PRINCESS FARAH '']] Farah in ''The Sands of Time'' In the , Farah is the beautiful daughter of the Maharaja of India . After her father's kingdom had been attacked by King Sharaman of Persia she is kidnapped by one of the persian invaders and is kept as a slave. She is also one of few survivors who were not changed when the Sands Of Time were realeased. This is mainly because of the Medallion she is wearing. She initially detests the Prince for not only capturing her and her kingdom, but also for being responsible for unleashing the Sands of Time. Yet, they are forced to work together to undo the Prince's mistake and ensure that the Vizier does not use the Sands of Time for evil. Over the course of the game, as Farah and the Prince cooperate, they become very close to each other, yet neither of them dares to speak the love they feel for each other. The tension that exists between the two ultimately culminates into a romance. It is highly hinted upon that the couple had sexual intercourse (but due to its "T" rating, nothing is made clear and is left to the player to spectulate what actually happened in the dream-like sequence), the Prince awakens upon the top of a tomb (where the two had originally fallen), only to discover that the Dagger of Time is missing, along with his sword. Not only that, but Farah herself has gone missing as well. Protected by the medallion, he chases the young woman throughout the ruins of the Tower of Dawn upon realizing she was going to use the Dagger to fix time herself. Unfortunately, the Prince arrives too late to save Farah from being knocked over the edge of a hole in the floor above the Treasure Vault of the tower. He grabs hold of the blade end of the Dagger in a desperate attempt to save her, but Farah lets go upon seeing the Prince grimacing in pain and bleeding over the dagger. The Prince is unable to save her from death. Upon defeating the hordes of Sand creatures Farah was originally battling against, the Prince puts the Sands back into the Hourglass. All that has happened becomes forgotten (by all but the Prince) and Farah will have no recollection of their romance, as time will reverse itself to the events prior to the game. Throughout the game, it is implied that the Prince is telling a story of some sorts to somebody. The introduction cinematic shows him entering someone's room and explaining the concept of time. Lines spoken during the game when the Prince dies ("No, no, no, that didn't happen..." - "No, she didn't die, may I start again?") and when the game is saved ("Shall I start the story from here next time") further suggest the Prince is narrating a story. After the Sands of Time are returned to the Hourglass and the Prince visits Farah in her bedroom, it is revealed that the Prince was telling the story to Farah, and that the tale was actually the events of the entire game that was just played. This was done with the intentions of warning her about the attack and her traitorous adviser, the Vizier. After the Prince defeats the Vizier, Farah questions why he opted to tell her "such a fantastic story" over the truth that her father's trusted informer would betray them, obviously in disbelief over Prince's tale. He kisses her out of passion, but she is outright offended by his bold move. The Prince, realizing his mistake, rewinds time with the power of the Dagger for one final time and then hands her the mystical weapon. Before he leaves, Farah asks him his name and the Prince simply replies, "Just call me, 'Kakolukia'". He vanishes, leaving Farah in a state of surprise and realization. "Kakolukia" was her secret word that her mother uttered whenever Farah was scared to make her feel safe. At one point in the game, Farah explains the secret word and its significance to the Prince. Thus, his uttering the word in the final cinematic is intended to suggest to Farah that his story must be true. Otherwise, there is no possible way he could have ever heard or even known of the significance of the word before. Farah is voiced by actress Joanna Wasick in ''The Sands of Time''. Farah's Help Although Farah is delicate and gentle, she helps The Prince in fighting monsters. With her bow she is able to shoot them from a long distance and she's very helpful in killing birds, which are out of reach for Prince's sword. Despite her help she can also sometimes cause trouble by missing and hitting the Prince instead. Due to her thin physique, Farah can also slide through holes in walls and trigger switches the Prince cannot reach. Additional Appearance Though Farah is one of the main characters in '''' but with a darker look and personality. Farah in ''The Two Thrones'' '']] Although events chronicled in ''The Sands of Time'' never occurred, seven years have passed since we last knew Farah. Over time, she has become a little wiser - and has matured as a person. Farah has been taken to Babylon against her will. Imprisoned by the merciless Vizier who ravaged India, Farah was not simply locked up in a dungeon. Instead, she was placed inside a cage and carted around as one of his "pets". The humiliation she could deal with. What scarred Farah was being forced to watch as her city was destroyed while she was rendered completely impotent in the face of such a monstrous act. There was nothing she could do to save them. This guilt eats away at her - and motivates her quest once she inadvertently meets the Prince in Babylon. Before all of this, she spent her days alternating between the pursuit of knowledge (and has taken an intense interest in politics and history) and honing her battle skills. She continued to favor the bow - considering distance combat far more effective. Graceful and quick, but lacking The Prince's acrobatic prowess, she's more than capable of handling herself. And when overwhelmed, she's often able to escape, thanks to her superior running skills. She also retains the patented ability to squeeze through even the smallest cracks and remains quick-witted and clever. Having spent years amongst the nasty back-biting nobles of the Indian court, she's learned how to stand up to the cruellest of them. She's fiercely independent and resents any pretense of chivalry, which she views as nothing more than thinly veiled chauvinism. She aimed to prove someday that women have just as much right to political power as men, although it isn't reveiled if she feels the same way after the events of The Two Thrones is over. Farah thinks she seeks vengeance for what happened, but she truly seeks is absolution. However, she is frequently distracted from it by the suffering citizens of Babylon. She makes it her personal mission to ease their pain and rescue anyone she can. Some of her people are among the prisoners as well, having been dragged to Babylon during the invasion. She is also extremely empathetic, and sensitive to the suffering of others. While this makes her a kind and caring person, it is also a weakness - sometimes distracting her from the bigger picture. While The Prince may be a bit too concerned with killing his enemy, Farah has forgotten that in order to TRULY end the suffering of both the Persians and the Indians - she will have to face this monster that is the Vizier. However, Farah only receives the chance to spit in his face. She is taken captive by the Vizier, who intends to change her into a sand monster as well. He finds it only fitting, as the Prince robbed him of four of his finest allies, so should he take Farah as his bride. This does not happen however, as the Prince defeats the Vizier in an epic battle and saves Farah. But the real battle was regretably unfinished as the Prince still suffered from the shadow of the Dark Prince in his mind, exclaiming, "All that is yours is rightfully mine... and mine, it will be!" Farah helps guide the Prince out of the dream world created by the Dark Prince. Telling him to, "''stop chasing this shadow, turn away, leave this place''". The shadow screams for the Prince to turn back as he ascended a staircase, leading up towards a bright cleansing light. Farah waits on the Prince as he comes to, celebrating that it is all finally over. As the two look out over Babylon, Farah asks the Prince, "''But one thing still bothers me Prince. How did you really know my name?''" The Prince smiles, running his fingers through her hair, as he begins to tell her the story that he started some seven years and a different timeline ago. "''Some believe that time is like a river, flowing swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of time, and I will tell you, they are wrong. Time is like an ocean in a storm. You may wonder who I am and why I tell you this, come, and I will tell you a tale like none you have ever heard...''" Farah is voiced by voice actress Helen King in ''The Two Thrones''. THE OLD MAN The Old Man has been watching over The Prince since he was a child. He treated The Prince as his own son, also sometimes acting like his mentor. He appears only in cutscenes, and appears to be very wise, and he knows a great deal about the Sands of Time themselvers and their creation place, The Island Of Time . In the Two Thrones, he gathers the remaining citizens of Babylon to fend of the Vizier's army long enough for the Prince and Farah to enter his castle. KAILEENA Kaileena helps The Prince by giving him advice and stronger swords. She and the Prince first meet when Shahdee (for reasons unknown at the time) struggles to kill her, The prince beats Shadee and asks Kaileena for information. She frequently tells the prince not to continue his journey as she announces that his fate connot be changed. The Prince continues his journey nonetheless. More About Kaileena |
