In one of the GBA Fire Emblem titles you could recruit a merchant to the gang which would provide supplies and weapons to your team if theirs broke or you needed a different Element, etc. It felt a bit strange at times but it came in handy quiet alot in the later Levels... so maybe let her handle the cart MC build and stuff it full of supplies... she can make some deals on the trip for herself to rebuild her families fortune by sticking around.I could even see Ophilia being a companion toon. Was it Dragon Quest 4 or 5 that had the entire chapter where MC was a merchant. I loved that one. You fought slimes and stuff, and if you got a herb as a random loot drop. You then added it to your stores wares and sold it for 20% more than if you sold it to a store anywhere else. And for some reason people bought it, so you made cash from it. Remember I enjoyed that novelty mechanic. Trying to reach the 25000 gold needed to payoff family debt or something like that.
Anyway, point being I could see Ophilia being a companion too. Give her a horse whip maybe. Her presence in party reduces all store prices by 5% or some other passive benefit. Could work. And of course there is Natasha. She could be an interesting one, depending on which god you choose to have her worship. She could have some heals and/or some random selection of pain based spells.
Lots of options.
