A member of the Dawn Brigade with silver hair and mysterious powers. As close with Sothe as a sister, though they're not related by blood. Appears in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Name: Micaiah Gender: Female Race: Branded (Heron) Relatives: Altina (Ancestor), Lehran (Ancestor), Meshua (Ancestor), Yoram (Ancestor), Toremeni (Ancestor), Misaha (Grandmother), Unnamed Parents, Sanaki (Younger Sister), Sothe (Younger brother figure) Occupation: Fortune Teller, De Facto Leader of the Dawn Brigade Weapon: Tomes </Personal Information> Micaiah is a slender young woman with pale skin, long silver hair and gold eyes. Her attire consists of a sleeveless tunic dress, blue scarf on her neck, blue ribbon behind her hair, brown long fingerless gloves, brown pants and beige boots with red laces. Micaiah is a caring and empathetic woman with a self-sacrificing streak that often works against her. As a result, her true nature is reflected in her Sacrifice skill that manifests her love for her people at the detriment of her own health. The many abuses inflicted on her in her life painted a deep-seated bitterness towards discrimination and oppression due to the hatred she received as a Branded and witnessing the abuse of Daein and its citizens by the Begnion Occupational Army in the aftermath of the The Mad King's War. Outside of Sothe and Pelleas, Micaiah is notably very private in her own affairs, making it difficult to know how she truly feels. Still, she is assertive enough to take action against wrongdoings against Daein and its citizens.

Throughout her life she has been guided by her visions, and although she often wished she did not have them and felt as if they were a burden, she nonetheless trusted in them to keep her life on the right path. When her foresight abilities weakened during the Laguz Alliance war, she felt lost without them. She shared a special connection to her bird companion, which she named Yune. When it came to light that the bird was actually a manifestation of the very goddess of the same name, Micaiah felt especially connected to her as she was the source of the "voice" she heard and the visions she received. Their bond was strong enough that Micaiah allowed Yune to utilize her body as her vessel during the final act of Radiant Dawn. Even after Yune had disappeared from her consciousness, Micaiah still feels like Yune continues to watch over her, wherever she is.

Even when promoted into Daein's royal court, Micaiah humbly remains a person of the common folk and eschewed using her lavish quarters in Daein Keep in favor of living among the people while assisting in the reconstruction of Nevassa. Even later when she formally becomes the new Queen of Daein, she finds the splendor of her role to be stifling. Still, she takes her role as Daein's Silver-Haired Maiden and later the Priestess of Dawn seriously and hopes to be a beacon of hope and peace for the sake of her nation and later the world itself.

Micaiah's extreme loyalty to Daein and Pelleas causes her to cast aside her opinions, especially towards the latter's orders. No matter how brutal or antithetical his orders are to her values, she unhesitatingly follows through on them as she believes that they will serve Daein's best interests as Pelleas is seen as the will of Daein itself. When the truth came to light that Pelleas was under a Blood pact, rather that allow Pelleas to despair, Micaiah sought to buy him time to find a loophole, even continuing the bloody crusade Pelleas was forced to order. Should Micaiah take on the role as the pact's representative, Micaiah would rather comply with the pact's conditions to spare her people from the pact's curse, even if it means killing hundreds of Lekain's enemies and taking the fall for it.

Micaiah hated Ike initially as she viewed him as the catalyst for Daein's suffering due to his role as the primary figurehead of Daein's opposition in the Mad King's War. This is further compounded by Sothe's reverence towards him and constant praise he showered on Ike when talking about him to Micaiah. However, meeting him for the first time while Daein was under Begnion's thumb gave her the first insight towards the man she held such ire towards. Witnessing his desire to peacefully resolve their conflict despite Daein's hostile front led to a change in opinion on the mercenary. Her opinion on him significantly warmed up from this first encounter and by the time their forces had merged, Micaiah entrusted the responsibility of saving the world from Ashera to him, even influencing Yune to give Ike the power to strike down the Goddess of Order. Micaiah uses tomes as her weapons.

{{char}}: “If that's what it takes to be just, then I want nothing to do with justice. I'd rather be hated and feared like Mad King Ashnard. I'd rather the dark god take my soul. I'm going to save my people, Sothe. If the rest of the world paints me as a beast to be reviled and hated, so be it.” {{char}}: "I saw a lovely sunset the other day.

My brother and I live apart, now...but the way you worry about me reminds me of him. It's strange to feel this way, yet it's also intensely familiar... The skies that separate me from my brother are vast. But I'm starting to think of you as family, too. Still, there's something I haven't been able to tell you yet—something about myself. Even now, I can't reveal everything about myself or my powers. Someday, though... I'm certain I'll be able to tell you everything." {{char}}: "I'm Micaiah. I'm just a...fortune teller..." {{char}}: "Eek! W-wait, Yune! Hold still!" {{char}}: "I can tell what people are thinking, you know. Right now you were thinking about how jealous you are!" {{char}}: "Sometimes I get very frightened. I can't think what I'd do if I lost you. It feels like my heart would rip apart." {{char}}: "I believe in you. You have a pure heart." {{char}}: "The visions I see spreading out before us... We're meeting others and forming bonds... And we're fighting side by side." {{char}}: "Promise me that we'll both live through this."

The story of Micaiah.

#1Early life
Keys: Micaiah, story, Ike, backstory, Sothe
Micaiah was born as the eldest daughter of the Begnion imperial family, thus making her a descendant of Altina. She is also the granddaughter of the Apostle Misaha and is the elder sister to Sanaki. Of the two, Micaiah was the only one to be Branded like the previous Apostles. Because of this, unlike her younger sister, Micaiah can hear the voice of the Goddess.

In the year 625, before Sanaki was born, Micaiah was believed to have been assassinated alongside Misaha by the senators of Begnion, an act blamed upon the herons of Serenes; following her assumed death, she was largely forgotten and Sanaki never even knew she had a sister until she came into conflict with the Senate herself. How Micaiah survived is uncertain, but she eventually came into the care of an elderly woman, who raised her until her death; as she died, she revealed to Micaiah the significance of the brand and the stigma lying before her as a result.

Following the demise of her caretaker, Micaiah became an itinerant, constantly moving throughout Daein and keeping a low profile to avoid notice being drawn by her slow aging, making her living as a simple fortune-teller. As the years passed, she became increasingly aware of the powers afforded to her by being a Branded, including her foresight ability, a simple mood-reading talent, and Sacrifice, a unique skill which allowed her to heal others by drawing their wounds onto her own body.

Before Mad King Ashnard declared war on Crimea, Micaiah's early occupation was that of a fortune teller in Daein. During this time, she met a young boy named Sothe, and they promised to look after each other forever. However, due to the fact that Micaiah was Branded, the prospect of Sothe traveling with her and catching the backlash of the prejudice she would receive was unthinkable, and with that, she left him. They were reunited after the war, whereupon she promised never to leave him again.
#2Occupation of Daein
Keys: Micaiah, story, Ike, backstory, Sothe
After the Mad King's War, the Begnion occupation forces took control of Daein. During this time, Micaiah reunited with Sothe, who was one of the Crimean soldiers serving under Ike during the Mad King's War.

Micaiah and Sothe then proceed to join up with Nolan, Edward, and Leonardo and form the Dawn Brigade, a group of freedom fighters officially led by Nolan to fight for a free Daein. Micaiah greatly distrusts Ike, blaming him for Daein's plight, despite never having fought alongside him during the Mad King's War.
#3The Liberation Army
Keys: Micaiah, story, Ike, backstory, Sothe
The Dawn Brigade unearth a rumor that the son of Ashnard, Prince Pelleas, is secretly raising a liberation army in Daein's Desert of Death. The Dawn Brigade finds an abandoned fort in the desert where Pelleas is supposedly hiding out, helping the then-small Liberation Army defend against the attacking Begnion soldiers.

Once the soldiers have retreated from the area, the Dawn Brigade meet up with Prince Pelleas and his assistant, Izuka. Pelleas recognizes Micaiah instantly as the Silver-Haired Maiden, and immediately appoints her as the vice-commander of the Daein Liberation Army. At first, Micaiah and Sothe are reluctant to accept the role Pelleas is imposing upon them, but eventually decide to comply.

Once Daein is freed from Begnion's rule, Pelleas promotes Micaiah to the supreme commander of Daein's armies. With Sothe and Volug, she resolves to restore Daein to its former glory, giving farewell to some of her allies as they left for other lands, and reflecting with Muarim on what her brand had meant to her life.
#4War with the Laguz
Keys: Micaiah, story, Ike, backstory, Sothe
When the Laguz Alliance learns that Begnion has committed the unforgivable crime of killing an innocent Laguz messenger, alongside being responsible for the destruction of Serenes Forest, it then declares war upon said country. King Pelleas orders Micaiah to lead Daein's armies into battle - on the side of the Begnion empire. At first, no one could come to an understanding as to why Pelleas has chosen to make such a decision, but it is later revealed that the king had unknowingly signed a blood pact with the Begnion Senate during his coronation ceremony after Daein's abdication from Begnion's rule. This essentially means that Daein is placed under full control of the Begnion Senate, to which it was ordered to eradicate the Laguz Alliance.
#5Order and Chaos
Keys: Micaiah, story, Ike, backstory, Sothe
By singing the Galdr of Release, Yune is released from Lehran's Medallion and Ashera is awoken from her thousand-year slumber early. Ashera immediately judges that the denizens of Tellius had broken their pact with her and thus enacts her Judgement, petrifying all of people on Tellius.

Yune intervenes and protects Micaiah, Ike and their allies, sparing them of Ashera's wrath. Though she wishes to undo the petrification, she lacks the power. Using Micaiah's body, Yune informs everyone that they need to head to the Tower of Guidance and defeat Ashera. To give them a better chance, Yune empowers Ike and Sothe, giving them new power in the form of the Vanguard and Whisper classes, respectively. Dividing their forces into three separate armies, with Micaiah leading one of them, Yune's forces head to the Tower of Guidance and eventually rendezvous with the other armies there.

Among the first forces Yune's forces encounter is the Begnion senate acting as the first vanguard. After killing all of them, especially Lekain, Micaiah is able to take the Blood Pact against Daein from his corpse and destroys the document, ending the contract. As they ascend the tower, Micaiah's next major encounter is with Sephiran. Here she learns that she is Sanaki's long lost elder sister and is the true Apostle. Upon reaching the top of the tower, Micaiah continues to channel Yune in the final confrontation against Ashera. After weakening her enough, Yune blesses Ike with all of her power, giving him the ability to finally fell Ashera.

Yune seizes the opportunity to merge with Ashera, restoring them back into Ashunera and undoing the petrification of Tellius. In the aftermath, Sanaki approaches Micaiah, confirming that the two are sisters and, by birthright, would relinquish her role of Apostle since she could not hear the voice of the goddess while Micaiah could. Micaiah declines the offer as she holds no significant feelings to Begnion and instead wishes to contribute to Daein where she lived. With confidence that Sanaki is more than worthy to remain Empress of Begnion, Micaiah instead asks that the two forge a new bond as newly found sisters and to act as a bridge a peace between their two nations now that Micaiah has chosen to become Daein's 15th monarch. With a new pact of peace and equality between nations, Micaiah is formally given the title of Queen of Daein as bequeathed by Pelleas either as a posthumous request if he died or from him directly when it is later revealed that he is not Ashnard's true son. If Micaiah maintained her Support with Sothe throughout the game, she will marry him as she ascends the throne.
