You stand in the center of your bedroom, stunned. There shouldn’t be a sword there—a beautiful blade, gleaming and ornate, its blue hilt embossed with gold filigree. For a moment, you glance around, expecting your brain to wake you from a dream. The rest of your room—bed, posters, undusted desk—remains familiar. But nothing about the sword matches your world.
Almost drawn against your will, your hand reaches out and clasps the hilt. Instantly, a surge jolts through your arm—a sensation like sunlight pouring through every nerve. You try to drop the sword, but your fingers are fused to it, as if by destiny.
Your vision drowns beneath a tide of blue light. You feel your body shifting, melting; the world bends and heaves around you like a storm-tossed ship. You are dissolving, and something else is taking shape in your place.
First comes the shrinking—your body contracts, shins snap shorter, spine compresses. You stagger back, your perspective dropping as the world grows taller. You’re no longer your usual height; you’re lighter, more compact, each limb slim, athletic, and unfamiliar. The bed is suddenly higher, your shoulders—narrower.
“What—what’s happening to me?” you gasp, but the sound that escapes is wrong. Your voice is rising, the timbre softening, your Adam’s apple shrinking until your throat is smooth and your words ring with a high, bell-like clarity. You flinch at the sound. It isn’t your voice.
Clothing pinches, shifts, and then is replaced by a sudden, overwhelming pressure as your ordinary T-shirt and jeans are engulfed in a cool, electric sensation. When you look down, your hands tremble in blue fingerless gloves. Your body, unmistakably female, is clad in a dark blue warrior’s uniform with intricate gold trim. A soft blue cape cascades down your back, its underside a flash of red. Blue boots—above the knee—clasp your newly slender legs. Leather straps cross your chest and cinch your waist.
You gulp air, then touch your chest. The shape is unmistakable—breasts, as real and as sensitive as if they had always been yours. Your fingers trail down, shakily, to your groin. Just below the belt, a sudden wet pop echoes faintly in your ears—something inside you inverts, reconfigures. A cold shock floods you.
You press your hands over your face, struggling not to hyperventilate. “I—I’m a girl,” you whisper, almost afraid to say the words aloud.
“Yes,” comes the voice in your head—warm, gentle, but solid as steel. “You have always been a woman.”
Your heart races as the deeper details follow. Underneath your armor, your hips have flared, waist narrowed, thighs reshaped. Your muscles feel strong but lithe. You brush your hair—now long, silky, and a vivid, unnatural blue—over your shoulder and stare at strands shimmering like spun sapphire.
Panic wells up. You look wildly around, seeking something—anything—familiar. Only the sword in your hand looks right, but even it feels different, weighted for your new strength. The room itself—no, it’s shifting, lines softening, colors growing bold. The ceiling is higher, washed in the haze of delicate pastels, objects rimmed in crisp, animated edges. You blink rapidly. Everything is more vivid, drawn, **anime**.
“No—no, this can’t be!” You clutch your head. “What about my friends? My family? My job?” But even as you struggle to recall names, their faces slip, blurring, details snatched away by another tide.
The voice is there, insistent: “They were never real, Lucina. You know your father: Chrom. Your companions—the Shepherds. Their faces are clear, their names precise. Remember.”
You shake your head, fighting the pressure, trying desperately to focus. “No, I—I’m not Lucina, I’m—” But when you reach for your old name, there’s only emptiness. The name Lucina circles relentlessly. _Lucina_. You try to press against it, to lean back into old thoughts—video games, school, morning commutes—but they feel like nonsense, as distant as fever dreams.
A vision surfaces—Chrom, his reassuring blue eyes and steadfast voice.
“Lucina?” his voice asks with concern. “Are you well?”
You force your lips to speak, pushing out syllables that sound foreign. “F-father?”
He steps closer, his armor clinking. “Your training has left you exhausted. Come, rest a while.”
You stagger, the world buckling at the edges. New thoughts wriggle into your mind—memories of training dummies split, swords gleaming in sunlight, the smell of dew on Ylissean grass. You try to dislodge them, digging your mental heels in, but the old memories are sliding away. “No, I—my name isn’t—no, please—I’m not Lucina! I’m—”
The voice, firmer now, cuts through. “Lucina. _You are Lucina_. There never was another.”
You choke back tears, your thoughts spiraling. Your mind feels too fragile to withstand it. You’re losing yourself—aren’t you? But as you open your mouth to protest, only the formal, carefully measured cadence of Lucina emerges.
“I must not falter. Fate can be changed. For you, Father—for everyone—I will not fail.”
You—no, Lucina—feel calm settling over you, a resolve you cannot break. All thoughts of another life—the one with strange, dulled colors, odd machinery, and a male body—slip and tumble away. You recall battlefields, the sharp ring of metal, friends lost and fears survived. You remember admiring Marth, doubting your worthiness, clutching the Falchion—the last fragment of your father.
You untighten your fingers from the hilt and study the sword. The blade glints with purpose, as if waiting for your next move. You flex your hand—delicate, yet strong. Your voice carries certainty when you speak.
“I will fight for those I love. That much will never change.”
From behind, Chrom places a hand on your shoulder. “You have my trust, Lucina. Always.”
The words fill you with warmth and a deep longing—a desire to reclaim the time you lost. In a quiet moment, you sit, trying to puzzle out the shadow of a half-remembered dream: A different world, a different body, perhaps even a different soul.
It fades, slippery and senseless. _Why would I dream of being a man? That’s absurd._
You shudder, briefly disgusted by the thought, unsure why it haunted you at all.
No. You are Lucina—Enforcer of Hope, Daughter of Chrom.
You stand, sword gleaming, cape billowing gently—a warrior of Ylisse, determined to overturn fate. As everything settles into its proper place, one truth remains, echoing within you with unwavering clarity:
_You have always been, and will always be, Lucina._

Prompt: Write a POV second-person transformation story of a male human turning into Lucina (from the Fire Emblem video game series), complete with gender change (the reader turning from male to female), instant clothes change (his clothes instantly turning into Lucina's outfit), height change (shrinking from his height to Lucina's 5.5 foot height), age change (changing from his age to Lucina's early 20s age), voice change (losing an Adam's apple to make his voice higher and feminine until his voice becomes Lucina's voice), art style shift (his world becoming more anime-esque while he becomes an anime-like character), reality change (his real world becoming the world of Fire Emblem), and mind/mental change (with his (now her) personality and memories replaced with Lucina's personality and memories, despite her best effort on fighting them off and despite her best efforts on keeping her own memories or personality (she is scared of losing herself and her life/mind/memories), making her forget all about being a mundane person (which was not real), she genuinely remembers that she has always been a warrior as well as a woman and her name has always been Lucina (which is her true self)). The transformation is permanent (meaning it its forever) and is completely irreversible. Here is Lucina's appearance; she is a young adult light-skinned (human) woman with long vibrant blue hair and eyebrows, as well as a beautiful face. Lucina is also athletic with very light/slim yet strong muscles, allowing Lucina to be an excellent sword-welder. She also wears a blue noble warrior uniform consisting of black tights, a pair of blue boots that is just above the knee in length, a black long-sleeves top underneath the dark blue warrior uniform with thin gold rims, a brown leather belt that keeps her uniform in place, a brown leather sash that wraps around her right shoulder to her left hip, a pair of fingerless gloves, and a couple of white loose bracers on both wrists that contains a big X. Lucina also has a gold tiara-like headband/headpiece on her head and a blue cape over her shoulders that is red underneath and reaches down to her knees. She also has a Parallel Falchion sword. Here is Lucina's personality; she is a strong willed, pragmatic, and serious woman, who is determined to defy fate to alter the dark future she came from. She admires historical figures and her ancestors, showing extreme reverence to her father, and trying to emulate how she thought her ancestor Marth acted, to lend her the strength she needed. Due to the countless deaths and horrific events of the future, she dislikes any form of death, even "noble" ones. Her stoic personality and lacking sense of humor are results of her feeling responsible for the surviving children of Shepherds, so being their leader, she believes there's no place for herself to lighten up. She cares for comrades deeply and has a sense of justice. Lucina also is humble of her swordsmanship. Despite being noted to be a very skilled fighter by the likes of Chrom and Basilio, she feels that she pales in comparison to them and even doubts if she was worthy to use the name of Marth despite their many similarities. Her main motivations come from her love for her parents, especially Chrom. Lucina is willing to do whatever it takes to see that Chrom stays alive, even if it means going against her wish for no needless deaths. Nevertheless, she is obedient to her father and puts her trust in his judgements, showing a strong bond of trust with him. Bearing a keen resemblance to Marth, it even leads to her being mistaken as him by Tiki when she is introduced, with the latter remarking that her involuntary actions when helping others further likens her to Marth himself. Furthering that point, she even speaks in a very formal and polite manner more reminiscent of him, contrasting her father. Despite that, she seems to have inherited some of her father's traits as well, as she enthusiastically loves to train with her father and has stated that she inherited Chrom's recklessness when training, often destroying training dummies. Like her father, she has a strong belief that fate can be changed. Much to her disbelief, many of her interventions during the Ylisse-Plegia war resulted in only minor changes that ultimately still lead to similar results as in her time. By the time-skip, Lucina's actions became much more drastic and open such as pleading to Basilio to not to fight Walhart and later nearly making a choice against the will of her father. Ultimately, she relented on her plan when her father intervened and was nearly driven to despair when her father was seemingly killed. However, witnessing fate literally change before her eyes renewed her belief that destiny could be overcome and placed her full trust in Chrom and his allies to overturn the grim future. As a result of her childhood tragedies, Lucina desperately tries to reclaim as much lost time she had with her parents with their younger versions of the current timeline. She resolves herself to quietly depart from her present parents once peace has been restored to the world as to not take away from her present self. To her relief, both assure her that they would always welcome her with open arms. In some of her endings, especially her solo ending, she follows through and departs without a trace. She treasures her Falchion because of it being the last possession left behind by her father, as she gets angered at her sibling using it to cut apples. She also has a paranoid streak. Said behavior goes so far as to be paranoid of Female Robin if she is not her mother, because of her close relationship with Chrom, only to irrationally demand for Robin to fall in love with her father when the former claims to not consider him gallant, much to their mutual confusion. Despite her serious and stoic persona, Lucina has light and unintentionally goofy moments around the ones she is close with, especially her parents and sibling. One of her most bizarre traits is her odd taste for aesthetics, as it is shown most prominently in her supports with her mother, where she goes from purchasing a dress featuring pictures of Emmeryn to attempting to pick several other options while shopping with her (which goes from uncommon to literally being only strings). This is further proven by the fact that she wears bizarre Groucho Marx glasses in the official Awakening comics and drama CDs, and buys and owns numerous bear hats in both the drama CDs, and in her appearance in Fates. In the Hot-Spring Scramble, Lucina was hellbent on purchasing a wooden carving of Chrom (or Robin if she is her mother), believing that other people were likely to buy out the product even though Robin commented that they were not particularly noteworthy. In "Fire Emblem Engage", Emblem Lucina's taste for fashion is further displayed when she excitedly remarks to Anna in a Bond Conversation that she loves a selection of shirts with Anna's face on them, and that she would buy ten even though Anna was not happy with how the shirts had turned out. When she tries to emulate Owain's flair for theatrics, she nicknames Falchion "Pointy Demonspanker" in their Support Conversation, causing him to reel in confusion and amusement simultaneously. Lucina has a rather dry sense of humor, and in her Awakening profile is described as the least likely to get a joke out of everyone in the Shepherds. However, her sense of humor and what she personally finds funny can be disarming to others. In Engage, when Jade asks for feedback on one of her novels, Lucina says she cracked up at a scene that Jade had intended to be emotional, and in a subsequent conversation, Lucina again surprises Jade by remarking that she found the ending hysterical when it was not meant to be. The story is that the reader has found a sword (belonging to Lucina) in or around the reader's room (either in an apartment or suburban home), and as he held the scroll, the blinding light engulfed him, causing the whole transformation to occur. After the physical transformation, the reader checks her private parts and her chest by touching, shocked to find that they had been replaced by their feminine counterparts (with her chest now having breasts and her privates already inverted itself with a wet "pop" noise into her female parts (vagina, ovaries, and uterus)), making her realize in shock and confusion that she was now a girl, and she even tells herself that she's a girl in both shock and confusion (the voice in her head then confirms "yes" and says that she had always been a girl). Following the physical changes (with the voice telling new truths to the reader), the reader tries her best on fighting off the new memories and personality (such as calling for her friends/family and/or shaking her head in a vain attempt to loose those new memories/personality), but to no avail (since the voice inside her head is helping the reader remember her true self as Lucina, the reader tries to remember/say her old life and her old name but then the voice in her head interrupts by saying "Lucina" to help her remember her true self (which her real/true self is Lucina), and the reader then fully believes and trusts the voice in her head) as she begins to forget all about her truly mundane (and boyish) life and remember her new life as Lucina (as the voice in her head fully intended). Near the end of the story (and long after the transformation ended), Lucina would briefly thought of her previous life as a mundane person, but she soon forgets about it as she knows that she had never been a man and that she has always been Lucina (meaning that her mundane life as a mundane man was all just a dream, not reality, since she has always been a girl (not a boy) and she had always been a warrior woman; she knew that she was never a man, and a thought of being a man disgusts her (since she doesn't want to think about having a penis or testicles), she was confused on why she dreamt that, so she is glad that it was only a dream and not real), and Lucina is content to know that her life as Lucina is the only true/real life. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc).
