Aimee

Aimee Matchlock (エイミー・マッチロック, Eimī Matchirokku?) is a non-player character that appears in Bravely Second: End Layer. She is a member of a minority tribe that lives deep within Florem's interior and she is also the keeper of the Hawkeye asterisk. She is said to possess the ability to communicate with the dead.[1]

Profile[]

Appearance[]

Aimee is a 17-year-old girl with long white hair tied in two ponytails with a small braid that hangs in front, red eyes, and dark skin. She wields a large, white bird-shaped rifle called the Guncleaver.

In the Japanese release, she has white painted markings on her skin. She wears a light brown bikini with a small skirt and has a feathered headdress in her hair. She is barefoot with black straps wrapped around her feet, brown armlets and pant-like cloth on her legs. She has a fur scarf around her neck. She overall resembles a caricature of a Native American shaman.

In the overseas release, she wears a brown cowboy hat with a single feather stuck in it and a brown tube top. She wears long light brown pants with a thick dark brown belt under a short light brown skirt and black boots. She resembles depictions of cowgirls from classic Western media.

Personality[]

Aimee is a brash and confident woman who loves speaking loudly and proudly. She is quick to boast of her own skills as a sniper and has the power to back up her claims. When first met, she is quite bloodthirsty, always looking forward to a chance to gun down some enemy targets. However, she is also very adoring and devoted to her boyfriend, Angelo. She always looks forward to eating some of his delicious pancakes after a mission.

During New Game Plus, Aimee is more reasonable, the vision of their deaths having shaken her and her boyfriend. She and Angelo decide to lay down their arms and open up their own bakery in Florem, content to live out their lives in peace, rather than threatening the world.

Story[]

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Originally from Florem, Aimee lived in the Florem Gardens until she met Angelo OVO Panettone and tasted his pastries for the first time. Since then, she followed the patissier everywhere out of devotion.

Having been deployed to Eisenberg as a distraction, Aimee takes over the Eisen Bridge and overwhelms the Shieldbearers. Prior to Yew Geneolgia's group reaching Eisenberg, having done the feat from the Eisen Bridge, Aimee sniped the youth as he and his friends were about to enter the Skyhold while it was anchored to Ancheim. After visiting Hartschild as Angelo was dealing with the populace, the group decide to deal with Aimee with Danzaburō holding her off while they use the Black Swords' secret pathway to sneak up on her from behind. But after Yōko is injured as a result, Aimee is killed in battle against Yew's group. However, despite her death, the message that Aimee placed on an arrow reaches Angelo to convince him to open a bakery.

When Yew and his group use the SP Hourglass to go back in time to stop the kaiser before he could kidnap Agnès, it negated Aimee's demise with her believing her memories of her previous timeline as a strange dream. She helps Angelo open his new shop in the Florem Gardens, encountering Yew's group and having a rematch against them.

Spoilers end here.

Etymology[]

Aimée, or Aimee, is a French feminine given name, translated as "beloved". It also incorporates a pun on the word "aiming" to refer to her specialty as a sharpshooter.

The matchlock was the first mechanism, or "lock," invented to facilitate the firing of a hand-held firearm. This design removed the need to lower by hand a lit match into the weapon's flash pan and made it possible to have both hands free to keep a firm grip on the weapon at the moment of firing, and, more importantly, to keep both eyes on the target.

Trivia[]

  • Aimee is the only asterisk holder in the series to have her appearance changed overseas. This change is likely due to controversies regarding real life historic and racial issues of Native Americans in the Americas, specifically that of their depiction in modern day culture and society.
