Canon[]
Awakening[]
Lissa and Maribelle are childhood friends, having met through family as Lissa is the youngest princess of Ylisse, and Maribelle the daughter of a Ylissean duke. Lissa was Maribelle's first real friend as she struggled to connect to others due to her prickly nature, however Lissa still reached out and for that Maribelle was so grateful that she decided to devoted herself to protecting Lissa.
In their first support conversations, Lissa and Maribelle share a new tea that Maribelle had bought for Lissa. Maribelle proudly notes that she knew Lissa would love it as Lissa has only ever mentions the tea's flavor if it's a citrus blend. Lissa is surprised that Maribelle seemingly knows her better than she knows herself. When Lissa tries asking what Maribelle favorite flavour is, she playfully teases Lissa that it is grizzly bear blood, though she indicates that it was indeed a joke and reassures Lissa that her preference lies in whatever tea brings Lissa joy. Lissa is left somewhat unsatisfied with her answer.
Later, following a battle, Lissa expresses concern over the constant danger they face and worries about Maribelle's safety, urging her to prioritize her own well-being. Maribelle reassures Lissa of her dedication to keeping her safe but struggles to accept Lissa's concern for her own safety. Despite Lissa's insistence, Maribelle deflects the seriousness of the conversation and suggests they take a bath together to relax.
Following another battle Lissa rushes to Maribelle's side after Maribelle jumped between Lissa and an oncoming enemy, fearing she may have been seriously hurt. When Maribelle tries to brush off her worries Lissa asks why Maribelle is always trying to protect her. Maribelle reveals that her determination to protect Lissa stems from their childhood, where Lissa's kindness and friendship rescued her from loneliness and bullying within the court. Despite Lissa's belief that she did nothing extraordinary, Maribelle sees her as a beacon of light in her darkest times. Lissa tells Maribelle she never cared about any rumors surrounding her, that she wants to be able to make her own friends and she has always thought Maribelle is a wonderful person. Lissa emphasizing that that she is no fragile teacup who always needs protecting and that she intends to look out for and protect Maribelle too.
