Yoko-Yoko is Shanoa light. She's even more limited since she doesn't have a hunter skill or any other weapons besides the staff (which sucks) She has only 3 spells, while powerful, don't make up for her limited mobility.
Maria-Maria is actually pretty decent, her animals are good room cleaners and she has little to no recovery on her attacks outside of Hymn and she has a small hitbox. However she has the second worst damage output besides Fuma which makes her limited or useless on most bosses. She also has a slow MP regeneration speed so Robe Decollete is essential.
Fuma-Fuma is the weakest character damage wise outside of big enemies that can be hit with all 4 shirukens and don't resist slash, which sucks for him since his chapter made all the non DLC chapters obsolete on the treasure side. He's limited and his subweapons aren't anywhere near as powerful as Shanoa or Yoko to make up for this.

Charlotte- Charlotte is just plain obsolete. Soma has most of her spells (and can even do some of them better like Astarte's) her heal used to be godly, but is garbage now. Deathscyte was her most powerful and useful move but thanks to the slash and multi hit resisting enemies it's trash now. All of the moves she has that Soma doesn't are garbage except for R.Fireball and maybe R.Bone. She's lousy at everything besides offensive magic and she doesn't even have the best magic spells. No dive kick sucks as well. It's too bad and I feel sorry for her, I know they had to nerf SSJ Charlotte but they gave her almost nothing in the DLC chapters and introduced monsters that laugh off her best spells.
