[edit] Biography

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Ciela rescues Link after he gets washed up on the shore of Mercay Island, and becomes his fairy companion. After Link completes the Temple of Courage, it is revealed that Ciela is the Spirit of Courage, and she split her soul in two when she was attacked by Bellum, which caused her amnesia. During Link's fight with Bellum, it is revealed that Ciela is also the Spirit of Time, as well as Courage. She then provides Link with Phantom Spheres, which allow Link to temporarily stop time and defeat Bellum. After the final battle, Ciela says goodbye to Link and Linebeck.

Interestingly, Ciela regularly uses some of Navi's infamous lines, although with far less frequency. Her voice acting is provided by Kaori Mizuhashi, who also voiced Navi.

Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.

[edit] Gameplay

In-game, Ciela is used as a cursor. The Nintendo DS stylus directs where she goes, and tapping will make Link move, attack, etc. in her direction. Unlike the fairy cursor in the Wii version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Ciela is actively involved in the game's storyline. The other two spirits can also take over when they are active, but Ciela always takes their place to speak to Link. When a Phantom Sphere is activated, Ciela is frozen along with the rest of time despite being the Spirit of Time.
