Lucina is a character from the Fire Emblem video game series. She is the daughter of Chrom from the future and is a playable character in Fire Emblem Awakening. Lucina has multiple potential love interests and can marry several different characters in the game through the support system.
Lucina’s Background
Lucina is the princess of Ylisse and daughter of Chrom, the prince of Ylisse, and his wife Sumia. She was born in the original timeline where the Fell Dragon Grima laid waste to the world. To prevent this ruinous future, she traveled back in time to intervene.
Lucina disguises herself as Marth and joins Chrom’s army to help change the course of history. Depending on who her father marries, Lucina can have siblings such as Cynthia, Kjelle, Brady, Inigo, or Morgan.
Lucina’s Marriage Options
Lucina has a total of 13 possible love interests and can achieve an S-support level with any male character that is not her father, Chrom. The potential candidates are:
- Robin (the player avatar)
- Owain
- Inigo
- Brady
- Gerome
- Laurent
- Yarne
- Male Morgan (if Lucina is his mother)
If playing as female Robin, Lucina cannot be married. Her potential love interests then include:
- Chrom (Lucina’s father)
- Frederick
- Virion
- Stahl
- Vaike
- Kellam
- Lon’qu
- Ricken
- Gaius
- Donnel
- Gregor
- Libra
Key Factors in Determining Lucina’s Spouse
Several factors go into determining who Lucina can marry in Fire Emblem Awakening:
The Player’s Choice
The player’s preference is the biggest factor, as Lucina has multiple potential love interests. The player can shape her supports and choose who she marries.
Relationship Building
Lucina must achieve an S-rank support level with a potential love interest to marry them. This requires consistent relationship building through battle and conversations.
Gender of Robin
If playing as female Robin, she cannot marry Lucina. This limits Lucina’s options compared to playing as male Robin.
Gameplay Benefits
Some pairs produce more optimal children for gameplay purposes. But any pairing is viable to beat the game.
Story Implications
Certain pairs have interesting story implications, like Chrom’s daughter marrying his best friend Robin.
Lucina’s 5 Most Popular Spouses
1. Robin
The male player avatar Robin is Lucina’s most common marriage choice. Since Robin is a customizable character, it allows players to imagine themselves with Lucina. Their S-support conversations have a tender romance fitting of a protagonist. Lucina admires Robin’s tactics and feels comforted by his presence. Their child Morgan can be extremely powerful, inheriting the lethal combination of Lucina’s speed and Robin’s magic.
2. Chrom
If playing as female Robin, Lucina’s father Chrom is the popular backup choice. Their relationship creates a strange paradox where Lucina becomes both Chrom’s daughter and his wife. But their S-support is heartwarming, revealing how much Chrom cares for Lucina and wants to prevent her ruinous future. Their child Lucina is nearly identical to her future self.
3. Gerome
The brooding Wyvern Rider Gerome has an opposite attracts dynamic with the stalwart Lucina. Gerome hides his face behind a mask but comes to trust and rely on Lucina. Their child Morgan doesn’t inherit Gerome’s shyness, bringing light into his life. As a pair, Lucina helps ground Gerome while he gives her space.
4. Inigo
Lucina’s philandering friend Inigo makes for an unexpected pairing. Their supports are lively and sweet, with Inigo dropping his flirtatious facade to have heartfelt talks. Lucina brings out Inigo’s responsible side in return. Their child Morgan inherits little of Inigo’s womanizing ways.
5. Owain
Lucina’s hyperbolic cousin Owain has fantastic chemistry with her more serious personality. Their theatrical, imaginative supports are very memorable. Owain’s antics help Lucina relax while she encourages him to temper his colorful behavior. Their Morgan becomes a magic prodigy, taking after Owain’s theatrical combat style.
Least Popular Spouses
Some of Lucina’s more lackluster pairings include Laurent, Yarne, and Brady. Laurent’s clinical nature doesn’t mesh well with Lucina. Yarne is too cowardly for Lucina’s taste. And Brady’s gloomy personality dampens the genial Lucina. Their supports tend to be dry and unromantic. But these are still viable options for players that prefer them.
Lucina’s Spouse and Story Impact
Lucina’s husband has minimal impact on the overall story. No matter her love interest, Lucina continues fighting to change the future and save the world from Grima. Her motivations and character arc remain consistent across all supports.
That said, her husband can influence smaller story beats. For example, Owain, Inigo, Brady, and Cynthia have stronger connections to Lucina’s background if they are her spouse or child. And Robin stands the closest by her side as his wife in the climatic battle against Grima. But the core narrative stays largely the same.
Ideal Spouses For Lucina
Robin
As the protagonist, Robin has the most organic chemistry and touching supports with Lucina. Their romance fits the overall narrative well too.
Gerome
Gerome’s contrasting personality leads to interesting relationship growth with Lucina. Their support conversations have emotional depth and insight.
Inigo
Inigo sheds his flirtatious persona to have sincere and engaging talks with Lucina. Their playful dynamic makes for a fun pairing.
Owain
Owain’s bombastic theatrics help Lucina relax and embrace her lighter side. They complement each other nicely.
Conclusion
Lucina has many potential love interests but tends to find an ideal match with Robin, Gerome, Inigo, or Owain. However, players are free to shape Lucina’s relationships themselves. Her spouse choice has limited impact on the overall story. But marrying characters like Owain does strengthen their background ties. Ultimately, Lucina finds happiness regardless with the love and warmth she is shown. Through forming bonds in the past, she is able to build a brighter future.
