When my child's strength faltered and the last breath was drawn... My light revived Ori, a new age had dawned.
~ The Spirit Tree's narration

Summary

Ori is a Spirit Guardian and the main protagonist of Ori and the Blind Forest. A long time ago, a leaf was stolen away from the Spirit Tree during the Great Storm and came under the care of Naru to form them. Due to being away from the Spirit Tree, Kuro strikes to steal the light away from the tree. This causes decay and corruption across Nibel, in which they go out to restore the land with the help of Sein, along with learning abilities along the way from deceased Spirit Guardians.

Reappearing as the main protagonist of the series again in Ori and the Will of the Wisps, they raise Ku, the daughter of Kuro, alongside Gumo and Naru. During a flight lesson in a different region named Niwen, they get separated during a storm. They are attacked by an undead Owl named Shriek while Ku gets badly damaged. As Ku is near her death, they undertake the task to help restore Niwen as a hero once more and in hopes of saving Ku.

Ori and the Blind Forest

Ori's story begins on the night of the Great Storm, a powerful weather event that rips them free of the Spirit Tree's branches before they were born and carries them as a glowing leaf on the wind. Naru, who had been observing the storm from afar, sees Ori's leaf float by her and immediately investigates. Upon landing in the foliage, Ori is "born" into their real form. Naru, seeing the small creature as one who needs protection, takes Ori into her embrace and acts as their adoptive mother.

Sometime later, Ori awakens to a scenic summer day and Naru's smiling face. With their nearby fruit trees running low on fruit, the pair spend the day working together to build a bridge across a long stretch of water, gaining access to more plentiful specimens. After having, at last, made it to the other side at night time and enjoying the delicious fruit in the quietude of night, Ori wraps a bunch of the fruit in their arms and heads back to their cave to store it for later. However, before they can make it inside, Ori sees the Spirit Tree from afar ablaze with light, unaware that the flood of illumination is calling for them. Naru, worried for Ori's safety, takes hold of her stunned child and hurries them inside out of harm's way.

Unaware that what they witnessed would eventually lead the Nibel's ruin, Ori and Naru slowly eat their supply of fruit until only a single piece was left. Naru unsuccessfully attempts to find more, but the slow decay of the forest means it is near impossible. After Naru insists Ori take the last piece for themself and realizing that they would both starve without more food, Ori sets out into the barren wasteland of what was once beautiful forest and discovers untouched fruit on a high branch of a tree. After shaking it down to the ground, Ori makes their way back home, thinking back on happier memories from before the forest turned blind. Ori eventually returns to the cave and offers Naru the fruit they have found. Naru does not answer. With mewls of concern for their mother, Ori tries to wake her up, but with no avail. Realizing that Naru had died of starvation in an act of selflessness for them, Ori lays down on her body, devastated by the loss.

Ori decides to leave their lifelong home shortly after, with no reason to stay now that the only parent they ever knew was dead. As they journey deeper into the decaying forest, Ori becomes very weak without food or the supporting light of the Spirit Tree. They trudge aimlessly forward into withering darkness, each step growing more and more difficult until it all becomes too much. Ori falls from exhaustion and draws one last breath. Upon their death, thousands of tiny white flowers grow and chase away the cloud of darkness, revealing that Ori had nearly made it to the Spirit Tree. Sensing that his child had fallen, the Spirit Tree uses the last of his strength and light to revive Ori, ultimately starting the game.

After being revived, Ori travels through the Sunken Glades and encounters a mysterious light. They find out that this light is Sein, the eyes and source of the Spirit Tree's light. Sein becomes Ori's guide and support from that point onward and the pair of them travel to the Spirit Tree himself. It is here that Ori learns why Nibel began to decay: during the Light Ceremony that was intended to call Ori back home, the Spirit Tree and Ori's kin were attacked by a malevolent force, Kuro. She stole Sein from the Spirit Tree's branches and disrupted the balance of the three Elements of Light, throwing Nibel into chaos. Sein tells Ori that the Spirit Tree's light is now inside them and that the fate of the forest now rests on their shoulders. Hearing about how they must travel to the Ginso Tree, Forlorn Ruins and Mount Horu in order to restore the Elements, Ori travels forth with the determination to save their home.

During the journey to restore the Element of Waters, Ori encounters Gumo, a member of the Gumon race who had become corrupted by Nibel's decay. Though initially having to contend with Gumo's traps in order to take back the Water Vein, Ori frees Gumo from being pinned down by large rocks, an act of kindness that eventually brings the Gumon back to the light. After restoring the Element of Water, Ori encounters Kuro for the first time and is nearly sent to their second death being flung from the heights of the Ginso Tree. Gumo repays Ori's kindness with some of his own and saves the spirit, leaving them to see the waters restored.

Ori and Sein travel into the Misty Woods in order to unlock the Forlorn Ruins. After having found the Gumon Seal, they enter the Ruins to find them frozen over in a terrible cold. The Gumon who lived there all perished in the freeze, leaving Gumo as the sole survivor. After reaching the heart of the ruins and vowing to restore the Element of Winds in memory of the Gumon, Gumo overhears Ori's intentions and decides to repay them by taking the Light Vessel back to Ori's home. After escaping the Ruins, Ori and Sein find themselves in Kuro's nest and discover the true reason why she attacked the Spirit Tree: the Light Ceremony had accidentally killed her three hatchlings from its intensity, leaving only one egg left and causing Kuro to attack in her rage. Kuro herself then appears, forcing Ori to dive from her nest and flee.

With only the Element of Warmth to rekindle, Ori and Sein set out to reach Sorrow Pass and then eventually Mount Horu. At the same time as Ori finding the Sunstone needed to enter the mountain, Gumo arrives back at Ori's home with the Light Vessel and discovers Naru's body. With Ori's kindness and forgiveness inspiring him, Gumo uses the Vessel's light to revive Naru. Together, the pair of them travel to the mountain at the same time that Ori enters its depths. Through skill and courage, Ori beats the mountain's trials and finally rekindles the Element of Warmth. Before they have the chance to celebrate however, Kuro appears and forces Ori to escape the rising fires. Though nearly making it back to the Spirit Tree to restore Nibel, Kuro knocks Ori unconscious just as Naru makes her way through the burning forest. As Naru cradles Ori in her arms, Kuro watches and realizes that she has become the monster she saw the Spirit Tree as; killing the children of others. Seeing what she had done, and also finding her egg on the edge of burning, Kuro sacrifices herself, returning Sein to the Spirit Tree and dying from the light.

The Spirit Tree returns balance to Nibel. As Naru and Gumo watch from afar with Kuro's unborn chick in their care, Ori stays with the Spirit Tree and watches their fellow Spirit Guardians fall and be born from the Tree's branches.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

Shortly after Ku's birth, Naru, Ori, and Gumo help raise Ku in Nibel for the span of a few years. After a few failed flying lessons, Ku was discouraged, prompting Ori to use Kuro's feather to allow Ku's deformed wing the capability to fly. With Gumo's aid, the pair became successful in their flight, taking their voyage around Nibel and soared over to a different region called Niwen. However, a storm separates the pair, with Ori landing in Inkwater Marsh and Ku landing in the Silent Woods.

While searching for Ku, Ori learns that Niwen has been suffering from the Decay for a long period of time, and encounters Shriek, an orphaned owl who was born with deformities caused by the Decay. While evading Shriek, Ori manages to reunite with Ku, only for the moment to cut short by the undead owl's presence. They then try to search for the feather in order to return home, while being hunted by Shriek. Just when they corner the feather in a brach in an open space, it is blown away by Shriek's arrival as she corners them. She tries to attack Ori causing them to be thrown into a pit, while Ku tries to attack Shriek to defend Ori. After flinging Ku off of her, Shriek walks over to Ku who is unknowingly cornered at a ledge. Ku tries to stand up to her as Shriek crushes Ku under her stone bone spear limb while sending the owlet off the edge.

Ku is found by Ori and the Moki in critical condition and brought back to Kwolok's Hollow, where The Voice of the Forest surrounds Ku with a field of flowers trying to help her, but as Kwolok explains to Ori, it is currently too weak in its own dying state to fully heal her. This is because, with the Spirit Willow's passing, the light it carried broke apart and scattered all across Niwen, leaving the forest vulnerable to corruption and decay. If The Will of the Wisps: the Memory, Eyes, Strength, and Heart of the Forest are brought back together in time with the Voice to reform Seir, the Spirit Willow's light, all of Niwen, including Ku can be saved.

Ori eventually becomes successful in forming Seir, but along the way, Kwolok, who aided in the search for the Strength of the Forest, dies from injuries caused by the Stink Spirit's control at Luma Pools and learning of a prophecy of a guardian spirit returning to Niwen to restore life to the forest in Windtorn Ruins. They run into another encounter with Shriek. After Seir prevents Shriek from attacking the pair, Ori attempts to befriend Shriek but is rejected instead due to Shriek's childhood trauma. Ori and Seir head to the site of the Spirit Willow and learn that Ori will have to embrace Seir's light in order to replace the dying Spirit Willow and save Niwen at the cost of Ori's old life.

Before Ori and Seir could merge, Shriek attacks the pair one more time, separating them, before engaging Ori in a grueling duel for the fate of Niwen that tore the dying Spirit Willow and Weeping Ridge asunder. Ori successfully defeats Shriek but is also wounded in the process. Ori limps their way to Seir and reflects on their past memory of their time with their family and in Niwen before accepting the new responsibility as Niwen's Spirit Tree in order to save Ku. Ori's sacrifice restores Niwen to life and heals Ku as well as her disabled wing.

Naru, Ku, Gumo, and a small group of Moki head to the site of Ori's merging, and witness Ori's spirit tree sprouting. Over the course of a number of years, Naru and Gumo help Ori's spirit tree grow. Naru eventually passes away, lying at the Tree's roots. Now having grown into a giant spirit tree, a spirit leaf flies away from Ori's tree branch to begin a new life.

  • Optional Equipment: Light Vessel

Intelligence: Genius (Has managed to solve many complex puzzles throughout the series. These puzzles vary from using enemy attacks to travel in specific ways in 360-degree utilization, using Kuro's Feather for flight during these sections, and requiring very precise navigation in order to avoid death. Effectively uses all of the skills they learn for exploring and overcoming the obstacles of an area with the exceeding ability to use them all naturally)

Standard Tactics: Ori will usually activate a Soul Link first, which comes off as being a thought-based action. This makes sure that Ori can't truly die as killing them just sends Ori and Sein back to the moment they first initiated the Soul Link. It should be noted that opponents are absolutely unaware of this (unless they can perceive temporal phenomenons such as restarting the fight to do it over again) while Ori and Sein both are aware of this. From there, Sein utilizes Danmaku to overwhelm people while Ori will do largely physicals. Should these strategies fail, they will obviously adapt to different strategies. This becomes more diversified with optional equipment as well. One more thing to note is that they can use Soul Link multiple times, so they could unleash it again as the new state when they gain the upper hand.

Weaknesses: None notable

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Spirit Flame: Being Sein's main strategy for offensive, this skill has it utilizing flames being shot at enemies in order to harm them. As there are later upgrades to this, it increases the target count to more foes and the number of rays that are being outputted (not to discredit the speed and power of it increasing as well). It rains down as a Danmaku attack with both fire and light beams.
  • Wall Jump: This skill focuses on the natural acrobatic skill of Ori, as they are now able to bounce from vertical surface to surface and jump higher against it. Ori uses this skill as a means of reaching places they couldn't previously access, and they also use it for mix-ups in combat.
  • Charge Flame: This is Sein's other main offense as it involves it concentrating energy, then outputting it into an explosive burst of light. The technique has destructive and large radius properties to it, as it is able to break through sealed areas of stone with ease and can generally catch most foes off guard to deliver a vital if not fatal blow in the midst of combat.
  • Double Jump: Upon learning this skill, Ori has incorporated it into its main skillset when it comes to acrobatics. This allows for greater horizontal and vertical travel to be achieved, whilst doing flips and curls in the air as a way of using agility to its favor. This skill is later improved on as well with the Triple Jump ability to add another additional jump for height.
  • Bash: Ori takes advantage of this skill by using it as a means to reflect attacks with enhanced perception time. It can be used most commonly to reflect back projectiles of various different compositions such as fire, ice, acid, and general energy just to name some. It can also be used as a means of redirecting physical attacks, along with inducing switcheroos to disorient opponents since the attack allows Ori to view events in slow motion. It can be aimed anywhere omnidirectionally.
  • Stomp: With this skill unlocked, Ori is able to curl up into a ball and slam their body down with great momentum and force. It can be used as a way to break and bypass the armor on enemies, along with slamming with another force to break stone platforms.
  • Kuro's Feather: After an encounter with Kuro outside of the Misty Woods, Kuro endured a rockfall which caused confusion and violent slamming until she left. From the area she slammed into it, she left a feather that Ori took during the adventure. It is useful for gliding past dangerous areas, flying further into the air, and it can effectively ride the wind current when generated.
  • Climb: This skill allows Ori to scale surfaces vertically without having to worry about losing grip. From it, this ability can be used also to perform Charged Jumps angled anywhere precisely as long as it doesn't end up going back to the wall. This is also combined with all of the other acrobatic abilities.
  • Charge Jump: Through focusing (though not having to cease all function), Ori can make use of this skill for achieving great height and off of walls. It charges up the amount of energy being put into a jump and unleashes it to gain more notable height.
  • Light Burst: Unlocking this skill permits Ori to throw bluish spheres of light at targets. This can be primarily used to produce light from lanterns by lighting them up, though it can be utilized for offensive purposes as well. Another important thing is that it can be used in conjunction with Bash in order to achieve great heights for travel and in fights.
  • Dash: Speed in short bursts is the main idea of this skill as Ori is capable of zooming passed the area as fast as the wind. When utilizing it, Ori can perform different variations of it with them being able to a grounded zoom, a version in the air, and a charged variant that automatically homes in on the enemies nearby. Regardless of the version, all of them leave afterimages in their wake.

Key: Ori and the Blind Forest | Ori and the Will of the Wisps | Spirit Tree (Fused With Seir)

Note 1: Sein acts dependently on Ori in order to work in combat. It is because of this that Sein's abilities are added to Ori's profile as he practically operates as an extension of Ori. However, it should be noted that Sein is only present in Ori and the Blind Forest before becoming one with the Spirit Tree again. As such, Ori doesn't maintain the presence of said abilities, aside from his own, throughout Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Though, Ori does regain them when becoming the new Spirit Tree in Niwen.

Note 2: This profile assumes an end-game Ori for both Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. As such, all abilities and skills are automatically mastered by the time the game ends with full access to their arsenals. This is to not unnecessarily differentiate keys more than needed and because there is not a concretely discernable beginning, middle, and end phase of the game with specific abilities other than through assumptions.
