## Bio and Info

### Role(s) in the DEKAverse

Arle is yet a bit energetic, but a snarky tomboy who isn't afraid to insult anyone who comes in her way. She even acts like a straight man in some moments around. Despite her sarcasm / sadism also, she has a rough etiquette that she didn’t want to “fix”, and even despises much of stereotypical feminine interests most of the time. Despite all of those, she also loves curry as her most favorite food.

Her current residence is somewhere in an inn of Veneficiis, with the log cabin being her former place; she once lived into that cabin before her reunion with her father and in mourn of her deceased mother.

#### Backstory

Arle was born in a log cabin in the Borealis state of Veneficiis with her 2 parents, Al and Azula, who were professional mages. Specifically, she was living a joyous happy life with her mother and father, not even realizing how dangerous the village might be.

As of her parents' skills, she attended kindergarten to teach, where she not only gets to meet her classmates, but also to teach some spells, most which are elemental. After taking her final exam in the tower, she graduated from kindergarten, and decided to move on new things, even in her later school years. That is, until…

Arle finds her mother Azula, collapsed on the ground before she entered, meaning that she fainted of a fatal curse. Yet Arle attempted to find her father, but he was never there at all… he was missing after encountering a dark necromancer. After reading that note he gave her before he left, she was told to self-care and aid for herself, becoming her own primary caretaker. She even had to wear blue in honor of him.

During her time, grown up later on, Arle finds a baby Carbuncle, a yellow rabbit creature with a red gem on his head. The rabbit was formerly owned by the Creator of Puyo Hell himself, in which the blue mage finds him evil. So Arle had to re-adopt him, with herself being the current owner of the rabbit.

After a set of recent adventures with Kaa-kun, she recently saw a shadowy figure. Could it be?

Arle's father made his return after a long encounter with the evil necromancer, as his daughter was thrilled to see him again. He may be bruised much, but at least he's doing good in one piece. However, Al was given a disease-like curse that would weaken him eventually. Luckily, Arle fully recovered him with her magic to recover her father and lifted the curse.

As of realizing the horrible conditions / causes of the village—where the log cabin was, Arle was told by her father that they had to move somewhere safe. Eventually, during their time to pack their bags, the blue mages had to lock up the log cabin—which was later on destroyed, and give honor and tribute of their wife / mother, since the tombstone of her was there.

Luckily, Arle and her father moved into an inn, in some unknown state of Veneficiis, never but later on realized that the evil necromancer was Satan’s wife, in which Al killed eventually…

### Abilities

Ever since kindergarten, **Arle is a mage at a(n) intermediate / professional level, mainly focusing on elemental magic**, i.e.: Fire, Ice Storm, Thunder, etc. Her signature spell is Bayoen, in which she distracts her opponent(s) with flowers as an illusion in a varied amount of time.

She is also known for the Owanimo spell, in **which she converts 4+ same colored objects into pure energy**. That spell, however, is somewhat known to be mostly effective on Puyo as a result.

Despite her spells, unlike other mages, **she also has a magic power limit**; however, side effects might include **slowly injuring herself**, **getting affected with those causes**, or **optionally run out of magic power** if overused. *For example: Heedon's been used too much, meaning that Arle will overtake into a deep rest.* However, she’ll need a few items in order to restock her magic power much, yet use it wisely and not waste it, even when during battles.

Apart from her magic use, **she’s also known to communicate with creatures she comes across**, especially Kaa-kun. The origin of that ability out of every single one she has is extremely unknown.

### General debuts

Starting with Madou Monogatari in the Madou era, Arle has been the main protagonist in the series, starting with the Episode 2 prototype and later on 1-2-3, where the players take role as her in most of its games. Later on, Madou Monogatari was given a puzzle spinoff series, going by the name of Puyo Puyo, in which Arle made a debut there as appearance of the franchises she's in, taking her role as the protagonist in many of the latter franchise. **However, she was very first introduced in the 7th Disc Station trailer.**

She was originally owned by COMPILE since 1989 in the canon, before the company struggled of bankruptcy due to low rates; the Madou era cast of Puyo Puyo, and even Arle herself, had their last appearance in Madou Monogatari in 2005, before they were absent in 2013, in which it was known as the new generation of that franchise.

Alongside with (almost) all of the official cast of the Madou era, SEGA and Sonic Team are Arle’s current owners since around 1998 and 2001 respectively, with the whole Madou cast itself migrating to Puyo Puyo.

Later on in the SEGA era, she redebuts in Fever 1 (2003), where Amitie and Raffina take role as story protagonists in.

## Appearance / Design

Light-skinned, Arle has golden eyes and long light brown / orange hair.

In some occasions or if she needed extra hands in thought, she optionally usually ties a bag around her waist via blue rope.

### Main attire

She mainly wears blue, not just because she thinks pink is too girly or it's her most favorite color, but it’s in honor of her family.

#### Causal Mage Outfit (in honor of her father)

As some of her hair is tied up in a ponytail with a blue scrunchie, she wears a blue short-sleeved dress over a white sleeveless vest with a blue vertical trim, whilst having a matching pair of boots—blue with white trims. She even dons dark blue fingerless gloves and dark purple high thigh socks, complete with a dark blue cape with a raspberry colored inside and a blue gem button to hold around her neck.

Her armor set consists of a pair of pauldrons, a bevor, and a breastplate that covers her whole chest; they're all colored in a shiny blue shade, decorated with gold trim and a few red gems.

#### Traditional Robe (in honor of her mother)

This outfit is of a dark blue robe with a periwinkle waistband with overlarge sleeves, over a greyish blue hooded capelet with a blue gem.

Additionally, the trim at the end of her sleeves are of a dark grey, whilst her capelet’s is a periwinkle. The footwear from her casual mage outfit is also included in this set.

However, **this robe was one of those given by Azula before she was fatally cursed.**
