Ultimecia is often denounced for having no personality and no background. She is declared to be a one-dimensional villain inserted into Final Fantasy VIII at the last minute for the sole purpose of giving the heroes someone to fight against.

However, an often-forgotten fact is that Ultimecia is present in Final Fantasy VIII ever since the very first disk, and that her actions drive the entirety of the story ever since the beginning. Ultimecia operates in the first part of the game through another character: Edea, whom she is controlling. All of the character development in the first two discs that is thought to be attributed to Edea is actually development on the part of Ultimecia; in fact, many fans of Edea who fall in love with the cruel, icy demeanor she wears for the first two discs are actually becoming fans of Ultimecia. They simply don't realize it.

Ultimecia controls every word and every action from Edea from her first appearance in Timber until her second defeat in Galbadia Garden, and from her multiple speeches during this time, Ultimecia's true personality is revealed.

Too bad she needed a machine and another person to do that, wasn't her own direct power, she cannot do it at will.
