Can you guess the character?

_________ is an original female character in Fire Emblem who obviously serves as an idealized version of the author mainly for the purpose of Wish Fulfillment.

She's exotically beautiful, often having an unusual hair or eye color, and has a similarly cool and exotic name. She's exceptionally talented in an implausibly wide variety of areas, and may possess a skill that are rare or nonexistent in the canon setting.

She also lacks any realistic, or at least story-relevant, character flaws — either that or her "flaws" are obviously meant to be endearing. She has an unusual and dramatic Back Story. The canon protagonists are all overwhelmed with admiration for her beauty, wit, courage and other virtues, and are quick to adopt her as one of their True Companions, even characters who are usually antisocial and untrusting; if any character doesn't love her, that character gets an extremely unsympathetic portrayal.

She has some sort of especially close relationship to the author's favorite canon character — their love interest, illegitimate child, never-before-mentioned sister, etc. Other than that, the canon characters are quickly reduced to awestruck cheerleaders, watching from the sidelines as _______ outstrips them in their areas of expertise and solves problems that have stymied them for the entire series.

Have you guessed yet?

Shes From Radiant Dawn.

It's not Micaiah. Each of the following don't fit (and there's a lot)

who obviously serves as an idealized version of the author mainly for the purpose of Wish Fulfillment.

The author here being IS. It's hard to imagine her being any kind of author self-insert for a company.

She's exotically beautiful

She's not. Also I don't think her 'beauty' is really commented on in-game. The closest anything comes is 'Silver Haired Maiden' which is only a reference to her appearance.

She's exceptionally talented in an implausibly wide variety of areas

Nope. Not even close.

She also lacks any realistic, or at least story-relevant, character flaws

She blindly obeyed a man who was in the midst of ruining her country and refused to back down when it meant the death of the person closest to her. She has terrible Speed, HP and DEF.

The canon protagonists are all overwhelmed with admiration for her beauty, wit, courage and other virtues

Not really. Ike doesn't care at all for her.

She has some sort of especially close relationship to the author's favorite canon character

That's Meg. She doesn't.

Other than that, the canon characters are quickly reduced to awestruck cheerleaders, watching from the sidelines as _______ outstrips them in their areas of expertise and solves problems that have stymied them for the entire series.

The other canon characters quickly reducer HER to an awestruck cheerleader, watching from the sidelines as they outstrip her in most ways that aren't Thanibombing.

Oh, and I'm ignoring the fact this is an obvious copypaste from TVTropes Mary Sue article.
