Rydia -- Birthplace: Mist -- Age: 7 -- Class: Summoner -- Rydia was born a summoner of pure blood in Mist village. Her birth was celebrated by the entire village, and she was raised with care by everyone. Every summoner has a monster that they can relate with, and when that monster dies, then they too will die. This is how Rydia lost her mother, and ended up joining Cecil on his journey. Cecil felt a great deal of remorse for what had happened to Rydia's mother, and so he took her in and promised to protect her. Rydia, although young, is very mature for her age. Her honest, cheerful and couragous personality lifts the party's spirits and helps them through tough times. She has the magical ability to summon beasts, and can also cast black and white magic spells. Young girls make the best summoners, because the entities that the summoners connect with are more trusting of those who are pure of heart. Rydia's innocence and purity helps boost her summoning power alot. Along with her small knowledge in white and black magic, she may not pack much of a punch in attack power, but she could very well be the deciding factor in battle. Skill Description Summon Calling great beasts and beautiful deities to aid in battle, little Rydia can sure pack a punch when it comes down to using special abilities! Summoning is easily one of the most helpful abilities in the game. White Rydia is pretty much the ultimate magic user in FFIV, because she can use all 3 different classes of magic. Although her arsenal in white isn't complete, it does come in real handy, especially in the early stages of the game. Black To complete the magic user's round, Rydia also has the ability to cast black magic spells. Her black magic abilities are far more advanced than that of her white, making this ability more useful to her. Although, with the summons to use as attacks, her black magic may not be used all too often. « Back
