The Water Spirit is both a non playable character and a boss in the game Dragon Quest VII.
Appearance and personality[edit]
The Water Spirit resembles a mermaid, but with a more complete blending of mammalian and icthyan traits. She possesses scaleless blue skin on Her face, arms, and underbelly with a deeper shade covering Her back. Her tail tapers into a large, orange fin with similar appendages on Her her shoulders, forearms, and extended fins stemming from Her hips. Her ears are pointed, and Her cranium grows into a large mass reminiscent of a hammerhead shark's namesake--the separation between this and the humanoid portion is masked with a thin red band set with a large red gemstone. The Spirit received a slight redesign in the Nintendo 3DS remake, having a human skin tone instead of light blue, and wearing ornate jewellery in addition to bearing a staff topped with a blue orb. The shape of Her head is now more streamlined and the gems set into Her tiara is now aqua in color.
The Water Spirit is the most benevolent of the Children of the Almighty, dedicating Herself entirely to the preservation of the human race in opposition to the ambition of the Demon King. Her bestiary entry for Dragon Quest VII Reimagined takes this a step further by stating that She is the most devoted of the four to their father, and that the Almighty allowed her to birth the origin of life on the planet.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]
The Water Spirit sleeps in a small bay on Estard island in the form of a statue, which is visible to the player very early in the adventure. She has played an instrumental role in the life of the Hero, blessing him with Her own emblem.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined[edit]
The Water Spirit's role in the game's plot remains unaltered, but Her capability in battle has been greatly enhanced compared to the original.

Dragon Quest of the Stars[edit]
The Water Spirit appears in the scenario based on VII, though now She must be fought as soon as the player revives Her. The original, blue-skinned siren design is used instead of the more humanoid.
