Aeris FF7
Rika Phantasy Star IV (I think that was her name)
Marle Chrono Trigger
Aika Skies of Arcadia
Selphie FF8

Why do older JRPG's have a such a tendency to make one of the first party members a spunky, cheerful girl?

Yes, but you still get Selphie pretty early on. In the first couple hours. You also get Tifa before Aeris.

Of course she is. She's also annoying as hell.

But regardless, she's a spunky, cheerful girl and one of the first party members.

Maybe I shouldn't say "one of the first," though. Maybe it's more like they just join your party really early in the game.

Hm, interesting.

I dunno if it all applies but yeah some of the traits are spot-on.
