Yesterday I asked people if would like to see a post talking about Micaiah and Fire Emblem Heroes.
And the tweet got better results than expected, so, I decided to write a little bit about some ideas that would work with Micaiah.
First of all, Micaiah is a slowish-glass cannon character with good res, so, her work is to take magical hits and take as much as is possible, and return to the enemies powerful counter-attacks; Micaiah is also a support unit in Radiant Dawn, so, I'll mention some ideas about it too.
Basic Idea
Stat Spread:
Base stats 5 stars
Level 1: 15/16/17 HP -- 8/9/10 Atk -- 7/8/9 Spd -- 2/3/4 Def -- 7/8/9 Res
Level 40: 32/35/39 HP -- 34/37/40 Atk -- 24/27/31 Spd -- 12/16/19 Def -- 33/36/39 Res
Growth Points: 5 HP (+19) -- 9 Atk (+28) -- 5 Spd (+19) -- 2 Def (+13) -- 9 Res (+28)
Weapon Type: Blue Tome
Unit Type: Infantry
Micaiah's spread is like a tankier version of Sanaki; I decided to give her Blue Tome because we lack characters in this category with spreads like Sanaki's or Julia's (slow-ish, powerful, good Atk/Res with bad defense)
Weapon (Undefined name for a new weapon or Thani): Unheritable; +2 Res and Spd; Heavy-Blade Res-Based Skill or Effective Damage against Armored and cavalry units.
Special: Growing Light (This special was decided as a reference too the AoE attacks in RD, and it would have a great synergy with the "Magic Blade" Skill)
A Slot: Warding Stance 3 (Her whole "mage tank" niche is amplified with this skill, and makes the use of the "Magic Blade" practically guaranteed)
B Slot: Yune's Blessing (New Skill, uninheritable, it's effect would denegate the activation or charge of Specials when Micaiah's HP ≥ 50%; this ability serves like a way to avoid be killed in the first combat with overwhelming combinations; YB has its base in skills like Nihil and Aurora in Radiant Dawn)
C Slot: Atk Ploy (This is mostly here because it works with her Res-Based Skillset and makes her even tankier against the enemy).
Special mentions:
Warding Breath: The Res Version of Steady Breath, it would be a fitting skill for the RD protagonist... I didn't use it because unlike Brave!Ike, Micaiah doesn't have natural access to battle specials.
Ardent Sacrifice (and some kind of special variant as it's promoted version): Sacrifice is Micaiah's signature ability, but personally I'm not sure how it would work a uninheritable version of Ardent Sacrifice.

What do you think about these ideas? I started this post with the intention of seeing the opinions of all the fans and other interested people, I would be very happy to see your own ideas; thanks for your attention.
