The Light Priestess (Japanese: 巫女シャーマン Shaman), is a magical class which was introduced in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, where it is a base class capable of promoting to the Sage class, aside from Deirdre. It later reappeared in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn where it is, instead, a third-tier advanced Lord-like class exclusive to Micaiah, one of the game's two protagonists, acting as her final class and the ultimate form of her initial Light Mage class.

In their different incarnations, Light Priestesses are a female-exclusive class wielding light magic and staves. While very frail, they possess high magic and resistance, giving them good healing proficiency as well as the ability to defend themselves. In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Micaiah compensates partially her fragility by being immune to being attacked by numerous endgame enemies and bosses.
