Hero (Echoes of Time)

The Hero is the protagonist of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time. The player, at the beginning of the game, chooses its tribe, gender, and name (though there are defaults available).

Story
At the beginning of the game, it shows the Hero's dream: he/she sees a girl in white running a way from an old man. The girl trips and is caught by the man as his hand covers her face and the man sees a large crystal. The girl notices the crystal, and the man begins laughing. Then the crystal shines and the hero wakes up. That day it his/her 16th birthday and his/her coming-of-age ceremony, in which the hero is required to set out in the Forest.

When the hero reaches a clearing in the forest, Sherlotta appears, floating on the Crystal, and she tells the Hero that they have passed the test. Sherlotta gives the hero a Crystal. Soon after, even before the village has time to celebrate, a girl in the village named Eryll falls ill to a disease known as "crystal sickness". The Hero must leave the village to find a cure for Eryll, and begin his/her adventure.
