Summary

Marle is one of the main characters of Chrono Trigger, first game of the Chrono series. Originating from the present era in the 1000 A.C., she's the princess of Guardia, with her true name being Marle, and always had problems about her relationship in her family, especially with his father, to the point of running away from the castle, calling herself Marle to not get recognized. While running away, che encounters Crono at the Millenial Fair, becoming friends with him. There they encounter Lucca, who has created a teleport machine, and after Crono has tried it, she does as well. However, he pendant has triggered a weird reaction in the machine, teleporting her in a distant era instead, the 600 A.C.. Crono and Lucca run to rescue her to bring her back in the present, and afer doing so, they discover the existence of the Time Gates, portals which allow the user to travel to the era those gates are linked to. This time the three were at the future, in the 2300 A.C., which was reduced to a total wasteland, later discovering it was from Lavos, an alien parasite which one day will come out from the Earth's insides and destroy everything. Marle and her friends decide that they can't let that happen, so they take on a time travelling adventure in order to save the humanity of the far future.

Marle has generally a really caring, soft and especially strong-willed personality. Her preffered weapons are crossbows.

Noteworthy Techniques and Abilities

  • Crows Bow Hit: If an enemy is right next to Marle instead of shooting them she will hit them with the hilt of her bow.
  • Cross Bow Shot: Marle shoots an enemy with her crossbow from long range.
  • Critical Hit: Marle shoots two crossbow's at once dealing massive damage to the enemy
  • Counter-Attack: When equipped with certain accessories Marle will counter when an enemy attacks her without taking up a turn.

  • Aura: Aura is Marle's 1st-level Tech and the first healing Tech of the game, Chrono Trigger. Aura heals approximately 50 Hit Points initially, but in its most powerful form, it heals up to 500 Hit Points. It can be used both in battle and outside of battle, through the menu. While effective to cast it alone, it also pairs with Crono's Cyclone Tech to perform Aura Whirl. Marle holds her arms out and an halo of blue light appears around her, then purple sparkles appear around the character whom the Tech was cast on. A high-pitched sound plays and the targeted character spins and their Hit Points heal.
  • Allure: Allure (also known as Provoke in the SNES/PS version) is Marle's 2nd-level Tech in Chrono Trigger. While seemingly ineffective, Allure draws enemy techs to Marle, provoking them to attack her instead of fellow party members. Allure is one of two non-offensive and non-healing techs to appear in a Triple Tech. Alongside Ayla and Lucca, she uses Allure to perform Poyozo Dance, a powerful tech with an innocuous and fun appearance, much like the animation for Allure. Additionally, she uses the Tech in conjunction with Ayla's Charm to boost the success rate of stealing valuable items from enemies. It is interesting that the two are paired together in this tech, and that both the rudimentary techs involved in it, rely on a sexual appeal to cast. As Ayla and Marle are distant relatives, this may be a way for the game designers to hint at their symmetrical personalities, or show that Marle's personality is somehow genetically inspired by her early ancestor. Marle giggles and turns around with a spin, then taps her bottom three times. With each tap, an odd sound effect plays.
  • Ice: Ice is Marle's 3rd-level Tech in Chrono Trigger, her first magic, and an enemy skill. Marle learns this upon meeting Spekkio.

  • Cure: Cure is Marle's 4th-level Tech in Chrono Trigger. It's yet another one of Marle's healing Techs, being significantly stronger than Aura. Marle makes her casting pose, which involves her holding her hands together and her hair floating. Big, yellow sparkles circle in front of her and similar sparkles shower upon whom the Tech was cast on.
  • Haste: Haste is Marle's 6th-level Tech. Doubling an ally's speed, Marle learns Haste after acquiring 250 Tech Points. While Haste is a useful Tech, equipping the Haste Helm provides a single ally with a permanent speed boost, equivalent to the boost granted by Haste, until unequipped. When cast, Marle holds her hands together and sends a batch of sparkles into the air. Extending her hands out toward the target, a tickling clock appears above their head. While Haste is in effect, the afflicted character glows red.
  • Ice II: Ice II is Marle's 6th-level Tech and one of Magus' starting Techs. Also an enemy skill, Ice II is Marle's strongest offensive Magical Tech in the game.

Following this, the screen turns blue and a blue ring bursts from her as two layers of jagged ice crash down on all opponents for moderate Water damage.
  • Cure II: Cure II is Marle's 7th-level Tech. It fully restores the Hit Points of one party member. While being able to cast Cure II, it can be used outside of battle through the game menu. It is the stronger version of Cure. Sparkles circle around then caster, and numerous sparkles shower upon the character this Tech is cast on.
  • Arise: Arise is Marle's 8th-level Tech and the ultimate healing magic in Chrono Trigger. As Marle spins and white sparkles circle around her, she closes her eyes and a strong beige light shines upon the knocked-out character. Three small, blond angels descend the pillar of light and flutter into the character, which is then revived and fully healed.
