's born into a family in which all of the girls have the name "Lyn" somewhere in their name, as the name is present in her grandmother (who she is named after), and in the name of her mother Madelyn.
** Also extends to her main weapons. The "Mani" in Mani Katti and "Sol" in Sol Katti are named after the [[Myth/NorseMythology Norse gods]] of the moon and sun respectively, roughly translating them to "Katana of the Moon" and "Katana of the Sun".
* VitriolicBestBuds: If she and Hector don't become romantically inclined, then they become this.
* VocalDissonance: She is voiced by Creator/LaniMinella in the English version of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', who provides a voice for Lyn that makes her sound 3 times her age. This is [[AvertedTrope averted]] in the Japanese version and in VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes, where Creator/MakikoOhmoto and Creator/WendeeLee gave her a more youthful voice.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: What Wallace says, word for word, upon seeing her.
--> '''Wallace''': I've been a knight for 30 years, and there's one thing I learned. A person with eyes as bright and true as yours is no deceiver.
* WillNotTellALie: Like all Sacaeans, she is too proud to lie.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Not Lyn herself, but the Sol Katti got hit with this in the North American localization. It's supposed to be a katana similar to the Mani Katti -- even the menu sprite is just a PaletteSwap of it -- but in the unique animation it was given, it's a rapier [[{{BFS}} twice as long as she is tall]]. ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening's'' design makes more sense, looking like a cross between [[http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130420183730/fireemblem/images/8/88/Sol_KattiAwakening.jpg a katana and a large scimitar]].
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dark green hair.
