Appearances
Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride
Early on, someone had stolen the Herald of Spring from Treacle, preventing her from ushering in the new season and leaving Faerie Lea in perpetual winter. Honey traveled to the village of Whealbrook and started mischief in hopes of getting attention of someone to help, but the only person who saw her was the six-year old Hero. Taking him and his sabercub to the land of faeries, Treacle explained the problem. Assisting the Hero, they tracked down the thief, Dwight, and his mistress, Winter Queen. After returning the Herald to Treacle, Honey remained at Faerie Lea.
During the second generation, a boy in Whealbrook is speaking to Honey in his sleep. Honey can be spoken to in the third generation, when the Hero and his children travel to Faerie Lea to seek aid in restoring the sunken Zenithia.
