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

Marcia (マーシャ Māsha) is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. She is a knight of Begnion, and the younger sister of Makalov.

Biography

Path of Radiance

Marcia is first encountered confronting a group of pirates in her search for her older brother, Makalov in Chapter 3. During this time, the pirates refuse to cooperate with her benign request to spare her brother, to which she attempts to fight them off. While Marcia cannot be recruited in this chapter, she will return in Chapter 9 after Ike speaks to her. When she reunites with Makalov later on in Chapter 14, she is shown to disguise her concern and worry for him under the facade of anger and hatred.

Marcia will remain with Ike's forces until the game ends, before returning to the service of the Begnion Pegasus Knights.

Radiant Dawn

A few years after the events of Path of Radiance, Marcia is discharged from Begnion's Holy Guard, and becomes a member of the Crimean Royal Knights with Makalov. She makes her reappearance in Chapter 2-P, where she is shown to have offer words of solace to Elincia, who is under tremendous pressure from the demands of the aristocracy. Marcia then notices a commotion occurring in the skies overhead, whereupon she proceeds to investigate with Elincia.

It is then revealed that Zeffren and his Dracoknights have trespassed Crimean skies in pursuit of Leanne, whom they intend to capture and sell to "some lord or other". When Marcia and Elincia arrive at the scene, they get into a confrontation with the Dracoknights, urging them to leave. A battle ensues soon after, where Marcia, Elincia and Nealuchi take up arms against the Dracoknights to protect Crimea's sovereignty and defend the hapless Leanne. Haar later flies into the scene as an Other unit, prompting Marcia to attempt to convince him into joining their efforts. When the Dracoknights later retreat in disgrace, Marcia sends them off by exclaiming, "Yeah, you run, dragonbackers! And don't ever come back to Crimea!".

Marcia then returns to her original post as a Crimean Royal Knight, where she participates in a siege laid upon Castle Felirae. When it is revealed that the Royal Knights have fallen into a trap laid by Ludveck, Marcia is hurriedly sent to Fort Alpea to relay the news that the Royal Knights are fast approaching the fort "at top speed". After the civil rebellion is successfully quelled, Marcia, alongside the other Royal Knights, is sent to rout the dregs of the rebel army.

Marcia is spared when Ashera later casts her judgment upon Tellius. She may be brought into the Tower of Guidance to reverse this judgment.

Personality

Marcia sports a cheerful demeanor, but is known to enter bouts of anger towards her brother and enemies alike. It is revealed in supports with Tanith that she is extremely proficient in executing her duties as a Pegasus Knight, with Tanith revealing that she hold very high expectations of Marcia, even to the extent of having faith in Marcia being able to lead the Holy Guard.

One of Marcia's distinctive traits can be observed in the manner in which she speaks. On various occasions, she is known to use words such as "clambake" and "sponge-brain" as insults. Furthermore, in place of profanities, Marcia will use words such as "crackers", hinting at the possibility of her being rather childish.

Overall

Marcia is the only playable Pegasus Knight in this game. When the player recruits her, she is fairly underleveled, and may be sidelined as a result. However, Marcia has the potential to become a powerful unit when promoted, as long as the player is willing to expend the effort into training her.

Overall

Marcia starts off with decent base stats and particularly good growths in HP, Skill, and Luck in this game. Her poor availability may hinder her usefulness as a unit, where players tend to bench her as a result. If the player is willing to take the pains to train her, she will be able to promote into one of three Seraph Knights, where she will potentially be able to cap HP, Speed, and Defense.
