 * Agni has a close association with fire and is a conveyor of sacrifices to the gods.
 * Agni is tasked with leading mankind to the gods.
 * Just as the Hindu god Agni may have originally been the same as Apam Napat, the supreme god of creation, perhaps the Final Fantasy XVI Agni is somehow a reincarnation of her world's most powerful deity…
 * Agni is able to communicate with the gods; she is the most powerful member of the order of mages to which she once belonged.
 * Agni's order of mages prayed to the gods to ensure conditions for mankind's survival remained favorable.
 * It is said the realization of Agni's true potential will envelop the world in darkness.
 * Fire is important to the world of Final Fantasy XVI. Not only is Agni the personification of it, but it is also revered as a gift from the gods that sparked the progress of civilization.
 * Agni is prophesied to lead her followers to victory against their enemies. She is tasked with awakening the gods to purge the world of the evil that plagues it.
 * The warring factions of the world seek to shape Agni to fit their needs. She can either be used for good or evil, creation or destruction.
 * Agni holds the power to enlighten the world.
 * Just as Agni must realize her potential, she is the key to the world around her realizing its own.
 * Perhaps Agni must lead the citizens of her world to a holy place (of the world's origin?)…
 * It is said the sun became visible when Agni was born.
 * Perhaps when she was young, Agni, knowing what she was destined to become, tried to hide from the gods and her destiny. She was taken in and raised by Indra, and thus the divine and human worlds were combined. The sublime and subtle were transformed into the gross and material.
 * Perhaps Agni was born as a tool of the gods to guide mankind. Her divine origins (which she has forgotten but remembers over the course of her journey) are the source of her great power.
 * Some fear Agni as the one who will destroy the world. Agni fears the possibility of this destiny coming true and tries to flee from it. At the end of her journey, Agni accepts this possible fate and faces her fear. Thus she realizes her potential.
 * As the Hindu god Indra is the leader of the Devas, the character Indra in Final Fantasy XVI is the leader of the group of mages to which Agni belongs (also possibly called "Devas," a term synonymous with "l'Cie").
