CHARACTER INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME: Tifa Lockhart
CANON: Final Fantasy VII
TIMELINE: Post Advent Children
AGE: 22

REFERENCE: Here. (Following the original continuity.)

PERSONALITY: At a first glance Tifa seems like someone who has it all together; exuding confidence in her abilities (both as a fighter and as a bar owner). She’s super competent in her duel jobs as a member of AVALANCHE and owner of the bar which provides the group with their cover base, as well as dual bar owner and makeshift secretary for Cloud and his business after the Crisis. She tends to be the sounding board for her friends, being both a good listener and someone who gives sound advice and encouragement where it is needed. But what hides behind this confidence is a ton of uncertainty and an inability to express herself fully. She’s the type to either bite back on what she truly wants to say and remain silent because she doesn’t want to rock the boat or cause a rift between her and her friends. Despite sharing the same goals of her other AVALANCHE team members, Tifa is the one most hesitant about bombing the ShinRA reactors, worried about the casualties that would result in such actions. But despite her reluctance, she joins the missions in order to help and look after her friends.

Tifa is very much the caretaker and nurturer of her group. She often looked after her friend Barret’s daughter, Marlene, when he was away doing missions for AVALANCHE, and has become her surrogate mother by the time of her canon point, as well as mother figure for a boy named Denzel. She has a great capacity to love and she is fiercely protective of those she cares about, willing to do anything she can to protect them. However, Tifa has a tendency to be ruled by her emotions, particularly when it comes to her loved ones. Following the death of her mother as a child, she sets out to cross Mt. Nibel despite the dangers because she believes she will find her mother on the other side. She also takes in Cloud, who she hasn't seen in years, and asks him to join AVALANCHE despite the danger that sharing their secrets with an outsider could be bring to the group.

But that isn’t to say that Tifa doesn’t have her darker side as well. With her great capacity to love also comes an ability to hate as well. She carries a deep hatred for ShinRA, SOLDIER, and Sephiroth, who is responsible for the death of her father and destruction of her home. It is this hatred that leads her to seeking out and joining AVALANCHE in their attempts to take down ShinRA and save the planet from their pollution. While her hatred and distrust of ShinRa and Sephiroth are still present, and will probably never go away entirely, they are muted by the fact that they both have been defeated. Tifa is capable of holding strong grudges, but she is also able to move past those grudges and look towards the future. Her determination to re-open Seventh Heaven as a way to serve her community in the wake of the Crisis is her way of starting over and also her apology for the hand AVALANCHE had in the destruction done to Midgar.

She is also a fierce and fast fighter, relying on her body to take down her opponents. She takes great pride in her abilities as a fighter as they give her a way in which to protect those she cares about. She by no means underestimates her abilities, but just the fact that she could lose is not enough to stop her from fighting if she feels she has to. She rushes headlong into Sephiroth in revenge for her father even knowing she doesn’t stand a chance, as well as faces Loz during Advent Children in order to protect Marlene. It is part stubbornness and part resolve that keeps her fighting even when she knows it’s a losing battle.

ABILITIES:
Martial Arts: Tifa is a trained martial artist who specializes in hand-to-hand combat. Rather than having a traditional weapon, Tifa cycles through different types of gloves, starting with basic leather gloves, and upgrading to gloves with knuckles and gloves with claws to perform more powerful attacks.

Her specialized physical attacks, also known as her Limit Breaks, are as follows:
Level One:
Beat Rush-She delivers a swift series of powerful punches to her opponent.
Somersault-While somersaulting in the air she delivers a kick to her opponent.

Level Two:
Waterkick-A sweeping kick accompanied by a blast of water.
Meteordrive-Lifts her opponent in a vertical suplex and slams them into the ground.

Level Three:
Dolphin Blow-An uppercut attack that is accompanied by water and a Dolphin.
Meteorstrike- She picks up and spins her opponent before jumping into the air and slamming them into the ground.

Level Four:
Final Heaven-Creates a giant energy blast with a punch.

Magic: With the use of Materia Tifa is able to use magic to heal, use elemental magic, and strengthen her own abilities and/or weapons (in her case, her gloves). With Summon type Materia she is also able to summon god-like creatures to assist in battle. For the purposes of the game she will only have a Lightning, Cure, and Barrier Materia with her upon arrival. Lightning Materia grants the user the ability to use lightning-elemental spells that deal out small, moderate, and large amounts of lightning damage. Cure Materia is used for basic curative spells, healing wounds and physical damage. Barrier Materia provides temporary defensive spells that can block the user from both physical and magical attacks.

PERSONAL EFFECTS:
• One pair of black leather gloves
• (3) Materia: Lightning, Cure, and Barrier
PRIZED POSSESSION: A family photo of her, Cloud, Marlene, and Denzel.
