Tipa Caravan

The Tipa caravan is the group of protagonists in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. Like the other Crystal Caravanners, their quest is to collect Myrrh from Myrrh Trees to renew the power of the crystal in their village of Tipa. Along the way they discover more about the mysterious Miasma that plagues the land and of its origins.
==Members==
The members in the Tipa caravan are determined by the player. They create a character and select from which of the four tribes they come from:
*Clavat
*Lilty
*Selkie
*Yuke
==Family trades==
When creating a character, players choose their family profession. Each bestows its particular benefits for that character only, with the exception of the Merchant's expanded inventory and the Blacksmith and Tailor's expanded crafting capabilities. There are a total of eight homes in Tipa, each one for a different trade.
Even though the caravan can be made up of up to eight characters, only four will attend the "end of year" ceremony. It will always be the same four under most circumstances, seeming to prioritize the top row. If the caravan contains fewer than four characters, they will be joined by moogles.
Despite the Farmer family trade specializing in growing crops, all families can grow all seeds aside from wheat seeds. Certain family roles can grow each seed and be collected from that same role. Mothers will grow fruit seeds if given them, while older brothers will grow vegetable seeds. Mystery Seeds will be planted by either, but will be harvestable depending on what the player character's favorite food is.
===Alchemist=== 
The father will create different scrolls for weapons and accessories each year depending on their level. During each year, the player can speak to the father to obtain a recipe and his production ranking will go up, giving the player a new item. If the alchemist has a younger sister, she will offer the player to play with magicite. Since the player can't act in town, this essentially lets the player kick the magicite around like soccer balls, as they cannot be picked up or used otherwise.
