Presea Combatir

Presea Combatir is a character from the Tales of Symphonia game and anime.

Presea is a woodcutter from the small town of Ozette in Tethe'alla.

In the AWA fics, Presea is a student at the AWA Academy.

Appearance
Presea has a petite frame, she has pink hair tied in spiky, twintails and has blue eyes. She wears a dark-gray high-collated, sleeveless coat with a brown belt wrapped around his waist, she has a red brooch around her upper chest, a gray arm-length gloves with armor pads and gray boots with armor pads.

Personality
Presea's true personality is repressed by her special Exsphere until the middle of the story, when Lloyd Irving attaches a Key Crest made by Altessato it. Even afterwards, her emotional response remains somewhat subdued. Her speech is relatively blunt, and she is unfamiliar with the basic etiquette against such directness and can be socially distant. She tends to follow along with the group, only stopping to truly take in the situation when it is extremely important. Her lack of social graces makes her unable to recognize her own awkwardness until someone points it out. Despite this, she has a liking to paws and pokes them, as proven in the skits where she poked Corrine's, later Noishe, and finally in the sequel, Tenebrae, which the latter does not possess paw pads, much to her disappointment.

Although Genis likes Presea, she never really shows if she has any true interest in Genis beyond friendship. Due to the anti-aging effects of her Exsphere, Genis sees Presea as a girl near his own age, and does not completely comprehend the fact that she is actually sixteen years older than him. In Dawn of the New World, however, she seems to have spent enough time with Genis to understand what he says when he is stuttering. Presea's only emotional constant is her loneliness. She constantly counts herself out and assumes she has no one left to be with. This makes her extremely quiet and very reserved, and thus she usually only speaks when addressed. She dwells on the fact that she has lost sixteen years of her life and is loath to speak of her father or sister around others.

Abilities
Despite Presea's appearance, she is a highly effective close-ranged warrior. While able to deal and receive the most damage of all usable characters in Tales of Symphonia, she is also the slowest, causing her to be more vulnerable when it comes to taking hits; however, she makes up for this flaw with her aforementioned high defense. She is also the only usable character besides Lloyd who does not possess any magic-based artes."Main Article: Presea Combatir's Artes"
