Who is your favorite FF6 NPC?

But there are so many good answers, it's hard to pinpoint a single "best" one... I'd probably go with Rachel though. Sure, she's in suspended animation throughout the game, but she must be special to have such a profound effect on Locke... and to be worth the cost of expensive medical herbs despite the obvious shortage that would occur immediately after the world goes to an anarchistic ruin.

Yes, I think about stuff like that.

Why do you think Locke continued being a treasure hunter? I would find it very easy to believe he pays for her care with his... earnings. He basically gave his life away to rectifying his mistake with Rachel. His whole life became about treasure hunting to support her preservation, searching for a mythical stone to resurrect her, and secretly fighting against the empire that hurt her... not to mention the emotional trauma that causes him to basically be a "knight in shining armor" to every troubled woman he meets... Locke is an insanely fascinating character.
