Rydia is a young, unexperienced Summoner/Sage from the
Village of Mist. When the village was destroyed, Rydia's mother
was taken along with it leaving her orphaned. She joins Cecil
on his quest once she realizes he is only trying to help her.
Having only one summon beast and low HP at first makes her
seem weak and vulnerable, but once she gets experience she
becomes a great, powerful, and honorable Summoner. Cecil,
Kain, and the others are not the only one with interesting
quests, see what lies in store with this young Summoner from
the Village of Mist...
