Amitie is a cheerful, female citizen of Primp Town. She hopes to someday become a "wonderful magic user" (ステキな魔導師 suteki na madōshi). She appears to be naive, as she is often immature, and sometimes does not understand simple jokes or puns. Amitie is a main protagonist introduced in Puyo Puyo Fever and Puyo Puyo Fever 2.
Biography
Personal History
Despite her friendly personality, very little is known about her early life.[3]
Appearance
Amitie's most iconic feature is her red Puyo hat. While she is sometimes seen hat-less, she is almost always never without it. The hat's design underwent changes, but they all have the face of a Puyo. Under her hat, her hair is feathered and blonde, and she has green eyes. Hearts are a prominent feature in her design.
In Puyo Puyo Fever, the red Puyo hat has wings, and she wears a blue sleeveless turtleneck shirt with a heart, a belt, yellow shorts decorated with hearts, a green bracelet on her right arm, and red platform shoes with folded cuffs and yellow laces. The hat is known to show some expression. Her original outfit also appeared in the mobile game Puyo Puyo Zurashi and the Mobile version of Puyo Puyo Fever.
In Puyo Puyo Fever 2, her clothing slightly changed: yellow sleeves were added to her shirt, the eyes on her red Puyo hat were made bigger, her belt is now a fannypack with a heart buckle, and she now wears red boots with purple socks. Her second outfit also appeared in the mobile game Puyo Puyo Fever Habanero and Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary.
In Puyo Puyo 7, she changed her clothes to the black blazer, tie and skirt, the uniform of Suzuran Junior High. However, her tie is red. Her socks were made light blue and calf-high with a single stripe, and her hat is now in the form of a beanie. Her bracelet is now worn on her left wrist instead.
Her outfit in Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary changes into an outfit comprised of elements from her original design and Fever 2. Her shirt is sleeveless again, except this time it is a pink and blue hoodie with a flower/clover clip. Her belt is similar to her Fever appearance, and wears the shoes and socks from Fever 2. Her Puyo hat maintains the beanie-shape from Puyo Puyo 7 and is exhibited to be more expressive.
Her outfit in Puyo Puyo Tetris is the same as in Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary, but her shirt now has two flower/clover buttons, and her red shoes from Puyo Puyo Fever 2 have higher ankles, giving it a boot-like appearance. The hat also is a little droopy now and pulled back.
Personality
Amitie is a bright, happy, and extroverted young magician, not to mention incredibly friendly given her namesake. She's friendly to the point of naivety, tending to misunderstand important jokes or let vital points of information get past her, but she has a pure heart. She is shown to be ambitious, wanting to become a wonderful sorceress, though she lacks skill in magic. At times, she has moments where she feels like a liability due to her incompetence but is willing to put her mind into overcoming her weakness. In spite of her childishness, she is sometimes able to recognize possibly dangerous situations, and has suspicions about characters such as Lemres and Risukuma, finding them slightly unnerving or even scary.
Amitie easily befriends others but can be a little lacking in her social skills, which in turn leads to her being a bit clumsy.
Abilities
Amitie draws parallels with fellow protagonist Arle, in that she, too, also casts elemental magic in the form of Flame, Blizzard, and Lightning Bolt. Her spells Fairy Fair and Accelerate/Accel parallel Arle's Heaven Ray and Diacute respectively and she shares the spell Bayoeen with her. As Arle's presence became more prominent, Amitie's spells began to diverge, using spells such as Blast Beat or Cyclowhirl in place of Blizzard, and Ekrixis or Aktina in place of Lightning Bolt.

Relationships
- Arle
- SEGA draws certain parallels between Arle and Amitie, including shared animation-sets and similar moves in Puyo Puyo Fever and similarities between poses of animations in Puyo Puyo 7.
- Ess
- Amitie's generally naive attitude regularly tests Ess' very limited patience. The two, however, do have moments of mutual understanding, and can work fairly well together, such as in their 'ladylike battle' in Chapter 3, and when the group are trying to find a solution to Ex's problem in Chapter 7.
- Klug
- Klug is Amitie's classmate. Klug often pokes fun at her for her study habits and childish attitude, but Amitie holds no negative feelings towards him and views him as a friend.
- Lidelle
- Lidelle is Amitie's classmate and friend. Lidelle has shown that she's wanted to be closer with Amitie and to spend more time with her. She has mentioned being jealous of Amitie's hat because it gets to be with her all the time.[4] They are also frequently together in the audio dramas, such as in Volume 7 where they have a track dedicated to touring around Primp together.
- Ms. Accord
- Despite Accord frequently withholding information from her, Amitie shows trust and respect for Accord as an authority figure.
- Raffina
- Raffina usually says disdainful comments to or about Amitie because of her own pride. Amitie, however, seems to respond to her attitude with kindness. It is assumed that this is due to her childlike, kind nature. In Puyo Puyo Tetris, Amitie expresses her concern for Raffina due to her strange behavior caused by the impending Puyo Puyo and Tetris worlds merge. After battling her and returning her back to normal however, she blatantly expresses that she has "mildly tolerable unpleasantness", indicating that Amitie may be aware of Raffina's unpleasant approach to her.
- Ringo
- Amitie and Ringo seem to be close in the games and novels and can usually be seen together.
- Sig
- Sig is one of Amitie's closest friends from Primp Town. Amitie is very supportive of Sig, helping him if she feels something is bothering him. In the novel Sig's Secret, she is very surprised when Sig unexpectedly quits the preparations for the cafe. In Puyo Puyo Tetris, Amitie brings up a memory of Sig to battle, and mentions that she's always wanted to tell him something. The memory-Sig interrupts her, saying that she should tell the real Sig. In Schezo's DLC chapter Amitie confronts the dark mage, who is looking to take Sig's left hand. She attempts to block Schezo's progress, saying that Sig asked her to protect him.
- Red Puyo Hat
- Amitie's red Puyo hat is said to have special powers and has led her several times to speculate about her purpose. The speculation has been pushed aside after Puyo Puyo Fever 2, but its significance has been brought to attention several times. It becomes a plot point in her story in both Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary and is central to her route in Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary, and is briefly discussed in the Japanese version of Puyo Puyo Tetris, when each of the three protagonists must battle someone from their memory. Amitie's opponent is Sig, and she mentions that recently when she looks at him, her red hat reacts. The exact details are left unknown because the Sig in her memory tells her that she should tell that to the real Sig.
- In the novel Everyone's Dreams, Coming True!?, Schezo implies that the hat protected Amitie, Arle, and Ringo from the effects of the Dream Mist.
Trivia
- Her birthday, May 5th, is the Japanese national holiday Children's Day, chosen perhaps to reflect her childish personality.
- Her name is likely inspired by the French word for "friendship" which is amitié or the English "amity", which both mean "friendship".
- Her talent is stacking Puyo on her head.[5]
- She dislikes mushrooms.[5]
Alternate Voices
- In Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary, her voice becomes lower-pitched, like Arle, Schezo, Maguro and Ecolo in same game.
- In Puyo Puyo Tetris, she has an atmosphere with heart mark attached to the end, and her voice becomes lower-pitched.
- In the English version, she speaks more formally with a British accent and at a lower pitch, sometimes trilling her "Rs". This could be a reference to her "Lady-like" voice in Act 3-4 of Adventure mode.
- In Puyo Puyo Chronicle, the voice pitch is almost the same as normal, but it sounds more spoiled.
- In Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, her voice becomes childlike, reminiscent of her Mini Puyo Fever voice from Puyo Puyo 7, but with a softer tone. She shares this motif with her fellow magic school students Sig, Klug, Raffina and Lidelle. Also, all "Sa" lines changes to "Sha" lines, except spell 2, which changes to "Cha".
- In the English version, she speaks with a serious tone, akin to Arle and Raffina in the original Puyo Puyo Tetris.
- In Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop, her voice sounds quieter and she sometimes splits her sentences, akin to Feli.
- In the English version, she speaks more formally with a British accent and at a lower pitch, sometimes trilling her "Rs", similar to her alternate voice in Puyo Puyo Tetris.
