I know what I'm doing next time I play IX.

Anywho, I voted Faris. I always gave her the tankier classes and she was always saving the party so it'd be nice to save her for a change. And hell, she's not the damsel type and probably have some kind of heroic second wind scene and take up the fight right next to the rescuer. Plus, she's a pirate and pirates are cool. Also she has purple hair. And one more thing, Salsa.
