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.
History
Trials of Mana
- “A SPIRITUAL SEED OF THE TREE OF MANA -- Faerie ventures out of the sanctuary to warn Wendel's Priest of Light of the fading power of the Mana Tree. However, she collapses on the way, too weak to complete her journey alone. The hero finds her and they join forces.”
- —Square Enix Official Website
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.
Faerie remains with the party through the trip to the Sanctuary of Mana, often injecting witty commentary or otherwise providing timely hints toward the party's objectives. It is she, rather than the heroes, who makes the case for their mission to key figures around the world. This role is given greater importance in the HD remake, where she is voiced and virtually all of her interaction is scripted into cutscenes.
Once the heroes manage to open a gate to the Mana Sanctuary, the three main villains immediately take the opportunity to go after the Mana Sword. Their forces eliminate each other, however, seemingly leaving the heroes free to obtain the sword for themselves. Once the main protagonist obtains the sword, however, they discover that the Faerie has been abducted by one of the villains; which villain abducts the Faerie depends on who the main protagonist is. Regardless of identity, the villain retreats to their stronghold and demands the Mana Sword in exchange for the Faerie. Having no choice but to comply, the heroes hand over the sword and watch helplessly as the villain releases the eight Benevodons.
Circle of Mana
Faerie makes a cameo appearance alongside many other characters from the Mana series.
Echoes of Mana
Faerie makes several cameo appearances in Chapter 4, itself taking place largely in the Trials of Mana world. She is last seen warning the twins that they have not yet found their Mana Sword as the Echo is restored to its correct order.
General information
Physical appearance
The Faerie has long blonde hair, frosted pink at the tips, and blue eyes. She is shown wearing a short blue dress and barefoot. Her hair is in a single ponytail with bluish flower ornaments and her ankles have two golden anklets.
Personality
As an emissary of the Mana Goddess, Faerie is given the authority to manipulate mana power in the execution of her role. She primarily acts as a guide for her host, providing them her knowledge of the world observed from the Sanctuary. Faerie also acts as ambassador on behalf of her host, and so communicates with the Mana Spirits and other influential figures to muster support for the greater mission of preserving mana power. Acting as a sort of ninth Mana Spirit, Faerie can use various other powers to aid her host and their companions, such as teleportation and the removal of magical barriers.
