Trivia question. Who are these two lovely ladies down here below?

If you guessed Vanessa and Tana, you are absolutely correct, and you deserve a chocolate pudding! So, why on god's green earth should I ever use Syrene if these two lovely ladies exist? Especially since both will most likely be, at the bare lowest, 5 levels above Syrene with only 3 chapters remaining, and have every single statistical advantage over her by the time you get her? Talk about wasted potential.
Syrene: **/1 27 HP, 12 Str, 13 Skill, 15 Speed, 12 Luck, 10 Def, 12 Res
Tana: 20/6 38 HP, 18 Str, 17 Skill, 25 Speed, 20 Luck, 12 Def, 14 Res
Vanessa: 20/6 34 HP, 15 Str, 20 Skill, 25 Speed, 16 Luck, 12 Def, 14 Res
It's not even a matter of Syrene being bad anymore, it's just a matter of just how sad her stats are for her level and for the point of the game you get her at.
