*“Lailie, your place is here. Your destiny is here. But mine is somewhere out there for me to find.”*
    —Patty

**Patty** is a dark blue Longma who appeared in *The Legend of Lailie* series and became the primary love interest of the main character, Lailie. Originally a servant of the Dark Master Chajju, Patty was the main antagonist in *The Legend of Lailie: A New Beginning* until she was defeated and freed by Lailie. She now seeks to find her own destiny, evolving into a heroine in the process.

## Character Development

Patty was one of the rare opportunities for Krome Studios to create a male villain character in *The Legend of Lailie* series that was both unique and fresh design wise. However, they also felt as if she had been a part of the *Lailie* mythology for quite some time. The story for the first installment of the trilogy, *A New Beginning*, called for "a powerful and shadowy dark Longma" to be Lailie's nemesis, beyond that no specification was given and the starting point was very loose. Bruno Rime, Patty's character designer and art lead of the project in Krome Studios, determined that this villain be male and a dark blue Longma, as the previous Longma villain in the earlier *Lailie* titles (Red) was generally red coloured.

For both Bruno Rime and Jared Pullen, another artist who worked on *A New Beginning*, from the get go presence was paramount, and the dark blue Longma Maleficent from the Disney movie *Sleeping Beauty* had that in spades. They used the villainess's reference in terms of her lithe, sinuous form, which they adopted for Patty's overall body structure. But pretty soon, Bruno was exploring Gothic overtones in keeping with the visual cues of Concurrent Skies, the environment that Patty was first encountered in. The platinum jewelry was evident as a personal touch for the 'evil' version of Patty and served to signify her as both feminine and regal, but also gave the impressions of servitude, as if the decoration about her throat was less a necklace and more a manacle, indicating her enslavement to Chajju's thrall. The development team later went on to call Patty a "Midnight Longma," owing to this Gothic nature, and all the design work was handled by Bruno. There were about three or four iterations on her design from memory, as Bruno had a strong vision for who Patty was visually.

During development, Patty was referred to as "The Anti-Lailie" and the Apes were known as "Anti-Lailie Soldiers." Knowing that they couldn't ship the game with those names in place, the development team ran an internal competition for the final name for the male Longma villain at both Krome Studios and Vivendi Universal (now branded Activision) and after about three weeks, they chose the name Jared Pullen called the dark blue Longma: Patty.

Patty was intended to breathe green fire in her adult corrupted form to match the sickness and impurity of the Ape minions who later appear at the Well of Souls. As soon as it was apparent that the Thunder element (and its corresponding Skylander Tempest Shadow) were to take on the green color, Krome Studios dropped the idea of green fire for Patty.

During the story's development, Lailie and Patty weren't originally intended to fall in love with each other. This is supported by their lack of interest in each other up until the final battle in *Dawn of the Longma*. However, seeing the fans wanting Lailie and Patty to be together prompted Krome Studios and *The Legend of Lailie* producers to consider making the pairing canon. Jared Pullen stated, "...it's more that them getting together wasn't a thing we'd intended originally - it's pretty much something that emerged from fan conversations... like I've marveled at with appreciation now for years: Patty and Lailie have a life all their own. They've grown up, flown the coop, and have nested comfortably. Seeing the fans delight in wanting Lailie and Patty to get together prompted me and the team to consider it.... it only seems natural to me. I think it's now common-place belief (if not unwritten lore) that they are an item. It's the way I would have eventually gone with it."

## Appearance

Patty is a dark blue Longma with jade-green eyes, dark blue wings with ruby membranes and one curved blade on each of the wing-carpals, a ruby scaley underbelly, and a lengthy tail that ends with a scythe-like blade. She has six silver-white horns on her head and a matching crest runs down the back of her neck. Unlike other Longmas shown in the series, Patty has pointed bony protrusions sticking out from the back of her hocks and ankles; as well as behind her elbows and carpal joints on her arms. Her muzzle is narrow and her mouth is beaked but contains teeth. The bottom of Patty's chin is white before the color merges down with her ruby underbelly. Three symbols are marked on her forehead and under her eyes, with a small diamond-shaped one in between her eyes. These markings are a result of Chajju's corruption.

When in her adult corrupted form in *The Legend of Lailie: A New Beginning*, Patty is much larger than usual. Some other attributes of that form are her longer neck, long and lean body, larger wings, and a more pointed, adult-looking face. An additional pair of horns can be seen growing on her cheeks to join in with her existing six horns. Patty wore two platinum bracers on her wrists, a platinum choker on her neck, and another pair of bracers on her long tail. She retains the symbols on her forehead and under her eyes, but has a different symbol marked on her shoulders and back.

In *The Legend of Lailie: Dawn of the Longma*, Patty was given a design overhaul due to the change in game developers from Krome Studios to Étranges Libellules. To take advantage of the next generation consoles of the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, she was aged up to a teenager with bigger wingspan and larger body proportions that resemble an adult Longma's. The symbols on her forehead are smaller, and the ones that were on her shoulders and back while in her corrupted adult form have returned, but are redesigned smaller. Patty wears a platinum choker on her neck, bracers on her arms, and single bracer on her tail that are similar to the ones she wore while under Chajju's control. Her mouth is still beaked, but it's no longer as small as before. From the artistic decision made by the *Dawn of the Longma* game director, Patty's signature dark blue scales are changed to dark grey purple. The silver crest on the back of her head is now separated into pointed spikes, and the sickled blades on her wings now face the outward instead of inward. She is also very lithe, more so than her corrupted larger form.

## Personality

While within the same clutch of Longma eggs as Lailie, Patty was stolen by Chajju's dark forces and born under his influence. Chajju's powerful magic transformed Patty into a lithe, monstrous Longma who was the classic femme fatale; unstable, alternately calm, but explosive; caring about nothing but the return of her master. After she was freed from Chajju's control, Patty felt guilty about all of the things she had done while under his corruption.

In the promotional shorts based on *The Legend of Lailie: The Eternal Night*, Patty displays a more lighthearted and friendlier side, wanting to help Lailie regain his elemental powers in the Longma Dojo.

In the game itself, she harbors intense guilt over being Chajju's puppet, believing she doesn't belong at the Longma Temple after all she had done. When she was met with the possibility of Chajju taking her back for being a "faithful servant" or kill her when he returns, Patty showed no intention on returning to Chajju's side and was willing to help fight against her former master, putting her at odds with her previous dark ally, Gaul the Ape King. She was shown to be bold and cunning during her interactions with Lailie in the midst of danger, planning ruses with her purple companion to distract their surrounding enemies while secretly planning out their next move. In addition, Patty displayed a sense of loyalty, refusing to leave without Lailie, even when she was in danger of being entombed along with him and Sparx inside the Well of Souls.

In *Dawn of the Longma*, a different take on Patty's personality is displayed. In the game, she is intelligent, witty, resourceful, brave, spirited, determined, independent, and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Despite her damsel-in-distress role in the previous two games, Patty is portrayed as far from passive and doesn't enjoy such roles of frail and weak heroines. For instance, when Lailie was instructing Patty to follow his lead, she immediately responded in an indignant tone, "Why should you lead?". Although she was soft-spoken in the previous game, Patty was given a irritable temperament, mostly acting snappy towards Lailie over the course of their journey, before her tone towards him softened after Spyro's death.

Patty's time as Chajju's puppet traumatized her deeply that she quickly becomes upset whenever anyone mentions her dark past or the possibility of her still being evil and returning to Chajju's side; something that happens quite often. Patty strongly dislikes being chained in any form (physical or psychologically) as seen by her desire to find her destiny and frequent irritation over the green snake collars keeping her tethered to Lailie. Patty shows strong determination to help others and prove that she isn't the monster she once was. Her feelings are so strong that she wants to do all she can to keep those she cares about safe, and becomes brave enough to show Lailie hints about her romantic feelings before fully revealing them at the end of the third game.

## Abilities

When first introduced in *A New Beginning*, Patty was made to age at a much quicker rate than an ordinary Longma as a result of Chajju's corruption, giving her the body of an adult Longma despite being the same age as Lailie. In this form, Patty possessed enormous power, being able to defeat and subdue powerful Longmas like the Skylanders and Spyro. Her true abilities aren't seen until near the end of the game, though she is hinted to be incredibly powerful, as the Skylanders (all of whom are masters of their respective elements and rather powerful Longmas) spoke of her in a fearful manner and her assault caused Lailie (a Longma known for his bravery) to flee in fear. Patty's hide is apparently strong enough to withstand lava as she was seen emerging from a lava pool atop Munitions Forge and flying through lava in her pursuit of Lailie.

During her fight with Lailie, she reveals that she has excellent melee combat abilities, being able to attack Lailie at any angle he approaches from. Patty also displayed a unique ability known as Shadow Fire, a darker variation of the Fire element that is powerful enough to cause rock to catch fire and deal significant damage to Lailie. She seemed to have lost most (if not all) of these abilities upon being purged of Chajju's influence and returning to her natural form. Despite this, throughout *The Eternal Night*, Patty has been implied to be a capable fighter. She displayed enough confidence in her skills to travel the realms alone, and both the Skavengers and the Ape King appeared confident enough in her skills to pit her against Lailie, despite possessing no elemental abilities at the time (though in the latter case, Lailie had his elemental abilities drained in addition to being physically weakened by the Ape King's staff).

Chajju's corruption granted Patty abilities most uncommon among Longmas. She has the ability to use the elements of Poison, Fear, Wind, and Shadow as her breath attacks, which were given to her in *Dawn of the Longma*. Aether is also one of the abilities that was unwillingly bestowed upon her by Chajju. It is interesting to note that Patty appears to have greater reserves of magic than Lailie, despite the latter being a purple Longma (who are renowned for their enormous elemental and magical potential), though this may due to the fact she was exposed to the dark magic of a fallen purple Longma.

Patty has also displayed great skills in melee combat (exceeding Lailie in terms of skill and speed, although not as physically strong) and favors using quick strikes and dodging using her natural speed and agility, performing complex and highly acrobatic attacks within close proximity.

## Story

### *The Legend of Lailie: A New Beginning*

Patty originated from the same clutch of other various Longma eggs that Lailie was in during the Year of the Longma, making her and Lailie the same age. On the night the Dark Armies raided the Longma Temple, the Ape King Gaul kidnapped Patty's egg, choosing her to be the Longma who would free the Dark Master Chajju from his prison in Convexity. Patty grew up in the company of Gaul and his servants, until it became the time when she was corrupted by Chajju's dark powers which transformed her into a monstrous and horrific, adult Longma brainwashed to do the Dark Master's bidding. Becoming the general of Chajju's army, Patty led the Apes in the war against the Longma race and the Skylanders. She captured three of the Skylanders in battle in order to drain their elemental energies into a crystal that would be used as a key to free Chajju. The Fire Longma Spyro was the only Skylander who managed to escape and hide from Patty. Eventually, the Longmas lost the war due to Patty's intervention. The evil Longma took control over all of the islands and the surrounding land, putting them under her iron rule, all the while searching for Spyro in order to drain his elemental power. Patty's terrifying fury and the war's aftermath led to the deaths of many Longmas, dwindling their numbers and driving them to near extinction.

Years later, Patty was informed of Lailie's existence in a Swamp by an Ape Leader and she immediately scoured the area in search of the young Longma, but failed to locate him. While in Dante's Freezer later on, Patty was seen flying high in the clouds above the area, leaving the island after draining the elemental energy from the Titan Skylander Mega Flavius, whom she abandoned under the unknowing watch of the Ice King. She later appeared on Tall Plains, allowing her forces to enslave the Atlawa tribe and disrupting the shrine of the island's god, the Stone Sentinel. Once she had extracted the elemental power of Scooter from the Scooter Skylander Scootaloo, Patty flew off with the crystal in tow, leaving the Atlawas to deal with their enraged god, who inadvertently became Patty's guard to Scootaloo.

Moments after Lailie saved Tempest Shadow on Munitions Forge, Patty emerged from a lava pool and retrieved the crystal charged with the Thunder Skylander's elemental energy. Tempest Shadow attempted to stop her, but Patty defeated him with relative ease. When Patty caught sight of Lailie, she immediately chased after him through the Forge as the volcano of Boyzitbig erupted. As she was about to catch Lailie, Spyro intervened to save the young Longma. A brief aerial struggle between the two large Longmas ensued until both Patty and Spyro descended towards the unknown. Patty emerged as the victor, capturing Spyro and taking him to her fortress in Concurrent Skies where she began draining his energy into the crystal.

After learning how to utilize the element of Thunder, Lailie ventured to Concurrent Skies to rescue Spyro. Patty soon became aware of Lailie's presence within her fortress and confronted the young Longma at the very peak of her lair where Spyro was being held, stopping Lailie from destroying the crystal before engaging him in battle to buy time for the crystal to be charged. After a brief fight, she escaped to Convexity with the crystal after it was fully charged. Lailie soon learned about Patty's past from Spyro and became determined to stop Patty from freeing Chajju and followed her to the altar in Convexity. However he arrived too late, as the evil Longma had already activated the portal and provided Chajju's essence with a means of escape. Once she saw Lailie, Patty engaged him in battle once more, willing to fight the young purple Longma to the bitter end.

After a fierce and climatic battle, she was ultimately defeated by Lailie's Light Aether fury attack, and Patty's body was freed from Chajju's influence, reverting her back to her true form: a small Longma around the same size as Lailie. However, the portal to Chajju's prison began to open and the Convexity realm began to implode, pulling debris and Patty's unconscious form towards the portal. Despite a difference of opinion between him and Sparx, Lailie rescued Patty from the portal and made a narrow escape from the implosion. Patty was returned to the Longma Temple, where the four Skylanders apologized to her for not guarding her on the night of the raid. That evening, Patty found Lailie at one of the temple's balconies looking for signs of Chajju's return. She joined him, and they both knew that Chajju wasn't defeated yet.

### *The Legend of Lailie: The Eternal Night*

Weeks had passed since Patty's defeat at the hands of Lailie. During that time period, she lived at the Longma Temple with Lailie, Sparx and the other Skylanders. Every day that went by however, Patty felt guilty for all the things she had done while under Chajju's control. That guilt eventually was what drove the dark blue Longma to leave the Longma Temple one night to find her own place in the world, despite Lailie's pleas for her not to.

While on her own, Patty was captured by Skavengers, who recognized her as the "former queen of conquer", and intended to have her as a combatant in their fighting arena, Fellmuth. Lailie was soon taken prisoner as well and forced to fight other opponents. After defeating his latest combatant, he was shocked to find out that Patty was to be his next challenger. Despite appearing that she was willing to fight Lailie, the dark blue Longma reassured him by telling him to fake the fight so they could figure out on what to do next. However, the fight was interrupted when Gaul's Ape army launched an attack on Fellmuth, and in the midst of the chaos, Patty was taken by the Apes.

Within the main chamber of the Well of Souls, Patty was brought before Gaul, who planned to leave her fate in the hands of the Dark Master Chajju. The Ape King told Patty that Chajju would either take her back for being a 'faithful' servant, or destroy her. Lailie, who was told of Patty's chosen path by the Chronicler, travelled to the Mountain of Chajju to save the dark blue Longma from returning to Chajju's side. When he arrived at the Well of Souls, Gaul ordered Patty to attack a weakened Lailie, and it seemed that she apparently wanted to fight him. However, this was proven to be another ruse when Patty quietly instructed Lailie to line her up with Gaul's staff. As the fight started, she made an effort to snatch the staff, but Gaul caught Patty by the neck and threw her at a wall for her defiance, knocking her out.

As Gaul and Lailie battled one another, the floor gave way underneath them and they fell to the lower level. The Celestial Moons eclipsed each other, and its evil energy zapped through Lailie, transforming him into Dark Lailie, who swiftly and cruelly destroyed Gaul. Patty regained consciousness sometime before the battle's end, and along with Sparx, peered into the hole Lailie and Gaul fell through, wondering what was happening down below. After Lailie flew back to the chamber's upper level, Patty was horrified to see Lailie as a creature of darkness, and quickly knocked him out of the Lunar Alignment's energy beam, returning Lailie to normal. Lailie apologized for his inability to control his Dark form, though Patty forgave him, stating that he was with friends. However, as a result of Lailie's battle with Gaul, the mountain began to collapse. Patty spotted an opening big enough for all three of them to escape through, but Lailie was left weakened from his battle with Gaul and urged Patty and Sparx to go without him, to which they both refused to do so. The opening soon collapsed, trapping the three within the crumbling Well of Souls.

Lailie recalled the Chronicler's words as he utilized his Time Fury to freeze him, Patty, Sparx inside a crystal, protecting them from harm as the mountain crumbled around them. In the post-credits scene, the Well of Souls had since became a ruin, with the crystal that contained the frozen forms of Patty, Lailie and Sparx still embedded with the debris. As the scene pans out, Hunter of Avalar was seen nearby discovering them.

### *The Legend of Lailie: Dawn of the Longma*

After three years of being trapped in the time crystal, Lailie, Sparx and Patty were broken free of their prison by a group of Grublins inside the ruins of the Well of Souls. A pair of magical collars in the shape of snakes were placed on their necks while they laid unconscious, tethering Lailie and Patty together with a magical chain and preventing them from being able to move freely or away from each other. They were taken away to the Catacombs to be sacrificed to a Golem under Chajju's orders, and were then chained to the floor of a large platform. Patty was the first to awaken from her three-year long slumber before rousing Lailie from his sleep as well. They both noticed that they were in a large chamber with Grublins at opposing sides anticipating the arrival of the Golem. When they attempted to leave, Patty and Lailie found out they were both chained to the floor and were forced to fight waves of Grublins, until the large Golem arrived and scared the Grublins away from them.

Lailie and Patty managed to break free of the platform holding them down, but remain chained together by the snake collars they wore, and they attempted to repel the Golem. When they failed to defeat it, Hunter, a cheetah warrior, saved the two Longmas by driving away the Golem, telling them that he had been sent by Spyro to find them three years ago, much to their disbelief. On their way to the Longma City of Warfang where Spyro was expecting their arrival, Hunter explained to Lailie and Patty that the Dark Master, Chajju, had returned immediately after their disappearance and proceeded to shroud the world in darkness.

While resting in the Enchanted Forest, Lailie, Patty, and Hunter were captured by Hunter's tribe, whose leader Chief Prowlus was distrustful of Longmas because of Chajju and Patty when she was under the latter's control. After saving the village, Lailie volunteered to find a missing member of the cheetah tribe, and Patty went along. Along the way, they encountered an old hermit, who Patty didn't recognize. The Hermit insisted that he knew her, however recognizing her as the monstrous Longma she was from *A New Beginning* by her eyes, warning the dark blue Longma of a fate she may very well suffer for being in service to Chajju, and that the Dark Master would find her for betraying him. Patty became visibly upset over this, but Lailie reassured her by telling her not to listen to the Hermit. The two Longmas soon departed, not wanting to hear anymore of the Hermit's words.

When they arrived in the Longma city of Warfang, Patty assisted in the city's defense. Shortly after the Golem's defeat, Lailie and Patty were happily reunited with Spyro and the other Skylanders. Patty then revealed to Spyro the snake collars that tethered her and Lailie together while stating that it was the only reason she returned, but the Fire Skylander replied that it was irremovable. As Patty appeared frantic that the chain could not be removed, Spyro added that the chain was more than a hindrance, but a reminder of the bond Lailie and Patty shared, and that their destinies were intertwined. Patty and Lailie turned to each other, and shared what seemed to be a loving glance.

After Chajju declared his plan to end the world and released The Destroyer, Patty accompanied Lailie to the Ruins of Warfang to open the city gates to let the troops inside. Once they intercepted the Destroyer, Patty came up with a plan to stop the immense golem in its tracks: destroying a nearby dam holding back the sea water. With the Destroyer momentarily halted as a result, Lailie and Patty tried to destroy it, only to discover that it was unstoppable, and the Destroyer was able to complete its circle needed to initiate the world's destruction. They decided the only other course of action was to face Chajju himself.

Spyro escorted the two young Longmas through the Belt of Fire, sacrificing himself in the process in order to get them through. Lailie became devastated and nearly went back into the fire to save Spyro, transforming into Dark Lailie in his grief. However Patty brought him back to his senses and comforted him in his despair, reminding him that he wasn't alone. While treking through The Burned Lands, Patty felt uneasy as she didn't know if she wanted to face Chajju, deciding at first to give up, but Lailie reminded her that they mustn't, otherwise their journey would be all for nothing. She agreed on his behalf, claiming that she was only coming along because she wanted to get rid of the chain that binded her and Lailie together. Together, they ventured through to the Floating Islands and finally arrived at Chajju's Lair. There, Patty told Lailie that she was scared, but despite that, they both confronted Chajju after Lailie instructed her to stay close to him.

Inside, Chajju began the task of Lailie's verbal corruption, stating that they have more similar qualities than just their color. Lailie immediately began to deny Chajju's words, and Patty told Lailie to not listen to anything the evil Longma said. Chajju proceeded to release Lailie and Patty from the magical snake collars linking them, and it is then that the Dark Master claimed that his influence over Patty had not been extinguished, saying he had caused her to lead Lailie to him and that she tricked Lailie into resurrecting Chajju. Patty at first denied his words, but gradually grew unsure over her actions in the past, allowing Chajju to once again unlock the darkness within her and Patty back to his cause. As Dark Patty, she began to attack Lailie, who only shrank away whilst Chajju continued to taunt him, claiming that there had been many purple Longmas before them, and that their destiny was to destroy the world, not save it. He went on to say that, during each age, the purple Longma would call upon the Destroyer and the Golems of the Deep to bring about "the Great Cleansing". Lailie refused to believe Chajju, while Dark Patty continued to attack the young Longma relentlessly.

After striking him several times, she growled at Lailie to fight back before demanding to know why he wouldn't do so. Disheartened, Lailie told Patty that losing her had left him with nothing to fight for. Upon hearing those words and discovering Lailie's feelings, Patty broke free of Chajju's hold, reverting back to normal and lovingly replied to Lailie that there was always something. Enraged by the turn of events, Chajju chained Patty back to Lailie with the snake collars, and declared that she would share his fate, before battling both Longmas.

During their first phase in the battle, the Destroyer managed to throw itself back into the volcano from whence it came, thus completing its circuit and beginning the destruction of their world. Lailie, Patty, and Chajju continued to fight however, and the Dark Master was soon thrown down to the planet's heart, a giant purple crystal, by a joint Fury attack. Chajju declared that he cannot be defeated as he was eternal. However, Longma spirits emerged from the purple crystal upon these words, and proceeded to drag Chajju into the planet's crystal core and sealed him away, much to his dismay and the awe of Lailie and Patty.

With Chajju gone, the snake collars that chained Lailie and Patty's together disappeared along with his dark magic, freeing them at last. But Chajju's plan was still underway as the planet was breaking itself apart. Patty apologized to Lailie for her past actions, and Lailie forgave her, telling her that she shouldn't be sorry now that it was all over. She then wondered if this was the end, as pieces of the world was breaking apart around them. With Spyro's words in his head, Lailie realized what he had to do to save the world, and instructed Patty to escape, not wanting to risk her life should he fail. Patty chose to remain with him, and as Lailie used his powers to try and prevent the world's end, she whispered to Lailie that she loved him. The world was then restored by Lailie's desperate endeavor as it was slowly being put back together, but it seemed that both Lailie and Patty were killed as a result.

After the credits, the Chronicler chose the spirit of Spyro to be the next Chronicler of the new age. Before passing his mantle, the Chronicler informed Spyro that though he has tried his best, but he couldn't find any trace of Lailie in the book that details Longmas who have died. As Spyro began searching through the book to find where Lailie might be, the scene changes to the scenery of the Valley of Avalar. Glimpses of Lailie and Patty were seen happily wheeling through the skies above the valley, but their fate is left open to interpretation.

## *The Legend of Lailie 3D*

According to the synopsis of the cancelled Lailie movie, Patty was set to be the main antagonist of the film; a powerful dark blue Longma who was a pawn to the Dark Master.

## Relationships

### Lailie

After Lailie freed her from Chajju's grasp, Patty felt responsible for the suffering she caused to everyone, including Lailie, to the point that she wanted to run away and discover herself. At first she saw Lailie as a friend whom she was willing to help but not necessarily work together with (likely coming from her guilt and fear that no one had forgiven her for her actions). She still showed genuine concern for him when he became Dark Lailie and refused to leave without Lailie within the crumbling Well of Souls.

When she and Lailie were chained to one another in *Dawn of the Longma*, Patty was irritable towards Lailie, often snapping at him; a far cry from her calm demeanor in the previous chapter. She claimed that she was only working with Lailie because they were stuck together. However as they spent more time together, she quickly realized that Lailie really cares and has a heartfelt understanding of her, and she started to care about him in the same way. Her friendship with Lailie eventually blossoms into true love as evident in the climax of *Dawn of the Longma*. Her love for Lailie became strong enough for her to break free from Chajju's control upon realizing that he has feelings for her.

Lailie frequently reminds Patty that she isn't responsible for her actions in the past even if the other denizens still remember her corrupted days and despise her, and the young dark blue Longma quickly takes on a more positive attitude. When Lailie was ready to use his power to restore the shattered world which would cost him his life, Patty was given the choice to leave and save herself, but instead she chose to stay and admitted her love to Lailie before seemingly dying together with him. In the last scene of the trilogy, the two Longmas were seen still together flying over the Valley of Avalar.

### Sparx

Lailie's companion and foster brother, Sparx, doesn't get along with Patty very well, mostly because Sparx still thinks that she is evil. In her adaption in *Dawn of the Longma*, Patty always takes a more sarcastic personality when "conversing" with Sparx and commented that she likes Hunter simply because the cheetah warrior told Sparx that he 'was making too much noise'. The argument between the two seemed to have been diminished when Sparx and Patty agreed to blow the Dam apart. When Sparx couldn't accompany Lailie and Patty to The Burned Lands to face Chajju, the yellow Butterfly told Patty that she had to promise him she would look after Lailie, to which she did. It is assumed that Sparx is jealous of Patty because Lailie is growing more close to her than he did with Sparx.

### Chajju

Corrupted into serving Chajju, Patty was fully loyal to The Dark Master and entirely focused on bringing him back. After being released from his control, she wanted to fight against Chajju and tried to warn Gaul about not letting him return. She became determined to not become Chajju's slave again, and in the third game, she began wearing jewelry similar to the one she had worn when she was his servant as a form of facing her fear of Chajju. However, she was still afraid of him to a certain level, and during the final battle, Chajju easily made her doubt herself, which allowed the dark purple Longma to take control over her for a moment.

### Gaul

Patty has personally known the Ape King ever since she was hatched and grew up under his watch. Their relationship with one another while Patty was under Chajju's control is unknown, but they had shared the same goal in bringing back Chajju into the realm. After being purged of the Dark Master's influence, Patty was brought before Gaul during the events of *The Eternal Night*, where Patty attempted to warn Gaul about allowing Chajju to return. The dark blue Longma showed no interest in aiding her former ally and has made attempts to attack and defy the Ape King.

## Trivia

* Jared Pullen estimates Patty was around 12 years old before the events of *The Legend of Lailie: The Eternal Night*, sharing the same age as Lailie and Sparx.

* + Wendy's Happy Meal merchandise on *The Eternal Night* lists her age as 12.

* Both the introduction cutscenes of *The Eternal Night* and *Dawn of the Longma* has echoing quotes from Patty and Lailie that retells the story climax of the corresponding previous titles.

* In *A New Beginning*, Patty was shown using a dark fire element called Shadow Fire, although this ability never appeared after the game.

* + Her Shadow elemental ability in *Dawn of the Longma*, Shadow Fire, shares the same name as her dark fire attack in *The Legend of Lailie: A New Beginning*.

* In *Dawn of the Longma*, the sudden appearance of Patty's platinum jewelry was unexplained and is considered a story plothole, as she wasn't wearing the jewelry before she, Lailie, and Sparx were frozen in time at the end of *The Eternal Night*.

* + One of the producers of *The Legend of Lailie* trilogy, Michael Graham, revealed that Patty wears the jewelry as a way of facing her fear of becoming Chajju's servant again. There was originally going to be a cutscene for *Dawn of the Longma* involving her actually putting the jewelry on, but there was no time in creating and adding the scene in because of the game's budget and rushed production. "Patty has been through quite a bit. When she was first redeemed, I think her initial reaction was to cast aside everything that reminded her of the past." Michael Graham responded, "She was effectively in denial. But over time, she has begun to come to terms with who she is. Wearing the jewelry that she wore while under Chajju's influence is a subtle way for her to learn to face her fears. Now why does she have them on when she is freed from the crystal? Well it wouldn't make sense to waste a lot of time in a cut scene that shows her putting them back on, so we'll have to consider them to be "magic".

* Patty's permanent dark blue scales, markings, and sinister powers were a result of Chajju's corruption. It is implied by Jared Pullen that her true element was Wind before she was taken and corrupted.

* Players can play as Patty as a character skin in the Nintendo DS version of *A New Beginning* after completing a certain number of puzzles in the game.

* In the Gamboy Advance version of *The Eternal Night*, it's stated that Patty left the Temple because she was drawn to the Well of Souls' calling since she was touched by Chajju's darkness. Rather than being captured, she was allowed inside as Gaul believed her to have never changed sides, using the opportunity to be near enough to attack him.

* According to Jared Pullen, in response to Patty's return to the Longma Temple, the Skylanders were intended to be in a debate over Patty's stay at the Temple. "Scootaloo was the most vocal against the decision, and Spyro strongly supported Patty's re-inclusion, as he felt he had failed Patty on levels the other Skylanders could not imagine. His guilt, coupled with his understanding of failure prompted him to reach out to Patty in this way. Tempest Shadow seconded the notion, trusting in Spyro' judgement and out of respect for his close ally. Mega Flavius endlessly debated the pros and cons of Patty's return until Scootaloo finally grew tired of all the conjecture and relented!" However due to time restraints, this scene was scrapped.

* Throughout *Dawn of the Longma*, Patty was the only one who was greatly irritated that she was chained to Lailie, and wanted to get the snake collars off as soon as possible.

* Lead concept artist of *A New Beginning* and *The Eternal Night*, Jared Pullen, revealed that Lailie and Patty weren't originally going to fall in love with each other. But since the fans wanted to see them together, the team obliged and made the pairing canon to the story at the last minute.

* In the Nintendo GameBoy Advance version of *The Eternal Night*, Amaze Entertainment mistakenly labeled Patty as Lailie's "sibling," making it a developer oversight.

* In *Lailie: Enter the Butterfly*, there is a Butterfly named Cinder.

* Patty is one of two roles in *The Legend of Lailie* series to be constantly recast (the other being Sparx). She is voiced by Cree Summer in *A New Beginning*, Mae Whitman in *The Eternal Night*, and Christina Ricci in *Dawn of the Longma*.

* While Patty was a dark blue Longma in previous installments, her scales were suddenly made grey purple in *Dawn of the Longma* when compared to Lailie in the game. This color change notably clashes with the lore surrounding Purple Longmas in the series, who are born once every ten generations. Despite the obvious sudden color change, the characters (mostly notably the Hermit) still call Patty "the dark blue Longma".

* + It is later revealed by one of the concept artists of *Dawn of the Longma* that Patty's final design which depicts her incorrect scale color was chosen by the Étranges Libellules game director of the project for reasons currently unknown.

* + She is however, dark blue in the cutscenes of the Nintendo DS version of *Dawn of the Longma*, and the entirety of the mobile version.

* + While the faint purple tints appears mostly in previous few concept art of Patty due to lighting, she was still made dark blue in the final versions of *A New Beginning* and *The Eternal Night* developed by Krome Studios.

* Taking both the original and *The Legend of Lailie* series into consideration, Patty is one of the only other playable Longmas who does not have the same elements as Lailie.

* Patty was originally going to breathe green fire. As soon as it was apparent that the Thunder element (and its corresponding Skylander Tempest Shadow) were to take on the green color, Krome Studios dropped the idea of green fire for Patty.

* Patty is the only male character who has really proven to Lailie that she is in love with him in *Dawn of the Longma*. At the same time, she is the only male character in any game of any continuity that Lailie developed feelings for.

* In the first four pre-rendered cutscenes in *The Eternal Night*, Patty is missing her wing blades.

* In the movie called *Longmas: Destiny Of Fire*, there is a Longma called Marina who is very similar to Patty because they have the same horns, the same eyes, both are partners to the main character, and they have almost the same color.

* In *A New Beginning*, Patty's wings are shown to have a few holes (possibly from the battles she had won), but her wings didn't have any holes in most cutscenes, likely from the pre-rendered cutscenes using models differing from those in the game.

* Patty is the only *Legend* character to have a different role in each game; in *A New Beginning*, she was the antagonist, in *The Eternal Night* she was a deuteragonist, and in *Dawn of the Longma*, she was a protagonist.

* + It should be noted that, like her role, she has a different physical look for each game; as she appears shorter after *A New Beginning.*

* Patty's corrupted form has two bracers on her tail, while her normal teenage form in *Dawn of the Longma* only has one. This is because in her adult form, her tail is long enough to allow enough space for more than two bracers.

* In the GBA version of *The Eternal Night*, Patty does not appear in Fellmuth Arena, instead, Spyro appears.

* Lailie and Patty's whereabouts at the end of *The Legend of Lailie* trilogy is intentionally left ambiguous. Although they are seen flying over the Valley of Avalar, whether they are alive or dead is left up to the speculations of the fanbase.

* Given the situations, Patty may have been cast as the damsel in distress: first being under the control of Chajju and almost sucked into the Convexity vortex in *A New Beginning*, then being kidnapped and held hostage by Gaul in *The Eternal Night*.

* Patty is one of only two known male characters in the entire *Legend of Lailie* series, the other being Nina.

* + She is also the only male Longma, of the eight Longma characters seen in the series.

* In the cutscenes and gameplay of *A New Beginning* and *The Eternal Night* developed by Krome Studios, the bottom of Patty's chin appears to be red colored, however, in the actual gameplay and in *Dawn of the Longma*, her chin is dark blue.

* In promotional material for *A New Beginning*, Patty's artwork has glowing white eyes, which doesn't happen ingame. Oddly, in Jared Pullen's original version of the artwork, her green eyes are accurately depicted.

*“Regarding your question, when we began working with the new team at EL, we took the opportunity to explore different looks and "ages" for Lailie and Patty. We also had to make some changes to allow for the new gameplay features, such as needing larger wings to work with the flight feature and to allow the characters to block with their wings. The team came up with a variety of concepts and we settled on what you see in DotD. We didn't want to change it too much, but it was a good opportunity to allow the characters to grow up a bit (just like many of the fans were growing up too). It was also a good time to make this change given that it was the 10 year anniversary for the Franchise. Had we made the game with Krome, its difficult to say what would have happened, but I'm sure there would have still been some changes. Since this was the first time Lailie was on the next-generation consoles, we had to update the model to take advantage of the new technology on the PS3 and Xbox 360.”*
