Presea is the chief Artisan of Cephiro and  is the only one who can weld evolving weapons for the Legendary Magic Knights. She's tall, skinny and utterly smiling. She wears her long ripe wheat colored hair in a high ponytail; a golden wreath with a single red jewel frames her head and her fringe, parted in the middle to show the shiny stone, smoothly flows down over her ears. A pair of sincere brown eyes enhances the disarming charm of her smile. Her working suit stands in striking contrast with her refined figure: Orange long sleeved shirt partly covered by a yellowish armored apron and gloves; her long legs, clad in orange end in a pair of matching reinforced shoes. Presea's outfit drastically changes when she crafts weapons, becoming a long transparent-white sleeveless dress, barely locked by a wrought round jewel. Presea can't cast spells, but her unique skill of weapon crafting is granted by willpower, so in a way she can use magic. When she crafts weapons it's a beautiful ceremony of dance, very different from what the Knights imagined about blacksmiths.

Escudo is the legendary magic mineral of Cephiro, the only material suitable for use in the construction of weapons for Magic Knights. Escudo-based weapons evolve to suit the user's skill increase. Being Presea the only one who can turn Escudo into the most powerful weapons of all, she was very aware of the "Legend of the Magic Knights" who would come when Cephiro faced a crisis, and of her role in it: as Master Creator she would be the one to supply them with the special weapons. Slightly after their arrival on the planet, the girls get immediately directed at the borders of the Forest of Silence where Presea lives, because having their own swords is the first step to become a Magic Knight. During her first encounter with the Knights she immediately started to space off and think about how to punish the girls who intruded her home without even asking for their names. She was then abruptly drawn back to reality by Mokona who was happily messing around with some paper and she didn't realized until Fuu pointed it out. Therefore she lost interest in them an started laughing in delight while catching the mischievous Mokona in one of her traps. However, after the girls got a chance to state their position, she immediately showed them her most professional behavior and serious side, explaining in detail their business there and the necessary quest to Eterna. When the Knights successfully accomplished their first mission, fetching Escudo, she finally turned it into the Knights' personal swords, which would become in their last shape the very key for Mashins. In the manga she simply collapsed for the effort leaving the girls on their way to the Shrine of Water, while in the anime she gets killed by Ascot's monsters hand in order to fulfill her task as Creator. Her sad fate does not hinder her "presence" in the second part of the show, even if  under the shape of her twin sister Sierra. She's just nearly exactly the same as Presea, the only other difference between them is they wear different clothes. Basically the only thing that could tell them apart is a birthmark on Sierra which Presea didn't have. It seems that Sierra loves Clef too and this just makes it even more harder for anybody to know she wasn't the person she claimed to be, but Clef knew from the start. In accord with this latter's will, the Knights were never told of Sierra's true identity. Sierra is also a Pharle in Cephiro, her skills are nearly as good as her sister's: she managed to repair Hikaru's sword after Nova broke it.

Presea has a playful streak which confuses the Magic Knights when they first meet her, as she is eager to devise a suitable "punishment" for them. But she is also a very caring and competent weapons crafter, a person devoted to her duty, honest and a little funny at times. She likes to wander into her own dream world, losing all attention to the outside reality, but on the whole she is a precious and reliable ally for the girls. Clef entrusted Presea with Mokona in her house near the Forest of Silence where spells can't be cast, briefly explaining her the Legendary Knights would soon come there for her help as Creator and for the fluffy white being. She silently accepted this heavy burden for her planet's sake and for her own sense of duty. From her actions, it is relatively obvious that she is in love with Clef, though she knows painfully one sided. Though she may appear to be a frolicsome and mischievous woman, she takes her responsibility by hearth and has a great amount of faith invested into Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu. Moreover, when the Knights brought her the Escudo she puts her entire heart and soul into creating the legendary weapons for her new friends almost passing out for the effort. She sure gets a kick out of torturing Mokona, though....

Comic profile:

In Cephiro, all weapons (both functional and ceremonial) are made by Pharles. The top Pharle in Cephiro, Presea is the only one capable of making weapons from the legendary mineral, Escudo. She doesn't always listen to what people are telling her and she has a tendency to get lost in her imagination. When she crafts weapons it's a beautiful ceremony of song and dance, very different from the blacksmiths of Earth.
