Primera "Prim" Black, originally known as Primera Blanche, and known in Japanese as Plimela (プリメーラ, purimēra), is Billy Lee Black's young sister.
Biography[]
Primera was born to Jesiah and Racquel Blanche two years after they escaped Solaris and moved to the Aquvy area.
A year later, her father Jesiah (or Jessie, as he began to be called) suddenly disappeared. This would turn out to be as planned, as Jessie had joined Gaspar's troops to defend Shevat against Solaris and Gebler, and did not want his children to be interrogated due to his involvement.
Two years later, when Primera was three, Wels attacked her home. Racquel hid her two children behind a grandfather clock, intent on driving the Wels back with her firearm. Unfortunately, Racquel was unable to stop them, and was killed in the attack.
In the aftermath, Billy was left with a sense of powerlessness, and Primera became mute. Their life was hard as Billy tried to provide for he and his sister, to the point that he nearly offered his body for money. Bishop Issac Stone soon came to their rescue, convincing Billy to entrust Primera to a Church facility instead, so that Billy could study to become an Etone at the Ethos monastery.
Influenced by her trauma, when Billy became an Etone, he took it upon himself to start up an orphanage so as to not have any more children end up like her.
Unlike Billy, she was warm towards their estranged father, Jessie Black, despite his four years absence, despite Billy's discomfort. Likewise, she was distant to Bishop Stone.
Xenogears[]
Elly and Bart rescue her from human traffickers onboard the Thames. With this, they're able to gain a favor from Billy's connections in the Ethos to help remedy Fei's critical injuries at the hands of Kahran Ramsus.
She is selectively mute until Bishop Stone is killed. Though she calls out to her father, she wouldn't say Billy's name, much to his visible angst.
She joins the crew of the Yggdrasil and settles in with Marguerite "Margie" Fatima and Chu-Chu. She will provide written information for the player about how to manage the use of Billy's guns while he's outside the party, and give Billy supportive words while he's in the party.
Trivia[]
- A character in Xenosaga named Luty is similar to Primera, as she stopped talking when her planet was destroyed by the Gnosis.
