Lucina was originally included as a Marth skin."A certain character" was cut during development. (Chrom? Who knows. It's not clarified.)Sakurai didn’t want to reduce the total number of characters.It wasn’t possible to make a brand new character on short notice.Lucina was repurposed into her own character slot to fill the void.
The Bankslammer said:The blurb about how Lucina came to be is basically "Originally Lucina was a Marth color variation because they're related characters. The have different names and voices but play the same, and would receive treatment similar to male/female WFT, Villager and Robin. However, while Lucina's fighting style is the same, she has different characteristics. Because there's only a small difference, she would be a convenient additional character. This made her a lucky newcomer pick."
Maybe there's something on the rest of the page that mentions a cut character, but... I don't see why it wouldn't go along with the section on why she was included. No mention of cut characters or needing to fill in a removed spot.
