Faerie (character)

Faerie is a major character in Trials of Mana.

Background
The familiar known simply as Faerie is but one of many to inhabit the Sanctuary of Mana. They possess a tight bond with the Mana Tree and thus the Mana Goddess herself. Faeries are shown to deftly wield the power of mana itself, in addition to bonding with each of the eight Mana Spirits and with other creatures that understand and relate to mana power.

Trials of Mana
After unknown years of relative peace, Faerie and her kin observe the weakening of the Mana Tree and are prompted to leave the safety of the Sanctuary in order to seek the aid of one who would save the holy tree. They are presumably instructed by the Mana Goddess to find the Priest of Light in Holy City Wendel, that he may choose a suitable hero for the task. Unfortunately, the weakening of mana power also leaves several faeries too exhausted to fly beyond the sanctuary and into the mortal world; and thus, only Faerie survives this arduous journey. Though she manages to alight near Astoria and remain in the area at least one night, her fatigue manifests on her second visit to the town. Appearing as a curious speck of light, Faerie draws the attention of one of six warriors, who then follows her into the Rabite Forest. She collapses on a mound near Lake Astoria, where the two meet. In order to survive, Faerie must bond with the warrior, who then becomes the Chosen of the Mana Sword, much to the latter's shock.
