In Shirley's defense, she isn't exactly a fighting character anyway. Collette throws discs around.
Tear is overrated when you think about Mary Argent. She obliterated the whole "Chicks have to use white magic" stereotype (Or use ANY magic), rivaling even Stahn in terms of power. Hell, her main weapon was changed to the axe in the PS2 remake when they were binding weapons to characters, since she couldn't use a Swordian. She was also the only female to be able to wear heavy armor.
Now, if you want annoying female in distress, may I introduce you to Reala? Both a maid in distress AND one of the worst Mary Sues ever. Almost as bad as Kanonno. Almost.
