Honey B. Lovely is a character from Final Fantasy XIV, introduced in the expansion Dawntrail. She is one of the rookie competitors in the light-heavyweight tier of the Ascension Arcadia Championship.
History[]
Honey B. Lovely's Arcadion introduction.
Honey B. Lovely was known for using the soul of a queen bee, using both poison and the queen bee's pheromones to enchant her enemies in battle. She was the Warrior of Light's second opponent in the Ascension Arcadia Championship. Despite the use of her tricks, Honey B. Lovely was defeated by Warrior of Light.[1] Later, the Warrior of Light could talk with a fan of Honey B., who told them that she is not just an Arcadion fighter, but also a famous songstress with a strong fan base.
Eventually Yaana and Neyuni called Honey B. Lovely and explained that repeated use of feral soul causes psychonekrosis in the user. Though alarmed, she agreed to Neyuni's examination, which confirmed her soul was unharmed. Relieved, Honey expressed her horror at the disease and chastised Yaana, who already had the initial symptoms, for recklessly training with feral souls, realizing that the Arcadion's president likely forbade such practices to prevent early deaths among fighters. Without hesitation, Honey decided to retire from the Arcadion, declaring that no amount of fame was worth dying for. She assured them she would find another way to dazzle her fans. With her usual flair, she departed for her next broadcast appearance, leaving Yaana and Neyuni behind, grateful for their warning and determined to continue shining on her own terms.[2]
Honey later assisted the Warrior into goading the cruiserweight champion, Howling Blade, into accepting a challenge in which he must retire if he loses his fight against the Warrior. Before that, she had asked her fans in the café into providing the required pressure for the Howling Blade to accept the challenge. Eventually, he did, on the condition that the Warrior gives up adventuring should he win. When the Warrior and Yaana realized, Honey left them pretty much speechless about how adored she is in Solution Nine.
Characteristics[]
Appearance[]
Honey B. Lovely is a tan-skinned Hyune with long, blonde hair. She wears a yellow and red coat, with grey pants and white shoes.
When fused with the feral soul of a queen bee, she grows in size and gains an ability to fly and wears yellow, black, and white dress, yellow-black stockings and black high heels with bee-kind features. She also carries a black halberd.
Personality[]
Honey B. Lovely puts on the airs of a darling. She has a happy and light-hearted idol persona as a Face, at first staying cheerful during her fight with the Warrior of Light, though the lyrics in her theme song infer that she craves the attention of her fans more than anything, never truly being satisfied in their adoration and always wanting more. She seems to be scared of fading away into obscurity, and fights hard to be the queen bee of the Arcadion. Her kayfabe begins to crack as the fight drags on, eventually shedding completely as she succumbs to rage and becoming visibly aggressive.
In spite of her love of the spotlight, she knows where her priorities lie & is willing to retire from the Arcadion with the possibility of her life on the line from threat of psychonekrosis. She also puts her networking skills as an influencer to work in order to assist the Warrior of Light and Yaana in catching Howling Blade.
