[edit] Appearances

Undine is the Summon Spirit of Water. As the series progresses, her appears leans more toward the merperson; her original Phantasia appearance is that of a sword-wielding sprite.

[edit] Tales of Phantasia

Undine appears as a tall woman wearing blue flaps and cloth over her body with a sword. Found in the Limestone Cave, she is one of the first four Spirits that the party must face before they can meet Maxwell, the Spirit of Matter. She initially fights the party because they woke her up. It is through her power that the party is able to reach the sunken city of Thor.

Undine requires the Aquamarine Ring to forge a pact, granting Klarth F. Lester with the power to summon her in battle. When summoned, Undine appears at the left side of the screen, and she races across the visible battle field with her sword, dealing water element damage to all enemies who are hit by her.

[edit] Tales of Destiny

Undine can be summoned through the consumable item "Wendiene" (a clear mistranscription of Undine's own name, as it bears the same katakana in the Japanese version), which is described as an ancient weapon capable of calling forth the water spirit. When she is summoned through the use of this item, Undine heals all allies with columns of water.

[edit] Tales of Eternia

Undine represents one of the Greater Craymels and one of the Primary Craymels of Inferia. The Water Craymel governs the use of all water element spells. Undine makes her home in Undine Stream. With her steely personality, she is the first Greater Craymel encountered and tests their will. It is her power which lets the party survive the intense heat of Efreet Gorge, and when Efreet refuses to help, she forces him inside the Craymel Cage.

Undine herself can be summoned through the skill "Undine", where she strikes her trident onto the ground, creating a blast of water that damages enemies while healing the party.

[edit] Tales of Destiny 2

Undine is a cameo appearance in the Hi Ougi arte Aqua Rimms (アクアリムス, Aqua Rimms^?). Undine calls forth a massive tidal wave that hits all enemies on the screen, then follows up by healing the party.

[edit] Tales of Symphonia

Undine, the Maiden of the Mist, appears in an amphibian-like form, with completely blue skin and "clothes" that seem fused to her skin and is one of the Sylvaranti Summon Spirits. Residing on a small island known as "Thoda" famous for its geyser, she is the Summon Spirit of Water. Once summoned through Summon: Water (降霊召符・水, Koureishoufu: Mizu^?), which will display Undine's name after the arte's name, Undine creates several geysers that appear randomly on the field, similar to multiple Spread spells, while healing the members of the party.

[edit] Tales of the Abyss

Undine is mentioned in one of the texts of the library in Daath, with her name used to represent the fourth day of the week, Undineday, and the third and tenth months, Undine Decan and Undine Redecan respectively. The spear "Undine" names her as the aggregate sentience of the Fourth Fonon, the Fonon of Water.

[edit] Tales of Vesperia

The Entelexeia Belius is inadvertantly turned into a spirit while Rita Mordio attempts to control Estelle's powers using her apatheia. The spirit has control of all waters, and asks Estelle to name her. Estelle promptly names the new spirit Undine, meaning the Ruler of the Waters. Much like Belius, Undine has much support for the humans and, when the four Spirits converse, speaks the most for them.

In the PS3 port, Undine appears during Estelle's mystic arte Ultimate Elements, where, after Sylph performs her cyclone, she unleashes a tidal wave which drowns her foes.

[edit] Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon

Undine is the Spirit of Water and one of the twelve Spirits which must be fought during the Ordeal of Spirits. She is found on the final level of the Cave of Water in AC. 4203 and is the boss of that dungeon. Upon defeat, she teaches Mel and Dio the heart of water: presence of mind (へいじょうしん, heijoushin^?).^[1]

[edit] Tales of the World: Summoner's Lineage

Fulein F. Lester can summon Undine as a unit.

[edit] Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

Undine appears in a hot springs scene, where Sheena Fujibayashi summons her to send water at Lloyd Irving and Emil Castagnier, after they were tricked by Zelos Wilder. Based on the location of the other Centurions' cores, it can inferred that, had Aqua, the Centurion of Water, not already been awake, her core would have been found at Undine's home at the Thoda Geyser. In reference to her position as the Summon Spirit of Water, her name is attached to monster grimoires which teach water elemental artes: Undine's Whisper, which teaches First Aid, Undine's Affection, which teaches Heal, Undine's Charity, which teaches Recover, and Undine's Tears, which teaches Splash.^[2]
