Randi first meets Popoi at the Dwarf Village where he makes a living by scamming people at the Elder's freak show. Due to a massive flood in the Upper Land that washed him away into Gaia's Navel, Popoi has lost his memory and doesn't remember anything about his past. At the Dwarf Elder's suggestion, he joins Randi in hopes of recovering his memory. Eventually he reunites with his grandfather in the Wind Temple but decides to continue aiding Randi in his quest. Popoi is the most mischievous member of the group and often plays the role of comic relief. As an orphan, he understands how Randi feels growing up without parents.

In the Japanese game, as a Sprite, Popoi's gender is never truly specified. In the U.S. translation, Popoi is identified as a male while on the Republic's sand ship that protects the Fire Palace from the empire. A guard says "''He'' ate up ALL the ship's food!". Another says "'Zat your friend? Show ''him'' outta here!" Furthermore, Gnome in his dialogue with the heros thinks that the girl is the sprite's wife and the sprite replies by saying that he likes his thinking, implying that he is indeed a male.

Another says "'Zat your friend? Show ''him'' outta here!" This was most likely due to the time constraints of the game's translation as Popoi largely uses non-gender specific pronouns in the Japanese version that do not exist in the English language, and thus his true gender is never revealed.
