—Lute in a support conversation with Knoll
Lute is a playable character in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.
Personality[]
Lute is an extremely studious, if not eccentric, young mage. She believes she is a prodigy, and tells this to everyone she meets. Given her enormous wealth of knowledge and her alleged ability to remember practically everything she reads, hears, and sees, it is hard to argue with her. She's the opposite of her best friend, Artur, in that she spends most of her time inside studying as opposed to being outside. She has a motto: "There's no one better than me!", and also often claims "I am superior, after all."
Lute is boastful and has a habit of "monk watching" (spying on Artur). In one of her support conversations with Knoll, whom she also stalks in the beginning to the point of making him unnerved, she claims to have some supposed "knowledge" about him. She is like Canas from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, since he claims to be a scholar as well. For all her studies, she does have a great lack of knowledge of less academic matters such as love, a subject that flusters her greatly.

Lute is a mage that joins the player's army in chapter 5. While her offensive growth rates are extremely impressive, her base stats are below average for her join time, and her low con of 3 causes her to be slowed down by all tomes prior to promotion, causing her effective speed to quite often be lower than her speed stat would imply. Despite this, she has the highest magic growth of all playable units, and a decent speed growth. Once she has grown out of her low starting state, she will become able to successfully double attack many enemies units, almost always one rounding them as a result of her high attack. Care must be taken with her placement, as her durability in regards to avoid and defense are mediocre, only becoming more acceptable once she has either promoted or built up support bonuses. Until then, she can avoid most attacks by attacking at range, working as an effective offensive unit.
Upon promotion, Lute has the option to promote to either Mage Knight or Sage, both of which give her access to Staves. Her Sage promotion gives her slightly higher defense and resistance gains, as well as access to Light Magic for weapon triangle control. Her Mage Knight promotion gives her 7 movement and canto, and a slightly higher bonus to magic, as well as giving her a much higher bonus to constitution, which will drastically improve her effective speed when using any tome other than a Fire tome. In the main campaign, where class stat caps are largely irrelevant, her Mage Knight promotion is largely superior, but players planning on playing in the Creature Campaign may prefer to promote her to Sage, as it has significantly higher stat caps, as well as access to light tomes, should they be desired.

Prodigy Lute | |||
---|---|---|---|
Here's Lute, the prodigy without equal…or at least, that's what she calls herself! She's a rather unusual mage whose remarks tend to catch people off guard. | |||
Lute has been gifted ever since she was a child. I hear her curious, quirky behavior made her hard to keep up with, even at an early age! | |||
When monsters attacked her village, Lute joined the army of Renais to help fend them off. I wonder if she was secretly more interested in studying the monsters than fighting them… | |||
You see, Lute's always been interested in studying unusual creatures, and— Is it just me, or does it feel like we're being watched? You don't think she's studying me, do you?! | |||
Closely Associated Characters | |||
Artur | A monk from Renais. Serious and devoted to his faith. He and Lute have been friends since childhood. | ||
Ross | Son of Garcia, a warrior of Renais. A very straightforward and honest lad raised without a mother. He greatly admires his father's skill. His training didn't prepare him for Lute's sharp tongue. |
- Summer Prodigy
- A young mage of Renais possessed of a rather unusual temperament. She is searching for signs of new magics among the summer sands. Appears in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

Who's that in a swimsuit reading through a book about plants and herbs? I'll give you a hint: “There's no one better than me!” That's right, it's Lute! | |||
Lute comes from Renais, and she joined Ephraim and Eirika in their battle against Grado—though I get the impression that her research into magic was always her priority. | |||
Even while she's on vacation, there's no stopping her burning desire for knowledge! I wonder if she's browsing that book for herbs that will be useful for her magic? | |||
Anyway, doesn't she look great? Oh, hang on, Lute wants to add something… “Of course my swimsuit is the perfect choice. Must I remind you that I am also a prodigy of profound genius?” Well, there you go—I guess she's just as much of a prodigy at fashion as she is at magic! | |||
Closely Associated Characters | |||
Eirika | Princess of Renais. Ephraim's twin. Cares dearly for her brother. Her kindness has sometimes put her in danger. During her travels, she gains Lute and her friend Artur as allies. |
