I think Yuffie in FFVII fits in that category as well. Rinoa struck me at least intially as a spoiled little girl playing at being a rebel just as Yuffie was a spoiled little Princess playing at being a ninja...and one who stole everyone's materia.

More to the point though is that I'm not saying that every female character in a Square Enix game is like this. In FFVII I liked Tifa and Aerith. In FFVIII I liked Quistus and that other female who accompanied them and whose name I've forgotten because it's been so long since I played the game. And there was a female General in I believe it was FFVI whom I really liked.

Rinoa and Yuffie were annoying to me.

Celes is awesome. I still can't believe someone on here referred to her as a Mary Sue. I also adore Rosa from FFIV.

In her defense, Rinoa was SUPPOSED to be a spoiled little girl playing at being a rebel. She's NOT a TRAINED KILLER FROM CHILDHOOD like all the SeeDs; she was MEANT to be the one that was innocent, different, and the one that saw the world in a different, more optimistic, "we can CHANGE things if we try!" way. I do think that Squall did a 180 and randomly fell in love with her, but that doesn't mean that RINOA did it; that was Squall being OOC, not a problem with Rinoa as a character. Rinoa as a character falling for Squall was totally IC for her; Squall feeling the same way back is HIS problem, not HERS.

Personally, I think Rinoa's character was fine as it is. Squall is the one that needed work, bad.

Yeah, Squall bugged me a lot. His apathy drove me up a wall.
