Canon
Chulainn and Ayra are two playable characters in Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War. They are both descendant of the crusader Od and both inherits a minor holy blood from him. Ayra is the daughter of the king of Isaach. Chulainn is a noble of Isaach. They meet when they were very young and Chulainn instantly fall in love for Ayra.

On the beginning of the game there is a war between Grannvale (an other kingdom) and Isaach. Knowing that they will loose the war, Mariccle (Isaach's prince and Ayra's older brother) ask to his sister to take Shannan (his son) and to go to Verdan where they will be in safety (since Verdan isn't an ally of Grannvale). At Verdan, Ayra is forced to fight for Cimbaeth (prince of Verdan) who hold Shannan hostage. Shannan is finally saved by Sigurd (a noble from Grannvale who didn't go to the war against Isaach) and Ayra joins is army. For an unknow reason Chulainn became a gladiator in Augustria (an other kingdom). He decide to joins Sigurd's army after been defeated for the first time in the arena by a member of Sigurd's army (potentially Ayra). Ayra didn't recognize Chulainn.

In chapter 3 they had a conversation, Chulainn give a brave sword to Ayra. He say that one day he might not be here to watch her back and ask her to look after herself. If they reach enough love points together they will wed. If in chapter 5 they are married together they will have a special conversation. Ayra ask Chulainn if everything is alright, he reveals that he knows her since their childhood, that he instantly fell for her and that keeping her safe means everything to him. At the end of chapter 5, Sigurd is betrayed and killed by Arvis. Most of his army died with him. Ayra and Chulainn's fate are unknown. In the second generation their two children are playable, their daughter Larcei inherits her mother's inventory while their son Scáthach inherits his father's.

If he is their father both Scáthach and Larcei will get a major Od Holy Blood (otherwise they will only get a minor Holy blood) which give them the possibility to use the powerful sword Balmung. Chularyra's shipper like battle couple of the ship.

On Ayra's side the main rival pairing is Ayra x Lex. For strategic reasons some player prefer to pair Ayra with Lex: solid statistics and the useful skills Vantage and Parangon. However strategic Chulayra's shippers argue that if Arya marry Lex, Scáthach couldn't inherits weapons from his father.

On Chulainn's side the main rival pairing is Chulainn x Briggid who is mainly shipped for strategiques purpose.
