Sorceress Selphie? (possible spoilers)

[Serapy]

We have talked about this before

Yes, Selphie had a higher potential/chance to be a sorceress than any other woman (except Matron, Rinoa, Ultimecia and Adel) if we entirely focus on the hints.

However, this has never been properly explained/disproved/proved in the game, so we may never know for sure. This assumption is based on the basis that Selphie and Rinoa were originally the same person or Selphie being non-existent during the inital development stage of VIII. So, basically, the team added Selphie AFTER Rinoa and made Rinoa as a sorceress instead.

There are other hints that Rinoa and Selphie were the same person, and I'll show you:


Look at her shadows. ^^

~ The very first demo version of VIII. In it, Rinoa was displayed instead of Selphie. This could suggest that either Selphie weren't added to the game before Rinoa or they changed the writing story.

~ Look at Selphie's final limit break very carefully. I strongly believe that that limit break was meant to be Rinoa's. So, what happened? The devs probably were lazy, so they let Selphie have the 'The End' limit break. Reason? Maybe they were hurrying? This could also suggest that the whole concept of Selphie was added after Rinoa during the development.

~ At Balamb Garden when Squall was bumped by Selphie, could that have been Rinoa? Isn`t it ironic that Selphie asked Squall for a tour of the Garden in the beginning and then later in the game, Rinoa asked him the same question?

~ Selphie grew up with the others at the orphanage, could that have been Rinoa? Because there were too many events involving that orphanage, so the development team didn't have any time, so they replaced Rinoa with Selphie in these events and changed her dialogues abit.

~ There`s also this computer incident at Trabia Garden, where Selphie became involved and stopped Squall from accessing her files. Basically, there`s something Selphie doesn`t want him know about.
For some reason, this sounds quite irrelevant because the incident grants you the ability to read about Laguna`s adventures on the Balamb School Network at your study panel. Irrelevant how? Selphie (who caused drama in the incident = prerequisite) and disclosures of Laguna`s adventures as a reward don`t seem to be connected with each other. It`s either that or a diary about her unusual feelings in relevance to a being of a sorceress. If it`s the latter, then Rinoa obviously didn`t want Squall to be worried when he read her files, so she simply stopped him from accessing her files. Squall fully acknowledged this after this incident.

Ok, so ... that was Rinoa, not Selphie. Although, Rinoa and Laguna are obviously not connected with each other, but there`s a chance that Squall marries Rinoa in the future. So in this case, Rinoa will be in the same family as Laguna. Makes even more sense.

If you replace Rinoa with Selphie in that incident, it makes more sense.

And some other hints.

This S=R theory also leads to another theory of Rinoa being a SeeD. Another hint: Ultimecia saying SeeD six times (there were only six characters in the room, including Rinoa!).
