Rosa (FFIV)

[Meeplelard]

Heal, Holy, Buff, sit useless in a chair while the villains capture you hoping for your knight in shining armor comes to rescue you...yeah, it sounds like a cliched Female Lead is entering the ring!  Ignoring that last part, Rosa has all the essentials to win, be it high magic damage or lots of healing...both of which will come in handy against both the frail and durable alike.  Having better durability than most mages, Rosa can even take a few hits before healing...though, durability isn't exactly something she's going to rely on either.  The only thing that she fears are double turns and running out of resources!

Cast Curaga, Holy, Protect, Shell, sit uselessly while the villains capture you hoping for your knight in shining armor to come with guns blazing for the rescue... yeah, Rosa Farrel is pretty much everything you'd expect from a cliched priestess-style female lead in a RPG. Suspect character credentials aside, though, Rosa's worth in actual battle is quite notable: powerful magic offense, deadly status and fountains of healing go a long way. Rosa can even take a few hits before healing, being actually notably less frail than your typical magician, though she could also stand to be faster. Regardless, Cecil Harvey's bethrothed is a very capable combatant on her own right.
