![[Ramie_bonk_Thorns.png]] *Ramie saving [[Macaron]] from a hostile [[Ironmon]]* >*I'm lookin' for my Mom, of course!* > > Ramie answering [[Macaron]] at the end of [[Chapter 0]] ___ Ramie is a shiny [Tinkatuff](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Tinkatuff_(Pok%C3%A9mon))[^1] and the main Protagonist of Valiant Heart. She is depicted to have a witty, brave and confident personality. Her first appearance was in [[Chapter 0]]. She is seen wearing a pair of goggles over her forehead with a band aid covering one of her cheeks. She wears a kerchief around her neck which has her badge attached as well as a jacket and belt. She *was* a member of the [[Relic Guild]] before being exiled due to her actions in [[Chapter 2]]. She was raised by [[Gladius]] and [[Kojiro]] after her mother, [[Juno]], sacrificed herself to safeguard her and the others by holding back [[Iris|the Iron Valiant]]. She is best friends with [[Dash]] and [[Izu]] with whom she also seems to form a team. Ramie's ultimate goal is to find her mother, [[Juno]], which currently involves recovering the memory of [[Iris]]. ## Chapter 0 ![[Ramie_chapter0.png]] *[[Iris|The Iron Valiant]] approaching a young Ramie to kidnap her* During the events of [[Chapter 0]], Ramie only plays a minor role, being saved by [[Juno]] and [[Gladius]] from [[Ironmon]] in the streets of [[Diabun Town]]. At the [[Relic Guild Building]], she later offers herself to be captured to save [[Juno]] from certain death at the hands of [[Iris|the Iron Valiant]] just to be, in-turn, saved by [[Gladius]]. [[Iris|The Iron Valiant]] is shown to have a special interest in Ramie. For an as of yet to be determined reason, they are under orders to capture her, likely by none other than [[The Puppeteer]]. ## Chapter 1 In [[Chapter 1]], Ramie gets into a fight with [[Iron Hands]] at the [[Unnamed Desert Canyon]] where she eventually defeats him with strength, Booster Bombs ("BBs") - one of her inventions - and a bit of help from [[Dash]]. ![[Iron_Hands_Cave.png]] *Ramie squaring up to [[Iron Hands]] whom has captured [[Dash]]. Note one of her Booster Bombs on the right side of the image.* Her recklessness does however cause vital supplies destined for the guild the become destroyed due to collateral damage. After her, [[Dash]] and [[Izu]] were both scolded *and* praised by [[Kojiro]], she was handed a box by him which contained [[Juno]]'s belongings. ![[The_Trio.png]] *Ramie, [[Dash]] and [[Izu]] leaving [[Kojiro]]'s office* After her heart-to-heart conversation with [[Kojiro]], interrupted by [[Lemon]], she eavesdrops on their conversation, revealing the [[Iris|Iron Valiant]] to be located at the [[Abandoned Powerplant]]. She decides to sneak out ahead of the hunting party to confront it and gather information on what happened to her mother. The [[Iris|Iron Valiant]] attempts to ambush Ramie but fails. She is recognized by her as she activates her "Child Retrieval Protocol". ![[Ramie_Valiant_Clash.png]] *Ramie clashing with the [[Iris]] at the end of [[Chapter 1]].* ## Chapter 1.5 In [[Chapter 1.5]] a young [[Ramie]] and [[Izu]] can be seen playing on the [[Flower Hill]]. ![[Flowerhill_Childhood.png]] *A young [[Ramie]] and [[Izu]] chasing around a [Wurmple](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Wurmple_(Pok%C3%A9mon)) on [[Flower Hill]].* ## Chapter 2 [[Chapter 2]] starts off with Ramie's fight against the [[Iris|the Iron Valiant]]. She is seen making use of her own gadgets to go toe to toe with her. ![[Valiant_aura_farming.png]] *Ramie confronting the [[Iris|Iron Valiant]] after detonating an EMP at the [[Abandoned Powerplant]]* Though she initially gains the upper hand against the threat, it isn't before laying an EMP trap and using a gadget similar to her BBs to power up her hammer before she is able to defeat the [[Iris|Iron Valiant]]. Unfortunately this causes the [[Iris|Iron Valiant]] to force-reset, wiping her memories in the process. ![[Ramie_ch2_hammer.png]] *Ramie putting a gadget into her hammer before powering it up** After being saved from approaching [[Ironmon]] by [[Kojiro]] and the hunters from the [[Hunter Division]], she was grounded for a month. Not one to be easily contained however, she dug a tunnel out of [[Ramie's Room|her room]] and spent the month sneaking off to the [[Abandoned Powerplant]] to repair [[Iris]] and hopefully restore her memories. ![[Ramie_Room.png]] *[[Rmaie|Ramie]] in [[Ramie's Room|her room]] at the [[Relic Guild]]* One night, she is unexpectedly caught off-guard by [[Izu]] asking to sleep in her room because she couldn't sleep. At first, she wants to get Ramie into trouble but she gets her to trust her, leading her to the [[Abandoned Powerplant]] and [[Iris]]. Unfortunately for her, several things went very wrong. [[Kojiro]], checking in on her, discovered the tunnel in [[Ramie's Room]] and [[Izu]] terrified of what she only knows as [[Iris|the Iron Valiant]] runs off back to the [[Relic Guild Building]]. Furthermore, [[Iris]], taking her orders too literal, follows her lead, leading to her showing up too. ![[Exile.png]] *Kojiro awaiting [[Ramie]] and [[Izu]]'s return to the Guild. A large crowd of several Guild members is gathered behind him* Ramie is confronted by a large gathering of [[Relic Guild]] Members, including [[Kojiro]] who wastes no time confronting her about her reckless behaviour. [[Agate]] particularly seems upset at her for breaking the Guild's Number 1 rule of never trusting an [[Ironmon]]. When she then refuses to step out of the way so that they may deal with [[Iris]], [[Kojiro]] is forced to exile her. ![[Cast_out_ch2.png]] *"Those are your personal belongings, along with some supplies. Ramie... as Guildmaster, I hereby exile you from the [[Relic Guild]]."* In her parting words, Ramie accuses [[Kojiro]] of never truly believing in [[Juno|her mother]] before turning to leave alongside [[Iris]]. ![[Ramie_Iris_postcredit_ch2.png]] *Ramie and [[Iris]] off to parts unknown...* In the post credit scene. Ramie makes it her and [[Iris]] objective to find the Valiant's memories. It is unknown where exactly they are headed, if anywhere in particular at all. ## Additional Info Ramie's theme, which first appeared in [[Chapter 1]], is called "Chin Up, Will Ya?" by Partways ([Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@parpmd2), [Soundcloud](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka5dBdBZH4w)) and can be found [here](https://soundcloud.com/parpmd2/chin-up-will-ya). ## Trivia - In a Discord poll on Favourite Prologue Main Characters, Ramie Ranked 1st out of 4, gaining 25 of 78 votes. - Mat once mentioned that "Ramie would order cheeseburgers with extra cheese" - Ramie's favourite food and drink are Pecha Berry Pie and Soda Pop - During the [PMD: Protagonist Tournament 2 Championship](https://www.reddit.com/r/MysteryDungeon/comments/1ry8j3p/pmd_protagonist_tournament_2_championship_results/) Ramie made it to the Quarterfinals where she was outvoted by Yalini from [PMD: Guardians of the Universe](https://pmdgotu.thecomicseries.com/) ## Gallery ![[Ramie_sketch_1_sign.png]] ![[Ramie_sketch_2_sign.png]] *Reference art by LolloTheChoco, you can find it and some additional images on her Instagram [here](https://www.instagram.com/lollo_thechoco/p/CxhKV-Qulgl/)* ![[Ramie_art_vee.png]] *Ramie Art by intervee24 check out more of her work [here](https://linktr.ee/intervee24_)* ___ Return to [[Index]] #Character_Relic [^1]: She is a [Tinkatink](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Tinkatink_(Pok%C3%A9mon)) for most of [[Chapter 0]] and all of [[Chapter 1.5]]
