Yep, I usually don't expect real humans to look exactly like animated characters down to subatomic precision.Originally Posted by Squall Leonhart Loire
But anyway...
I used to be mutually interested in a girl from my school days who was very similar to Rinoa from "Final Fantasy 8" in many ways.
The look quite similar (except this girl has a Scandinavian look instead of Rinoa's Japanese look - it's a bit hard to explain, but they really do look similar despite being different ethnicities) and she also had the same playful personality as Rinoa.
The ballroom dance scene is more or less how she would behave during more laidback moments - maybe not that forward, but something like that.
I remember she once stopped me in the school corridors by standing in my way and started asking random questions and giggling at everything I said.
I can see a lot of her in Rinoa actually, so that's probably the closest I have come to being "in love" with a video game character.
Another video game character who kind of resembles this girl is Joy from "Shenmue 2".
She is probably more similar in looks, whereas Rinoa is a bit more similar in personality (except Rinoa seems slightly more immature than the girl I know in real life).
But both of them are similar to her in many ways.
