[ Character's Name ] : Tifa Lockhart [ Character's Age ] : 20 [ Series ] :Final Fantasy VII [ Canon Point ] : just after breaking out of Junon base/before Mideel
[ Personality ] : Tifa is a very pragmatic person, someone who has been self-reliant from an early age and knows how to work with what she has. Yes, there is a part of her that fantasizes about being rescued by the hero, but she's outgrown any expectation for it. While she has no trouble accepting or even requesting help from others, she doesn't depend on it. She is used to deciding for herself what's best for herself. She may need to deliberate before coming to a decision about something, but once she reaches that decision, she is confident in it, and won't go back on it. This can make her both extremely determined and stubborn, and it's not wise to underestimate her.
Tifa is capable of pushing forward in the worst of circumstances. In fact, action seems to be her way of coping with loss. She can and will throw herself behind causes to distract herself from her own feelings, and this can make her reckless. When her mother died, Tifa went to the mountains in search of her. After losing her entire village, Tifa survived in the Midgar slums and went on to join the resistance group Avalanche. When Cloud was lost at the Number 5 Reactor, Tifa wasted no time in volunteering herself to get information out of Don Corneo. It's only when she can't see any next course of action that she falters, and allows herself to get depressed.
She is far more cautious about her feelings than her actions, and the face she puts forward and her innermost thoughts are often different. Tifa presents herself as an optimist, and she's good at showing a friendly face. In truth, she tends to harbor a lot of secret worries and to neglect her own insecurities for the sake of putting on a strong appearance. She suspected from the beginning that there was something off about Cloud, but she kept it to herself, instead trying to keep an eye on him and figure it out on her own. If confronted about something before she's ready to voice it, she can seem uncharacteristically shy and uncertain. She makes casual friends easily, and a shared fight can make you her ally, but it takes time for her to form deep, lasting friendships, and actually even longer for her to confide much in people. Love in particular is something that she takes her time to be sure of, and she's very hesitant to take any chances on it.
When she can afford to be, Tifa is an earnestly warm and caring person, both towards her friends and towards those in need. Sometimes her way of showing it is a little more "tough love," but she's usually sensitive enough to know when the gentle approach is best. She's a good listener, and picks up on the unspoken better than some. She may not seem like it, but her difficulty in expressing her own feelings means that the same is required of her friends-- if they can't pick up on subtle clues, they'll most likely never know what she's really feeling. She is naturally protective of her friends and will defend them with her life.
On the other end of the spectrum, Tifa can definitely hold a grudge. She is not the sort of person who can forgive any transgression given enough time. She may be willing to accept former enemies as temporary allies, but once certain lines are crossed, she will never trust her back to you. If you really piss her off, she won't hold back.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] : + Tifa is a powerful martial artist. This woman can deal more damage with her fists than some of the other characters can with stabby weapons. She isn't super-human, but she's definitely at the stronger end of the human spectrum. + She's a bartender so she knows how to mix drinks and can hold her liquor pretty well. + She's also a good cook. + She can play the piano, though she's out of practice. + From her time with Avalanche, she has amateur-level knowledge of things like hacking and bomb-making. - Keeping that many things pent up is really not good for a person. - She is not a strong magic user, and without materia cannot use it at all.
[ Other Important Facts ] : This guy are sick.
[ Sample ] : Third Person It wasn't the first time Tifa had arrived in a city where she couldn't see the sky, without knowing quite how she'd gotten there. The only difference was that she'd never heard of this one, and it seemed to go both ways. From just a few short exchanges with the natives, she'd learned that neither Shinra nor Meteor seemed to exist here. That alone made it almost too good to be true.
But something very essential to a good dream was missing, the same person who'd been absent when she'd first stepped onto the bridge of the Highwind what had to be only minutes ago. Everyone had tried so hard not to call attention to it, but... She forced it out of her mind before she could dwell on it for long.
Instead she focused on where she was, taking a good look around the plaza as she towelled dry her long hair. There had to be someone who could tell her more about what had happened than the polite but somewhat vapid people who'd handed her the towel. She needed to find her way out of this strange place and back to her friends. Nightmare or not, that was where she belonged.
First Person If people wind up here as often as it seems, I'm sure you all have heard this question before, so I'm sorry in advance. But, I need to be sure.
[There's just enough of an edge to her voice to give away the fact that she has to put effort into sounding friendly right now.]
Does anyone have proof that time stands still back home while we're here?
[Because if it doesn't, and people are trapped here for months or even years... Meteor will fall in a week. Everyone can push on without her, and without Cloud, can't they? There'll still be people and places for her to go back to, right? But it's the "without Cloud" that weighs on her mind, and makes her less than certain.]
