Fire Emblem Awakening/Characters

Chrom
Chrom is the Lord and main hero of the game. Similarly to Robin, the game is over once he dies, so take caution so that never happens.

The Avatar
The Avatar is a customizable character who represents the player. You choose this character's name, gender, and appearance. The Avatar serves as a secondary hero of the game. He/she can be reclassed to any class his/her gender permits, and can marry any opposite-gendered character (except Morgan, imported Avatars from StreetPass, and Einherjar). Notably, he/she is the only first-generation character who can marry a second-generation character. Similarly to Chrom, his death results in a Game Over, so take caution to ensure he never dies.

Lissa
Lissa is Chrom's younger sister. She is the only unit you get that can heal other characters up until Chapter 5, and is quite fragile, so if you are playing on Classic Mode, take extra caution to ensure she never falls in battles prior to said chapter.

Frederick
Frederick is Chrom's loyal retainer. He starts as a ridiculously strong promoted Great Knight, and will remain useful for a huge portion of the game. Do not rely on him too much, however, otherwise your other units will turn out underpowered.

Morgan (Male)
Morgan's gender will always be the opposite of the Avatar's.

Morgan (Female)
Morgan's gender will always be the opposite of the Avatar's.
