Main Weapon(s): Lionheart (Gunblade)

GF: Shenjukukgon (Brandon's personal inner GF.)

Rank: SeeD Rank A

Description:

Brandon is the wise cracking, charismatic, trouble making, playboy son of Legendary SeeD High Commander Squall Leonhart. All his life Brandon has lived in his father's shadow. As a result Brandon hates being compared to Squall and wants nothing to do with his father's legacy. Brandon has a tendency to get into a lot of trouble and frequently breaks Garden rules, frequently landing him in his father's office.

It seems at first that Brandon's biggest concerns are hanging out with his friends and partying. This behavior makes some of the higher ranked SeeDs voice their opinion that Brandon should be more like his father. But people, who really know Brandon, know that he wants to become his own man and break free from his father's shadow. But at the end of Heritage Brandon comes to terms with his father's legacy and comes to respect it. As seen Brandon cares a lot about family and friends treating Nathan and Sabin like brothers and willing to risk his life to protect them. Brandon has also developed an inability to be truly forth coming about his feelings and constantly masks his truly feelings under his charm.

Although he holds a certain disdain for his father's legacy, Brandon has an enormous amount of natural skill. No doubt inherited from Squall. Brandon even surpassed his father's achievements by becoming a Gunblade master at a younger age. Brandon also seems to have a great deal of skill in the magical arts no doubt received from his mother. But, Brandon's biggest inheritance is the combined powers of the sorceress and Griever merged with in him gained from his parents. Brandon has dubbed this power: Angel Heart (As a tribute to Brandon's lack of creativity and focus on what the power means to him.). At first the power was too much for him and it caused him to enter a berserk rage, but as he came to grips with his linage he gained control over it and learned to summon his inner GF.

Appearance:

Brandon looks a lot like his father when he was younger and wears an exact replica of the outfit worn by "Leon" in the first Kingdom hearts game. One notable difference is that Brandon keeps his hair spiky (some what like the Kingdom Hearts 2 version of Cloud). When Brandon goes into his "Angelic" form he grows a pair of glowing white angel wings and his eyes turn crimson.

Rank: SeeD Rank A. Squad Captain

Description:

Helen is a take charge kind of girl. Her cool head, sensibility and strong leadership skills allow her to be an effective squad leader. Helen has also been known to be a bit flirty, remaining coy and aloof, epically around Brandon. Helen naturally acts like a older sister to the guys in her squad (Even though she isn't older or a sister to any of them) frequently trying to keep her band of knuckle heads in line and always being concerned about their well being. Her compassion for her team and strong will is what lead her to be chosen squad leader above the rest.

Helen has a strange feeling toward her own heritage. With her father being branded a traitor by a lot of SeeDs who didn't know what really happened, Helen takes offense at any insult directed at him. Being the daughter of child prodigy Quistis, Helen herself studied hard and became a prodigy in her own right. She graduated her SeeD class at the top only being surpassed in one area (fighting skills was surpassed only by Brandon's natural talent).

Helen studied and mastered the use of the Gunblade under the tutelage of her father Seifer. She is also well versed in the ability to use Blue Magic. Although she is an expert gunblade master, she only learned so through her own will and doesn't have the natural skill that Brandon has.

Appearance:

Helen is Balamb Garden's resident blonde haired beauty. She is frequently noted as being one of the Garden's most beautiful SeeDs. Helen wears a pink blouse complete with a vest identical to her mothers and form fitting black pants. She completes the look with a coat similar to the one her father used to wear (Same color and symbols on the coat), but it is designed more after the coat Rinoa wears, complete with a pair of black fighting gloves.

Description:

Nathan is the eldest of the group and acts as a big brother to most of them. Brandon is frequently seen coming to Nathan for advice which usually he doesn't really know how to give, but he tries his best to help. Nathan acts like he's a charmer, but is really insecure of himself. Compared to the others Nathan is a bit more reserved and well mannered. However, he frequently finds himself being dragged into Brandon's crazy ideas leading him to trouble.

A while before the Begging of Heritage Nathan met Jillian who worked in one of Balamb's local stores. It was love at first sight for Nathan. Every time he came into Balamb (which was frequently and sometimes just for her) he would try to charm her. For years they went through this game of cat and mouse and over time Jillian's disdain turned into affection for the persistent SeeD. But, when Nathan found out about her involvement with the Order he felt betrayed, but when she risked her life to help the SeeDs, and was punished by the Order. Nathan came to her rescue. Nathan and Jillian's relationship began with a rocky start, at first they felt they jumped into things too fast, but they soon decided that they loved each other so much that they'd be willing to work things out.

Nathan is an expert sharpshooter having been trained by Irvine himself. However, Nathan's greatest skill lies in his uncanny ability for the quick draw. Nathan has the fastest guns in the Garden, thus making him a deadly opponent. His skill in the quick draw and expert accuracy allowed him to develop his own unique style of fighting polarized by his use of the double guns.

Appearance:

Nathan looks a great deal like his father, but has been noted by Irvine to have his mother's eyes. Nathan wears his hair considerably shorter than his father, and tones down on the cowboy look. Nathan likes to go casual and is a jeans and T-shit kind of guy. However, he just can't help but wear a tan cowboy vest complete with a cowboy hat. When asked about his hat Nathan loves to reply that he likes it cuz he thinks it makes him look cool.

After opening up to Ami, their feelings deepened for each other and they formed a stronger relationship/

However there is another side to Sabin that not many people know. Sabin is constantly haunted by the death of his mother, which happened to him at an early age. He has since tried to cover it up and ignore the pain. He feels burdened by the responsibility of always having to bee the goofball and the one that people look to, to raise their spirits in the darkest of times. Sabin feels that he can not let his pain get to him and must remain easygoing and passionate so that not matter what happens everyone will know things will be alright. He eventually lets his pain out in front of Ami and comes to terms with his mother's death then finally puts his sadness to rest.

Like his father Sabin is a master of martial arts. Although Sabin decides to put is own spin and has adapted his own style of fighting.

Even though she is a self classified Geek. Ami is consider one of Balamb Garden's most popular females. She is the head of many clubs and interacts frequently with many members of SeeD.
