真紗 has 20 strokes in total (真: 10, 紗: 10). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 真紗 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Marcia”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (マーシャ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
