Sorceress (Final Fantasy VIII)

Sorceresses are human beings who received sorceress powers transfered to them from the past. The Great Hyne gave people some of his powers, and upon death, every sorceress must pass her powers to another human being, whose will is strong enough to sustain these powers.

Duing the game, we know of four sorceresses: Edea Kramer, Rinoa Heartilly, Adel and Ultimecia. Sometimes, sorceresses aren't even aware of their powers, or just hide them from the world.

Calling a sorceress a Hyne's Descendant is known as showing her great respect.
