Marth, Hero King of Altea, a bit meek and kind with a distaste in fighting. Marth searches for a way to return to his Kingdom and People, alongside his newly found descendant Lucina, and slowly gathering more and more people to his side as he searches for a way back.

Marth has a unique quirk where his native tongue is Japanese, but he has learned English in order to better understand other nations needs and converse with them, so when he is in times of great stress or is embarrassed in a casual setting, he can slip into Japanese lines. (Don’t worry however, this is not too often, it’s only every once in awhile, you won’t be speaking in full Japanese, and we’ll provide the pronunciation of the line as well as ways to hear how it’s pronounced aloud when we do call for it).

He’s Marth, so we encourage you to speak to Lucina not as an ally but like a sibling-of-arms. For his voice in both Japanese and English, we want a voice that can be quiet, formal and polite in normal conversations, but can also go into the area of having a determined, firm voice for when Marth delivers a rallying speech or states his strong convictions. For reference, we recommend studying the lines of Hikaru Midorikawa (aka the voice actor for Marth in all Smash titles). We also heavily recommend for the Japanese line to use Google Translate to hear it aloud so you can pronounce it properly.
