Pascal

Pascal (パスカル) is a genius technician Asbel meets along the course of his journey. She is one of the main protagonists and playable characters of Tales of Graces.

Personality
Pascal is a clear-headed and brilliant genius technician that Asbel encounters during his journey. She is friendly and cheerful, always being curious and not worrying much about things. She usually tries to raise the spirits of others, making her the mood maker of the group. She has problems reading the atmosphere in situations and just speaks out what comes to mind, sometimes making others surprised at her actions.

Being a person who puts a lot of effort in her research ever since she was a child, she can lose sight of what's going on around her when she is absorbed in her work.

Fighting Style
While Pascal focus on offensive magic, she fights using a modified staff that can shoot projectiles as if it was a rifle, allowing her to keep her distance from enemies to cast spells without risking interruption. However, this may be counterproductive, since her spellcasting style seems to be related to the glyph circles that Annie Barrs from Tales of Rebirth is known for, in which she draws a circle on the ground where she stands, allowing the spell effect to be centered within that area. Some of her spells have been shown to work best while she is within melee distance of the target. A few exceptions to this case are Blood Flamme and Dream Fandom, which can both be casted the Ranged way.

Touching Sophie
Nothing about Pascal's certain role in the story, or her past, has been revealed. However, she shows deep shock when she meets and touches Sophie on her shoulders, eager to do it again. She states that it is because she has never met someone like Sophie, earning confusion from Asbel's side.

Fendel's Valkines
During Richard's pursue, the party stopped in Zavhert, Fendel's capital, where Pascal revealed that she is actually an Amarcian, a smart, ancient race who left ruins all over the world. The experiment conducted in Fendel's valkines cryas are based on her research, which she left unfinished because it's not perfect.

Party
Asbel Lhant - It is unknown how her relationship with Asbel is, but he suspected of Pascal when the party first met her.

Sophie - Although their relationship has not been stated yet, Pascal seems to have an obsession about Sophie, stating that she "never thought she would actually meet one". It is possible that she knows of Sophie's past or why she does not remember it. She quickly grows to care for Sophie, though, and is very protective of her.

Cheria Barnes - Their relationship is not often shown in the game, but Cheria often acts like a mother towards both Pascal and Sophie.

Hubert Ozwell - As their personalities are completely opposite, Hubert mostly views Pascal as a nuisance, though it does not look like Pascal minds, and continues acting like herself in front of him.

Malik Caesars - Their relationship is probably civil, and during Richard and Sophie's fight, he is seen holding onto her while winds heavily blow.

Trivia
