Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The third book of Encantadia opened with the celebration of Armea's birth, heiress of Sapiro and the long-awaited daughter of King Ybrahim and Queen Alena. But fascination with the newborn royalty was short-lived when Ybrahim ventured into the territory of the Punjabwes and got a terrible reading from the fortune-teller Rosas: Ybrahim will be killed by his very own offspring.

Dismissed at first, the prophecy was proved to be something to be feared by the king when seers from all over Encantadia verified Rosas's reading. This sent the Sapirian council into a plot of keeping the baby Armea away from the king, believing she is the fulfillment to the prophecy. The baby was abducted by the council through the help of a lady-in-waiting and given to the Picarros, who were to care for the baby in exchange for gold.

The Picarros were unable to deal with Armea's incessant crying, and so the infant was given to the Punjabwes of the Bahaghari airship, who subsequently had the same trouble with the baby. The Punjabwes noted the Sang'gre mark on Armea's shoulder, leading them to believe that she is the missing child of the Sapirian king and queen. But with the prophecy of Ybrahim's death by his own blood, the Punjabwes chose not to return the infant Armea to Sapiro.

With Dilawan's advice, the Punjabwes decided to search for a mysterious plant of Azurka in the mountains of Lireo that will magically speed up Armea's growth and put an end to her incessant crying. She was renamed Agatha by Azulan, probably for her own safety.

Armea managed to get her mother's attention while singing Alena's lullaby in the forest. After catching only a glimpse of "Agatha" along with Luntian and Violeta running in the forest, the Sapirian queen sent Apek and Wantuk in search of "Prince" Azulan's party, hoping she'll be able to see the girl behind the enchanting voice. But amidst Agatha's excitement to meet Sapirian royalties, Azulan prevented her from doing so.

But with the help of Apek and Wantuk, Armea got to meet Ybrahim and Alena in the palace, unknowing that they are her parents. Alena lost her chance to check Agatha's back for a Sang'gre mark, proving her strong hunch that she could be their missing daughter, when Azulan and the Punjabwes, in disguise, arrived to fetch Agatha. Instead, it is Azulan's true identity that was revealed when Ybrahim saw Azulan's mark in his shoulder that the Sapirian king previously discovered while he was in search for the Punjabwes.

Their disguise revealed, Azulan, seething with anger against the king, decided to take Armea away to the mortal plane as revenge for all the troubles Ybrahim has brought him. It is in the mortal world where Armea discovered her affinity with water and the power to control it. Through Cassandra, she learns that she is a sang'gre and Violeta & Luntian tell her that she is the daughter of King Ybrahim and Queen Alena. She returns to Encantadia to meet with her parents but as she gets to Sapiro, she confronts Hagorn who deceives and kidnaps her. She is saved by Ybrahim and Arman and returns to Sapiro with Ybrahim's dying body. She witnesses both of her parents' deaths and Arman's as well and accepts Arman as her brother. This is affirmed by Arman's paternity test. As Alena died, she took Alena's place in the last war of Encantadia fighting in the Hathorian front.

After the war, Armea became Queen of Sapiro under Pirena's guidance and Sapiro flourished. She was blessed by Amihan and given the Gem of Water by Danaya. She then takes her mother's place at the coronation of Cassandra. She wears basically the same clothes as her deceased mother.
