Everyone talks about how Rinoa has changed Squall, how she has opened him up and made him a whole person.

Not a lot of people talk about the changes that happen in Rinoa.

They are quite subtle, and maybe I'm just making it up, but I think that Squall's influence has matured Rinoa. Towards the end of the game, she isn't as impuslive. She thinks a bit before she leaps, and she seems to understand consequence. (She had a bit of a problem with that early on.) Rinoa seems more "tame" and sober, although this may be due to the fact that hey...she's gone through some pretty wacky stress.

I like to think that Squall did as much for Rinoa as she did for him.

Thoughts?
