Most Useless Character?

As ive said in another thread - 4 of the "main" characters in FFIX are basically just filler characters, so im asking you to please vote on the most worthless out of them all - think story-wise and battle-wise combined

I think you have to vote for Quina...

First off, what the hell is it?
Second, what the hell gender is it?
Third, what the hell is it doing in your party?

Yes, because you've yet to provide a valid reason for why he's useless.

I went for Amarant myself. Would the story have been critically different without him? Did we need him to fight? Did we like him? My answer to each of these questions is a solid 'No'.

Well, my vote is between Quina and Amarant. But more to amarant, wasnt a good character at all, and was not important in the story.

I chose Eiko, simply because I found her healing powers and summons completely and utterly lacking in comparison to Garnet's. I also chose her because, well, she never really did anything storywise besides go for Zidane...oh, and the whole Alexander thing, but that wasn't much of anything...

Oh, and then there is also the fact that she used flutes, which did absolutely nothing in battle, and tennis rackets, which Garnet could use as well. In fact, the only useful thing I ever found her to use for was pheonix, and that is only because Garnet couldn't use it.

I'm going for Amarant. He just came out of no where and joined the party pretty late in the game I think.
