I don't want the future. I want the present to stand still.

I don't really know. I... I think I was in love. I wonder how he felt...?
Do you still like him?
If I didn't, I wouldn't be talking about it. It was last summer... I was sixteen. Lots of fond memories...

n a m e :
Rinoa Heartilly. リノア・ハーティリー,
a g e :
Seventeen years of age.
s e x :
XX—Female.
e y e s :
Rinoa's eyes are a deep brown, flecked throughout with shades of gold and lighter honey tones, framed by a fringe of long, dark lashes. They are of average size and are slightly slanted, and are often the window to her soul: her emotions shine through them more often than not. They curve upwards when she smiles, like crescent moons, and fill easily with tears when she is sad, angry or overjoyed.
h a i r :
Rinoa's hair is a deep brown, almost black, and straight. It is layered slightly, falling to just below the shoulder. She has a fringe of bangs that fall to the left side to the eyebrow, and the right side is left nearly bare. There are golden highlights flecked throughout. Rinoa typically wears it down, and it is never really seen up in any way. It would take an awfully special occasion to make her wear it in a fancy up-do...
h e i g h t :
A bit on the tall side, Rinoa stands at one-hundred-sixty-three centimetres.
w e i g h t :
Though she normally doesn't disclose her weight, Rinoa is a healthy one-hundred-nineteen pounds.
s p e c i a l f e a t u r e s :
Though there is nothing truly notable about her appearance, the only thing that she would say would be the wings that are painted onto the back of her duster, along with the silver chain and ring around her neck. Though they are not particularly notable, she is almost never seen without them.

I guess... I'm getting scared. Sometimes... when I'm with all of you... I... feel like we're on the same wavelength...... you know? But when the battles start happening, it's different. Everyone's tempo seems to pick up and...... I get left behind. I try to catch up, but it's no use... How far is everyone going? I can't hear anyone... Once I catch up, I wonder... Is everyone safe? Will they welcome me with open arms? ...... Is everyone okay? Will we all make it back together? When I start thinking like that...

Loyal. Compassionate. Caring. Stubborn. Leader. Honest. Contradictory.
Loyal» Rinoa is extremely loyal, and would do anything for those she loves, respects, or cares for. It can sometimes make her rather hard-headed, but she does do everything in her power to keep people's respect and friendship. Loyalty is something that she gives, and hopes to receive in return.
Compassionate» She cares for those who are close to her, and those who need it. If someone is distressed or experiencing a hard time, Rinoa is always there to give them a shoulder to cry on, paired with kind, comforting words. -not done-

You know... Maybe this was all a big mistake. I thought everything would work out fine once SeeD came to help us. But, I guess it's not that easy. You were all hired. It's not like you're one of us. Um, let's see...

We'll cancel the plan, and we'll disperse for now. We don't stand a chance if we take 'em head on, right? So...you guys probably think this is all a game to us. ... Well, it's not! We're serious. So serious... it hurts.

Rinoa Heartilly is the daughter of Fury Caraway and Julia Heartilly. When Rinoa was five, Julia died in a car accident, and her relationship with her father grew rocky over time. She is a member of the resistance faction Forest Owls, based in Timber. Her father has full knowledge of her activities.
When she was sixteen Rinoa began a romantic relationship with a SeeD cadet named Seifer Almasy. It is from Seifer that she learned of the mercenary-for-hire service SeeD provided. Rinoa first met Squall during the SeeD celebration party at Balamb Garden, where she got him to dance, much to Quistis's shock. Rinoa herself was on an errand on behalf of the Timber Owls to convince Headmaster Cid Kramer to employ some SeeD mercenaries to aid her cause and, with Squall's unwitting help, was able to find Seifer without being too conspicuous on the dance floor. With Seifer's help she was introduced to Cid. Hearing her plight, Cid relented, allowing her the use of a group of three SeeDs at her disposal despite the meagre payment she offered in return and the complaints of the Garden Faculty.
The three SeeD chosen were Zell Dincht, Selphie Tilmitt, and, perhaps by fate, Squall Leonhart. While disappointed that Seifer was not part of the squad when they arrived in Timber she was nonetheless elated that SeeD had come, enveloping Squall in a hug upon his arrival. The SeeD group at first willingly assisted in Rinoa's plans to kidnap Vinzer Deling, the President of Galbadia, by hijacking his train. Although the plan was successfully deployed, the President aboard was a fake. Rendering the operation a failure, the SeeDs' confidence in the Timber group began to wane.
Returning to Timber, they learn that the real President was going to be in the Timber TV Station to make an announcement. The Forest Owls attempted to hatch a new plan, with their SeeD mercenaries watching skeptically from a distance. Squall requests to see the contract that bound the SeeD group to the Timber Owls, only to discover they were under Rinoa's command as long as Timber remained under Galbadian oppression. While on their way to infiltrate the TV Station, new intelligence indicated that, due to the large numbers of Galbadian soldiers, the agreed plan would have to be ditched. Squall expresses the SeeD group's misgivings about being part of such a casual organization and questions Rinoa's commitment to her goals. The argument ends with her leaving. Later, having seen the whole incident on the Timber TV Station screen, and discovering the Forest Owls' base destroyed, she returns and enters the station in pursuit of Seifer.
Arriving too late to find Seifer, she orders the SeeDs to help her lie low while the town is searched by the Galbadian forces. Contemplating Seifer's fate leads Squall and Rinoa into another argument over their views on life before they are given word that it is clear to leave town. On their way to Galbadia Garden, the two argue again, this time about Squall's cold attitude towards his team mates. The group makes it to the Garden and after some reminiscing about Seifer, who they presumed was dead from execution. Rinoa ended up revealing her past relationship with him, and after doing so, they receive new orders. Rinoa pretends to be a SeeD to avoid conflict and joins Squall's group in heading to Deling City to meet their contact, Rinoa's father General Caraway. After meeting with the SeeDs, General Caraway locks away Rinoa in another room and then turns to inform the SeeDs of his plan to assassinate the sorceress, Edea Kramer.
When the briefing finished, Rinoa finally managed to escape the room, rushing to Quistis to tell her of another plan to stop the sorceress by getting her to wear the Odine Bangle. Quistis, however, berated her; thinking that Rinoa's plan was only contrived to oppose her father's plan, Quistis walked off to her position. Left to her own devices, Rinoa proceeded to carry out her plan, infiltrating the Presidential Residence, and offers the bangle to Edea as a gift, but Edea casts a spell that renders Rinoa under her control. Like a puppet, Rinoa placidly followed Edea out onto the pedestal where she is designated as a sacrifice for the ceremony. Edea then summmons two Iguion statues from the wall, and they attack Rinoa.
Squall and Irvine manage to infiltrate the Presidential Residence in time to save her and in return she stayed and fought beside Squall when he attacked Edea. However, the attack proved unsuccessful and the group was captured and imprisoned in the D-District Prison. They were barred by Irvine who managed to escape. Irvine would eventually return, acting on orders from presumably Rinoa's father, to retrieve Rinoa from imprisonment and, with tenacious convincing from Rinoa, the pair would assist the rest of the group's escape from the compound.
During their capture, the group collectively learned that in retaliation for the attack on Sorceress Edea, Galbadia had targeted Balamb and Trabia Gardens in a missile attack. Splitting into two groups; Squall's group and Selphie's group, the party attempted to prevent the attack. Selphie's plan was to sabotage the missiles aimed at Trabia, and Squall proceeded to warn Balamb of the missiles.
Rinoa, having gone with Squall in his group, arrived at Balamb Garden while it was in the midst of chaos. A mysterious faction with allegiance to Master NORG, Balamb Garden's funder, had staged a revolt against Headmaster Cid. While helping those they could, Rinoa and Squall searched for the Headmaster to warn him of the missiles. Finally finding him bunkered in his office, the Headmaster instructs Squall of the Garden's past status as a mobile shelter built during the Centra era. Upon the activation of the ancient system, the Garden transformes into a mobile fortress and narrowly avoids destruction by moving away from the spot the missile's were programmed to target. Cleaning up loose ends due to the rebellion of Master NORG's faction in the Garden, Rinoa asks Squall for a personal tour of the facility, and in doing so begins to see another side to the taciturn loner. As a result she begins to take an interest in him, attempting to force him into a lighter mood whenever the opportunity arises.
Since there was no way to control the Garden's flight, the Garden crashes into Fisherman's Horizon. Squall is ordered to act as an ambassador and enact a formal apology, and Rinoa tags along. Mayor Dobe, the leader of the pacifist city, tells them to leave immediately, as their presence can only cause destruction. Galbadian soldiers eventually invade the town, and Dobe heads off to discuss peacefully with the soldiers. However, the soldiers do not listen, and he is eventually rescued by Squall. Grudgingly, the mayor accepts their apology, and orders the city's technicians to restore Balamb Garden to full functionality. During this the participants of Selphie's group reunite with Squall's group and for a moment Squall is seen to be almost elated. Of course, this doesn't go unnoticed by Rinoa.
With the Balamb Garden now mobile, Squall was appointed Commander of the Garden and SeeD, and to celebrate his friends held a concert for the sole purpose of lightening the load on Squall's shoulders, with Rinoa personally informing him of this. As his first command Squall liberated Balamb from Galbadian occupation. The next order was then to head to Trabia Garden, Selphie's home Garden and the first target for the missile attacks. He offered the Trabia students Balamb Garden's support. While waiting for Selphie to regroup with them, Rinoa begins voicing her worries about being a burden within the group and what would happen in the future. This causes the rest of the group to recollect their pasts and discover that they all were raised at the same time in an orphanage. Decisions were made and the Garden next embarked to the old orphanage, but they are intercepted by a similarly mobile Galbadia Garden. The Battle of the Gardens ensued, which resulted in Sorceress Edea's defeat and Rinoa mysteriously becoming comatose.
Rinoa's condition was of great concern to Squall, driving him to great lengths to find a reason behind the coma and how to wake her from it. Eventually being lead to Esthar, Squall is sent to space, where onboard the Lunar Base Rinoa awakens under the control of the sorceress who had been possessing Edea, Ultimecia. After being defeated twice, Ultimecia had left Edea's body to enter Rinoa's. Sorceress Ultimecia then uses Rinoa as a means to unlock Adel's Tomb. The evil sorceress then leaves Rinoa to die in space. However, Squall had ditched his escape pod from the exploding Lunar Base, and was able to intercept her and the two board the derelict Ragnarok.
On board of the Ragnarok, Squall communicates their current situation to Esthar, and then enables the ship's autopilot to return to the planet. During the trip, Rinoa and Squall embrace and share a tender conversation, with Squall confessing many things to Rinoa about himself and Rinoa telling him that now he is the one to give her the most comfort and happiness. The land base then communicates and Squall learns that Rinoa will be seized by the Esthar government upon landing.
Upon landing back in Esthar Rinoa was taken by Esthar officials to contain her sorceress powers in a new tomb on Sorceress Memorial. Squall intervened after being pushed into action by his friends, especially Quistis, breaking upon the seal of the Tomb and taking Rinoa away with him to Edea's Orphanage where Rinoa voices her concerns about being possessed again and turning evil. Squall then makes a silent vow to become Rinoa's Sorceress Knight. Rinoa asks Squall to kill her himself should her worst fear of becoming evil come to reality, but Squall reassures her that his enemy is Ultimecia alone and asks Rinoa to stay close to him. Rinoa then tells Squall about a nightmare she had in which she wanted to see him, but couldn't find him. The couple then make a promise to meet at the Flower Field in Edea's Orphanage should they be separated. This is a defining moment in the couple's relationship.
The group heads back to Esthar, and using the Ragnarok, they invade the Lunatic Pandora and fight through Seifer and Sorceress Adel (who was now Ultimecia's vessel). Ultimecia then orders Seifer to capture Rinoa, who is then junctioned to the physical body of Adel through Ultimecia's powers. Squall and the others must fight Adel/Ultimecia without harming Rinoa. They are successful in defeating Adel, who is forced to pass on her Sorceress Power to Rinoa before she can die in peace.
Because of Adel's demise, Ultimecia enters Rinoa once again, just as Ellone uses her powers to send Ultimecia and Rinoa back in time so that Ultimecia can cast Time Compression, which is a magic only possible to cast if the sorceress' consciousness exists in the past, present, and future. The process of Time Compression is long however, and the allotted time allows for Squall, Rinoa, Zell, Quistis, Irvine, and Selphie to enter Ultimecia Castle in the future, where Ultimecia awaits. Upon Ultimecia's demise the Time Compression unravels back to normal, leaving the combatants stranded in time. Each member managed to get back by remembering who they were and where they wanted to be. Rinoa reappeared in the flower field, where she and Squall had made their promise, but Squall was nowhere to be found.
Using her sorceress powers, she managed to locate Squall at the end of time. He was near death but for her arrival, and her belief that he would survive, Squall was saved from non-existence. The two were sent back to the flower field, alive and well. In the end, Rinoa is seen with Squall on the balcony, contemplating the stars. Rinoa then points up toward a shooting star. Squall smiles at her and the two embrace and kiss...
That was when Rinoa's world was destroyed, scattering her and her prescious people throughout Gaia, causing her great distress and a fiery will to track everyone down and bring them together once again. She is now wandering aimlessly around the places of this world, praying to come across a friendly face and, most importantly, the one she loves...

You're the best looking guy here. Dance with me? Let me guess... You'll only dance with someone you like. Okay then... Look into my eyes... You're-going-to-like-me... You're-going-to-like-me... Did it work?

[/size]Es mature. <3 Sorry!
It's not that I want a guard with me. You know...You're always too deep in thought. Why don't you lighten up a little? It's not good to think too much. What I'm trying to say is...It would be my honour... To have your company, your highness, in hope that I may get your mind off things. How about it, your highness?
