Paula

Paula Polestar is one of the protagonists of the SNES video game Earthbound, and the only female of the bunch which also includes Ness, Poo, and Jeff Andonuts. She is known as an eleven year old PSI master who uses her abilities for offensive puropes, and apparently cannot perform healing PSI. Like the other party members, she can use baseball bats and yo-yos, amongst other weopons.

She'll join Ness once he saves her from the Happy Happy Cult, a cult lead by Mr. Carpainter. The cult believes that the key to happieness lays in the colour blue, as Mr. Carpainter is being manipulated by the Evil Mani Mani staue. Ness defeats Carpainter with the aid of the Franklin Badge.

Later on in the game she'll be kidnapped by the "Department Store Spook", where the rest of the team members must go off and save her. They must defeat the Department Store Spook and then follow Paula to Fourside's surreal twin Moonside.

During the final fight with Giygas, Paula is instrumental in defeating him. Giygas's third form is invulnerable to attacks. However, Paula's Pray command calls on the people the party has met throughout the game. Their compined power defeats Giygas.

It's recommended that you equip Paula with defensive armor, seeing that that stat is rather low, as are offense and vitality.

Pray
Paula's special ability is Pray, which will send off a random attack which can drastically save or hurt your team members. It's noted that you should use this command only during desperate times. The different effects of prey include -


 * Sublte Light - Seemingly the effect that occurs more than the rest of them. Will recover 6% HP for all your party members.
 * Warm Light - Double the effect of Subtle Light: Recovers 12% of HP for all party members.
 * Golden Light - Recovers all HP for a single party member.
 * Mysterious Light - Recovers just a little bit of PP for all party members.
 * Dazzling Light (type 1) - Will cause Flash on all party members and enemies.
 * Dassling Light (type 2) - So-so damage to a single enemy.
 * Mysterious Aroma - Puts all party members and enemies to sleep.
 * Heaven Rending Sound - Makes all party members sound strange.
 * Heavy Air - Will slightly decrease all enemy and party member defense for the rest of the battle.
 * Rainbow Colored Light - Revives all K.O.ed enemies and party members with full health.
