"Cool and sometimes a little aloof, Sorbet uses her water magic to show off her sparkling intelligence."

Sorbet is a party member in Magical Starsign. She is a dedicated honor student at Will-o'-Wisp Academy who uses the water starsign.

In Knight of the Universe, which takes place in a continuity separate from Magical Starsign, Sorbet (or Sugar Ronsard, as she is originally known), appears as an affiliate of the White Hawk Magic Knights.

Profile

Sorbet is a bright and analytical girl, but tends to keep her true feelings hidden, often leading her to make careless decisions. As cheery as she may seem, Sorbet is rarely ever satisfied with her achievements and pushes to be a better version of herself. She is also described as honest and earnest, and that she cannot be shaken from her beliefs. Due to her family’s financial situation, Sorbet is shown to take dropping out of Will-o'-Wisp Academy hard. She shows signs of depression throughout the story, as seen in her lack of self preservation and outbursts in certain situations.

Sorbet has violet eyes and curly light brown hair that goes down to her shoulders. She wears a red, blue, and white headband with a geometric pattern on her head, and a coordinated short blue dress, blue gloves, and blue boots with a lighter colored stripe down the middle. The shoulders, ends of the dress, and the tops of the boots are adorned with cream-colored ruffles.

Gameplay

Sorbet joins the party at Paella on Razen after the events in Shishkebab Cavern, starting at level 21. She uses the water starsign, which is strong against fire, but weak to earth, and gains her aura when Cassia is in phase. Her magic is distributed randomly when cast from the back row, and may negate enemies' spells by inflicting cold. Sorbet also makes use of supportive abilities; fresh drop cures most negative status effects, while sparkling shield applies the shield status to block damage from magic attacks. She has strong intelligence, spirit, and agility, but weak power and defense.

Biography

Early life

Sorbet was born into a family who struggled financially, so when she enrolled in Will-o'-Wisp Academy, she began working excessively hard to be the very best in her class. Constantly wanting to improve, Sorbet forced herself to go to school, resulting in anxiety over her shortcomings and likeliness of dropping out, as her parents would soon be unable to afford her tuition. She formed a strong friendship with the protagonist, Lassi, Mokka, Chai, and Pico in Miss Madeleine's class, but undermined her own importance in the group due to her inferiority complex.

The students gathered around Biscotti's office

After overhearing Biscotti order Miss Madeleine to fly to Puffoon, where she would confront a rogue magician named Kale, Sorbet and her classmates expressed worry for their teacher. The six students were then summoned to the academy's meditation room, where Madeleine taught them the basics of magical combat. However, Sorbet remarked that Madeleine did not seem like her usual self. Once the lesson concluded, Sorbet was under the impression that the group would be going into outer space too, though Madeleine assured them that no such thing would be happening.

Three months later, the students grew worried, as Madeleine had not contacted Kovomaka for three months since her departure. When Pico and Chai took notice of Lassi's sudden absence, Sorbet reminded her friends that rockets were rumored to be stowed somewhere in the academy, suggesting Lassi planned on using one to fly to Puffoon herself. Sorbet accompanied Mokka and the protagonist to a rocket hangar in the academy's clocktower, where Lassi, aboard one of the rockets, launched into space. The five other students immediately boarded the remaining rockets, scattering them across the Baklava solar system.

Conflict at Assam

When the protagonist, Lassi, and Mokka (and Chai if Puffoon was visited beforehand) reunited with Pico on Gren, he warned the them that Sorbet may have been taken by the astro pirates. They had landed on the wood planet together after Lassi left the academy, but Sorbet was probably taken due to being a magician. The group traveled north to Port Assam where confrontation broke out between Pico, Sorbet, and the pirate otters lead by Lord Persimmon. Several pirate otters dogpiled on top of Sorbet, only to be blown away by a surge of her water magic. Impressed by her talents, Persimmon began sailing off to the fire planet Razen with Semolina, disguised as Farina, on board. Before his ship left Assam's dock, Sorbet hesitantly leapt on, to the dismay of Pico and the others.

Once the party obtained the aquarino from Cassia, they hastily flew to Razen, where Sorbet was seen conversing with two enigmas. She then passed through a barrier into the potfolk town of Paella, while her classmates followed. They paid a visit with Paella's barrier craftsman Celadon, but after leaving his house, Sorbet snuck by and ran off with Celadon, claiming she could save Madeleine on her own. Baffled by her actions, the party chased Sorbet down the planet's World Seam, soon arriving at Shishkebab Cavern. Celadon in-hand, Sorbet proceeded to the Stone Stage where Master Kale and Master Chard stood before an unconscious Madeleine. She attempted to offer Celadon to the masters, seeing as he was adept in magic, but Kale did not see potfolk as adequate sacrifices. When the students arrived, Sorbet refused Chard's command to fight them, resulting in her getting kicked off the Stone Stage. Kale then activated the stage and warped himself, Madeleine, and Chard, to the dimension inside the sun, which housed the light planet Nova. Luckily, Celadon formed a small dome around the students to keep them safe.

After Magical Starsign

Sorbet working with Brie Pourri

Sorbet continued to study at Will-o'-Wisp, completing her education with a full scholarship. She later went to Puffoon and applied to the Space Police, where she worked alongside Brie and Knucklestorm to restore the force's honor.

Trivia

• She is the only party member in Magical Starsign with an official last name, Ronsard, which comes from the Pierre de Ronsard flower.
• It is possible that Sorbet references Candy Mintblue from the preceding work, Magical Vacation. They have similar designs, temporarily work alongside the antagonists of their respective games, and are the last classmates to join the main party. Moreover, Candy's design is based off of an unused character which Shinichi Kameoka had created for Legend of Mana. Sorbet closely resembles this design as well.

Nomenclature

Her name comes from sorbet, a frozen fruit dessert.
