Chef Manaphy was an internationally renowned chef who was first introduced during Cosmic Collisions. She served both the role of a liege to Arceus and the Royal Palace, but her primary duty was to cook for the palace. One of the Holy Children and older sister to Phione, she was often tasked with roles of responsibility. She was the staff member to contact BBB to begin her investigation of the crimes committed during Dinner Diplomacy, a major conflict point during the first war, a meal Manaphy was tasked with preparing that went awry. Unfortunately, her mistakes saw her exiled from the Royal Palace. She would use this opportunity to start a Sushi Restaurant in Kalos during Catastrophic Convergence, where she would often turn a blind eye to the potentially illicit activities of her employees, the Smeargle Brothers. During Campground Calamity, she took on employment at a local island soda shop, called Malasoda, under the direction of BBB. She provided undercover assistance in the mission to save Alola while also keeping all the campers well-fed. After the events of Contorted Chronicles, where many heroes perished, many of which were her dear friends, she returned to the Royal Palace to cook for her family hoping to see no more further loss.

During Cosmic Collisions, she was introduced as the head chef and liege to the Royal Palace and its staff. She, and her pesky sibling, Phione played a mostly minor role during the conflict until the events of Dinner Diplomacy. At what was supposed to be a diplomatic dinner, a grand robbery took place within the walls of the palace perpetuated by multiple local criminal gangs. The items stolen included the Adamant Orb, the Griseous Orb, the Lustrous Orb, the Lunar Wing, the Pixie Plate, and the Iron Plate. A world-renowned investigator, BBB, was brought in by Manaphy to begin an investigation into these thefts to avoid blame for the events falling at her feet. BBB, with the help of war participants, were able to solve which criminal gangs stole what item, when, and how they managed to do it, but unfortunately, Arceus still became aware of this, and **Manaphy** was exiled from the Royal Palace as a result.

After her exile from the Royal Palace, Manaphy used the opportunity to set up a slightly sketchy restaurant called Mana-Sushi at the commencement of Catastrophic Convergence. While this restaurant maintained the high level of quality in its cuisine often ascribed to Manaphy, there was a notable criminal air to the establishment. The events would later realize that Manaphy's three chefs, the Smeargle Brothers, were running a counterfeiting ring in the alleyway behind the restaurant. The Smeargles Brothers, being master counterfeiters, had secured a contract to provide the four warring factions with a currency to pay their troops. Manaphy being out on her own and having a business to maintain reluctantly took a cut of these criminal operations and provided a safe harbor for them to continue their counterfeiting within the backroom of the kitchen.

After Hoopa escaped its confinement from the Eternal Prison Bottle, Manaphy saw an opportunity for redemption. After obtaining blueprints from the warring factions for a new secure confinement bottle, Manaphy tasked her Smeargle employees with the creation of the confinement devices. Sealing the four prototypes securing in the Arceus Enchanted Lockbox Manaphy, a gift given to Manaphy by a Holiday Host before she left the court, Manaphy began her ascent to the Hall of Origins. It was here that Manaphy sought Arceus's magical blessing to power these devices.

    Although upon Manaphy's descent from the Hall of Origins, she was tripped by her foolhardy sibling Phione. While her fall managed to damage three of the four devices, the fourth designed by the Aides of Aether, remained functional. Utilizing this new Aether Eternal Prison Bottle, Manaphy charged into war against Hoopa and bravely sealed its colossal rage within. It for was these acts of bravery that Manaphy's exile from the Hall of Origins was revoked.

During the events of Campground Calamity Manaphy was asked by Director Bidoof to return to join at undercover taskforce aimed at the preservation and protection of the Alolan Islands. Manaphy decided to open up a soda and ice cream shop branded the Malasoda Ice Cream Shoppe. The Malasoda Shoppe would provide not only tasty treats but also merit badges to campers who completed certain tasks around the islands.

While Manaphy provided these auxilary roles around the campground, she largely stayed out of the conflict between the camp troops and Necrozma.

Manaphy joined BBB and Xan on an emergency trip to Galar after an army began attacking Hammerlocke. Utilizing time magic taught to him by Celebi, Xan brought the party 1000 years in the past. Upon arrival, they discovered that an identical conflict was happening, with the Fellowship of Fae being blamed for an attack on Dragon, Normal, and Fighting kingdoms. With newly obtained knowledge from the past, Manaphy, BBB and Xan returned to the present and sought out Xerneas in Ballonlea. Manaphy was on the fight lines of the assault on Grey Grimmsnarl and his army, and was instrumental in the battle against Calais Calyrex the mastermind behind the near-identical conflicts throughout history. Manaphy was instrumental in both the prosecution of Calais, but also was present at her dear friend Bidoof's funeral.

After seeing the tragic loss of so many of her close friends, Manaphy returned to the Hall of Origins to be with Arceus and the other Holy Children. She was most recently seen preparing her signature dish Seafood Pasta for the guests of the palace.
