Lyndis
Lyndis (short name Lyn) is a teenaged fictional charater of the video game Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, the only Fire Emblem game to be released in the U.S.
Brief bio
Born in the Sacean Plains, her parents (Hassar and Madelyn) were killed by bandits. She lived alone in her house until she finds a tactitian (you [or Mark]) lying on the ground. She then decides that nothing will change if she does not leave, so she goes in search of her maternal grandfather Lord Hausen, who she hopes will take her in. The player's job is to help her through her storyline by directing Lyn and the friends she makes (such as the cavaliers Sain and Kent) in battle. The player has his/her own game sprite, but it is only seen during story scenes and doesn't appear during the actual fighting at all.
Her story in short
Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
<p> After several battles and new allies (all of which will join you automatically), you have to defeat a level in which you save the old priest of a certain shrine. In gratitude, he allows Lyndis to try to draw the sword Mani Katti, which is protected by spirts and housed in the shrine. As it turns out, she is the only one who can draw the legendary sword. Since she can draw and, apparently, wield the sword, the priest tells her to take it with her.

Several battles and snippets of storyline later, she finds out that her grandfather is dying. At first it seems that he is dying a natural death, but then she finds out he is being poisened by another Marquess, Lyn's great-uncle Lungdren. He is set on replacing Lyn's grandfather as Marquess Caelin, and will go to any length, including telling him that Lyn is dead, and that he has no reason to live. Obviously, you fight a battle against him, and when he is killed, Lyn rushes to her grandfather. After a talk with Lyn, her grandfather recovers, Lyn stays with him at Castle Caelin, and you leave. Afterwards, she walks around on a journey with her grandfather.
