Paddra Nsu-Yeul

a character from a game

Paddra Nsu-Yeul (ユール) is a major supporting character from Final Fantasy XIII-2. She is Caius' traveling companion and a seeress hailing from the city of Paddra in the Yaschas Massif on Gran Pulse during the War of Transgression.

Her full name stands for "Yeul of the Nsu clan, from the city of Paddra".

Appearance and Personality
Yeul has green eyes and long, waist-length silver hair sometimes kept up in a bun, except for two long strands that frame her face. She has a lean, petite frame and wears a unique headdress with a semi-transparent veil that partially hides her face, though she sometimes does not wear the veil. She also wears a white halter-like top with an opening in the center, a short pleated white-pastel purple skirt with a fur pelt in the back, along with yellow boots. Her wrists are adorned with numerous bracelets, and she wears armbands on her biceps and beaded necklaces.

Yeul speaks in a soft tone and in a mysterious sort of way, making her clairvoyant nature all the more present.

Final Fantasy XIII
Paddra Nsu-Yeul is a seeress from the past on Gran Pulse and authored the fourth and ninth Analects, which are related to Etro's mythos, Ragnarok's attack on Cocoon, and the origins of Eidolons.

Final Fantasy XIII-2
When Caius appears in Oerba in front of Noel Kreiss and Serah Farron, Yeul also appears behind them. She cryptically tells Noel and Serah that she and Caius have been watching over them. In the TGS 2011 Xbox "Despair" trailer, Yeul and Caius stand in front of a time gate in the Sunleth Waterscape. Caius asks Yeul if Noel and Serah will ever find the dawn, and she tells him that it depends on what lies in their hearts. Yeul points at Serah claiming that they are the same, as they can both 'show people the way'. In Augusta Tower, she also tells Noel about Caius being immortal and that he is able to remember the entire timeline.

On the streets of Academia, Yeul is seen to be dying or in great pain. She is being held by Noel, while stating that she is a 'contradiction' to the timeline as long as she is alive. At the same time, Serah despairs over she and Noel causing a paradox to occur, therefore sealing Yeul's fate.

In the "New Adventures" trailer, Yeul is shown with Serah in Valhalla, asking her why she seeks to change time, and why she keeps trying to stand in Caius's way. Then she tells Serah that she comes closer to death as she changes the timeline.

Creation and Development
Yeul was designed by Hideo Minaba.

Musical Themes
Yeul has her own leitmotif aptly titled "Yeul's Theme," composed by Naoshi Mizuta and performed by Joelle. It shares music with "A Song for Time", but features lyrics.

Lyrics

 * Sooner than memories begin to thread
 * Everything from our past just slipped away
 * Remembering when all who have gone on are lost


 * Many paths, many seasons I have seen
 * Time has washed them away
 * Just like the sea
 * So many fates and dreams will become tragedies


 * To see you safe
 * To watch you grow
 * Visions of love, my only hope
 * Such loneliness is worth the price
 * I'll protect you with my life
