| - Lilka is the party's magic-user and effective healer for the first third of Wild Arms 2. She puts on a largely carefree and humorous attitude, though in truth she's very insecure and feels that her skills cannot measure up to those of her legendary sister, the Eleniak Witch-Girl. Despite this, her very first act in the game is to save Palace Village from the monster Olivier, though she gives all the credit to her sister instead of herself. Because of her sister's death, Lilka takes up the call to join ARMS in her stead, and becomes fast friends with Ashley Winchester, on whom she develops a short-lived crush. Lilka remains a true friend to all the ARMS members and acts as a more cheerful counterpoint to the darker elements of the overall story. She struggles with her own doubts through the early parts of the game, never believing that she can be the equal of skill and power as her sister. Her sister's death has also left her afraid to get close to anyone, though she manages to open up to Ashley and her rival Terry back home. She gains more confident as she travels with her ARMS companions. Though not clarified, or perhaps simply not clear because of the poor translation quality of the English release of the game, it is somewhat suggested that Lilka accidently caused the death of her elder sister. It is known that the Eleniak Witch-Girl died in an experiment with a magical artifact, which could very well be the Millenium Puzzle Lilka is in during her prologue flashback. She is guided through it by the disembodied voice of her sister, which seems to fade away as she tries to reset the gate after Lilka's escape. This would explain a large portion of her insecurity, as well as her hesitance to use the Puzzle to save Ashley. Interestingly enough, Lilika has her own character theme, entitled "The Witch-Girl Appears", on the original soundtrack. The theme itself is bubbly and upbeat, a reflection of Lilika's personality and desire to keep everyone in good spirits despite the various tragedies they face. Art of Wild Arms Bio "Little Sorceress with an Umbrella" A sorceress in training-and in need of it. Not very good at spellcasting, and particularly bad at teleportation.
