Meg is introduced in a base conversation in [[A Distant Voice|Part 1, Chapter 4]], where she reveals to [[Micaiah]] and [[Sothe]] that she travelled all the way from Crimea to meet someone, whose identity she does not disclose. Micaiah offers to let her join the Dawn Brigade to help her find him, which Meg agrees to. Later, in a base comversation, that person is revealed to be [[Zihark]]. Meg also reveals that the reason she sought him out was because her father [[Brom]] promised that she could marry him, much to Zihark's bewilderment. Meg plays no major role in the story after that, continuing to fight for the Dawn Brigade.

When on opposing sides, Brom and Meg cannot attack each other. In part 4, Meg can be allocated to any of the three armies.

Meg is a sword-wielding armor knight that joins in chapter 1-4. She has poor mobility due to being a knight, and faces heavy terrain penalties (especially ledges), severely limiting her strategic options. She has poor to average bases all around. Her defense base is average, though her health base is low so she cannot tank at base. She wields the weakest weapon type and has an average strength and mediocre speed base, so she struggles to deal damage and cannot double. To feasibly contribute in part 1, she needs significant investment and forges to keep up or else she will get one-rounded by most enemy units, especially on hard mode.

Meg's growths are very unusual for an Armor Knight: her strength and defense growths are mediocre, yet she has high growths in speed, luck, and resistance. Her base speed is low so it will take most of part 1 for her speed growth to kick in and let her double attack. Her high resistance growth is limited by her low resistance cap so she cannot tank magic; however, she can abuse BEXP to fix her weaker strength, skill, and defense. BEXPing Meg immediately can help her base speed and avoid being doubled, but she will rarely gain strength and defense, so she will additional need several combat levels. Her skill is also low, though she will not struggle as much with hitrates due to her high luck growth and her use of swords, the most accurate weapon type.

Her part 3 chapters are primarily defensive chapters and she is not physically bulky. They also have ledges and swamps, limiting her mobility further. In tier 2, Meg will cap speed and luck quickly so she can abuse BEXP to help her strength, skill, and defense. She can start using lances, though her E lance rank limits her to bronze and iron lances, and she cannot use javelins. If fully raised, Meg can contribute in part 4's rout chapters. She functions best on Ike's team due to lack of swamp or desert. She can also use axes in tier 3; though her axe rank will be low, she can use forged Hand Axes for stronger 1-2 range combat. She can use the Storm Sword or Tempest Blade if the player raised her sword rank throughout the game. Her poor mobility and stat caps in speed and resistance limit Meg from being an efficient endgame unit.

Meg has a heaven affinity which improves hit rates. Given Meg has poor skill, this can be a useful affinity for her in part 1. Units with affinities that boost her defense or avoid and appreciate extra accuracy are good support partners. Nolan is an axe user with an earth affinity but he prefers to partner with other units with earth affinities. Jill is another unit with useful thunder bonuses, though Jill has much higher mobility than Meg.

* If the player uses an indirect spear attack with a 2nd tier class Meg, she will go close to the enemy and then attack the opponent with an indirect spear attack motion, just like a melee attack. This phenomenon does not occur in the 3rd tier class.

* According to ''[[Tellius Recollection]]'', Meg was designed with an apparent age of 16.<ref name=RD_artbook>{{cite web |url=https://kantopia.wordpress.com/2017/01/09/fe-rd-meg-character-profile-p-69-translation/ |title=FE RD: Meg Character Profile (P. 69) Translation {{!}} kantopia |site=www.kantopia.wordpress.com |retrieved=2 March 2022}}</ref>
