Marilith

Marilith is a tough foe with several dangerous attacks, but fortunately it is possible to nullify them all. While her Magic Defense is quite high, she has a weakness to Status magic that gives Spells such as Slow1, Silence, and Bind approximately a 35% chance of success. Because they may fail, and Marilith casts Fire2 regularly, your White Mage may want to open with NulFire. Marilith's six attacks each do a lot of damage, making her physical attack extremely dangerous. If Slow1 doesn't stick, Shld2 can help reduce the damage by as much as 72 per round. If you do manage to Slow and Silence Marilith, she will be virtually unable to dish out any damage.

As for offense, other Spells are basically useless against Marilith, so stick to your usual buffs like Steel and Haste. Invis2 isn't bad, if you have it, because of how many hits Marilith gets. Status Spells other than those listed above, such as Fog, can work but have less than a 15% chance of success. Marilith's Defense is high, but a relentless attack can chip away at her 1,200 HP. It's easier when she can't hurt you, but entirely doable regardless.
