Characters

Zidane Tribal

"You don't need a reason to help people."

Zidane is a member of the Tantalus Theatre group, who are actually thieves in disguise.  They plan to do perform the play I Want To Be Your Canary at princess garnet's 16th birthday, this is a cover so that they can kidnap her!

Zidane is a great fighter and uses short swords known as daggers.
Zidane falls for princess Garnet when he meets her in the castle and Vowels to do his best to kidnap and protect her.

Garnet/Dagger

"Someday I will be queen, but I will always be myself."

You first meet Garnet in the intro, not much, but it is a start. Garnet is the princess of Alexandria, the daughter of queen Brahne.  The play  I Want To Be Your Canary is actually a celebration for her 16th birthday.  She is also the one that Zidane and the rest of the group set out to kidnap and ransom! But, when they go to do so, it turns out she wants to come with them! The adventure goes from there.  Trying to escape notice, she tries to act normal, but has trouble doing so, after being royalty for so long.  Also, they give her an alas, Dagger, (which you do have the option to change).

Garnet/Dagger is a White Mage/Summoner and a good one at that!  She is a good person to have on your team.  She can also attack with staffs and rackets, but because she is a mage, not a warrior, she isn't that strong at it. Like a few of the characters of this game, Garnet's past has secrets, but you have to play the game to get it.

Vivi Ornitier

"How do you prove that you exist? maybe we don't exist......."

Vivi is a black mage and easily one of the strongest in the game. you meet Vivi near the start of the game. he is actually one of the first characters you get to control.  Vivi is a 9 year old black mage, whom you meet in Alexandos, when he is getting ready to go to the play I Want To Be Your Canary  After being caught up in the show, Vivi is invited by Zidane to join the others.

Vivi like all the black mages is very good at the fire attack and later in the game he gets loads of magical powers which can cause damage or status change on enemies. Easily making him one of the best characters.

Quina Quen

"I do what I want! you have problem!?"

Eat and eat. That's all Quina does but when he eats the enemies, that's a good thing. Quina joins you whenever you decide to head to one of the Quinas marshes. Once you get him, He don't turn much but he is around. He is a great cook and helpful at times and also learns a great deal of enemy skills what he learns once he has eaten a enemy. But besides that he ain't that good.

Freya Cresent

"To be forgotten is worse than death."

Freya is a member of the Royal Dragon Knights of Burmecia. This mysterious female warrior has left her home town in search of her long lost love.

She is a very strong character and gets dragged in well she meets up with everyone in the town of Lindblum. She and the others return to her home town when she hears it's being attacked by black mages. After that she sticks with the others and fights along side you using a grand lance.

Amarant Coral

"The only dependable thing about the future is uncertainty."

Amarant is a giant, who's look is not very far from his true nature. He goes along with you to try and she what gives Zidane his strength coz Zidane beat Amarant in a fight when there meant. 

He fights alone and hates children but later on in the game he learns the power of friendship when he gets hurt and Zidane saves him. Overall a great character to use coz he is also strong and he throws his pinwheels and other items which hurt the enemies quite alot.

Eiko Carol

"I don't wanna be alone anymore...."

Eiko is a 6 year old summoner/white mage. Eiko first joins you when you arrive at her hometown of the ruins of Madain Sari.  She decides to join you for a couple reasons, one of those being she has a crush on Zidane. Also, she wants to know how her powers consider with Garnets, and also, she is the only one human in Madain Sari, so she decides she might as well come along. Eiko spend most of her youth hanging around with moogle's, * the only inhabitants of Madain Sari *  She has a special relationship with one named Mog, who is her same age. 

Eiko is a good character, and a very strong white mage, even stronger than Garnet.  Her summon skills are slightly weaker, but that can change on what she has equipped.
Because Eiko is a summoner she is able to communicate with animals, they don't go deep into that, it is just mentioned because it is a normal summoner's trait, that is what the horn does.
She is pretty cool, and a good person to replace Garnet on your team on occasion.

Adelbert Steiner

"Having sworn fealty, must I spent my life in servitude?"

When he learns she wants to stay with the group, he decides to stay too, because he simply cannot let her go alone!
He stays with you, and is sort of annoying through out the game. Whenever Steiner walks or runs, his armour clanks but all that armour helps him fight better and he is a great fighter with very strong sword attacks, he can also link up with Vivi for a special sword magic attack.
