Edea was the surrogate mother of the main cast of the game, minus Rinoa. She was once a lady who cared greatly for the children of the orphanage. She loved her husband as well, Cid Kramer and wanted to live a happy fulfilled life - but she wanted more. Rather than ahve a plain simple life, looking after the children in the orphanage, she wanted to change the world. She wanted to make something strong and positive in the world that would be able to help people. This is how Cid and her dream came to reality. This is the beginning of Seed.
