Marcia

Marcia (マーシャ, Māsha) is a pink haired Begnion knight, who is first met confronting a group of pirates in her search for her older brother, Makalov in Chapter 3 of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance: the pirates refuse to cooperate and Marcia tries to fight them off. She cannot be recruited in this chapter, but if Ike talks to her, she will leave and return in Chapter 9, where Ike has to talk to her again and she will join.

In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, she is discharged from Begnion's Holy Guard, and becomes a member of the Crimean Royal Knights, along with her brother. Since joining the Crimean army, she has become a friend of Queen Elincia, but continues to be repulsed by Makalov's fondness for gambling and drinking.

One of Marcia's distinctive traits is the way she speaks. Often times, she will use words like "clambake" and "sponge-brain" as insults. In place of profanities, she will use words like "crackers", as in, "Oh, crackers!" or "Oh Chestnuts".
