Lucina (Nintendo)

Lucina is a character in Fire Emblem Awakening. She initially introduces herself as Marth in that game but later reveals herself to someone else entirely. She is also a fighter in the Super Smash Bros. series.

History
Lucina is the daughter of Chrom from the future and has the mark of Naga, known as the Brand of the Exalt, on her left eye. In order to hide her identity (but still help save the world along with other travelers) Lucina changed her hair, donned a mask from Gerome to hide her Brand of the Exalt, and took up the namesake of her ancestor, Marth.

When she journeyed to the past, Lucina came to Chrom and Lissa's aid when a Risen nearly killed Lissa. In Chapter 6, her identity was discovered when she saved Chrom from an assassin. In Chapter 14 she joined her father and the Shepherds on their quest to Valm and to stop the future doom from ever happening.

Super Smash Bros. series
Introduced in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, Lucina is shares the same moveset with Marth. The only different property is that the attacks have a uniform hitbox throughout the blade instead of only at the tip like Marth's.

Normal

 * North America (3DS): Chrom's daughter and the future Princess of Ylisse.

When she arrives from a doomed future seeking to prevent it from ever happening, she goes by the name Marth before her identity is revealed.

 * Europe: Daughter of Chrom and future Princess of Ylisse. When she comes from the future to prevent a terrible future from unfolding, she goes by the name of Marth, but only until her true identity comes to light. She is a very similar fighter to Marth, except it doesn't actually matter which part of her sword she strikes with.

Alt



 * North America: Lucina's moves are much like Marth's, but there are subtle differences. With Marth, you need to try to hit with the tip of his sword, but Lucina's sword is equally powerful all along the blade. Her Shield Breaker move lets her attack opponents and break their shields at the same time. Charge it fully to shatter shields in one hit.

Final Smash



 * North America:  In Lucina's Final Smash, she raises her sword high before dashing swiftly forward to deliver a deadly blow to whomever she makes contact with first. Even if their damage is low, this strike is powerful enough to take out foes in a single hit. Just make sure you don't dash off the stage when you use it in midair!
