Rinoa Heartilly

Weapon: Pinwheel
Limit Break: Combine
Age: 17

Rinoa is a member of the resistance of Timber known as the "Forest Owls" which is fighting for their independence from the control from Galbadia. She is an honest, straight-forward person who is not afraid to voice her opinions and fight for what she believes in. Rinoa originally comes in contact with Seifer but in time her heart is taken by someone else...

Limit Break

Rinoa's Combine limit break is very simple, choose combine in battle and depending on which of her limit breaks you have learned, Angelo will rush out and do various things. Rinoa learns her limit breaks by reading Pet Pals Magazines which are bought and found throughout the game, once you have read the magazine you can choose which limit break to start learning by going to Rinoa's status menu and selecting the limit break you wish to learn. After walking around with Rinoa in your party for a while, the bar will begin to fill and when it fills up Rinoa learns the limit break, you'll hear a sound once the limit break has been learned. Rinoa also has various limit breaks that cannot be used with Combine but rather happen at random intervals during battle. Rinoa's Combine limit breaks and random limit breaks are listed below.
