Pippi

Pippi is a young girl living in Podunk. She gets lost in the graveyard and Ninten is asked to rescue her from the various ghosts and zombies lurking in the graveyard. After finding her, she accompanies Ninten for a short time until he takes her back to the mayor's office. While she's traveling with Ninten, she can be controlled in combat, and can even be equipped with items. Pippi gives Ninten one of two Franklin Badges in the game.

She makes a second appearance in the swamp on the way to Ellay, residing in a house. Ninten and his friends can rest at the house for recovery.

Trivia

 * Besides PP and speed, Pippi outranks Ninten in every stat, so many players hold on to her for as long as possible.
 * Pippi is the only party member who the player cannot name at the start of the game that has a status bar.
