Girl

The **Girl** is a character in Monster Saga. She was fleeing Ovest when she met the Player.

## Role

The Girl, while having no job in the town of Ovest, holds the place of the guide during the events of Monster Saga. The only known connection she has is to the Player, her newfound friend that fell from another planet.

She is also one of the only characters with personality, as she is extremely sweet and caring to the Player when they first meet. The Girl also seems to know almost all that there is to know about Monster battling, yet doesn't have a party of her own.

## History

The Girl, when first seen, is on the outskirts of Ovest, her hometown, due to a recent Monster rampage that broke out throughout the small village. While traveling, she began to hear noises; the crashing of footsteps and the rustling of the forest, and called out to them. Almost in reply, the Player crashed into her while running from a Muffin and Monjo that was chasing him in admiration. The Player, dazed, questions her for where he was on Earth. In response, she tells that this is not the planet of Earth, but rather of Battalia.

Seeing the opportunity to raise this human into a force strong enough to overcome the Monster rampage AND an even greater evil, the Girl tutors the Player during the beginning of the game, before following him in his journey to the King. She isn't heard from again, and only appears in cameos, like in the background of the Endgame Cutscene.
