Harpy (Madou Monogatari) (EntityTopic, 9)
From Compile Worlds
Harpy is an angel-like person (Or as harpy-ish as her name says, at least in Madou Monogatari 2's PC98 version) from the Madou Puyo games, all of them. She used to appear frequently to sing for Arle and her friends, but her horrible singing voice tends to make them want her to go away (In the original, though, Harpy was singing too much to even stop). Harpy is frequently bullied, mainly due to this, but rarely fights back. She may actually be less annoying than Mikki.
Appearances
Puyo Puyo TSU
In Puyo Puyo TSU, Harpy is fought on the 3rd floor of Satan's ridiculously huge tower. She actually sings well here, but she doesn't stop singing and and pay attention to Arle, annoying her. Harpy was promptly beaten to a bloody pulp. Poor Harpy.
Puyo Puyo SUN
In Puyo Puyo SUN, Harpy is the second stage in Draco's story. When Draco finds Harpy, she had been unconscious from heat stroke. However, when Draco gave her a sip of some magic water, she rose from the near dead to sing again, only her singing sounded terrible, so Draco torched her again, probably giving her another heat stroke. She fled for the Floating Island afterwords.
Puyo Puyo~n
In Puyo Puyo~n, Harpy played a minimal role. She appeared on the floating island to annoy Draco, Arle, and Seriri. And that's about it.
Minna de Puyo Puyo
Harpy made several appearances in Minna. In the first encounter, Harpy sang for Arle, but Arle was disgusted by it. Later on, Harpy appeared again, singing a "new song", but Arle was convinced it was still awful. They duked it out again. Finally, Carbuncle conjured a magical clone of Harpy to fight in some dark, damp, deep, creepy dungeon.
Subete PuyoPuyo
Harpy has had three separate appearances so far. The first involved following a rocket through space and returning safely. The second one involved her stopping a plummeting elevator, much to the relief of everyone inside, reviving Klug, and teleporting a whole bunch of people to Floating Island. Unfortunately, like most angels, she seems to only show up when absolutely necessary, and cannot become an ADMA member. She mentioned that only one person could defeat Popoi, but she vanished before anyone could even get a hint. This fact will probably be a major part of the Popoi plot arc in Subete once it is reached. The third appearance involved her falling out of the sky with a huge black scar in her head, and slightly later shining her halo light on Phi to awaken him.
Puyo Puyo 7?
SEGA being the bastards they are, teased us by waving both Witch and Harpy in our faces in a post-story cutscene in Puyo Puyo 7, and then had them promptly replaced by Draco, whom had been sucking on some super helium or something.
Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary
Harpy was planned to appear in this game, but SEGA's negotiations with her prospective voice actor fell apart, meaning she had to be removed and replaced with Dongurigaeru, who now looks very odd in the middle of a whole bunch of classic Madou characters. Oh well. Next game, maybe?
