[Clothing] Paine wears a heavy leather wrap, underneath which there is a tight black tube top around her chest. Underneath the wrap runs what could be described as a pair of red braces, they run from the back of her legs, up her back and over her shoulders, below her wrap and under two black leather belts fastened around her narrow waist, underneath her shorts and connect to the leather guards Paine wears just below her leather shorts. These guards wrap around her legs almost completely, connected by small silver fastenings. Paine’s heeled boots come to her calf, with a lip turn fold. She also wears elbow length black gloves, a studded black choker and a small pendant on a wired necklace.

[Background] Little is known about Paine’s background, it's speculated that she is of Beville descent, but it's been neither confirmed or denied. Once a recorder for the Crimson Squad, and also an old friend of Nooj, Baralai, and Gippal. She joined the Gullwings hoping to find answers to why the Squad collapsed, and just what happened in the Den of Woe; the last mission of the Crimson Squad candidates.

As a Gullwing Paine and her team mates, Yuna, the former summoner who defeated SIN and a cheery Al Bhed girl named Rikku, Yuna’s cousin; travel Spira, looking for Treasure Sphere’s. The search for more spheres relating to Yuna’s lost love Tidus takes the trio on a trail of lost love and the remembrance of a world torn apart by Sin. During their travels they one by one meet with the leaders of important factions around Spira, these turn out to be Paine’s former team mates, but that is not revealed to Rikku or Yuna for a long time, as Paine prefers to keep her secrets to herself.

Discovering that an entity known as Shuyin, who looks remarkably like Tidus, has possession of a machina weapon that could cause untold chaos, the Gullwings set out to defeat Shuyin and his machine known as Vegnagun before it is too late, teaming up with the LeBlanc Syndicate; who were up until then the main protagonists for the Gullwings, and hunting through Spira to find Vegnagun.

Along the way they discover that on the last Crimson Squad mission, Shuyin was responsible for possessing Nooj, the leader of Paine’s squad. Under the possession of Shuyin, Nooj attempted to kill his team, leaving all three betrayed, confused and wounded. When Paine discovers this she opens up to her team mates, telling them of her past with the three faction leaders and asks for their help in defeating Shuyin once and for all and saving Spira.

[Personality] Paine is rather cynical and sarcastic. While her team mates are exuberant and enthusiastic, Paine opts more for the logical side of things and sees when there is a need for seriousness. For such a young age she seems rather despondent with life and is in no way optimistic, but nor is she pessimistic. She is very secretive about her past, but is fiercely loyal and cares deeply for those she considers friends. Although it does take a lot for her to begin to trust, and even then it is possible that she will give the allusion of not caring.

She is strong willed and loves a good fight, although she is keenly aware of what battles she can win and which she should walk away from. She can almost sense trouble, although she is merely well acquainted with reading people and the situations around her. Paine is very observant, as a former recorder she has a lot of experience watching people and figuring out just what is going on with them.

While it takes a lot for Paine to open up about herself, she is a good listener -especially if she considers someone a friend. Willing to offer detached, logical views on situations and well versed in strategy, Paine is more common sense than emotion. Occasionally, this presents her as cold-natured or callous, when in truth, she is simply protecting herself following betrayals of the past.

[Specialties/Abilities] A skilled fighter, Paine has strength, stamina and agility that comes with swordplay. While in possession of her garment grid and dresspheres, Paine also has the ability to utilise several fighting techniques and styles from her travels and training while with the Gullwings. Paine is currently limited to only her Warrior dressphere and those abilities.

Paine is also fluent in Al Bhed, an adept mechanic and trained recorder -giving her observation and peace-keeping skills.

[Affection] Other than Yuna and Rikku, Paine does not allow physical affection on the fly. While Yuna and Rikku would get away with an idle hug or quick comforting gesture, others would be slapped away and told off in a cold manner. It takes a lot to get close to Paine, and while she can be brash and offensive, it is a defence against her own discomfort and lack of trust. Were Gippal, Baralai or Nooj to attempt anything, she would likely baulk and move away quickly. Paine is very protective of her personal space.

Of friends, she would become slightly more comfortable, possibly allowing hand clasps or quick touches to shoulders, arms or the top of her back. Paine's waist is a no-go area.

[Fighting] Paine may not invoke fights without reason, but she will defend with extreme duress. Skilled in her specialised dressphere, Paine is an adept sword fighter, with great strength, determination and will of character. She would not turn down a few spars, and nor would she back down from a battle. She would play it out until a truce was called, or the battle ended. Regardless of injury to herself.

[Other Permissions] No forth-wall breaking please. Paine's mind can be read, however touchy subjects are touchy subjects and she likely will not react well to it. Characters within her canon can know what they would know about her, future events can be revealed with some constraint.
