Magnolia is a major ally character in Legend of Mana and a recurring character in the Mana series.
Background[edit]
620 years of age, Magnolia is a doll with a Fire Stone core, fashioned by Anuella the Witch thousands of years prior to the proceedings of Legend of Mana. She resides in the Junkyard, where she possesses neither hope nor will. Magnolia was one of many dolls that were brought to life in order to participate in the holy wars of ages past. Initially a nameless entity when she was first created, she was entrusted into the hands of the daughter of a charcoal-maker, a girl named Magnolia, by Selva. The red stones that were used for the doll's eyes turned out to be the Eyes of Flame made by Anise, a fact that saw them combusting and burning the hut of the charcoal-maker to the ground. The charcoal-maker's daughter perished in the fire, but the doll did not; it is at this point that the doll took on the name of "Magnolia", thereafter staying with the Lilipeas briefly before leaving with a mage. Little did she know that this mage intended on stealing the Eyes of Flame in her eyes, for they were said to hold more Mana energy than enchanted instruments do. The plot was foiled by Anuella when she gave life to a rocky hill to impede the progress of the mage's caravan. A war broke out after Anuella requested the aid of the rocky hill, and Magnolia's fate after this point is unknown.

The Infernal Doll[edit]
Magnolia is seen listening with the other dolls at the entrance to the Junkyard. She tells them to stop their whining and that those who die with desire in their hearts are doom to wander the earth forever. The accuses the protagonist of being an artificer and they shouldn't be playing with the dolls's powers. She ventures deeper into the junkyard after telling the main character she'll get her revenge. After following the directions provided by the toys, the hero finds Magnolia enchanting some dolls to attack them. After defeating the nuisance, the main character meets with Louie, an old magical creature and caretaker of the junkyard. He thanks the hero, stating that the toys believe that to die is to be saved.
General information[edit]
Physical appearance[edit]
Personality[edit]
Although a character who makes a very brief appearance during the course of the game, Magnolia still leaves quite a lasting impression nevertheless; given the unfavourable nature of her history with the human race, it comes as no surprise that she is a character who is filled with an immensity of spiteful, bitter vindictiveness. The speech register that she employs in the few lines that she explicates clearly evidences this, in which her words are ones that are of a hard, grating quality, reflecting the sheer repugnance and antipathy that she has long nursed towards the beings responsible for not just her, but also the toys', destitution in the Junkyard.
