Norma Beatty is a playable character from Tales of Legendia.

[edit] Story

Norma is a treasure hunter and practitioner of crystal eres encountered by Senel Coolidge, Chloe Valens and Will Raynard while travelling through the Crystal Forest en route to rescue Shirley Fennes.

Her objective in coming to the Legacy is her search for a treasure known as the Everlight - a miraculous artefact that grants its holder any wish imaginable. At the end of her Character Quest, during the course of which it is also revealed that Norma is well-studied in Relares, Norma finally discovers the Everlight and uses its power to restore the sight of the elderly teacher of her teacher Sven, after which the crystal is shattered. It is also revealed during the course of these events that Norma was terrified of having embarked on her search in vain, and therefore was unwilling to ask Shirley to translate the writings in her stead.

Cheerful and comical, Norma banters with those around her and occasionally pokes fun at herself in order to get a good laugh. She is also the butt of a running joke where she falls asleep at the most bizarre of times. Despite her silly side, she makes deeply profound and insightful remarks.

Norma also enjoys giving people nicknames reserved solely for her use, addressing her party members as "Senny" (Senel), "C" (Chloe), "Teach" (Will), "Red" (Moses), "Jay Jay" (Jay), "G-Girl" (Grune) and "Shirl" (Shirley). She was also given the nicknames "Gnorma" by Shirley (As a reference to Gnome's personality) and "Bubbles" by Moses.

[edit] In Battle

As a crystal eren, Norma is akin to a spellcaster, but has lower Intelligence than either Will or Grune, and begins with a comparatively limited number of spells, and her physical attack, blowing bubbles out of a straw, is weak and unable to be chained into a combo. Norma does, however, learn several powerful and useful spells as she levels up, including Thunder Arrow, the first mid-tier crystal eres learned by any playable character. As the game progresses, Norma becomes a versatile spellcaster able to heal, buff, debuff, attack with all six of the game's elements, and is one of two characters (the other being Shirley Fennes) to learn the game's single non-elemental spell, Tractor Beam.

Norma's personal late-game headgear, the Angel Halo, will greatly augment her low Intelligence.
