She belongs to a race called the Winged People and runs a clothing shop in the town of Cyanodes, also referred to as Kiyanoides. Her cheerful and outgoing personality makes it easy for her to talk to anyone and form friendships quickly. She is very fond of cute things and has a passion for fashion, often trying to dress up other girls, particularly her close friend Nephelia, in a variety of bold and unconventional outfits. Manuela was the first friend Nephelia made after her arrival, and she remains a loyal and supportive companion. She is also trusted by the powerful sorcerer Zagan, who values her optimism and straightforward nature. Manuela does not display any notable combat abilities, but her social skills, upbeat demeanor, and expertise in fashion are her defining traits. Her motivation largely centers on enjoying life, making others happy through her clothing, and maintaining her friendships. Throughout the story, she serves as a consistent source of warmth and levity, helping Nephelia adjust to her new life and occasionally providing practical assistance to Zagan and his circle.
