Popoi is a sprite hailing from [[Sprite Village]] in the [[Upper Land|Upperland]]. There, all the sprites would partake in several activities, like herb picking, fruit harvesting, fishing, and so on. One fateful day, a powerful storm made them fall into a strong current, leading to them being separated from their kinfolk. They ended up being washed up all the way to [[Gaia's Navel]], where the [[Dwarf Elder]] found them. The incident caused them to lose their memory. Smelling an opportunity, the Elder decided to adopt the little sprite and make them a star in a shoddy sideshow for gullible tourists.

Line 42: Line 42:
Popoi makes their debut in Dwarf Village, where they perform in a seedy show operated by the Dwarf Elder. A tiny sprite appears on stage after the Rabiteman, the Elder claiming that they have a 50,000 [[Lucre|GP]] debt to pay off. [[Randi]] is coerced into giving some money. The donation is enough to make the sprite grow to their original size as the show comes to an end. Backstage, the Popoi and the Elder are revealed to be scheming con artists, both of them giving the money back to the boy after being caught in the act. The whole village is suddenly attacked by a [[Tropicallo|mutated plant]], who end up revealing the entrance to the Underground Palace. However, the place is still blocked by a sea of lava cast by Elinee the Witch. Popoi the sprite is revealed to be amnesiac by the shock of the storm that led them to Dwarf Village, and decides to join the boy in his errand in hopes of returning to his homeland. During that time, Watts has finished forging an axe for Randi and decides to travel the world for himself.

Later on, the party returns with ice magic to solidify the pool of lava blocking the entrance to the Underground Palace and befriend [[Gnome]], the earth [[Mana Spirit|elemental]], the sprite regains some of their memory by focusing their mind on the palace's [[Mana Seed]]. Popoi recalls hailing from the [[Upperland]], and the party decides to head to the aformentioned place by [[Cannon Travel]]. The landing impact in the [[Forest of Seasons]] makes the sprite amnesiac again, the heroes needing to ask the local [[Moogles]] for directions. Translating the foreign tongue, Popoi learns that their neighboring [[Moogle Village|village]] has been invaded by [[Molebear|Pebblers]]. The heroes decide to help the fluffy creatures by defeating the troublemakers. The townsfolk now being able to regain their homeland give a hint to the sprite to open the path to their village. After following the Moogles' advice and circling the seasons in a certain order, the way to Sprite Village is now open. There, Popoi discovers that the whole village is in a shamble and is currently being attacked by [[Spring Beak]]. After defeating the giant bird, the party finds Popoi's [[Grandpa]] inside the [[Wind Palace]]. The poor old sprite has been blinded by the recent imperial attack to break the Mana Seed's seal and is the sole survivor in the village. The old man tells Popoi that sprites are tied to Mana Power and if the humans succeed in breaking all the seals, the fabled [[Mana Beast (Secret of Mana)|Mana Beast]] might be released again, causing Mana to disappear. If their very source of power vanishes, the sprite will cease to exist in this world. Grandpa urges the sprite to prevent that incident to happen. He then entrusts the wind elemental [[Jinn|Sylphid]] to assist the party in his place and advise them to venture north to meet with the [[Flammie|White Dragon]] in they want to protect Mana.

Popoi's role in the story only comes relevant at the very end of the game, when the party is about the battle with the Mana Beast atop the revived [[Mana Fortress]]. Randi is reluctant to engage with the mighty dragon, as this would entail the sprite to disappear. Popoi tries to reason with him, saying that they won't really disappear since their world is separate from them. The boy must think about his own world perishing through the relentless assault of the Mana Beast. This is enough to convince the hero, who, with the help of Primm and Popoi, eventually defeat the very threat plaguing their land. By doing so, the sprite vanishes before their eyes, only their spirit to be found gazing at the starring sky in the epilogue scene.
