She was a SeeD at the age of 15 and became Squall's instructor at Balamb at age 17.. She doesn't handle stress very well. But she's smart and the most experienced of the group. With a cool exterior, she takes charge of the situation and never wavers from what she believes is right. She harbors a unrequited love for Squall at first, which later turns into more the need of being an older sister to him, but her problem is, if she ever goes out with anyone she would have to explain how to junction something or how they should use their weapon, etc.
