'''Marisa''' (Japanese: {{hl|マリカ|Marika}} ''Marica''), is a [[Myrmidon]] who first appears in {{FE8}}. She is from the country of [[Jehanna]], on the continent of [[Magvel]]. She is a member of [[Gerik's Mercenaries]] and known as the Crimson Flash. She is a distant individual and dedicated to honing her skills.

In [[Ephraim]]'s route, she first appears in Chapter&nbsp;10 in a village, saying that she cannot use a certain item yet. She then leaves, and the player receives a [[Hero Crest]]. Then, in Chapter&nbsp;12, [[Ewan]] appears in the beginning of the chapter, saying that he is looking for a woman named Marisa who was mistakenly sent to [[Grado#Taizel|Taizel]], the setting of the chapter, instead of somewhere else. Afterwards, Ewan can talk to Marisa and convinces her to join Ephraim's army.

There are two different variations of Marisa available to Heroes, both of which are tied to her storyline appearance in ''The Sacred Stones''. The normal variation of Marisa was added to the game in the [[Fiery Resolve]] update and was made available to players in the third edition of the [[Tempest Trials Mini]], "Shrouded by the Storm", which initially ran from January 31, 2018, through February 7, 2018. A spring variation of Marisa was made available between the period of March 19, 2019, through April 19, 2019, as part of the summoning event surrounding the [[Regal Rabbits]] update.

==Personality==

Marisa is a quiet myrmidon who is not very sociable and is very dedicated to improving her skill at the sword. She even sleeps on her right side so she can quickly grab her sword with her dominant left hand.<ref>{{cite|'''Marisa:''' I sleep with my dominant arm up. That way, if I'm attacked, my good arm is ready to go.|[[Marisa]] and [[Tethys]]'s C support|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> She is known as the Crimson Flash, both among her fellow mercenaries and outside fighters.

 

She has had much experience fighting as a mercenary. To those not familiar with her mannerisms, she often accidentally comes across as a vicious individual,<ref>{{cite|'''Marisa:''' Where do I start killing?<br>'''Grado soldier:''' Th-that way! The Frelian troops! Don't point that blade in our direction!<br>'''Marisa:''' I'll do what I can. No promises. Good day.<br>'''Grado soldier:''' Whew...|Marisa and a Grado soldier|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> but she is simply blunt and awkward in conversation and only wishes to handle her jobs to her employer's satisfaction and hone her skills. She does not appear to hold any particular feelings on her reputation as a frightening person, as she shows no emotional reaction to when Colm apologizes for calling her a "scary woman".<ref>{{Cite|'''Colm:'' Oh, hi, Marisa! I'm sorry for what I said the other day. I figured out that you were the scary woman I was talking about. I'm Colm. Nice to meet you.<br>'''Marisa:''' OK. So, what did you want from me?|Marisa and Colm|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> While she is dedicated to her performance, she is willing to abandon her perfect performance record at Gerik's behest when she ends up assigned to fighting her own guild-mates accidentally.<ref>{{cite|'''Gerik:'' Is that you, Marisa?<br>'''Marisa: Chief.<br>'''Gerik:''' What a mess... Looks like the guild bungled. They're usually diligent about making sure this sort of thing doesn't happen. But here we are, two people of the same troop, working for opposite sides.<br>'''Marisa:''' What should we do?<br>'''Gerik:''' Aye, well, that's a good question... As a mercenary, your loyalty should always lie with the person paying your wages. You decide. We can cross blades if you want, but I'd rather you retreat. 'Course, if you betray your employer, you'll soil your sterling name.<br>'''Marisa:''' C'mon, Chief. What would YOU like me to do?<br>'''Gerik:''' Well, that's easy. I'd like you to come over and join my side.<br>'''Marisa:''' Right. Done.<br>'''Gerik:''' Ho-hold on... Is that it? Just like that? You know what this will do to your reputation, right?|Marisa and Gerik|The Sacred Stones}}</ref>

Outside of fighting for Gerik's Mercenaries she is somewhat directionless, letting others make decisions for her and just going along with them; for example, she asks Gerik if he thinks she should be more sociable and follows his wish, although she does not do very well.<ref name="sociable">{{cite|'''Marisa:''' Do you like sociable women?<br>'''Gerik:''' Um...sure, I guess. I mean, doesn't everyone? If you go to an inn, aren't the sociable gals the most popular?<br>'''Marisa:''' I understand. OK. I'll be more sociable. This better?|[[Marisa]] and [[Gerik]]'s C support|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> In another instance, she easily accepts that she and [[Tana]] are friends, although she is quite unfamiliar with the concept.<ref>{{cite|'''Tana:''' Great! Boy, I don't know what I would have done if you'd said no. But there it is. We're friends now, right, Marisa?<br>'''Marisa:''' As you say, Tana.|[[Marisa]] and [[Tana]]'s C support|The Sacred Stones}}</ref>

She has feelings for Gerik, and tries to please him by acting "sociable", but grows flustered, which is an incredibly rare reaction for her, when Gerik, who is caught off guard by her uncharacteristic behavior, laughs at her attempts.<ref name ="sociable"></ref> To others, she is often thought of as intimidating, although she is just dedicated to her training. She appears to only have an attraction to Gerik and bluntly shows no interest in other men.<ref>{{Cite|'''Gerik:''' Speaking of which, when I first met you, you were always working alone. I remember thinking how odd that was. I figured a woman as beautiful and talented as you would have men all around her.<br>'''Marisa:''' Don't need 'em.|Gerik and Marisa|The Sacred Stones}}</ref>

Her father was a very skilled swordsman of [[Jehanna]] who trained her from when she was young in the ways of the sword. He even had taught her not to move while sleeping.<ref>{{cite|'''Tethys:''' But doesn't your arm ever fall asleep? Aren't there times when you can't use it?<br>'''Marisa:''' No. My father trained me when I was a child, so that doesn't happen.<br>'''Tethys:''' When you were a child? How? Kids always roll around in their sleep.<br>'''Marisa:''' My father placed blunt swords at my sides when I slept to keep me from moving.|[[Marisa]] and [[Tethys]]'s C support|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> She thinks of him as a parent and a teacher, but also a mountain she must conquer; in her fighting, she believes that once she can surpass her father, she will be able to accomplish anything. However, according to her, she is only at the base.<ref>{{cite|'''Marisa:''' My father is my parent, my teacher, and above all, a mountain I must conquer.<br>'''Colm:''' A mountain?<br>'''Marisa:''' Once I conquer the mountain, I can accomplish anything I want.<br>'''Colm:''' That must be a...big mountain. So, where are you on the mountain? A third of the way up? Halfway up? Or can you already see the summit?<br>'''Marisa:''' ...I'm only at the base.|[[Marisa]] and [[Colm]]'s A support|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> During battle she does not see her opponents, only the shadow of her father.<ref>{{cite|'''Colm:''' Yeah. It sounds funny, but you never look at the enemy... I mean...you don't care about the enemy at all.<br>'''Marisa:''' I have no idea what you're talking about. Speak English.<br>'''Colm:''' I mean... Even when the enemy is right in front of you, you aren't even looking at him. You're fighting something else.<br>'''Marisa:''' Something else?<br>'''Colm:''' I'm not that smart, and I don't know much about swords. So I can't say exactly who or what it is you are really fighting.<br>'''Marisa:''' I see.<br>'''Colm:''' Um... What I mean to say is good luck in all your battles. Um... That's it. See you later!<br>'''Marisa:''' The enemy...I'm really fighting?</ref><ref>{{cite|'''Marisa:''' Do you want to know? What I'm really fighting with?<br>'''Colm:''' Huh? Y-yeah...... If you want to tell me, sure.<br>'''Marisa:''' What I'm really fighting with is...<br>'''Colm:''' ...<br>'''Marisa:''' My father.<br>'''Colm:''' Your father?!<br>'''Marisa:''' Well, to be more precise, his shadow.<br>'''Colm:''' Was he a swordsman also?<br>'''Marisa:''' He was one of the most famous swordsmen in Jehanna.|Marisa and [[Colm]]|The Sacred Stones}}</ref>

*Marisa is ambidextrous, able to use both of her hands for tasks with roughly equal skill, though she claims that her left is stronger.<ref>{{cite|No, I can use either hand... But my left hand is stronger.|Marisa to Tethys|The Sacred Stones}}</ref>

**Marisa switching her sword to her left hand for her special activation artwork in {{title|Heroes}} is in reference to this.
