"Vent... remember that you're not alone. Don't try to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. You've got me and the other Guardians... And you've got Giro watching over you too. We'll save this country together!"
―Prairie to Vent, Mega Man ZX

Prairie (プレリー Purerī) is a supporting character in Mega Man ZX. She is the leader of the Guardians, having the held position since the original leader, Ciel, disappeared years ago.

Characteristics[]

Prairie is a young woman with fair skin and long blonde hair. She is normally seen wearing a pink and white uniform with a cap and long coattails, befitting the captain of the Guardians. She often carries a white cat doll resembling a Cyber-elf. As seen in her casual outfit in Rockman ZX Soundsketch - ZX GIGAMIX, she has a red triangle on her forehead behind her bangs, confirming her status as a Reploid.

History[]

Prairie took command of the Guardians after Ciel went missing after an investigation of an Outlands area involving the appearing Maverick attacks. Before the start of Mega Man ZX, she hired Giro Express to transport the Biometals, Model X and Model Z.

It is revealed in-game that Prairie is over 200 years old (despite looking only 13–16 years old), as she was present when she saw Ragnarok breaking apart in the atmosphere or Zero and Ciel facing a swarm of Mavericks. It is also heavily implied that Prairie is Alouette from the original Mega Man Zero games: her stuffed doll is the same one that Alouette carried and also calls Ciel 'sis.' Prairie's Japanese voice actor, Ryō Hirohashi, also voiced Alouette.

Prairie acts as Vent/Aile's operator from the Guardian's Headquarters, providing information about their current mission, as well as the occasional emotional support.

In Aile's storyline, Prairie is hinted to have fallen in love with Girouette, being said that Giro reminded her of someone she knew before (likely Zero).[1] In Vent's storyline, she apologizes to Vent, expressing remorse for inadvertently putting his life in danger by hiring Giro Express to deliver the biometals.

Following the Serpent incident, Aile ended up encountering Prometheus and Pandora multiple times as she discovered even more pieces of Model W which caused Prairie to focus on her work in order to learn what they were really up to. After Aile returned to Guardians HQ and noticed how Prairie was so focused on figuring out what Prometheus and Pandora were really after and believing that it would lead to something even bigger than the Serpent incident, she decided to take Prairie with her to the nearby town in the territory of Legion to go shopping in order to lighten her mood with Fleuve accompanying them. While shopping, they group learned that the effects of the Serpent incident caused checks to be put in place and were affecting businesses because of it. After Aile overheard civilians talking about them behind their backs and Prairie confronted them about it, she apologized to the civilians before taking her to a restaurant. At the restaurant, Aile noticed his many times Prairie apologized and told her that it was okay to be a bit more selfish since she was a girl and that she wanted to see her smile. As Prairie noticed the scratches on Aile's hands and she mentioned putting cream on them, Prairie decided to help buy her some cream and took Aile's advice to heart as she finally smiled and the two left the restaurant while leaving Fleuve behind.

  1. Prairie: Aile, I know it's a little late for this, but... I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you about Giro and his mission to watch over you. Please believe me when I say that we didn't want to deceive you. Giro's face always lit up so much when he talked about you... Giro... He loved you very much.
    Aile: Prairie, did you have feelings for him...?
    Prairie: W-what!?
    Aile: Hahaha! Maybe Giro resembles someone you cared about. Every time you talk about him, you look so happy. Don't worry, I won't hold it against you if you did like him. It's thanks to all of you that I'm finally able to fight for what's important.
