Lilina (FE)

Lilina is one of the main characters from the Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade game.

The daughter of Marquess Hector of Ostia. She's childhood friends with Roy.

In the Heroes Coalition fics, Lilina is a member of the Heroes Coalitions and is part of the Omega Force. She also attends the Vanguard Academy as a student.

Appearance
Lilina has a long, back-length blue hair and has blue eyes. She wears a red capelet hold together by a brooch over a red qipao dress and white top, she wears a white plaid skirt over a brown stockings, thigh-high white & orange boots and red headwear. She wears a red buttoned arm-strapped on her right arm and blue strapped belt around her mid-section.

Personality
As a young child, Lilina was very shy and reserved, yet polite and friendly exemplified by her first meeting with Eliwood and his son Roy. Lilina grew especially close to Roy since the two were taught the art of combat in Ostia by Cecilia, becoming one of his closest companions throughout his journey, potentially blossoming into love.

Lilina is outgoing and friendly, even abandoning social obligations between nobility and commoners such as asking Gwendolyn to be her friend, despite the knight's desire to maintain their relationship due to their status. On the other hand, she is also childish and naive to the point of being slightly detached from reality (mentioned in some supports, like those with Garret and Ogier). Emotional, she cries easily when she feels that she has hurt someone's feelings or dredged up painful memories. Her compassion ultimately brings people to her and none are particularly offended or troubled by her.

She can be stubborn like her father but is far more inclined to seek a peaceful solution that her father's inclination to fight. She loves her father dearly and is devastated by his death. Succeeding him as the future leader of Ostia, Lilina desires to improve herself to become a ruler befitting her father's legacy.

Abilities
While boasting a very high Magic growth, Lilina joins at a low level and facing competition for the Chapter 8 Guiding Ring, with the next one appearing in Chapter 14. Lugh, who joins earlier, has similarly low bases with a higher emphasis on Speed and more time for investment. One thing to note is that she has a fast support growth with Roy which grants her important +3 Attack and +15 Accuracy/Critical bonuses. This gives her a niche wielding Bolting tomes later in the game thanks to her high damage output and the possibility of doubling some of the slower enemies thanks to its relatively lower weight in this game. In all, Lilina is a growth unit who joins under-leveled with low base stats at a time when many units should be around Level 10+. She also takes time and effort to train due to her frailty and also because the difficulty is past level 1 at this point.

Trivia

 * Lilina has been in multiple popularity contests and statistics based on character favoritism:
 * On the official Japanese website for Nintendo, Lilina won 3rd place out of 80 in the character popularity poll for Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. The male-female vote ratio is 2:1. The voter comments seem to generally focus on her being a powerful Mage/Sage and her gentle personality.
 * Lilina came in 25th place for females in the 2017 Fire Emblem Heroes Choose Your Legends popularity poll. She had 5,730 votes, ranking in 49th place.
 * If Eliwood married Fiora and Hector married Farina or Florina in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, Lilina would be Roy's first cousin.
 * Hector's B-Rank support conversation with Eliwood has him dreaming of his not-yet-born daughter playing with an red-haired boy in the future, and him getting supremely annoyed at the possibility that he may lose his daughter to Eliwood's son. Unfortunately for Hector, he's right, as Lilina ends up developing feelings for Roy and, depending on the player's actions, ends up marrying him.
 * Lilina is the winner of the 16th Voting Gauntlet (Fathers and Daughters) in Fire Emblem Heroes.
