Sorceresses almost always looked the same: pale skin, dark hair, sharp angular bodies.
Now her Mother's legacy; her skin, her eyes; were another's, Rinoa realised. Edea told her some women simply couldn't handle the powers. Some simply crumpled like paper, crushed under the weight of it, and disappeared.
But then she smiled at Rinoa and told her she must have been a strong person to have handled that.
No-one had ever called her strong. With the others, she had felt weaker than ever before.
"Thank you." She said, barely audible. Edea patted her hand, silently understanding.

A/N: Pre-game, Timber.
Rinoa can tell Seifer is not your standard soldier straight away. When she tells him this, he arrogantly presumes it is just a certain something that he has, a presence.
She laughs really hard for a while. He has not known her for long, but she has a weird sense of humour.
He doesn't even know why he's wasting his time with her. She's pretty, sure, but she's also annoying and snorts when she laughs (Seifer does not know but, in time, he will find this adorable).
In the end she tells him it's because gunblades aren't your standard army issue.
