“The name's Malice, Malice the mercenary. Remember that!”
—Malice's battle quote in Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem.

Malice is a female sellsword who first appeared in Part 3 of Fire Emblem: Archanea Saga: Thieves' Gang of Justice, along with her father, a Viking Fighter named Dice. She later appears in Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem.

Malice holds the distinction of being the first female Mercenary class unit in the series with her debut in Archanea Saga. However, her starting class in New Mystery of the Emblem was changed to Myrmidon, as was the case for other previously playable Mercenaries including Navarre and Radd.

Profile[]

Malice, like her father Dice, is a mercenary by trade. She lives a hardscrabble life, as her family's finances are continuously drained by Dice's love of gambling and terrible luck. She works hard to earn commissions in order to stay financially afloat.

Prior to the War of Shadows, Malice and her father were involved in a mission to steal treasure from the Archanean royal palace after its fall to Dolhr. Some years later, they forced their way into the ranks of Marth's army during the War of Heroes. Despite their intrusion and desire for high pay, their demand is for only a few hundred gold and easy for the army to oblige.

Following the conclusion of the war, Malice is rewarded with enough gold that she is able to open her own weapon shop.

Personality[]

Despite Dice's gambling habits leaving them both in a near constant state of poverty, Malice still loves him. In her mind, it's always possible to earn more gold, but she only has one father. She states a desire to sell weapons simply to have the means to buy bread. Because of the state of her finances, she is not well-acquainted with personal wealth and as a result, she seemingly undervalues her own services as a mercenary.

Malice is very strong offensively, though her high base defense is outweighed by her low growth. Her growth rate in resistance is twice of the average, even if she still cannot be thrown into a bunch of magic users and be expected to survive.

  • Malice: Yeah.
  • Kris: It looked way too elegant for something martialー ...Eh!?
  • Malice: Whadya say?
  • Kris: W-why did you draw your weapon?
  • Malice: Well, it was just your first offense. I'll forgive you. ...You know about my Pops, right?
  • Kris: Yeah. I heard he loves gambling.
  • Malice: Damn old geezer. No matter how much gold we have at home, he uses it up in the blink of an eye. That's why I learned this fencing, for show.

Malice and Male Kris base conversation 2[]

  • Malice: That's the speed... And now, jump!
  • Kris: Got it!
  • Malice: Stop moving the moment you fall!
  • Kris: Eeh!? How am I suppoー!
  • Malice: ...Did you fall?
  • Kris: Yes, as you can plainly see... You aside, Miss Malice, I'd say it's almost impossible for anyone to pull off that stunt.
  • Malice: Well, I'd be in a lotta trouble if people could mimic me that easily. But you seem different from the usual buff guys. You were close enough.
  • Kris: I-is that so? It's all thanks to my grandfather.
  • Malice: Oh yes, one more thing.
  • Kris: Hm?
  • Malice: I appreciate the fact you didn't ask me why I chose the way of the sword, despite being a woman.
  • Kris: Yeah. For a knight, there's no difference between man and woman, after all.
  • Malice: ...Oh?
  • Kris: But well, when you're quiet, you do look rather elegantー Wha...!
  • Malice: When I'm quiet, I what? Do you want to die?
  • Kris: N-no. I'd prefer not to, thanks. But more importantly, I wonder if... Could you lower this dangerous knife that's lodged rather close to my neck?

  • Kris: But weren't you the one who started the subject this time, Miss Malice...?

  • Kris: Then why are you pointing your sword towards me!?
  • Malice: I don't know either. But when you praised me, I felt excited.
  • Kris: So you mean to say you felt embarrassed...!?
  • Malice: What did you say? Do you want to die?
  • Kris: No, I choose to live! I choose to live, because I want to keep admiring your fencing.
