'''Micaiah''' (Japanese: {{hover|ミカヤ|Mikaya}} ''Micaiah'') is a [[Branded]] denizen of the Kingdom of [[Daein]] who played a pivotal role in the restoration of the country in the aftermath of its defeat in the [[Mad King's War]]. Blessed with the mysterious power of [[Sacrifice]] and renowned as the "Silver-Haired Maiden", she originated as a peasant fortune-teller and a friend and guardian to [[Sothe]], but after her nation's downfall she and Sothe joined the [[Dawn Brigade]] resistance group, fighting to protect the people of Daein from the abuses of the [[Begnion]] garrison under [[Jarod]].

Micaiah debuted in {{FE10}} as its initial protagonist and a pivotal character, co-starring with Ike in the game's later chapters. She also appears regularly in optional bonus content in {{FE13}}.

[[File:Ss fe10 micaiah and sothe.png|thumb|Micaiah and [[Sothe]]'s first meeting.]]

Micaiah was born as part of the [[Begnion]] imperial family, the grandaughter of the Apostle [[Misaha]] and the elder sister to the eventual Empress [[Sanaki]]. Of the two siblings, Micaiah was the only one to inherit the family's [[Branded]] [[heron]] blood, and thus the ability to hear the goddess's voice, the defining trait of the Empire's apostles. In the year 625, before Sanaki was born, Micaiah was believed to have been assassinated alongside Misaha by the senators of Begnion, an act blamed upon the herons of [[Serenes Forest|Serenes]]; following her assumed death, she was largely forgotten and Sanaki never even knew she had a sister until she came into conflict with the Senate herself.<ref>{{Cite|'''Lekain:''' Poor false apostle... No one ever told you about your older sister, did they? She was the true apostle.<br>'''Sanaki:''' I... had a sister?<br>'''Lekain:''' She died before you were born, assassinated along with Apostle Misaha by the heron clan. So the senate installed you, the second daughter, as the apostle instead.|[[Lekain]] and [[Sanaki]]|Radiant Dawn}}</ref> How she survived is uncertain, but she eventually came into the care of an elderly woman, who raised her until her death; as she died, she revealed to Micaiah the significance of the brand and the stigma lying before Micaiah as a result.<ref name="old woman">{{Cite|'''Micaiah:''' I know nothing of my parents. But just before she died, the old woman who raised me told me what the brand was and what it meant. This is proof that the blood of both beorc and laguz course through me. And so, I am anathema to both. She told me never to let anyone see it, and to be always on my guard.<br>'''Muarim:''' Wise advice...<br>'''Micaiah:''' I’ve avoided people most of my life to conceal my brand... and my powers. But there’s no way to hide how very slowly I age. I just keep moving through Daein. The same holds true now... I won’t be able to stay in this army long.|Micaiah and [[Muarim]]|Radiant Dawn}}</ref>

Following the demise of her caretaker, Micaiah became an itinerant, constantly moving throughout Daein and keeping a low profile to avoid notice being drawn by her slow aging, making her living as a simple fortune-teller. As the years passed, she became increasingly aware of the powers afforded to her by being a Branded, including her foresight ability, a simple mood-reading talent and [[Sacrifice]], the unique skill which allowed her to heal others by drawing their wounds into her own body.<ref name="designers">Designer's Notes: [http://serenesforest.net/general/designers-notes/radiant-dawn/the-dawn-brigade/ The Dawn Brigade]</ref> Less than thirteen years after the Serenes Massacre, she first encountered [[Sothe]], then a young, timid orphan, in a Nevassa back alley. Although it was difficult to coax him into being brave enough to approach her, they soon became close friends and, from then on, wandered the world together, never parting.<ref>{{Cite|I met him when I was hiding out in the back alleys of Nevassa, over ten years ago. He was so skinny, but his gaze was so piercing... I wondered how such a young boy could look like that. One day, I noticed he was standing close to me, just watching. He continued like that for a few days. One day, I held out my hand. He was suspicious of me, but came over anyway. He looked like a scared animal. Then his little hand slipped into mine. It was shaking. His fingers were so thin and frail. I couldn’t let go after that. After that, we traveled together all over the continent. No matter where we went, we were always together.|Micaiah|Radiant Dawn}}</ref>

Around the time of the [[Mad King's War]] of 645, Micaiah began to believe she couldn't stay with him much longer, lest her cursed Branded aging process cause him grief, so while the two were visiting [[Crimea]] she abandoned him and took a ship to Begnion. By the time she arrived there, the Mad King's War had commenced, and out of worry for his safety, she returned to Daein and then Crimea to find him; her efforts were in vain, as Sothe had entered the company of [[Ike]] and the [[Greil Mercenaries]] and was an active participant in the war. They reunited in Nevassa after the war, and although Sothe was angry about her actions, they remained in each other's company.<ref>{{Cite|'''Ike:''' The first time I met him, he’d hidden on a ship we were taking. He mentioned he was looking for someone who was like family to him. It was you he was searching for, wasn’t it?<br>'''Micaiah:''' I...I tried to leave him behind. When we went to Crimea, I split off from him and took a ship to Begnion. But when I reached Begnion, war had broken out between Crimea and Daein. I knew I had to return to Daein to look for him. I couldn’t find him, so I went to Crimea. But I still couldn’t find him… We found each other again after the war, in Daein. In the back alleys of Nevassa, where we first met.<br>'''Ike:''' You took routes opposite to each other.<br>'''Micaiah:''' When I told him why I’d disappeared, he got so angry.. I’d never seen him get so emotional before.<br>'''Ike:''' I can’t say that I blame him. I’d be pretty furious if I heard someone that I loved was wandering around two countries at war. Besides, I’m sure he’d hidden his feelings about being abandoned until he saw you again.<br>'''Micaiah:''' I thought I was reaching the limit of how long I could stay with him. He grew each and every day, but I remained the same... I didn’t want him to be harmed by the curse I lived with. Can you imagine how hard that would have been on him?|[[Ike]] and Micaiah|Radiant Dawn}}</ref> For the first time, she began to open up to the people of Nevassa, and was moved by their kindness and generosity. This was also when she first met [[Yune]], her bird companion, who appeared before Micaiah after the war's conclusion and became her constant companion; Micaiah named Yune so as the word popped into her mind the first time Yune landed on her finger.<ref name="designers" />

[[File:Ss fe10 micaiah heals nico.png|thumb|right|Micaiah using [[Sacrifice]] to heal [[Nico]].]]

In the war's aftermath, Begnion assumed rule of Daein, delegating its governance to an occupational garrison under the direction of Senator [[Numida]]. Following Numida's commands, the garrison's General [[Jarod]] put Daein in an oppressive, strict stranglehold, consigning the land to poverty and famine and working its able-bodied men to death in labor camps. With her newfound love of Daein's people, Micaiah resolved to do something to ease their suffering, and together with Sothe she worked to sabotage and obstruct Begnion's activities in Nevassa as much as they could. The two soon noticed others doing the same and resolved to contact them, resulting in their meeting with [[Nolan]], [[Edward]] and [[Leonardo]]. Thus the [[Dawn Brigade]] was born with Nolan as its initial leader, though eventually Micaiah took over this role.<ref name="designers" /> Their main activities were as noble thieves, stealing goods taken by Begnion from the villagers and returning them to their rightful owners. Their actions soon won both the adulation of the people, who came to regard Micaiah as a savior and dubbed her the "Silver-Haired Maiden", and the ire of the Begnion garrison, who sought to bring an end to their insurrection, foiled only by Micaiah's foresight allowing the Brigade to elude capture.<ref>{{Cite|A band of young heroes has escaped the Begnion army to form a group called the Dawn Brigade. Fighting for a free Daein, they alone have stood against Begnion’s forces. They alone have shouldered the hopes of their nation. Among the company is a young girl named Micaiah, who is said to possess mystical powers. The people of Daein have come to know her as the “Silver-Haired Maiden.” They have come to think of her as the savior for whom they had been waiting. Begnion’s forces have tried time and again to capture and silence the Dawn Brigade. However, Micaiah’s ability to sense impending danger has thus far allowed the Dawn Brigade to evade the empire’s grasp.|Opening narration of [[Maiden of Miracles|Chapter 1]]|Radiant Dawn}}</ref>

By early summer in the year 648, the Dawn Brigade was actively hunted by Begnion forces as a serious threat to the occupation. Begnion launched an attack on one of their hideouts, one which they only barely escaped; Micaiah herself nearly fell into Begnion custody, saved only by the assistance of Sothe. This incident was what brought them for the first time to Jarod's attention.<ref>{{Cite|'''Soldier:''' S-sorry, sir. We suspect they were from the Dawn Brigade, a band of thieves that targets goods levied from the town. People say they give what they’ve stolen back to the villagers and strut around acting like heroes. They’re said to have a witch among them, a girl called the Silver-Haired Maiden. They say she can heal wounds instantly by laying her hands on any injury. Townspeople treat her like a savior.<br>'''Jarod:''' And? What have you been doing about this band of fools?<br>'''Soldier:''' “Sir. A few days ago we stormed their hideout. We found a girl much like the Silver-Haired Maiden… We ran the dogs from their den, but they were cunning and cautious, and ...we lost them.|A [[Begnion]] soldier and [[Jarod]]|Radiant Dawn}}</ref> Days later, as a result of Micaiah and Edward's actions saving a corner of Nevassa from bandits, the Begnion forces stepped up their hunt for the Brigade, closing in on their remaining hideout. After a skirmish, in which Micaiah used Sacrifice to heal [[Nico]], a child severely wounded by the soliders, the Brigade was forced to flee Nevassa.

[[File:Ss fe10 micaiah's mark.png|thumb|Micaiah shows her heron brand.]]

Upon entering the desert, Micaiah felt a distant voice calling to her, leading her to a set of ancient, treasure-filled ruins built by [[laguz]]. The Dawn Brigade fought off a band of laguz bandits led by [[Pain]] and [[Agony]], then deeper in the ruins they found [[Nailah]], [[Rafiel]] and [[Volug]], who had also been guided to the ruins by an odd voice. Sothe and Micaiah volunteered to escort the three to Crimea on their journey to Gallia. Following Volug's senses, they then travelled into the desert's southern reaches to find "a lot of beorc". There, they assisted [[Tauroneo]], [[Jill]] and [[Zihark]] in repelling a Begnion attack on a fortress housing the heir: [[Pelleas]]. In the battle's aftermath, they consulted with Pelleas, his mother [[Almedha]] and his advisor [[Izuka]], and at Pelleas's request and despite Sothe's suspicions, Micaiah joined Pelleas's cause as his vice-general, thus turning the Dawn Brigade into the first of the Daein Liberation Army.

As the war passed, Micaiah grew progressively more tired and felt her foresight growing foggy and unclear.<ref>{{Cite|Sothe, I hadn’t told you, but I haven’t been feeling well lately. My mind feels…foggy. Things I could always see clearly are now dim and vague. I may have committed us to an irreversible fate.|Micaiah|Radiant Dawn}}</ref> On the eve of the army receiving word of [[Sanaki]]'s inquest into the Daein situation, Micaiah slipped away from a celebratory banquet held by Pelleas to have some time alone, but fell into a trap at the hands of Jarod and his lieutenant [[Alder]]. Trapped alone in the dark, surrounded by Daein soldiers, she was saved only by the intervention of the [[Black Knight (character)|Black Knight]]. The two fought their way out of the attack, but in the end Micaiah let Jarod escape to grieve for Alder, who fell to the Black Knight to protect Jarod. Jarod soon retaliated with a defiant fire-bombing assault on Nevassa, and while Micaiah's insistence on doing something about it raised even more of Izuka's ire, with Pelleas's support and the assistance of the Black Knight she led the Daein Liberation Army in one final confrontation with Jarod's forces in Daein Keep. She emerged victorious, and upon Pelleas's coronation as the King of Daein, he named Micaiah the supreme commander of the Daein Royal Army. With Sothe and Volug, she resolved to restore Daein to its former glory, farewelled some of her allies as they left for other lands, and reflected with [[Muarim]] on what her brand had meant to her life.

As the last of Pelleas's confidantes to remain following Izuka and the Black Knight's departures, Micaiah devoted her days following the restoration of Daein to working in Nevassa to personally aid the reconstruction of the city.<ref name="lavish">{{Cite|'''Pelleas:''' It is nice to see you, Micaiah. You remain Daein's goddess of victory. But I never see your face around here anymore. Are you busy in town?<br>'''Micaiah:''' Your Majesty. My room in the castle is much too lavish for my taste. I'd rather be in town helping with the reconstruction. It's good work, and it makes me happy to help our people.|[[Pelleas]] and Micaiah|Radiant Dawn}}</ref> This came to an end when Pelleas instructed her to lead Daein's might to aid Begnion against the Laguz Alliance. While she had no sympathy for Begnion's side of the war, she complied out of her confidence in Pelleas, much to Sothe's dismay. She led an ambush against the Laguz Alliance army at the Ribahn River, seeking to pick off their numbers as they retreated across the river late at night. Her subsequent attempts to negotiate a cease-fire failed, and by sunrise she and the Daein army were confronted by [[Ike]] and the [[Greil Mercenaries]], acting as a decoy to ensure the laguz armies' escape without Daein interference. Ike's forces kept Micaiah's at bay, with her foresight completely failing, long enough to acheive their mission, marking a Daein defeat.

[[File:Ss fe10 micaiah destroys blood pact.png|thumb|Micaiah tears up the blood pact after [[Lekain]]'s demise.]]

In {{FE10}}, Micaiah is the "[[lord]]" character of every Part 1 chapter, also serving in this role in three Part 3 chapters played from her perspective ([[A Reason to Fight|6]], [[The Price|12]] and [[Blood Contract|13]]) and two further chapters in Part 4 ([[Chaos Named|the Prologue]] and [[Distortions|Chapter 3]]). In all five parts of the [[Rebirth|Part 4 Endgame]], she shares "lord" duties with [[Ike]]. In all of these chapters, her death will cause a Game Over.

Micaiah also serves as the boss of two Part 3 chapters played from Ike's perspective: [[Rivals Collide|7]] and [[From Pain, Awakening|the Endgame]]. In both of these boss appearances, her stats and weapons are the same as they were when she was playable in the preceding chapter.

Like most units, Micaiah is incapable of attacking certain units when they are enemies owing to her morals or personal relationships with them. She will never attack [[Ilyana]], [[Jill]], [[Zihark]] or the three [[heron]]s. In exchange, she cannot be attacked by Zihark, Jill, [[Levail]], [[Sephiran]], enemy [[Fire Spirit]]s, [[Thunder Spirit]]s or [[Wind Spirit]]s, or [[Ashera]].

==Personality and character==

Micaiah is highly empathic and cares deeply for the people of Daein, and refuses to stand idly by while they suffer under the Begnion garrison. She pays little mind to her own needs or even her health, always putting the people and her country first; indeed, her Sacrifice skill is effectively her self-sacrificing nature manifesting as a magical power. While she used to live reclusively, her experiences in the Mad King's War changed her and led her to be devoted to caring for others.<ref>{{Cite|'''Sothe:''' You have to ask? You know we can’t live in the public eye. Doing something that will deliberately make you stand out… I’m just saying, it isn’t like you, Micaiah.<br>'''Micaiah:''' When we were separated during the war, you changed, Sothe. And I changed too. I want to protect Daein more than anything. Our people must be saved, and if I can help in that effort, I will.|[[Sothe]] and Micaiah|Radiant Dawn}}</ref> Throughout her life she has been guided by her visions, and although she often wished she didn't have them and felt as if they were a burden, she nonetheless trusted in them to keep her life on the right path, and when her foresight ability weakened during the Laguz Alliance war she felt lost without them.<ref>{{Cite|What's happening? I was doing so well...for a while... I feel like...fog is clouding my mind... Am I... losing my powers? Funny... I always wished that I didn't have this farsight... It often feels like such a burden... But this clouded vision seems so strange. Now, I miss the clarity... Ironic, isn't it, Yune?|Micaiah|Radiant Dawn}}</ref> Micaiah has little interest in or taste for finery, and as a result in the days before the Laguz Alliance war, she eschewed using her lavish quarters in Daein Keep in favour of living among the people while assisting in the reconstruction of Nevassa.<ref name="lavish" />

Initially, Micaiah held an extreme dislike of [[Ike]] as a result of his military actions being responsible for Daein's suffering under Begnion; this was compounded by Sothe's frequent references to his time serving under Ike and the role Ike had played in helping him mature, which greatly frustrated her.<ref>{{Cite|'''Sothe:''' When I met Ike during the war three years ago…and fought beneath him… he made me realize this.<br>'''Micaiah:''' Honestly. Here I thought you were saying something enlightened, and you’re just talking about him again?<br>'''Sothe:''' What do you mean, again?<br>'''Micaiah:''' Sothe, sometimes, every other thing you say is like an ode to Ike. I know you fought beside him. I know you owe him your life. And I know you want to be just like him… But to the people of Daein, he’s the man who crushed us three years ago. Some would even call him our archenemy. If we hadn’t lost the war to that man, Daein wouldn’t be in the mess it’s in now. You know that.|[[Sothe]] and Micaiah|Radiant Dawn}}</ref> After meeting Ike herself while fighting for Begnion, his insistence on finding a way to peacefully resolve whatever problem compelled Daein to fight led her to understand why Sothe held him in such high regard, and so warmed significantly to him even while the two remained enemies.<ref>{{Cite|'''Ike:''' Micaiah, we have to talk.
