Character
Name: Rinoa Heartilly
Series: Final Fantasy VIII
Timeline: Post-game
Canon Resource Links: wiki 1, wiki 2
Affiliation: Trainer
Personality: Rinoa's a bit of a wild child. She likes to try and bend the rules to make things go her way, and she has a bit of a rebellious streak in her. And yet, despite all that, she’s a very dedicated and determined young woman. Certainly, a number of the choices in her life--namely, joining the Forest Owls in their fight against Galbadian control--were acts of rebellion against her father, but that doesn't mean that she didn't believe in their goals or put her all into it.
When she believes something to be right, she will fight for it with all she has, even if her methods seem a little strange or even doomed to failure. She chooses to fight alongside her friends despite clearly being at a disadvantage, what with not having their formal military training. But of course her loyalties are first and foremost to her friends...because even as much as she would fight for her ideals, she would never sacrifice those she cares about in order to achieve them. The idea of someone's death being on her conscience worries her; when she believed Seifer to have been executed in an effort to aid the Forest Owls, she's quite upset, having to face the reality of what being in a resistance faction might entail.
She is indeed naive, to an extent; not being as used to war and fighting as the other members of her team, she's not as familiar with the accompanying horrors, and is thus sheltered. Over the course of the game she develops a greater understanding of what a war means; how innocents are caught in the crossfire, and how sacrifices must be made for the greater good. Once she realizes her abilities, she's willing to be sealed away for good if it means having one less "evil sorceress" out in the open. Regardless of how scared or sad the idea makes her, she presses on because it's what's best for everyone else.
Rinoa's also the type to fall in "love" easily, and certainly, this is the case with her relationship with Seifer, which she calls love simply because she's not sure what else to call it. It's not really until she and Squall grow together as a couple that she seems to truly grasp what love is. She's plenty used to flirting and infatuation, having experienced both frequently enough, but love is something relatively new to her; she is only 17, after all, albeit a very-worldly 17 year old.
She is generally a very lighthearted, cheerful, and playful person. She sees the glass as half-full rather than half-empty and is unafraid to challenge those with bleaker perspectives. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, right? Not that she’s always in a good mood, of course; she'll let you know if she's displeased. She's not afraid to say what she has to say, as a typical rule. Rinoa is an emotional person, and she expresses her emotions more freely than most. She does have an, albeit rare, serious side, which comes about when dealing with extremely personal matters and things like that.
Friends are, as stated earlier, the most important thing to her. She's a friendly sort; she won't be mean to you unless you've given her a reason to dislike you. Even if you're not exactly warm to her, she'll try to win your friendship, especially via teasing. Friends certainly will be the victims of teasing! On a more serious note, she's loyal and trustworthy, the type of person who will watch your back as you watch hers. So, in conclusion, be her friend! She likes having friends.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
strengths;
♥ Not so much applicable for this game, but she's the strongest known sorceress in her world.
♥ She's loyal and dependable.
♥ She is fully dedicated to her causes.
♥ She's optimistic and won't let just anything get her down.
♥ She's good with animals.
♥ She's good with people; she knows how to make friends, and she can even charm Mr. Grumpypants (aka Squall)
weaknesses;
✖ She's oftentimes quite naive and idealistic.
✖ She has a tendency to rashly rush into things, instead of thinking them over and planning them out.
✖ She's not a particularly gifted fighter, outside of her magic, especially when compared to the SeeDs and their honed military skills. She doesn't suck, per se; she's just not amazing.
✖ She's impatient.
✖ She's incredibly stubborn; when she sets her mind on something, she likely won't change it.
Pokemon
Starter: Growlithe~
Password: "Deviled" & "Eggs"
Samples
First Person Sample: [ The device seems to click on by accident, having fallen out of her bag, as you get a sideways shot of a young Growlithe and a girl dressed in a white dress with pink fringe. She seems to be…gesturing to it and speaking encouragingly? ]
…Go on~ Go find your owner! Can you manage that? [ The Pokémon just gives her a confused whine, to which she responds by placing her hands on her hips. ]
What am I going to do with you….oh! [ She finally notices the discarded PokéGear and picks it up, looking at it closely—so that the image being projected only shows one eye and part of her nose—before realizing that it's a video-talky-device and holding it at a more reasonable distance. ]
Is this thing on? Helloo? [ Short pause, before she gets too impatient to wait for a response. ] Can anyone tell me where this guy belongs…and how to get back to Balamb?
[ The feed continues for a few more minutes as she presses some buttons, before it cuts out. ]
Third Person Sample: “Sit, boy! C’mon…..good boy!”
Smiling, Rinoa kneeled down so that her face was level with the Growlithe’s.
Once she’d come to terms with the fact that he was indeed hers, she’d named him Angelo—well, technically his name was Angelo II, so as to be fair to her dog back home, but it was just easier to use the short form. The Pokédex had called him one of the “puppy Pokémon,” and she had to agree; there was definitely that puppyish air of excitement around him.
Which was why she was now attempting to teach him basic commands. It was something familiar, comforting; in a world where strange creatures roamed and she was left without her magic or her pinwheel, it was something to still have that connection.
She was aware that it might be more prudent to focus on reaching the next town over, but she didn’t see why taking a quick ‘training break’ should hurt all that much. She was tired; from defeating a crazy sorceress to being woken up early by some ‘Mom’ lady to trying to take in this new world, she kinda just wanted a breather.
Sitting herself down, she ran her fingers through Angelo’s hair, both to praise him and to keep her hands occupied as her mind wandered. She’d looked through the things in her bag, although, to be honest, she wasn’t sure what half of them were for. But she’d learned that the device—PokéGear—was for communicating and for identifying things (and possibly more), and the fairly normal items like food and clothing were easy enough to figure out.
Pulling one hand away from the Pokémon’s coat, she reached into her bag and pulled out one of those mystery balls. She’d always been the curious sort, and it was kind of eating away at her, not knowing what they were for. Maybe a more prudent trainer would have read through the handbook to catch hints, but she wasn’t much for reading the manual; she’d only really used it to figure out what to feed the poor little guy.
Twisting and turning the red-and-white ball in her hands, she eyed it closely before screwing up her face in exasperation. Not bothering to look at it anymore, she threw the useless thing towards what she hoped was the ground—
And suddenly there was no Angelo under her hand. Oops?
