Maribelle

Maribelle is a member of Chrom's Shepherds and is the daughter of the Duke of Themis, an influential noble family in Ylisse. Prior to the joining the Shepherds, Gaius broke into Maribelle's father's treasury and was caught. He shifted the blame to her the Duke, causing him to be sentenced to death, though Gaius sent a letter after the trial that saved the Duke from the headsman's axe. This incident caused Maribelle to resent Gaius, though she wondered how he knew of her father's name, as he was relatively unknown outside the nobility. Maribelle eventually learned from Gaius that he was blackmailed into doing so by other nobles who threatened to imprison him and kill her. Maribelle later apologized to Gaius and sent the newfound evidence to her father. During her childhood, her personality hurt her social life, being alienated by many of her fellow noble peers, who, perceiving it as weird, took to cruelly mocking her and falsifying rumors about her. Lissa was the only person willing to befriend Maribelle and accept her for who she is at the time, compelling Maribelle to view Lissa as her most treasured friend, vowing to protect her, even at the cost of her own life.
