Primm or Purim (プリム Purimu) is one of the playable characters in Secret of Mana and comes from the kingdom of Pandora. She is 17 years old, 5 ft. 5 in. tall (165 cm), and weighs 106 lbs (48 kg).
Primm is the daughter of Elman, a nobleman from the Pandora region. At an unknown point before the game's events, she befriends a commoner girl named Pamaela. Primm is later set up in an arranged marriage to an unnamed nobleman, to which she objects because she is infatuated with a Pandorian warrior named Dyluck who was ordered by the King of Pandora to apprehend the powerful witch Elinee. Angry with the King for sending her lover on a suicide mission and furious with her father for the arranged marriage, she rebels, leaves the castle, and joins Randi on his quest, hoping to save Dyluck.
Primm meets Randi briefly when he is ambushed by Goblins and saves him from being eaten. After they escape, she admits that she mistook him for someone else and disappears, only to appear again soon afterward. The location in which she reappears varies depending on the player's actions, but she is necessary to complete the Witch's Castle. She joins the party in either Pandora (after a scene where she fights with Elman) or the Haunted Forest (after the player rescues her from two monsters).
Primm continues with Randi on his journey to restore the Mana Sword, but is at first unaware of how important she becomes to this quest, for as she travels, she retains her focus on Dyluck. After she is rescued, she agrees to go to Gaia's Navel because the path deeper into the forest is blocked off by a bone carving, which can only be shattered by an axe. The pair then meets Popoi, an amnesiac sprite who develops a crush on her to her shock and disgust. Before Popoi can join, however, the two must rescue the dwarf colony from an encroaching Tropicallo, which they dispatch. Back at the Witch's Castle, the party, now three strong, defeats Elinee and her pet Spiky Tiger, but does not find Dyluck there.
Primm soon after is sent with the party to the Water Palace, where Luka pleads for Undine to be rescued. They find the siren spirit in her cave being assailed by a Biting Lizard, which the party slays. In thanks, the Elemental of Water grants Primm the right to use her cleansing magic.
In the Pandora Ruins, she finds Pamaela mesmerized and has to shove her from in front of the entry door. The party then proceeds to defeat the hordes of monsters inside and, while they do find Dyluck there, he is in a deep trance. Instead, they meet Thanatos, who gloats and escapes, releasing the common folk of Pandora from their shared trance-like state.
During their journey, Primm also encounters the white dragon that would later be known as Flammie in the Cave of the White Dragon, befriending the youngling drake who had cowered in the rear of the grotto after losing his parents. She pleads with Randi to have him tag along, but the two instead agree on leaving him with Truffle in nearby Matango. Truffle happily complies and begins to train the dragon with a taiko drum and, as if sensing his adoptive family in trouble, Flammie rushes to the crumbling Imperial Palace to whisk them to safety
Primm herself is nearly killed when she finds Dyluck in the Northtown Ruins, where Thanatos decides to steal her soul in Dyluck's stead, but Dyluck intervenes to halt the transfer process, returning Primm to the party.
