Editing Maribel Mayde (section)

==={{DQ7}}===
In the middle of the night, Maribel is talking to the {{Hero 7}}. 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.

On the day of the pilchard harvest, Maribel tries to stow away on the fishing expedition. However she is found out by the hero. When she yells at him for revealing her hiding spot, she is discovered by the ship's cook who proceeds to throw her off the ship.

Afterwards, [[King Donald]] summons the hero to [[Estard]] Castle. Maribel witnesses this summons and tags along, telling him that she wanted to go shopping in the castle town. The two head to the castle town where she leaves him to talk to the king, telling him that she can find her way back home by herself.

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.

====Strategy====
Maribel naturally has the lowest max HP, Strength, and Resilience growth of the party. She will not be dealing high damage until she reaches {{Alltrades Abbey 7}} where she can change her vocations. She can, however, equip whips which deal successive damage to groups of enemies. Conversely, she has high MP which makes her better suited to spellcasting vocations like [[Mage]] and [[Priest]]. It should be noted that this will make her more susceptible to harm, so she should always be situated in the back row. The Nintendo 3DS version of the game added [[Bang]] to her repertoire of spells she can learn naturally, increasing her usefulness early in the game by helping her clear out groups of enemies.

She can equip knives, wands, and whips as her weapons and wear robes, dresses, and other lightweight clothing, along with hats and a limited selection of shields. Late in the game, she will even be able to equip the powerful [[Metal king sword]]. Since her Agility growth is second only to [[Ruff]]'s, she makes a great choice to act as designated healer by giving her items like the [[Salvation stone]] and the [[Staff of salvation]]. 

Maribel temporarily 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 will likely fall behind the rest of the party. To assuage this, the player should get her some better equipment from [[Buccanham]] or the [[Divine Shrine]] to get her back up to speed when she rejoins.
