Background Story

4★	A princess who appears in tales of Gaia, a world foreign to this one. The most beautiful princess in Alexandria's history, her name was known far and wide. She felt sympathy and concern for the people of the kingdom, and was greatly pained by her mother Queen Brahne's unbending resolve in invading other countries. On her sixteenth birthday, in an attempt to get advice about her mother from her uncle Cid, regent of Lindblum, she asked Zidane, a thief who had broken in the castle, to kidnap her.
5★	The princess of Alexandria who appears in tales of Gaia, a world foreign to this one. Dismayed by her mother Queen Brahne's resolution to invade other countries, she asked Zidane to kidnap her so that she could make her way to Cid, regent of Lindblum. Though her concern for her mother and her country was genuine, having been raised in a castle she knew little of the world, leading her to come across as somewhat self-important during her first journey. However, after hiding away under the false name Dagger, she came to know more of the world, growing more mature in the process.
6★	The princess of Alexandria who appears in tales of Gaia, a world foreign to this one. Garnet escaped with Zidane in hopes of finding a way to stop her mother, Queen Brahne, from attacking other countries. She took the alias of "Dagger," and became involved in the chaos enveloping the world. Following her mother's death and the ruin of the kingdom she had been entrusted, she eventually learns the truth surrounding her origins and confronts her demons. Having finally overcome her suffering from a once broken heart, she became worthy of the title of queen.

Fusion

4★	It was not for my own sake that I asked Zidane to kidnap me. What can I do to protect my homeland?
5★	I will no longer blame my hardships on anyone or anything else. I'll face my problems and overcome them!
6★	I was able to see so much of the world and meet so many people. I think I finally know what's important.

Awakening

5★	I-I'll do my best... Is this enough? I guess I'm still getting used to this.
6★	Whatever hardships may come, I will always be princess of Alexandria. I will become strong enough to protect my country and my people!

Summon

4★	Enough of this princess business; I want to find out who I really am. However...
5★	Where are we? I thought I heard a familiar song just a moment ago...
6★	We are not alone. If you have friends who believe in you, you can fight no matter how tough it gets.

Trust Mastery

We should help those who help us. It took me a long time to understand that. Now, it is time for me to help you.
