Prima Donna (clan)

Prima Donna (ラブリーボイス Roburi Boisu lit. Lovely Voice) is an NPC Clan in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. They are also a musical band, which results in a large fan following. This group is so famous the stores even sell Prima Donna undies, which was one of the options at a mission named Bonga Bugle - Bloodfire.

They are comprised of four female members; two Vieras and two Grias. They are known to travel alone, but are a formidable group when all four members are present. They appear frequently during clan tournaments, reaching as far as the Jylland Cup. According to the results of the various cups, they are the third strongest clan in Ordalia and the fifth strongest clan in Jylland. They are on generally good terms with Clan Gully, and the two groups seem to share a friendly rivalry.

Devotees
Prima Donna are followed by two devotees, who are completely obsessed with the group.

Devotee
Devotee is a low-level Lanista that is crazy about Prima Donna. He aids Prima Donna in the quests "Instrument of Inspiration" and "Kidnapped" along with Devotee Jr. He is the one who gives you the Lanista class in the mission "A Lanista's Pride" after fighting the Bonga Bugle staff, who insulted his skills as a fighter.

Devotee Jr.
Devotee Jr. is a low-level Moogle Time Mage. He is very weak and can be killed in one or two hits. He and Devotee can be interviewed in "Bonga Bungle - Blackfrost".

As a side note, the devotees were the group responsible for the thefts in the quests "Camoa Nightwatch", "Grazton Nightwatch", "Moorabella Nightwatch", "Goug Nightwatch", and "Flourgis Nightwatch". Completing all these quests led to the quest "Wanted: Devotees". It was revealed that the devotees were attempting to steal Prima Donna merchandise. However, as they used a group of Baknamy to do the actual theiving, they only obtained junk.

Etymology
A prima donna, meaning "first woman (i. e. "lady") in Italian, was the leading singer in a opera company, the person to whom the prime roles would be given. Traditionally, these women were often regarded as egotistical, unreasonable and irritable, with a rather high opinion of themselves not shared by others.
