TIFA LOCKHART
Don't run. Let's fight it together. We can help each other, I know we can.

PERSONALITY
Sure, you might not answer the phone, but I don't see you throwing it away either!

First and foremost, Tifa is a mom. She's caring, maternal, soft and very loyal to her friends (almost to a fault). Her self-sacrificial nature is due to the loyalty she feels towards her friends. She feels she must be strong for their sake, their pillar when they need support. She fakes cheerfulness when she's just as scared as they are, feeling that if they can keep their spirits up, that's all that matters. She very rarely shows her true feelings to anyone, afraid of rejection and loss. She's a very closed person. While she's outgoing and sociable, Tifa does not let others in easily, and she's somewhat picky about whom she confides her trust in. This turns around to also mean that she's wary about people confiding in her, as well. This doesn't mean she's in any sort of state of denial -- but when confronted with things that don't mesh with her own perception, Tifa is far more willing to not say anything and wait to see where things lead before reacting. She can be plenty passive.

She's not very confident in her choices, either. Countless times, she's gone back on a decision, not certain if it's the right course of action. Tifa is the type of person who wants to know what the right thing to do is in any situation, even if it's impossible. However, though she may not verbally express her feelings, her body language and actions can. In this sense, she's actually a very open, very readable person. Vocally, Tifa is a closed book. Physically, she's not. It isn't something she realizes what she's doing, either, and when it's pointed out to her, she's always surprised. Her nervous habits (such as clasping her hands behind her back and crossing her feet at her ankles, or stroking her hair) are easily read and divined, especially by her friends.

Indeed, it seems that the only reason Tifa keeps going is out of loyalty to her friends, knowing that the family she has in Edge is the only family she still has. Cloud, Denzel and Marlene are the most important people in the world to her, coupled with those whom she traveled with to save the world -- Yuffie, Vincent, Cid, Red XIII, Barrett and of course Aerith.

Rivals in love, Tifa wasn't sure about Aerith at first, but grew close to the other woman as time went on. Tifa isn't the jealous type, after all -- she's much more likely to do as she did with Aerith and Cloud and step back, preferring her friend's happiness over her own. She's much more likely to be sad and withhold it, than act upon her jealousy.

She likes to cook, clean, and do general mom things -- she makes a mean alcoholic drink as well, and isn't afraid to use her brute strength to be her own bouncer at her bar.

This may seem strange, with Tifa being the type of person who comes across as demure and reserved. She is both of these things, but it belies her true strength -- which is, indeed, strength itself. Tifa is a strong person, physically and mentally. She has seen much; her own near death experience, the loss of her mother at a young age, holding her dying father within her arms and witnessing the work of a madman destroying her home town has left Tifa, who was an innocent, perhaps even naive, child, hardened to the world.

She took up martial arts in order to protect herself; she uses it now to protect her friends and makeshift family, only taking up arms if she's forced to. It's very unlikely that Tifa would ever start a fight outside of sparring -- she prefers to end them.

Cheerful and kind, with a resilient spirit, Tifa is probably the light shining in the dark that is her workplace, the Seventh Heaven Bar. People have said that they frequent the place just because Tifa is a bartender there, and she's popular with patrons and her coworkers because of her generosity. She's an incredibly loyal friend, and rarely turns her back on them, if ever, even if they've done wrong. Tifa is also somewhat of a sacrificial soul -- she's more than willing to sacrifice her own personal happiness for that of someone else, or her own safety to rescue those in need.

HISTORY
Two years ago, think of the strength we all had when we fought that last battle.

Born in Nibelheim, a remote village tucked away in the mountains on the western continent, Tifa lived the first eight years of her life without event. She was pretty and popular, somewhat spoiled by her parents and adored by many of the other children in her town. However, when Tifa was eight, her mother passed into the Lifestream due to illness. Tifa was inconsolable; the people in Nibleheim that Tifa had been closest to were her mother and father, and the loss of her mother sent Tifa into a state of hiding away in her room, refusing to come out.

It was soon after her mother's funeral that Tifa decided that her mother had passed through the mountains, and that she wanted to see her. Her friends were unable to keep her from treading the mountain path and so the group of them, along with a young boy named Cloud who was following them unnoticed, followed Tifa on her 'journey'. However, her three friends grew scared at the possibility of being attacked by monsters, or worse, and ran off to the village. Determined, Tifa pressed on, and slipped on the rickety rope bridge that connected the path between mountains. Cloud tried to save her, but he was too late.

They were found at the bottom of the mountain in a heap. Cloud was fine, but Tifa had been rendered comatose. Tifa's father presumed Cloud was at fault, and though Tifa was only in a coma for a week, Cloud still remained blamed for the accident. The next six years of Tifa's life were spent, again, somewhat uneventfully -- however, when a wandering martial artist came into town when Tifa was about ten, she asked her father to sign her up for classes. She was a quick learner, and also signed up to be the town tour guide when she was thirteen, as well as taking piano lessons.

At fourteen, Cloud, a boy she really didn't know very well, invited her out to the well at the center of town. Hesitant to go, Tifa finally relented and arrived late to their meeting. Cloud told her of his plans to join SOLDIER in the spring, because he wanted to become like Sephiroth. Surprised, Tifa thought for a moment, and then asked Cloud to promise to save her, if she were ever in a bind. Cloud was confused, but promised, and left in the spring.

Though she hadn't known Cloud for very long, Tifa was saddened by his departure -- something that surprised her, a little bit. She kept an eye out in the newspapers and newscasts, listening for any sign of Cloud Strife, and would check the mail religiously every day, hoping to receive a letter from him. Sadly, the news and letters never came.

Two years later, Tifa had heard that Shinra was deploying SOLDIER to check the Nibelheim Reactor, due to reports of monsters coming from the broken reactor in the mountains. Her heart soared -- she was sure Cloud would be among them -- she gladly signed up to lead the party through the mountains to the reactor. When she arrived to meet them upon their coming to Nibelheim, she didn't see Cloud among them, just the legendary Sephiroth and a SOLDIER named Zack, along with two normal Shinra soldiers.

The morning after, Tifa met the four outside the Shinra mansion, and before they departed, they were asked by one of the townspeople if they could take a photograph of the two SOLDIERs and Tifa. Sephiroth obliged, and the group then started on their journey to the reactor.

Disaster struck about halfway up. A rope bridge separating two mountain peaks that had, up until then, presumably been considered perfectly safe, snapped at one end - with the party on it. All five of them fell hard to the rocky ground below and, although none present sustained any injuries, when they came to they realized they had been separated from one of the ShinRa guards. Sephiroth decided that the urgency of the mission overruled the safety of the second soldier and made their grueling way back up the mountain. Although the rest of the journey remained pretty uneventful, the group did come across a natural Mako fountain in a mysteriously colored cave, which they spent but a few minutes admiring.

When they finally reached the Mako reactor, Tifa was ordered to wait outside with the remaining ShinRa soldier looking after her. Although indignant, she didn't argue for long, and awaited Zacks and Sephiroth at the entrance to the reactor. When the pair of SOLDIERs did finally emerge, noticeably different, Tifa led them back to Nibelheim where Sephiroth secluded himself in the basement of the ShinRa Mansion for days.

Halfway up the mountain, the same rope bridge that Tifa slipped on so many years earlier broke, depositing the group uncerimoniously on the ground below. Luckily, this time around no one suffered any major injuries, though they had become separated from one of the Shinra soldiers. Sephiroth ordered the group on. The rest of the journey was uneventful, through a cave filled with natural Mako and materia. When they reached the reactor, Sephiroth told Tifa to wait outside, despite her protests. The remaining Shinra soldier stayed outside with her. When Zack and Sephiroth emerged, they were visibly shaken, and the journey back was done in silence. Sephiroth requested to room in the Shinra mansion afterward, and sequestered himself there for days.

When Sephiroth emerged, he brandished his sword and set the town of Nibelheim on fire before making his way towards the reactor. Tifa, her father, Zack and the nameless Shinra Soldier followed him. Tifa straggled behind her father, and arrived mere minutes after he did. To her horror, he was laying in a bloody heap outside the reactor, Sephiroth's discarded Masamune left just feet away. She kneeled next to her father's body and cradled it in her arms, finally shouting how she hated all of it -- Shinra, SOLDIER, Sephiroth, everything.

Consumed with her rage, Tifa grabbed the Masamune and ran into the reactor, intent on confronting Sephiroth. She raced up the stairs to where he stood, back to her, and tried to attack. Sephiroth's skill was too much for her though. He wrested the grasp of his sword from her and slashed her with it, sending her flying down the stairs. She landed in a crumpled heap at the bottom, and was knocked out cold.

What she didn't know was that the nameless Shinra soldier that had been her protector the first time they had gone to the reactor was Cloud, the boy she'd been hoping to hear from all those years. He moved her prone body to be more comfortable, and rushed after Sephiroth.

Tifa only awoke after her teacher, Zangan, arrived at the reactor and was only able to rescue Tifa before Shinra showed up to collect the bodies of their soldiers and clean up the mess Sephiroth had made. Unable to keep Tifa healed compeltely with his materia alone, he took her to Midgar, where there was a doctor he knew that could heal Tifa's wounds and take care of her while he continued on his travels.

With nothing left for her in Nibelheim, Tifa adapted into life in Midgar with relative ease. She gained work as a waitress at a bar in the Sector 7 slums, and when she was eighteen, she was able to purchase the bar, which she named Seventh Heaven. Tifa never learned the truth of what happened at the reactor; news reports simply stated that Sephiroth had died in a military accident.

It was some years later that Tifa met Barrett Wallace, a member of the terrorist group AVALANCHE. Filled with hatred for Shinra -- for what they were doing to the planet and what happened in Nibelheim, Tifa joined AVALANCHE and allowed the group to use the basement of her bar as their secret hideout.

It was only a few weeks after that, that Tifa found Cloud. He was slumped over at one of the train stations outside the slums, dressed in a violet SOLDIER uniform. It was the first time she had seen him in seven years, but Cloud insisted that it had only been five -- that he had been there at the reactor when Sephiroth destroyed Nibelheim. Confused, and more than a little scared, Tifa quickly told him of the help that was needed in AVALANCHE. She was determined to keep him nearby so that she could find out just what was wrong with him.

She accompanies Barret and Cloud on their next mission, to destroy the Sector 5 Mako reactor. However, on their way out of the reactor, Shinra attacked, separating Cloud from Tifa and Barret. Distraught, Tifa returned to the bar, certain that Cloud was injured, or worse. However, she had no time to worry about that.

Upon their return, Tifa discovered a spy for the crime boss Don Corneo, a Shinra informant. Deciding that she had to grill Corneo for information, Tifa came up with a plan to become one of Corneo's "girls" for a night. She was surprised to see Cloud (in a dress, no less!!) coming to her rescue, along with another woman, named Aerith. Finally breaking into Corneo's private room, Tifa, Aerith and Cloud threatened Corneo with bodily injury if he didn't give information to them. Corneo gave up the information -- that Shinra was planning on dropping the Sector 7 plate, crushing the slums below -- but drops the trio into the sewers afterward. Racing to get back to Sector 7 before the plate drops, Tifa asks Aerith to get Marlene from the Seventh Heaven and get her to safety. With Barret and Cloud, Tifa stormed the pillar where Shinra were setting their explosives to drop the plate.

In the ensuing chaos, Shinra managed to capture Aerith, and Tifa joins Cloud and Barett in the decision to rescue her from Shinra headquarters. They fail, and are put in holding cells when a mysterious person raids the building in the middle of the night. The group found that their cells had been unlocked somehow, and quickly escaped, though not before rescuing Aerith and an experiment named Red XIII.

Tifa made her way to Kalm with the group, and there Cloud recanted his memories of what happened on Nibelheim on that fateful night. Oddly quiet during the tale, Tifa chose to say nothing, deciding that she isn't sure which one of them is confused -- her, or Cloud. They decide they need to find Sephiroth, and his trail lead them back to Nibelheim -- where the town was in perfect condition, and none of the people living there remember them.

Eventually the group made it to the northern crater, where Sephiroth began to tell Cloud what really happened seven years ago. Tifa was unable to keep Cloud from submitting to Sephiroth's will, and was captured by Shinra to use as scapegoats to show that Shinra was still in control.

Tifa escaped the gas chamber with help from Sapphire Weapon, and climbed up onto the Sister Ray. Scarlet, a member of Shinra, followed her onto the large cannon, and possibly due to jealousy, began a slap fight with Tifa. Tifa managed to best the older woman and leaped off the cannon onto the Highwind, which carried her and the rest of her friends off into safety.

Having been directed to Mideel, where it was rumored the Lifestream connected to the physical world, Tifa found Cloud in a hospital, suffering severe Mako poisoning. Feeling guilt, Tifa opted to stay behind and take care of him. Soon after, the Ultimate Weapon appeared, causing an earthquake that threw Mideel into the Lifestream. There, Tifa was transported to Cloud's subconscious, and was finally able to help Cloud discover the truth about what happened in Nibelheim and who he really is.

They rejoined with the party, and with the final battle looming before them, Cloud told everyone to go their separate ways, temporarily and find a reason to fight. Tifa opted one more to stay behind with him, citing that she had nowhere else to go,and the two stay up late into the night talking.

The party headed to fight Sephiroth, and were victorious. Tifa and Cloud moved in together in a city built outside of Midgar named Edge, and Tifa reopened her bar, while Cloud started a delivery service. Cloud's depression and secrecy began to weigh on Tifa, though, and though she was happy with their family, inside she was beginning to wonder if it had been the right thing to do.

It's when Tifa took Marlene to Aerith's church to see if they could find Cloud that Tifa not only realizes that Cloud has Geostigma, but that she's attacked by one of the Remnants, Loz. Tifa is eventually defeated, though not before she performs admirably. Loz knocks her out, and Tifa comes to only after Cloud's arrival. She informed him that he was late, and promptly passed out again.

The pair were brought back to their home by the remaining TURKs, Reno and Rude and Tifa asked Cloud to go to the Forgotten Capital to rescue Marlene and the children that had been kidnapped by Loz, Yazoo and Kadaj. After his initial refusal, Tifa let loose with her true feelings, asking him which was more important -- a memory, or his family.

The next morning, Tifa woke to find the kidnapped -- and now brainwashed -- children surrounding the Midgar memorial. Tifa spotted Denzel with the children, and rushed forward to rescue him. Briefly knocked out in her attempt to rescue him from a monster summoned by the Remnants, Tifa came to quickly, and quickly joined the battle with her former allies, Aerith included, aiding from the Lifestream.

It is soon after this that she boards the Sierra, Cid Highwind's new ship, watching Cloud fight Kadaj, and Sephiroth. Cloud is defeated, but a message from Aerith tells everyone that he will show up at her Church, in the giant lake that is now forming there. She is relieved to see Cloud alive, and smiles at him when he looks at her.

[ Tifa seems to be settling in nicely, sitting next to a window with a mug of hot chocolate. She doesn't have a scarf, and so she's opted to stay indoors and watch everyone else in the snowball fight. She's got the PCD balanced on her knees, and she smiles into the camera. ]

Good luck, guys! [ A pause, and then she nods, deciding to ask. ] Is.. there a bar or restaurant that might be hiring? I just got here, and I'm staying with a friend, but I don't want to just lounge around the house! I owned a bar back home, so I wouldn't need training.

[ She jumps slightly as a snowball smacks the window she's sitting next to, and the PCD falls, closing the feed. ]

[ The face on the otherside of the screen is one knowledgeable of technology, so the confusion on her face isn't because of that. The place she's in is completely alien to her, and.. she looks a little frightened. ] Hello? I'm sure this is on -- if you can hear me, can someone tell me what's going on? One moment I was at my bar in Edge, and then the next...

[ She trails off, looking off camera for a moment, before looking back. ] I was here, wherever here is. [ She looks around again, now more perplexed than scared. ] This doesn't look like Gaia at all..
