| '''Yuna, Rikku, and Paine''', also called {{nihongo|'''The Gullwings'''|カモメ団|Kamome-dan}}, are a group of treasure-hunting fairies. They have minor roles in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. The name refers to the sphere-hunting group that the three girls are a part of in ''{{w|Final Fantasy X-2}}''.
| |
|
| |
|
| Although Yuna and Rikku made their first appearance in ''Final Fantasy X'', the journal lists their first appearance as ''Final Fantasy X-2''.
| | The Gullwings are a group of treasure-hunting fairies made up of Yuna, Rikku, and Paine. They have a minor role in [[Kingdom Hearts II]]. The name is a reference to the sphere-hunting group that the three women are a part of in [[wikipedia:Final Fantasy X-2|Final Fantasy X-2]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==Development==
| | In [[Jiminy Cricket|Jiminy]]'s Journal, the name Gullwings is not mentioned but merely the description the girls gave themselves in the middle of Final Fantasy X-2's story, though the Journal still mentions the trio's original description of the Gullwings as "friendly neighborhood". Furthermore, despite [[Yuna]] and [[Rikku]] actually making their first appearances in Final Fantasy X alongside [[Tidus]], [[Wakka]], and [[Auron]], they are listed as first appearing in X-2 so as not to break the unity of the trio. However, in the cast part of the end credits, their names are grouped with Auron as both Final Fantasy X and X-2 occur in the same continuity. |
| [[File:Rikku (Concept_Art).png|thumb|left|100px|Artwork of Rikku as she would have appeared in ''Kingdom Hearts''.]] | |
|
| |
|
| In ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', Rikku was supposed to make a solo appearance as a member of Leon's group in Traverse Town; however, because of the similarly-named character [[Riku]], she was replaced with [[Yuffie]], who was then given a version of the outfit planned for Rikku. Yuffie's version has the same design, but the colors are swapped.
| | Interestingly, [[Rikku]] was supposed to make a solo appearance in the original [[Kingdom Hearts]]; however, since there was already another [[Riku]], she was replaced with [[Yuffie]]. Looking closely shows pieces of her costume in [[Yuffie]]'s Kingdom Hearts outfit. |
|
| |
|
| In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the Gullwings receive a new appearance, seeming to be small pixies. The reason for making the Gullwings "pixie-like" beings was because Tetsuya Nomura wanted to have ''Final Fantasy'' characters appear in a non-human form that still appeared human, and the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series seemed to be the ideal scenario to do so. He chose their fairy forms, as he believed that they would look interesting and because he believed that the screen would be too crowded if the camera focused on all three of them at once if they were in their normal human forms.
| | ==Changes from Final Fantasy X-2== |
| | True to Final Fantasy X-2, the trio sport their trademark pose, with slight differences due to lack of their weapons ([[Yuna]]'s X-2 weapon were a pair of guns which could not be used here for obvious reasons, even though guns, both fictionalized and otherwise, have already been featured wielded by [[Clayton]], the inhabitants of [[Port Royal]], [[Stitch]], [[Xigbar]], and in some way, [[Sora]]'s [[Wisdom Form]], even in the English version for the former two). Another change to the trio is their more gracious attire as opposed to their somewhat revealing ones in the original game ([[Yuna]] originally had hot pants and [[Rikku]] wore a bikini top and had no stockings. Again, [[Paine]] remains relatively unchanged). Also, the three girls each have wings that are unique to them. [[Yuna]] has angel wings on the band at the end of her ponytail. [[Rikku]]'s wings are the long, loose ends of her scarf. [[Paine]]'s wings are black, bat-like structures on her back. |
|
| |
|
| In Jiminy's Journal, the Gullwings are called the "Friendly-neighborhood-something-or-others", a reference to a line in ''Final Fantasy X-2'', in which they called themselves the "Friendly neighborhood Gullwings", which is a further reference to the Marvel Comics character ''[[marvel:Spider-Man|Spider-Man]]'', who is often referred to as "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man". Jiminy's Journal never mentions the name "Gullwings", instead only copying the description the girls gave themselves in the middle of ''Final Fantasy X-2'''s story. | | In addition, [[Yuna]] is represented by <span style="color:pink;">pink</span> and [[Paine]] is represented by <span style="color:purple;">purple</span>. But in [[Kingdom Hearts II]], [[Yuna]] is represented by <span style="color:blue;">blue</span> and Paine is represented by <span style="color:red;">red</span>. [[Rikku]] is represented by <span style="color:gold;"> a golden yellow</span> in both games. The color that they are associated with in X-2 is seen in the main menu (where their name is in their theme color), their bathing suits and in their Charlie's Angels-esque "role call." In [[Kingdom Hearts II]], their color is seen in the flashes of light that appear as they teleport in and out of scene. |

|
| ==Story==
| | As another note, none of the girls' names are said in the English dialogue outside of non-subtitled whispering between the trio, possibly to prevent confusing [[Rikku]] with [[Riku]]. |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
| |
| [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] first encounter the Gullwings in their second visit to [[Hollow Bastion]], where the Gullwings inquire about the recent activities of [[Leon]]'s [[Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee|group]]. Sora tells them that they are busy at the castle. Rikku nearly reveals that they are working for [[Maleficent]], but Paine quickly stops her from doing so. She assures Sora that they come in peace and then teleports away. Yuna and Rikku follow, but not before Yuna apologizes to Sora and company for bothering them.
| |
|
| |
|
| They reappear during the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]], shortly after Sora, Donald, and Goofy defeat a massive amount of both [[Heartless]] and [[Nobody|Nobodies]], and ask what happened to Maleficent. Sora informs them that Maleficent ran away, and they call her lame, revealing that they had indeed been working for her and noting that they picked the wrong side. Sora asks them to help out the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee; Yuna accepts and asks if Leon has any treasure. Donald, knowing that the Committee needs all the help it can get, lies that he does (proving it by chuckling to himself after they leave). Sora asks who they are, but Yuna tells him that they are nothing worth mentioning, just "three treasure fanatics", and teleports away.
| | Considering their size, it takes a combined effort of all three do defeat one [[Armored Knight]], and thus portrayed as weaker than their original selves. [[Yuna]]'s weapons were a staff then twin guns, [[Rikku]]'s were a claw then twin daggers, and [[Paine]]'s was a sword adorned with a spade-shaped skull on its hand guard. |
|
| |
|
| During the war, Paine lures an Armored Knight Heartless into a trap, and Yuna and Rikku double-team it and knock it off the edge with two simultaneous jump-kicks. Shortly afterward, a massive legion of Armored Knights chases them off.
| | ==Journal Entry== |
| | | ===''Kingdom Hearts II''=== |
| The Gullwings escape, however, and discover that they had been tricked, confronting Sora and friends after the war. After a brief discussion with each other on how to work it out, they decide to take their treasure in retribution; when Sora declares that they have nothing, Rikku searches them, and Yuna declares that they are taking all of their items. However, Sora downright refuses, much to their frustration. Sora begins to apologize for the deception, but Paine stops him and reveals that Leon had informed them of their fight against [[Organization XIII]] and their search for their friends, and how rough their journey had been. They decide that it wouldn't be right to take their items after all that they had been through and assure him that they will root for them. They give Sora the [[Gull Wing]] [[Keyblade]] as a sign of forgiveness and then depart after performing their trademark pose.
| | '''Yuna'''<br> |
| | | ''One of a teenybopping trio or Friendly Neighborhood something-or-others.'' |
| After Sora returns home to [[Destiny Islands]], the Gullwings are seen stealing a stick of [[sea-salt ice cream]] from [[Yuffie]] and provoking her into chasing them.

| | |
| ==Designs== | |
| True to ''Final Fantasy X-2'', the trio sport their trademark pose, but without their weapons.
| |
| | |
| Another change to the trio is their less revealing attire as opposed to their outfits in the original game, which showed more skin. Yuna now wears a short skirt rather than hot pants, and her top is now less revealing and the symbol on it - a tribute to [[Tidus]] - is smaller. Rikku now wears a tank top instead of a bikini top, although her midriff and navel are still exposed, her bikini bottom straps are no longer visible on her hips, and she now wears stockings. Paine now wears a tank top with visible shoulder straps and her boots no longer have high-heels. Minor changes to Rikku's skirt and sleeves and Paine's stockings and shawl were made as well. Also, the three fairies each have wings that are unique to them. Yuna has a hair clip resembling bird wings, Rikku's wings are the long, loose ends of her scarf, and Paine has black, bat-like wings.
| |
| | |
| In addition, Yuna is represented by the color pink while Paine is represented by the color violet in ''Final Fantasy X-2''. However, in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Yuna is represented by blue and Paine is represented by red. Rikku is represented by a golden yellow in both games. The color that they are associated with in ''Final Fantasy X-2'' is seen in the first cutscene of ''Final Fantasy X-2'', their bathing suits and, if one looks closely, their names in the main menu. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', their color is seen in the flashes of light that appear as they teleport in and out of scene.
| |
| | |
| ==Personalities==
| |
| While the Gullwings' physical appearances have changed, their personalities have not: Yuna is unfailingly kind-hearted and polite, even bowing in respect to Sora, Donald, and Goofy and apologizing to them for bothering them; Rikku is good-natured and ditzy, the latter of which shows when she nearly reveals to Sora and friends who they were working for; and Paine is emotionally distant and anti-social. However, it would seem that they are more like mercenaries in this game, working for Maleficent in exchange for treasure, and agreeing to work for Leon only if he pays them to do so; when confronting Sora, Donald, and Goofy, Yuna bluntly calls them liars, Rikku complains about Leon not having any treasure, and Paine says, "And we fought for you guys," almost as if it was a crime to help someone out without receiving payment. Nonetheless, they do seem to have a strong moral compass, as they decide to let Sora and co. off without consequence upon hearing of his fight with Organization XIII and search for his missing friends, as they believe that punishing them for doing the right thing is just not right.

|
| |
|
| ==Abilities==
| | ''They were looking for [[Leon]], but...why?'' |
| The Gullwings are portrayed as much weaker than their ''Final Fantasy'' incarnations, or even other warriors like [[Yuffie]] and Leon. It takes a combined effort from all three to defeat one [[Armored Knight]], one of the weaker types of Heartless. They mostly rely on hand-to-hand combat, although they are also able to hover, warp, and conjure belongings like their Gull Wing Keychain.

|
| ==Origin==
| | '''Rikku'''<br> |
| [[File:Gullwings FFX-2.png|250px|right]]<!--mention design changes to justify image-->
| | ''One of a teenybopping trio or Friendly Neighborhood something-or-others.'' |
| The Gullwings are a band of sphere hunters. The group formed in the first direct sequel to a ''Final Fantasy'' game, ''{{ff|Final Fantasy X-2}}''. The Gullwings were banded for the purpose of hunting spheres, invaluable items scattered across Spira containing information about its past. More importantly, their goal throughout the game was to locate information regarding a man who looked exactly like Tidus, who appeared in the first sphere the Gullwings uncovered.
| |
|
| |
|
| Yuna is the main female protagonist of ''{{ff|Final Fantasy X}}'' and one of the main protagonists of ''Final Fantasy X-2''. In ''Final Fantasy X'', she embarks on a sacred journey known as the 'Pilgrimage' to travel the world, praying to monoliths known as the Fayth, to receive the ability to summon and command creatures known as ''Aeons''.
| | ''It looks like these three have been hired by someone for some kind of mission...but what?'' |
|
| |
|
| Rikku is an Al Bhed, a once-exiled race that utilized ''machina'', technology once forbidden by the laws of Yevon. Despite the intense racism aimed at the Al Bhed, she manages to keep a stiff upper-lip with her energetic and upbeat personality. She is also Yuna's maternal cross cousin.
| | '''Paine'''<br> |
| | ''One of a teenybopping trio or Friendly Neighborhood something-or-others.'' |
|
| |
|
| At the outset of ''Final Fantasy X-2'', Paine is a taciturn swordsman shrouded in mystery, while progressing through the game reveals more and more of her past.
| | ''They claim to come in peace...but, really, what ARE they?'' |
