Personality:
When the player is first introduced to Lucina, she's goes by the name of "Marth," a famous hero from Ylisse's history.  This is fitting, as Lucina turns out, in many ways, to be like Marth.  She helps her friends and companions without thinking, and people tend to gravitate around her, and view her as a leader.  This is rather fitting, as she grew up as the heir to the throne of Ylisse.

And, like any good ruler, she'd do anything to save her people.  While she was born to two loving parents in a prosperous kingdom, both of her parents were killed in the onset of a major war that devastated their kingdom, leaving her and her sibling orphans.  Growing up in a warzone certainly left a mark on her personality.  She became resourceful and determined, if only because anything else meant death.  When one of the gemstones that's necessary to drive the fell dragon Grima from their land is lost, she spearheads the effort to go back into the past to defeat him before the calamity can occur.  She constantly strives to do anything she can to prevent the terrible future from occurring, from thwarting an assassination attempt on the exalt, to almost killing Robin (the future vessel of Grima), despite the former being her father's best friend.  

To achieve her goals, she's even willing to sacrifice her personal happiness; when she first ventures into the past, despite meeting her father and extended family, she doesn't reveal who she is, instead working alone from the shadows.  In a conversation at the hot springs with Robin, it's revealed that after the war is over, she's planning to disappear from her parent's lives because she's afraid that her presence will cause them undo hardship and worry; her epilogue reinforces this, and it's revealed the last thing she says to her current self is that "[hers] will be a happy future."

Despite Lucina's strong exterior, however, she's a very emotional character.  When she first reveals who she is to her family, she sinks into her father's arms, crying, after finally being reunited with her family after so long.  Although she doesn't admit it, her experience in the future fills her with a constant fear and dread that the past cannot be changed.  She admits as much in her non-sibling conversations with Morgan; she's afraid, despite their efforts, Grima will be resurrected.  She also shows this fear in the Future Past DLC; when the company is taken to a future similar to her own, she insists that her father not fight, afraid that she'll lose him again.

And her father, Chrom, is certainly the most important person in her life.  Although it's never mentioned how old she was when he died, she was old enough to have been taught swordplay, and at least have been partially raised, by him.  It's his death that sparks the war, and it's him that (in addition to her country), that she travels back in time to save.  In her non-parent support conversations with Robin, she goes so far as to track Robin's movement outside of her father's tent, afraid that their strategist might have "nefarious reasons" for being nearby.  Even though it's occasionally played for laughs, Lucina loves her father more than anything, and carries Falchion constantly at her side, wanting more than anything to follow in his footsteps.

 Although not as strong, she has a good relationship with the rest of her family, too.   In her sibling supports, it's revealed that the same serious attitude that she had in the future seems to be the same attitude she has in the present, that gives off an air of being unreachable.  She can also sometimes grow frustrated with her sibling, or show a less serious side of her personality, even if it is rare.In her mother supports, she goes shopping with her mother, even if her mother later ends up regretting it, as it's revealed that Lucina has a horrible fashion sense.

Her horrible fashion sense is an offshoot of her difficulty reading people, which was likely caused by the conditions which she grew up in.  She reveals in her supports with Noire, that she wasn't initially able to tell when the former was angry or upset, and only realized it after Noire herself had pointed it out.  In her supports with Robin, Robin refers to her as someone who "holds nothing back" and "says what's on her mind, no matter what."  Her bio describes her as the least likely to understand a joke in the army.

However, even though she has a difficulty reading emotion (such as in a joke), it doesn't negatively affect her relationship with her comrades.  She's a (painfully) honest and hardworking person, which tends to naturally draw people towards her.  Her support conversations with Tiki point this out; when she has free time, she goes around and helps the army with its chores, for no other reason than she has the time to do so.  Everything she does she does with enthusiasm and the best intentions (even if it sometimes it goes awry, ala Robin's support conversations or Tiki's Harvest Scramble conversations), and people rarely fault her for it.  She's a natural leader, who often doesn't realize the effect that she has on people, and is every bit the image of the old hero-king, Marth.

Abilities:  As the heir to House Ylisse and a descendant of the first Exalt and hero-king, she has the ability to wield Falchion, a sword of legend, made to slay dragons.  While she's studied magic, she's much more skilled in swordplay.

Her default class for the game will be Great Lord.

She also has the following skills:

Dual Strike +: Adds a 10% to Dual Strike Rate
Charm: Hit and Avoid Rate +5 to all allies within a 3-square radius
Aether: Attack Twice; First with Sol (Which heals half damage done) and then Luna (Which halves opponents defense)
Rightful King: Add 10% to skill activation rate.

[The video feed clicks on, revealing Lucina wearing a bright Hawaiin shirt covered in a certain symbol.  The color clashes rather vividly with the background, but anyone who can look past the mess of colors will find that Lucina's smiling as she addresses her audience. Falchion is at her side.];

Good afternoon.

I was wondering if anybody would be interested in sparring later.  This place is rather peaceful, but I'd rather not let my swordplay grow lax, in case I'm suddenly sent home.

[Her expression sobers considerably, as if there's something else she wants to say.  Despite the air of peace, there's still a lingering fear that something could happen here, too.  It's unlikely, but not impossible.  Should that happen, she can't afford to falter, and she can't afford to ease up on her training.]

If anyone is willing to join me, please meet me at Veda Tech's gym after sunset.  That is all.

Third Person:  
Lucina couldn't remember the last time she'd been out shopping like this.  She'd been able to take a few trips with her mother during the war, but even those had still been burdened with an air of urgency.  For once, everything was peaceful, and there was truly nothing to be lost from going on an afternoon excursion.  Besides, several of her friends had mentioned that her style of dress was out of place, and while she didn't necessarily understand the significance, there was no harm in adjusting.

At least, that was what she was trying to tell herself.  But, even in such a peaceful land, she couldn't help but think of her other home.  Of Ylisse.  How were the others faring in the final battle?  Had they won?  Was Grima gone?  What of Robin?  What of her father?  What would happen to the future she'd come from if they were able to defeat Grima?  That future held so little for her to call happy, and yet, it was her who should have (and would have, if not for the lost gemstone) lead those people into a brighter future.  And yet, here she was, unable to do anything.  No matter how peaceful this land seemed, she'd never be able to shake her thoughts of home.  And, no matter how bright the clothes she wore, she'd never fully be adjusted to peace.

She was already carrying several shopping bags, although she was trying her best to limit her spending.  It was likely that she'd only need to take a trip like this once, especially if she was able to take advantage of the sales and get enough clothing for the following months.  She'd already purchased enough for spring and winter (although winter didn't seem to be harsh here, from what she'd heard).  

Several of the store attendants had given her odd looks as she shopped, but she'd brushed it off as having a more "manly" style, so to speak. While she'd also bought several dresses, the men's shirts had all been comfortable and better suited to the climate, and had come in a wider array of bright colors.  A couple of the attendants had seemed to express concern of Falchion, but she hadn't meant to carry the sword to frighten them.  She was afraid of leaving it at home for any extended period of time and, truth be told, felt better when she was carrying it.  Like it was a safety net, of some sort.

Noting the time, she headed into one last store.  Thankfully, there was only one other customer inside.
