Careena

Careena, the One Winged Oracle, is one of the five main heroes and playable characters of Visions of Mana. She is a Dragonfolk from the Vale of Winds of Longren, who befriended a baby Flammy named Ramcoh but lost her left wing in an accident. She dreams of exploring the world and joins the party as the Alm of Wind.

Background

Careena is the Oracle of Winds, tasked to summon the Faerie who can anoint the Alm every four years. She is viewed with disappointment, if not barely concealed contempt, with everyone labelling her as a failure, after an accident in her childhood. She ventured in the Sanctum of Winds atop a mountain and got wounded, only owing her life to Ramcoh's intervention but losing one wing.

Ever since that day, she adopted the female dragon baby as her pet and best friend, while striving to regain her people's and her parents' good graces. With only Ramcoh and her friend Shiriu for company, she yearns to become the Alm of Wind, and cannot help to resent Shiriu, believing him to be destined for this task.

The day Val and Hinna come to Longren, Careena is refusing to perform the ceremony due to the pressure, but she finally relents, and Sylphid anoints her as the Alm of Wind after she helps the party defeat the Mantis Ant.

Personality

Careena and Ramcoh

Careena has a fiery temper, being lively, energic and quite abrasive, speaking her mind bluntly without mincing words and not hesitating to harshly criticize people, even her friends. This stems from all those years of social isolation and her deep desire to prove her worth.

She is caring and really likes her friends, but she has little patience for their antics, though she greatly mellows out the longer she gets to know them. After years of closing, she finally learns to open-up, to the point of dismissing Val's doubts of his worth as the Mana Knight in a handwave in the end.

Powers and Abilities

While Dragonfolks are unable to fly, their wings and tail only being meant to feel the wind, Careena is impresively agile, spry and graceful, wielding naginata spears with extreme proficiency and using a fighting style based on dancing moves.

Careena can use the Elemental Vessels, not only to use the Mana Spirits' powers on land and in battle, but also to adopt a Character Class, each for a distinct element used in their Class Strike. Like every other playable character, she can switch between relics to change her class, element and abilities. Depending on her class, she can also wield khatar daggers or hand fans daggers. Most of her abilities consist in healing spells and buffs, but she can also cast powerful attack spells.

Whenever Careena is in the party, Ramcoh flies by her side. Ramcoh cannot be harmed by ennemies, but she can assist the heroes by ramming the enemies and intercepting attacks.
