Lucisev is the femslash ship between Lucina and Severa from the Fire Emblem fandom.
Canon[]
Awakening[]
Lucina and Severa are both from a future timeline where their parents failed to stop Grima and the world was lost. They travel back in time alongside their friends to try and prevent that disaster from happening. However they are all separated upon arrival. The pair do not have any supports with Awakening's main campaign and most of their interactions come from additional DLC stories.
In the Hot Spring Scramble campaign, Severa shares her worries about being inferior to her mother and not being able match her. Lucina comforts her, adding that she too shares similar feelings of not being able to live up to her father's legacy. While Severa still believes Lucina to be just as good as Chrom, she promises that the two will hang out more and vent about their parents.
The Future Past[]
In the alternate timeline shown in the Future Past campaign, Severa fights by Lucina's side in the final battle against Grima. There, she offers to sacrifice herself so that Lucina may live and be able to perform the Awakening. While Lucina protests, Severa claims she wants to protect her just like her mother once protected Chrom. Ultimately, they are saved by Chrom and Robin's time travelling party and they are able to finally defeat Grima. After the war is over, Severa becomes one of Lucina's pegasus knights and continues to work alongside her. While Severa doubts that Lucina truly needs a guard, Lucina reassures her that Severa is a "source of [her] strength."
Fates[]
After the events of Awakening, Severa appears, alongside Inigo and Owain, in the world of Fates and becomes one of Camilla's retainers under the alias "Selena". While Lucina is technically not in the story proper, a alternate version of her (from the Super Smash Bros. timeline) can be summoned with the games amiibo function. If Severa is present when fighting against Lucina they will both be surprised by each others presence but Severa will realise that Lucina is "not the Lucina [she] knew" and continue to fight without holding back.
Quotes[]
- Lucina – “Severa, your strength is a product of your own hard work and dedication. Cordelia is an amazing woman, but you have a light in you wholly distinct from hers. I've seen it with my own eyes time and again in the battles we've fought, past and future. I'm sure the others have as well. And I hope they can see where the credit for that lies.”
- Severa – “Lucina... Thank you. It feels good to hear that, especially from you. I feel...vindicated. Would you maybe want to do this again sometime? Talk, I mean. Just us two? We can unload all our pent-up complaints about our perfect parents!”
- — Hot-Spring Scramble DLC
- Severa – “Lucina, I'll stop their attacks...even if it kills me. Now RUN! While you've still got the chance!”
- Lucina – “No! Severa, I can't...”
- Severa – “You have to, you idiot! If you die, we all die! The world will come to an end!”
- Lucina – “I know, but...”
- Severa – “Mother said her greatest pride as a pegasus knight was defending the exalted family. I may not be a pegasus knight, but I can still share in their duty. I can still protect you!”
- — The Future Past: Part 3
- Severa – “You sure you should be sending one of your guards away?”
- Lucina – “I still have you, Severa. And let's not forget I have myself. I've smashed apart my share of Risen.”
- Severa – “Ha! If they think the exalt's an easy target, they're in for a nasty surprise. You don't even need pegasus knights, do you? Not really.”
- Lucina – “Of course I need you. You're the source of my strength.”
- Severa – “Mm-hmm.”
- Lucina – “I mean it.”

Fanon[]
Lucisev is a popular femslash ship within the Fire Emblem fandom. It gained much of its recognition after the Future Past DLC was released as it showed Severa was willing to die protecting Lucina and that she continued to serve her after the war. In the Awakening hack "Gay Awakening" it's possible to marry them.
On AO3, it is the most written femslash ship within the Fire Emblem Awakening fandom.
There also exists a non-canon family version of this ship. Many people would have like Cordelia (Severa's mother) to marry Chrom (Lucina's father), making them sisters. But it's impossible in the game. However in the hack "Gay Awakening", Cordelia can marry Chrom and Severa and Lucina can be sisters. In this hack, if they are sisters, Severa will have blue hair (like Chrom) and they will have different support conversations. However, it's the generic conversation between Lucina and her sibling.
Based on the conversations in The Future Past, Frederick and Vaike are popular fathers for Severa in a Severa/Lucina pairing, due to Severa being Lucina's guardian and lancer (the way Frederick was guardian to Lucina's father Chrom, and Vaike was Chrom's friend and rival).

Trivia[]
- When Masahiro Sakurai asked Awakening's character designer Yusuke Kozaki who helped Lucina with the process of tucking her hair up to make it appear shorter Kozaki replied "probably a close friend, like Severa, did it for her...! (^v^)"[1]
- One of Lucina's alternate colour pallets in Super Smash Brothers is based on Severa.
