Junkhead Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I think she's funny. Also, I seem to have some sort of "thing" for noble girls like her...even though I never "married" her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 She's one of my favorites. She's pretty hilarious, and at first she seems to have an arrogant and annoying personality (much like Clarine in FE6), but supports reveal she's nothing like that at all once her character is explored.

Junkhead Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 She also mothers one of the most badass characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yeah, Brady's definitely an amazing character, as well. Maribelle's definitely the mother I pair more than any other, though she usually hooks up with Lon'qu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleece Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Her personality overall, I found her to be one of the more interesting characters and a lot of scenes involving her are just downright funny. Yes, She can be very arrogant and not very tact when it comes to addressing those of lower status than her but her supports show that she really does try to help others and she even goes as far to become a magistrate to reform the law and make sure everyone is treated fairly regardless of status in her endings. Also her relationship with Lissa is sweet. Maribelle is just great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just call me AL Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 eww who does that The better question is "Why wouldn't you?" As for how much I like Maribelle, well, there is a reason why I sometimes call her "Rarity". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light-Heart Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 She's alright, she's a bit snobby, but not awful in anyway, just 50/ 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I don't think a single support makes up for looking down at others 99% of the time. Heck, there are even lines from here that are directly in conflict with her "everyone should be equal before the law" statement: Like in chapter 5, she catches herself saying: "Wait. Am I really justifying myself to a commoner?" So yeah, she thinks she can do what she wants because she is holier then you and you don't have to question it, just like a Begnion senator.

Numot Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Most of the snobbishness is due to the localization that makes her look snobby, BrightBow. But as for myself, I find the way she helps people in her own strong willed way to be endearing. She also shows a wide range of emotions in her supports. That and I like her English voice a lot.

Numot Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I looked as best I could, and this is what I was able to find. For example; the supports maribelle has with vaike are compared between the japanese and english versions. http://fe-according-to-japan.tumblr.com/post/70023806796/localization-changes-maribelle-vaike-and And there was another person on tumblr intended to help educate the fandom on the localization process and made a post about the things that he/she wanted to post about and one of those was Maribelle’s Personality in the English vs Japanese: How the Changes Left Inconsistency About Her Character Throughout Her Supports Source is here: http://four-loose-screws.tumblr.com/post/55679094244/fire-emblem-localization-vs-original But that person never got around to writing that post, so this is the best I can do about showing the differences between Jap!Maribelle and Eng!Maribelle.

Cymbalina's Revenge Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Was she a good character, or a bad character for you to like? I thought Maribelle was a pretty good, likable variant on the Snobby Troubadour or whatever you want to call the Clarine/L'Arachel/Etc trope. I liked the whole magistrate angle and I quite liked her backstory with Gaius. Yeah, she's a snobby troubadour but there turns out to be more to her, and the Awakening characters I like have that something more behind the facade (shout-out to Virion).

Azura Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I think she is hilarious. My absolute favourite line from her was in one of her supports with the Avatar, where she tells him/he that she is surprised that one from the "unwashed masses" could read, and then failing to realise that it isn't a compliment. I laughed my whole way though that support convo. Also, she does have a kind side, as seen in her supports with Ricken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baticeer Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) If Maribelle was a real person whom I knew in life I would hate her for her snobbish, elitist personality, but as a character I find her very enjoyable (for the same reasons).

blah the Prussian Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I don't think a single support makes up for looking down at others 99% of the time.

Am I really justifying myself to a commoner?" So yeah, she thinks she can do what she wants because she is holier then you and you don't have to question it, just like a Begnion senator. Marribelle's character develops through her supports. She is no longer a snob by the end of the game and she made her resolution after she matured. And she is not anything like a Begnion Senator. There is a difference between snobbery and outright evil. Marribelle is easily one of my favorite characters in the game, because her goals are so similar to my own. There is also the matter of joining the Shepards in the first place to protect the common people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar_Yoshi Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I thought Maribelle was a pretty good, likable variant on the Snobby Troubadour or whatever you want to call the Clarine/L'Arachel/Etc trope. L'Arachel has a lot more in common with Cynthia than Maribelle. An obsession with smiting evil is different than an obsession with court manners.

Junkhead Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 If Maribelle was a real person whom I knew in life I would hate her for her snobbish, elitist personality, but as a character I find her very enjoyable (for the same reasons). Yeah, I agree. And that goes to many fictional characters. Things like a yandere personality (like Henry's, for example) are fun...but incredibly creepy and not-cool in real life. I think I may be able to cope with a real person with Maribelle's personality (I actually have a friend that sort of reminds me of her, in a way), because she has redeemable qualities and it's not like I'm a street-person to be look downed on.
