Characters of Final Fantasy IX
ZIDANE TRIBALL
Zidane Triball is the main character of FF IX. One of his goals throughout Final Fantasy is to discover his forgotten past life. As the story progresses, he seems to come closer and closer to meeting this goal. As for the battles, Zidane is classified as a Thief. He has the ability to steal items from enemies, as well as a tactic in which he creates a diversion, then attacks the enemy from behind.
PRINCESS GARNET
Princess Garnet's full name
is Princess Garnet Til Alexandros the 17th. She is the daughter
of Queen Brahne, who has control over all of the world's Black
Mages except for one. Throughout the story, Garnet interacts
closely with Zidane as a sort of educator.
In battle, Garnet serves primarily as a White Mage, with
abilities and magic that provide HP recovery. She also has the
power to summon powerful creatures to aid the party in battle.
VIVI ORNITIER
VIVI Ornitier is the one Black Mage which Queen Brahne does not have control over. Like Zidane, one of VIVI's major goals is to discover his past, although he is only 9 years old. In battle, VIVI's most important skill is that of black magic. Additionally, if VIVI and Adelbert Steiner are in the party simultaneously, VIVI can power Adelbert's sword with magic.
"How do you prove that you exist...? Maybe we don't exist..." - VIVI Ornitier
ADELBERT STEINER
Adelbert Steiner is the leader of The Knights of Pluto. His main goal is to protect Princess Garnet from Zidane, in believing that he is a bad influence on her. In battle, Adelbert's main strength is his physical attacks. He can equip some of the heaviest equipment in the game.
QUINA QUEN
Quina Quen has been described as the strangest character in Final Fantasy IX. About the only known about this creature is that it obviously has a fascination with food. In battle, Quina is similar to Gau of FF VI in that it can learn the attacks of the enemies. This is done not by jumping at the enemy, but rather by actually eating it.
EIKO CAROL
Eiko Carol is the only remaining member of a tribe of summoners. For this reason, she fears being on her own and lives as the only human in a family of Moogles. Though she is physically weak in battle, her magic and summoning abilities are some of the strongest. She is also able to use white magic to cast curative spells on the party during and outside of battle.
FREIJA CRESCENT
Freija Crescent is one of the last surviving Dragoon Knights. Also, Freija is a long-time friend of Zidane. In battle, Freija, being a Dragoon Knight, possesses the ability to jump on enemies. This strategy takes her out of the line of fire temporarily until she lands.
AMARANT CORAL
Amarant Coral fights along with Zidane primarily for his own reasons. He is a very independent individual who tends to rely on power rather than strategy. In battle, Amarant has the ability to execute Blitz attacks, much like Sabin of FF VI. Also, being a ninja, he has the ability to throw GP at enemies, as well as use some white magic.
