Remembering the "Gang"
Today is the anniversary of the defeat of Sorceress Ultimecia. This is no ordinary anniversary. Three years have passed since six brave teenagers, with the theme of "Love, friendship, and courage", traveled to the future and defeated the most powerful sorceress of all time. Her name? Ultimecia.
Squall Leonhart, Commander of Balamb Garden (at that time) was a lonely, silent and cold man and as everyone of you know he uses a gunblade. Leonhart leaded the attack to Sorceress Ultimecia. Now he's a 20-year-old changed man thanks to Rinoa Heartilly, also his girlfriend at that time. Heartilly helped him to open more to her and to her friends during the sorceress war and, naturally, feelings for each grew bigger everyday until (2 years ago) they broke up.
Rinoa Heartilly, daughter of Julia Heartilly and galbadian General Caraway and leader of one of Timber's most famous resistances movements "The Forest Owls" is a very kind and loving person. She gives with no thought of reward, and that is what draws people to her. Her weapon is called the Blaster Edge. Now she is 20 years old.
Selphie Tilmitt is the heart of every party also she's a cheery and outgoing person. Her weapon of choice is the nunchaku
. One of Tilmitt's qualities is that she's there to cheer up the rest of her friends.
Irvine Kinneas is know by all the press as the real Ladies Man because he never gives up (on the ladies ). He is an expert sniper and was the one that gave that perfect shot to Sorceress Edea during the parade in Deling City.
Zell Dincht, is a very temperamental person, and tends to have mood swings. He has great close combat skills that's why he is one of the most requested SeeDs in any mission. He loves the hot dogs sold in the Balamb Garden cafeteria.
Quistis Trepe, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a good curriculum is a prodigy at fighting skills. She entered the Garden at the age of 10, by the time she was 15 she was in SeeD, then she was an instructor until she loosed her license because (as she told us) lack of leadership qualities. After the war she was presented with a challenge: to train Seifer Almasy to become a SeeD if she achieve it she could be an instructor again. Thanks Hyne she succeed! Now she is Commander of Balamb Garden.
After the war these six mercenaries were invited to all kind of celebrations, social parties, events; even a film producer made a movie about their life's accompanied, of course, by a lot of merchandising. The movie was a total success!
But not everything is as happy as it looks. Two years ago, one year after the defeat of Ultimecia and during almost 6 months these headlines filled all the tabloids all around Gaia "FORMER BALAMB GARDEN COMMANDER RESIGNS" "LEONHART RESIGNS" "LEONHART AND HEARTILLY END THEIR RELATIONSHIP" Sad, isn't it? Things couldn't get worse that they were until this headline was in all the media "THE GANG (as they were known) IS BEAKING UP" Yeah, everyone was shocked about that news, the question is: why? Until now nobody can answer that.
First, Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly after one year of been a couple had a friendly break up because (as they told the press) they needed some time; they ARE friends (not as some newspapers say). Now Leonhart is living with his father President Laguna Loire and his stepsister Ellone in Esthar and Miss Rinoa Heartilly is living with her father in Galbadia. We can hopefully wait if they get together again.
Second, Irvine Kinneas broke up with Selphie Tilmitt (at the beginning not a very friendly break up but the last news are that they dating again) after a galbadian tabloid published (false) pictures of him in a restaurant with other girl with this headline "WHO'S THAT GIRL, KINNEAS?" what is weird is that in all the pictures we only can see "Kinneas" back and his long hair. Kinneas said, "That's not me! That day I was with Selphie in Balamb!" Now he's studying in Galbadia Garden and Mrs. Tilmitt is instructing in Trabia Garden.
Zell Dincht (finally!) got his hot dogs from Balamb Garden Cafeteria and about him nothing is known except that he's dating a librarian and is head of the Disciplinary Committee in Balamb Garden.
But what is having all of us watching the news, reading magazines and newspapers; what everybody talks in every social party in the world is about them: Quistis Trepe and Seifer Almasy. How? Nobody knows but certainly it was when Mr. Almasy (who was declared innocent in his trial because Edea Kramer said he was manipulated during the Sorceress War) was readmitted in Balamb Garden during the management of Squall Leonhart. Now he's a SeeD, one of the best ones. She's Commander (as I pointed out before) since Leonhart resigned and she's been handling her duties perfectly, Headmaster Cid Kramer couldn't make a better choice!
This is how life of six mercenaries who once (together) saved the world of disaster has turned. Nobody knows what the future has in store for them but I hope, just like everyone else that things get better for them in their life's because everybody wants to see the Orphanage Gang together again.
