Appearances[edit | edit source]

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit | edit source]

"You are that classic character… The irrepressible clown…

When others are engaged in serious conversation, you are busy trying to think of ways to make them laugh…

When you see someone working away seriously at something, your first urge is to lift their spirits with a joke…

You are always making others laugh, and for this, you are well-loved…

But look within… Is this the real you? I think you know the answer…

Underneath it all, you are a delicate soul… Easily hurt, and quick to sadden…

So you wrap your true self up in the armour of japery for fear of being hurt…

One who uses humour to deflect attention from their true self… This perhaps describes you best…

But it cannot last forever…

As you grow older, your jokes will inevitably grow tired…

And one day, no one will be laughing any more…

When that day comes, you will yearn for years gone by…

But it will be too late… That is why you must learn to take things seriously—lest your whole life become a bad joke…"
