“Yeah, but I heard you only had a few soldiers in Chalphy. And I know you, Sigurd. You are always jumping into this kind of stuff without thinking. Especially with Father being away... I knew I had to come.”
—Ethlyn, to Sigurd in Genealogy of the Holy War

Ethlyn (エスリン Esurin, translated Ethlin in the Fire Emblem Museum and Eslin in the Super Tactics Book) is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. She is Sigurd's younger sister, the wife of Prince Quan of Leonster, the mother of Altena and Leif, and the aunt of Seliph. Despite being the younger sibling, Ethlyn became Sigurd's parent figure after the death of their mother. She is said to be greatly admired by Finn's compatriot Selfina, who looked up to her motherly, elegant and kind character.

Ethlyn is killed alongside Quan while protecting her daughter Altena during Travant's ambush during the Yied Massacre in Chapter 5. Quan is killed shortly afterwards, with Travant subsequently kidnapping Altena.

According to unofficial manga-based statistics, Ethlyn was born in Gran 739. She stands at 164 centimeters in height, weighs 47.1 kilograms, and her blood type is A.

OverallEdit

Unlike her brother Sigurd, Ethlyn is not a good fighter. Her primary role is that of a healer, but her unsatisfactory magic growth essentially means that she is unable to effectively heal the wounds of her allies. It is highly recommended for her to obtain the Return Staff from Adean in Chapter 1 and the Light Sword from Deirdre in Chapter 2, both of which are extremely versatile and useful items. Additionally, the player should ensure that Ethlyn sells off any staves that she may have in her possession before the end of Chapter 3, as Leif is unable to inherit them.

ConversationsEdit

In the Prologue, Ethlyn may speak to Sigurd, but nothing will result of it.

In Chapter 1, if Adean speaks to Ethlyn, Ethlyn will receive the Return Staff.

In Chapter 2, if Deirdre speaks to Ethlyn, Ethlyn will receive the Light Sword.

In Chapter 3, if Ethlyn speaks to Quan, he will receive the Gáe Bolg.

LoveEdit

Ethlyn is lovers with Quan by default, and thus does not possess any love growths with any other character in the game.
