Biography

Magical Vacation

The students encountered Bachelard at Torūna Village, where they waited to receive permission from Chiffon to pass through Benakoncha Ruins. After the students defeated the snowhair, they found Bachelard near the entrance to Rēmittsu Palace, perplexed by the taste of MP Pots' oil. At Pipplestown, Bachelard ask a pipples salesmen if he had putty peas in stock. Unfortunately, the pipples did not know what putty peas were, leading Bachelard to believe that such an item could not be found on the Light Plane.

Later on, Bachelard traveled to the Dark Plane, facing obstacles such as black-feathered sparrows along the way. In Tapiocatea Village, they told the students they were returning to the desolate Kugande Village with no putty peas and feared for the future of the species. By the time the students reached Kugande Village, Bachelard was seen lying face-down in exhaustion. They would not stand up until Mace was talked to in the locked house at Basorimo Village, given a putty pea, and chose to abandon Masalatea Village to live in Kugande instead. Afterwards, the party talked to Bachelard and gave them putty peas to help repopulate the village.

Nomenclature

Their name comes from Gaston Bachelard, a French philosopher from the 19th century who became famous for his writings on the poetic imagination.
