'''Lyn''' ({{ja|リン|Rin}}, ''Lin''), whose full name is '''Lyndis''', is a character from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} series, specifically ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade}}''. She appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward.


==Origin==
'''Lyn''' (リン, ''Rin''), whose full name is "'''Lyndis'''", is a character from the [[Fire Emblem (universe)|Fire Emblem series]], specifically [[Fire Emblem (game)|''Fire Emblem'']]. She appears as an [[Lyn#As an Assist Trophy|Assist Trophy]], a [[Lyn#Trophy Description|Trophy]], and a [[Lyn#Sticker|Sticker]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.  
Lyndis is the second female main character in the series and the first one since ''Fire Emblem Gaiden''; she is the only one of three main lords of the game who does not appear in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade}}''. Born in the Sacaen Plains, her parents (Lord Hassar, chieftain of the Lorca tribe, and Madelyn, daughter of Lord Hausen of Caelin) were killed by bandits before the beginning of the game.


At the start of the game, Lyn meets the player (who acts as a tactician in the game); after assisting her in defeating bandits near her house, Lyn decides to follow him or her in the interest of training her sword skills. Along the way, she meets with many different characters, some of whom join her on her way; additionally, she later learns of her true fate of being the sole heir of the Caelin throne, and vows to defeat Lord Hausen's brother of Lundgren, who plans on taking the throne for himself. Lyn's eleven chapters primarily serve as a tutorial to new players, and her mode also had the unique feature in that it was the first time in the ''Fire Emblem'' series where characters can lose all their HP, but still be playable later in the game.
==Character description==
Lyn is the second female main character in the series and the first one since ''Fire Emblem Gaiden''. Born in the Sacaen Plains, her parents—Lord Hassar, chieftain of the Lorca tribe, and Madelyn, daughter of Lord Hausen of Caelin—were killed by bandits before the beginning of the game. Unlike most Fire Emblem games, ''Fire Emblem'' has a tactician character to represent the player. He/She has no lines, and has minimal effect on game (gender modifies certain lines said to the Tactician, and Tactician's birth month adjusts certain character's stats during chapters). Upon meeting him or her, Lyn decides to follow him or her in the interest of training her sword skills.


Lyn later returns for both Eliwood's and Hector's stories; initially driven out of Castle Caelin by the Laus Army, she is assisted by Eliwood and Hector to reclaim the castle, and she later continues to travel with them, with plans to destroy the Black Fang and their leader Nergal's plans to bring dragons back to life.
Lyn is the main lord for the Prologue to Chapter 10 of the game and is the only lord in ''Fire Emblem'' that does not appear as an NPC in ''[[Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade]]''. Her eleven chapters serve as a way to teach the player how to play the game and how various mechanics of the game work. Her chapters are also the only time where character death is not permanent [[Image:Lyn.jpg|thumb|250px|Lyn slashes Wario]] to the game (except if she dies, the player loses). Her chapters may be skipped on later play-throughs, as all they do is allow the player to increase the stats and levels of characters that appear during her portion of the story.


In both ''Smash Bros.'' games, her attack as an Assist Trophy is a mix of her critical attack and her normal attack as a Lord before she is promoted in ''Fire Emblem''. Unlike the playable ''Fire Emblem'' characters who fight with their legendary weapons (with the exception of [[Robin]]), Lyn wields the Mani Katti, not her more powerful semi-legendary weapon, the Sol Katti. However, the Mani Katti is the partner blade of Sol Katti, both of which are unique to Lyn. Finally, an emblem clone of herself appears in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Engage}}''.

===As an Assist Trophy===


==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
In ''Brawl'', Lyn appears as an [[Assist Trophy]]. She charges her sword, then disappears and reappears near an enemy, slashing them. This is a mix of her critical attack and her normal attack as a Lord before she is promoted in ''Fire Emblem''. This attack is amazingly powerful and accurate, even against a moving or airborne foe. It can also hit someone edge grabbing. She can KO at damages as low as 32%, and can only be avoided with a well timed airdodge or roll. She usually hits the opponent closest to her.
===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===
[[File:Lyn.jpg|thumb|left|Lyn slashes Wario in ''Brawl''.]]
In ''Brawl'', Lyn appears as an [[Assist Trophy]]. Upon being summoned, she charges her sword and causes the screen to darken, before teleporting near an enemy to deliver a slash. She usually hits the opponent closest to her. The slash is very powerful (KOing even heavyweights at as low as 35%) and pinpoint accurate (even against a moving or airborne foes). It can also hit an enemy that is edge grabbing. However, her attack can be avoided with a well-timed air dodge or roll, and Lyn will pseudo-self destruct without attacking if she happens to be summoned over terrain that will disappear before she lands. The animation of her slash and the screen darkening is similar to [[Meta Knight]]'s [[Galaxia Darkness]].


If Lyn lands in the spot she was summoned, but lands again in a different spot (like from a breakable block of [[Mushroomy Kingdom]]), she will automatically strike her closest target.
In this appearance, Lyn wields the Mani Katti, not her more powerful quasi-legendary Weapon, the Sol Katti, in comparison the playable Fire Emblem characters (Marth, Roy and Ike), who fight with their legendary weapons (The [[Falchion]], [[Sword of Seals]], and [[Ragnell]], respectively). However, it should be noted that the Mani Katti is the partner blade of Sol Katti, both of which are unique to Lyn.


Lyn is voiced by Lani Minella in English and Makiko Ōmoto in Japanese. ''Brawl'' was the first game to give Lyn voice lines, and her Japanese voice actress would continue to voice her in games since ''{{s|fireemblem|Fire Emblem Heroes}}''.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
==Trivia==
===As an Assist Trophy===
*Interestingly, Lyn is the one of only two Assist Trophies in the game whose actual [[trophy]] is different from her artwork on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]]. [[Dr. Wright]] is the other. They share the same Hair color though having a different tint of green.
[[File:Lyn-WiiU.png|thumb|Lyn as she appears in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.]]
*Lyn's Trophy description in ''Brawl'' contradicts the in-game text from ''Fire Emblem''; describing her as being 15 years of age while the game states her age to be 18 . This is most likely attributed to ''Brawl'' and ''Fire Emblem'' having separate localization staffs. Lyn's age is 15 in the original Japanese release. When ''Fire Emblem'' was localized for Western audiences audience, her age was changed to 18. The ''Brawl'' localization team apparently failed to note the change and wrote the description referring to the Japanese age. Compare with [[Black Knight]]. (This is corrected in the PAL version.)
Lyn reprises her role as an Assist Trophy, functioning similarly to her appearance in ''Brawl'' and reusing her voice clips from the game. However, she can now be defeated by taking enough hits and her attack is heavily [[nerfed]], but has a larger hitbox. While she still performs the same slash, it now appears as a crescent-shaped slice instead of a straight line across the screen.
*If Lyn lands in the spot she was summoned, but lands again in a different spot, (like from a breakable block from the [[Mushroomy Kingdom]])she will automatically strike her closest target.
{{clr}}
*When summoned, Lyn says "Prepare yourself," or "I'll handle this.", and when attacking, she says "Taste my Blade!" or shouts a battle cry, making her, [[Shadow the Hedgehog]] and [[Gray Fox]] the only [[Assist Trophy | Assist Trophies]] to speak in full sentences. (Unless [[Mr. Resetti]] is counted)
*There is a glitch in [[Shadow Moses Island]] that causes Lyn to become stuck when summoned should someone summon her while a pillar is being repaired below the summoning player.

Lyn's trophy appears in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''Heroes of the Emblem'' [[Trophy Box]].

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
{{Fire Emblem universe}}
===As an Assist Trophy===
[[File:SSBUWebsiteMarth6.jpg|thumb|Lyn posing with [[Marth]] in ''Ultimate''.]]
Lyn returns as an Assist Trophy. Her model has been updated with more realistic proportions, including smaller eyes. The underside of her skirt is now obscured by shadows. Her attack also now causes a [[Special Zoom]].
 
She can be defeated, just like her appearance in ''Smash 4''. She has much lower health than most other Assist Trophies, but if an attack fails to KO her, she will retaliate instantly. [[Training Mode]] describes her Assist Trophy: ''Prepares and then executes a devastating slash. If she's struck, she'll counterattack.''
 
Like ''Smash 4'', Lyn's voice clips in ''Ultimate'' are reused from ''Brawl''. {{s|Wikipedia|Wendee Lee}}, who has portrayed her since ''Fire Emblem Heroes'', is credited in ''Ultimate'' despite this. [[Lucina]] is the only other ''Fire Emblem'' character in ''Ultimate'' to not have her current English actor.
{{clrl}}
 
===Spirits===
Lyn also appears as two different [[primary spirit]]s.
 
Lyn's Spirit Battle uses a [[Zero Suit Samus]] puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Gaur Plain]] stage's [[Battlefield form]]. During the battle, Zero Suit Samus starts off with a [[Killing Edge]] and her attack power will increase when she is at high damage, referencing Lyn's main weapon, the {{s|fireemblem|Mani Katti}}, a powerful sword which can boost its wielder's critical hit.
 
Lyn (Blade Lord) can be obtained by [[enhanceable spirit|enhancing]] the Lyn spirit at level 99.

==Trivia==
*Lyn is one of the only three Assist Trophies in ''Brawl'', alongside [[Dr. Wright]] and [[Mr. Resetti]], whose actual [[trophy]] is different from her artwork on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]].
*Lyn's [[NTSC]] trophy description in ''Brawl'' contradicts the English in-game text from ''Fire Emblem''; the trophy describes her as being 15 years of age while the game states her age to be 18. This error is due to different translation teams; in the Japanese version of ''Fire Emblem'', her age was in fact 15. This error was later fixed in the PAL versions of ''Brawl''.
*On [[Shadow Moses Island]] in ''Brawl'', if Lyn is summoned on a watchtower as it is being repaired, she will get stuck at the top. She will stay in her falling animation and never despawn, even if the watchtower is destroyed again.
*Lyn is the only ''Fire Emblem'' Assist Trophy not to originate from an installment that is represented by a playable fighter.
**However, her installment is a prequel to ''Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade'', [[Roy]]'s game of origin.
*In a similar vein to [[Kirby]], Roy, and [[Pit]], Makiko Ōmoto, her Japanese voice actress from ''Brawl'', has been carried over into recent ''Fire Emblem'' games, starting with ''Fire Emblem Heroes''.
