Bernard is the pilot of the Rescue Corps. Once the player has collected Sparklium × 7,000 and Bernard has been rescued, the player will gain access to Hero's Hideaway.

Bernard is the only member of the Rescue Corps not found in a normal way, as he is actually found as a leafling, more specifically a purple leafling. He is always the third leafling from a Dandori Battle to be cured, meaning Dash and Corgwin must be cured first.


Personality and Appearance

Bernard is short and dark-skinned with a oval-shaped head, slicked-back and spiked purple hair with three points, pointy ears, and blue-lensed aviators completely obscuring his eyes.

Bernard is quite enthusiastic and usually upbeat. He is stated by Shepherd to be a scrupulous flier despite his boisterous personality. When the player speaks to Bernard, he's quick to dole out advice and compliment them on what they do well.

Naming

Bernard's name alludes to St. Bernards. Santi's does as well, with his name being an anagram of "saint." This double allusion references the fact that Bernard and Santi have been in close contact ever since birth (much to Santi's chagrin).

Trivia
