"Don't get too close to my ni-sama!"
— Spinel
Spinel (スピネル, Supineru), is a character from Summon Night 5 and one of the four possible partners (Pariet, Kagerou and Dyth) the player can choose from. Spinel is chosen if the player decides to give a cute flower hairpin to the protagonist's savior.
Personality[]
The type of little sister that's very shy and gets easily embarrassed. Nevertheless, when the subject is the protagonist, she suddenly gets very obstinate and powerful. This is because she is a very jealous girl. She refers to the protagonist as Ni-sama/Ne-sama.
Background[]
Spinel was originally a shapeless entity of pure light existing in the Netherworld with the sole purpose of purifying Nether Beasts to send them back to the reincarnation circle. However, one day a portal to Lyndbaum was suddenly opened and many Nether Beasts escaped. Subsequently a human child (the protagonist) fell into a portal by accident, but the entity saved them and received a cute flower hairpin as a gift. Touched by this act, the entity made a resonance pact with the child and gained a physical body based on the shape of their favorite heroine from an illustrated book: The Archangel of the Halo Spiniel (光輪の大天使スピニエル, hourin no dai tenshi supinieru), and so they named her Spinel. They were later attacked by Nether Beasts once again, and a strong urge to protect her new friend made them resonate even more. In this moment, Spinel released a light she used to purify Nether creatures with as a light entity. This made the beasts disappear, sending them back into the regular circle of nature. Subsequently a resonance stone between the two was created, making them Cross partners. They later managed to find a portal back to Lyndbaum, and the child invited Spinel to live with them together as siblings would. When they returned, they were found by the Summoner Erst who told them that five days had passed in Lyndbaum since they had gone missing. Upon seeing their resonance stone, he recommended they go to Savorle City to become Registered Summoners like him. They've been together since their school days, and even now as the protagonist works as an Eucross agent. They worked part-time in a Café and rented a room from the owner, where the two live together.
Development[]
Spinel happily spent her days with her partner working on many missions, but the Nether Beasts menace appeared before them in Savorle City once again, bringing an unsettling feeling on her. During a festival, she meets with Ghift, her partner's childhood friend whom she'd heard so many stories about. However, he revealed it was him who was responsible for the incident that brought the Nether Beasts into Lyndbaum during their childhood. Consequently, he was also the one who brought Spinel and the protagonist together. After a confrontation against the now possessed Erst, Spinel learns that someone who touches a Nether Beast will eventually become possessed and will fall into madness. From this point on she started having nightmares about the creatures, causing her to recall her physical contact with them (when she shielded the main character when they first met). She became scared and confused, thinking she would also become a monster and would try to kill her partner. For this reason, she was easily manipulated by Ghift, who revealed to her that she was not from Sapureth and that only he knew about her original world and how to send her back. She accepted Ghift's help, only to be deceived by him and become infected by a Nether Beast, however, the strong resonance born from the faith between Spinel and the protagonist made the pure light be released again, erasing the creature. After this event, Spinel was still a bit hesitant to fight alongside her partner, since she now knew absolutely nothing about her origin.
It was when Flootier showed up to criticize her; she told her how she finally figured out that she didn't hate Spinel because she was an angel, she hated her because of how she was so close to the protagonist without needing to worrying about anything. Flootier envied her because she also loved the main character, but seeing Spinel acting like that made Flootier feel stupid for having considered her a rival. She then admitted Spinel had qualities she also admired. After being reassured by her fellow Cross, Spinel found the strength to return to the main character's side for good, letting go of all the hesitation she had felt before. They fought against Ghift and Erst, until the two brothers fused together and created an artificial moon made of Nether Beasts. To stop them, Spinel and her friends traveled to the moon by borrowing the powers of the legendary Thousand Eyes Dragon and they fought their final battle against Ghift and the Nether beasts.
Ending[]
Since Spinel doesn't know how to return to her original form or world, she decides to stay in Lyndbaum. She travels together with her partner to an organization lead by the Lail clan, where they will have her light ability analyzed to combat any future Nether creature menace.
Abilities[]
She specializes in Magic, not only for attack but for healing as well. She would also receive many new magic skills and enhancements to further boost her magic power. Between the four possible Crosses in the game, she is the one to have the strongest magics. Not only that, she is also capable of equipping a Bow to attack long range, making her a very useful character. Her Resonance Attack with the protagonist is a giant feathered bow, which is infused with her Mana.
