- — Cloche —
Cloche Leythal Pastalia (クローシェ・レーテル・パスタリエ, Kurōshe Rēteru Pasutarie) (known as Chroche Latel Pastalie in the Japanese version) is one of the main heroines of Ar tonelico II. She is the highly respected Holy Maiden of the Grand Bell, which aims to create more land for the people – Metafalica. This means Cloche is one of the leaders in the campaign against the Goddess, Frelia, who has been refusing to allow the people to create more land for no apparent reason.
She at first is harsh, demanding, often borders on rude, and incredibly distrustful of others. As a celebrity with such an attitude, she often takes compliments from people such as Luca with a grain of salt. Though she appears confident on the surface, Cloche constantly doubts herself, always feels as though she bears a great responsibility, and feels she can’t get anything accomplishes. She feels so troubled that she’s thankful to find Sasha, one of the very few people to treat Cloche like a normal person – due to ignorance of her status, an additional rarity. Less hidden is Cloche’s immense love for Gergo products, to the point where she befriended a fellow Gergo enthusiast, Cocona, because of it.

[edit] Cloche's Story
[edit] Origins
Cloche is true daughter of Reisha and Batz Trulyworth, and the younger sister of Luca. Her true name is Leyka Trulyworth. Early in the game, at the mere age of three years old, Cloche had an outbreak of I.P.D. disease that was such a high level that she was taken away from her home and to the Grand Bell. She experienced much cruelty there, and when she was desperate to escape the cruelty, she told she'd be let out if she took a new name - Cloche Leythal Pastalia - and if she became the new Holy Maiden. However, she was Holy Maiden in name only, as she was truly baptized as the Maiden of Aqua, which enables her to control Infel Pira.
As the Holy Maiden, Alfman spent much money raising her. She was effectively a figurehead of the Grand Bell, yet she still had political clout and she was used heavily for it, from stamps of approval to speeches against the Goddess. She often disagreed with Alfman's schemes, but he'd reject any proposals she made. Still, he admitted she had good ideas and was well suited for politics herself. Even so, he had complete control over her life and subjected her to a lonely life, and Cloche herself had to be restrained with how she treated others.
[edit] Rakshek Resort Disaster
Early in the game, Cloche is attacked at Rakshek Resort while on vacation. When Croix and Cocona, who were sent to aid in the fighting, reach her, Leglius sends her to hide with them as he holds off the enemy. While being pursued, Croix asks for her Song Magic to aid in battle, to which she begrudgingly agrees to use, though she holds it against Croix, often saying he should be strong enough to protect her. After the attack, they don't get far when they're attacked yet again by Shun, who is the first of many to call Cloche the Maiden of Disaster, much to her annoyance. After dealing with him, the three end up meeting Luca in Rakshek, who immediately rubs Cloche the wrong way. The mere fact that Luca is a Dive Therapist disgusted Cloche, as she feels it's a vulgar occupation.
Her anger switches to the Divine Army in Rakshek, even to the point that she would directly confront the very people who tried to kill her in the resort. She was stopped, and takes it as a message from Croix that she isn't strong enough to win, so she demands that he Dive into her, not realizing that it's an embarrassing thing to demand. Naturally, she boots him out faster than he can even get a word in, proving how little faith she had in others. Luca had to initiate a proxy dive to force Cloche to allow Croix in.
On the way to Luca's house, she proves she isn't accustomed to traveling and has to take a break at the General Store, where she miraculously meets a person who doesn't recognize her - Sasha. Cloche instantly attaches to her, even allowing Sasha to address her by "Sister Clo" because she liked being treated as a normal person. When she makes it to Luca's house, she also instantly clicks with Reisha, even wanting to help her out with the cooking in return for the hospitality. Additionally, she takes her first bath with Luca there, but truly showed she lived the life of luxury when she needed Luca's help to get her outfit off.
She finally reunites with Leglius at the Coal Mine and learns that the Goddess sided with the Divine Army. Cloche discusses obliterating her foe, though Luca protests saying she's being too draconian, but Cloche completely shuts off her opinion. After Cloche runs out of life extending agent, Croix is the one to give her more, though she complains the entire time, despite later reflecting he was incredibly gentle. However, she doesn't have much time to complain with the Divine Army chasing her, as she gets attacked and is told she'll bring damnation upon the world. Luca is the one who keeps them away, however.
Upon returning to Reisha's house, Luca finds out that she isn't the real child of Reisha and leaves for Enna, where she believes she'll find out something about herself. Contradictory to her earlier attitude towards her, Cloche decides to follow Luca, and she even shows a manipulative side to her knights, saying they surely wouldn't let anything bad happen in Enna.

[edit] Hymns
METHOD_REPLEKIA/. - Changes Infel Phira into its Replekia mode, allowing all the IPDs to connect with Cloche and pour all of their feelings into any Song Magic she sings to greatly boost its strength.
METHOD_IMPLANTA/. - Restores the data from Infel Phira's backup memory banks to the time before the execution of Hibernation, allowing to reverse any damage caused by it.
METHOD_METAFALICA/. - Half of the Metafalica Hymn. Changes Infel Phira to its Metafalica mode, which it's the mode optimized for the creation of the Metafalica continent. However, without the execution of the EXEC part, this song cannot create the continent.
EXEC_with.METHOD_METAFALICA/. (together with Luca) - The succesful Metafalica hymn that gives birth to the continent that everyone in Metafalss dreamed with.
