|
| {{nihongo|'''{{PAGENAME}}'''|ママチャ|, Mamacha}} is the strong-willed mother of [[Korcha]] and sets an example for her son by living bravely. She appears early on in {{CC}}.
| | '''Macha''' (ママチャ, ''Mamacha'') is a playable character in ''Chrono Cross'', with red innate abilities. She has two children, [[Korcha]] and [[Mel]]. She offers to assist [[Serge]] if the player chooses not to save Kid. |
| | |
| ==Appearance==
| |
| Plump and dark-skinned, Macha is always seen smiling. Wearing a purple dress with a red and yellow hemmed slit, her hair is also purple. To match her pink headband, she wears a pink halter-top. On her headband is an exotic flower with red and orange petals. For jewelry, bronze-colored earrings dangle from her ears, several thin necklaces of the same metal wrap around her throat, a patterned bracelet is worn above her elbow, and a matching anklet sits above her shoeless feet. As a mother, Macha tends to many household chores. So it is no wonder she wields cooking utensils and carries around a basket of laundry. Even her [[tech]]s reflect her duties as housewife.
| |

| ==Story==
| |
| Growing up in [[Guldove]], Macha is cultured in its way of life. Later in her life, she marries a man, and together, they birth Korcha. Her husband somehow perishes from unknown causes and is never mentioned by her or her children. Though she raises Korcha with a mother's love, Korcha becomes free-spirited and wild. Regardless, Macha has the final say in any matters regarding her son. After his birth, she also adopted [[Mel]]; her two children live in the residential tower with her. When Korcha refuses to lend [[Serge]] his boat after Serge declines to look for [[Hydra Humour]] to cure [[Kid]]'s poison, Macha intervenes and lends them the boat of her own accord. Arriving in Termina, she reprimands the dock overseer-er for not allowing them to dock their vessel there. She then joins the party and accompanies Serge on the rest of his adventure.

| ===Info on Macha's brother(s) and husband===
| |
| *It is stated in the [[Chrono Cross Ultimania]] on [[Orcha]]'s character page that Macha is the younger sister of Orcha, which would also make her a sister to [[Belcha]].
| |
| *It is also said in the Japan-only book "[[Missing Piece]]" (on Orcha's page) that Macha's husband's name was {{nihongo|"Papacha"|パパチャ}}, and that he is thought to have cut a slim figure based on the fact that [[Korcha]] is not as large framed as his mother or two uncles.
| |
| Note that none of the information concerning Orcha or "Papacha"/Macha's husband is directly stated in the game proper.
| |
| | |

| ==Etymology==
| |
| *The ''Ma'' at the beginning of her name is probably a reference to the colloquialism for ''mother''. This is further reinforced by her Japanese name, which is "Mamacha" - just like in English, in Japanese, "mama" is a colloquial term for mother. "CHA" seems to be a phonentic addition to word endings in the [[Guldove]] dialect. Combined, her name indicates that she is a mother from Guldove.
| |
| *''Macha'' appears to be the feminized form of the word ''macho'', though this only applies to her English name, so this is probably unintended by the developers.
