Micaiah seems to become pretty godly by the end of the game. Mine maxed everything but strength by 20/20, and again had everything but strength maxed by 20/20/20 (oddly, her luck max is the same in 2nd and 3rd tiers, so that couldn't grow at all during 3rd tier either). Her speed issues seem to only be a concern in the early stages, really.
Then again, everyone seems to max some stats pretty easily in RD. I mean, my Ike started with skill maxed just because I gave him the +2 from a PoR transfer, and he maxed strength after only a few levels, then had no trouble maxing them (and other stats) again while growing through 3rd-tier. Everyone on my final team except the Laguz had at least 3 stats maxed, and one, Nolan, had everything maxed, literally.
And yeah, Marth's definitely returning. He and Ike are the only two really obvious characters from FE, and he has even more going for him than Ike. I'm not so confident about Micaiah personally, but I still hope she makes.
