Template:InfoCharacter 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 Final Fantasy X-2. In 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.
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, the latter being the first true sequel in Final Fantasy history.
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 was a gun which could not be used here for obvious reasons). 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).
Trivia
- 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 Final Fantasy X-2, Yuna is represented by pink and Paine is represented by violet. But in Kingdom Hearts II, Yuna is represented by blue and Paine is represented by red. Rikku is represented by yellow in both games.
