So I played through IX again this past couple of weeks,
and I was amazed to find out that Dagger isn't the original Princess Garnet
when Eiko bumps into Tot in Alexandria and he says that the original Garnet died and they found a girl who looked exactly like her in a boat but she had a summoners horn so the king ordered it be cut off!

I was like OMG!! lol never realised that before!!
