RoyLili

"I'm the one who's known him the longest. I can't lose to those other girls!"

- Lilina about her feelings for Roy

RoyLili is the het ship between Roy and Lilina from the Fire Emblem fandom.

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
In the epilogue of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, Lilina has 10 years old and was under the care of her father Hector.

When Eliwood visits Hector, they discuss the events that happened earlier. Eliwood decides to introduce his son Roy to Hector, who also decides to introduce his daughter Lilina to Roy. Both children are the same age at the time. The parents decide to take Roy and Lilina out to play.

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
Lilina and Roy, being childhood friends, studied together in Ostia under the tutelage of General Cecilia. When war breaks out between the Lycian Alliance and Bern, Eliwood sends for his son Roy to return to Pherae. When he arrives, he finds his castle overrun by bandits, with Lilina and Eliwood inside. Roy wins the confrontation, saving them both from the bandits. When the three are reunited, Eliwood tells Lilina to return to Ostia, as Marquis Hector is absent, and she, being his daughter, should take over the throne while awaiting her father's return, to reassure her people of the present war. Lilina obeys and heads for home, but not before leaving Roy's protection to her trusted knight, Bors.

Lilina rushes back to Ostia, but upon arrival, unfortunately and without knowing why, she is captured and taken hostage inside a room in her own castle, just as an Ostia rebellion led by General Legance breaks out. When Roy arrives at the castle, defeats Legance and saves Lilina from being killed by the enemy general, he tells her about the death of her father, Lord Hector, in the castle of Araphen. Understanding this, she takes Roy to a secret cave on the outskirts of Ostia, where she gives him one of the divine weapons: Durandal. From then on, Lilina accompanies and helps Roy's army fighting against their enemies with her magic anima skills for the rest of the game.

During the course of the game, she shows great love for Roy; if she is not thinking of him, it is because the memory of her father fills her with melancholy. Even in both support A with Marcus and support B with Gonzalez, Lilina confesses to being in love with Roy. Marcus encourages her to openly propose to him, while Gonzalez simply gets upset out of jealousy and leaves.

At the end of the game, if Lilina is still alive when Roy defeats Idounn, Roy will attend with Lilina the coronation ceremony of Princess Guinivere as the new queen of Bern. Also, if Lilina and Roy get A support together, they will both marry and become the King and Queen of the united Kingdom of Lycia.

Fire Emblem Heroes
Roy and Lilina are two of the heroes that the player can summon separately via the Breidablik using orbs to help Alfonse and his sister Sharena defending their kingdom Askr from the Emblian Empire. As in their original game, Roy and Lilina can develop a bond via support. They can raise their level of support in the following ranks: C, B, A and S if they stand together in the gameplay. Each has their variations, the normal, the resplendent, the Valentine-themed and the legendary. Although Roy does not have a beach-themed variation, like Lilina. In their legendary versions, both wield their respective Elibean legendary weapons that were used in the Scouring: Roy wields the Binding Blade and Lilina wields the Forblaze tome.

There was a special event for both of them, named Love Abounds, in which Roy and Lilina were depicted as lovebirds, with the theme of Valentine's Day on February 9, 2018, along with the three main lords from The Blazing Blade (Eliwood, Hector and Lyn) which were available until the The True Quarry update was released on March 9, 2018.

Two small images of both together can be found in the Fire Emblem Heroes guide.

There are many artworks of Roy in Fire Emblem Cipher and in the ones where Roy is accompanied, he is usually depicted with Lilina together in most of them.

Super Smash Bros. series
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Roy was included as a selectable fighter, which is unlocked by completing Classic with Marth. While Lilina was not included as a selectable fighter, she appears as a sticker that can be obtained in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but removing Roy as a selectable fighter in that installment, so Roy and Lilina are stickers that increase the attack stats of the fighters who wear them equipped in Subspace Emisary: Roy increases the slash attacks to +24 and can be used by everyone, while Lilina increases the attacks made with the legs by +5, can only be used by Marth and Ike. As the stickers, Roy and Lilina are depicted with their original artworks from The Binding Blade.

Roy returns as a DLC fighter in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii-U, although without any reference to Lilina in this installment. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Lilina appears as one of the spirits that must be rescued from Galeem's control in World of Light, specifically in The Light Realm.

Under Galeem's influence, Lilina's spirit possesses one of Palutena puppets, especially a red Palutena variant in reference to Lilina's sage appearance in Fire Emblem Cipher. By fighting against her, Lilina's spirit grants Palutena puppet increased power of fire attacks, making her Explosive Flame more powerful. In the middle of the fight, a Roy minion appears, also as another puppet to assist Palutena fighting the player's fighter, in reference to Roy being Lilina's best friend and potential husband.

If the player manages to get Lilina's spirit, he/she can decide to equip any of their fighters, although the real Roy is rescued near the end of World of Light in the Final Battle area where Galeem and Dharkon fight each other. If Lilina's spirit is equipped on Roy, she grants him two support spirit slots and heavily increased damage to fire-based attacks, not to mention that most of Roy's attacks imbue his Binding Blade with fire.

Fanon
RoyLili is one of the most popular ships with the Fire Emblem franchise. Lilina is the most popular of the favourite candidates to be Roy's final love interest.

In Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, compared to other Roy's love interests (like Cecilia, Sue, Sophia, Larum or Shanna), Lilina gains more support points per turn, and therefore quickly reaches support level A with Roy.

There is even official artwork of them together, from Fire Emblem creator, Intelligent Systems, which suggests that the developers may like Lilina as Roy's love interest, or that they at least share a close bond (platonic or not) regardless of the input of the player.

Roy and Lilina are also celebrated as pair of cousins, since there's a considerable amount of fics that portray them as so, exploring a platonic familial bond between them, since in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, Roy may be Lilina's cousin if Eliwood is married to Fiora and Hector is married to Florina or Farina (With A support in each), since Fiora, Florina and Farina are sisters.

The rival pairings are usually Roy's other love interests on Roy's side, then Rutgerlili (Lilina x Rutger) and Gonzalili (Lilina x Gonzalez) on Lilina's side.

Trivia

 * Since many of the other GBA Fire Emblem titles feature at least one second lord or co-protagonist, many players think that Lilina should be the second lord in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and command together with Roy as the two Etrurian Generals, just like Cecilia, Perceval and Douglas, since in its prequel her parents Eliwood and Hector were the ones who commanded an earlier army in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.
 * In spin-offs, Roy and Lilina are depicted as two of the Eight New Legends of Elibe, as they both often use the weapons of the original Eight Legends: Roy uses Hartmut's Binding Blade and Lilina wields Athos's Forblaze. Both weapons attack their enemies with fire and deal heavily damage against manaketes and dragons, which is why some fans call them The Elibean couple that condemns their enemies and dragons to hell.
 * Of all the staff users in Binding Blade, Lilina is the one who can heal the most HP to the units of Roy's army if she's promoted to Sage. This is due to Lilina's high maximum magic power when leveling her to her maximum level.
 * If Roy dies in his original game in a Game Over, Lilina mourns for him, if she is alive on the battlefield. If not, Guinivere (Marcus in the first two chapters) does this role.
