The White Mage is a recurring job/character class from the Final Fantasy series (as well as being her own character in the 8-Bit Theater).
Bio[edit | edit source]
On the surface, White Mage is a devout follower of the Hippocratic Oath (or the White Mages' Oath, at any rate) and would much rather heal than harm those around her. Alas, the world is an insane place, and her patience more than often is tested well beyond its breaking point until the hitherto convinced pacifist must invest titanic amounts of willpower into not acting upon the thoughts of murder that have overcome her.
This all being said, she seemingly has no second thoughts about destroying Undead creatures such as ghosts.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Season 2[edit | edit source]
White Mage made her first appearance during 8chanmania LXIII, serving as the champion of Hatsune Miku while simultaneously looking for Black Mage. Her debut fight against Revy went awry when White Mage's attempt to heal her tore up plenty of old wounds. Even after she had reluctantly put down her opponent by force, Revy still tried to shoot White Mage, and very nearly would have succeeded in doing so if it hadn't been for the timely intervention of Red Mage (who, in his own words, had been held in custody by the Lolice until now).
She went on to fight Lara Croft (whose tomb-raiding antics were very disagreeable to her) and would later land a crushing KO against Fumi Kanno (whose poor manners were not helping). By then, White Mage was in such a poor mood that she gleefully accepted the opportunity to hurt someone when she met four ghosts in the form of the Pac-Man Girls, and she no longer even tried to hold back when she finally faced and bested Renne Bright in the finals.
With the belt firmly attached to her hips, White Mage entered the grand finals of 8chanmania LXVI and cleanly won her first match against Rita Ciano, culminating in a victory of friendship and lasagna. Sadly, even her powers of healing did not suffice to mend the battered mind of John Doe, and the soldier kicked her out of the second round.
Season 3[edit | edit source]
White Mage, still harassed by Black Mage, entered Season 3 during 8chanmania LXXVII. It was, however, a brief return, as Dracula promptly kicked her out of the preliminaries.
Her useless companion still kept stalking her during 8chanmania LXXIX, but this time, things went slightly different: White Mage resisted the lewd artistry of Shadman, forced Turbozord, Hat Kid, and even the local Norter Ansem to tap out, and finally won her second belt by defeating Zell Dincht in the finals.
Her second belt allowed White Mage to enter the grand finals of 8chanmania XCIX, where she faced Matthew Stevens. It was a battle she would lose, but not without reason - as Matthew correctly suspected after the fight, she had allowed him to win on purpose; knowing that there was a promise to a certain little girl he had yet to fulfill. White Mage, as a result, may not have been the winner of the mania, but she certainly became a winner of hearts.
White Mage's epilogue explains that she actually was more than happy to leave the mania, being fonder of healing than of hurting. Yet the time in the ring had changed her - she knew that the blood and sweat of the arena were gruesome things, but sometimes? Sometimes she missed it.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Word of god says White Mage is a copypaste of Pillowdin, who very nearly made it into the finals herself during 8chanmania LIX.
