Mareeta

Mareeta is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. She is a princess of the fallen kingdom of Ribaut in Isaach, and the daughter of its Prince, Galzus. As a full-blooded descendant of the Crusader Od, Mareeta bears his markings on her back.

Profile

Before Thracia 776

As a child, Mareeta traveled with Galzus for a time but was abducted by slave traders and taken to Conote. Eyvel later chanced upon the slave market that Mareeta was brought to, where she found the girl chained up and in the process of being sold. Seized by a fit of rage, Eyvel killed all the guards and slave traders, thereafter rescuing and adopting Mareeta. Mareeta was then taken to the Thracian village of Fiana, where she was raised alongside Leif, Nanna, Osian, Halvan, and Tanya.

Naturally gifted as a sword-fighter, Mareeta took up arms and joined Eyvel's Freeblades of Fiana, aiding in the effort to quell the bandit uprising across the eastern coast of Thracia.

Thracia 776

Mareeta first appears in Chapter 1, where she and Nanna are captured by Raydrik of Munster when he raids Fiana in an attempt to find Leif.

Mareeta later appears in Chapter 5, where she, having gone berserk under the influence of the Shadow Sword, is pitted against Eyvel in an arena in Munster. She is eventually withdrawn from battle, and Eyvel is petrified and kidnapped by Veld.

While Leif's army passes through Dacia Forest in Chapter 12, it is revealed that Mareeta had been taken under Saias's wing sometime after the events of Munster. Having removed the curse placed on the Shadow Sword, he entrusts the now-purified blade into Mareeta's care, emphasizing that as a true swordfighter, she must love all blades that pass through her hands. He then departs from her side, leaving her to reunite with Leif and join his skirmish against the bandits attacking the villages in the vicinity.

After Leif's army successfully secures control over Munster in Chapter 24, they embark on a mission to rescue Eyvel in Chapter 24x. Here, Sara uses the Kia Staff to undo Eyvel's petrification, reuniting Mareeta with her adoptive mother.

Mareeta will then go on to support Leif in his final battle against Veld in the Final Chapter, thereafter liberating Northern Thracia from the Grannvale Empire. She sets out on a journey to hone her swordplay skills thereafter, motivated by her shame at having had her heart taken over by the Shadow Sword. She eventually becomes a swordmaster of great renown, yet she continues to view Eyvel as her superior.

Personality

Stout of heart, Mareeta possesses a strong will that sees her bravely standing up against Raydrik even when she is captured by him. Yet beneath this façade of strength is a person riddled with insecurities. This fact becomes more prominent after she is roused from the Shadow Sword's reverie, where she is wracked by guilt over having fought Eyvel against her will.

Mareeta is also known to have a mischievous streak, which surfaces most prominently through the close bond she shares with Nanna. At the end of Thracia 776, for instance, we see her playfully pushing Nanna to confess her feelings for Leif, and much to her delight, this results in Leif proposing to Nanna.

Despite having been taken away from Galzus as a little girl, Mareeta still loves her father and wants him to be a part of her life. She's the only one who can recruit him via talking to him; in said recruitment talk she tells him that she saw him in her dreams while taken over by the Demon Sword, and adds that she remembers him as "kind, strong and gentle".

Mareeta first appears in Chapter 5 as an enemy unit with the Shadow Sword. Luckily, if the player has been progressing through that map fast enough, there is a chance that she will not be able to reach any of your weaker units, as she will be Warped away when you open the door.

When she reappears in Chapter 12, she comes with an FCM of 5, Luna, Astra at a later stage, alongside Adept on promotion and high growths. She also comes with a personal weapon that hits twice in a row, provides a 20% critical bonus, and also bestows Nihil on her. With all of this in mind, a well-trained Mareeta is one of the deadliest attackers in Thracia 776.

But before that, Mareeta will need a lot of training since she starts out weak, her low Defense not helping her ability to survive. If the player isn't willing to train her up in Chapter 12 against the bandits, then Chapter 14 provides her a free chance to get EXP, either against the Armor Knights or in the Arena. If no one else is using it, she can be given the Elite Sword while training to boost her EXP gain and durability, although her low base Strength can make it problematic for her to kill enemies with it.

Without her special blade, Mareeta will not be killing anything at base level. Yet if she uses the blade all the time, she will burn through its uses rapidly due to how many times she has to attack to kill anything. For Crusader Scrolls, the most useful ones for her are the Hoðr and Dáinn scrolls, which boost her HP and Defense respectively. They also give her small Strength boosts and help her boost her low base Strength.

Remember to have Mareeta talk to Shannam in Chapter 15 to have her learn Astra, which allows her to attack about a maximum of 5 times. Besides Galzus, Mareeta is only other unit that can learn Astra in the game.

If the player doesn't intend to train up Mareeta, she can still be useful in the endgame not only for recruiting Galzus, but also for supporting him in the Endgame against some of the harder to kill bosses with improved hit/avoid/crit rates. Even if she is frail, she can even contribute combat-wise by taking out some of the frailer enemies, like Dark Mages.

The Blade's Pawn Mareeta
	Mareeta was separated from her parents when she was very young, but she was taken in by Eyvel, who would become her foster mother.
	At one point, Mareeta was controlled by the will of a cursed sword, which was given to her as part of a cruel, underhanded scheme targeting Eyvel.
	Fully under the sword's influence, she attacked her foster mother, who was then struck with a petrification spell while she was still reeling from the shock. Mareeta's birth father arrived soon after to rescue Mareeta and free her from the sword's curse.
