Toris is the female protagonist from Summon Night 2. She also make cameos in the events of Swordcraft 2 & Summon Night 3. She is playable in Summon Night 4 via the game's puppet system.
Personality[]
She may look like a very noisy and energetic brat at first, but she actually has a very pleasant personality and a strong heart. For this reason, she easily make friends everywhere and is always trying to solve everyone’s problems. Consequently, her friends are constantly involved in her troubles.
Background[]
Toris was a ordinary country girl, until the day where she found a shining stone in the middle of the street. When she touched the stone, it exploded and caused panic in the whole village. This event made clear her talent for Summoning, since the ability is too powerful, that is why normal people are not allowed to use this power. Regardless of her will, she was taken to the capital Zeram to become a Summoner apprentice in the Blue Faction, where she passed many years studying together with Nesty – her “older brother of training”. During this time, she was never allowed to go out normally. She was also constantly bullied because summoners from a noble lineage normally have a irrational hate for commoners with Summon abilities.
Development[]
Summon Night 2[]
When she reached the age of 18, she made a test to finally be recognized as a summoner, was during this test that she summoned her beast partner and together, they passed the final challenge. She later was ordered to go on a journey to become a full fledged summoner. During this journey, she made friends with Forte and Keina, adventurers that were on the way to a village where a saint woman resides curing any ills and injuries for the villagers. The saint was a girl named Amer, who was very kind with them. However, a group of black knights from the military city of Degrea of the Old Kingdom attacked the village during the night to capture the saint. To protect Amer, they escaped to Zeram and later to Fanan, where many others allies and enemies were made.
It was later revealed that the true master-mind controlling Degrea was a group of demons led by the High Demon Melgitos.
While trying to help Amer, Toris ends up discovering the truth about her own heritage. She is actually from the bloodline of Clesment, a very powerful clan of summoners that made a powerful weapon that could destroy all worlds in the Lyndbaum system. The demons wanted to steal this weapon and Amer was the key.
In almost every ending, she ends up defeating Melgitos, but at a great cost.
Canonically, she ends in a romantic relationship with Nesty (or in a special friendship with Amer) and becomes a noble working for the Blue Faction investigating many cases with dangerous Summoned Beasts or Forbidden Techniques.
