Biography

Eiko is one of the eight main playable characters of Final Fantasy IX. Eiko is a young summoner from Madain Sari and as such has a horn poking through her bangs, as all summoners do. Eiko is young but despite being isolated to Madain Sari and Conde Petie for her entire life, has a very worldly attitude. Many of her thoughts of how people are expected to act - most specifically, her thoughts involving love - were shaped by plays by Lord Avon, the bard. Her crush on Zidane is, as a result, overly complicated and romantic and goes right over Zidane's head. Eiko can be rather blunt with many of the characters, specifically uncertain people like Vivi, but by being so confident as such a young girl, she inspires many characters to be a bit more certain about themselves.

Eiko is a magical character in battle and, like Garnet, is both a White Mage and a Summoner. She fights with rods and racquets while equipping robes, light armor, and light headgear. Eiko has much stronger White Magic than Garnet, with the ability to cast Holy, but her summons are generally weaker or status-based.

Eiko is unknowing in possession of one of the pieces of the gem needed to summon the Eidolon Alexander. During Kuja's assault on Alexandria with the Eidolon Bahamut, Eiko and Garnet manage to bring together all the pieces of the gem and use it to summon Alexander together. Their shared power is a huge hint toward Garnet's origin in Madain Sari, and the two consider each other sisters once they learn the truth.

Eiko is kidnapped from the party by Kuja when he realizes that she is also a summoner. Zorn and Thorn, who are still in Kuja's employ, are tasked with extracting her Eidolons, even though the procedure would kill her at her young age. They are foiled by Mog, who reveals herself as the Eidolon Madeen and very satisfyingly massacres the clowns.

After the events of the game are complete, Eiko is adopted by Cid and Hilda.

Trance

When Eiko enters Trance, her hair and dress turn white and both her horn and angel wing ornament get significantly larger. Her White Magic command changes into Double White, which allows him to cast two White Magic spells consecutively. There's no associated MP discount with this, and each spell decreases the Trance gauge separately, but the amount of the gauge used up per spell cast is less than most characters use for a normal Trance command.
