Wakka

21

Wakka is the first person Tidus meets after washing up on Besaid, and befriends Tidus after being impressed by his blitzball skills. He is the captain of the Besaid Aurochs, a team that has never won a game. He grew up with Yuna along with Lulu, and views her as a younger sister. His late brother Chappu was a Crusader who lost his life while wielding a machina weapon. For this, Wakka harbors a resentment for machina, and bigotry towards the Al Bhed who use them, and uses his staunch following of the teachings of Yevon (which forbid machina) to further rationalize his hatred. His world-view broadens during Yuna's pilgrimage, and despite his bigotry, Wakka is a loyal friend, and helps Tidus come to grips with Spira.
