— Fortune Teller in Termina to Orlha

Orlha (オルハ, , Oruha^?) is a character in Chrono Cross and is the fighting barkeeper of Guldove; a strong woman skilled in the art of combat.

Story

She originally lived with her family in El Nido, including her sister Tia, but an unknown tragedy occurred that separated the group, leaving her with only her father. Orlha learned to fight as she grew up, eventually gaining reputation as a strong combatant. She then took over the bar in Guldove, serving drinks while wondering about her sister. She felt her sister was alive, though perhaps part of another world. She kept a Sapphire Brooch on her, a reminder of the day of the tragedy, in which it split in two (one half going to her sister). She continued to live optimistically despite her loss; when Doc came to her bar while Kid reeled from poison, she urged him to forget the past and press on. Later, when Porre invaded El Nido, she fought them out of Guldove with her bare hands, only succumbing to Serge's party after they arrived. Orlha then gave Serge, who had the body of Lynx, her brooch, so that after Serge regained his body she would know it is him. Once Serge achieved this end, Orlha accompanied him on his quest, eventually going to Doc's Clinic in Home World. There, she found Tia; mentioning that she was meeting her sister for the first time, she shared a teary moment as Tia faded from life. Tia told Orlha that she had just awoken from a long dream; in her dying breath, she gave her the other half of the brooch, and it became a complete Blue Brooch. As Orlha departed, Tia appeared to her as a spirit, and claimed she would always be with Orlha; Orlha then learned her final technique, "SisterHoods."
