History Characters / FireEmblemTheBlazingBladeTheLords

* AdvertisedExtra: Downplayed. Lyn is often used to represent ''The Blazing Blade'' in advertisements and was prominently featured in non-''Blazing Blade'' media, all of which makes one think she's the lead character in her game. In the actual game, her most significant role in the story is her own tale, as the main campaign is instead largely focused on Eliwood/Hector. However, she did get two more chapters in the spotlight before regulating into a slightly smaller role, though she is still important to the overall narrative and has her lord-like qualities (i.e. her death causing a Game Over).

* PlatonicLifePartners[=/=]HeterosexualLifePartners: With the tactician, considering they've known each other the longest (not including her actual ChildhoodFriend that is).

* 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.
** Oddly enough, despite the other ''Fire Emblem'' characters--Fighters and Assist Trophies--in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' receiving their updated voices circa later games or ''Heroes'', Lyn still retains her ''Brawl'' voice.

* SavedByCanon: Eliwood is the only one of the trio that survives both this game and ''The Binding Blade'', as aside from fathering Roy and returning as an NPC, he also spends the majority of the latter game [[PutOnABus still alive albeit offscreen]].

** 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.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: From a purely visual stand-point, she's one to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Fir]]. She shares the same ponytail and green-clothed myrmidon motif (minus Fir's jacket) and even has a very similar build. Given that Fir is part Sacaen, this may even be a CallBack.

Tropes pertaining to Eliwood and Hector (But not Lyn) in ''The Binding Blade'' can go [[Characters/FireEmblemTheBindingBladePlayableCharacters here]].

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

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

* AgeLift: A blink-and-you'll-miss-it example: in the Japanese version of ''Blazing Blade'', 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.

* PaperThinDisguise: Tensions between Lycia and Bern make it unsafe for Lycian nobles to travel to Bern. So when they have to travel to Bern, they disguise themselves as commoners... by putting on cloaks over their noble attire.

* DependingOnTheArtist: The design of the Sol Katti is very inconsistent. In the game, the Sol Katti's weapon icon is a sword with a red hilt, which ''Warriors'' depicts as dragon wings. However, Lyn's battle sprite when wielding Sol Katti resembles a rapier with a handguard covering her hand. And in ''Awakening'', the weapon is a golden scimitar with a small handguard and a sun at the end of the hilt. While ''Heroes'' uses the Sol Katti's design in ''Awakening'', ''Warriors'' uses the Sol Katti's design based on the weapon icon in the original game.

* {{Bokukko}}: Talks like this in the Japanese script, and definitely fits the boyish archetype.

* ThreeAmigos: Forms this group. Eliwood is TheHero, Hector is TheLancer, and Lyn fills TheSmurfettePrinciple. Unusually for this trope, Lyn can serve as the LoveInterest to either one of the two heroes, end up with someone else, or end up single.

* TheDulcineaEffect: Why he rescues Ninian in chapter 7.

* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Unlike Eliwood, whose son Roy is quite a dead-ringer to him even trait-wise, gender difference aside, Hector would be quite different than his daughter Lilina: He's a HotBlooded giant man, she's a reserved and a bit shy of a lady. He's a physical juggernaut, she's a talented magic prodigy... even though Hector's possible spouses are all physical fighting ladies, though it may make more sense if his spouse is an anonymous NPC, which may be a non-combatant.

* AgeLift: A blink-and-you'll-miss-it example: in the Japanese version of ''Blazing Blade'', 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.

* 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. Curiously, it never showed up in ''Awakening'', and has yet to be a weapon option for Lyn in ''Heroes''.

* RescueRomance: If you pair her with Rath, who saved her from an assassin right before chapter 7 starts.

* AdvertisedExtra: Downplayed. Lyn is often used to represent ''The Blazing Blade'' in advertisements and was prominently featured in non-''Blazing Blade'' media, all of which makes one think she's the lead character in her game. In the actual game, her most significant role in the story is her own tale, as the main campaign is instead largely focused on Eliwood/Hector. However, she did get two more chapters in the spotlight before regulating into a slightly smaller role, though she still has her lord-like qualities (i.e. her death causing a Game Over).

* AdvertisedExtra: Downplayed. Lyn is often used to represent ''The Blazing Blade'' in advertisements and various non-''Blazing Blade'' media, appears in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series as an assist trophy, and also appears in ''Fire Emblem Warriors'' and ''Engage'', all of which makes one think she's the lead character in her game. In the actual game, however, she's the least important out of the three lords, with the most contribution she has to the plot of ''Blazing Blade'' is during her tale (which simply acts as a tutorial with little connection to the main campaign). Once she returns in the main campaign, she only had two more chapters in the spotlight before existing solely to provide cutscene dialogue. That being said, unlike most characters who become irrelevant upon joining your army, she was not written out from the plot entirely, and retains her lord-like qualities (i.e. her death causing a Game Over).
