Personality:
Although somewhat shy, Rinoa is very straightforward and honest with those around her. Her tenderness, warm-hearted nature, and kind compassion makes her very endearing.
She is a lively young woman with the ability to touch people's hearts. Open and honest with her feelings, she speaks her mind without reservation. Driven by her ambition, she can be stubborn at times.
She originates from a forest town called Timber, fighting for their independence against the control from Galbadia. Her initial contact with SeeD starts through Seifer, but her feelings become more directed towards someone else.
Weapon: Blaster Edge
Abilities:
Rinoa's power is possibly the strongest out of all the Sorceress' in potential, although due to her having just received them and her own reservations about them it is unknown whether they manifest to full power or not. Rinoa's own strength lies in primal magic with no known alignment, evidence of this is shown by the effects of her Angel Wing Limit Break.
Combine: Rinoa teams up with Angelo to perform a variety of attacks, as well as certain effects.
Angel Wing: Two white angel wings appear on Rinoa's back and enable her to fly. While in the Angel Wing state Rinoa's magic damage is boosted five times more powerful than usual, and puts her into a Berserk Spellcasting state in which she uses only magic.
Items:None
Summons:None
History:
Rinoa was born and raised in Deling City. Her parents are Colonel Caraway of the Galbadian Army and the deceased singer Julia Heartilly. She lives at home but whenever her father becomes too much for her to handle, she resides on a train stationed at or near Timber City. While on this train, she's an active member of a resistance group named The Forest Owls. As a new Forest Owl member she spends time planning strategies while using military tactics learnt through her father.
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.
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.
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 attempt 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 follows 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 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. 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.
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.
Other:Her dog Angelo is with her most of the time.
