Oi, I've graduated to "hahaha" or "lmao" But yes...I still use "lol" way too much. _

Ray's Mini Blog-

Hi there! I'm just a writer tinkering on the alternate/parallel universe side of Final Fantasy VIII, mostly. If you're reading any of my stories and you like them, and you've reviewed, followed, or you faved them (or even faved me) I must thank you for doing so. It makes me happy knowing that I've got some support and it also makes me work harder on my projects. So thank you again for reading and supporting. It really means a lot, guys! Honestly, if I see people are reading and engaging, I'll be sure to finish my stuff faster, but when it's quiet in that regard, I handle my priorities first.

I'm also PuftPrin on Deviant Art: shameless self advertisement, I know, but I gotta make sure you know more about me since you clicked my profile. Thanks for checking me out, by the way. _ I've cleaned up this profile a bit, so have fun.

Stardust Ray- (FF7)Red XIII's limit break. Oddly or Ironically, I've never submitted a single work with FFVII here, haha. _

This Bio Madness of Mine Commenses...

Name: No, My name isn't Ray! I'm Trena

Age: Actually, I like being my age, and it is for me to know alone!!! (kekeke)

Gender: Female (In case you were wondering. For real, you won't believe how many people think I'm a guy online, even with names like "Stardust" or "PuftPrin"... Funny, because I'm pretty feminine in real life, but I guess my thoughts and ideas are translated to guy pretending to be a chick, loool.)

Birth Sign: Scorpio (Bleh...I don't take astrology seriously, but according to it, I'm "Sexy" and "Loyal" and I am, or so I've been told, hehehe.)

Other Info About Me: Writer, gamer, musician, and nutcase. Surprise, I'm a loner!

Side Note: I'm set to finish Eternal Breath; however, if when my personal work picks up, I will not update it until I've completed my real work. This stuff is time consuming, believe it or not, lol.

Story Summaries:

Clash of the Gardens Completed! -Finally! If anyone is reading all this, don't be afraid to take on that 94,thou-something word -typo infested story, lol. Yeah, I seriously need to go through this one and get rid of ugly typos...they're funny. It won't really seem that long anyway. It's my first fanfic, so don't be too hard on me! I shortened it up the best I could, now I wonder if anyone will still read it? Who really cares? lol --Here's the Summary-- Alternate Universe- Under Galbadian President Deling's control, Timber seeks outer support to liberate itself from his rule, but when Timber is bombed by the hands of Deling himself-- killing dozens of innocent people--including the Resistance Factions' leaders and the Trabian Headmaster, forces begin to form and rebel against Galbadia. But as time progresses, Deling becomes a threat to not only the world, but to Galbadia itself, and soon wages war with every force on the face of Gaea; SeeDs from Trabia and Balamb retaliate upon this crime. Among those sent to extinguish Galbadia is Squall, a loner and battle hungry SeeD, who wards off soldiers in Timber and finds a young faction member in the middle of the entire crisis. Seeking revenge for her fallen comrades, Rinoa decides to stay with Squall, unaware that he only looks out for himself and cares nothing for others' well-being. But as tension rises and the situation changes with every passing day, he finds himself protecting her--not because he has to, but because he wants too--which happens to be one of his worst fears...

Between Heaven and Hell-Completed! -Be sure to check this one out too. It's my personal action thriller involving T-Rexaurs (my favorite enemy to fight in FF8) and characters that I enjoyed, and people getting eaten and so on...yes..it's a bit weird, so be warned. And Review, review! lol ...or not! But I'll be more than happy if I'm on your fav's list, that will count as your review, and if not, then you should send me a Review- I'll work harder if I know people are actually reading. lol Thanks!--Summary--Squall had the perfect life: a promised career, family and friends, and a fiancée. Living life at the all time highs, he looked down on others below him, especially those who led reckless lives. But when he walks in on his fiancée and another man, things take a turn for the worst. Following a day of drinking, Squall awakens to find he has taken a life, and is then arrested and sentenced to death--plunged into the forests of Esthar and stalked by great beasts, the T-Rexaur, as way of persecution. Along with other convicted felons, Squall must strive to survive day by day as thoughts of his crime unfold in his mind, driving him deeper into insanity. He believes himself to be innocent...but the longer he stays with maniacal and homicidal convicts and vicious T-Rexaurs, the more he begins to believe otherwise... The odd behaviors from the others cause Squall to suspect that maybe there was more to his story, maybe his victim had some enemies...

Damaged Hearts-Completed!-- Forced with responsibilities rising to his throat, Squall leaves Rinoa to rediscover who he is, but it takes him four years to come back to his senses. Rinoa now mothers a young girl and is currently dating a younger man, one that she could possibly fall in love with, with a silver spoon in his mouth. When Squall unexpectedly drops in, her world begins to crumble. After nights of crying herself to sleep, she had finally convinced herself that her love for Squall was dead, but then seeing him again ignited a cold, but warm feeling in her heart. Could their love have survived for four years, and more importantly, how would Squall feel about the child, a child she can't bring herself to tell him about?

Eternal Breath- A Work In Progress-- A reluctant Sorceress and a beast of two minds and two hearts embark on a journey to rid themselves of who and what they are... Life has always been hard for Rinoa, as she lost her mother and was outcast by her town at such a young age. She's learned to live with herself over the years with her dad as well as the elders of Dollet. However, when a mysterious recurring dream begins to haunt her, tragedy soon strikes Dollet. Rinoa, in hopes of saving her father, unknowingly calls upon a force locked away deep inside her body in order to protect her dad, but ends up causing more damage than helping. After summoning Griever to her aid, he vows to protect her even though a battle that could possibly shake his mentality has begun within. Currently, Griever is bedridden inside the mind of Squall Leonhart who has a shared past with the beast, yet Griever has belittled the man and confessed to Rinoa that he, Squall, was a fool. Rinoa has promised to help Griever in his fight, but she is becoming more and more curious about the man who attained Griever. Just what is his purpose and why is he after the Lion Heart? Why is Griever urging her to not trust Squall and his personal intentions? Rated T: The language isn't horrible and I'll change it if I think the violence gets worse, if not, I think le youths can tolerate this one, eh? lol. Status: Active

A Moment In Time- A collection of One-Shots. 1.We Needn't Say--Laguna and Squall, father and son, total opposites. Laguna ponders if he and Squall could ever establish a relationship as Father and Son. Is there, from the lives of two very different individuals, some common ground between the two men? 2. The Way I See It--Seifer stands on the docking bridge back at Balamb, daring to recall his past and his flaws. What goes on in the mind of man whose been exhiled from his community simply for choosing his dream over discipline? 3. Sis--A look in the past at Ellone's abrupt departure from the orphanage and its effects on Squall's life thus far. ( I wanted to add about this idea that the events are completely random and I only write them whenever I feel the urge to write them. Please don't expect an update every week for this particular work, as it's just a free world for me to explore. Does that sound selfish? I hope not...I'm not a selfish person, hehe.)

Fate Wild- A Work In Progress-- A story of two teenagers on opposite sides of a power struggle. Squall has been raised to become the general of Galbadia while Rinoa has lived with her parents in the midst of the oppressive galbadian rule. When a series of unplanned events occur, the truth will break through the facade that is the galbadian empire. Will Squall ultimately betray his father to protect the people who have spent years plotting to destroy his family's power? Even so, what would happen if he knew of his true lineage? Status: Not Active.

D.o.l.l.f.a.c.e.- A Work In Progress-Rinoa is a girl who, after a car accident years ago, is living with a huge scar on the left side of her face. She has managed to live a normal life with her dog, Angelo, despite the scar’s grotesque appearance. One day at work, however, she meets an attractive young man named Squall whose nonchalant attitude will challenge everything she has come to believe about herself, including the truth behind the acquiring of her scar.-- Funny story. I wrote this story about 4 or 5 years ago and had only then begun to start revamping it and uploading it here. It was inspired by Twisted Metal: Black. Here's where it gets crazy, Twisted Metal PS3 eventually came out and featured the character DollFace with a storyline involving her in a car accident! It is totally a coincidence! I am a huge fan of Twisted Metal, but man, that's really weird that my mind somehow synced with its writers there... Oh well. There's a lot of my favorite things invested inside this story, but whatever, it's now rated M, and it's just...well...it's an emotional rollercoaster. Status: Not Active.

One Step Closer-Deleted (-.-) -One shot fic I decided to delete, RIP. Anyway, it was mostly my view of each character from the game: Zell, always dedicated but most likely to screw up; Quistis, always despairing about her life; Selphie, always smiling no matter what happens to her; Squall, always proves to be courageous and takes on any problem in his life alone; Irvine, always having the knowledge about his and everyone elses life, but deeply hurting inside as well; Rinoa, always cheerful and dedicated with over flowing determination; and Seifer, always cocky, but knows right from wrong. I blame myself for deleting it...I should've kept it posted for a little longer, that entire story is now lost...drowned in the depths of the Hurricane's fury!...(-.-)

God Bless!

Also, I add to my favorite's list in the story section of my bio, but I wish I could add more. There are so many stories that I really like, but I don't really remember the names of them all!! I'm so sorry!...It's terrible...I know. So check out their works also, but be warned: My list is a little everywhere--as I enjoy many different Genres and pairings at times--Most of what is contained in my faves are comedies anyway, so have a good laugh, I'm sure you'll like them too. Heck, you may have already read them!
