Primm is one of the playable characters in Secret of Mana and a recurring character in the Mana series. Hailing from the Kingdom of Pandora, she is 17 years old, 5 ft. 4 in. tall, and weighs 104 lbs.

Background

Primm was born to a wealthy family in Pandora and lived a comfortable childhood. She lost her mother before the events of the game, making her father pushing her to accept an arranged marriage with a nobleman. Elman wanted Primm to be a traditional wife as her mother was to him, but his daughter has grown to prefer Dyluck, the dashing captain of the Pandoran army, instead. Additional dialogue in the HD remake implies that she greatly idolizes Dyluck to the point of an unhealthy obsession and infatuation with him, for instance memorizing and recalling every single detail of his personality and daily schedule.

History

Secret of Mana

“The daughter of a nobleman of the Kingdom of Pandora. Although she lost her mother at a young age, she has otherwise lived a trouble-free life. Her selfish and strong-willed personality helps her in dominering her companions.”
Secret of Mana iOS Official Website
“A young noblewoman from the Kingdom of Pandora. She rebels against her father's plan to arrange her mariage. After saving Randi from an ambush, she accompanies him on his journey to restore the power of Mana. Primm is also on her own quest to save her beloved Dyluck.”
Secret of Mana HD Official Website

Primm can be encountered in two ways by Randi at the beginning of the game. If the boy speaks to Dyluck and/or his soldiers near the Water Palace, she can rescue him while he is kidnapped by the Goblins before heading back to Pandora. If Randi doesn't interact with the troops, then the Goblin Camp scene will not occur and Primm won't be recruitable once he visits Pandora castle.

The young lady joins Randi either way since she heard that her fiance Dyluck has been sent to hunt the Witch in the Haunted Woods, as she is suspected to drain Pandora people of their energy. Primm fears that Dyluck might be in danger going into this mission. Her suspicions are revealed true when the party discover the young captain being teleported to the southern ruins per Thanatos's request.

Trivia

  • It is possible to bypass the Goblin attack event and not meet Primm until the player arrives at Pandora. There, the scene at the castle will play out differently as Primm will push Randi aside and the player can meet Primm in her house.
  • Marle from Chrono Trigger strongly resembles Primm in overall design, as both were actually one in the beginning in the time of the SNES-CD Project. With the failure of the SNES-CD, the originally intended Chrono Trigger needed to be scrapped leaving only the maps and locales which were reused for Secret of Mana. The unused ideas and planned content were reused in Chrono Trigger though apparently in a completely different direction.
  • Primm having pointy ears similar to the inhabitants of Zeal while Marle has round ears may indicate that the character that Marle and Primm were based on was Princess Schala Zeal when she was thrown forward through time like her brother Janus (with the only difference being having been drained of magic till she went blond).
  • Unlike Popoi, Primm can level her magic in towns due to not having to target an enemy, but the learning rate is reduced by half to offset this advantage.
  • She, Randi, and Popoi were also in Heavenstrike Rivals[1] and Spelunker Z.[2]
