'''Rab''' (ロウ, ''Rō''), also know by his formal title of '''Lord Robert''', is a character in ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]''. Despite his advanced age, he displays considerable abilities as a martial artist and magical prowess. He is a former king of [[Dundrasil]], and is the grandfather of the [[Luminary (Dragon Quest XI)|Luminary]].

==Appearance and personality==
Rab is an elderly gentleman with a bushy pair of eyebrows and matching mustache, and covers his bald head with a red fez. He wears a red open vest with intricate yellow patterns over a long-sleeved white tunic and a black sash worn around his waist. He also wears a pair of orange trousers, leather shoes worn with yellow socks, and he walks around with the help of a cane. Rab is also always seen carrying a large backpack.

Rab is a jolly old man who does his best to keep a positive attitude despite the tragedies his family has suffered in the past as well as the hardship he and his companions endure on their journey, often humming a tune to himself to relief stress. Rab rarely loses his temper with anyone, and even when he scolds a character he follows it up with sage advice gleaned from the experiences of his long life. In regards to monsters, however, Rab is much more ferocious and will typically have the most dynamic and aggressive [[Party chat|party chat]] just before boss battles and fixed encounters--he still carries a strong grudge for the assault on castle Dundrasil and murder of his daughter and son-in-law.

Rab is seen as a grandfatherly figure by all members of the party, especially [[Jade]] and the Luminary due to their shared past and blood relation, respectively. His laid back and casual demeanor made him a popular figure among [[Erdrea]]'s royals during his time as king-- and later advisor--of Dundrasil, speaking plainly and amicably with aristocracy and peasants alike. During his travels with Jade he has rubbed elbows with important figures in several towns, which makes certain accommodations much easier for the party in the present. Being a former disciple of [[Grand Master Pang]] during his childhood training in [[Angri-La]], Rab practices a daily fitness routine based on the martial art that can be seen when the party is camping. Rab is also a bit of a dirty old man, keeping a copy of the ''Ogler's Digest'' magazine on his person, and he longs to get a copy of the out-of-print first issue. He frequently comments on the more curvaceous women the group encounters, particularly bunny girls, and one of his pep abilities involves getting a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosebleed nosebleed] to power up.

Despite his eccentricities and the humor at his expense they often bring, Rab is just as determined to save the world from [[Mordegon|the forces of evil]] as the rest of his companions, seeking to avenge his fallen kingdom and family while guiding his grandson to be the ultimate hero of legend.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ11}}===
Rab is the former king of Dundrasil, leaving the throne when [[King Irwin]] married his daughter [[Queen Eleanor]] approximately 16 years ago. His wife had passed away sometime prior to this and is not shown within the game, but it is stated that she was a beautiful woman Rab first met at a bookstore in Dundrasil's castle-town. In accordance with the royal family's tradition of sending male heirs off the Angri-La to recieve martial arts training, Rab spent six years of his youth in the mountain temple learning the ways enlightenment via the path of the fist. Though the training itself was a success, Rab would become infamous amongst the monks for reviving no less than 10,000 strikes to his backside from Grand Master Pang's [[Naughty stick]], a "record" the exasperated woman doubts will be broken in her life time.

Sixteen years before the beginning of the game, a council of kings took place in Dundrasil to discuss the reincarnation of the fabled Luminary as Rab's newborn grandson. Catastrophe would strike on that very night, however, with the monster hordes of Mordegon siege Dundrasil to kill the infant before he can grow to challenge the evil sorcerer. Rab was unable to save the lives of his daughter and son-in-law and was barely able to escape the castle's destruction himself, but he did encounter princess Jade of [[Heliodor]] as she lay exhausted in the forest surrounding the castle. Having accompanied her father, [[King Carnelian]], to the king's council earlier that day, she had spent time playing with queen Elanore and the newborn Luminary when the monsters attacked. Being entrusted with the infant's life by the queen, Jade carried his basket into the forest and lost if over a waterfall as she fled her pursuers. Hearing her story, the hope that his grandson still lives took hold of Rab's heart and he set out alongside the princess to travel the world int he hopes of finding him.

Rab is first encountered by the party in [[Octagonia]] as a participant in the tournament alongside Jade. Without revealing his identity to the party, he assists in the battle against monster beneath the town and admonishes [[Vince Vanquish]] for relying on such dangerous stimulants to win his battles in the tournament, but agrees to keep the matter a secret as the young martial artist only did it for the good of the town's orphanage. Once the [[Yellow orb]] is claimed by the Luminary, Rab asks the group to accompany him and Jade to the ruins of Dundrasil where he explains the situation and his connection to the man. The party holds a candle light vigil for the fallen King and Queen, with Rab tearing up as he proclaims that their son is still alive.

The quiet ceremony is interrupted by the arrival of [[Hendrik]] and his soldiers arrive to arrest the Luminary, and the group temporarily disbands before reuniting to assemble the rest of the legendary orbs and ascend the rainbow bridge to [[Yggdrasil]]. When the Luminary takes the Sword of Light from the heart of the flying tree, the party is ambushed by King Carnelian, Hendrik, and [[Jasper]]. Defeated and moments from being killed, [[Veronica (Dragon Quest XI)|Veronica]] uses her magic to scatter her friends to the four corners of Erdrea and give them a chance to strike back against Mordegon.

Months later the Luminary, having temporarily lost his divine powers in a gamble by [[Queen Marina]] to keep his location hidden from Mordegon, finds Rab training at the zenith of the Angri-La mountain chain. He returned to the temple to begin his training all over again to prepare for a counterattack against Mordegon, and is found severely emaciated and in deep meditation--with an ogler's digest at his side. Overjoyed to see his grandson once more, the duo receive a special lesson from Grand Master Pang to learn the incredible [[Pearly Gates]] and [[Quadraslash]] skills. the two master their abilities and also discover the powerful [[Solar Flair]] pep combo attack, departing Angri-La to recover their remaining companions.

Rab is a [[Sage]], capable of using both offensive and recovery magic, including the [[Crack]], [[Zam]], and [[Whack]] series of spells. He also possesses characteristics of a [[Martial Artist]], being capable of wielding [[Claw Weapon Family|claws]]. He can also equip two-handed heavy wands. His armor choices are mostly limited to robes, lightweight clothing, crowns, and hats.

The '''[[Hero]]''' of ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]'', also known as the '''Luminary''', is a young man from the sleepy village of Cobblestone. After participating in a coming-of-age ceremony, he finds out he is the reincarnation of an ancient hero who once saved the world. On his 16th birthday, he sets out on his journey in order to fulfill his destiny.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Luminary has been given the default name '''Eleven''' in order to differentiate him from the other three Heroes appearing in the game, following the naming convention seen in the promotional material of other games.

==Appearance and personality==
He is a young man with blue eyes and dirty blond chin-length hair in a bob cut. On his left hand, he bears a mysterious mark that has appeared since the day he was born. The mark glows when the Luminary is in danger. He wears a long, sleeveless brown and purple leather tunic over a black long-sleeved shirt, brown trousers, and tan leather boots. Around his waist, he wears a leather belt with a small bag attached and he carries a scabbard across his back. The Luminary's good looks and hair are commented on by various characters.

Just like the protagonists of Dragon Quest he doesn’t speak at all. Ironically he spoke when he was about six. The personality depends on your choices. Spoiler alert!

You can be a complete liar or be truthful.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ11}}===
The Luminary is long-lost son of [[King Irwin]] and [[Queen Elanor]], the late rules of the fallen kingdom [[Dundrasil]] and the grandson of [[Rab]]. His birth his heralded as the reincarnation of [[Erdwin]], the hero of legend and enemy of the fabled [[Calasmos|Dark One]]. When he was a newborn, his parents were ambushed during a summit of the kings of [[Erdrea|the world]] to discuss the legend of the Luminary and what the prophecy will hold for the world, being held in the castle of [[Heliodor]]. The assault would lead to the death of Queen Elanor as she gave her son to [[Jade]], the princess of Heliodor to hide away and remained as a decoy to buy her time, and the assassination of King Irwin by the archfiend [[Mordegon]], who would possess the [[King Carnelian|the King of Heliodor]] to rule from the shadows.

Though Jade is able to escape the castle grounds, she loses her footing and the basket the Luminary is held is falls into a river and over a waterfall. By an unknown miracle the boy is unharmed, and the next day the basket is found by [[Chalky]], a resident of the small village of [[Cobblestone]]. A letter explaining the Luminary's heritage is enclosed in the basket, and Chalky takes the infant in and raises him as his grandson. Chalky's daughter [[Amber]] assumes the role of his mother, and the Luminary is raised as an ordinary boy in the village until his 16th birthday. Upon performing the traditional rite of manhood by climbing [[Cobblestone Tor]], with his childhood friend [[Gemma]] tagging along. When reaching the top of the rocky spire to complete the ceremony, Gemma is attacked by a monster and the Luminary's powers awaken in order to save her, casting a lightning spell that the entire village sees from the top of the tor. When the duo make it home safely, the truth is revealed to the Luminary and he is instructed to depart for Heliodor to learn more of his destiny. Unbeknownst to him, King Carnelian is still possessed by Mordegon, who proclaims that the Luminary is in fact the Darkspawn, who will bring ruin to the world if left unopposed. The Luminary is captured and is awaiting his execution in the dungeon when he encounters [[Erik]], a former thief who was imprisoned for stealing a priceless artifact from the castle. Erik has been told by [[The Seer|a prophet]] that journeying with the Luminary will ease his troubled past, and the two make a prison break while being pursued by the captain of the Heliodor guard, [[Hendrik]].

After escaping through a teleportal shrine that leads them to the city of [[Hotto]], the duo encounter a diminutive sorceress named [[Veronica (Dragon Quest XI)|Veronica]] who identifies the Luminary immediately and coerces him into helping rescue her hapless sister [[Serena (Dragon Quest XI)|Serena]] from a band of monsters. Upon the successful rescue, the sisters reveal themselves to be the Keepers--magic users from the city of [[Arboria]] who have sworn an oath to keep the Luminary safe at all costs and join the party. The group sets out to assemble the [[Six Orbs]] that will grant access to the floating tree [[Yggdrasil]] and allow the Luminary to save the world. The party travels to each major kingdom and city to uncover clues to each orb's location, first stopping at [[Gallopolis]] and aiding the witless prince while the flamboyant [[Sylvando]] insists upon joining the mission. The group's reward for the assistance is the [[Rainbough]], an enchanted branch of Yggdrasil that guides the party to the nearest orb.

From there, the party departs from [[Gondolia]] in Sylvando's personal vessel and makes its way to [[Octagonia]] after learning that an orb is one of the prizes for winning the city's martial arts tournament. Allying with the local orphanage caretaker and fighting superstar [[Vince Vanquish]], the Luminary enters the tournament and fights his way to the semi-finals. It is here that the Luminary encounters Jade and Rab for the first time in sixteen years, though being fellow participants in the tournament they keep their relation to the young man a secret at first. After resolving Vince's dependence on performance enhancers created by a monstrous spider that lurks underneath Octagonia, he and the Luminary agree to a one-on-one match for the finale to allow him to retire with dignity now that his body is weakening. With the orb now in hand the group stops by the ruins of Dundrasil with Jade and Rab accompanying. It is here where the teo explain their history with the Luminary, reveal the truth of Dundrasil's fall, and are ambushed by Hendrik and his soldiers. Taking a dive off the same waterfall the fell down before with Jade, the Luminary escapes his would-be captors.

Recovering after the incident, the newly expanded party continues their globe trotting adventure and retrieves the remaining orbs from [[Puerto Valor]], the undersea kingdom of [[Nautica]], the ruins of [[Zwaardsrust]], and the frozen northern territory of [[Snifleheim]]. With all six orbs assembled, the Luminary and his companions enter the city of Arboria and ascend into Yggdrasil itself. Reaching the core of the tree, the Luminary retrieves the sword of light and is ambushed by Jasper and King Carnelian. Jasper is protected by a barrier of darkness and defeats the party while Mordegon exists Carnelian's body and destroys Yggdrasil. The party is scattered to the corners of the world by a desperate Veronica, and the end of the world begins.

Several months pass, and the Luminary awakens in the form of a fish in Nautica. [[Queen Marina]] used her magic to transform him into this state to hide him from Mordegon. Nautica is being besieged by one of the archfiend's Spectral Sentinels, [[Alizarin]], and is blown to the surface by the Queen after restoring his form. The Luminary is rescued by a fisherman and sees that the Heliodor region is draped in perpetual darkness. Making his way to the ruins of Cobblestone, he finds the village has been turned into a shelter for refugees fleeing Mordegon's forces by Hendrik and Carnelian. Allying with a repentant Hendrik, the Luminary assaults the occupied Heliodor castle and kills [[Tyriant]] to restore light to the land. With the first blow against Mordegon's dominion over the world being struck and the Heliodor soldiers protecting Cobblestone, the Luminary and Hendrik set out to reassemble the party and confront the archfiend in his [[Fortress of Fear]].

As part of a collaborative series of events to commemorate ''Dragon Quest'' titles, the Luminary appeared as a summonable vision shortly after the international release of the game.

==Etymology==
A ''luminary'' is a person of prominence or great achievement, and the word can also be used to refer to one of the celestial bodies that gives off visible light. Specifically, this latter definition is used for the moon and sun in most astronomical discourse.

==Trivia==
* The Luminary is the first protagonist to not be referred to as Yuusha (勇者) in promotional material nor the game itself. Instead, the title of Shujinkō (主人公) is used, which means protagonist in Japanese.
* The Luminary has some similarities with some of the heroes from previous games:
** He comes from a lineage of previous heroes, much like the original [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Hero]] and the [[Prince of Midenhall]].
** He sets out on his journey on his 16th birthday, similar to [[Erdrick]]. As the story advances, he is able to wield the [[Erdrick's sword|Sword of Light]], also known as Erdrick's sword in other games.
** He was born with a mysterious mark on his left hand known as the Mark of Light, much like the Hero of ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. It grants him with mysterious powers and glows in times of danger.
** His inability to advance past the second tier of explosive spells is a reference to Erdrick and [[Solo]], who are also only able to learn up to [[Boom]].
**His family connections make him similar to both Erdrick and [[Eight]], as well. The Luminary finds out that his father, Irwin, was a great warrior himself much like [[Ortega]]. He is also secretly a prince from the kingdom of [[Dundrasil]] as revealed by [[Rab]], his maternal grandfather, much like Eight finding out about his royal lineage from his grandfather, [[Chen Mui]].
* In the international version of the game, there is a special costume that allows him to dress up like the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]] from '' VIII''. The outfit was added for the ''S: definitive edition'' version of the game in all regions.
* He is the first hero in the main series to have a voice actor in the English version of the games. English actor Rasmus Hardiker provides his vocal grunts in various scenes and in battle.
* In the international [https://www.famitsu.com/news/202001/11190471.html fan poll] for ''Dragon Quest XI'' released by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, the Luminary was voted the third most popular male character in the game and the fifth most popular character overall, with a total of 289 votes.
* The Luminary has the same hairstyle as Android 17 of [[Akira Toriyama]]'s Dragon Ball series, as well as a similar physique.

The '''[[Hero]]''' of ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]'', also known as the '''Luminary''', is a young man from the sleepy village of Cobblestone. After participating in a coming-of-age ceremony, he finds out he is the reincarnation of an ancient hero who once saved the world. On his 16th birthday, he sets out on his journey in order to fulfill his destiny.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Luminary has been given the default name '''Eleven''' in order to differentiate him from the other three Heroes appearing in the game, following the naming convention seen in the promotional material of other games.

==Appearance and personality==
He is a young man with blue eyes and dirty blond chin-length hair in a bob cut. On his left hand, he bears a mysterious mark that has appeared since the day he was born. The mark glows when the Luminary is in danger. He wears a long, sleeveless brown and purple leather tunic over a black long-sleeved shirt, brown trousers, and tan leather boots. Around his waist, he wears a leather belt with a small bag attached and he carries a scabbard across his back. The Luminary's good looks and hair are commented on by various characters.

Just like the protagonists of Dragon Quest he doesn’t speak at all. Ironically he spoke when he was about six. The personality depends on your choices. Spoiler alert!

You can be a complete liar or be truthful.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ11}}===
The Luminary is long-lost son of [[King Irwin]] and [[Queen Elanor]], the late rules of the fallen kingdom [[Dundrasil]] and the grandson of [[Rab]]. His birth his heralded as the reincarnation of [[Erdwin]], the hero of legend and enemy of the fabled [[Calasmos|Dark One]]. When he was a newborn, his parents were ambushed during a summit of the kings of [[Erdrea|the world]] to discuss the legend of the Luminary and what the prophecy will hold for the world, being held in the castle of [[Heliodor]]. The assault would lead to the death of Queen Elanor as she gave her son to [[Jade]], the princess of Heliodor to hide away and remained as a decoy to buy her time, and the assassination of King Irwin by the archfiend [[Mordegon]], who would possess the [[King Carnelian|the King of Heliodor]] to rule from the shadows.

Though Jade is able to escape the castle grounds, she loses her footing and the basket the Luminary is held is falls into a river and over a waterfall. By an unknown miracle the boy is unharmed, and the next day the basket is found by [[Chalky]], a resident of the small village of [[Cobblestone]]. A letter explaining the Luminary's heritage is enclosed in the basket, and Chalky takes the infant in and raises him as his grandson. Chalky's daughter [[Amber]] assumes the role of his mother, and the Luminary is raised as an ordinary boy in the village until his 16th birthday. Upon performing the traditional rite of manhood by climbing [[Cobblestone Tor]], with his childhood friend [[Gemma]] tagging along. When reaching the top of the rocky spire to complete the ceremony, Gemma is attacked by a monster and the Luminary's powers awaken in order to save her, casting a lightning spell that the entire village sees from the top of the tor. When the duo make it home safely, the truth is revealed to the Luminary and he is instructed to depart for Heliodor to learn more of his destiny. Unbeknownst to him, King Carnelian is still possessed by Mordegon, who proclaims that the Luminary is in fact the Darkspawn, who will bring ruin to the world if left unopposed. The Luminary is captured and is awaiting his execution in the dungeon when he encounters [[Erik]], a former thief who was imprisoned for stealing a priceless artifact from the castle. Erik has been told by [[The Seer|a prophet]] that journeying with the Luminary will ease his troubled past, and the two make a prison break while being pursued by the captain of the Heliodor guard, [[Hendrik]].

After escaping through a teleportal shrine that leads them to the city of [[Hotto]], the duo encounter a diminutive sorceress named [[Veronica (Dragon Quest XI)|Veronica]] who identifies the Luminary immediately and coerces him into helping rescue her hapless sister [[Serena (Dragon Quest XI)|Serena]] from a band of monsters. Upon the successful rescue, the sisters reveal themselves to be the Keepers--magic users from the city of [[Arboria]] who have sworn an oath to keep the Luminary safe at all costs and join the party. The group sets out to assemble the [[Six Orbs]] that will grant access to the floating tree [[Yggdrasil]] and allow the Luminary to save the world. The party travels to each major kingdom and city to uncover clues to each orb's location, first stopping at [[Gallopolis]] and aiding the witless prince while the flamboyant [[Sylvando]] insists upon joining the mission. The group's reward for the assistance is the [[Rainbough]], an enchanted branch of Yggdrasil that guides the party to the nearest orb.

From there, the party departs from [[Gondolia]] in Sylvando's personal vessel and makes its way to [[Octagonia]] after learning that an orb is one of the prizes for winning the city's martial arts tournament. Allying with the local orphanage caretaker and fighting superstar [[Vince Vanquish]], the Luminary enters the tournament and fights his way to the semi-finals. It is here that the Luminary encounters Jade and Rab for the first time in sixteen years, though being fellow participants in the tournament they keep their relation to the young man a secret at first. After resolving Vince's dependence on performance enhancers created by a monstrous spider that lurks underneath Octagonia, he and the Luminary agree to a one-on-one match for the finale to allow him to retire with dignity now that his body is weakening. With the orb now in hand the group stops by the ruins of Dundrasil with Jade and Rab accompanying. It is here where the teo explain their history with the Luminary, reveal the truth of Dundrasil's fall, and are ambushed by Hendrik and his soldiers. Taking a dive off the same waterfall the fell down before with Jade, the Luminary escapes his would-be captors.

Recovering after the incident, the newly expanded party continues their globe trotting adventure and retrieves the remaining orbs from [[Puerto Valor]], the undersea kingdom of [[Nautica]], the ruins of [[Zwaardsrust]], and the frozen northern territory of [[Snifleheim]]. With all six orbs assembled, the Luminary and his companions enter the city of Arboria and ascend into Yggdrasil itself. Reaching the core of the tree, the Luminary retrieves the sword of light and is ambushed by Jasper and King Carnelian. Jasper is protected by a barrier of darkness and defeats the party while Mordegon exists Carnelian's body and destroys Yggdrasil. The party is scattered to the corners of the world by a desperate Veronica, and the end of the world begins.

Several months pass, and the Luminary awakens in the form of a fish in Nautica. [[Queen Marina]] used her magic to transform him into this state to hide him from Mordegon. Nautica is being besieged by one of the archfiend's Spectral Sentinels, [[Alizarin]], and is blown to the surface by the Queen after restoring his form. The Luminary is rescued by a fisherman and sees that the Heliodor region is draped in perpetual darkness. Making his way to the ruins of Cobblestone, he finds the village has been turned into a shelter for refugees fleeing Mordegon's forces by Hendrik and Carnelian. Allying with a repentant Hendrik, the Luminary assaults the occupied Heliodor castle and kills [[Tyriant]] to restore light to the land. With the first blow against Mordegon's dominion over the world being struck and the Heliodor soldiers protecting Cobblestone, the Luminary and Hendrik set out to reassemble the party and confront the archfiend in his [[Fortress of Fear]].

The Luminary appears as a player avatar and is also featured on the artwork of several cards.

==={{SSB5}}===
The Hero of ''XI'', under the name Eleven, appears as one of four {{Hero Smash}}es, alongside the Heroes of ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|III]]'', ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|IV]]'', and ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|VIII]]''. He is the default Hero, and wields the [[Supreme Sword of Light]] and [[Erdwin's Shield]].

While playing as the Hero in Classic Mode, Eleven appears as Round 2's opponent and is fought at [[Yggdrasil's Altar]]. He is allied with a tiny, female Robin wearing her red alternate costume, in reference to [[Veronica (Dragon Quest XI)|Veronica]].

===''[[Final Fantasy]] Brave Exvius''===
As part of a collaborative series of events to commemorate ''Dragon Quest'' titles, the Luminary appeared as a summonable vision shortly after the international release of the game.

==Etymology==
A ''luminary'' is a person of prominence or great achievement, and the word can also be used to refer to one of the celestial bodies that gives off visible light. Specifically, this latter definition is used for the moon and sun in most astronomical discourse.

==Trivia==
* The Luminary is the first protagonist to not be referred to as Yuusha (勇者) in promotional material nor the game itself. Instead, the title of Shujinkō (主人公) is used, which means protagonist in Japanese.
* The Luminary has some similarities with some of the heroes from previous games:
** He comes from a lineage of previous heroes, much like the original [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Hero]] and the [[Prince of Midenhall]].
** He sets out on his journey on his 16th birthday, similar to [[Erdrick]]. As the story advances, he is able to wield the [[Erdrick's sword|Sword of Light]], also known as Erdrick's sword in other games.
** He was born with a mysterious mark on his left hand known as the Mark of Light, much like the Hero of ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. It grants him with mysterious powers and glows in times of danger.
** His inability to advance past the second tier of explosive spells is a reference to Erdrick and [[Solo]], who are also only able to learn up to [[Boom]].
**His family connections make him similar to both Erdrick and [[Eight]], as well. The Luminary finds out that his father, Irwin, was a great warrior himself much like [[Ortega]]. He is also secretly a prince from the kingdom of [[Dundrasil]] as revealed by [[Rab]], his maternal grandfather, much like Eight finding out about his royal lineage from his grandfather, [[Chen Mui]].
* In the international version of the game, there is a special costume that allows him to dress up like the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]] from '' VIII''. The outfit was added for the ''S: definitive edition'' version of the game in all regions.
* He is the first hero in the main series to have a voice actor in the English version of the games. English actor Rasmus Hardiker provides his vocal grunts in various scenes and in battle.
* In the international [https://www.famitsu.com/news/202001/11190471.html fan poll] for ''Dragon Quest XI'' released by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, the Luminary was voted the third most popular male character in the game and the fifth most popular character overall, with a total of 289 votes.
* The Luminary has the same hairstyle as Android 17 of [[Akira Toriyama]]'s Dragon Ball series, as well as a similar physique.

The '''[[Hero]]''' of ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]'', also known as the '''Luminary''', is a young man from the sleepy village of Cobblestone. After participating in a coming-of-age ceremony, he finds out he is the reincarnation of an ancient hero who once saved the world. On his 16th birthday, he sets out on his journey in order to fulfill his destiny.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Luminary has been given the default name '''Eleven''' in order to differentiate him from the other three Heroes appearing in the game, following the naming convention seen in the promotional material of other games.

==Appearance and personality==
He is a young man with blue eyes and dirty blond chin-length hair in a bob cut. On his left hand, he bears a mysterious mark that has appeared since the day he was born. The mark glows when the Luminary is in danger. He wears a long, sleeveless brown and purple leather tunic over a black long-sleeved shirt, brown trousers, and tan leather boots. Around his waist, he wears a leather belt with a small bag attached and he carries a scabbard across his back. The Luminary's good looks and hair are commented on by various characters.

Just like the protagonists of Dragon Quest he doesn’t speak at all. Ironically he spoke when he was about six. The personality depends on your choices. Spoiler alert!

You can be a complete liar or be truthful.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ11}}===
The Luminary is long-lost son of [[King Irwin]] and [[Queen Elanor]], the late rules of the fallen kingdom [[Dundrasil]] and the grandson of [[Rab]]. His birth his heralded as the reincarnation of [[Erdwin]], the hero of legend and enemy of the fabled [[Calasmos|Dark One]]. When he was a newborn, his parents were ambushed during a summit of the kings of [[Erdrea|the world]] to discuss the legend of the Luminary and what the prophecy will hold for the world, being held in the castle of [[Heliodor]]. The assault would lead to the death of Queen Elanor as she gave her son to [[Jade]], the princess of Heliodor to hide away and remained as a decoy to buy her time, and the assassination of King Irwin by the archfiend [[Mordegon]], who would possess the [[King Carnelian|the King of Heliodor]] to rule from the shadows.

Though Jade is able to escape the castle grounds, she loses her footing and the basket the Luminary is held is falls into a river and over a waterfall. By an unknown miracle the boy is unharmed, and the next day the basket is found by [[Chalky]], a resident of the small village of [[Cobblestone]]. A letter explaining the Luminary's heritage is enclosed in the basket, and Chalky takes the infant in and raises him as his grandson. Chalky's daughter [[Amber]] assumes the role of his mother, and the Luminary is raised as an ordinary boy in the village until his 16th birthday. Upon performing the traditional rite of manhood by climbing [[Cobblestone Tor]], with his childhood friend [[Gemma]] tagging along. When reaching the top of the rocky spire to complete the ceremony, Gemma is attacked by a monster and the Luminary's powers awaken in order to save her, casting a lightning spell that the entire village sees from the top of the tor. When the duo make it home safely, the truth is revealed to the Luminary and he is instructed to depart for Heliodor to learn more of his destiny. Unbeknownst to him, King Carnelian is still possessed by Mordegon, who proclaims that the Luminary is in fact the Darkspawn, who will bring ruin to the world if left unopposed. The Luminary is captured and is awaiting his execution in the dungeon when he encounters [[Erik]], a former thief who was imprisoned for stealing a priceless artifact from the castle. Erik has been told by [[The Seer|a prophet]] that journeying with the Luminary will ease his troubled past, and the two make a prison break while being pursued by the captain of the Heliodor guard, [[Hendrik]].

After escaping through a teleportal shrine that leads them to the city of [[Hotto]], the duo encounter a diminutive sorceress named [[Veronica (Dragon Quest XI)|Veronica]] who identifies the Luminary immediately and coerces him into helping rescue her hapless sister [[Serena (Dragon Quest XI)|Serena]] from a band of monsters. Upon the successful rescue, the sisters reveal themselves to be the Keepers--magic users from the city of [[Arboria]] who have sworn an oath to keep the Luminary safe at all costs and join the party. The group sets out to assemble the [[Six Orbs]] that will grant access to the floating tree [[Yggdrasil]] and allow the Luminary to save the world. The party travels to each major kingdom and city to uncover clues to each orb's location, first stopping at [[Gallopolis]] and aiding the witless prince while the flamboyant [[Sylvando]] insists upon joining the mission. The group's reward for the assistance is the [[Rainbough]], an enchanted branch of Yggdrasil that guides the party to the nearest orb.

From there, the party departs from [[Gondolia]] in Sylvando's personal vessel and makes its way to [[Octagonia]] after learning that an orb is one of the prizes for winning the city's martial arts tournament. Allying with the local orphanage caretaker and fighting superstar [[Vince Vanquish]], the Luminary enters the tournament and fights his way to the semi-finals. It is here that the Luminary encounters Jade and Rab for the first time in sixteen years, though being fellow participants in the tournament they keep their relation to the young man a secret at first. After resolving Vince's dependence on performance enhancers created by a monstrous spider that lurks underneath Octagonia, he and the Luminary agree to a one-on-one match for the finale to allow him to retire with dignity now that his body is weakening. With the orb now in hand the group stops by the ruins of Dundrasil with Jade and Rab accompanying. It is here where the teo explain their history with the Luminary, reveal the truth of Dundrasil's fall, and are ambushed by Hendrik and his soldiers. Taking a dive off the same waterfall the fell down before with Jade, the Luminary escapes his would-be captors.

Recovering after the incident, the newly expanded party continues their globe trotting adventure and retrieves the remaining orbs from [[Puerto Valor]], the undersea kingdom of [[Nautica]], the ruins of [[Zwaardsrust]], and the frozen northern territory of [[Snifleheim]]. With all six orbs assembled, the Luminary and his companions enter the city of Arboria and ascend into Yggdrasil itself. Reaching the core of the tree, the Luminary retrieves the sword of light and is ambushed by Jasper and King Carnelian. Jasper is protected by a barrier of darkness and defeats the party while Mordegon exists Carnelian's body and destroys Yggdrasil. The party is scattered to the corners of the world by a desperate Veronica, and the end of the world begins.

Several months pass, and the Luminary awakens in the form of a fish in Nautica. [[Queen Marina]] used her magic to transform him into this state to hide him from Mordegon. Nautica is being besieged by one of the archfiend's Spectral Sentinels, [[Alizarin]], and is blown to the surface by the Queen after restoring his form. The Luminary is rescued by a fisherman and sees that the Heliodor region is draped in perpetual darkness. Making his way to the ruins of Cobblestone, he finds the village has been turned into a shelter for refugees fleeing Mordegon's forces by Hendrik and Carnelian. Allying with a repentant Hendrik, the Luminary assaults the occupied Heliodor castle and kills [[Tyriant]] to restore light to the land. With the first blow against Mordegon's dominion over the world being struck and the Heliodor soldiers protecting Cobblestone, the Luminary and Hendrik set out to reassemble the party and confront the archfiend in his [[Fortress of Fear]].

The Luminary appears as a player avatar and is also featured on the artwork of several cards.

==={{SSB5}}===
The Hero of ''XI'', under the name Eleven, appears as one of four {{Hero Smash}}es, alongside the Heroes of ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|III]]'', ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|IV]]'', and ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|VIII]]''. He is the default Hero, and wields the [[Supreme Sword of Light]] and [[Erdwin's Shield]].

While playing as the Hero in Classic Mode, Eleven appears as Round 2's opponent and is fought at [[Yggdrasil's Altar]]. He is allied with a tiny, female Robin wearing her red alternate costume, in reference to [[Veronica (Dragon Quest XI)|Veronica]].

===''[[Final Fantasy]] Brave Exvius''===
As part of a collaborative series of events to commemorate ''Dragon Quest'' titles, the Luminary appeared as a summonable vision shortly after the international release of the game.

==Etymology==
A ''luminary'' is a person of prominence or great achievement, and the word can also be used to refer to one of the celestial bodies that gives off visible light. Specifically, this latter definition is used for the moon and sun in most astronomical discourse.

==Trivia==
* The Luminary is the first protagonist to not be referred to as Yuusha (勇者) in promotional material nor the game itself. Instead, the title of Shujinkō (主人公) is used, which means protagonist in Japanese.
* The Luminary has some similarities with some of the heroes from previous games:
** He comes from a lineage of previous heroes, much like the original [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Hero]] and the [[Prince of Midenhall]].
** He sets out on his journey on his 16th birthday, similar to [[Erdrick]]. As the story advances, he is able to wield the [[Erdrick's sword|Sword of Light]], also known as Erdrick's sword in other games.
** He was born with a mysterious mark on his left hand known as the Mark of Light, much like the Hero of ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. It grants him with mysterious powers and glows in times of danger.
** His inability to advance past the second tier of explosive spells is a reference to Erdrick and [[Solo]], who are also only able to learn up to [[Boom]].
**His family connections make him similar to both Erdrick and [[Eight]], as well. The Luminary finds out that his father, Irwin, was a great warrior himself much like [[Ortega]]. He is also secretly a prince from the kingdom of [[Dundrasil]] as revealed by [[Rab]], his maternal grandfather, much like Eight finding out about his royal lineage from his grandfather, [[Chen Mui]].
* In the international version of the game, there is a special costume that allows him to dress up like the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]] from '' VIII''. The outfit was added for the ''S: definitive edition'' version of the game in all regions.
* He is the first hero in the main series to have a voice actor in the English version of the games. English actor Rasmus Hardiker provides his vocal grunts in various scenes and in battle.
* In the international [https://www.famitsu.com/news/202001/11190471.html fan poll] for ''Dragon Quest XI'' released by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, the Luminary was voted the third most popular male character in the game and the fifth most popular character overall, with a total of 289 votes.
* The Luminary has the same hairstyle as Android 17 of [[Akira Toriyama]]'s Dragon Ball series, as well as a similar physique.

The '''[[Hero]]''' of ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]'', also known as the '''Luminary''', is a young man from the sleepy village of Cobblestone. After participating in a coming-of-age ceremony, he finds out he is the reincarnation of an ancient hero who once saved the world. On his 16th birthday, he sets out on his journey in order to fulfill his destiny.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Luminary has been given the default name '''Eleven''' in order to differentiate him from the other three Heroes appearing in the game, following the naming convention seen in the promotional material of other games.

==Appearance and personality==
He is a young man with blue eyes and dirty blond chin-length hair in a bob cut. On his left hand, he bears a mysterious mark that has appeared since the day he was born. The mark glows when the Luminary is in danger. He wears a long, sleeveless brown and purple leather tunic over a black long-sleeved shirt, brown trousers, and tan leather boots. Around his waist, he wears a leather belt with a small bag attached and he carries a scabbard across his back. The Luminary's good looks and hair are commented on by various characters.

Just like the protagonists of Dragon Quest he doesn’t speak at all. Ironically he spoke when he was about six. The personality depends on your choices. Spoiler alert!

You can be a complete liar or be truthful.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ11}}===
The Luminary is long-lost son of [[King Irwin]] and [[Queen Elanor]], the late rules of the fallen kingdom [[Dundrasil]] and the grandson of [[Rab]]. His birth his heralded as the reincarnation of [[Erdwin]], the hero of legend and enemy of the fabled [[Calasmos|Dark One]]. When he was a newborn, his parents were ambushed during a summit of the kings of [[Erdrea|the world]] to discuss the legend of the Luminary and what the prophecy will hold for the world, being held in the castle of [[Heliodor]]. The assault would lead to the death of Queen Elanor as she gave her son to [[Jade]], the princess of Heliodor to hide away and remained as a decoy to buy her time, and the assassination of King Irwin by the archfiend [[Mordegon]], who would possess the [[King Carnelian|the King of Heliodor]] to rule from the shadows.

Though Jade is able to escape the castle grounds, she loses her footing and the basket the Luminary is held is falls into a river and over a waterfall. By an unknown miracle the boy is unharmed, and the next day the basket is found by [[Chalky]], a resident of the small village of [[Cobblestone]]. A letter explaining the Luminary's heritage is enclosed in the basket, and Chalky takes the infant in and raises him as his grandson. Chalky's daughter [[Amber]] assumes the role of his mother, and the Luminary is raised as an ordinary boy in the village until his 16th birthday. Upon performing the traditional rite of manhood by climbing [[Cobblestone Tor]], with his childhood friend [[Gemma]] tagging along. When reaching the top of the rocky spire to complete the ceremony, Gemma is attacked by a monster and the Luminary's powers awaken in order to save her, casting a lightning spell that the entire village sees from the top of the tor. When the duo make it home safely, the truth is revealed to the Luminary and he is instructed to depart for Heliodor to learn more of his destiny. Unbeknownst to him, King Carnelian is still possessed by Mordegon, who proclaims that the Luminary is in fact the Darkspawn, who will bring ruin to the world if left unopposed. The Luminary is captured and is awaiting his execution in the dungeon when he encounters [[Erik]], a former thief who was imprisoned for stealing a priceless artifact from the castle. Erik has been told by [[The Seer|a prophet]] that journeying with the Luminary will ease his troubled past, and the two make a prison break while being pursued by the captain of the Heliodor guard, [[Hendrik]].

After escaping through a teleportal shrine that leads them to the city of [[Hotto]], the duo encounter a diminutive sorceress named [[Veronica (Dragon Quest XI)|Veronica]] who identifies the Luminary immediately and coerces him into helping rescue her hapless sister [[Serena (Dragon Quest XI)|Serena]] from a band of monsters. Upon the successful rescue, the sisters reveal themselves to be the Keepers--magic users from the city of [[Arboria]] who have sworn an oath to keep the Luminary safe at all costs and join the party. The group sets out to assemble the [[Six Orbs]] that will grant access to the floating tree [[Yggdrasil]] and allow the Luminary to save the world. The party travels to each major kingdom and city to uncover clues to each orb's location, first stopping at [[Gallopolis]] and aiding the witless prince while the flamboyant [[Sylvando]] insists upon joining the mission. The group's reward for the assistance is the [[Rainbough]], an enchanted branch of Yggdrasil that guides the party to the nearest orb.

From there, the party departs from [[Gondolia]] in Sylvando's personal vessel and makes its way to [[Octagonia]] after learning that an orb is one of the prizes for winning the city's martial arts tournament. Allying with the local orphanage caretaker and fighting superstar [[Vince Vanquish]], the Luminary enters the tournament and fights his way to the semi-finals. It is here that the Luminary encounters Jade and Rab for the first time in sixteen years, though being fellow participants in the tournament they keep their relation to the young man a secret at first. After resolving Vince's dependence on performance enhancers created by a monstrous spider that lurks underneath Octagonia, he and the Luminary agree to a one-on-one match for the finale to allow him to retire with dignity now that his body is weakening. With the orb now in hand the group stops by the ruins of Dundrasil with Jade and Rab accompanying. It is here where the teo explain their history with the Luminary, reveal the truth of Dundrasil's fall, and are ambushed by Hendrik and his soldiers. Taking a dive off the same waterfall the fell down before with Jade, the Luminary escapes his would-be captors.

Recovering after the incident, the newly expanded party continues their globe trotting adventure and retrieves the remaining orbs from [[Puerto Valor]], the undersea kingdom of [[Nautica]], the ruins of [[Zwaardsrust]], and the frozen northern territory of [[Snifleheim]]. With all six orbs assembled, the Luminary and his companions enter the city of Arboria and ascend into Yggdrasil itself. Reaching the core of the tree, the Luminary retrieves the sword of light and is ambushed by Jasper and King Carnelian. Jasper is protected by a barrier of darkness and defeats the party while Mordegon exists Carnelian's body and destroys Yggdrasil. The party is scattered to the corners of the world by a desperate Veronica, and the end of the world begins.

Several months pass, and the Luminary awakens in the form of a fish in Nautica. [[Queen Marina]] used her magic to transform him into this state to hide him from Mordegon. Nautica is being besieged by one of the archfiend's Spectral Sentinels, [[Alizarin]], and is blown to the surface by the Queen after restoring his form. The Luminary is rescued by a fisherman and sees that the Heliodor region is draped in perpetual darkness. Making his way to the ruins of Cobblestone, he finds the village has been turned into a shelter for refugees fleeing Mordegon's forces by Hendrik and Carnelian. Allying with a repentant Hendrik, the Luminary assaults the occupied Heliodor castle and kills [[Tyriant]] to restore light to the land. With the first blow against Mordegon's dominion over the world being struck and the Heliodor soldiers protecting Cobblestone, the Luminary and Hendrik set out to reassemble the party and confront the archfiend in his [[Fortress of Fear]].

==={{DQR}}===
The Luminary appears as a player avatar and is also featured on the artwork of several cards.

==={{SSB5}}===
The Hero of ''XI'', under the name Eleven, appears as one of four {{Hero Smash}}es, alongside the Heroes of ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|III]]'', ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|IV]]'', and ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|VIII]]''. He is the default Hero, and wields the [[Supreme Sword of Light]] and [[Erdwin's Shield]].

While playing as the Hero in Classic Mode, Eleven appears as Round 2's opponent and is fought at [[Yggdrasil's Altar]]. He is allied with a tiny, female Robin wearing her red alternate costume, in reference to [[Veronica (Dragon Quest XI)|Veronica]].

===''[[Final Fantasy]] Brave Exvius''===
As part of a collaborative series of events to commemorate ''Dragon Quest'' titles, the Luminary appeared as a summonable vision shortly after the international release of the game.

==Etymology==
A ''luminary'' is a person of prominence or great achievement, and the word can also be used to refer to one of the celestial bodies that gives off visible light. Specifically, this latter definition is used for the moon and sun in most astronomical discourse.

==Trivia==
* The Luminary is the first protagonist to not be referred to as Yuusha (勇者) in promotional material nor the game itself. Instead, the title of Shujinkō (主人公) is used, which means protagonist in Japanese.
* The Luminary has some similarities with some of the heroes from previous games:
** He comes from a lineage of previous heroes, much like the original [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Hero]] and the [[Prince of Midenhall]].
** He sets out on his journey on his 16th birthday, similar to [[Erdrick]]. As the story advances, he is able to wield the [[Erdrick's sword|Sword of Light]], also known as Erdrick's sword in other games.
** He was born with a mysterious mark on his left hand known as the Mark of Light, much like the Hero of ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. It grants him with mysterious powers and glows in times of danger.
** His inability to advance past the second tier of explosive spells is a reference to Erdrick and [[Solo]], who are also only able to learn up to [[Boom]].
**His family connections make him similar to both Erdrick and [[Eight]], as well. The Luminary finds out that his father, Irwin, was a great warrior himself much like [[Ortega]]. He is also secretly a prince from the kingdom of [[Dundrasil]] as revealed by [[Rab]], his maternal grandfather, much like Eight finding out about his royal lineage from his grandfather, [[Chen Mui]].
* In the international version of the game, there is a special costume that allows him to dress up like the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]] from '' VIII''. The outfit was added for the ''S: definitive edition'' version of the game in all regions.
* He is the first hero in the main series to have a voice actor in the English version of the games. English actor Rasmus Hardiker provides his vocal grunts in various scenes and in battle.
* In the international [https://www.famitsu.com/news/202001/11190471.html fan poll] for ''Dragon Quest XI'' released by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, the Luminary was voted the third most popular male character in the game and the fifth most popular character overall, with a total of 289 votes.
* The Luminary has the same hairstyle as Android 17 of [[Akira Toriyama]]'s Dragon Ball series, as well as a similar physique.

'''[[Veronica]]''' is a character in ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]''. She is a brash, prodigal mage who wields offensive spells and comes from the land of [[Arboria]]. Both she and her twin sister, [[Serena (Dragon Quest XI)|Serena]], are Keepers who have sworn themselves to protect and aid the [[Luminary (Dragon Quest XI)|Luminary]] on his journey.

==Appearance & Personality==
Veronica appears to be a very young girl with indigo-colored eyes and long blonde hair with a fringe worn in two braids, tied in orange hairbands at the ends. She wears a long red wizard's hat, a red dress with a large red bow in the front over a white smock with puffed sleeves, blue bracelets, and purple leather shoes with orange socks. She also carries a very large [[Heavy Wand (weapon type)|wand]] topped with a red orb that is much taller than her.

She is a strong-willed magical prodigy, but hates being treated like a child. This is due to the fact that Veronica is actually older than she appears, but after an encounter in [[Hotto]] with monsters serving the [[Mordegon|Lord of Shadows]], her appearance was transformed into that of a young girl and she temporarily lost her magical powers. With the aid of the Luminary and [[Erik]], Veronica was able to rescue her sister Serena and defeat the monster who stole her powers, [[Jarvis]], but she did not return to her true age. Despite her displeasure at her childish form, Veronica enjoys getting piggyback rides from [[Hendrik]] due to his height, something that she wouldn't be able to do normally.<ref>[[Dragon Quest XI Character Book]]</ref>

Although she has an abrasive personality and frequently clashes with others, Veronica has a kind heart and frequently worries about her younger twin due to Serena's haplessness. Since the two sisters traveled alone for some time, Veronica enjoys sitting around the campfire with her companions, especially watching Serena perform with her harp. Her favorite type of food is spicy and her most prized possession is the flute that she received from the elder of Arboria. She relieves stress by arguing with Erik. Veronica's ambition is to become a magic teacher when peace is achieved.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ11}}===
Veronica and her twin sister, Serena, are the descendants of the sage [[Serenica]], who accompanied the original Luminary [[Erdwin]] on his journey against the [[Calasmos|Dark One]]. The two hail from the land of Arboria and are Keepers, a group of people dedicated to protecting the Luminary and helping him fight against the evils of Erdrea. The two girls have known since birth that they would aid the Luminary on his journey, eventually setting out from their hometown after the Elder of Arboria received a vision that the Luminary had reappeared in the world.

Veronica is a [[Mage|mage]], being capable of casting an array of powerful offensive spells in battle, including the [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], [[Bang]], and the majority of the [[Crack]] series of spells, as well as access to some useful utility spells such as [[Sap]] and [[Decelerate]]. However, she has some of the lowest max HP and Resilience in battle, so care must be taken that she does not fall victim to the enemy's attacks in battle. Her weapons of choice are heavy wands and whips and her equipment is limited to robes and other pieces of clothing and hats for spellcasters.

Veronica appears as a DLC costume for the [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Mii_Swordfighter_(SSBU) Mii Swordfighter].

==Etymology==
Veronica is the Latin alteration of the name Berenice, a name which means "bringing victory". The spelling of Veronica is influenced by the Latin phrase ''vera icon'', which means true image, possibly referring to Veronica's transformation and her true fate. Veronica is the name of a saint who lived in Jerusalem in the 1st century AD who famously wiped Jesus's face with a cloth and then found his image imprinted on it. It became a popular girls' name in medieval times due to this legend. It was not common in modern times until the 19th century, when the name was brought from France and Scotland.

The word ''vim'' is an antiquated adjective that describes someone as being very lively and full of high energy.

==Trivia==
* Veronica and Serena bear some similarities to the sisters [[Maya]] and [[Meena]] from ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'':
** Veronica and Maya are users of offensive magic, while Serena and Meena use restorative and defensive magic.
** The two pairs share near identical appearances (although Maya and Meena are not twins). Veronica and Maya have fringes in their hair, while Meena and Serena do not.
** The personalities and temperaments of both pairs of sisters are very different from each other. Veronica and Maya are brash, impulsive, and fiery, while Serena and Meena are more level-headed.
** Veronica is the older of the two twins and Maya is a few years older than Meena.
* She is able to dress like [[Stella]] and High Priestess [[Jacqueline]] by equipping certain pieces of armor.
* Veronica is the only party member who has the same name in the original Japanese and English versions of the game.
* In her child form, Veronica is 110 cm tall, or 3 feet and 7 inches.
* In the international [https://www.famitsu.com/news/202001/11190471.html fan poll] for ''Dragon Quest XI'' released by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, Veronica was voted the second most popular female character in the game and the fourth overall, with a total of 506 votes.
