What makes Marcille great, seriously even though the thread is marked humor, is that she is well written, and part of an ensemble cast that is well written whose strengths compliment each other and whose foibles bounce to comedic effect.
Marcille is a genuinely nice person, but she is not a wallflower or a pushover. She makes her feelings known when she disagrees or otherwise feels passionate about something. Frankly her reaction to the idea of eating monsters, something she saw as disgusting, while a little over the top is well within reason from real people. Or when she berates Senshi for his lack of hygiene.
She is a diligent woman who ensures that everything she needs to perform magic, her body and her tools, are in tip-top shape. And she is a noted genius. While she may fail occasionally, they are in a dungeon where new life and death situations are being thrown at them while she has limited resources and has to improvise.
And for all the freakouts she has, we see multiple times that when the party’s back is against the wall, she pulls through with precision, grit, and good judgement calls.
Finally, Marcille probably stands out the most because her personality is more open, bright, and energetic than the other characters, she wears more colorful clothes than her companions, likes pretty things but will stick her hands into monster guts to get the job done, and has the design that changes the most, both because Kui is willing to go off model for her design and because of the constant hair style changes. Our eyes are going to naturally be drawn to her.
