“STUFF IT, SPONGE-BRAIN!!! NO MORE LAME EXCUSES!!! FOLLOW ME!!! NOW!!!!!”
—Marcia, recruiting her brother, Makalov.

Marcia (マーシャ, Māsha) is a pink haired Begnion knight, who is first met confronting a group of pirates in her search for her older brother, Makalov in Chapter 3 of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance: the pirates refuse to cooperate and Marcia tries to fight them off. She cannot be recruited in this chapter, but if Ike talks to her, she will leave and return in Chapter 9, where Ike has to talk to her again and she will join.

In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, she is discharged from Begnion's Holy Guard, and becomes a member of the Crimean Royal Knights, along with her brother. Since joining the Crimean army, she has become a friend of Queen Elincia, but continues to be repulsed by Makalov's fondness for gambling and drinking.

One of Marcia's distinctive traits is the way she speaks. Often times, she will use words like "clambake" and "sponge-brain" as insults. In place of profanities, she will use words like "crackers", as in, "Oh, crackers!" or "Oh Chestnuts".

Personality

Marcia seems to be cheerful, yet she does have an angry side (mainly shown at her brother or enemies); despite this, she does love him. It is revealed in supports with Tanith that she was very good at and very loyal to her job. Commander Tanith had very high expectations of Marcia-even to telling the Pegasus Knight she could lead the Holy Guard.

In Path of Radiance, she appears to have some romantic interest in Ike, constantly addressing him as 'handsome'. However, there are no supports that result them in building any sort of relationship and in Radiant Dawn, she no longer shows any interest in Ike whatsoever. In Radiant Dawn, she helps Elincia and Nealuchi defend Leanne in the prologue of Part 2, and can recruit Haar for help.

Since she is meant to be the youngest of the Path of Radiance Pegasus Trio, Marcia reveals to be childish by saying phrases like Oh crackers!

Noooo!” —Death Quote in Part 2's prologue Overall In Path of Radiance, Marcia is the only playable Pegasus Knight. When you recruit her, she is a bit underleveled, and some consider not using her because of this and because this is the same level that Rolf joins. However, she can become a powerful unit when promoted. Many people prefer Tanith over Marcia because of her Reinforce skill and high level, but Marcia at the same level will have higher stats than Tanith. In Radiant Dawn, Marcia has decent bases and good growths, so she has the potential to be the best Falcon Knight in the game. However, poor availability hinders her usefulness (this is true for most of the playable Crimean Royal Knights), and players tend to ignore Marcia because of that, and use Tanith instead. However, if she gains enough experience for the few chapters that she is usable in, she can be even better than Tanith. Epilogue Petulant Pegasus Knight (苦労性の天馬騎士, Worrisome Pegasus Knight in the Japanese version) Marcia showed her dedication as one of the Royal Knights, ever vigilant as she patrolled Crimea's skies. Etymology The name 'Marcia' is a feminization of the Roman name 'Marcus,' which itself derives from Mars, the Roman god of war.
