Ciela

Ciela is Link's Fairy companion in.

Biography
Ciela first meets Link when he lands on Mercay Island, where she explains him that she lost her memory. She then takes him to her grandpa, Oshus. Eventually, she and Link begin to travel together along with Linebeck, whom she does not like much and often fights with. Prior to the game's beginning, Ciela was attacked by Bellum, which caused her to lose her power and memories and wash up on Mercay Island's beach. After completing the Temple of Courage in Molida Island, another Fairy much like Ciela appears. Link goes to Oshus, who then uses his staff to fuse the new Fairy and Ciela together. This makes her memories come back, revealing that she is the Spirit of Time and Courage.

In the final scene before the credits, Ciela says her goodbyes to Link and Linebeck. She eventually gains respect for Linebeck as he does for her.

Abilities
By collecting 10 Courage Gems and offering them at Spirit Island, Ciela can allow Link to perform a Sword Beam. Collecting 20 gems doubles the width of the beam. In the final boss fights, Ciela provides Link with Phantom Spheres, allowing him to temporarily freeze time.

Phantom Hourglass Manga
In the, Ciela's lost memories take the form of a little girl. Link and Linebeck first encounter her on the Isle of Gust. Link comments that she seems like an empty shell and Linebeck warns him that she might be a threat to them. However, the girl is soon attacked by Crayk and Link departs to Molida Island to rescue her. Once Link defeats Crayk, the girl responds by thanking them. Link expects to see the Spirit of Courage, but Oshus appears and tells Link that she is already there. Link turns to the girl and asks if it is her, but Oshus tells him that she is not the Spirit. He then tells Ciela that he is sorry that he hid the truth for so long and Ciela's memory rejoins with her, creating the Spirit of Courage.

Nomenclature
