Personally I'm not too fond of the kidney aspect either but it's not as bad as it sounds. At least in my experience.
ALSO I SHOULD REALLY GO TO BED BUT I AM COMPLETING THIS FORM FOR AN FF COMM AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF TL;DR-ING ABOUT WHY I HEART FFIX SO MUCH.
"Tied for third I have Eiko Carol and Vivi Orunitia. When I first played the game I utterly adored both of them but for entirely different reasons. Eiko is so poorly written (really, I'm supposed to believe she's 6?) but I have to admit that she has such a wonderful spark about her - here's this little girl who has grown up in incredibly miserable circumstances and yet rather than let it defeat her, she takes control of her life and not only tries to be cheerful but also an assertive adult. What's more after Zidane she essentially becomes the back-up party leader and a lot of the time she's the one organizing things when he's not around and she does it effectively. Despite this she still has the vulnerability of a child and it's interesting seeing her conflict of being a little girl trying so hard to be a woman when what she needs is a chance to be a child again and be part of a family. She's also a brilliant parallel to several characters, one of the most fascinating in my opinion being Kuja in that both were born into a grim situation and denied a proper childhood (as well as being overdramatic brats) but unlike Kuja, Eiko was never truly alone: she was loved all her life and those around her constantly reminded her how valuable her existence is to them, something Kuja never had and the entire reason he lacks empathy. Also I find that Eiko is one of the most hilarious characters in the game - the misunderstanding with Mikoto never fails to have me sputtering with laughter."
