Rinoa's mother

[Shattered Dreamer]

I came across an interesting fact(well maybe) during my latest ongoing play through of FFVIII. At the beginning of Disc 2 where you are playing as Laguna in Windhill I noticed something interesting. When you are talking to Kiros in Raine's pub there is an option during the conversation how is Julia (or something to that effect). Kiros then tells Laguna she is with a guy named General Caraway ie Rinoa's father.

So the question is does anyone else like myself reckon Julia (the piano player turned singer from the Deling City Hotel) is Rinoa's mother?

[Ouch!]

I didn't think there was any doubt about this at all.

hey that might be true :0!!!!!!11one!

im also working on a theory
ive been noticing a lot of evidence pointing to the fact that this pope might just well be a catholic

Don't be a jerk, Marky Tee.

Yes, Julia is Rinoa's mother, and Laguna and Raine are Squall's parents.

What if Laguna knocked up Julia before she left to General Caraway and when Caraway had sex with her he naturally thought that he was the father? That would make Squall and Rinoa brother and sister thus their relationship would be incest.

The only chance of that is if Julia raped Laguna while he was sleeping after talking about himself so much. They DID have wine, and she MAY have slipped something into it.

She would also have to be pregnant for over a year.

And yes Julia is Rinoa's Mother, Rinoa's last name is Heartilly. Though im not sure why it isnt Caraway possibly because Square wanted to be sure there was no doubt. I still dont get where they got the name Leonheart though.

Given that Rinoa ran away from home to lead a resistence movement against the government for which her father works (and as a very famous general, no less), it would make sense that she might not want to share a last name with the enemy.

Leonheart is presumably Raine's last name. I don't think it's officially stated anywhere in the game, though. Perhaps the Ultimania?

Could even be a possibility that Caraway himself didn't want Rinoa to have his surname, lest she become a more obvious target to enemies or something.

take a guess....

[Garnie]

I thought that was obvious actually. Because i was all like "WOW" and stuff. I get how it could confuse others though. the game isn't very clear on a lot of things.

The whole point of the romance plots in the game, though, is to prove that true love and destiny can exist across generations. Laguna and Julia were in love and were never able to be together, but their love manifested in their (separate) children.
