Maribel Mayde: Difference between revisions

'''Maribel Mayde''' is the daughter of the mayor of [[Pilchard Bay]] in the game ''[[Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past]]''.

Maribel has long auburn hair that she wears in curls. She wears a simple orange and green one piece robe over a red dress, brown shoes, and a orange kerchief over her hair.

Maribel is quite snobbish. Being the daughter of the mayor has helped nurture this trait. Her target is usually [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|the Hero]]. She regards him as a lackey, expecting him to provide protection to her, even in battle. She is often very pushy, especially when she doesn't get her way. Maribel has no problem expressing her opinion on any subject, going so far as to label the [[Wind Spirit]] a slut. To her parents, she is too rambunctious and they would like her to be more ladylike. However, beneath her abrasive exterior is a considerate heart. After she learns of her father's illness, she voluntarily leaves the party to look after him.

If the player decides to look in a mirror while Maribel is the first character in the party line-up, she will wonder if she has put on or lost weight, say her face is a masterpiece (to her parents' credit), mention she is glad she didn't inherit her father's looks, wish for a slightly straighter nose, decide she looks best with a smile on her face, comment that she manages to look good even in a shoddy old mirror, fix her hair, worry over her skin lacking its usual glow, discover a spot, and wink cheekily at herself.

In the beginning of the night, Maribel is talking to the Hero. She asks him if he will ever tell her where he and [[Kiefer]] go every day. Regardless of what the player answers, she will tell him that she will find out someday.

When the Hero and [[Kiefer]] are about to unlock the secret of the Estard Ruins, Maribel finds them. She threatens them to take her along with them or else she will tell everyone about their secret. Faced with this dilemma, the two allow her to tag along as they finish exploring the ruins. When the Hero activates the [[Shrine of Mysteries|pedestal]] that leads to [[Ballymolloy]], Maribel is shocked at the happenings. The three of them are transported to Ballymolloy.

After the party clears [[Providence]], [[Nottagen]] and [[Hubble]], Maribel exclaims that she is tired. She decides to head to her house to rest. Before they leave the Ruins, they are encountered by an Estard soldier. He tells Maribel that her father, Mayor Mayde has taken ill. Maribel hurries home to see her father bedridden, being attended to by the local priest and her mother. Maribel is in no position to adventure at this junction.

After the Hero, Ruff, [[Aishe]] and King Burns are thrown off the Sky Stone, the island of Estard is sealed, they go to see Maribel. She asks the Hero if there is a seal on their continent. She realizes that the party needs her help to remove the seal and rejoins the party.

When the [[Orgodemir|Demon Lord]] is defeated, the party goes through the lands and they sing the praises of the heroes.

After several months, the Amitt Festival occurs. Maribel once again tries to stow away on the ship but is found out by the Hero. She starts to chew him out until she is caught by the Head Cook again. However, [[Pollock]] allows Maribel to come on the fishing voyage this time, to her delight.

Maribel learns the following abilities naturally.

Maribel is the weakest character, physically speaking. She will not be dealing high damage until she reaches [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest VII)|Alltrades Abbey]] where she can change her class. She can, however, equip whips which deal successive damage to groups of enemies. Conversely, she has high MP which makes her better suited to magic classes like [[Mage]] and [[Priest]]. It should be noted that this will make her more frail and so she should always be situated in the back row.

Maribel leaves the party after the events of Nottagen, Providence and Hubble. Because of this, when the player gets her back after defeating the Demon King the first time, she is extremely frail in comparison. To assuage this, the player must remember to get her some weapons and armor from [[Buccanham]] or the [[Divine Shrine]] so that she isn't weak when she joins the party again.

Maribel appears as a special guest at [[Quester's Rest]] as part of a Wi-Fi downloadable update.  She will present the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|Hero]] with various pieces of armor modeled after her outfit for meeting certain requirements. An [[Accolade]] can be earned if the Hero is equipped with all of the pieces of Maribel's outfit.
