Rinoa Heartilly

Best Female Characters (46 items)
list by Paulo Júnior

Playable character in Final Fantasy VIII. She wields a unique weapon called the blaster edge in battle, a bladed projectile she launches from a firing mechanism on her left arm. After hitting the target, the projectile returns to Rinoa like a boomerang. Rinoa's faithful dog, Angelo, accompanies her in battle by attacking the enemy or aiding the party.

Rinoa is known for her trademark angel wings printed on the back of her duster sweater and, as such, her "character symbol" is a white feather that signifies the wings. She is Squall Leonhart's love interest and is featured in the game's logo with him. Apart from the angel wings symbol and her ring, shooting stars have a significance to Rinoa. She points at a shooting star during her introductory scene, her most potent weapon is Shooting Star, and her ultimate Limit Breaks is called Wishing Star.
