Rinoa serves as a foil to Squall as a person who can freely express emotion. Although she initially dislikes him for his coldness, she grows fond of him and encourages him to open up and talk about his feelings, as well as to tease him playfully to try and break through his shell. They eventually got together after the time compression and fight with Ultimecia. - #FinalFantasyVIII #Squall #Rinoa
