| ====[[The Flame of Hope]]====
| |
| A sproutling complains of his aching belly to a [[Nuns|nun]] in [[Gato Grottoes]]. It looks like he's been infected with a [[Popo Bug]] parasite. The nun wants to take it and sell it for a pretty penny. However, each time the lady tries to get her hands on the bug, the leafy guy jitters, stating it hurts, and runs away. In his distress, the sproutling bumped into a praying nun in the Temple of Healing, twisting her ankle. During the [[Sandra|Jewel Hunter]] investigation, the protagonist retrace the steps left by the sproutling accompanying Sandra who disguised as a nun by spotting the leaves left on the ground. The bug is finally extracted by the Jewel Hunter near the [[Cancun Bird]], moments before her escape with the [[Jumi]] core of Ruby.

| ====[[The Cage of Dreams]]====
| |
| A sproutling has collapsed in front of the hero's [[Home|house]], surrounded by [[Li'l Cactus]] and three others of his kin. One of them says he has been chosen to go the spiritual world to become part fo a big tree. The sproutling explains to Li'l Cactus that plants are all connected by their roots, even though they look like separate beings. If many plants rejoin the big tree in the spiritual dimension, then the tree will be revived in Fa'Diel.

| |
| Meanwhile, [[Nunuzac]] the sorcerer has trapped the chosen sproutling in a dream dimension. [[Belle]] tries to convince him to let the poor creature out, but Nunuzac replies Sproutlings should stay as they are and not become one with the sacred tree, since Nunuzac saw was peoplekind was able to do when they sought to harness the tree's power in the past. [[Pokiehl]] then tries to reason with the circular sorcerer, saying his friend's views of the world in incomplete, as love is what fuels bliss by sharing it. After much debating, Nunuzac finally complies and teleport the main character to the dimention he trapped the sproutling. The leafy guy remembers his task of becoming the new [[Mana Tree]] by focusing on the light of love on the tree's wounds.

| The enigmatic guardians of the Tree of Mana, Sproutlings are said to share a singular consciousness, a fact that is made evident through the linear personality that all such beings appear in ''Legend of Mana''. In general, Sproutlings are a rather placid group of beings, roaming the domains of the towns they inhabit in a carefree manner. Their placidity is especially evident in ''The Cage of Dreams'', where, the protagonist's resident Sproutling, despite having been abducted by Nunuzac, remains undeterred in maintaining its tranquil, genteel demeanor even after being found and rescued.
| |
|
| |
| Speaking to any Sproutling reveals naturalistic leanings that are to be expected of beings that have established a symbiotic relationship with the Tree of Mana; they constantly talk about their love of various aspects of nature, including the "wind" and the "leaves."
| |
|
| |
|
| Despite seemingly being ethereal in the steadfastness of their serenity, Sproutlings have proven to be just as capable of experiencing physical pain as the other living beings residing in Fa'Diel do. In ''The Flame of Hope'', for one, a Sproutling enters a state of frenzied panic due to stomach pains induced by a Popo bug parasitical attack. ''Seeing Double'' further supports this, as the panicked responses to the faux-Hero/Heroine's plucking of Sproutling leaves throughout Domina reveal.
