Relm Arrowny (Japanese: リルム・アローニィ, Hepburn: Rirumu Arōnī) is a character in the 1994 video game Final Fantasy VI.

She was designed by various people; Yoshitaka Amano, Tetsuya Nomura, and Kazuko Shibuya all do art for her, while Akiyoshi Ota and other writers devised her backstory.

Final Fantasy VI was developed with the mindset that none of the playable cast was the protagonist, and that each of them were equally the "main character".

Given full creative freedom, Amano wanted to make "real" and "alive" characters, though with consideration for their representation in-game as small computer sprites.

[7][8] The composer of Relm's theme, Nobuo Uematsu, identified her as his favorite character in Final Fantasy VI.

[9] Relm is a young girl, the granddaughter of Strago Magus and daughter of Clyde, who works as an assassin named Shadow.

She, like her grandfather, is naturally capable of using magic, Her primary spell is Sketch, which, when used to draw a monster in battle, allows her to use its move against it.

In Final Fantasy XIV, Relm makes a cameo through a minion based on her, an item that allows players to have a small animated toy to follow them.

Writer Sebastian Deken discussed how, despite her precocious behavior, the way she is introduced - with a title card he compares to a translation of the poem "Deer Park" by Wang Wei - conveyed a depth to her character.

The stillness of the theme also caused him to speculate what it could mean, suggesting "time stretching out in front of her, as it does when you’re a child; maybe it’s daylight; or maybe she’s stepping back from her canvas, thumb to her chin."

He also commented that "Relm's acerbity symbolizes the shift among younger Japanese generations that have become estranged from this social paradigm.
