Rydia of Mist (ミストのリディア, Misuto no Ridia) is a fictional character in the Final Fantasy series. She appears in Final Fantasy IV[a] as one of its protagonists. She is able to summon entities, as can others from her village. She was created by Yoshitaka Amano. Her design in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years was controversial, resulting in it being censored for an international release.
She is the daughter of a summoner from the village of Mist. Her mother summons the Mist Dragon, who protagonist Cecil Harvey and his ally Kain Highwind killed in self defense. Upon the death of the Mist Dragon, Rydia’s mother also perishes. Rydia joins Cecil after he inadvertently destroys her village, not knowing that a package he was delivering was meant to destroy it. She is originally cold towards Cecil, although he would apologize and promises to protect her from harm. Rydia has received generally positive reception and is considered a fan favorite. She is considered one of the best Final Fantasy characters, and her outfit and hair design is considered iconic.
