Paula Jones

==Summary==
Paula Jones is one of the main protagonists of Mother 2 (localized as EarthBound). She is the first to join Ness, and is the only female supporting protagonist in Mother 2. She uses frying pans as her main weapon, and is also very adept in various PSI skills. She is a resident of Twoson in the country of Eagleland, and the daughter of the owners of the local Polestar Preschool, until she gets kidnapped to be used as a human sacrifice for a blue cult in Peaceful Rest Valley. After she is rescued by Ness, she permanently joins him on his quest to defeat Giygas.
Paula's prayer is ultimately a key part of the game, as she must use it nine times to defeat Giygas in the final battle.

Can fully heal herself from physical wounds from eating or resting), Non-Physical Interaction (Can interact and fight against ghosts and Intangibles, such as Evil Elemental or Fenomeno), Possible Passive Fate Manipulation & Minor Probability Manipulation (As a Chosen One, her destiny is part of an universal system which is the Truth of The Universe, as showcased from Porky Minch empowering Giygas in an attempt to prevent the latter's prophesied defeat against the Chosen Ones, making Giygas strong enough to effortessly overpower the Chosen Ones and giving to him the 99% of chances to win, but still resulting in Giygas being defeated in the end after that Paula called the Player to help her and the other Chosen Ones in surviving against him, although is debatable if this system of fate was actively changing fate to ensure the Chosen Ones' survival and success in their mission to defeat Giygas), Limited Resistance to Time Stop (Should be the same as Jeff's), Resistance to Radiation Manipulation (Can endure the Atomic Reactor Robot’s explosion without suffering any adverse effects from the radiation)

Intelligence: Genius (Has a higher IQ stat than Ness)
Standard Tactics: Paula is the "black mage" character of Mother 2. She has lower physical stats than her teammates, though to compensate, she has access to powerful offensive PSI. She will usually fight using her offensive PSI, though she also has the capability to support herself and her team due to having access to PSI Shield to block enemy PSI attacks, as well as Offense Up to raise the strength of the team and Defense Down to lower the durability of her enemies. While not something she can control, her ability to pray can trigger one of several effects to happen, the most useful of which being a golden light that fully restores the Hp of one ally. If she runs low on Pp, she will either consume an item to recover it or siphon Pp from PSI using enemies.
Weaknesses: The Player isn't forced to listen to her prayers, making these ineffective if they don't want to interfere. Otherwise none notable.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Pray: The user calls out using telepathy to make a random effect happen. In dire situations, this ability can be used to call upon the prayers of others and even those of the Player.
*PK Fire: The user shoots a burst of fire from their fingertips that damages an entire row of enemies.
* PK Freeze: The user swirls a very cold wind around an opponent to inflict major damage. Has a 50% chance to completely solidify the target, preventing them from doing anything.
*PK Thunder The user fires a bolt of lightning that deals damage to random targets. Each successive level fires one additional lightning bolt. It is not resisted by any enemies but it is less accurate when there are less targets present to hit. Instantly destroys psychic shields.
* PSI Magnet: The user absorbs psychic power from a target to add to their own. The Omega level absorbs psychic power from all targets present.
* PSI Shield: The user creates a psychic shield that completely blocks all offensive PSI at the Alpha level and reflects it back at the Beta level. When applied it provides three layers that can each take one attack, though she is able to stack more layers by using it multiple times. The shield is instantly destroyed by lightning based attacks.
*Offense Up: Increases an ally's Offense stat by a small amount. Can be stacked up to three times and ignores the Offense cap of 255. The Omega level can affect the entire team.
*Defense Down: Decreases an enemy's Defense stat by a small amount. Can be stacked up to three times. The Omega level can affect many targets at once.
