Parthenope, also known as Bella Donna and Serpentina, is an enemy in Final Fantasy V fought in Phoenix Tower. She frequently appears with Cherie and Lemure, making them quite the terrible trio due to their incessant use of status-inflicting moves.

Battle[]
Parthenope uses Entice, which confuses a party member. Her Reverse Polarity will switch the player party members' rows randomly, and the Blue Magic spell Roulette will be used frequently to cause Instant Death to a random target.
Coral Rings, useful in the fight against Leviathan, can be stolen from Parthenopes. They are also the first readily available source of the Blue Magic spell Roulette.

Etymology[]
Parthenope is one of the Sirens in Greek mythology. Her name means "Maiden-voiced".
The Japanese name, Komusa Bera, may be a reference to Vera Komissarzhevskaya, one of the great actresses of Russia. It could also come from comme ça, bella; comme ça is French for "like this" whereas bella is a female-designed Italian adjective that means "beautiful".
