Background

As a member of the resistance group "The Forest Owls," Rinoa battled for liberation alongside her faithful dog Angelo.

She hired the mercenaries of SeeD to help her kidnap the president of Galbadia, only to be swept up in their battle against the sorceress.

An optimistic freethinker, her behavior is often considered unorthodox by others. She found herself at odds with the stoic, pragmatic SeeD Squall, but the pair eventually came to understand and even care for one another.

Rinoa has a hard time waking up, much to the chagrin of her allies in the Forest Owls.
