Now that I think about it, that's another cool thing about Heroine's Quest: you can learn alchemy and create your own healing potions. You could never do that in any QFG game. It's so cool to be able to do that in Heroine's Quest, even if it is difficult to get the exact color right.
Zachski: It's more of a development term for the player character, kinda like how "Chara" is in some games (like Undertale). However, there are two points in the series where this gets acknowledged for a joke.
1. Throwing mud (e.g. Fooler's Earth) at Ad Avis while playing as the Thief results in a Princess Bride joke with the hero's textbox calling him "Ego Montoya"
2. The Awful Waffle Walker's entire existence. A tired staff member requested an animation cycle for "Ego Walking", but typed one too many g's and ended up with "Eggo Walking". And thus QFG3's most infamous joke was born. How do you make it to the end of the game still holding the fooler's earth? Don't you have to use it to defeat the air elemental?
