Raine Loire

Raine is a non-playable character in Final Fantasy VIII. She resided in the town of Winhill, and was Laguna Loire's love interest. Together, they cared for young Ellone. Raine died while giving birth (there is much speculation and evidence that this child was Squall), but Laguna was trapped in Esthar while rescuing Ellone from Sorceress Adel and could not be by her side. As a result, Ellone and Squall both ended up in an orphanage.

When the town of Winhill is visited in the present, the residents generally seem spiteful toward Laguna, blaming him for Raine's untimely death.
