Background

Paula Jones is one of the main protagonists of MOTHER 2 (localized as EarthBound). She is the first to join Ness, and is the only female supporting protagonist in Mother 2. She uses frying pans as her main weapon, and is also very adept in various PSI skills. She is a resident of Twoson in the country of Eagleland, and the daughter of the owners of the local Polestar Preschool, until she gets kidnapped to be used as a human sacrifice for a blue cult in Peaceful Rest Valley. After she is rescued by Ness, she permanently joins him on his quest to defeat Giygas.

Paula's prayer is ultimately a key part of the game, as she must use it nine times to defeat Giygas in the final battle.

Standard Tactics: Paula is the "black mage" character of Mother 2. She has lower physical stats than her teammates, though to compensate, she has access to powerful offensive PSI. She will usually fight using her offensive PSI, though she also has the capability to support herself and her team due to having access to PSI Shield to block enemy PSI attacks, as well as Offense Up to raise the strength of the team and Defense Down to lower the durability of her enemies. While not something she can control, her ability to pray can trigger one of several effects to happen, the most useful of which being a golden light that fully restores the Hp of one ally. If she runs low on Pp, she will either consume an item to recover it or siphon Pp from PSI using enemies.

Weaknesses: Low durability compared to other characters at her level. Can't use healing PSI. Unable to interact with anything as a ghost.
