Bio

Porom

Age: 5
Class: White Mage
Height: 4'2"
Weight: 87 lbs

About (No Spoilers)

     An apprentice, she is a White Mage in training in the village of Mysidia and she joins Cecil for secretive reasons, which I will list soon enough.  She is very polite, personality-wise and usually has to remind her twin brother to behave in certain situations.

Major Relations

     Porom is the twin sister of Palom and they have relations to the people of Mysidia and both she and Palom want to be like the legendary Sage Tellah when they grow up.  Of course, it would take years of training but during the game, Porom’s main relations are with her twin brother and the people of Mysidia.


Character Developments (Spoilers)

     Porom joins up on Cecil’s quest after she and her twin brother, Palom, were sent by the elder of Mysidia to secretly spy and check up on Cecil on his bid to become a Paladin.  Her job is mainly to keep her brother in order and see if Cecil was true to his word, if he wasn’t Palom and Porom were to eliminate Cecil for his past evil crimes.  Thankfully enough, Cecil did become a Paladin and from there, Porom and Palom then accompany Cecil for further adventures as well as training.  Although, Porom is still a basic White Magic with basic White Magic unlike Rosa but even still, Porom is still a useful character in the early going.

Review

     Porom is a very minor character in the game and both she and Palom provide some comedy relief in the game.  She does have a couple of special skills as she and Palom can use a twin attack, however it’s painfully slow and it’s not always reliable.  But if done properly, it can be very powerful in the early parts of the game.  Overall, I would say Porom is a very mediocre character at best, nothing too much to say about her though.


Weapons/Armor/Accessories

     Porom can pretty much equip the same weapons and armor that Rosa can since both are White Mages.  Porom can equip Staffs and also equip robes and other light armor.  Porom is quite weak defense-wise and her attack is very weak like Rosa but she makes up for it with her White Magic.
