Okay, gonna take a look over your plot outline and see if I can find a good place to possibly have Chao be antagonistic.
The problem with my suggesting her for that role without thinking of it beforehand is that Final Fantasy doesn't offer the same scenario for her to be a hero antagonist that her home series did. In that series, the existence of magic was a secret and she had a goal to blow that secret open, thus putting her in opposition to the heroes. There's no such trifle here, and it's not like I could just reverse it and have her be about tech instead.
Alternatively, if you plan to do the Crystal Tower stuff, she could oppose the party there, standing in their way because she doesn't trust that they wouldn't abuse the Allagan's technology.
