So, when the game first came out, and Lucina saves Chrom in it, she does it by showing up and telling him that shes about to save his life, and then an assassin jumps out of a bush and she cuts him down. But given the context we have of her life, where she grew up in an apocalyptic future after her parents were dead and came back in time to save everyone, theres no possible way shed know which random bush an assassin would hide behind to kill her father. Thats why I associate her with bushes.

Its strange how Fire Emblem is now known for its waifus, but we only got three FE waifus in this list. One of them was Shamir, whos a complete no-name compared to Lyn and Lycina. Lucina, and not Tharja? Because boy oh boy, would I have had things to say about Tharja. But since weve got Lucina, lets talk about her.

Lucinas kind, brave, and all of that, and shes a little goofy. Anime stuff generally knows to give its regal characters just a little bit of goofiness to keep them relatable, which is a good move. Mainly, Lucinas goofiness manifests in her being terrible at jokes and trying to be serious even when its not really necessary. Most importantly, shes got a good moment halfway through the game. Shes like Sorry dude, it turns out that youre the vessel for an evil god or whatever, its not very well explained even in the game, but killing you will save the world from the Terminator future, so Im gonna do it. Normally, you either refuse to let her kill you and she backs off, or Chrom shows up and stops her from killing you. But! Theres a special version of the scene where if shes your waifu, shell be like Nah okay I wont kill you after all. So, what we know from this that Lucina wont murder her boyfriend, which is definitely a positive.

And as for Girlfiendness, yeah, Lucina proves herself time and again really devoted to her causes and her family. I guess she doesnt really have much in the way of marketable skills, but shes also a princess, so she wins points there. Even better, shes also not really an adventurer. She only goes on an adventure to save her fathers life (understandable) and stop the world from being blown up (extra understandable).

Is Lucina the most undeserving Smash character after Dark Pit? Im struggling to think of anyone else who got in so clearly just because they can easily be closed off of someone else. At the very least, she has the worst announcement pun (Lucina wakes her blade?!). Daisy is the only other contender, but even shes at least got a little more of a history to her. By the way, pulling up Lucina on Google reminded me of the existence of Fire Emblem Heroes, where I learned about Resplendent Hero Lucina, her twelve-year-old child form you can play as. Because of course theres a twelve-year-old child version of Lucina available in that game. Anything is real if Nowi is real.

Theres honestly not that much else to say about Lucina. Shes just a really good waifu who was clearly designed from the ground-up to be the face of her game which is odd, because shes sort of not the face of her game? Im not clear on if Nintendo intended for her to get as popular as she did.
