Physical Aspects:

T i f a

Tifa Lockhart is a young woman in her early twenties who has a full hour-glass figure and stands about five feet, five inches. She has long legs and a big bust (and just for the knowledge Tifa’s Bust-Waist-Hips measurements are 36-24-35 inches (92-60-88 cm)). Tifa's body is a bit muscular and could probably be described as athletic or fit. Long, flowing dark-brown hair that in different lighting can seem black, but never the less it is a shade of brown, cascades down her head to her lower back. Her hair extends half-way down her back with bangs hanging over the right side of her face. Tifa has soft, light tan peach colored skin, that has a bit of a shine to it and is pretty soft given her hardened exterior. She has a kind face, though it can be hardened by different expressions. Her eyes are almond shaped and are a rich brown color though at times they can seem red. She has medium sized pink lips and rounded cheeks, in the center of her face is a small nose. No foreseeable blemishes, scars or other marks are visible, giving her an almost perfect physique.

Clad in monotone clothing, Tifa wears a white tank top under a black zip-up vest with black shorts that fold at the waist to form an additional utility pocket at the front, fit for tending to her bar. A duster/short cape hangs at the back of her shorts extending to her heels. In addition she wears black and white sneakers that are Converse styled. Hanging from her ears are tear-shaped silver earrings, though her right ear is mostly hidden by her hair. She can also be seen wearing a red ribbon on her upper arm. No real distinguishing features, though she is seems like an ordinary girl she is different like every individual.

Persona:

• Façade:Though Tifa is an empathic and emotionally shy character, she is physically stunning and deceptively strong. She often has trouble expressing her internal feelings, of which she is reluctant to express them at all. A hard worker, she has a strong motherly streak and tends to offer sanctuary and physically protects those in need. Seeking to do all that she can for those in need she spends her time caring for others at the consequence of herself. She is in addition she is smart, bright and optimistic, however she sometimes lets her emotions blur her judgement.
  
  
• Inner Mind: Tifa has learned from experience that life is not a bed of roses and things don't always go the way you want them to. Events that have happened in her past have scarred her mind. Even now, she is reluctant to recall such memories or even return to her hometown, as such reminders draw her back to the past. Alas, her experiences have caused her to to become less open and more particular in who she trusts. This has hardened her towards the world, however this has taught her to value her relationships with others more highly. Thus, this has caused her to put others needs before her own.
  
  In spite of her good heart, sometimes even she doesn't know what the best course of action is. Tifa finds herself questioning her own judgement and refuses to make decisions in fear of making the wrong one. Considering every possible implication and the morality of her actions, Tifa has set her head spinning. Although she can't be blamed for not knowing what to do in every situation, it is a fault which tortures her. However, out of love for her friends she is selfless and acts strong for her friends sakes. No matter how optimistic she may seem when helping others out of their darkest hour, inside Tifa is just as scared as they are. There is however, one person that she may slip how frightened she is.
  
  She keeps her emotions bottled up inside for fear of rejection and criticism, choosing to keep silent than open herself to the brushoff or make herself vulnerable to others' opinions. She is fiercely independent and often lets her actions do the talking. Tifa keeps going only out of devotion and loyalty to her friends. She risks her life for her friends, proving that even though she sometimes can't find the right words to show it, they mean the world to her.

What’s your story?

Tifa was born in a place called Nibelheim located in the mountains in the world that didn't quite have a name. Well, young Tifa was a lively, out going girl who had many friends. She lived next door to this blonde kid with spiky hair, even though she wasn't good friends with him.. she would soon later meet him again in other worlds. Tifa's mother died when she was eight years old, distressed and confused Tifa thought her mother had gone to Mt. Nibel and that she could meet her again if she crossed the mountain. So, young Tifa set to go to the mountain. However, the young boy followed her to make sure she was safe. Even though they weren't close, the boy felt some obligation in protecting her. Their trip was however cut short when they fell from a bridge, her father finding her soon after and blamed the young boy for getting her to go up the mountain. From then she rarely saw the boy again. However, he mentioned he would join SOLDIER and promised to protect her.

However, their fate wouldn't end there. She would meet this boy again in strange new worlds. At the age of 15, Tifa is working as a guide through the mountains when everything seems to crash down around her. Her world is essentially destroyed by this unknown darkness that was cast upon it. Tifa herself was cast into another world. However, Tifa blamed a group called Shinra for the destruction of her home. What she didn't know was that it was caused by this new force called the Heartless. She winds up in the Olympus Coliseum where she meets Zack. She spends time with him and drops hints that she dreams about being rescued by a blonde haired Soldier. Zack recalled that he had seen a blonde guy with spiky hair. This began Tifa's journey to find him and unknowingly help him.

However, it seemed that she just missed the guy, which one towns person said his name was Cloud. Tifa began to travel the stars. She then came to Hollow Bastion and encountered a group whose goal was to fight the darkness that was plaguing the worlds. Since she didn't have any more clues to where the mysterious blonde haired soldier may be she decided to join the group and help their cause. The world is soon invaded and she helps Leon and the others defend the place. While she is she sees the blonde haired guy, Cloud and goes after him. She learns that he is fighting someone. She aims to help him and is unknowingly his "inner strength" or "inner light", against the darkness that has taken shape as a man named Sephiroth. She interrupts a battle between the two and gives Cloud the power of light to combat Sephiroth's darkness. Cloud shines brightly and he and Sephiroth depart to places unknown to continue their battle.

Tifa went back to helping the others defend Hollow Bastion and takes up residents there, having built a bar there called 7th Heaven. She continues to search for Cloud, knowing somehow that they are connected and that deep down he was the boy from her childhood even though he does not recall it. He seems to know several things he should not and has forgotten things he should know, such as Tifa and his childhood and the promise he made which Tifa will never forget. She wants to help him remember. Tifa decides to keep this information to herself while she tries to figure out the reason behind Cloud's strangely different character and inconsistent memories.
