A fine sword fighter with incredible feminine charm to boot. Raised by the Roamer Tribe, her dancing skills are second to none. But a sorrowful glint in her eyes suggest a troubled past. --Description from the Dragon Quest VII instructional manual.

Aishe (formerly Aira) is a character from Dragon Quest VII. She is a member of the Roamers tribe, but has shown some restlessness recently.

Appearance

Aishe is similar in dress to Kiefer. She wears an abbreviated red jacket that she leaves open. She also dons a leather bra and with a red bikini bottom. Draped around her waist is a tattered cloth that she wears like a skirt. Slung on the back of her waist is a scabbard with the Sword of the Roamers with which she is quite proficient. In appearance, she looks like a dancer and a warrior, which fits her nicely.

In fact, many people from Estard, including King Donald feel a connection to her, even though they have never met before, pushing the implication that Aishe is the descendant of Kiefer.

Personality

Aishe is quite the forceful person. Whatever she decides to do, she does and damn the consequences. Many of the tribe find it hard to tell her what to do or what she should do. In fact, during her initiation as the tribe's lead dancer, she walked out from the tent where the initiation was taking place, upset with the way the chief was playing the torban. During this, no one was able to stop her for fear of her swordsmanship. She finds that she is restless with the way of the Roamer Tribe. She wants to go and find new adventures.

However, this isn't to say that she is a brat. On the contrary, she is very dedicated to reviving God. Her reason for joining the party, first and foremost is to find a person to play the legendary Torban of Truth.

History

Not much is known about Aishe's past except that she was trained to lead the Roamer Tribe in dancing. Someone also taught her to fight with the sword as she is very proficient in this art as well.

Synopsis

During the initiation to become the tribe's dancer, Aishe walks out of the tent where she is performing. She heads to a cliff by a waterfall where the Hero and party catch up to her. She asks them who they are and they introduce themselves. Aishe believes that they were sent by the Chief of the Roamers. She explains that she has no desire to be a dancer. With that, she returns to the Roamer camp.

When the party arrives, they find Aishe and the chief having a heated discussion. Aishe wants to find the legendary Torban Player but the chief doesn't want her to leave. As the party enters the tent, she quickly uses them to her advantage. She tells the chief that she will be in their capable hands. The chief asks the party if this is true. The Hero responds in the affirmative. The chief relents and tells her to be careful on her journey. Aishe is given the Torban of Truth to find the Legendary Torban Player.

Aishe then leads the party to the cliff again and finds a grave that reads Here lies the Holy Dancer and the Holy Guardian. She digs up the grave and finds the Sword of the Roamers. She explains that this is the sword that Roamer Guardians use to protect the tribe. The chief didn't approve of her having it so she buried it. She then lies under the stars and invites the party to do the same.

Night passes and they wake up the next morning. Aishe formally joins the party and they set off to find the Legendary Torban player.

If the player heads to Estard first and enter the Castle, she will tell the party that she feels as though she has been before even though she knows she hasn't. If the party talks to King Donald, he will ask Aishe to look her in the eyes and ask if she recognizes her. She will respond that she doesn't.

The party head to Hubble and find it a place dedicated to to the arts. They meet the Princess Michaela and tell her of their quest to find the Legendary Torban Player. Michaela responds that she will use her influence to organize a contest so that a Torban Player can be found. Aishe leaves the Torban of Truth with the princess and continue on their adventure.

Strategy

Aishe is able to equip most weapons and armors in the game. Because of this and her high strength increases, she is best suited to physical attacks.

Being the ritual Dancer of the Roamer tribe, it isn't surprising that Aishe joins the party with the Dancer class already mastered. She joins the party as a rank three Warrior. The player should allow Aishe to become a rank five Warrior so that she can use the skill Sword Dance, a powerful skill that attacks all enemies four times.

Because she already mastered the Dancer class, it would be a good idea to learn the Luminary class after mastering both the Troubadour and Jester classes.

Name

Her original name "Aira" can be seen as a conglomeration of the Italian name Aria, meaning 'Song' or 'Melody' and the Japanese name Airi which means 'Love' and 'affection'.
