Bio

♥ where we all come back, time and again ♥

A word one always associates with Aerith is kindness. Even with the desires and motivations of any normal girl – normal as far as she knows – Aerith has always been kind. To children, to her flowers, to the people around her that she chooses to help; at times, her kindness can be unconditional. It is always sincere. This kindness doesn’t mean she is easily used, however. Growing up in the Midgar slums, Aerith is in possession of a serious amount of strength, determination, intelligence, and fiery spunk, should the situation call for it. Just because her first inclination is to help and heal doesn’t mean she can’t beat the snot out of you. Still, her first inclination is to give people the benefit of the doubt, quite skilled in reading personalities and emotions, offering gentle – if blunt – advice when it’s needed; or maybe not so gentle. Aerith knows a smack upside the head is needed sometimes, too, and if the people she cares about are ever threatened, she can be just as fearsome and tough as she needs to be.

She can be playful and cheerful, insightful and empathic, quiet and reserved, fierce and strong. She’s all these things despite a childhood that would snuff out the light in others: her father murdered, her mother, the last of an ancient raced called the Cetra, escaping with Aerith to safety only to perish not long after. Adopted by a woman in the slums, Aerith has grown up in that harsh environment, meaning she’s capable of defending herself quite well, with enough physical and magical abilities to hold her own, especially when it comes to staff skills and healing spells. However, she is still very much a normal girl with real wants and motivations and can be surprised or embarrassed, especially when it comes to a certain SOLDIER by the name of Zack Fair.

Their meeting was by chance. Or by fate, perhaps, Aerith discovering Zack in her flowers and a hole in the ceiling of the church where she grew them. Though their time together was brief, Aerith established a very real, very strong connection with Zack, enough so that when he left on a mission to Nibelheim, she was willing to wait for him. One year later she’s still very much the same girl, kind and strong and cheerful; she still cares about her flowers and her little portion of the Sector Five slums; she’s still resourceful and intuitive, in tune with the voices that she hears coming from the cracks in the city’s dingy armor. She doesn't have much love for the Shinra company, but she long ago made her peace with the city and the people who have suffered more than she has.

She’s still waiting.
