Roperi

Roperi is a girl in the Oracle of Ages manga. She lives in the Hidden Village away from the misery created by the Black Tower. She admires Lord Raven for his kindness. Roperi was given a special seed to her by Lord Raven. As the construction of the tower continues, the seed eventually sprouts into a Mystery Seed, Veran's only weakness. She worries about her father, who is a slave building Queen Ambi's Tower.

Biography
Link first meets her when Lord Raven escorts him to a hidden village beyond the Graveyard. She is sitting alone on a stone wall holding a precious sprout given to her by Lord Raven. She trips and her seed pot spills, nearly killing the sprout. As she cries, Link rushes to her side and quickly places the sprout back in the pot. Later, Roperi comes with Link and Raven to the Black Tower. Roperi admires her sprout, claiming that it's higher than the tower. When Raven announces his plans to quell the fighting at the tower, she pleads to go with him make sure that her dad is well. When Raven and Link return to the village later to find her hiding in a cave, Nayru reveals that her "sprout" is a baby Mystery Tree and that it is their only hope to defeat Veran. She is last seen reuniting with her dad at the end of the book.
