+ | A few years after the events of ''Path of Radiance'', Marcia was allowed to readmit to the [[Holy Guard]] by her former commander [[Tanith]], but she reluctantly declined, instead becoming a member of the [[Crimean Royal Knights]] with Makalov. She makes her reappearance in [[On Drifting Clouds|Chapter 2-P]], where she offers 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 [[Wyvern Rider|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 Units|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 Knights|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. |

It is revealed in [[support]]s with Tanith that she is extremely proficient in executing her duties as a Pegasus Knight, with Tanith revealing that she holds 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. |

| − | 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, with a little bit of effort, Marcia can still prove to be a decent unit. Although she is a bit fragile, she has excellent movement, and her support with [[Kieran]] is very complementary, as they both have high movement, as well as complementary starting weapons to help mow the opponent. Once she starts [[Level Up|leveling up]], Marcia can hold her own, and can effectively take on sword and magic users, as well as some lance users. Once she [[Class Change|promotes]], Marcia gets access to [[Sword]]s, which allows her to beat the axe users that would have otherwise given her a hard time. However, Marcia's [[HP]] and [[defense]] will still be a little low, and she will be unable to use either the [[Steel Sword]] or the [[Silver Lance]] until a few chapters after her promotion. Competition from [[Jill]] and [[Tanith]] does not help either, though Marcia still has Swords and resistance over Jill and higher HP and [[strength]] over Tanith. Despite having some fatal flaws, Marcia is still a very decent unit that should not be overlooked. |
||
| + | Marcia is the only playable [[Pegasus Knight]] in ''Path of Radiance'' and the first flying unit to join your army. When the player recruits her, she is fairly underleveled, and may be sidelined as a result. However, Marcia has the greatest availability among all playable airborne units in the game, and while she takes a bit of effort to bring up to par with the rest of Ike's party by the time she is recruited, her excellent movement allows her to catch up fairly quickly, with her growths allowing her to develop her strength and speed relatively quickly. Marcia's stats are a bit mediocre elsewhere, especially considering her rather low HP compared to your other physical units, but they tend to be reliable enough to leave Marcia fairly consistent. |
||
| + | |||
| + | Once Marcia promotes into a [[Falcon Knight]], she gains more durability and the ability to use [[Sword]]s, which allows her to gain the advantage over the enemy Axe users that would have troubled her before promotion. However, Marcia will be stuck with E-rank Swords until a couple of chapters are spent to bring her weapon rank up, meaning she will not likely do a lot of damage to enemy Axe users. |
||
| + | |||
| + | Class-wise, Marcia's competition comes from [[Tanith]] and [[Jill]] as other possible [[Beorc]]-fliers before lategame. Tanith joins as a high-level pre-promote Falcon Knight with an A-Rank in swords, something Marcia will likely never achieve, and joins early enough to be able to grind her lance rank up to A as well. Tanith also has the ability to call [[Reinforce|reinforcements]] via command, which can be useful in situations where you can't afford to risk your own units. Marcia's advantages over Tanith are her better durability and strength, as well as availability in a number of chapters when airborne units are of particular value. Compared to Jill, Marcia has more time to level up and gain weapon experience, greater Speed, Luck, and Resistance, but lower HP, Strength, and Defense, as well as no access to axes, which are considered the most effective weapon-type in the game thanks to forgeable E-rank [[Steel Axe|Steel Axes]]. Since deployment slots aren't too limited and multiple chapters try to restrict your movement with heavy terrain, this competition is more of an artificial one and you shouldn't be afraid to make full use of all your flying mounts at once when you can make good use of them. |

| − | Marcia starts off with decent stats and particularly good growths in HP, [[Skill (stat)|Skill]], and [[Luck]] in this game. She has plenty of availability in part 2, but little in part 3, meaning effort should be invested into her as soon as she is recruited. Her access to Swords helps her to fight axe users, allowing her to turn the tables against them; however, her vulnerability to bows holds her back a lot, as it forces her to be used with much more care. Her average strength is also a bit of a pain, as Marcia would appreciate having additional strength to be able to hit the opponent with. However, once she promotes, Marcia acquires the biggest skill she ever wanted: [[Stun]]. With Stun, Marcia can finish off several more opponents, as well as stun the armored units that can survive such a powerful attack. Although Marcia's skill is nothing special, a [[Secret Book]] can push it a little higher, making her more consistent on the battlefield. The skill [[Adept]] can also be a great help, as it will give her an additional turn to hit the opponent, whether it be the finishing blow, wearing him down more, or another turn to potentially activate Stun. |

==Etymology== |
==Etymology== |
||
| − | The name 'Marcia' is a feminization of the Roman name |
+ | The name 'Marcia' is a feminization of the Roman name Marcus, which itself derives from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_(mythology) Mars], the Roman god of war. |
| + | |||
| + | Marcia's Japanese name (マーシャ) Romanizes to {{w|Masha}}, a one-to-one match for a Russian nickname in both spelling and pronunciation. Given that [[Makalov|her brother]] has a Russian name, Masha may have been the intended name for this character, especially considering that going by a nickname matches her forward and friendly personality. |

| + | *In the Italian versions of the Tellius games, Marcia’s name was changed to Darcia because “marcia” is a female adjective in Italian meaning “rotten”. |

—Marcia, recruiting her brother, Makalov, in Path of Radiance.
—Marcia, recruiting her brother, Makalov, in Path of Radiance.
Marcia 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.
Profile
Path of Radiance
A former pegasus knight of Begnion's Holy Guard, Marcia's officially a deserter, having suddenly left the Holy Guard, she claims, due to her bumbling older brother who worked up a large debt.
Marcia is first encountered confronting a group of pirates in her search for her older brother, Makalov, in Port Talma. 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, joining the Greil Mercenaries out of gratitude for Ike saving her. When she reunites with Makalov later on in Chapter 14, she is shown to disguise her concern and worry for him under the façade of anger and hatred.
Marcia will remain with Ike's forces until Ashnard is defeated, returning to the service of the Begnion Pegasus Knights thereafter.
Radiant Dawn
A few years after the events of Path of Radiance, Marcia was allowed to readmit to the Holy Guard by her former commander Tanith, but she reluctantly declined, instead becoming a member of the Crimean Royal Knights with Makalov. She makes her reappearance in Chapter 2-P, where she offers 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 holds 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.

Marcia is the only playable Pegasus Knight in Path of Radiance and the first flying unit to join your army. When the player recruits her, she is fairly underleveled, and may be sidelined as a result. However, Marcia has the greatest availability among all playable airborne units in the game, and while she takes a bit of effort to bring up to par with the rest of Ike's party by the time she is recruited, her excellent movement allows her to catch up fairly quickly, with her growths allowing her to develop her strength and speed relatively quickly. Marcia's stats are a bit mediocre elsewhere, especially considering her rather low HP compared to your other physical units, but they tend to be reliable enough to leave Marcia fairly consistent.
Once Marcia promotes into a Falcon Knight, she gains more durability and the ability to use Swords, which allows her to gain the advantage over the enemy Axe users that would have troubled her before promotion. However, Marcia will be stuck with E-rank Swords until a couple of chapters are spent to bring her weapon rank up, meaning she will not likely do a lot of damage to enemy Axe users.
Class-wise, Marcia's competition comes from Tanith and Jill as other possible Beorc-fliers before lategame. Tanith joins as a high-level pre-promote Falcon Knight with an A-Rank in swords, something Marcia will likely never achieve, and joins early enough to be able to grind her lance rank up to A as well. Tanith also has the ability to call reinforcements via command, which can be useful in situations where you can't afford to risk your own units. Marcia's advantages over Tanith are her better durability and strength, as well as availability in a number of chapters when airborne units are of particular value. Compared to Jill, Marcia has more time to level up and gain weapon experience, greater Speed, Luck, and Resistance, but lower HP, Strength, and Defense, as well as no access to axes, which are considered the most effective weapon-type in the game thanks to forgeable E-rank Steel Axes. Since deployment slots aren't too limited and multiple chapters try to restrict your movement with heavy terrain, this competition is more of an artificial one and you shouldn't be afraid to make full use of all your flying mounts at once when you can make good use of them.

Marcia starts off with decent stats and particularly good growths in HP, Speed, and Luck. She has plenty of availability in part 2, but little in part 3, meaning effort should be invested into her as soon as she is recruited. Her access to Swords helps her to fight axe users, allowing her to turn the tables against them; however, her vulnerability to bows holds her back a lot, as it forces her to be used with much more care. Her average strength is also a bit of a pain, as Marcia would appreciate having additional strength to be able to hit the opponent with. However, once she promotes, Marcia acquires the biggest skill she ever wanted: Stun. With Stun, Marcia can finish off several more opponents, as well as stun the armored units that can survive such a powerful attack. Although Marcia's skill is nothing special, a Secret Book can push it a little higher, making her more consistent on the battlefield. The Adept skill can also be a great help, as it will give her an additional turn to hit the opponent, whether it be the finishing blow, wearing them down more, or another turn to potentially activate Stun. The Nullify skill is also of use, as it allows Marcia to avoid additional damage from being hit by enemy bow users.
In contrast to her fellow potential Seraph Knights, Sigrun and Tanith, Marcia has lower Magic, skill, luck, and resistance than Sigrun, but higher HP, as well as much higher Speed and Defense. Marcia has lower strength and skill than Tanith, but higher HP and speed and slightly higher Defense and Resistance.

|---|---|---|---|
|
Marcia's a hardworking pegasus knight who glides through the skies atop her trusty steed. She once was a member of Begnion's Holy Guard where she was seen as a rising star. | ||
|
Sadly, her ascent was cut short by her brother, Makalov, who had racked up a considerable debt that brought the collectors calling at the order's barracks. The shame was such that she felt she couldn't stay there any longer. | ||
|
After leaving the order, Marcia went in search of her brother, who had gone missing. It was during this journey that she found herself tangling with pirates, and was subsequently aided by Ike and friends, who she decided to join. | ||
|
Marcia's a cheerful person who can perhaps be a little naïve, but she's still wise enough to see through her brother's lies! Maybe one day the two could be reunited in Askr so she can give him a stern talking-to! | ||
| Closely Associated Characters | |||
| Ike | A kindhearted but stoic young man who has taken command of his father's mercenary band. He helped Marcia when she was threatened by pirates. | ||

Etymology
The name 'Marcia' is a feminization of the Roman name Marcus, which itself derives from Mars, the Roman god of war.
Marcia's Japanese name (マーシャ) Romanizes to Masha, a one-to-one match for a Russian nickname in both spelling and pronunciation. Given that her brother has a Russian name, Masha may have been the intended name for this character, especially considering that going by a nickname matches her forward and friendly personality.
Trivia
- In the Italian versions of the Tellius games, Marcia’s name was changed to Darcia because “marcia” is a female adjective in Italian meaning “rotten”.
