Squall
Main article: Squall Leonhart

Squall Leonhart (スコール・レオンハート, Sukōru Reonhāto?) is the primary protagonist and a young student at Balamb Garden, identifiable by the scar on his face that a fellow student, Seifer, inflicted. He rarely speaks and has the reputation of being a lone wolf.[5] As Squall's story unfolds, he becomes fascinated with and falls in love with Rinoa,[5] despite never outwardly expressing such until the ending.[18] Squall is characterized by forlorn memories of standing out in the rain at the orphanage where he grew up, wondering where "Sis" went.[19][20] Squall's weapon is a gunblade, a sword that uses components of a revolver to send vibrations through the blade when triggered.[21] His Limit Break is a series of sword strikes called Renzokuken.[22]
[edit] Rinoa

Rinoa Heartilly (リノア・ハーティリー, Rinoa Hātirī?) is the primary female protagonist. She is the seventeen-year-old[5] daughter of General Caraway, a high-ranking officer in the Galbadian army, and Julia Heartilly, a successful pianist and singer. Rinoa is a member of the Forest Owls, a resistance faction seeking to liberate the small nation of Timber from Galbadian occupation. When the party helps the resistance movement fight Galbadia, Rinoa decides to stay with them. As a result she ends up falling in love with Squall[18]. In battle, she uses a weapon called a "Blaster Edge",[23] which consists of an arm holster and a projectile that returns like a boomerang. In her Combine Limit Break, she attacks in unison with her dog, Angelo.[22] When Rinoa gains Sorceress powers, she acquires a second Limit Break, Angel Wing, which increases her spell-casting ability, along with rendering her in a state of "magic" berserk for the remainder of the battle.
From left, Tetsuya Nomura's designs of Selphie, Rinoa, and Quistis

When designing Rinoa, Tetsuya Nomura emphasized that he tried to avoid letting the possibilities presented by the recent advancements in full motion video technology become the entire focus, believing that these innovations might tempt developers to make their female characters "too beautiful" and focus more on physical appearance than personality. With this concern in mind, Nomura set out with the intention to avoid making Rinoa gorgeous, and to simply make her "cute" instead. To further emphasize this, he wrote a list of vocabulary traits and physical habits for Rinoa's character that he felt conveyed this idea of "cute, not gorgeous", and sent them to Nojima along with the character's design.[8]

Although Squall and Rinoa clearly develop a relationship, it is never explicit until the final cutscene. IGN criticized this, stating that "considering that the love story is so integral to everything that happens—not to mention forming the central image of the box art—it's incomprehensible why no one says 'I love you' to anyone, ever".[18] Game Revolution, however, stated "Frankly, you don't even have to play the game to know that love will win out in some way... very 'Hollywood.' But it is the way in which they tell the story that sets it apart from being just some teen-angst drama".[24] In terms of Rinoa herself, when the Game Revolution reviewer cited the wish that the game had voice acting, he specifically mentioned Rinoa, stating "there is something sorely missing when I can't hear Rinoa talk".[24] She is also the subject of numerous fansites, as well as an 8.0 rating on WomenGamers.com.[25] GamesRadar wrote an article about the top seven lazy character cliches, using Rinoa amongst others as an example of the "pure hearted love interest."[26] They again mentioned her, including her in an article of characters who are hot in their art and in cutscenes but ugly in their in-game graphics. In the cutscenes, they describe Rinoa as lovable and pretty while wearing a dress a normal person would wear, her in-game appearance was nowhere near as attractive.[27]
[edit] Laguna

Laguna Loire (ラグナ・レウァール, Raguna Rewāru?) is a man whose past and relation to the main characters are revealed slowly throughout the game. Most of the sequences involving Laguna appear in the form of "dreams" experienced by the protagonists. Squall always experiences these dreams from Laguna's point of view, although he does not think too highly of Laguna.[28][29] Laguna attacks with a machine gun and his Limit Break, Desperado,[30] which involves a swinging rope, a grenade, and a lot of bullets. During the dream segments, he is a twenty-seven-year-old soldier in the Galbadian army who travels with his companions, Kiros Seagill and Ward Zabac.[5] He is also an aspiring journalist whose real weapon of choice is writing.[5]

During the first two dream segments, he and his team are shown getting lost and visiting the hotel where singer Julia Heartilly, Laguna's romantic interest, performs.[31][32] After a scouting mission at Centra, the three soldiers are separated and Laguna is injured. A young woman named Raine takes him to Winhill where he is nursed back to health.[33] He falls in love with and marries her. However, he is drawn away from his new home when a young girl in their care, Ellone, is kidnapped. Laguna tracks her down in Esthar, where he helps liberate the nation from the despotic rule of Sorceress Adel. The people of Esthar elect Laguna as their president and Ellone is sent back to Winhill without him.[34] After Raine dies, her child (whom Ward and Kiros imply to be Squall in a conversation aboard the Ragnarok) and Ellone are sent to an orphanage.[35] Laguna is unable to leave his post to visit her and remains president of Esthar to present day.[36] Ellone and Laguna are reunited in space,[37] and Laguna helps the party prepare for their fight against Ultimecia.

The concept of two main characters was planned since the beginning of the game's development. Nomura tried to create a contrast between Laguna's and Squall's occupations; thus, Laguna became a soldier and Squall became a mercenary student. The designers intended Laguna to be more similar to the previous protagonists in the series to complement Squall, who is different from previous main characters.[8] He is ranked seventh in Electronic Gaming Monthly's list of the top ten video game politicians.[38]
[edit] Seifer

Seifer Almasy (サイファー・アルマシー, Saifā Arumashī?) is a classmate and rival of Squall, who can only be controlled by the player during the Dollet sequence. He reappears as a boss later in the game. He acts as a foil to Squall in many respects, having dated Rinoa before she met Squall,[39] and assuming a leadership position among his friends.[40] Like Squall, Seifer wields a gunblade which he calls "Hyperion".[41] His Limit Break, Fire Cross, allows him to use an attack called No Mercy. He later uses the more powerful techniques Demon Slice and Bloodfest against the player. Seifer has a short temper and is often depicted as a bully who desires attention.[42][43] He is also fiercely independent and is often punished for his recklessness.[44] He is the leader of Balamb Garden's disciplinary committee with his friends Fujin and Raijin. After joining Ultimecia, he becomes the leader of the Galbadian army.

During the introduction sequence, Seifer cuts Squall across the left side of his face with his gunblade, leaving a scar. Squall retaliates with a backhand slash that leaves Seifer with a mirrored scar. At the following field exam in Dollet, Seifer acts independently from his teammates Squall and Zell, abandoning them; consequently, he fails and is not promoted to SeeD.[44] Spurred by dreams of a brighter future, he defects to Sorceress Edea so he could be her "knight".[45] From his point of view, Squall and the others are "evil" and he recognizes himself as a hero.[46] As Seifer is brainwashed by the sorceress, he alienates himself from his friends. Eventually, Fujin and Raijin abandon him and he is defeated shortly afterward.[47] At the end of the game, Seifer is seen fishing and having fun with Fujin and Raijin again.

Nomura had originally intended Seifer not only as Squall's rival, but also as part of the love triangle between him, Squall, and Rinoa. Although this concept was not thoroughly explored in the final script, Seifer remains Squall's rival and his appearance was designed to contrast with Squall's. They have equivalent but mirrored scars on their faces and their jackets are of opposing color and length. Both characters use gunblades; Squall's gunblade is larger and requires two hands, while Seifer's gunblade is lighter and can be wielded with one hand.[8] A younger version of Seifer makes an appearance in Kingdom Hearts II as a member of the Twilight Town Disciplinary Committee with Fujin and Raijin. Seifer in the virtual Twilight Town is a rival of the main character, Roxas, and at one point mentions that he does not wish to cooperate with destiny.[48] In the English version, he is voiced by Will Friedle.[49]

The book "Converging Traditions in the Digital Moving Image: Architectures of Illusion, Images of Truth" discusses that while Seifer is seen as a show-off and a troublemaker, protagonist Squall Leonhart identifies with him.[50]
[edit] Quistis

Quistis Trepe (キスティス・トゥリープ, Kisutisu Turīpu?) is an eighteen-year-old instructor at Balamb Garden, where Squall, Zell, and Seifer are students.[5] She uses a chain whip in battle,[51] and her Limit Break, Blue Magic, a common ability found throughout the Final Fantasy games, allows her to imitate monsters' attacks.[22] Early in the game, Quistis is discharged as an instructor because she "[lacks] leadership qualities".[52] Afterwards, she maintains a more informal relationship with the other characters as a fellow member of SeeD.

As a child, Quistis stayed at an orphanage with most of the main characters. She then lived with foster parents, with whom she never developed any intimacy, before moving to Galbadia Garden [53] at age ten.[54] She became a SeeD at fifteen and an instructor two years later.[5][55] Quistis initially joins Squall to prepare him for his upcoming field exam. She later takes Squall into her confidence and tells him personally about her demotion.[56] As a result, Squall stops paying attention to her, which leads to Quistis asking if he is paying attention. Squall rudely tells her to go "talk to a wall", a famous comical line in the game, and not to burden him with her problems. This furthers the player's perception of Squall's awkwardness and anti-social tendencies. When Irvine refreshes the main characters' memories about the orphanage, they remember that Squall's asocial behavior began when Ellone, an older sister figure to Squall, left the orphanage unexpectedly. As a result of these revelations, Quistis recognizes that her feelings for Squall are more sisterly than romantic.[57] Later, she criticizes Squall when he nearly abandons Rinoa, his romantic interest.[58]

When designing the characters, Nomura had wanted at least one female character to wear a skirt. Quistis was originally supposed to fill this part, but Nomura decided a long skirt worn over pants would look better. The role was eventually passed to Selphie. Nomura was surprised when the writers cast her as a teacher, despite being around the same age as the rest of the group.[8]
[edit] Selphie

Selphie Tilmitt (セルフィ・ティルミット, Serufi Tirumitto?) is a student at Balamb Garden who recently transferred from Trabia Garden. She is active and energetic, although slightly clumsy.[5] She participates in many extracurricular activities, such as planning the Garden Festival[59] and running the school's website. She wields nunchaku in battle,[60] and her Limit Break Slot allows the player to cast a random spell numerous times.[22] In addition to battle, she pilots the Ragnarok starship.[61]

Selphie first appears when running into Squall while late for class. She asks Squall to show her around because she recently transferred. During the Dollet exam, Selphie joins Squall's team after Seifer abandons them.[62] She becomes a SeeD with Squall and Zell, and the three are assigned to the same team. When Galbadia launches missiles at Trabia Garden, she reacts with outrage and helps destroy the missile base.[63] Throughout the game, she revisits her childhood closeness with Irvine,[64] who serves as her copilot on the Ragnarok.

Selphie was the second character that Nomura drew, after Squall, intentionally giving her an impractical hairstyle. When he first designed Selphie, Nomura drew her in overalls; however, he realized that none of the characters would be wearing a skirt. In the end, he gave Selphie a mini-skirt and let Quistis have pants.[8] In the Kingdom Hearts series, Nomura included a younger version of Selphie as a resident of Destiny Islands.[65] This Selphie uses a jump rope instead of nunchaku and is voiced by Molly Keck in the English release.[49]
[edit] Zell

Zell Dincht (ゼル・ディン, Zeru Din?) is a student at Balamb Garden with Squall and Seifer. Seventeen years old,[5] Zell is a martial artist; his weapons are gloves,[66] and his Limit Break, Duel, requires the player to input button combinations on the controller to deal damage.[22] Zell is slightly impulsive and overconfident in his own skill; however, he is loyal to his friends.[5] Zell is often used as comic relief; Seifer gives him the nickname "chicken-wuss" and other characters begin using it as well.[67] He also has a passion for hot dogs; a recurring gag is that they are always sold out by the time he reaches the cafeteria.

Zell lived at the same orphanage as many of the other protagonists; this is where Seifer first began to bully him. He was later adopted by the Dincht family in the town of Balamb.[68] His motivation for enrolling at Garden is to live up to the memory of his grandfather, a famous soldier.[5]

Zell was designed to look and act like the main character of a shōnen manga (Japanese comic books intended primarily for boys);[8] his neighbors in Balamb describe him as a "'comic-bookish' type of hero".[69] He also thinks of himself as Seifer's rival, despite not being the main character.[70] The inspiration for the tattoo on his face came from an MTV music video that featured a man with a full body tattoo.[8]

Zell's ultimate weapon is named Ehrgeiz, directly referencing the other title as they both came out around the same time. Curiously, Zell's Ehrgeiz is a set of gloves, whereas in Ehrgeiz, the weapon is a broadsword. Also, his final limit break "My Final Heaven", is sort of a shot at Tifa Lockhart of the previous game, who possessed "Final Heaven" as her own final limit break.
[edit] Irvine

Irvine Kinneas (アーヴァイン・キニアス, Āvain Kiniasu?) is a student at Galbadia Garden, one of the three mercenary academies in the game. He is one of the Garden's elite sharpshooters,[71] always carrying his rifle.[72] His Limit Break is Shot, which deals damage and inflicts status effects depending on the type of ammunition.[22] Irvine is depicted as a cowboy, tall and fair-skinned with long brown hair that he wears pulled back in a ponytail.[8] He also enjoys flirting with the female characters,[73] being known as well for his marksmanship as his charm.[72] He acts like a carefree, but misunderstood loner;[74] however, this is merely a façade to charm women and hide his lack of confidence.[75]

When Sorceress Edea becomes the Galbadian ambassador, Balamb and Galbadia Gardens order Squall's team to assassinate her; Irvine is introduced as the sniper for the mission. Moments before the assassination attempt, he explains to Squall that he always chokes under pressure.[75] At Trabia Garden, Irvine reveals that he and most of the other party members had lived in the same orphanage, run by Cid and Edea Kramer. However, the others could not remember this because of their use of Guardian Forces (GF), magical beings who cause severe long-term memory loss as a side effect.[76] Because Irvine had not used a GF until he joined the party, he is able to remember his past.[77] During the game, Irvine gradually draws closer to Selphie,[78] acting on the feeling he has had since living with her at the orphanage.[64]

With Irvine, Nomura tried to strike a balance between not overshadowing Squall and not becoming too unattractive. He gave Irvine a handsome appearance, but a casual personality, hoping that this would make him less attractive than Squall. Keeping with this idea, Nomura gave him goggles; however, this idea was abandoned in favor of an American cowboy-like appearance to set him apart from other goggle-wearing characters in the Final Fantasy series.[8]
[edit] Kiros

Kiros Seagill (キロス・シーゲル, Kirosu Shīgeru?) is one of Laguna's comrades in the Galbadian Army. He fights with Kataras (कटार) (dual blades), with which he repeatedly slices his enemies in his Limit Break, Blood Pain. His weapons' name is given as "katal" in the English localization of the game. Following the failed mission in Centra, Kiros is separated from Laguna and Ward. He heals quickly and decides to leave the Galbadian army, but soon finds that life without Laguna lacks excitement. His subsequent search for Laguna brings him to Winhill after nearly a year.[79] When Laguna is forced to leave Winhill to find Ellone, Kiros accompanies him, helping him earn money as an amateur actor to fund the expedition.[80] Kiros remains by Laguna's side throughout his adventures in Esthar, earning a place as Laguna's advisor when he becomes president. Like Ward, Kiros' interactions with Laguna are based on the staff's interactions during development.[8]
[edit] Ward

Ward Zabac (ウォード・ザバック, Wōdo Zabakku?) is Laguna's other comrade. An imposing man, he wields a large harpoon in battle; in his Limit Break, Massive Anchor, he uses it to crush his opponents from above. During the incident at Centra, he loses his voice in a battle with Esthar soldiers.[81] After being separated from Laguna and Kiros, he becomes a janitor at the D-District Prison. When Laguna becomes president of Esthar, Ward joins Kiros as an advisor, directing affairs with gestures and ellipses. Laguna and Kiros can understand what he is saying by his reactions.[81] Like Kiros, Ward's interactions with Laguna are based on the staff's interactions during development.[8]
[edit] Edea
Tetsuya Nomura emulated the style of his predecessor, Yoshitaka Amano, in his design of Edea.

Edea Kramer (イデア・クレイマー, Idea Kureimā?) is initially presented as a power-hungry sorceress who seizes control of Galbadia from President Deling.[82] Her motives are unknown, but SeeD is dispatched to assassinate her. Edea is also the wife of Headmaster Cid,[83] and was known as "Matron" to Squall and his friends during the time when they lived with her at the orphanage.[84] It is eventually revealed that Edea was possessed by a sorceress from the future named Ultimecia.[85] When Ultimecia's control is broken, Edea takes the side of the SeeDs in the struggle and joins the party for a short time. However, she accidentally gives her powers to Rinoa, making her a sorceress.[86] Being a sorceress, Edea attacks with magical bursts of energy and her Limit Break, Ice Strike, consists of a magically conjured icicle, hurled like a javelin. This Limit Break is depicted in a cutscene during her coronation as head of Galbadia when Ultimecia commands Edea's body to pierce Squall with it.

Edea is one of three character concepts, along with Fujin and Raijin, to have been created before Final Fantasy VIII. Nomura had designed Edea before the development of Final Fantasy VII, based on the style of Yoshitaka Amano.[8]
[edit] Other characters
[edit] Adel

Adel (アデル, Aderu?) is a sorceress from Esthar who initiated the Sorceress War. As the ruler of Esthar, she ordered her soldiers to abduct every girl to find a suitable successor, including Ellone.[35] During the Esthar revolution, Laguna and Dr. Odine placed her in suspended animation in outer space.[87] After Edea is released from Ultimecia's control, Ultimecia commands Rinoa to free Adel so she can become Ultimecia's new vessel.[88] The party defeats Adel when she tries to absorb Rinoa at the Lunatic Pandora.
[edit] Cid

Quote:
Cid Kramer (シド・クレイマー, Shido Kureimā?) is the headmaster of Balamb Garden. After the failed assassination attempt on Edea, the Garden Master, NORG, attempts to seize power from Cid and reconcile with Edea.[89] This sparks an internal conflict, in which the students and personnel side with either Cid or NORG.[90] However, Squall and Xu quell the conflict and return Cid to power. Afterward, Cid aggressively confronts NORG, who started the conflict over financial issues.[91] Cid is the husband of Sorceress Edea, with whom he ran an orphanage and founded the SeeD organization. They are estranged for most of the game, however, because they lead opposing factions until Ultimecia releases her magical possession of Edea.

Because most Final Fantasy titles include a character named "Cid", Nomura wanted to design someone with differences from the past Cids in the series. He gave this version of Cid the appearance and personality of an older, benevolent character who would watch over Squall's party and offer them advice and motivation. Nojima decided that this type of good-natured character would work best as the headmaster of Balamb Garden.[8]
[edit] Ellone

Ellone (エルオーネ, Eruōne?) is a mysterious girl and the missing "Sis" of Squall's past.[20] She has the ability to send a person's consciousness back in time and into the body of another, so they can experience the actions of that person. She uses this talent to send Squall's party into Laguna's past adventures, hoping that they would alter the past; however, she eventually realizes that her abilities can only view history, not alter it.[92] Ultimecia needs this power to achieve time compression, so she uses the Galbadian military to find her.[93] After Ellone's parents were killed by Esthar soldiers, she lived with Raine until she was captured by Esthar.[35] She shares a close relationship with her adoptive uncle, Laguna, who rescues her from Esthar. After Raine's death, she moves to Cid's orphanage, where she becomes an older sister figure to Squall and the other orphans, before following Cid to Balamb Garden.
[edit] Fujin

Fujin (風神, Fūjin?) is a young woman with pale skin, short silver hair and an eye patch. She is a member of Balamb Garden's disciplinary committee with Seifer and Raijin; the three of them form a close "posse",[40] even when Seifer leaves Garden. Fujin prefers to speak in terse sentences, often with only a single word, such as "RAGE!" and "LIES!" (in the Japanese version she only spoke in Kanji). However, near the end of the game, she explains to Squall that she will temporarily break ties with Seifer because of his recent behavior.[47] In battle, Fujin wields a chakram and uses wind-based magic. She shares her name with the Japanese god of wind, Fūjin.

Fujin and Raijin were to appear in Final Fantasy VII; however, the designers excluded them due to their similarity to the Turks.[8] In Kingdom Hearts II, Fujin appears as "Fuu", a member of Seifer's gang. In the Japanese version, she is voiced by Rio Natsuki while in the English version, she is voiced by Jillian Bowen.[49]
[edit] Raijin

Raijin (雷神?) is a member of Balamb Garden's disciplinary committee with Seifer and Fujin;[94] the three form a close "posse", as he calls it.[40] He has a habit of ending his sentences with "ya know" (もんよ, mon'yo?, in the Japanese version). Like Fujin, he supports Seifer when he betrays SeeD and Garden to side with Edea. Near the end of the game, he stands by Fujin's plea to the party to help save Seifer from himself.[47] In the ending FMV, he celebrates catching a large fish until Fujin kicks him into the water. In battle, Raijin uses thunder-based magic and a bō staff with large weights on either end. He shares his name with the Japanese god of thunder, Raijin.

Raijin and Fujin were to appear in Final Fantasy VII; however, the designers decided against it due to their similarity to the Turks.[8] In Kingdom Hearts II, Raijin appears as "Rai", a member of Seifer's gang. In the English version, he is voiced by Brandon Adams.[49]
[edit] Ultimecia

Ultimecia (アルティミシア, Arutimishia?) is the primary antagonist of Final Fantasy VIII. Because she operates through the body of Edea Kramer, her role is not discovered until late in the game. While possessing Edea, Ultimecia gains control of Galbadia and later possesses Rinoa to release Sorceress Adel from her orbital prison. A sorceress from the future, Ultimecia is capable of reaching back through time via a special machine to possess other sorceresses.[95] She seeks to achieve "Time Compression", which would cause all eras to merge;[96] this would extinguish all life but hers.[97] Squall and his comrades use the moment during time compression to travel to her time and defeat her,[96] initiating a sequence of events that would lead to the formation of SeeD.[98]

Ultimecia is the villainess representing Final Fantasy VIII in Dissidia: Final Fantasy, where she is voiced by Atsuko Tanaka (Japanese) and Tasia Valenza (English).
[edit] Minor characters
[edit] Biggs and Wedge
See also: Characters named Biggs and Wedge in the rest of the series

Biggs and Wedge are members of the Galbadian Army. Biggs is an officer and Wedge is an enlisted soldier.[99] After the main characters defeat the duo at Dollet, they are demoted in rank.[100] The protagonists encounter them again at the D-District Prison. A third meeting at the Lunatic Pandora does not result in conflict; instead, they quit the Galbadian army.[101] They continue the Final Fantasy tradition of including two characters with the same names as Star Wars pilots Biggs Darklighter and Wedge Antilles.
[edit] General Caraway

General Fury Caraway is a member of the Galbadian military who advises the main characters on their mission to assassinate Sorceress Edea.[102] When Laguna left Galbadia, Caraway comforted Julia; eventually, they married and had a child, Rinoa.[103] Caraway and Rinoa have a problematic relationship; he attempts to prevent her from participating in the assassination attempt.[104] However, he later arranges her freedom from the D-District Prison.
[edit] Deling

Vinzer Deling is the President of Galbadia. He appoints Sorceress Edea as a supposed "peace ambassador" to resolve Galbadia's political problems with other nations.[105] His body double is defeated by SeeD and the Forest Owls resistance group.[106] Edea kills him during her welcoming ceremony at Deling City and seizes power in Galbadia.[82]
[edit] Mayor Dobe and Flo

Mayor Dobe is the leader of Fishermans Horizon, a town in the middle of a transoceanic highway between the continents of Galbadia and Esthar. He and his wife, Flo, detest violence and oppose the Garden's presence in his territory.[107] Squall and his party save the Mayor from certain death when the Galbadian army invades the town.
[edit] Forest Owls

The Forest Owls are a small resistance faction that oppose the Galbadian occupation of Timber, a town in the eastern part of the continent. A man named Zone is the leader, and Rinoa and Watts are members. Most people of Timber are affiliated with a resistance group, although the Forest Owls are the only active ones.[108]
[edit] Julia

Julia Heartilly (ジュリア・ハーティリー, Juria Hātirī?) is a pianist at a Galbadian hotel frequented by Laguna during his days as a soldier. After being secretly admired by Laguna for some time, Julia introduces herself, as depicted in one of the flashback sequences.[109] Julia reveals to Laguna her dream of writing her own songs and becoming a singer. Laguna is shipped out on new orders the following day and the ensuing circumstances prevent him from returning. Julia eventually marries Galbadian military officer General Caraway and has a daughter, Rinoa.[103] She also finds success with her song "Eyes On Me", which is also the game's theme song.[110] She is killed several years before the start of the game in a car accident.[111] Julia is the only character in the game with an explicit character theme, named "Julia", which is a piano arrangement of Eyes On Me.
[edit] Raine

Raine (レイン, Rein?), later Raine Loire (レイン・レウァール, Rein Rewāru?), is Laguna's second love depicted in the flashbacks. She finds him injured at the bottom of a cliff and brings him to her hometown of Winhill to recover. She is irked at first by Laguna's bad habits and reluctance to express himself outright,[112] but the two grow close and marry. After Laguna becomes President of Esthar, his duties thwart his efforts to return to Winhill. Raine dies after giving birth to a child, who, along with Ellone, is taken away to Edea's orphanage.[35] It is strongly implied by Ward and Kiros, as well as by gaming writers and fans, that Squall is their child.[113][114]
[edit] Martine

Martine is the head of Galbadia Garden. His superior, Balamb Garden's master NORG, orders him to use SeeD members to carry out the assassination plot against Sorceress Edea. When Squall and his team travel to Galbadia Garden after fleeing Timber, Martine orders them to carry out the mission. He hopes that using Balamb Garden's SeeDs would deflect responsibility for the plot onto NORG.[115] His actions trigger the conflict within Balamb Garden when Garden Master NORG tries to kill Headmaster Cid to appease Sorceress Edea after the mission fails.[89] Afterward, the Galbadian military seizes Galbadia Garden and Martine flees to the pacifist city of Fishermans Horizon.
[edit] NORG

NORG is an exiled Shumi who lent Cid the money to build and develop the Garden and took the position of Garden Master upon its completion.[116] NORG is more concerned about the revenue acquired by SeeD as a mercenary organization rather than its noble duty of opposing the Sorceress; he is considered a "black sheep" of the Shumi tribe.[116] After hearing about a failed assassination attempt on Sorceress Edea, NORG begins to distrust Headmaster Cid and tries to seize control of Balamb Garden, causing a conflict between factions loyal to NORG and Cid. Feigning loyalty to the Sorceress, he attempts to kill the SeeDs who carried out the failed assassination.[89] After he is defeated in battle, he enters a cocoon-like state. Shumis from the Shumi village later appear at the site of his defeat. They appear to have removed him from his cocoon by cracking it open. They also apologize for NORG's behaviour.
[edit] Dr. Odine

Dr. Odine is a scientist and magic researcher from Esthar. He discovered the GFs and junctioning and engineered a machine that mimics Ellone's power.[95] Seventeen years before the game, he developed the necessary technology to allow Laguna to entomb Adel. As a researcher of the Lunatic Pandora,[117] he also helps to prevent it from reaching Tears' Point and initiating a Lunar Cry.[118] Odine also plays a role in the plot to destroy Ultimecia, explaining how to survive time compression.[96]
[edit] Minor SeeD members

Several other SeeD members assist Squall's party. Dr. Kadowaki is the Balamb Garden doctor who tends to Squall's wounds after his fight with Seifer in the opening sequence. She also helps Headmaster Cid after his confrontation with NORG. Nida (another Star Wars reference, along with Biggs and Wedge) is a student at Balamb Garden who passes the SeeD exam along with Squall. He pilots Balamb Garden after it becomes a mobile base.[119] Lastly, Xu is a high ranking SeeD who helps Squall during the Dollet mission and the Garden civil war between NORG and Cid.[120] She is friends with Quistis and a member of Squall's staff once he becomes the leader of Balamb Garden.[121]
