About - I guess I'm a dark, enigmatic girl. I am no stranger to sadness. After becoming an orphan, like many other children due to sin, I joined up with The Gullwings sphere group, shortly before Yuna joined herself. Along with Rikku and Yuna, perhaps some light will be shed on my clouded past . . .----------------------------------------------------------A
s part of the time that Paine had hung around the ditzy duo, Rikku and Yuna, they have done many side-quests,and had collected from around the world, Spira Key Items called "Crimson Spheres". These spheres document Paine's experiences as a warrior-fighter for the Crimson Squad, which was intended to be an elite unit to surpass the Crusaders, with the best members being assigned to lead Crusader's across Spira. These spheres reveal that Paine had been the recorder for a group of candidates named Nooj, Baralai, and Gippal, the present day leaders of the Youth League, New Yevon, and the Machine Faction, respectively.Most of the Crimson Squad candidates died during the one of their field battles, which took place in a cave beneath Mushroom Rock Road called "the Den of Woe". This followed as a result of the pyreflies within the cave overwhelming them with the despair of the unsent named "Shuyin", causing them to turn on one another. Only Nooj, Baralai, Gippal and Paine escaped alive, but later, Nooj — possessed by Shuyin himself — fired on his friends, effectively ending their friendship for two years. Just before Yuna joined the group, Paine enlisted in the Gullwings in the hopes of finding out more about why the Crimson Squad had been massacred — and because she had long desired to fly in an airship.During the course Paine's time with them, if Paine, Riku, and Yuna locate all ten Crimson Spheres, the Den of Woe can be unlocked, allowing Yuna, Rikku and Paine to face the truth of Paine's past for themselves. Shuyin's despair nearly overcomes the group, as it had the Crimson Squad in the past, until Yuna is able to free her friends from its influence. Thereafter, armed with the truth, Paine promises to help her friends — both old and new — and save the world from Shuyin before he can destroy it.
