Prettz

プリッツ

Prettz (also known as Pretz or Pritz) is Linaly's friend and Guardian. He serves as the protagonist of Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals.
A carefree youth, Prettz's attitude can overshadow his innate skill with a blade, which is itself quite considerable. Even so, he can be brash, crude, and very stubborn. It is unknown where he learned his skills, but based on his inherent lack of personal discipline, it can be reasoned that his abilities are self-taught. Prettz has an old clunker of a large motorcycle, which he uses to take Linaly and himself to places, usually in half-hearted attempts to get the two of them alone. While his motivation for helping Linaly initially appears to be self-serving, he reveals a courageous and noble side that is genuinely concerned with protecting planet R. He displays his courage in the face of monumental odds, and never gives up fighting, even when it seems that all hope is lost.
He easily performs feats of acrobatic skill, and can even leap from a moving bicycle and slay an enemy in mid-air. Prettz is thought to be a Samurai due to his sword skills with his Kikuichimonji nodachi. He also employs smiley-faced bombs (possibly sentient, since they smile before exploding) encased in a spiked shell, which splits in two, revealing a Pac-Man-esque ball that detonates with a potent blast.
