Fatima is the Shadow Frost Witch of Luminous Arc 2. Fatima, along with Master Mattias and Josie, are the antagonists of the first part of the game. However, once Bharva's true intentions are revealed and the party is thrown into jail, Fatima joins the player.

Background[]

Fatima can control the rare Shadow Frost Magic, making her unique among her peers (though in the Japanese version it is simply called dark magic). She was ostracized by said peers when she was learning magic - only Master Mattias was willing to be concerned about her, and instruct her in the ways of Shadow Frost Magic. This attachment causes a lifelong bond which provides impetus for the plot of the game.

Involvement[]

Fatima is the only one who knows of Master Mattias' true intentions for seizing the Demon Blade. As such, at the beginning of the game, she works towards removing the seal that was placed on him fifteen years earlier when the original Witches prevented his plan from being successful. When Mattias is freed, she supports him and his campaign. However, once Bharva kills Mattias and the player is imprisoned by order of Queen Sophia, who has lost her faith in non-regulation of magic, Fatima escapes along with the player and joins the party.

Depending on the player's story-line choices, Fatima (and Josie) may engage him in battle again if the player leans towards Althea as Roland's love interest. Following the battle, Althea attempts to die by suicide, but is saved by Roland's Love Magic. On the other hand, if Fatima is Roland's love interest, Althea will instead leave the party to battle Roland. If this is the case, Fatima and Roland will partner up to defeat the Final Boss, Mage Queen Elicia with the ultimate attack "Frozen Void".

Personality[]

In the beginning of the game, Fatima is portrayed as very motive-driven. It is later learned that those motives are built on her attachment to certain personal relationships. In her past, she was socially rejected, so when Mattias reached out to her, she developed an attachment to him which gave her the drive to carry out her plans. A similar reaction is seen again if the player chooses to reason with Fatima in the story. In that case, Fatima becomes attached to Roland, which can escalate to a romantic level and alter the game's ending. She is able to carry out her plan by herself, and she believes that her motives are justified. But the fact that she is willing to listen to Roland throughout the story suggests an aptitude for rational thought on her part as well as an open mind towards change and new ideas.

Generally speaking though, Fatima could be considered quite the shy girl. She explains that she has always been alone, and is very careful about who she allows to be close to her. She mostly tries to avoid people due to her past, but it has not made her vindictive. She is not your typical "shut-in", as she is at least capable of allowing certain people like Mattias, Josie, and of course Roland into her circle of relationships. She is also very powerful and knowledgeable while simultaneously avoiding the label "bookworm". It is possible that she also has a tendency to take the mistakes of others onto herself as a sort of self-punishment for anything that she feels is her fault. Fatima prefers to keep her flaws and mistakes to herself (for better or for worse). Fatima's more forgiving side is shown towards Roland and the group after they become a team. It is possible that deep down, she has the heart of an idealist, but finds herself at an internal conflict due to the fact that she cannot achieve her goals in an ideal manner.

Battle[]

See also: Fatima/Boss

Fatima, as an enemy, commonly appears with Josie and Mattias later. She has access to powerful Shadow Frost magic that can cause huge damage on clustered characters. When attacking her gang up on her as quickly as possible. Also use caution when she casts Shadow Frost magic because they have a slight chance of freezing you. Dia is a good character to combat her Darkness. Her Flash Drive is increasingly devastating if hit.

Stat and Abilities[]

When under your control, Fatima is on par with Althea as the strongest Witch stat wise. Like Althea, she has a powerful spell, Freeze Dust, that targets a massive area. With Shadow Frost Magic, she is also able to freeze and immobilize enemies. Her magic stat is impressive and Reboot can make her devastating for your opponents. Her attack stat is very high helping her deal damage should her MG run out. Her Flash Drive, Black Frost, can target a single enemy and will deal massive damage. Her Def is below average so be careful when using her.

Equipment[]

Fatimaequipment

Fatima equips a whip as her preferred weapon of choice. Her armor is (similar to the other witches) a robe and a hood respectively. While she has rather high MP, Ice Coffin and Freeze Dust still cost the most MP out of all of the other same tier spells, so you might want opt for grabbing Rune Equipment or Lapis Shards that boost MP.

Luminous Arc 3[]

In Luminous Arc 3, the depictions of the Holy Witch Siville (a heroine of the past) resemble Fatima. Moreover, Siville's illusion fought in Chapter 7 reuses Fatima's character art, battle sprites and attacks. It's possible that the creators of the game chose Fatima as a template for Siville, because her appearance fits the classical witch image the most of Luminous Arc 2 witches.

Apart from that, the real Fatima is the guardian of the sixth final Paradise Hot Springs (Shadow Frost Spring). At first, Magus take her for Siville, because from their perspective, she looks the same as her. But they are quickly corrected.
