'''Arle Nadja''' is the main protagonist of [[Puyo Puyo]], as well as <[#linkfarm [item [[Puyo Puyo TSU]]|[[Puyo Puyo SUN]]|[[Puyo Puyo~n]]|[[Minna de Puyo Puyo]]] [tpl most of its sequels]]>, and is also a primary protagonist in [[Compile Worlds]]. Ever since her debut in {{Episode|1|the very first episode}}, she's helped a huge cast of various characters rescue [[Primp]] from a multitude of villains. She is always traveling with her pet [[mascot]] [[Carbuncle]]. Though many of the aforementioned baddies are her enemies, her personal antagonist is [[Satan]] himself, who swoons over her in a [[Sonic Says|way that makes her feel uncomfortable]].

However, in [[Compile ♥ Worlds]], she had her magic power taken away by [[Eltia]], who isn't going to give it back any time soon. Arle decided to take the ''Great Hero Form'', also known as just ''Hero Form'' in the RP, form a [[LMIS|new group of friends]], and steal her magic back and look good doing it, because that's how she rolls.

== Biography ==
Arle begin life as a magician early on in the [[Madou World]]. She began taking classes from [[Teacher]] at [[magic]] [[school]] as early as the age of 5, where she met [[Camus]] and [[Lala]], neither of which she saw again. She passed a test gain her diploma, and has since blossomed into a proficient [[mage]]. After she turned 16, Arle had her first encounters with her future rivals, [[Schezo Wegey]], [[Rulue]] and Satan. It is during this time that she also befriended Carbuncle, who was ''Satan'''s personal pet at the time. After Satan fell in [[love]] with Arle and moved to the Madou World to pursue her, Arle gained a lot more attention from many other characters. She eventually became fed up with their strange antics and accidentally warped herself to [[Primp]], where she met the even zanier [[Puyo Puyo Fever|peanut gallery]] there. Arle has since lived in Primp, though exactly where has been a subject of much controversy...

Arle is a fairly friendly individual, and will get along with nearly anyone who doesn't get on her nerves. Usually the people she is irritated by the most in this manner are also the ones who are madly in love with her, save [[Lagnus the Brave]]. Arle usually is the one to play peace keeper in the party, being what is very likely one of the few truly indifferent characters in the entire RP. However, even then, Arle has a cracking point, to which she can tolerate no more. Arle also has a cynical side of her personality, mostly exhibited in the form of teasing her rivals with [[sarcasm]]. She has gotten used to the strangeness of her peers, and thus hardly reacts to their shenanigans much, unlike her fellow protagonist [[Ringo Andou]]. Though Arle is annoyed by her rivals and usually wary of her enemies, she doesn't really hate them or hold grudges to them, apart from possibly [[Ekoro]], as demonstrated by her ability to forgive [[Ms. Accord]] for all the wrong she's done. 

Arle is a very excellent mage. She carries no affinity to a specific [[element]], which allows her to cast as many spells from any element as she desires, aside from [[Holy_element|Light]] and [[Dark_element|Dark]]. Her most powerful spell is [[Bayoen]], which has yet to see use in the RP. Arle can also buff her magical ability even more using [[Diacute]], though this spell is not hers exclusively. Arle is also an excellent cook, and makes the most [[delicious curry]] in all of the worlds, having an almost hypnotic effect on anyone who eats it. Arle had cooked this as meals for the entire [[Pre-Meteor Arc]] segment, as she had hypnotized her fellow [[Anti Dark Magic Alliance]] into wanting to eat a diet consisting solely of it. Arle manages to attract a lot of unwanted attention from various male '''''and''''' female characters alike, although many of her admirers have given up and [[Schezo Wegey|paired off with someone else]] or [[Draco Centauros|played around with other girls]].

== Etymology ==
Arle's first name is derived from [[wikipedia:Arles|Arles]], a city and commune in France. Though it is pronounced "Arl" (as can be inferred from the [[Japanese|Katakana]] or the original French placename), the [[English]] version of Puyo Puyo Fever saw Arle herself infamously mispronounce it as "Are-lee". Ekoro uses "Arley" as a pet name for Arle in joking reference to the butchered pronunciation. Nadja has unknown origins, though Compile likely pulled it out of their ass. It is quite possible that her name was originally supposed to be "Arles", the same as the city, but lost a character due to the available screen space where her name was written. <!-- Look at OPP. I know she appeared in Madou before that, but Madou may have had a similar problem. -->

== Trivia ==
*Before {{Episode|28}}, Arle had not been missing in a single episode since the RP started.
**This paralleled her game counterpart, who has not been absent in an entire game.
***Yes, she appears in [[Puyo Wars]] too, and dressed as a [[Fire Emblem character]] no less.
*As such, Arle has been played once by every major <[#linkfarm [item [[User:Chao]]|[[User:KasaneTeto]]|[[Keiji]]|[[User:MagicalKecleon]]] [tpl player]]> in some shape or form.
**This includes two instances where the characters perceived a different character as being the real Arle.
*Arle has had 3 look-alikes throughout the RP: [[Zeta]], [[Fake Arle]] and [[Doppelganger Arle]].
**Of these, Doppel is the only one the real Arle has not met in person.
**Arle is the only character who has three clone counterparts, if FEVER counterparts are not taken into consideration.
*Like many of the early episode characters, Arle is the one of the few character to still have the same text color in the entire RP.
**She shares this color with 3 other characters, despite the fact that the blue has become known as ''Arle Blue''.
** Coincidentally, two of them are also Arle's clones.
*Arle has attempted to neutralize Zeta four times, three of which failed and lead to her being flung into the party.
**The remaining attempt has not been confirmed or denied to have had any effect on Zeta, however.
*Though Arle was forced to have separate living arrangements after {{Episode|22}}, it was never stated where she went to live, causing a brief controversy.
**Ironically, Arle has never really had a chance to live there anyway.
*Arle's theme song seems to be the [[Theme of Puyo Puyo]] itself.
