'''Schala''' (サラ, ''Sara'') is the gentle, meek, and beautiful princess of [[Zeal]], and a major character in {{CT}} and {{CC}}. | |||

=== | ===Chrono Trigger=== | ||
Schala is the princess of [[Zeal]], and is the last wavy blue-haired woman to ever carry that title. Born into royalty, she was immediately identified as having a penchant for magic. Some speculated her ability surpassed [[Queen Zeal]]'s. When the [[Mammon Machine]] was constructed, she was given a special Pendant to control it and other Sealed Doors. Her brother [[Janus]] was said to have gotten along well with Schala. She deeply cared for her younger sibling and looked out for him. Perhaps only she and [[Melchior]] knew of Janus' true power as well, for Janus expressed feeling the Black Wind to her at times. Schala also visited [[Algetty]], where she entertained the children there and convened with the Elder. The people of Algetty later remarked that only Schala treated them as equals. After [[Crono]]'s team was captured in her era, she mercifully released them in hope that they would in turn free Melchior from | Schala is the princess of [[Zeal]], and is the last wavy blue-haired woman to ever carry that title.

After [[Crono]]'s team was captured in her era, she mercifully released them in hope that they would in turn free Melchior from Mt. Woe. Unfortunately, [[The Prophet]] forced her to seal the [[Gate]] from which they arrived after they went back through. | ||
After Melchior was freed and the party regrouped among the [[Earthbound Ones]], Schala noted that she had refused to help bring the [[Ocean Palace]] to full speed. [[Dalton]] soon kidnapped her, threatening to kill her if action were taken against him. There, she was forced to use the [[Pendant]] to unlock the Mammon Machine's full potential, which caused the Ocean Palace Incident. Aghast at the wild energies and dark auras erupting from the Machine, she attempted to stop it but was shocked into submission by her mother. In her last gesture, she transported [[Magus]] and the remaining party members away after Crono was killed in his attempt to save her and stop [[Lavos]]. This was her final appearance; she remained behind amid the collapsing palace. The only solace concerning her demise came at the ending of [[Chrono Trigger]], when Magus noted that he would search for Schala in 12000 BC without fail. After defeating Lavos, it would become his life's objective. | |||
One of the unexplained mysteries of [[Chrono Trigger]] is what occurred regarding Schala in the Lavos Timeline during the original Ocean Palace Incident. Since her pendant was passed down to [[Marle]], it is generally accepted that Schala was able to transport herself and possibly her mother out of the Palace before its collapse (her mother's absence tidily explaining why the Black Omen never originally arose). She also makes an apperance in the DS version of Chrono trigger as part of the [[Dream Devourer]], The secret final boss and the [[Time Devourer]]'s unevolved form. After you "defeat" the Dream devourer she has a conversation with the Magus from the time after Lavos' defeat. She regains self control for a limited time and teleports Crono's team away. She then tells Magus he cannot hope to save her as long as people lean on the crutch of power. The other Magus then becomes angry and erases his memories in an attempt to do as Schala asks and save her without "''power''". He finds he is in the woods with no memories except that he is in search of something, | |||

===Chrono Cross=== | |||
Schala's fate at the end of [[Chrono Trigger]] was finally revealed. In the Ocean Palace, Schala was consumed in a dimensional vortex that brought her to the Darkness Beyond Time with the ruined Mammon Machine. There, where [[Lavos]] sat defeated by Crono, she was cruelly absorbed by the monster, resulting in the Dream devourer (apparently, her fusion enabled [[Lavos]] the ability to consume time by having a way back into time or boosting his magical ability). The pure hatred and enmity of [[Lavos]] filled her mind, and she became split in wanting to destroy all existence and save the world and herself. This being was not complete, however, but eventually, the Dream devourer would mature and begin destroying the universe. However, as Schala remained bound to Lavos, she heard [[Serge]] crying from being wounded by a panther demon, and struggled with all her might to make contact with the time period 1006 A.D. This caused the magnetic storm that nullified the power systems of [[Chronopolis]] and allowed [[Serge]] to touch the [[Frozen Flame]] and become its Arbiter. | |||
Before the hatred in her mind took over, she also cloned herself in the form of [[Kid]] and sent the baby to [[Lucca]] at an unspecified time (though the cloning had to take place in 1004 A.D.). Given to [[Kid]] as well was her ancient pendant, for protection. Thanks to Project [[Kid]], [[Serge]] and his group were able to utilize the [[Time Egg]] and defeat the [[Time Devourer]]; using the [[Chrono Cross]], they restored the dimensions into one and seamlessly separated Schala from the evil entity binding her. She then delivered an oration on the struggle of lifeforms to truly achieve "life" and evolve into something beautiful and new entirely. Before [[Serge]] returned to his own time, she noted that she would find him someday. | |||
The last appearance of Schala in the Chrono series is, like her disappearance in [[Chrono Trigger]], painfully without stable ground. It is unknown where she goes after she is freed, or why finding [[Serge]] would be such an impossible task considering she knows that he is in 1020 A.D. Odd enough as well is the fact that she makes no mention of Magus, a brother who has devoted his life to finding her. However, the most enigmatic aspect of the ending is her deliverance of a few lines in [[Kid]]'s manner of speaking and her signing the ending journal entry as Schala "Kid" Zeal. This raises the question of whether the two were fused together, but considering that [[Kid]] had declared her independence on [[Opassa Beach]], and that we never see such a fusion, it is unlikely. Additionally, the issue of Schala giving her pendant to [[Kid]] and therefore not allowing Marle to receive it by way of Guardian heirloom is an old one. | |||
