In the _Atelier series_ , Pamela is a recurring character, a ghost who has
amnesia looking for her body (before Astrid made her one).

I've played the _Atelier Arland Trilogy_ , but it has never revealed how she
died. I started playing _Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana_ where she appears as a
ghost. She first appeared in _Atelier Judie_ , the first game of the _Gramnad
series_ which was never released in English, so I have no idea if she was was
alive then.

So I am wondering, is it ever explained how Pamela died?

How did Pamela die?


Pamela was already a ghost since she was first introduced in _Gramnad series
(Atelier Judie & Atelier Violet)_, and as usual, nobody (even herself) knew
how she became a ghost.
([Wikia](http://atelier.wikia.com/wiki/Pamela_Ibis_\(Gramnad\)))

There are 2 games where Pamela's cause of death were explained:

  1. In _Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana_ , and
  2. In _Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm_ (as mentioned in [the comment by Septian](http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/12893/how-did-pamela-die#comment15828_12893))

In _Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana_ , it's explained **in the main quest (SPOILER
ALERT!)** that

> she was sent to a cave as a sacrifice to the dragon, but when she was trying
> to escape, she froze to death... ([YouTube

and in _Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm_ , there's a side quest about Pamela's
death, which

> according to her diary which was placed on her grave, when she was going to
> cook, she tried to reach for a plate in the cabinet, but it fell. She dodged
> it by stepping back, but her foot landed in a pot on the floor. She flipped
> over, hit her head, and died. This entry was written by her mom. ([YouTube

... which contradicts each other! However, considering that both of her cause
of death was told by herself, the player can only believe even if it's true or
not.

This also spawned a fan theory that not all Pamela is the same Pamela, similar
to [Cid in every _Final Fantasy
series_](http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cid) (from [Neoseeker
forum](http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/directmessage.php?m=29654458),
**SPOILER ALERT!** )
