[edit] Biography
[edit] General

Farah is a hardheaded farm girl from the same village as Reid, Rasheans, and they are almost always together as childhood friends. Throughout the game, a light romantic relationship is implied between Reid and Farah; however, nothing substantial develops. Farah uses her martial arts prowess to inflict hand-to-hand damage on her enemies through punches and kicks and can link many of her special attacks into each other, and she also has a narrow selection of healing chi. Farah's weapons are knuckles that augment the strength of her physical blows, and she plays more of a supporting role than Reid both in and out of battle.
[edit] Childhood
As a child, Farah was bossy, and quite the daredevil. She one day got hold of the key that sealed Regulus Knoll, an area that was deemed off limits by the village elder. She still, however, dared both Reid and Keele to explore the place, which lead to catastrophic consequences. A calamity was then released and razed Rasheans, killing countless of people, including both Reid and Farah's parents. Devastated by the incident, this would be a crucial event that will then shape Farah's eagerness and enthusiasm to help anyone in need, even if that meant putting her own life on the line. The calamity, later on, is discovered to be the god Nereid itself, and that Farah's dare had absolutely nothing to do with its release. The seal that kept it in place was simply no longer strong enough, and it was simply a coincidence for it to have freed itself right after the children visited the knoll.

[edit] Trivia
- The word Farah comes from the arabic language and means joy. It's a common name for people in the middle east.
- Farah is one of the 4 characters from the whole Tales of-series who uses a martial arts fighting style. The other three characters are Regal Bryant, Senel Coolidge, Sync the Tempest and Hermana Larmo.
- Farah may also use the same style of martial arts as Senel Coolidge, given that they share many common moves. The most obvious difference between their styles is that while Farah executes a move with her fists, Senel executes the same move with his kicks. Whether this is due to a difference in preference, lineage or simply the limitations of the SD animation style of Tales of Eternia is not known.
