I Made a Wish and It Came True…

Chapter 1: Introductions

Story title: I Made a Wish and It Came True…

Story authoress: Risika Kiisu Fenrir

Story summary: ...so we have to deal with the consequences. We have to survive to figure out why we were brought to Gaia & who's behind it, and if we ever want to see home again. But, what will change? Really, anything can happen. R&R *be nice please*

Full summary: Twin sisters make a wish, which comes true. They get transported to the world of Final Fantasy VIII, but in doing so, end up getting separated. They make friends, make enemies, and learn many things (like how to fight with and without weapons and plants that can be used to make medicines, among other things). But, why were they brought to this world? Who has motive to take them away from their life on Earth? Will they ever find a way to get home, or will they have to just live with never seeing their families again?

Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction written by a fan (thus, the name "FAN-Fiction"). Names, characters, places, and incidents either are the product of the authoress's imagination or are used fictitiously and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business establishments, events or locales is entirely coincidental.

Meaning what? I don't own anything. I am merely using the game Final Fantasy VIII (property of SquareSoft) as a base and incorporating my own characters and ideas into an already established plotline. And to further denounce any ideas that I own something: I don't own any major companies, minor companies, major/minor names, nor any works by other fanfiction authors/authoresses on this or any other cite. Or any published works by authors/authoresses.

I do, however, own a copy of FF8, FF9, FFX, FFX-2, and a ton of other games and movies. As well as a ton of books. And my own characters that are in this story. And any plot changes I may make to incorporate my own characters into the already established plotline of FF8.

Get it? I hope so. Because I am sooo NOTgonna repeat this. Well, onto the actual writings! WHEE! (No, I'm not high, just hyper. Like usual.)


This chapter (is technically not a chapter) is just going to tell you about the two main OCs this story will involve. Kailyn and Sylvia are twins, but not identical. Sylvia is the first born. This is before the SeeD exam (4 years), so by the SeeD exam, the twins'll be 17. Keep in mind that this story starts in June, 2 months before their b-day. Anyway, if you just want to read the story, go to chapter 2.

Name: Sylvia Marriba

Meaning of name: of the forest

Age: 13

DOB: August 4

Height: 5'1 ½"

Weight: 110 lbs

Hair color: black with blue highlights

Hair length: waist

Hair style: braided ponytail (put in ponytail first, then braid while in ponytail)

Eye color: green- dark when angry/upset, normal green when embarrassed, light when happy

Family members: James Kai Marriba (dad), Lynda Ann Marriba (mom), Kailyn Marriba (sister)

Personality: Sylvia is a very confident girl. She holds herself in such a way that people notice. She can be very unpredictable, and is also very outgoing and talkative. She can be a nuisance and the cause of many headaches. She is not very diligent with her work, and needs to be told constantly to do her work. She is a strong cadet, but is often ruled by her emotions (like Zell). She is adventurous, athletic, agile and flexible. Sylvia wields the Krasner Staff expertly, often beating instructors during training sessions. She is also looking out for other cadets. If a cadet needs help or is being bullied, she will put down whatever she is doing, pick up her staff, and be by the cadet's side in moments. She is an Alpha. Sylvia is beloved by many in Garden and in Balamb, and is popular in her classes. She is the eldest twin, with the youngest being Kailyn Marriba. They get separated and don't see each other for about four years.

Other Identifying features: pinches bridge of nose when irritated, has scar on upper left arm from a T-Rexaur, has this connection with her sister that allows her to feel strong emotions/extreme pain vaguely when they're far from each other, and more clearly when they're near.

Weapon: Dao (current model- Enova)


Name: Kailyn Marriba

Meaning of name: slender

Age: 13

DOB: August 4

Height: 5'1"

Weight: 105 lbs

Hair color: dark brown with light brown highlights

Hair length: shoulder blades

Hair style: straight, down

Eye color: green- dark when angry/upset, normal green when embarrassed, light when happy

Family members: James Kai Marriba (dad), Lynda Ann Marriba (mom), Sylvia Marriba (sister)

Personality: Kailyn is the younger twin, the eldest is Sylvia. She is very quiet and shy, and thus doesn't like crowds or being in the spotlight. She is very diligent in her studies and will help cadets who are struggling. She is very organized. She prefers being by herself or with people she knows and doesn't like to meet new people because it makes her very self-conscious. She is one who keeps a cool head in most situations and is able to come up with a plan given a few minutes. Kailyn doesn't act spontaneously, unlike her sister. She is considerate and protective of the younger cadets, her family, and her friends. She always follows directions, preferring the back of the classroom where she is less likely to be called on. She is not very confident in herself, and is very sensitive to criticism though she tries not to show it. She is also sensitive to other's feelings and will try to help anyone who is feeling down or crying. She is not an Alpha, like her sister, but an Omega. She doesn't pay bullies any attention unless they are picking on other cadets, or they strike a nerve which is difficult. When a nerve is struck, she will attack without mercy. While she is quiet in the classroom, outside the classroom she is fun-loving and talkative, if a bit reserved (unless there is work to do or she doesn't have anything to add to the conversation). She is agile and flexible, and uses her dual swords well, though she is not the best swordsman. She is always pondering something, normally something trivial, like why the moon is the color it is. Kailyn goes to Trabia Garden and doesn't see her twin for four years.

Other Identifying features: bites cheek/lip/tongue when thinking, pinches bridge of nose when irritated, eye twitches when really annoyed/irritated/angry, has this connection with her sister that allows her to feel strong emotions/extreme pain vaguely when they're far from each other, and more clearly when they're near.

Weapon: Duel swords (current model- Rama Scorches)


So, there's the two OCs! Siblings! My first time writing siblings, actually. Yeah, Sylvia is different from the Sylvia in The Wolf and the Lion. For one thing, her last name and physical description is different. For another, Sylvia isn't a werewolf. And, I think her personality changed, too… If so, blame the muse. .

Kailyn is a lot like me. She'll get into her thoughts, and totally miss whatever was going on outside her head. I am also quiet shy around a lot of people if I don't know them, but Kai is shy around any person if she's just meeting them… but she likes to meet new people. She's a bookworm, like me, and prefers doing school/desk work than working out (unlike me, though I prefer to just run around outside or fight my brother).

Then again, I'm also like Sylvia, I tend to over-react to some stuff. If my nose isn't stuck in a book, story, or anything, or I'm not stuck in my thoughts, I tend to be a talking machine. I will worry a lot about my family if they don't show up, and instantly think the worst. I guess this is the more outgoing side of me… O.o

See, both characters are different sides of me, just some traits are drawn out more, others surpressed. So, yeah…

Is it me, or do I seem to be very contradictive to anyone else? O.o

I'm trying to make Kai more quiet, and less sarcastic. Sylvia's supposed to be the loud, blunt, sarcastic one. Kai's supposed to be the sweet, quiet, thoughtful one…

Anyway, hope you enjoy the story! If you find any grammar and/or spelling mistakes or contradictory information, tell me! I will fix it!

Well, read and please, for the love of all that is good, pure, and kind in the world, REVIEW! Glad I'm writing again? Think the OC's are described well? Suckishly? Want a certain pairing? Want to make a camo appearance? Guess where you can tell me! PM or a REVIEW!

DON'T BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING! I am not at all responsible for any change in the character that shares my name! That is all Risika's doing! Just because I needed some time off doesn't give her the power to blame me for what SHE did!
