Students are minor supporting characters in Legend of Mana and recurring characters in the Mana series.

Background

The term "Students" collectively refers to the attendees of Geo's Academy of Magic in Legend of Mana. Students are divided into distinct classes, a fact that can be distinguished by the varying colours of the robes that they don.

The students are all named after herbs and spices (such as Rosemary, Estragon, and Cayenne) with the exception of one, a blue-dressed one by the name of Brownie, who stands by the entrance to one of the Academy of Magic classrooms. She helps Li'l Cactus in the eponymous event. Bud and Lisa know all the students in Geo and will greet them by name.

Trivia

• One character model from Sword of Mana bears a strong resemblance to the Students from Legend of Mana, even referencing a story from his book called "Magical Vacation" where kids at a magic school cast an assortment of spells. The reference can be seen while playing the heroine path at the beginning of the game.
