Reala

Reala (リアラ) is the heroine of Tales of Destiny 2. She is a girl who suddenly appeared from within a gigantic lens found in the Laguna Ruins. Reala has an ethereal quality about her, and she is surrounded by mystery. Her presence is the catalyst for Kyle's adventure, as he chases after Reala in order to become the hero that she is searching for.

Personality
Reala's personality is generally cheerful and inquisitive, but she also displays an overdeveloped sense of responsibility at times and tends to strike out on her own, trying take matters into her own hands. She respects Kyle´s enthusiasm through his adventure since she lacks that herself, as she points that she can´t see the future in the optimistic way Kyle does. During the progress of the game it is shown that she is really pessimistic about her own powers and about her goals, though she hides it in a cheerful mood. She quickly develops a crush on Kyle, and even moreso after he becomes her Hero, and it is ultimately their love which allows them to have the resolution to remove Fortuna from their world and stop her influence.

Fighting Style
Reala is primarily an elemental spellcaster who has access to all spells and extensions associated with the standard elements of Water, Fire, Wind, and Earth. Similar to Harold Berselius, Reala also has access to a few physical attacks that allow her to deal melee damage and drain enemy HP to share with her allies. While both of them are dedicated mages with very little physical ability, Reala stands alone as the only character to obtain a resurrective spell, Raise Dead. Also, she is the only character to obtain the Action Enchant "SP Share", which is vital for advanced combos and forcing mystic arte activations without the need for Spirit Blaster Mode. Another hidden ability, only available to her, allows her to to cheer up nearby party members by holding the DOWN button, recovering a small amount of their SP.

Creation and Mission
The allmighty goddess Fortuna, who is the most powerful deity in Destiny universe, deemed humanity to be weak and needed a means of salvation, to reach ultimate happiness. Thus she created 2 egos which would reflect her powers and abilities, they would have the mission to save the world, in their own way. Elraine sought to remove human suffering by sheltering humankind from all bad things and removing emotions from their lives. On the other hand, Reala originally wanted a Hero, someone who would be able to save mankind and ultimately lead them to happiness, though it ended up in a different way than she expected it to.

Finding the true Hero
As soon as she woke up she met Kyle and Loni Dunamis. He deemed to be the hero that she was looking for, though she told him, quite harshly, that he wasn´t. She embarked on a quest to find the real Hero out there, so she travelled around the world finding the former heroes of the Belcrant incident. At first she wanted to speak to Rutee, but she was scared off by her rudeness. So she went to the church of Atamoni to find Philia, where she was ambushed by Barbatos who wanted to ruin Reala´s plan by the orders of Elraine. Kyle, Loni and Judas help Philia out, and then she asks Reala to go find Garr with those companions, as Philia herself didn´t have the power to be the Hero. Kyle, determined to be THAT Hero, agreed and followed Reala.

The four took a ship to Phandaria, but a monster attacked, so the ship started sinking. Reala used her powers to bring the ship to safety, to Lienea. After resting the headed towards Phandaria. While in Garr´s castle, Reala realized that he wasn´t the Hero she was looking for, either. And after that Judas and Kyle argued, as they could only get a meeting with Kyle since he was Stahn´s son, and Judas tells Kyle he will never be the Hero like that. Kyle runs away and Reala follows him. She proposes to have a small date, and they talk about their goals. Kyle talks about his positive outlooks, while Reala simply can´t see anything but a pessimist future. Though they had to stop their conversation as Elraine attacked Garr´s castle, since he had such a big collection of Lens, and he was one of the Heroes that had to be eliminated. With Kyle and the others they prevent Garr´s death, but Elraine sends them all to 10 years in the future.

Twisted Future
After being sent to the future, Kyle and Reala are separated from the others. And so they enter an altered world. Seeing the new Church of Atamoni, regarding humans with generic names and granting Lens based wishes, Kyle gets angry and says this is way too weird. A person inside the church, named Nanaly, deemed to know Loni and Judas´ whereabouts. So the three of them embarked to Calvalesse, Hope Town. While on the trip Nanaly feels that Reala is burdering herself with a big responsibility, and that was due to her feeling guilty for driving everyone outside their time. While in Hope Town, and after meeting everyone, they plan to go to Fortuna´s church ahead of Trash Mountain to use her power to return to their times. Reala seemed absent minded though, and she was thinking very deeply. Once they reach Fortuna´s chamber, Reala asks for her power to return to Kyle´s present timeline. Kyle points out that there is nothing to worry about as he will become the Hero. Reala gets furious at him and tells him that he will never be the Hero she wants, and that the pendant never acknowledged him as one.

Conflicted emotions
Due to her furious emotions, Reala thought rashly and brought everyone, including Nanaly, to the present timeline. Nanaly denied to return to her time and rather she wanted to help out a little more. Kyle is very serious and Reala feels guilty for what she said without thinking. As a result after resting in Garr´s castle she loses all hope and heads straight to Elraine herself. Afterall she didn´t find the hero she wanted after so long. Kyle and the others came to rescue her, to her surprise, and before Elraine could banish Reala, they stopped her. After that Kyle hugged Reala and was very worried about her, but their conversation was interrupted by Reala´s pendant which was shining, indicating Kyle has finally become the Hero she was looking for. Our heroes attack Elraine´s draconis, but it ends up in a failure as there was some sort of self destruction device, which dragged them into a parallel universe...

Parallel Timeline
In this parallel timeline our heroes find themselves in a world where Dycorft won the War of Heaven and Earth, and thanks to Elraine everyone had enough Lenses to live peaceful, sheltered lives. The hero of the war was Barbatos, along with Elraine. Kyle didn´t like this situation, he felt it was wrong people lived such sheltered lives, and he didn´t like a world where his parents didn´t even mean to exist, moreover it was wrong to meddle with the time as Elraine did, so they headed towards Elraine to stop her plans. Once they reached her, she revealed that Judas was actually Leon Magnus, the traitor of the heroes in the Belcrant incident. Due to that stunt, she was able to put everyone but Reala to sleep. Elraine then reveals that she puts people in their "ideal worlds" in which through their happiness and prayers to Fortuna, they may be "ideally happy". Reala thinks otherwise and believes that that happiness is artificial, so she rescues everyone from their illusion worlds and head towards the past to fix the time.

Taking down Barbatos
Our heroes meet Harold in the War of Heaven and Earth´s time. They assist her into winning the War, as it was meant to and fix the timeline. After Barbatos was defeated, he retreated to the Destiny 1 timeline, and said he would fight everyone behold the Eye of God. Reala uses the lens from the swordians to head over that timeline, and they successfully defeat Barbatos, leading into their present timeline being completely fixed.... or was it?

Egg of God
After some strange events during the present timeline, Harold confirms that Elraine is trying to erase the timeline as it is, again. The only place she could be hidden was Nanaly´s twisted future, in which Elraine was hidden beneath the chamber of fortuna. Before heading to that timeline, Reala makes Kyle promise to defeat Elraine no matter what happens. Kyle, without doubt agrees. After catching up with Elraine, she mentions how this timeline is useless and she needs to start from 0. She would use the power of Fortuna to drive the Meteor in which Lenses were first found (which lead into technological innovation) into the present timeline, and crushing everyone. She later reveals that Reala is just a creation of Fortuna, and if Kyle was so eager to protect his timeline, he had to erase not only Fortuna, but Reala altogether, as they are tied together.

After some thinking, Kyle comes into the conclusion that he has to do his best and that somehow Reala will come back as they are bounded by something stronger. Reala faces Elraine, and later Fortuna, Reala realizes that humans need to suffer in order to also learn happiness. She comes to the conclusion they don't need a God to save them, and believes in this so strongly that she is willing to die for it. Reala tells Fortuna that she gained this understanding of the world through meeting Kyle.

Death and Rebirth
In order to free the world from the hold of the Goddess, Kyle destroyed the lens that is the goddess' life, which in turn destroys Reala. Due to Fortuna´s energy being removed, her involvement with the times starts to fix itself. And as so, everyone forgets what happened, just as if nothing ever happened. In the fixed timeline, a skit can be activated in which Loni asks Kyle if his new journey involved finding a girl, and Kyle remarks that he feels like his heart already belongs to someone, but he doesn't know who. Loni and Kyle then go to the Laguna pass, where Kyle feels like a voice is calling out to him, and Loni waits while he goes to look. Returning to the place where he first met Reala, Reala appears again obviously recognizing Kyle. Kyle says her name, which shows that he remembers her as well. Then Reala jumps into Kyle´s arms, marking the end of the game
