Added DiffLines:
* AbusiveParents: Their biological father conceived the Avatar specifically to become to become a vessel for an evil Dragon, as Avatar's paternal line had done for generations. For whatever reason, their biological mother [[DeliverUsFromEvil fled with the baby, and had both of them smuggled out of the country]]. It's unknown if their mother was Grimleal or not.
* AccidentalMarriage: From a meta-standpoint, a female Avatar can end up in one with Chrom if the player is unaware that the game automatically marries Chrom to his highest unmarried female support if he's still single in Chapter 11.
* AccidentalPervert: Inverted in a female Avatar's A support with Chrom, where she walks in on him naked. [[RunningGag She also does it to Gaius and Say'ri]].
* TheAce: Their ability to master a huge number of classes in the game, support with every character, and be TheStrategist of the force simultaneously lands the Avatar quite firmly in this trope. [[spoiler:Also deconstructed in that they're bred to ''be'' the perfect vessel for Grima.]]
* ActionDad: A married Male Avatar is this to Female Morgan by default and any of the future children should he marry their mothers. They can also be an ActionMom to Male Morgan and potentially Lucina if playing female.
* ActionGenreHeroGuy: One of the male Avatar's character creation options involves picking the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robin_action_hero.png Type 03 build and the buzz-cut hair]].
* AdaptationalCurves: The Ylissean Summer Robin is much more buxom than the model for the Avatar she's based off of. Also, the Fallen Heroes version of male Robin is very muscular, although it's hard to say whether it's truly an example of this trope or a case of ClarkKentOutfit.
* AdaptationalWimp: See {{Flanderization}} below for more details on how each game since ''Awakening'' has changed their fighting style. However, in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', both Avatars lose their MasterOfAll potential, becoming simple Tome users with none of their physical attributes being present.
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: There are three different builds per gender to choose from: adult, late teen... and this. Which leads to LoliconAndShotacon when the supports come into play... However, [[VocalDissonance the localization does not have any "deep" or "childish" voices to choose from]], which makes it closer to a young teen, like Ricken.
* {{Ambadassador}}: Both Chrom and the Avatar fill this role during their trip to Regina Ferox and Plegia.
* AmnesiaDanger: Inverted. Despite having amnesia, the Avatar was also surprised about their fighting abilities. Also, this is how they get recruited into the Shepherds as their Tactician.
* AmnesiacHero: Lissa lampshades this, to which Frederick calls BS on the whole EasyAmnesia.
* AmnesiacProtagonistCatalyst: In the game's first chapter, Robin awakens in the middle of a field without any memory of who they are. [[spoiler:Later on, it's revealed that Robin is actually the child of the BigBad, and was conceived to be the vessel of the evil dragon Grima, who is destined to bring chaos and ruin to the world. Now aware that their amnesia is the result of Grima's failed attempt to possess them, the protagonist spends most of the later chapters fighting off the monster's influence and helping the other heroes repel the antagonist's forces]].
* AndIMustScream: Briefly when Grima imprisons the Avatar in a [[NothingIsScarier dark, featureless void]] during the final chapter. The implication is that this is the fate that the Avatar's soul would [[WhoWantsToLiveForever suffer for the rest of eternity]] in the event that they were to become one with Grima.
** The Future Past 3 DLC implies that in the timelines where Grima took over, the Avatar is aware of what's happening, but cannot do anything to break through and stop the mayhem... and at that point, it's been several years for that iteration of them.
* AnimeHair: The available hairstyle options can be this to an extent, especially for the female Avatar, though they're tamer than other instances of this trope.
* AntiChrist: The Avatar is the ChosenOne that will become the vessel for Grima, this universe's equivalent of Satan in the BadFuture.
* AntiAntiChrist: They are a kind and gentle person at heart, and do ''not'' want what's described above to happen.
* ApocalypseMaiden: The world goes to hell if Avatar gets possessed by Grima. In the BadFuture, the possession is successful. In the present, they manage to successfully avert this fate for the Avatar. Alas, Grima has a backup plan... and it's up to everyone to stop it.
* ArchnemesisDad: [[spoiler:Validar is their father, and one of the antagonists. Their future self will become this to their future children after they were possessed by Grima, but subverted with the playable Avatar, who cares about their children]].
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: How the Avatar ended up as the Shepherds's strategist.
* AudienceSurrogate: Amnesia and a balanced personality sets the Avatar up as the vital viewpoint character.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: The Avatar (AKA the player) is able to "see" things such as the enemy's stats, weapons, the chance of hitting, evading, or critting between two attacking parties, etc.
* BackFromTheDead: If the Avatar deals the final blow against Grima, they [[BondCreature die too]], but [[PowerofFriendship their bonds with the friends]] they've made over the course of the game prove to be stronger than their connection with Grima. Chrom and Lissa then find the Avatar in much the same way they did at the start of the game, only lacking the Mark of Grima, and the post-credits epilogue reveals that they will be remembered for their valiance and tactical genius. They will also be remembered for being [[HappilyMarried incredibly loving]] to their spouse if they are married.
* BadassAdorable: If the Avatar is styled as an AdorablyPrecociousChild, the player will have a tiny boy or girl showering the enemy in absolute mass destruction.
* BadassBookworm: The Avatar is not only the [[TheStrategist army's tactician]], but a MagicKnight with LightningBruiser potential.
* BadassLongcoat: Wears a black coat/duster with a hood.
* BadassBystander: The prologue sees the amnesiac Avatar as anything but helpless, being able to fight with swords and sorcery along with knowledge of battlefield tactics and awareness.
* BadassBoast: The Avatar's response to chapter 8's crisis. Flavia, the ruler of a country of badasses, appreciatively declares that the Avatar's got balls.
--> '''Avatar:''' I am equal to the challenge.
** In combat, the Avatar additionally can boast after blocking an attack intended for a unit paired with them:
--> '''Avatar:''' *block* "Predictable."
* BashBrothers: The Avatar can have those with any of the other characters of the same gender, though Chrom and the Male Avatar get the most out of it.
* BattleCouple: Can be paired with any playable unit of the opposite sex (except for Morgan, obviously). They have equal (but slow) support growth with all of them.
* BattleHarem: Played with. The Avatar can't start a harem (or reverse harem) story-wise and can only have one S Support with their spouse. However, the game does allow you to remain single and obtain up to A Rank support conversations with every single non-DLC character in the game.
* BerserkButton: The female Avatar is normally a nice, cheerful, if sometimes slightly mischievous woman, but she doesn't take insults to her femininity well, as shown in her C-support with Chrom.
** Another is trying to steal her position as the army's tactician, as shown in her supports with Aversa where she's unusually hostile and competitive.
* BestFriendsInLaw: With Chrom if a male Avatar marries Lissa, Emmeryn, or any one of Chrom's daughters from the future. Also with Chrom if a female Avatar marries a Chrom-fathered Inigo or Brady.
* BigBrotherMentor: In some of their support conversations with the Second Generation characters, the Male Avatar comes off as this.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: If a female Avatar gets short hair, [[https://imgur.com/a/5fSSp she can look rather boyish in a refined way.]] The "default" female body built is especially good for this due to her clothes hiding her figure.
* BlackCloak: Complete with InTheHood, although worn very loosely.
* BlessedWithSuck: Through the means of their family's SuperBreedingProgram, the Avatar is now TheChosenOne that will one day become the SoulJar of the [[PersonOfMassDestruction Dragon of Mass Destruction]] that will bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. The plus side is that they are given SuperpowerfulGenetics allowing them to class change into almost every class and produce absurdly powerful children, as well as being the one person capable of defeating Grima once and for all -- something that even ''[[PhysicalGod Naga]]'' isn't capable of.
* BlingOfWar: The Grandmaster class has the Avatar wearing shiny plate armor underneath a even more badass-looking longcoat.
* BlowYouAway: In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', Female Robin uses Wind tomes, and not the usual Thunder tomes, in order to differ from Male Robin, who does use Thunder tomes.
* BornWinner: As revealed by Validar, the Avatar was born as the perfect vessel to house Grima after generations of failed attempts.
* BornUnlucky: Unfortunately, being Grima's vessel means they are destined to lose their individuality and be responsible for the end of the world. They also must die if they wish to stop Grima forever.
* BossRemix: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjfT4VBLrqE "Id (Hope)"]], which plays for the Future Past DLC bosses, who are all related to the Avatar in some way.
* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: When Lissa pinches the Avatar's nose in their C support with her, they yell this upon waking up from a nightmare:
-->'''Avatar:''' Risen! Wolves! Risen riding wolves!
* CanonName: Robin is their official name, [[DubNameChange though it varies by region.]]
* CastingAShadow: Not in-game, unless reclassed into Dark Mage or Sorcerer, but should you choose to have the Avatar kill Grima permanently, they'll use Grima's Truth to deal the final blow.
* CatchPhrase: "It's time to tip the scales" has become Robin's signature quote in spin-off and crossover media.
* CharacterCustomization: From the Avatar's appearance and voice to their actual class, the possibilities are pretty expansive .
* CherryBlossoms: When [[LimitBreak Ignis]] triggers, it causes their attacks to leave these in its wake, whether it's a physical or magic attack.
* ChessmasterSidekick: By the second act, everyone knows that Ylisse's [[CrazyEnoughToWork increasingly improbable]] streak of victories is due to its exceptionally gifted and staunchly loyal Master Tactician.
* ChickMagnet: The male Avatar can hook up with ''any'' female playable characters, including [=SpotPass=] characters, with the exception of his daughter Morgan for obvious reasons. [[spoiler:Yes, even the amnesiac Exalt Emmeryn and a unbrainwashed Aversa can become his wife and the mother of his child.]]
* TheChosenOne: The Avatar is the chosen vessel of Grima, destined to usher in the end of humanity.
* ClarkKentOutfit: If we take the Fallen Heroes version of male Robin as canon, then Robin is surprisingly muscular under those robes.
* TheComicallySerious: Gets put into a lot of wacky situations in many of their Support Conversations.
** Sometimes it doesn't even have to be ''their'' supports. Getting dusted by Frederick, anyone?
* CoolBigSis: The Female Avatar is generally this towards all the kids from the future.
* CrazyEnoughToWork: A ''lot'' of the strategies in the Walhart arc only work because they are so batshit insane that no one would consider preparing for them. For instance, what do you do when you realize that your navy is ''vastly'' outnumbered by the enemy and you have each of your own ships only half-filled with soldiers, while the enemy ships are each fully manned with dangerous combatants? Simple! Pack all of your soldiers onto one half of your fleet, set the remainder of your own ships ''on fire'', and '''''sail them into the enemy fleet'''''. Multiple characters remark that they can't figure out whether the Avatar is a genius or insane. Or both.
* CrazyPrepared: In Chapter 23, it's revealed that the Avatar somehow knew that Basilio was alive and was using him as a secret agent to perform tasks that the Avatar couldn't do without being noticed, due to Validar's spies being everywhere. This includes ''replacing the stones on the Fire Emblem with fakes'', just in case Validar actually managed to get ahold of it.
* CriticalStatusBuff: Male Robin's Defiant Speed skills in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' provides him with an increase in speed when his health drops below half.
* CrusadingWidow: Can be insinuated as Bad-Future Robin's motivation for abandoning everything and succumbing to Godhood (whereas the Avatar is married to Chrom).
* CutenessProximity: As evidenced by her supports with Panne and Yarne, the female Avatar finds the Taguel simply irresistible.
* CuttingOffTheBranches: An odd case. While all Avatars are valid due to the Outrealms, Robin is generally portrayed in his default Male form. In games where the character appears, he is either the primary form or in some cases, the only form of the character, particularly in comparison to their direct successor, Corrin, and the following protagonist, Byleth. However, in ''Heroes'' and ''Warriors'', the female Robin appears alongside her male counterpart, being a playable character in the latter, and having equal units to the male Robin in the former, and also having more appearances in ''Cipher''. While there is no 'canon' gender of the character like Corrin and Byleth, the male Robin is still the most commonly used across media; WordOfGod states that's simply because [[http://nintendoeverything.com/fire-emblem-warriors-devs-on-female-robin-cordelia-pegasus-knights-gameplay-including-fire-emblem-elements-more/ Male Robin scored higher in popularity polls.]] [[note]]Just like a Female Corrin for ''Fates'' gets a similar spot in Fates-related media, for exactly the same reason.[[/note]]
** Inverted in ''Heroes'' during one of the Tempest events where Female Robin appears as the main Robin against a Grima Possessed Male Robin. The situation proves to be confusing for them both.
-->'''Grima:''' We are one and the same. But we come from different worlds...''Very different''. Perhaps it's due to the intensity of the forces of chaos... I had not anticipated meeting a female self.
-->'''Robin:''' Well, here I am.
* DarkIsNotEvil: They are the avatar of Grima, and do everything in their power to stop it.
* DeadpanSnarker: They have their moments.
--> ''(In response to Maribelle calling them "[[InnocentlyInsensitive lowborn]]":) "Did you just drop by to look down your nose at me, or was there something else?"''
* DeconstructedTrope: Why are they TheAce at everything and can be amazing at any class the player chooses, and pass this inherent greatness onto their children? Because of the selective breeding that gave them their SuperpowerfulGenetics.
* DefiantToTheEnd: To Grima in the final mission, where he threatens to kill all the Avatar's companions if they do not join with him.
* DelicateAndSickly: In a sense. They're prone to fainting spells and exhaustion and other medical problems, but it's easily explained by their {{workaholic}} tendencies and lack of self-care.
* DemonicPossession: In the SpoilerOpening, Validar succeeds in allowing Grima to possess the Avatar.
* DependingOnTheArtist: is the Avatar's default hair color white, grey, silver, or very light blond? Depends on which art or character model you're looking at.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Much emphasis is often placed on how the Avatar is just as important to the success of the mission in the moment as Chrom. While he's the military commander of the Shepherds who leads through strength and example, they are TheStrategist of the group who organizes the battle-plans, and Chrom often consults them for input on how to move forward during the main plot.
* DevelopersDesiredDate:
** As explained above, the Female Avatar and Sumia share this position in regards to Chrom. They remain close even if not married to each other and there are plot consequences that come into play if they are married, and Lucina, if her mother isn't a Female Avatar, will swing between a ShippingTorpedo and a ShipperOnDeck regarding them.
** The Male Avatar is one for Lucina as well, since the plot can be seen as implying that the whole "Lucina's Judgement" scene is far more fitting to a Lucina who's mothered by the Female Avatar '''or''' to one married to a Male one.
** To a lesser extent, thanks to their popularity Gaius is this for the Female Avatar, while Cordelia or Tharja is this for the Male Avatar. All three get more interactions with Robin in the DLC and their implied incarnations/reincarnations imply their love for each other is eternal.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: While [[TheChosenOne Chrom]] only has the ability to seal away the [[DragonsAreDemonic Fell Dragon Grima]] for a thousand years, Grima will still come back a millennium later because [[OnlyICanKillHim only Grima's power can kill himself]]. The Avatar and Grima, however, [[{{Synchronization}} have their souls linked via the ancient pact]]. This [[LoopholeAbuse loophole]] allows the Avatar to kill the [[NoManOfWomanBorn otherwise unkillable]] Grima at [[HeroicSacrifice the cost of]] [[BondCreature them basically being killed as well!]]
* DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu: Downplayed. It's the case towards any of Avatar's potential romances, considering how they are the intended vessel of Grima. They are not possessed by Grima during first stages of courting, but in the original timeline it's stated that Robin was at least partially possessed by Grima when they had children with their partner.
** Male Avatar can hook up with Tiki, who's such a PersonOfMassDestruction that her mother Naga had to put her into DeepSleep to prevent her from degenerating into madness like all the other dragons. Her power is so tremendous that if she goes wild, the world will be destroyed.
* DiscOneNuke: Thanks to the skill Veteran, which grants 50% more exp whenever they are paired. The Avatar will most likely be one of the first characters to be promoted if you've been doing a lot of [[LevelGrinding exp grinding.]]
* DisneyDeath: At the end of the game.
* DitzyGenius: Without a doubt a tactical genius, but they have [[CloudCuckoolander some]] [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace strange]] [[CrazyEnoughToWork moments]] in support conversations.
-->'''Female Avatar:''' Oh, it's all right. I know exactly when and where everyone sleeps. [[ItMakesSenseInContext I made sure I wouldn't be spotted]].\\
'''Lon'qu:''' I honestly cannot tell sometimes if you are a genius or a complete dimwit.
* DubNameChange: The Non-English European version changed the default name to "Daraen".
* DudeMagnet: The Female Avatar can marry all the guys in her army, excluding her son Morgan for obvious reasons. That includes [=SpotPass=] characters. [[spoiler:Yes, even the Mad King Gangrel and Walhart the Conqueror can marry her and father her child.]]
* DyingAsYourself: At the end of ''Future Past'', the alternate Avatar's last words are an apology to Morgan for putting them through so much pain, as well as expressing relief at finally being free of Grima.
* ElementalPowers: Able to wield magic tomes.
* EliteTweak: You can customize the Avatar's growth rate to an extent, and while the [[TheStrategist Tactician]] class starts out with stats and growth rates slightly weaker than the [[HeroUnit Lord]] class, it also has an enhanced experience gain through Veteran. Also, branching into different classes will allow you to learn their skills and equip them when you class change back. This can eventually lead to the Avatar becoming one of the most powerful units in the army.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Some of the most ship tease-y lines directed to female Avatar do ''not'' change when the Avatar is a guy, and vice versa. For instance, Tharja is a StalkerWithACrush for ''both'' of them, and Gregor offers IntimateHealing regardless of their gender. And in Vaike's supports with Tharja, he describes the male Avatar in almost exactly the dreamy terms he uses for the female Avatar.
* TheEveryman: Aside from being a huge tactics nerd, their personality is fairly neutral and mostly left to the player's interpretation.
* EvilCounterpart: The Avatar was bred to act as Grima's counterpart to Naga's chosen of the Exalted bloodline. If things had gone their intended path, the Avatar would have been Chrom's greatest enemy short of Grima itself.
* EyepatchOfPower: One face for small-build females has an eyepatch.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Some of the face customization options can give the Avatar this.
* AFatherToHisMen: The Avatar always tries to limit their army's casualties to zero. This also serves as a {{Deconstruction}} in their chess game with Virion, who would always win thanks to his WeHaveReserves mentality. However, a majority of Virion's wins were [[PyrrhicVictory Pyrrhic Victories]], something which Virion himself points out--and why he, despite being a tactician himself, refuses to take charge; the Avatar's command style is the better one for the ''real'' battles.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: The game lets you choose the Avatar's name, face, build, gender, birthday, and voice. The cut-scenes show your avatar hooded.
* FightingFromTheInside: ''[[DownloadableContent The Future Past]]'' reveals the Avatar is still fighting against Grima even after being possessed by him.
* FirstPersonPeripheralNarrator: For the first twenty or so chapters of the game, the Avatar actually has little bearing on the plot, simply serving as Chrom's tactician. This changes in the final act of the game, where the Avatar's backstory is revealed and they take center stage over Chrom for the finale.
* {{Flanderization}}: A fighting style variation. Every time the Avatar appears in another game or spinoff, they progressively lose their distinct combat skills in favor of becoming a straightforward SquishyWizard. In ''Awakening'', the Avatar was a MasterOfAll MagicKnight, who was, even if Strength or Magic was a DumpStat by player choice, good at using a sword and tome. In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', they were more geared towards being a MagicKnight with a heavier focus on magic, but their sword skills still were vital to their playstyle. Then ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' rolled around with the Male Avatar Amiibo, who leaned more heavily toward magic and carried a Thoron tome as his personal weapon, before becoming purely a Tome user in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemWarriors'' (though he does use his Levin Sword as part of his Warrior Special in the latter).
* ForgivingTheAccidentalPervert: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. The female Avatar reacts to Chrom accidentally walking in on her bathing by throwing stuff at him and yelling at him to get out, but she does accept his apology without further incident.
* TheFourLoves: The Avatar neatly fills all of these. Storge for their family, Phileo for their companions (especially [[HeterosexualLifePartners Chrom]]), Eros for their love interest, and finally Agape for Ylisse as a whole, as exemplified by their HeroicSacrifice.
* FrontlineGeneral: Depending on how much you use them.
** Lampshaded by [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776 Saias]] in the Rogues & Redeemers DLC.
--->'''Saias:''' Aren't you the enemy tactician? What kind of fool strategist puts himself at the fore of the battle?
--->'''Avatar:''' [[BadassBoast The kind who knows he'll win.]]
* FutureMeScaresMe: Not surprising, considering they became possessed by an evil dragon.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In the Prologue chapter, the Avatar states that they can see things like the enemies' strengths, weaknesses, and weapons. Just like the player can.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: No matter what class you make the Avatar into, they will always be a tactician when the premonition chapter comes to pass. Even if it was a non-magic class.
* GameFavouredGender: Averted in an interesting way. Both genders have advantages and disadvantages over the other that can make for rather unique playthroughs depending on the gender (a Female Avatar has Bride, Galeforce, and Male Morgan aka the most powerful of the sons; Male Avatar has Dread Fighter, ''two'' prospective kids [including Female Morgan aka the most powerful of the daughters], and freedom of choice when it comes to mothers with kid/s).
* GenderBlenderName: In every version, the Avatar has a default/canonical name that works for either gender. Their child's name in the English dub, Morgan, is also this.
* GenderedOutfit: While most of the Avatar's clothing are the same between their genders, the male Avatar wears a tunic, and the female Avatar wears a camisole, that is more pronounced with her adult body build.
* GirlishPigtails: The default female Avatar's default hairstyle, and a possible one for the younger model.
* AGodIAmNot: According to Validar near the end of the game, they could have been a god, but they chose to be with their companions instead.
* GoneHorriblyRight: The Grimleal wanted to create the perfect human via SuperBreedingProgram that will one day become the vessel for their GodOfEvil. They succeeded, but unfortunately for them (and fortunately for everyone else in the world), they went missing along with their mother, and because of ThePowerOfFriendship, is now the Ylisseans' ace in the hole. And to top it all off, they can actually '''kill Grima.''' Made even worse as Future Grima's attempt to possess the present-day Avatar wiped their memory, leaving them a blank slate for when they first befriend Chrom and the others.
* GoodCounterpart: To the Hierophant, who is Grima.
* GoodMorningCrono: They start off the game unconscious in an open field and being woken up by Chrom and Lissa.
* GrandTheftMe: In an AlternateTimeline, Grima possesses the Avatar's body and creates a BadFuture.
* GrowOldWithMe: Referenced when their spouse asks them to keep themselves safe.
-->'''Avatar:''' I'll stay safe if you promise to do the same. I want to grow old together.
* GuileHero: On top of being a master strategist, the Avatar is also the only person in the game that has support conversations with every recruitable character in the game.
* GuiltByAssociationGag: Their Supports with Vaike. "WHY ME?!", indeed.
* HappilyMarried: In the epilogue, the only thing scholars, poets, and bards can all agree upon is that they loved their spouse above all else.
* TheHeroDies: If the player chooses to have the Avatar deal the final blow against Grima, they cease to exist, but are [[BackFromTheDead reborn sometime later]]. In the bad future, a female Avatar married to Chrom apparently suffered [[SplitPersonalityTakeover complete annihilation]] after merging with Grima, if Grima's statement to Lucina in the cutscene "Dire Future II" ("Your mother and father are dead, tiny one") -- which is the same regardless of who Lucina's mother is -- is to be taken literally.
* HelloInsertNameHere: Players are free to name their Avatar however they please.
* HeroicMime: Strangely enough, you're given the ''option'' to make them one (in the Japanese version at least). Other players' Avatars recruited from Streetpass are also this by default, at least during dialogue, (they do get VoiceGrunting in combat as usual) presumably so they don't overshadow the "main" Avatar in story importance.
* HeroicWillpower: As Grima's vessel, Robin is vulnerable to Grimleal mind control. They are dominated into doing the Grimleal's bidding more than once in the plot. They eventually learn to resist enough to shake off even the best attempts of Grima itself by focusing on [[ThePowerOFFriendship their bonds with the other Shepherds]].
* HeroicSacrifice: It's possible for the Avatar to pull one of these in the endgame, so as to ensure that Grima is permanently killed. [[NegateYourOwnSacrifice The Avatar isn't actually dead, though, and seems to return fairly soon.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: In their Supports, particularly the Male Avatar's, they tend to downplay their abilities and importance despite being the lynchpin for the Shepherd's strategies. Perhaps most noticeable in Male Avatar's Supports with Lucina, where he encourages her that YouAreNotAlone by listing everyone willing to fight alongside her to save the world and future...before adding himself almost as an afterthought and "for whatever that's worth."
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Male Avatar with Chrom.
* HumbleHero: For all their fame and accomplishments, the Avatar never lets it go to their head.
* HydePlaysJekyll: Inverted in Chapter 23.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Although Chrom is undoubtedly a superb leader and warrior, the most crucial victories are credited to the Avatar's strategies.
* IdenticalStranger: If the Avatar faces off with Marth or Katarina in the DLC, they'll almost mistake them for the Avatar from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem New Mystery of the Emblem]]''. Which is rather odd, considering that in the male Avatar's supports with Tiki, she'll note that the Avatar's soul is much closer to that of Marth -- enough for her to mistakenly call him Mar-Mar.
* InsecureLoveInterest: Male Avatar shows shades of this in Tiki's S-support. Specifically with this quote:
-->'''Male Avatar''': ''"Well, you've lived for millennia... Seen the legendary heroes with your own eyes... You knew the Hero-King Marth himself! And compared to him, what am I? I felt that I had to be as great as him, as mighty and powerful... Otherwise, you couldn't help but find me lacking in comparison."''
* InstantExpert: The Avatar has access to nearly all classes and skills.
* InTheHood: In some of the CG cut scenes, no doubt due to the number of variations in their appearance presenting a logistical nightmare otherwise. In others, like what looks like the first one, things are shown from their perspective to avoid looking at them at all.
* IOweYouMyLife: The Avatar very much has this towards Chrom. A male Avatar expresses it very well in their A support.
-->'''Male Avatar''': ''"I'll save you like you saved me. So, let me help you. I'll bet on those bonds you made."''
* {{Irony}}: If the Female Avatar marries Chrom or another one of male Ylissean royalty[=/=]the Male Avatar marries Lucina or another of the female Ylissean royalty ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg or Tiki]]). They are the vessel of the Fell Dragon Grima, yet fell in love with the Divine Dragon Naga's chosen (or Naga's own daughter).
* IShouldHaveBeenBetter: They lament this after their plan to rescue Emmeryn failed.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Discussed. If the Male Avatar marries Lucina and accepts her judgment in Chapter 21, he'll ask her to move on after his death for this reason.
-->'''Male Avatar:''' Just...promise me you'll find someone else who cares for you. Promise me you won't be alone... I want you to be happy. That's all I've ever wanted.
* ItsPersonal: Almost literally between the Avatar and Grima, considering that [[TomatoInTheMirror they were bred for Grima]] [[GrandTheftMe to possess]].
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: The chosen one that will one day get possessed by an evil dragon that will annihilate the human race.
* JackOfAllStats: The Avatar's [[MagicKnight Tactician and Grandmaster]] classes have perfectly balanced growths and stat caps. The Avatar themself can avert this, though, and averts it in general when they make appearances in games outside of ''Awakening''.
* TheKirk: To Chrom's [[TheMcCoy McCoy]] and Lucina's [[TheSpock Spock]]. Many of the game's big decisions (especially the ending) are made by the Avatar in the end.
* LadyOfWar: Female Avatar, even if Chrom may not always think of her as one. One of her voice options further cements this.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The Avatar was hit by this when Grima from the future tried to take possession of them. However, the only thing the Avatar forgot was everything that happened to them in the past, while still maintaining their knowledge of warfare.
* LauncherOfAThousandShips: '''In-universe!''' They can marry ''anyone'' of the opposite sex... Except Morgan, of course. They can also support everyone of the same gender, and as stated above, some of the conversations don't change for the Avatar's gender, leading to some HoYay situations. [=Tharja/FemAvatar=] stands out especially.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Id", mainly the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaEu4kAWhQQ Serenity]] version, which gets many variations, most notably a TriumphantReprise as the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjL_SV8GXyw Final Chapter theme.]]
* TheLeader: As the tactician and co-leader of the Shepherds.
* LethalChef: Avatar varies between the two wildly. In particular, the non-human members of the army seem to think they're the best chef ever -- especially Panne, who ''loves'' their carrot stew (which everyone else hates).
* LightningBruiser: Will very likely be this given their vast selection of Classes and Skills available. Their child/children will also be this, possibly even more so than the Avatar.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Using a Second Seal, the Avatar may gain the Sorcerer class, just like Validar.
* LivingLegend: In their epilogue. Tales of their exploits are so varied and unbelievable that history isn't sure what happened to them after the plot ended.
* LossOfIdentity: The Avatar from the bad future apparently suffered this to some degree after uniting with Grima.
* MagicKnight: Is able to wield swords and magic in their default Tactician class and its promoted Grandmaster form. Their signature ability Ignis plays this up by adding half of their physical or magical strength to an attack when wielding a weapon using the opposing stat. However, games after ''Awakening'' tend to play up the "Magic" side to differentiate them from the mostly physical other major characters.
* ManchurianAgent: In the BadFuture timeline. Luckily, the Avatar came CrazyPrepared in this timeline.
* MarkOfTheBeast: On the back of their hand. Yes, it is related to Grima. It disappears if Grima is slain by the Avatar's hand.
* MarryThemAll: Not all at once, but through separate playthroughs if you want HundredPercentCompletion.
* MarshmallowHell: Male Avatar is in the receiving end of one in Aversa's confession scene.
* MasterOfAll: Between the two genders, the Avatar can be any class in the game apart from Manakete and Taguel, use any weapon besides Dragonstones and Beaststones, learn any skill and get decent to excellent ranks in every stat with sufficient LevelGrinding. They pass these traits onto their children, too.
* MeaningfulName:
** In addition to simply referring to an entity that represents the player, in Hindu mythology, an Avatar is a terrenal manifestation of a deity. In the BadFuture, the Avatar's body gets [[GrandTheftMe hijacked and becomes the Avatar of the Fell Dragon Grima.]]
** Reflet, if it is [[SpellMyNameWithAnS assumed to be the intended spelling of Avatar's Japanese name]] when romanized, could be translated from French as "reflection" as a reference to how the Avatar is seen as a representation of the player, or their in-game "reflection".
** Robin can mean "bright", "famous", and "smart", befitting a tactician of eventually legendary renown.
* MessianicArchetype: They become this, should you choose to have the Avatar deal the final blow to Grima in the endgame.
* MissingMom: After the Avatar's mother had smuggled both of them out of Plegia when they were still a baby, she's never heard from again.
* MissionControl: Their role within the army. They are, however, also a certified badass in combat.
* MsFanservice: The female Avatar in Ylissean Summer gives her a massive FanservicePack, along with Tiki and her "outfit" includes a purple two-piece. Moreso with her attack animations.
** The Male Avatar in the Fallen Heroes banner as well. His damaged portrait is one of the most revealing in the game.
* MysteriousPast: Even ignoring the amnesia, when Validar reveals the truth of the Avatar's past, he offhandedly mentions that he has no idea what they did with their lives after their mother took them away. The only person who could possibly know anything of their lives before meeting Chrom and Co is Grima, and the Fell Dragon doesn't care to answer.
* MysteriousWaif: A rare example where the PlayerCharacter is a MysteriousWaif, provided they are female or using the "child" male model. Justified because the Avatar is also an AmnesiacHero. Also, the game's biography entry describes the Avatar as the army's greatest enigma.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Their default hair color.
* NaiveNewcomer: The Avatar's amnesia makes them ignorant of Ylisse, justifying all the exposition they need early on.
* NiceGuy: Generally their personality in the game.
* NoodleIncident: In a support conversation with Gaius, they tell him an embarrassing secret involving a cow.
* NotAfraidToDie: Has no problem with outright killing Grima themselves despite it resulting in their mutual destruction.
* TheNotLoveInterest: To Chrom, if the Avatar is male or not married to him. Chrom even gives a speech at one point about how he considers himself and the Avatar two halves of a greater whole, and that's not even taking the A support with the male Avatar into account. Lucina is even convinced there has to be more to the female Avatar's relationship with Chrom than just friendship should they not be married.
* NotThatTheresAnythingWrongWithThat: In their supports, female Avatar [[ItMakesSenseInContext mistakes Flavia's invitation to be her adopted sister as a marriage proposal]], leading to her saying this word for word when pointing out that they're both women.
* NotQuiteDead: The Avatar may sacrifice himself for his friends against Grima, but they do come back in the following epilogue.
* NumberTwo: To Chrom, moreso than any other contenders for the title. He even describes them as two halves of a whole.
* OddFriendship: They seem to have this with nearly everyone they can support, ranging from [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Manaketes]], [[{{Animorphism}} Taguel]], [[KidFromTheFuture kids from the future]], etc. Their relationship with Chrom and Lucina are their strangest given that the Avatar was meant to be their greatest enemy.
* OneManArmy: Can potentially become this if you have the time. The Avatar has the ability to class change into any non-exclusive class and learn their skills. With the right skill setups, you can [[OneHitKill one-shot]] enemies and dodge enemies like a [[BulletTime bullet timer]].
* OnlySaneMan: With so many wacky supports to choose from, the Avatar will eventually look like one. However, they can be just as [[NotSoAboveItAll weird]] [[TheGadfly when they want to be.]]
* OutOfFocus: When it comes to most official ''Fire Emblem'' media outside of ''Awakening'', the female version of Robin tends to be less represented than her male counterpart. If she does appear alongside him, she will be given less priority and is often treated as a secondary option. Even further, when it comes to appearances with Chrom in other media, he always shows up alongside the male version of Robin and has yet to do so with his female counterpart. Thus far, the only official media outside of ''Awakening'' in which both Robin's have been treated more or less equally has been ''Fire Emblem: Heroes''.
* TheParagon: The Avatar is very much this given the ability to influence and support every playable (non-DLC) character in the game.
* ParentalSubstitute: The female Avatar to Noire, seemingly, but it's subverted. Noire is open about ''wanting'' her to be this, given [[AbusiveParents how horribly her biological mother treated her]], and even asks permission to call her Mom, but Robin isn't comfortable with the idea. Noire later espouses that she's kind of a TeamMom to the Shepherds anyway.
-->'''Noire:''' It's just that you're so strong and kind and charismatic. You're a true leader, both on and off the battlefield. You have this kindly maternal aura that cocoons everyone who comes near. But you also have a calm, commanding presence that makes people feel safe. You're like a mother to this whole entire army, Robin!
* ThePerfectionist: [[AudienceSurrogate Unsurprisingly]], considering how most people tend to play ''Fire Emblem''.
-->''"Chrom and I aren't trying for fewer casualties, Severa. We're trying for none.''\\
''Any time we lose a fighter, the operation is a failure -- no matter the end result."''
* PinkIsFeminine: In Smash Bros, one of the female Avatar's alternate costumes include changing her hair and coat pink.
* PlatonicLifePartners: If the female Avatar doesn't marry Chrom, they end up being best friends anyway.
* PleaseKillMeIfItSatisfiesYou: When Lucina remembers that the Avatar is the one who will kill her father Chrom in the BadFuture, she promptly tries to kill them to stop it from happening; the player has a choice whether or not to accept Lucina's judgment, but either way, Lucina is stopped by Chrom himself, who asserts that he trusts the Avatar completely.
** Alternatively, if the Male Avatar is Lucina's husband, or if the Female Avatar is her mother, whether or not they accept, they refuse to fight back and reassure Lucina that they love her no matter what; in response, Lucina breaks down and can't bring herself to go through with it.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: The Avatar cherishes the bonds formed with their companions to the point of [[AGodIAmNot rejecting godhood]]. It's the strength of the Avatar's bonds that allows them to break free when Grima [[TheNothingAfterDeath imprisons them in a dark void]] and to [[BackFromTheDead return to life]] in the event they deal the final blow against Grima and [[CessationOfExistence cease to exist]].
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: To Validar, before their final battle after he tries to convince them to become a god one last time.
--> '''Avatar:''' Not ''your'' god, not today.
* PreMortemOneLiner:
-->"''Here's how it's done!''"\\
"''Checkmate!''"\\
"''You're finished!''"\\
"''[[CatchPhrase Time to tip the scales!]]''"\\
"''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes Wrong Move!]]''"
* ProHumanTransHuman: Whereas [[BigBad Grima]] considers [[PunyHumans humanity and human bonds to be weak and useless]], the Avatar considers them to be their [[ThePowerOfFriendship greatest]] [[ThePowerOfLove strengths]]. Guess which one wins in the end?
* RaisedAsAHost: Their entire reason for existing, as the Grimleal have been raising people for centuries to act as a vessel for their leader before finally succeeding with their birth. However, their MissingMom ran off with the baby before the Grima cult could make full use of it.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue oni to Chrom's red oni.
* {{Reincarnation}}: It's somewhat implied that the Avatar is the past life or next life of the Avatar from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates''.
* ReincarnationRomance: With Gaius/Asugi, Cordelia/Caeldori or Tharja/Rhajat.
* RookieRedRanger: Being the newest member of Ylisse's Shepherds and appointed by Chrom as their [[TheStrategist Tactician]].
* RulingCouple: If Chrom marries female avatar, she turns the queen consort of Ylisse.
* RunningGag:
** There is a running joke in the supports involving various characters trying to snatch the Avatar away from Chrom and make them ''their'' strategist, including Basilio, Flavia, and Gangrel. This might also double as a MythologyGag to ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade The Blazing Blade]]'', where the epilogue for a player with a good enough tactics rating stated that countries went to war over wanting to recruit them as their tactician.
** Female Avatar walks in on several people [[NakedPeopleAreFunny while they're naked]]. [[LikeFatherLikeSon Her son does the same]] to Kjelle in their S Support.
* ScrewDestiny: A central belief of theirs even before the the reveals of their own intended role.
-->''Avatar:'' We're not pawns of some scripted fate. I believe we're more. Much more... There's something between us all. Something that keeps us together... Like... invisible ties, connecting us.
* SherlockScan: The Avatar alludes to doing something like this, since once their brain stops being fuzzy early on in the campaign, they start seeing numbers, movement ranges, and other data when they look at units on both sides.
* ShipperOnDeck: Since the Avatar determines who gets placed where, paired up, etc., they ultimately decide who ends up with who, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation despite saying]] to Cherche that they have never played matchmaker before.
* ShipTease: With Chrom. So, so much. For male Avatar, Lucina gets the most of anyone else, though Chrom ''still'' rivals her.
** Female Avatar: Their supports play out in BelligerentSexualTension manner, which is a ''very'' popular (if token, for some) romance trope. It's extremely easy, as said above, to get her and Chrom hitched ''almost by accident/mistake''. If she marries Chrom, there's LOTS of prospect romantic/familiar drama since she's the vessel of Grima, potentially making any other non-Chrom marriage very awkward. If she doesn't, Lucina will actually accuse her of [[MistakenForCheating wanting to seduce Chrom]] and will be ''shocked'' to learn it's not the case, switching to pretty much ''demanding'' for the female Avatar to fall in love with him.
** Male Avatar: His supports with Chrom play out in a very in-universe HoYay-tastic way, with him acting as a borderline "nagging wife" towards him. Some fans have joked that Male Avatar's C-through-A supports would have worked even better for a Female Avatar romancing Chrom than her own lines, plus he gets ''near everything'' the Female Avatar gets regarding Chrom save for marriage/kids and Lucina's above-mentioned nagging. Content post ''Awakening'' has heavily paired the two up as well, with the two getting a Valentine's [[TheDividual Duo unit]] in ''Heroes'', while the two also became a two-for-one deal and shared an Emblem Bracelet in ''Engage''. When Robin's Legendary version got released in ''Heroes'', his title is Exalt's Other Half, and both his title's description and opening dialogue for his map ''all'' reference Chrom's significance to him.
* ShockAndAwe: When the Avatar is actually shown attacking in cutscenes, they're frequently shown using thunder magic, regardless of their actual class or equipped weapon at the time. They also start out with a Thunder tome. Later games have since promoted their use of thunder magic (and casting the [[SignatureSpell Thoron]] spell in particular) into one of their [[SignatureMove defining traits]].
* ShroudedInMyth: The epilogue indicates that no historian can agree on what the Avatar actually looked like, providing an in-game explanation on why the Avatar is fully customizable.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Or at least something similar to ''TabletopGame/{{Risk}}'', in their supports with Virion and Morgan. Though given they're the army's strategist, it's pretty understandable.
** Also remember that they are supposed to represent the player. So naturally, they're the closest thing to a strategy gamer that would make sense in a medieval setting.
** With both of the above said, supports with the former imply they're not that great at it, or at least Virion is better; they play like it's a real battle, and thus are very defensive and unwilling to sacrifice units (much like a ''Fire Emblem'' player), while Virion uses this to their advantage and sacrifices half his units to ensure a win against them. The two discuss this and Virion points out he would be a terrible real-life tactician, as his tactics would result in Pyrric victories at best, or would collapse due to mass mutiny at worst.
--> '''Virion''': ''"I won, yes, but at what cost? Half the moves I make in this game could never be used in a real battle. My own men would have my head on a pike before the enemy even reached me. No, this army needs a tactician who loathes the sacrifice of even a single man. It needs you, Robin."''
* SpannerInTheWorks:
** In the main timeline, they throw a wrench at the Grimleal's plan by [[spoiler:having Khan Basilio fake his death, replacing the gemstones with fakes, and pretending to kill Chrom to play along.]] ScrewDestiny!
** In ''[[BadFuture The Future Past]]'' timeline, despite being mostly suppressed by Grima, they manage to land two critical blows on Grima's plans. [[spoiler:The first one is when they hold back Grima from fully obliterating Tiki, ensuring the survival of her spirit which later becomes the ''new'' Naga of that world. The second one is paralyzing Grima, allowing Lucina to complete the Awakening and land the killing blow on him.]]
* SpellBlade: Their signature ability, Ignis, works like this if it activates while using a physical weapon, empowering the physical weapon through magic.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Before ''Super Smash Bros.'' confirmed the romanization of "Reflet", there was confusion over if it was supposed to be romanized as Rufure or Reflet.
* SpiritualAntithesis: When compared to the Tactician (Mark) from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade''. (Which is ironic as they are implied to be the same person during Robin's interaction with Lyn.) The Tactician in ''Awakening'' is no longer a helpless [[NonActionGuy Non-Action Person]] who can't fight, but an actual badass in combat and the [[MagicKnight Tactician]] being a playable class along with class promotion. Instead of being TheFaceless, the Avatar is customizable by the player and can even form support bonds and get married with other characters. The Avatar is also very heavily involved with the story compared to their predecessor, who has [[DemotedToExtra minimal importance to the overall plot.]]
* StarCrossedLovers: Defied if the Avatar, the foreordained vessel of [[BigBad Grima]], marries any member of the Ylissean royal family, a foreordained vessel of [[BigGood Naga]].
* StaringDownCthulhu: Multiple times between the Avatar and Grima, especially during the last chapter.
* StatuesqueStunner: A female Avatar with the "adult" build will be about the same height as most male members of the cast (and tower over all the women, save Panne and Cordelia), and is still very pretty.
* StatusBuff: The Avatar learns two of these in the Tactician and Grandmaster classes. The Solidarity skill from the Tactician class grants adjacent allies a +10 boost in their Critical Rate and Critical Evade. The Rally Spectrum skill command from the Grandmaster class can grant all allies within two spaces of them a small boost to all of their stats. Male Robin also gets Spur Defense skills in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', providing adjacent allies with either a +2, +3, or +4 boost to their Defense stat.
* StepfordSmiler: To an extent. The Avatar has a friendly personality and an optimistic demeanor, but some of their dialogue near the end suggests some major self-esteem issues.
-->'''Avatar:''' (To their mirror image in Paralogue 22) If you know who I am, please tell me... Am I fit to stand with Chrom and the others?[[note]]The kicker is that this bit of dialogue takes place just before the endgame... after the Avatar has successfully led the Shepherds through three wars. Despite their accomplishments, they ''still'' hold a ton of doubt in themself.[[/note]]
* TheStrategist: The Avatar's starting class and role within the army.
* SuperBreedingProgram: How the Avatar came to be in this world. The Grimleal spent thousands of years selectively breeding to produce what was meant to be the perfect vessel for their dark god.
* SuperPowerfulGenetics: Given how the parent system works [[note]]Parent stat bonuses stack together (with a +1 everywhere if partnered with a first generation character), and the Avatar gives way to every available class for the child in question[[/note]], the Avatar will almost always have the most powerful children in the game. InUniverse, they inherited the bond with Grima from their ancestor.
* {{Superdickery}}: The opening Prelude sees the Avatar stabbing Chrom with a bolt of lightning followed by an EvilLaugh.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: A male Robin has these in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', which feature prominently in his intro cinematic. Female Robin has what seems to be a darker shade, but not nearly as pronounced.
* SupportingProtagonist: The story is seen from their perspective, and it's GameOver if they ever go down, but Chrom and Lucina are the main drivers of the plot. Robin only takes the lead in the final portion of the plot, but even that can be averted if the player chooses.
* SurvivorGuilt: If they didn't decide to land the final blow on Grima, they feel guilt about not truly putting him down at the cost of their life when people in the far future are just going to suffer for their decision. However, the Avatar's spouse and children will assure them that they'd miss them greatly if they sacrificed themselves, which alleviates their guilt a bit.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: The female avatar is very similar to Deirdre from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar''. Both girls have [[MysticalWhiteHair white hair]], they [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple wear purple in their main wardrobe]], they both have amnesia at one point in their respective stories, and they're associated with [[TheAntiChrist dark dragons]] through their heritage. The similarities pop up even more if you have the female Avatar marry Chrom. Both girls marry the Lord of the first generation, eventually gives birth to the Lord of the second generation, and again gives birth to another child who wields a tome and specializes in dark magic.
* TeamMom: The Avatar, regardless of their gender, will be so to many of their allies. Most strongly addressed in the female Avatar's Supports with Noire.
* TerribleArtist: The Avatar's B Support with Libra has him awkwardly compliment them on their attempt at drawing Lissa, only for the Avatar to gloomily say "that's a Pegasus..."
* ThatManIsDead: During their final confrontation with Validar, the Avatar will declare whoever they were or were meant to be before meeting Chrom doesn't matter anymore.
* ThisLoserIsYou: Completely inverted. Not only does the Avatar have a special class, the first true MagicKnight since Judgral, but they can also get paired with any playable character of the opposite gender, and even have kids. Way to go, stud!
* TimeTravelRomance: They're the only first-generation character that can marry characters from the future.
* {{Tomboy}}: The female Avatar is one, due to her slightly mischievous nature, her stronger interest in swordsmanship than the Male Avatar, and her love for training in general. It's such a large part of her character that Chrom is stunned speechless that she does feminine things like a girl, and and his awkward response to her unexpected feminine side sets the events of their C-Support in motion.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Thanks to their amnesia, the Avatar is horrified to learn that this whole time, they were Validar's child who is destined to become Grima's vessel.
* TookALevelInBadass: Takes a new level in each story arc. By the end of the game, the Avatar is considered a miracle-working tactician that can turn certain defeat into victory. Took an enormous one between games if you decide that the Avatar is the Tactician from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'', considering they were a complete non-combatant in that one.
* TragicBromance: If the Avatar is male or not married to Chrom. Chrom's death in the original timeline directly heralds the Avatar's possession by Grima and the eventual end of the world.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Most any kind of [[RealMenEatMeat meat]], but seems to be particularly fond of ''bear''. According to [[StalkerWithACrush Tharja]], "[[ForeignQueasine liver-and-eel pie]]" is also [[YourFavorite a favorite]]. Given the awkwardness of this conversation in general, it's plausible that she just guessed that (and her NightmareFetishist tendencies shined through) though.
* TransHuman: Has the Mark Of Grima via SuperBreedingProgram to create the perfect human that will serve as a vessel for their [[AGodAmI proclaimed]] GodOfEvil. This also makes Robin the counterpart of Chrom, who has the Mark Of Naga.
* {{Troll}}: Comes off as this in certain supports, most notably with Ricken and Frederick.
* TrueCompanions: Their sheer loyalty to Chrom as their tactician is this, and Chrom happily reciprocates the feeling, though Nintendo mostly favors the relationship with male Robin. Their camaradie is so strong that they appear as a Duo Hero in ''Fire Emblem Heroes''' Valentine's banner and share the same Emblem Ring in ''Fire Emblem Engage.''
* {{Tykebomb}}: The Avatar was intended to be raised as such, as all in their line had been before, but was stolen away by their mother early in life to prevent their indoctrination.
* UnequalPairing: This varies depending on who the Avatar's spouse is.
* {{Underboobs}}: When appearing in ''Fire Emblem Heroes''' Ylissean Summer banner, Female Robin's bikini top is effectively a strap of cloth worn over her chest with a ring in the middle and a knot at the back. Due to her large bust size, her breasts bulge out of both the top and bottom.
* UndyingLoyalty: To the Shepherds as a whole, but especially to Chrom.
* VagueAge: Thoroughly possible due to the customization. Whether it's someone right around Chrom's age, as young as Ricken's, a mature adult who happens to be short, and anywhere in between. Their lack of memories doesn't help, as Noire can point out.
-->'''Robin:''' But Noire, I'm still so young. I don't think I'm half the person you think I am.\\
'''Noire:''' [[LampshadeHanging You say you're young, but how can you know for sure? You have no memories at all, right? So who knows when you were born?]]\\
'''Robin:''' [[{{Touche}} Huh.]] Well, I suppose I could be an old crone and just not know it. [[DeadpanSnarker At least I'm aging well.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: Their initial relationship with some supports, but they get better with higher ranks and can even lead to a RelationshipUpgrade. Gangrel and Walhart are notable examples, particularly for a male Avatar. Tharja too, to the point where he begrudgingly admits his love for her lest he be killed on the spot.
* WalkingSpoiler: By virtue of being an AmnesiacHero, their past and real role in the story are all titanic spoilers.
* WarriorPrince: They get to be this if they marry any of the various nobles in the party, and of course by birth for being Validar's child.
* WarriorTherapist: Some of the support conversations the Avatar has with their team members.
* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: Like all the Lords, it's GameOver if the Avatar ever gets taken down in battle.
* WeightWoe: In their A-Support with Sully, the Avatar notices that she's begun to lose weight while they themselves are gaining it. They end up using the seaweed medicine that gave them one hell of an upset stomach [[HypocriticalHumor despite warning her not to eat the whole thing]].
* WithThisHerring: Played with. Chrom and Frederick get the weak, but unbreakable [[AncestralWeapon Falchion]] and a Silver Lance, respectively. Meanwhile, the Avatar starts off with... a [[StarterEquipment Bronze Sword and Thunder Tome]]. Justified because the better weapons your characters can equip are usually LevelLockedLoot. The Thunder Tome is your first 1-2 range weapon, so naturally it will be invaluable in the beginning.
* WreathedInFlames: Ignis appears to set the Avatar aflame when it activates.
* {{Workaholic}}: A few of their support conversations have others expressing concern that the Avatar is dangerously overworking themselves.[[/folder]]

-->''"I challenge my fate!"''
'''WARNING: Major spoilers ahead''' ([[WalkingSpoiler This is a double warning]]).
A masked swordsman who claims to be the Hero-King of ages long past. He wields another Falchion, a blade once thought unique, and appears during Chrom's hour of need. Whether he's truly the Hero-King or simply an impersonator is a mystery. ''[[SamusIsAGirl She]]'' is actually [[LukeYouAreMyFather Chrom's daughter]] from the future, ''Lucina''. A kind and just princess who has made it her duty to save the world. In her era, the world was devastated by the reawakened Grima and, by Naga's guidance, she traveled to the past to stop Grima. She loves her father and would do anything to keep him safe. The least likely to get a joke. Her birthday is April 20th.
She's every bit as competent and determined as her father, and can also be one of the most powerful units in the game like him if bred/trained properly. Among the future children, she's considered the most capable.
Lucina appears as a playable character in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU'' and ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', the fourth Lord (after Marth, Ike, and Roy) in the series to be playable in ''Smash'', and is also a playable unit in ''VideoGame/CodenameSTEAM'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' via her ''Smash Bros.'' Toys/{{amiibo}}. She also appears as a playable duo unit (together with her father) in [[VideoGame/ProjectXZone Project X Zone 2]] as well. For details relating to his appearance there, see [[Characters/ProjectXZone2BraveNewWorld here]].

----
* AccidentalMarriage: From a meta-standpoint, a female Avatar can end up in one with Chrom if the player is unaware that the game automatically marries Chrom to his highest unmarried female support if he's still single in Chapter 11.
* AccidentalPervert: Inverted in a female Avatar's A support with Chrom, where she walks in on him naked. [[RunningGag She also does it to Gaius and Say'ri]].
* TheAce: Their ability to master a huge number of classes in the game, support with every character, and be TheStrategist of the force simultaneously lands the Avatar quite firmly in this trope. [[spoiler:Also deconstructed in that they're bred to ''be'' the perfect vessel for Grima.]]
* ActionDad: A married Male Avatar is this to Female Morgan by default and any of the future children should he marry their mothers. They can also be an ActionMom to Male Morgan and potentially Lucina if playing female.
* ActionGenreHeroGuy: One of the male Avatar's character creation options involves picking the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robin_action_hero.png Type 03 build and the buzz-cut hair]].
* AdaptationalCurves: The Ylissean Summer Robin is much more buxom than the model for the Avatar she's based off of. Also, the Fallen Heroes version of male Robin is very muscular, although it's hard to say whether it's truly an example of this trope or a case of ClarkKentOutfit.
* AdaptationalWimp: See {{Flanderization}} below for more details on how each game since ''Awakening'' has changed their fighting style. However, in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', both Avatars lose their MasterOfAll potential, becoming simple Tome users with none of their physical attributes being present.
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: There are three different builds per gender to choose from: adult, late teen... and this. Which leads to LoliconAndShotacon when the supports come into play... However, [[VocalDissonance the localization does not have any "deep" or "childish" voices to choose from]], which makes it closer to a young teen, like Ricken.
* {{Ambadassador}}: Both Chrom and the Avatar fill this role during their trip to Regina Ferox and Plegia.
* AmnesiaDanger: Inverted. Despite having amnesia, the Avatar was also surprised about their fighting abilities. Also, this is how they get recruited into the Shepherds as their Tactician.
* AmnesiacHero: Lissa lampshades this, to which Frederick calls BS on the whole EasyAmnesia.
* AmnesiacProtagonistCatalyst: In the game's first chapter, Robin awakens in the middle of a field without any memory of who they are. [[spoiler:Later on, it's revealed that Robin is actually the child of the BigBad, and was conceived to be the vessel of the evil dragon Grima, who is destined to bring chaos and ruin to the world. Now aware that their amnesia is the result of Grima's failed attempt to possess them, the protagonist spends most of the later chapters fighting off the monster's influence and helping the other heroes repel the antagonist's forces]].
* AndIMustScream: Briefly when Grima imprisons the Avatar in a [[NothingIsScarier dark, featureless void]] during the final chapter. The implication is that this is the fate that the Avatar's soul would [[WhoWantsToLiveForever suffer for the rest of eternity]] in the event that they were to become one with Grima.
** The Future Past 3 DLC implies that in the timelines where Grima took over, the Avatar is aware of what's happening, but cannot do anything to break through and stop the mayhem... and at that point, it's been several years for that iteration of them.
* AnimeHair: The available hairstyle options can be this to an extent, especially for the female Avatar, though they're tamer than other instances of this trope.
* AntiChrist: The Avatar is the ChosenOne that will become the vessel for Grima, this universe's equivalent of Satan in the BadFuture.
* AntiAntiChrist: They are a kind and gentle person at heart, and do ''not'' want what's described above to happen.
* ApocalypseMaiden: The world goes to hell if Avatar gets possessed by Grima. In the BadFuture, the possession is successful. In the present, they manage to successfully avert this fate for the Avatar. Alas, Grima has a backup plan... and it's up to everyone to stop it.
* ArchnemesisDad: [[spoiler:Validar is their father, and one of the antagonists. Their future self will become this to their future children after they were possessed by Grima, but subverted with the playable Avatar, who cares about their children]].
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: How the Avatar ended up as the Shepherds's strategist.
* AudienceSurrogate: Amnesia and a balanced personality sets the Avatar up as the vital viewpoint character.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: The Avatar (AKA the player) is able to "see" things such as the enemy's stats, weapons, the chance of hitting, evading, or critting between two attacking parties, etc.
* BackFromTheDead: If the Avatar deals the final blow against Grima, they [[BondCreature die too]], but [[PowerofFriendship their bonds with the friends]] they've made over the course of the game prove to be stronger than their connection with Grima. Chrom and Lissa then find the Avatar in much the same way they did at the start of the game, only lacking the Mark of Grima, and the post-credits epilogue reveals that they will be remembered for their valiance and tactical genius. They will also be remembered for being [[HappilyMarried incredibly loving]] to their spouse if they are married.
* BadassAdorable: If the Avatar is styled as an AdorablyPrecociousChild, the player will have a tiny boy or girl showering the enemy in absolute mass destruction.
* BadassBookworm: The Avatar is not only the [[TheStrategist army's tactician]], but a MagicKnight with LightningBruiser potential.
* BadassLongcoat: Wears a black coat/duster with a hood.
* BadassBystander: The prologue sees the amnesiac Avatar as anything but helpless, being able to fight with swords and sorcery along with knowledge of battlefield tactics and awareness.
* BadassBoast: The Avatar's response to chapter 8's crisis. Flavia, the ruler of a country of badasses, appreciatively declares that the Avatar's got balls.
--> '''Avatar:''' I am equal to the challenge.
** In combat, the Avatar additionally can boast after blocking an attack intended for a unit paired with them:
--> '''Avatar:''' *block* "Predictable."
* BashBrothers: The Avatar can have those with any of the other characters of the same gender, though Chrom and the Male Avatar get the most out of it.
* BattleCouple: Can be paired with any playable unit of the opposite sex (except for Morgan, obviously). They have equal (but slow) support growth with all of them.
* BattleHarem: Played with. The Avatar can't start a harem (or reverse harem) story-wise and can only have one S Support with their spouse. However, the game does allow you to remain single and obtain up to A Rank support conversations with every single non-DLC character in the game.
* BerserkButton: The female Avatar is normally a nice, cheerful, if sometimes slightly mischievous woman, but she doesn't take insults to her femininity well, as shown in her C-support with Chrom.
** Another is trying to steal her position as the army's tactician, as shown in her supports with Aversa where she's unusually hostile and competitive.
* BestFriendsInLaw: With Chrom if a male Avatar marries Lissa, Emmeryn, or any one of Chrom's daughters from the future. Also with Chrom if a female Avatar marries a Chrom-fathered Inigo or Brady.
* BigBrotherMentor: In some of their support conversations with the Second Generation characters, the Male Avatar comes off as this.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: If a female Avatar gets short hair, [[https://imgur.com/a/5fSSp she can look rather boyish in a refined way.]] The "default" female body built is especially good for this due to her clothes hiding her figure.
* BlackCloak: Complete with InTheHood, although worn very loosely.
* BlessedWithSuck: Through the means of their family's SuperBreedingProgram, the Avatar is now TheChosenOne that will one day become the SoulJar of the [[PersonOfMassDestruction Dragon of Mass Destruction]] that will bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. The plus side is that they are given SuperpowerfulGenetics allowing them to class change into almost every class and produce absurdly powerful children, as well as being the one person capable of defeating Grima once and for all -- something that even ''[[PhysicalGod Naga]]'' isn't capable of.
* BlingOfWar: The Grandmaster class has the Avatar wearing shiny plate armor underneath a even more badass-looking longcoat.
* BlowYouAway: In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', Female Robin uses Wind tomes, and not the usual Thunder tomes, in order to differ from Male Robin, who does use Thunder tomes.
* BornWinner: As revealed by Validar, the Avatar was born as the perfect vessel to house Grima after generations of failed attempts.
* BornUnlucky: Unfortunately, being Grima's vessel means they are destined to lose their individuality and be responsible for the end of the world. They also must die if they wish to stop Grima forever.
* BossRemix: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjfT4VBLrqE "Id (Hope)"]], which plays for the Future Past DLC bosses, who are all related to the Avatar in some way.
* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: When Lissa pinches the Avatar's nose in their C support with her, they yell this upon waking up from a nightmare:
-->'''Avatar:''' Risen! Wolves! Risen riding wolves!
* CanonName: Robin is their official name, [[DubNameChange though it varies by region.]]
* CastingAShadow: Not in-game, unless reclassed into Dark Mage or Sorcerer, but should you choose to have the Avatar kill Grima permanently, they'll use Grima's Truth to deal the final blow.
* CatchPhrase: "It's time to tip the scales" has become Robin's signature quote in spin-off and crossover media.
* CharacterCustomization: From the Avatar's appearance and voice to their actual class, the possibilities are pretty expansive .
* CherryBlossoms: When [[LimitBreak Ignis]] triggers, it causes their attacks to leave these in its wake, whether it's a physical or magic attack.
* ChessmasterSidekick: By the second act, everyone knows that Ylisse's [[CrazyEnoughToWork increasingly improbable]] streak of victories is due to its exceptionally gifted and staunchly loyal Master Tactician.
* ChickMagnet: The male Avatar can hook up with ''any'' female playable characters, including [=SpotPass=] characters, with the exception of his daughter Morgan for obvious reasons. [[spoiler:Yes, even the amnesiac Exalt Emmeryn and a unbrainwashed Aversa can become his wife and the mother of his child.]]
* TheChosenOne: The Avatar is the chosen vessel of Grima, destined to usher in the end of humanity.
* ClarkKentOutfit: If we take the Fallen Heroes version of male Robin as canon, then Robin is surprisingly muscular under those robes.
* TheComicallySerious: Gets put into a lot of wacky situations in many of their Support Conversations.
** Sometimes it doesn't even have to be ''their'' supports. Getting dusted by Frederick, anyone?
* CoolBigSis: The Female Avatar is generally this towards all the kids from the future.
* CrazyEnoughToWork: A ''lot'' of the strategies in the Walhart arc only work because they are so batshit insane that no one would consider preparing for them. For instance, what do you do when you realize that your navy is ''vastly'' outnumbered by the enemy and you have each of your own ships only half-filled with soldiers, while the enemy ships are each fully manned with dangerous combatants? Simple! Pack all of your soldiers onto one half of your fleet, set the remainder of your own ships ''on fire'', and '''''sail them into the enemy fleet'''''. Multiple characters remark that they can't figure out whether the Avatar is a genius or insane. Or both.
* CrazyPrepared: In Chapter 23, it's revealed that the Avatar somehow knew that Basilio was alive and was using him as a secret agent to perform tasks that the Avatar couldn't do without being noticed, due to Validar's spies being everywhere. This includes ''replacing the stones on the Fire Emblem with fakes'', just in case Validar actually managed to get ahold of it.
* CriticalStatusBuff: Male Robin's Defiant Speed skills in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' provides him with an increase in speed when his health drops below half.
* CrusadingWidow: Can be insinuated as Bad-Future Robin's motivation for abandoning everything and succumbing to Godhood (whereas the Avatar is married to Chrom).
* CutenessProximity: As evidenced by her supports with Panne and Yarne, the female Avatar finds the Taguel simply irresistible.
* CuttingOffTheBranches: An odd case. While all Avatars are valid due to the Outrealms, Robin is generally portrayed in his default Male form. In games where the character appears, he is either the primary form or in some cases, the only form of the character, particularly in comparison to their direct successor, Corrin, and the following protagonist, Byleth. However, in ''Heroes'' and ''Warriors'', the female Robin appears alongside her male counterpart, being a playable character in the latter, and having equal units to the male Robin in the former, and also having more appearances in ''Cipher''. While there is no 'canon' gender of the character like Corrin and Byleth, the male Robin is still the most commonly used across media; WordOfGod states that's simply because [[http://nintendoeverything.com/fire-emblem-warriors-devs-on-female-robin-cordelia-pegasus-knights-gameplay-including-fire-emblem-elements-more/ Male Robin scored higher in popularity polls.]] [[note]]Just like a Female Corrin for ''Fates'' gets a similar spot in Fates-related media, for exactly the same reason.[[/note]]
** Inverted in ''Heroes'' during one of the Tempest events where Female Robin appears as the main Robin against a Grima Possessed Male Robin. The situation proves to be confusing for them both.
-->'''Grima:''' We are one and the same. But we come from different worlds...''Very different''. Perhaps it's due to the intensity of the forces of chaos... I had not anticipated meeting a female self.
-->'''Robin:''' Well, here I am.
* DarkIsNotEvil: They are the avatar of Grima, and do everything in their power to stop it.
* DeadpanSnarker: They have their moments.
--> ''(In response to Maribelle calling them "[[InnocentlyInsensitive lowborn]]":) "Did you just drop by to look down your nose at me, or was there something else?"''
* DeconstructedTrope: Why are they TheAce at everything and can be amazing at any class the player chooses, and pass this inherent greatness onto their children? Because of the selective breeding that gave them their SuperpowerfulGenetics.
* DefiantToTheEnd: To Grima in the final mission, where he threatens to kill all the Avatar's companions if they do not join with him.
* DelicateAndSickly: In a sense. They're prone to fainting spells and exhaustion and other medical problems, but it's easily explained by their {{workaholic}} tendencies and lack of self-care.
* DemonicPossession: In the SpoilerOpening, Validar succeeds in allowing Grima to possess the Avatar.
* DependingOnTheArtist: is the Avatar's default hair color white, grey, silver, or very light blond? Depends on which art or character model you're looking at.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Much emphasis is often placed on how the Avatar is just as important to the success of the mission in the moment as Chrom. While he's the military commander of the Shepherds who leads through strength and example, they are TheStrategist of the group who organizes the battle-plans, and Chrom often consults them for input on how to move forward during the main plot.
* DevelopersDesiredDate:
** As explained above, the Female Avatar and Sumia share this position in regards to Chrom. They remain close even if not married to each other and there are plot consequences that come into play if they are married, and Lucina, if her mother isn't a Female Avatar, will swing between a ShippingTorpedo and a ShipperOnDeck regarding them.
** The Male Avatar is one for Lucina as well, since the plot can be seen as implying that the whole "Lucina's Judgement" scene is far more fitting to a Lucina who's mothered by the Female Avatar '''or''' to one married to a Male one.
** To a lesser extent, thanks to their popularity Gaius is this for the Female Avatar, while Cordelia or Tharja is this for the Male Avatar. All three get more interactions with Robin in the DLC and their implied incarnations/reincarnations imply their love for each other is eternal.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: While [[TheChosenOne Chrom]] only has the ability to seal away the [[DragonsAreDemonic Fell Dragon Grima]] for a thousand years, Grima will still come back a millennium later because [[OnlyICanKillHim only Grima's power can kill himself]]. The Avatar and Grima, however, [[{{Synchronization}} have their souls linked via the ancient pact]]. This [[LoopholeAbuse loophole]] allows the Avatar to kill the [[NoManOfWomanBorn otherwise unkillable]] Grima at [[HeroicSacrifice the cost of]] [[BondCreature them basically being killed as well!]]
* DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu: Downplayed. It's the case towards any of Avatar's potential romances, considering how they are the intended vessel of Grima. They are not possessed by Grima during first stages of courting, but in the original timeline it's stated that Robin was at least partially possessed by Grima when they had children with their partner.
** Male Avatar can hook up with Tiki, who's such a PersonOfMassDestruction that her mother Naga had to put her into DeepSleep to prevent her from degenerating into madness like all the other dragons. Her power is so tremendous that if she goes wild, the world will be destroyed.
* DiscOneNuke: Thanks to the skill Veteran, which grants 50% more exp whenever they are paired. The Avatar will most likely be one of the first characters to be promoted if you've been doing a lot of [[LevelGrinding exp grinding.]]
* DisneyDeath: At the end of the game.
* DitzyGenius: Without a doubt a tactical genius, but they have [[CloudCuckoolander some]] [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace strange]] [[CrazyEnoughToWork moments]] in support conversations.
-->'''Female Avatar:''' Oh, it's all right. I know exactly when and where everyone sleeps. [[ItMakesSenseInContext I made sure I wouldn't be spotted]].\\
'''Lon'qu:''' I honestly cannot tell sometimes if you are a genius or a complete dimwit.
* DubNameChange: The Non-English European version changed the default name to "Daraen".
* DudeMagnet: The Female Avatar can marry all the guys in her army, excluding her son Morgan for obvious reasons. That includes [=SpotPass=] characters. [[spoiler:Yes, even the Mad King Gangrel and Walhart the Conqueror can marry her and father her child.]]
* DyingAsYourself: At the end of ''Future Past'', the alternate Avatar's last words are an apology to Morgan for putting them through so much pain, as well as expressing relief at finally being free of Grima.
* ElementalPowers: Able to wield magic tomes.
* EliteTweak: You can customize the Avatar's growth rate to an extent, and while the [[TheStrategist Tactician]] class starts out with stats and growth rates slightly weaker than the [[HeroUnit Lord]] class, it also has an enhanced experience gain through Veteran. Also, branching into different classes will allow you to learn their skills and equip them when you class change back. This can eventually lead to the Avatar becoming one of the most powerful units in the army.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Some of the most ship tease-y lines directed to female Avatar do ''not'' change when the Avatar is a guy, and vice versa. For instance, Tharja is a StalkerWithACrush for ''both'' of them, and Gregor offers IntimateHealing regardless of their gender. And in Vaike's supports with Tharja, he describes the male Avatar in almost exactly the dreamy terms he uses for the female Avatar.
* TheEveryman: Aside from being a huge tactics nerd, their personality is fairly neutral and mostly left to the player's interpretation.
* EvilCounterpart: The Avatar was bred to act as Grima's counterpart to Naga's chosen of the Exalted bloodline. If things had gone their intended path, the Avatar would have been Chrom's greatest enemy short of Grima itself.
* EyepatchOfPower: One face for small-build females has an eyepatch.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Some of the face customization options can give the Avatar this.
* AFatherToHisMen: The Avatar always tries to limit their army's casualties to zero. This also serves as a {{Deconstruction}} in their chess game with Virion, who would always win thanks to his WeHaveReserves mentality. However, a majority of Virion's wins were [[PyrrhicVictory Pyrrhic Victories]], something which Virion himself points out--and why he, despite being a tactician himself, refuses to take charge; the Avatar's command style is the better one for the ''real'' battles.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: The game lets you choose the Avatar's name, face, build, gender, birthday, and voice. The cut-scenes show your avatar hooded.
* FightingFromTheInside: ''[[DownloadableContent The Future Past]]'' reveals the Avatar is still fighting against Grima even after being possessed by him.
* FirstPersonPeripheralNarrator: For the first twenty or so chapters of the game, the Avatar actually has little bearing on the plot, simply serving as Chrom's tactician. This changes in the final act of the game, where the Avatar's backstory is revealed and they take center stage over Chrom for the finale.
* {{Flanderization}}: A fighting style variation. Every time the Avatar appears in another game or spinoff, they progressively lose their distinct combat skills in favor of becoming a straightforward SquishyWizard. In ''Awakening'', the Avatar was a MasterOfAll MagicKnight, who was, even if Strength or Magic was a DumpStat by player choice, good at using a sword and tome. In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', they were more geared towards being a MagicKnight with a heavier focus on magic, but their sword skills still were vital to their playstyle. Then ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' rolled around with the Male Avatar Amiibo, who leaned more heavily toward magic and carried a Thoron tome as his personal weapon, before becoming purely a Tome user in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemWarriors'' (though he does use his Levin Sword as part of his Warrior Special in the latter).
* ForgivingTheAccidentalPervert: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. The female Avatar reacts to Chrom accidentally walking in on her bathing by throwing stuff at him and yelling at him to get out, but she does accept his apology without further incident.
* TheFourLoves: The Avatar neatly fills all of these. Storge for their family, Phileo for their companions (especially [[HeterosexualLifePartners Chrom]]), Eros for their love interest, and finally Agape for Ylisse as a whole, as exemplified by their HeroicSacrifice.
* FrontlineGeneral: Depending on how much you use them.
** Lampshaded by [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776 Saias]] in the Rogues & Redeemers DLC.
--->'''Saias:''' Aren't you the enemy tactician? What kind of fool strategist puts himself at the fore of the battle?
--->'''Avatar:''' [[BadassBoast The kind who knows he'll win.]]
* FutureMeScaresMe: Not surprising, considering they became possessed by an evil dragon.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In the Prologue chapter, the Avatar states that they can see things like the enemies' strengths, weaknesses, and weapons. Just like the player can.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: No matter what class you make the Avatar into, they will always be a tactician when the premonition chapter comes to pass. Even if it was a non-magic class.
* GameFavouredGender: Averted in an interesting way. Both genders have advantages and disadvantages over the other that can make for rather unique playthroughs depending on the gender (a Female Avatar has Bride, Galeforce, and Male Morgan aka the most powerful of the sons; Male Avatar has Dread Fighter, ''two'' prospective kids [including Female Morgan aka the most powerful of the daughters], and freedom of choice when it comes to mothers with kid/s).
* GenderBlenderName: In every version, the Avatar has a default/canonical name that works for either gender. Their child's name in the English dub, Morgan, is also this.
* GenderedOutfit: While most of the Avatar's clothing are the same between their genders, the male Avatar wears a tunic, and the female Avatar wears a camisole, that is more pronounced with her adult body build.
* GirlishPigtails: The default female Avatar's default hairstyle, and a possible one for the younger model.
* AGodIAmNot: According to Validar near the end of the game, they could have been a god, but they chose to be with their companions instead.
* GoneHorriblyRight: The Grimleal wanted to create the perfect human via SuperBreedingProgram that will one day become the vessel for their GodOfEvil. They succeeded, but unfortunately for them (and fortunately for everyone else in the world), they went missing along with their mother, and because of ThePowerOfFriendship, is now the Ylisseans' ace in the hole. And to top it all off, they can actually '''kill Grima.''' Made even worse as Future Grima's attempt to possess the present-day Avatar wiped their memory, leaving them a blank slate for when they first befriend Chrom and the others.
* GoodCounterpart: To the Hierophant, who is Grima.
* GoodMorningCrono: They start off the game unconscious in an open field and being woken up by Chrom and Lissa.
* GrandTheftMe: In an AlternateTimeline, Grima possesses the Avatar's body and creates a BadFuture.
* GrowOldWithMe: Referenced when their spouse asks them to keep themselves safe.
-->'''Avatar:''' I'll stay safe if you promise to do the same. I want to grow old together.
* GuileHero: On top of being a master strategist, the Avatar is also the only person in the game that has support conversations with every recruitable character in the game.
* GuiltByAssociationGag: Their Supports with Vaike. "WHY ME?!", indeed.
* HappilyMarried: In the epilogue, the only thing scholars, poets, and bards can all agree upon is that they loved their spouse above all else.
* TheHeroDies: If the player chooses to have the Avatar deal the final blow against Grima, they cease to exist, but are [[BackFromTheDead reborn sometime later]]. In the bad future, a female Avatar married to Chrom apparently suffered [[SplitPersonalityTakeover complete annihilation]] after merging with Grima, if Grima's statement to Lucina in the cutscene "Dire Future II" ("Your mother and father are dead, tiny one") -- which is the same regardless of who Lucina's mother is -- is to be taken literally.
* HelloInsertNameHere: Players are free to name their Avatar however they please.
* HeroicMime: Strangely enough, you're given the ''option'' to make them one (in the Japanese version at least). Other players' Avatars recruited from Streetpass are also this by default, at least during dialogue, (they do get VoiceGrunting in combat as usual) presumably so they don't overshadow the "main" Avatar in story importance.
* HeroicWillpower: As Grima's vessel, Robin is vulnerable to Grimleal mind control. They are dominated into doing the Grimleal's bidding more than once in the plot. They eventually learn to resist enough to shake off even the best attempts of Grima itself by focusing on [[ThePowerOFFriendship their bonds with the other Shepherds]].
* HeroicSacrifice: It's possible for the Avatar to pull one of these in the endgame, so as to ensure that Grima is permanently killed. [[NegateYourOwnSacrifice The Avatar isn't actually dead, though, and seems to return fairly soon.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: In their Supports, particularly the Male Avatar's, they tend to downplay their abilities and importance despite being the lynchpin for the Shepherd's strategies. Perhaps most noticeable in Male Avatar's Supports with Lucina, where he encourages her that YouAreNotAlone by listing everyone willing to fight alongside her to save the world and future...before adding himself almost as an afterthought and "for whatever that's worth."
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Male Avatar with Chrom.
* HumbleHero: For all their fame and accomplishments, the Avatar never lets it go to their head.
* HydePlaysJekyll: Inverted in Chapter 23.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Although Chrom is undoubtedly a superb leader and warrior, the most crucial victories are credited to the Avatar's strategies.
* IdenticalStranger: If the Avatar faces off with Marth or Katarina in the DLC, they'll almost mistake them for the Avatar from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem New Mystery of the Emblem]]''. Which is rather odd, considering that in the male Avatar's supports with Tiki, she'll note that the Avatar's soul is much closer to that of Marth -- enough for her to mistakenly call him Mar-Mar.
* InsecureLoveInterest: Male Avatar shows shades of this in Tiki's S-support. Specifically with this quote:
-->'''Male Avatar''': ''"Well, you've lived for millennia... Seen the legendary heroes with your own eyes... You knew the Hero-King Marth himself! And compared to him, what am I? I felt that I had to be as great as him, as mighty and powerful... Otherwise, you couldn't help but find me lacking in comparison."''
* InstantExpert: The Avatar has access to nearly all classes and skills.
* InTheHood: In some of the CG cut scenes, no doubt due to the number of variations in their appearance presenting a logistical nightmare otherwise. In others, like what looks like the first one, things are shown from their perspective to avoid looking at them at all.
* IOweYouMyLife: The Avatar very much has this towards Chrom. A male Avatar expresses it very well in their A support.
-->'''Male Avatar''': ''"I'll save you like you saved me. So, let me help you. I'll bet on those bonds you made."''
* {{Irony}}: If the Female Avatar marries Chrom or another one of male Ylissean royalty[=/=]the Male Avatar marries Lucina or another of the female Ylissean royalty ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg or Tiki]]). They are the vessel of the Fell Dragon Grima, yet fell in love with the Divine Dragon Naga's chosen (or Naga's own daughter).
* IShouldHaveBeenBetter: They lament this after their plan to rescue Emmeryn failed.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Discussed. If the Male Avatar marries Lucina and accepts her judgment in Chapter 21, he'll ask her to move on after his death for this reason.
-->'''Male Avatar:''' Just...promise me you'll find someone else who cares for you. Promise me you won't be alone... I want you to be happy. That's all I've ever wanted.
* ItsPersonal: Almost literally between the Avatar and Grima, considering that [[TomatoInTheMirror they were bred for Grima]] [[GrandTheftMe to possess]].
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: The chosen one that will one day get possessed by an evil dragon that will annihilate the human race.
* JackOfAllStats: The Avatar's [[MagicKnight Tactician and Grandmaster]] classes have perfectly balanced growths and stat caps. The Avatar themself can avert this, though, and averts it in general when they make appearances in games outside of ''Awakening''.
* TheKirk: To Chrom's [[TheMcCoy McCoy]] and Lucina's [[TheSpock Spock]]. Many of the game's big decisions (especially the ending) are made by the Avatar in the end.
* LadyOfWar: Female Avatar, even if Chrom may not always think of her as one. One of her voice options further cements this.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The Avatar was hit by this when Grima from the future tried to take possession of them. However, the only thing the Avatar forgot was everything that happened to them in the past, while still maintaining their knowledge of warfare.
* LauncherOfAThousandShips: '''In-universe!''' They can marry ''anyone'' of the opposite sex... Except Morgan, of course. They can also support everyone of the same gender, and as stated above, some of the conversations don't change for the Avatar's gender, leading to some HoYay situations. [=Tharja/FemAvatar=] stands out especially.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Id", mainly the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaEu4kAWhQQ Serenity]] version, which gets many variations, most notably a TriumphantReprise as the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjL_SV8GXyw Final Chapter theme.]]
* TheLeader: As the tactician and co-leader of the Shepherds.
* LethalChef: Avatar varies between the two wildly. In particular, the non-human members of the army seem to think they're the best chef ever -- especially Panne, who ''loves'' their carrot stew (which everyone else hates).
* LightningBruiser: Will very likely be this given their vast selection of Classes and Skills available. Their child/children will also be this, possibly even more so than the Avatar.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Using a Second Seal, the Avatar may gain the Sorcerer class, just like Validar.
* LivingLegend: In their epilogue. Tales of their exploits are so varied and unbelievable that history isn't sure what happened to them after the plot ended.
* LossOfIdentity: The Avatar from the bad future apparently suffered this to some degree after uniting with Grima.
* MagicKnight: Is able to wield swords and magic in their default Tactician class and its promoted Grandmaster form. Their signature ability Ignis plays this up by adding half of their physical or magical strength to an attack when wielding a weapon using the opposing stat. However, games after ''Awakening'' tend to play up the "Magic" side to differentiate them from the mostly physical other major characters.
* ManchurianAgent: In the BadFuture timeline. Luckily, the Avatar came CrazyPrepared in this timeline.
* MarkOfTheBeast: On the back of their hand. Yes, it is related to Grima. It disappears if Grima is slain by the Avatar's hand.
* MarryThemAll: Not all at once, but through separate playthroughs if you want HundredPercentCompletion.
* MarshmallowHell: Male Avatar is in the receiving end of one in Aversa's confession scene.
* MasterOfAll: Between the two genders, the Avatar can be any class in the game apart from Manakete and Taguel, use any weapon besides Dragonstones and Beaststones, learn any skill and get decent to excellent ranks in every stat with sufficient LevelGrinding. They pass these traits onto their children, too.
* MeaningfulName:
** In addition to simply referring to an entity that represents the player, in Hindu mythology, an Avatar is a terrenal manifestation of a deity. In the BadFuture, the Avatar's body gets [[GrandTheftMe hijacked and becomes the Avatar of the Fell Dragon Grima.]]
** Reflet, if it is [[SpellMyNameWithAnS assumed to be the intended spelling of Avatar's Japanese name]] when romanized, could be translated from French as "reflection" as a reference to how the Avatar is seen as a representation of the player, or their in-game "reflection".
** Robin can mean "bright", "famous", and "smart", befitting a tactician of eventually legendary renown.
* MessianicArchetype: They become this, should you choose to have the Avatar deal the final blow to Grima in the endgame.
* MissingMom: After the Avatar's mother had smuggled both of them out of Plegia when they were still a baby, she's never heard from again.
* MissionControl: Their role within the army. They are, however, also a certified badass in combat.
* MsFanservice: The female Avatar in Ylissean Summer gives her a massive FanservicePack, along with Tiki and her "outfit" includes a purple two-piece. Moreso with her attack animations.
** The Male Avatar in the Fallen Heroes banner as well. His damaged portrait is one of the most revealing in the game.
* MysteriousPast: Even ignoring the amnesia, when Validar reveals the truth of the Avatar's past, he offhandedly mentions that he has no idea what they did with their lives after their mother took them away. The only person who could possibly know anything of their lives before meeting Chrom and Co is Grima, and the Fell Dragon doesn't care to answer.
* MysteriousWaif: A rare example where the PlayerCharacter is a MysteriousWaif, provided they are female or using the "child" male model. Justified because the Avatar is also an AmnesiacHero. Also, the game's biography entry describes the Avatar as the army's greatest enigma.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Their default hair color.
* NaiveNewcomer: The Avatar's amnesia makes them ignorant of Ylisse, justifying all the exposition they need early on.
* NiceGuy: Generally their personality in the game.
* NoodleIncident: In a support conversation with Gaius, they tell him an embarrassing secret involving a cow.
* NotAfraidToDie: Has no problem with outright killing Grima themselves despite it resulting in their mutual destruction.
* TheNotLoveInterest: To Chrom, if the Avatar is male or not married to him. Chrom even gives a speech at one point about how he considers himself and the Avatar two halves of a greater whole, and that's not even taking the A support with the male Avatar into account. Lucina is even convinced there has to be more to the female Avatar's relationship with Chrom than just friendship should they not be married.
* NotThatTheresAnythingWrongWithThat: In their supports, female Avatar [[ItMakesSenseInContext mistakes Flavia's invitation to be her adopted sister as a marriage proposal]], leading to her saying this word for word when pointing out that they're both women.
* NotQuiteDead: The Avatar may sacrifice himself for his friends against Grima, but they do come back in the following epilogue.
* NumberTwo: To Chrom, moreso than any other contenders for the title. He even describes them as two halves of a whole.
* OddFriendship: They seem to have this with nearly everyone they can support, ranging from [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Manaketes]], [[{{Animorphism}} Taguel]], [[KidFromTheFuture kids from the future]], etc. Their relationship with Chrom and Lucina are their strangest given that the Avatar was meant to be their greatest enemy.
* OneManArmy: Can potentially become this if you have the time. The Avatar has the ability to class change into any non-exclusive class and learn their skills. With the right skill setups, you can [[OneHitKill one-shot]] enemies and dodge enemies like a [[BulletTime bullet timer]].
* OnlySaneMan: With so many wacky supports to choose from, the Avatar will eventually look like one. However, they can be just as [[NotSoAboveItAll weird]] [[TheGadfly when they want to be.]]
* OutOfFocus: When it comes to most official ''Fire Emblem'' media outside of ''Awakening'', the female version of Robin tends to be less represented than her male counterpart. If she does appear alongside him, she will be given less priority and is often treated as a secondary option. Even further, when it comes to appearances with Chrom in other media, he always shows up alongside the male version of Robin and has yet to do so with his female counterpart. Thus far, the only official media outside of ''Awakening'' in which both Robin's have been treated more or less equally has been ''Fire Emblem: Heroes''.
* TheParagon: The Avatar is very much this given the ability to influence and support every playable (non-DLC) character in the game.
* ParentalSubstitute: The female Avatar to Noire, seemingly, but it's subverted. Noire is open about ''wanting'' her to be this, given [[AbusiveParents how horribly her biological mother treated her]], and even asks permission to call her Mom, but Robin isn't comfortable with the idea. Noire later espouses that she's kind of a TeamMom to the Shepherds anyway.
-->'''Noire:''' It's just that you're so strong and kind and charismatic. You're a true leader, both on and off the battlefield. You have this kindly maternal aura that cocoons everyone who comes near. But you also have a calm, commanding presence that makes people feel safe. You're like a mother to this whole entire army, Robin!
* ThePerfectionist: [[AudienceSurrogate Unsurprisingly]], considering how most people tend to play ''Fire Emblem''.
-->''"Chrom and I aren't trying for fewer casualties, Severa. We're trying for none.''\\
''Any time we lose a fighter, the operation is a failure -- no matter the end result."''
* PinkIsFeminine: In Smash Bros, one of the female Avatar's alternate costumes include changing her hair and coat pink.
* PlatonicLifePartners: If the female Avatar doesn't marry Chrom, they end up being best friends anyway.
* PleaseKillMeIfItSatisfiesYou: When Lucina remembers that the Avatar is the one who will kill her father Chrom in the BadFuture, she promptly tries to kill them to stop it from happening; the player has a choice whether or not to accept Lucina's judgment, but either way, Lucina is stopped by Chrom himself, who asserts that he trusts the Avatar completely.
** Alternatively, if the Male Avatar is Lucina's husband, or if the Female Avatar is her mother, whether or not they accept, they refuse to fight back and reassure Lucina that they love her no matter what; in response, Lucina breaks down and can't bring herself to go through with it.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: The Avatar cherishes the bonds formed with their companions to the point of [[AGodIAmNot rejecting godhood]]. It's the strength of the Avatar's bonds that allows them to break free when Grima [[TheNothingAfterDeath imprisons them in a dark void]] and to [[BackFromTheDead return to life]] in the event they deal the final blow against Grima and [[CessationOfExistence cease to exist]].
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: To Validar, before their final battle after he tries to convince them to become a god one last time.
--> '''Avatar:''' Not ''your'' god, not today.
* PreMortemOneLiner:
-->"''Here's how it's done!''"\\
"''Checkmate!''"\\
"''You're finished!''"\\
"''[[CatchPhrase Time to tip the scales!]]''"\\
"''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes Wrong Move!]]''"
* ProHumanTransHuman: Whereas [[BigBad Grima]] considers [[PunyHumans humanity and human bonds to be weak and useless]], the Avatar considers them to be their [[ThePowerOfFriendship greatest]] [[ThePowerOfLove strengths]]. Guess which one wins in the end?
* RaisedAsAHost: Their entire reason for existing, as the Grimleal have been raising people for centuries to act as a vessel for their leader before finally succeeding with their birth. However, their MissingMom ran off with the baby before the Grima cult could make full use of it.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue oni to Chrom's red oni.
* {{Reincarnation}}: It's somewhat implied that the Avatar is the past life or next life of the Avatar from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates''.
* ReincarnationRomance: With Gaius/Asugi, Cordelia/Caeldori or Tharja/Rhajat.
* RookieRedRanger: Being the newest member of Ylisse's Shepherds and appointed by Chrom as their [[TheStrategist Tactician]].
* RulingCouple: If Chrom marries female avatar, she turns the queen consort of Ylisse.
* RunningGag:
** There is a running joke in the supports involving various characters trying to snatch the Avatar away from Chrom and make them ''their'' strategist, including Basilio, Flavia, and Gangrel. This might also double as a MythologyGag to ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade The Blazing Blade]]'', where the epilogue for a player with a good enough tactics rating stated that countries went to war over wanting to recruit them as their tactician.
** Female Avatar walks in on several people [[NakedPeopleAreFunny while they're naked]]. [[LikeFatherLikeSon Her son does the same]] to Kjelle in their S Support.
* ScrewDestiny: A central belief of theirs even before the the reveals of their own intended role.
-->''Avatar:'' We're not pawns of some scripted fate. I believe we're more. Much more... There's something between us all. Something that keeps us together... Like... invisible ties, connecting us.
* SherlockScan: The Avatar alludes to doing something like this, since once their brain stops being fuzzy early on in the campaign, they start seeing numbers, movement ranges, and other data when they look at units on both sides.
* ShipperOnDeck: Since the Avatar determines who gets placed where, paired up, etc., they ultimately decide who ends up with who, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation despite saying]] to Cherche that they have never played matchmaker before.
* ShipTease: With Chrom. So, so much. For male Avatar, Lucina gets the most of anyone else, though Chrom ''still'' rivals her.
** Female Avatar: Their supports play out in BelligerentSexualTension manner, which is a ''very'' popular (if token, for some) romance trope. It's extremely easy, as said above, to get her and Chrom hitched ''almost by accident/mistake''. If she marries Chrom, there's LOTS of prospect romantic/familiar drama since she's the vessel of Grima, potentially making any other non-Chrom marriage very awkward. If she doesn't, Lucina will actually accuse her of [[MistakenForCheating wanting to seduce Chrom]] and will be ''shocked'' to learn it's not the case, switching to pretty much ''demanding'' for the female Avatar to fall in love with him.
** Male Avatar: His supports with Chrom play out in a very in-universe HoYay-tastic way, with him acting as a borderline "nagging wife" towards him. Some fans have joked that Male Avatar's C-through-A supports would have worked even better for a Female Avatar romancing Chrom than her own lines, plus he gets ''near everything'' the Female Avatar gets regarding Chrom save for marriage/kids and Lucina's above-mentioned nagging. Content post ''Awakening'' has heavily paired the two up as well, with the two getting a Valentine's [[TheDividual Duo unit]] in ''Heroes'', while the two also became a two-for-one deal and shared an Emblem Bracelet in ''Engage''. When Robin's Legendary version got released in ''Heroes'', his title is Exalt's Other Half, and both his title's description and opening dialogue for his map ''all'' reference Chrom's significance to him.
* ShockAndAwe: When the Avatar is actually shown attacking in cutscenes, they're frequently shown using thunder magic, regardless of their actual class or equipped weapon at the time. They also start out with a Thunder tome. Later games have since promoted their use of thunder magic (and casting the [[SignatureSpell Thoron]] spell in particular) into one of their [[SignatureMove defining traits]].
* ShroudedInMyth: The epilogue indicates that no historian can agree on what the Avatar actually looked like, providing an in-game explanation on why the Avatar is fully customizable.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Or at least something similar to ''TabletopGame/{{Risk}}'', in their supports with Virion and Morgan. Though given they're the army's strategist, it's pretty understandable.
** Also remember that they are supposed to represent the player. So naturally, they're the closest thing to a strategy gamer that would make sense in a medieval setting.
** With both of the above said, supports with the former imply they're not that great at it, or at least Virion is better; they play like it's a real battle, and thus are very defensive and unwilling to sacrifice units (much like a ''Fire Emblem'' player), while Virion uses this to their advantage and sacrifices half his units to ensure a win against them. The two discuss this and Virion points out he would be a terrible real-life tactician, as his tactics would result in Pyrric victories at best, or would collapse due to mass mutiny at worst.
--> '''Virion''': ''"I won, yes, but at what cost? Half the moves I make in this game could never be used in a real battle. My own men would have my head on a pike before the enemy even reached me. No, this army needs a tactician who loathes the sacrifice of even a single man. It needs you, Robin."''
* SpannerInTheWorks:
** In the main timeline, they throw a wrench at the Grimleal's plan by [[spoiler:having Khan Basilio fake his death, replacing the gemstones with fakes, and pretending to kill Chrom to play along.]] ScrewDestiny!
** In ''[[BadFuture The Future Past]]'' timeline, despite being mostly suppressed by Grima, they manage to land two critical blows on Grima's plans. [[spoiler:The first one is when they hold back Grima from fully obliterating Tiki, ensuring the survival of her spirit which later becomes the ''new'' Naga of that world. The second one is paralyzing Grima, allowing Lucina to complete the Awakening and land the killing blow on him.]]
* SpellBlade: Their signature ability, Ignis, works like this if it activates while using a physical weapon, empowering the physical weapon through magic.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Before ''Super Smash Bros.'' confirmed the romanization of "Reflet", there was confusion over if it was supposed to be romanized as Rufure or Reflet.
* SpiritualAntithesis: When compared to the Tactician (Mark) from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade''. (Which is ironic as they are implied to be the same person during Robin's interaction with Lyn.) The Tactician in ''Awakening'' is no longer a helpless [[NonActionGuy Non-Action Person]] who can't fight, but an actual badass in combat and the [[MagicKnight Tactician]] being a playable class along with class promotion. Instead of being TheFaceless, the Avatar is customizable by the player and can even form support bonds and get married with other characters. The Avatar is also very heavily involved with the story compared to their predecessor, who has [[DemotedToExtra minimal importance to the overall plot.]]
* StarCrossedLovers: Defied if the Avatar, the foreordained vessel of [[BigBad Grima]], marries any member of the Ylissean royal family, a foreordained vessel of [[BigGood Naga]].
* StaringDownCthulhu: Multiple times between the Avatar and Grima, especially during the last chapter.
* StatuesqueStunner: A female Avatar with the "adult" build will be about the same height as most male members of the cast (and tower over all the women, save Panne and Cordelia), and is still very pretty.
* StatusBuff: The Avatar learns two of these in the Tactician and Grandmaster classes. The Solidarity skill from the Tactician class grants adjacent allies a +10 boost in their Critical Rate and Critical Evade. The Rally Spectrum skill command from the Grandmaster class can grant all allies within two spaces of them a small boost to all of their stats. Male Robin also gets Spur Defense skills in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', providing adjacent allies with either a +2, +3, or +4 boost to their Defense stat.
* StepfordSmiler: To an extent. The Avatar has a friendly personality and an optimistic demeanor, but some of their dialogue near the end suggests some major self-esteem issues.
-->'''Avatar:''' (To their mirror image in Paralogue 22) If you know who I am, please tell me... Am I fit to stand with Chrom and the others?[[note]]The kicker is that this bit of dialogue takes place just before the endgame... after the Avatar has successfully led the Shepherds through three wars. Despite their accomplishments, they ''still'' hold a ton of doubt in themself.[[/note]]
* TheStrategist: The Avatar's starting class and role within the army.
* SuperBreedingProgram: How the Avatar came to be in this world. The Grimleal spent thousands of years selectively breeding to produce what was meant to be the perfect vessel for their dark god.
* SuperPowerfulGenetics: Given how the parent system works [[note]]Parent stat bonuses stack together (with a +1 everywhere if partnered with a first generation character), and the Avatar gives way to every available class for the child in question[[/note]], the Avatar will almost always have the most powerful children in the game. InUniverse, they inherited the bond with Grima from their ancestor.
* {{Superdickery}}: The opening Prelude sees the Avatar stabbing Chrom with a bolt of lightning followed by an EvilLaugh.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: A male Robin has these in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', which feature prominently in his intro cinematic. Female Robin has what seems to be a darker shade, but not nearly as pronounced.
* SupportingProtagonist: The story is seen from their perspective, and it's GameOver if they ever go down, but Chrom and Lucina are the main drivers of the plot. Robin only takes the lead in the final portion of the plot, but even that can be averted if the player chooses.
* SurvivorGuilt: If they didn't decide to land the final blow on Grima, they feel guilt about not truly putting him down at the cost of their life when people in the far future are just going to suffer for their decision. However, the Avatar's spouse and children will assure them that they'd miss them greatly if they sacrificed themselves, which alleviates their guilt a bit.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: The female avatar is very similar to Deirdre from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar''. Both girls have [[MysticalWhiteHair white hair]], they [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple wear purple in their main wardrobe]], they both have amnesia at one point in their respective stories, and they're associated with [[TheAntiChrist dark dragons]] through their heritage. The similarities pop up even more if you have the female Avatar marry Chrom. Both girls marry the Lord of the first generation, eventually gives birth to the Lord of the second generation, and again gives birth to another child who wields a tome and specializes in dark magic.
* TeamMom: The Avatar, regardless of their gender, will be so to many of their allies. Most strongly addressed in the female Avatar's Supports with Noire.
* TerribleArtist: The Avatar's B Support with Libra has him awkwardly compliment them on their attempt at drawing Lissa, only for the Avatar to gloomily say "that's a Pegasus..."
* ThatManIsDead: During their final confrontation with Validar, the Avatar will declare whoever they were or were meant to be before meeting Chrom doesn't matter anymore.
* ThisLoserIsYou: Completely inverted. Not only does the Avatar have a special class, the first true MagicKnight since Judgral, but they can also get paired with any playable character of the opposite gender, and even have kids. Way to go, stud!
* TimeTravelRomance: They're the only first-generation character that can marry characters from the future.
* {{Tomboy}}: The female Avatar is one, due to her slightly mischievous nature, her stronger interest in swordsmanship than the Male Avatar, and her love for training in general. It's such a large part of her character that Chrom is stunned speechless that she does feminine things like a girl, and and his awkward response to her unexpected feminine side sets the events of their C-Support in motion.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Thanks to their amnesia, the Avatar is horrified to learn that this whole time, they were Validar's child who is destined to become Grima's vessel.
* TookALevelInBadass: Takes a new level in each story arc. By the end of the game, the Avatar is considered a miracle-working tactician that can turn certain defeat into victory. Took an enormous one between games if you decide that the Avatar is the Tactician from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'', considering they were a complete non-combatant in that one.
* TragicBromance: If the Avatar is male or not married to Chrom. Chrom's death in the original timeline directly heralds the Avatar's possession by Grima and the eventual end of the world.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Most any kind of [[RealMenEatMeat meat]], but seems to be particularly fond of ''bear''. According to [[StalkerWithACrush Tharja]], "[[ForeignQueasine liver-and-eel pie]]" is also [[YourFavorite a favorite]]. Given the awkwardness of this conversation in general, it's plausible that she just guessed that (and her NightmareFetishist tendencies shined through) though.
* TransHuman: Has the Mark Of Grima via SuperBreedingProgram to create the perfect human that will serve as a vessel for their [[AGodAmI proclaimed]] GodOfEvil. This also makes Robin the counterpart of Chrom, who has the Mark Of Naga.
* {{Troll}}: Comes off as this in certain supports, most notably with Ricken and Frederick.
* TrueCompanions: Their sheer loyalty to Chrom as their tactician is this, and Chrom happily reciprocates the feeling, though Nintendo mostly favors the relationship with male Robin. Their camaradie is so strong that they appear as a Duo Hero in ''Fire Emblem Heroes''' Valentine's banner and share the same Emblem Ring in ''Fire Emblem Engage.''
* {{Tykebomb}}: The Avatar was intended to be raised as such, as all in their line had been before, but was stolen away by their mother early in life to prevent their indoctrination.
* UnequalPairing: This varies depending on who the Avatar's spouse is.
* {{Underboobs}}: When appearing in ''Fire Emblem Heroes''' Ylissean Summer banner, Female Robin's bikini top is effectively a strap of cloth worn over her chest with a ring in the middle and a knot at the back. Due to her large bust size, her breasts bulge out of both the top and bottom.
* UndyingLoyalty: To the Shepherds as a whole, but especially to Chrom.
* VagueAge: Thoroughly possible due to the customization. Whether it's someone right around Chrom's age, as young as Ricken's, a mature adult who happens to be short, and anywhere in between. Their lack of memories doesn't help, as Noire can point out.
-->'''Robin:''' But Noire, I'm still so young. I don't think I'm half the person you think I am.\\
'''Noire:''' [[LampshadeHanging You say you're young, but how can you know for sure? You have no memories at all, right? So who knows when you were born?]]\\
'''Robin:''' [[{{Touche}} Huh.]] Well, I suppose I could be an old crone and just not know it. [[DeadpanSnarker At least I'm aging well.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: Their initial relationship with some supports, but they get better with higher ranks and can even lead to a RelationshipUpgrade. Gangrel and Walhart are notable examples, particularly for a male Avatar. Tharja too, to the point where he begrudgingly admits his love for her lest he be killed on the spot.
* WalkingSpoiler: By virtue of being an AmnesiacHero, their past and real role in the story are all titanic spoilers.
* WarriorPrince: They get to be this if they marry any of the various nobles in the party, and of course by birth for being Validar's child.
* WarriorTherapist: Some of the support conversations the Avatar has with their team members.
* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: Like all the Lords, it's GameOver if the Avatar ever gets taken down in battle.
* WeightWoe: In their A-Support with Sully, the Avatar notices that she's begun to lose weight while they themselves are gaining it. They end up using the seaweed medicine that gave them one hell of an upset stomach [[HypocriticalHumor despite warning her not to eat the whole thing]].
* WithThisHerring: Played with. Chrom and Frederick get the weak, but unbreakable [[AncestralWeapon Falchion]] and a Silver Lance, respectively. Meanwhile, the Avatar starts off with... a [[StarterEquipment Bronze Sword and Thunder Tome]]. Justified because the better weapons your characters can equip are usually LevelLockedLoot. The Thunder Tome is your first 1-2 range weapon, so naturally it will be invaluable in the beginning.
* WreathedInFlames: Ignis appears to set the Avatar aflame when it activates.
* {{Workaholic}}: A few of their support conversations have others expressing concern that the Avatar is dangerously overworking themselves.[[/folder]]

-->''"I challenge my fate!"''
'''WARNING: Major spoilers ahead''' ([[WalkingSpoiler This is a double warning]]).
A masked swordsman who claims to be the Hero-King of ages long past. He wields another Falchion, a blade once thought unique, and appears during Chrom's hour of need. Whether he's truly the Hero-King or simply an impersonator is a mystery. ''[[SamusIsAGirl She]]'' is actually [[LukeYouAreMyFather Chrom's daughter]] from the future, ''Lucina''. A kind and just princess who has made it her duty to save the world. In her era, the world was devastated by the reawakened Grima and, by Naga's guidance, she traveled to the past to stop Grima. She loves her father and would do anything to keep him safe. The least likely to get a joke. Her birthday is April 20th.
She's every bit as competent and determined as her father, and can also be one of the most powerful units in the game like him if bred/trained properly. Among the future children, she's considered the most capable.
Lucina appears as a playable character in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU'' and ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', the fourth Lord (after Marth, Ike, and Roy) in the series to be playable in ''Smash'', and is also a playable unit in ''VideoGame/CodenameSTEAM'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' via her ''Smash Bros.'' Toys/{{amiibo}}. She also appears as a playable duo unit (together with her father) in [[VideoGame/ProjectXZone Project X Zone 2]] as well. For details relating to his appearance there, see [[Characters/ProjectXZone2BraveNewWorld here]].
