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. They reappear during the Battle of the 1000 Heartless, shortly after Sora, Donald, and Goofy defeat a massive amount of both Heartless and Nobodies, and ask what happened to Maleficent. Yuna and Rikku follow, but not before Yuna apologizes to Sora and company for bothering them. You do the talking".) and then teleports away. She assures Sora that they come in peace (Yuna asks her if she's kidding, as their mission is essentially to help create war, and Paine replies, "Okay, fine. Rikku nearly reveals that they are working for Maleficent, but Paine quickly stops her from doing so. Sora tells them that they have business at the castle. Sora, Donald, and Goofy first encounter the Gullwings in their third visit to Hollow Bastion, where the Gullwings inquire about the recent activities of Leon's group. Paine also mentions Rikku's name in a text box if the player talks to her before talking to Yuna after the battle. Before they are about to trick them, they said in the English dialogue outside of non-subtitled whispering between the trio, possibly to prevent confusing Rikku with Riku. In Kingdom Hearts II, their color is seen in the flashes of light that appear as they teleport in and out of scene.Īs another note, none of the girl's names are mentioned, besides Yuna's name, or nickname, as Rikku whispered it to her when they confronted Sora, Donald, and Goofy. 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. Rikku is represented by a golden yellow in both games. But in Kingdom Hearts II, Yuna is represented by blue and Paine is represented by red. In addition, Yuna is represented by the color pink while Paine is represented by the color violet in Final Fantasy X-2. 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. Also, the three fairies each have wings that are unique to them. Minor changes to her stockings and shawl were made as well. Paine now wears a tank top with visible shoulder straps and her boots no longer have high-heels. Rikku wore a bikini top and had no stockings, and although it is changed to a tank top with visible shoulder straps in Kingdom Hearts II, her midriff and navel are still clearly exposed. Yuna originally had hot pants and her top was more revealing and the symbol on it-a tribute to Tidus-was larger, likely because the symbol held together the shirt from a large V-necked gap, and the gap was sized down, and the symbol with it. True to Final Fantasy X-2, the trio sport their trademark pose, though without their weapons.Īnother change to the trio is their less revealing attire as opposed to their outfits in the original game, which showed more skin. 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. Nonetheless, they do seem to have a strong moral compass, as they decide to let Sora and co. 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, 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. While the Gullwings' physical appearances have changed, their personalities have not: Yuna is unfailingly kindhearted 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.
