Garnet Til Alexandros XVII

Garnet Til Alexandros XVII, alias Dagger, and birth name Sarah, (voiced by Christina Ricci), is the deuteragonist of Final Fantasy IX, and the heir of Alexandria in the 17th generation. Garnet notices a change in her mother, Queen Brahne, and seeks to escape Alexandria Castle.

Hiding her identity while traveling with Zidane, Garnet takes the alias Dagger, inspired by Zidane's weapon. Initially polite and soft-spoken, and naive to the world outside her castle, Garnet loosens up during her travels, and becomes more streetwise. She resolves to use her powers as a summoner to protect her kingdom, and becomes more assertive and less dependent on others for help.

In battle, Dagger can use several Wht Mag spells and summon several eidolons into battle. Her Trance changes the Summon command to Eidolon, which causes the eidolons she last summoned to deal more damage, and sometimes reappear in battle at random intervals. She wields rods and rackets in battle. While both Dagger and Eiko can use Wht Mag and summon eidolons, Eiko has more powerful curative Wht Mag spells, while Dagger can summon more powerful offensive eidolons.
