Forest Owls

The Forest Owls is a resistance group, trying to free the small nation Timber from the tyranny of the Galbadian Empire in Final Fantasy VIII. Their headquarters is a yellow train in Timber. It is led by Zone. Watts is a another member, and Rinoa is a top strategist in the group, nicknamed the "Princess".

The newly-appointed SeeDs Squall, Selphie and Zell, as well as their former Teacher Quistis's first mission is to assist them. They plan to capture the Galbadian President Vinzer Deling, with a risky train-swapping mission. After successfully having switched trains, and replacing it with a fake dummy Deling, they discover that the President they've captured is only a double.

The Forest Owls work together with two other resistance groups, the Forest Fox, led by an elderly woman, and The Forest Duck, with only one member.
