Zorn and Thorn are non-player characters from Final Fantasy IX. They are twins who serve as Queen Brahne's court jesters and mages. They look nearly identical and wear similar clothing. Zorn is the older of the two,[citation needed] and wears blue, while Thorn wears red. In the game's English translation, Zorn and Thorn speak in an antimetabole speech pattern using the same words to reply to each other but in active and passive form. For example, Zorn would say, "Are you sure of this?" while Thorn would say, "Sure of this, are you?". In the Japanese version Zorn finishes his sentences with o-ja'ru and Thorn with go-ja'ru, which is an old type of dialect not used in modern speech. In the Spanish version, Zorn ends his lines with pífate, while Thorn ends them with páfate, simple verbal tics that have no meaning.

Profile
Zorn and Thorn wear jester hats with bells, collared jackets and buttoned up shirts in blue and red respectively. Their jackets, color aside, are slightly different, as Zorn has a spade and a club suit on his left and right arm respectively, and Thorn has a heart and a diamond suit. While Zorn's blue makeup curves over his brow and nose in thin lines, Thorn's makeup colors his eyes in red, with a red circle above each eye. Their lips are of their respective colors, and both their faces are painted white. Their red and blue apparel may refer to the twin moons (their theme music also sometimes being referred to as the "Jesters of the Moon"), and by extension, the planets Gaia and Terra.
