Eiko Carol is a character first found in the town of Conde Petie on the outer continent in the world of Final Fantasy IX. She is the last of a race of summoners and is the only person in the world with a Summoner's Horn. She decides to join Zidane and co. after she finds out that Garnet also has the power to summon monsters despite her lack of a Summoner's Horn. She has a crush on Zidane.
While Eiko and Garnet both share White Magic and Summoner abilities, Eiko is the main white magic user of the two with her summoner powers secondary, indicated by the order of said skills in the battle menu.
Eiko is one of the two last surviving Summoners of Madain Sari (the other being Garnet). Eiko's family was not in Madain Sari when it was destroyed by Kuja. They returned to the ruins of the village four years later, when Eiko was very young. Eiko's parents died early, leaving her grandfather to raise her. However, he passed away as well when she was five.
Fortunately for Eiko, the moogles in the area decided to take care of her. She became very mature for her age and helped them as well, stealing food from the nearby village of Conde Petie for them when it was needed. Zidane and the rest of the party found her caught in a tree after she fled the scene of one of her thefts. After they got her down, she decided to show them Madain Sari and then to join the party, despite the fact that her grandfather had told her not to leave until she was sixteen.
After defeating Kuja, one of the scenes in the game shows Eiko referring to Cid and Hilda as her parents, meaning the Regent and his wife adopted Eiko.
Eiko has a guardian female moogle who goes by the name of Mog. During an extraction of Eiko's eidolons (the same process Thorn and Zorn used on Garnet/Dagger in Alexandria) Mog goes into a trance to protect Eiko and transforms into Madeen. After the battle, it gives Eiko the ribbon it wore to learn how to summon it whenever she needs it.
