My thoughts about this one.

I respect that opinion, but allow me to ask, does a character absolutely needs backgroundstory to be interesting?

Not necessarily, but when they are also have a rather bland personality you start to run into problems.

And she did help the party out one time because she could understand animals. (When they were kind of 'trapped' in the Moogle forest, she came and picked them up. If she hadn't done that, I doubt the party could have gone bakc to the plot quickly. But that's my opinion.)

But if that scene hadn't of been included within the game, it probably wouldn't have affected the plot in any shape or form. Really, she only serves as a 'Deus Ex Machina' solution to a problem that could have been solved through a variety of other means.

Kay, I understand.

But it was the best solution at hand to replace Galuf, no?
How would you have replaced him?
I mean, he had to die. All other Wariors of Dawn did, too... Unfortunatly
