2. How old is she?

Once thought to be 28 years old, but the general consensus is that she's is 22 years old. I have a strong feeling that 22 are the wrong number.

3. Does she still have parents?

Her biological parents are dead. Her surrogate/foster mother is the only person she calls her parent.

4. Where was she born?

In a house in snow vile in the Northern Continent.

5. What's her blood type?

It's an O. Ever wonder why knowing your blood type is soooo important? The Japanese are especially fanatical when it comes to knowing people blood type. It's believed that your blood types influence your personality.

Anywho… for those who's blood is O and I quote, "the mood for a group and to take on the role of creating harmony among its members. Their image is one of taking it easy, of being peaceful and carefree. They are also thought to be big-hearted and benevolent… But, they also, surprisingly, have a stubborn and strong-willed side, as well, and tend to secretly have their own opinions on things." ~ For more detail check Sailor Moon Legend

1. What her name?

 

Her name is Aerith Gainsborough

Translates: Aerisu
Aerith isn't a native Japanese name... but you can still use Katakana to write it.

 

Personal relationship

1. Who's Zack?

Zack is Aerith's former boyfriend. Zack's was a member of SOLDIER until he was executed. He resided in Gongagas. Their first meeting is unknown but presumably to be in slums as Zack once been to Midgar. I wonder is Zack bought any flowers from her? ^_^ Talk about Déjà vu… hehe…

2. Why does Zack and Cloud look so much alike?

It's an in-game coincidence. Either that, or the FFVII Developers were too lazy to create an entire new character sprite… yeah… ::nods:: they're lazy. ^_^;

3. What happen to Zack?

On the outskirts of Midgar, Zack and Cloud was found. The ShinRa squad shot Zack… More than once just to be safe. ::cries:: it's soooo wrong!!

4. Is there really a love triangle between Tifa, Cloud and Aerith?

The relationship between Cloud and Tifa is obviously beyond the platonic plateau. Tifa's feelings for Cloud is evident during throughout the game; however, it is debatable whether if Cloud feels the same affection for Tifa. The relationship between Cloud and Aerith is no simpler than of what one would experience in grade school. 'Puppy love' is the term I would use. Cloud's vengeance for Sephiroth is more of his personal attitude and partly Aerith's death. In this perspective, the relationship between Cloud and Aerith isn't so obvious. Me thinks Cloud isn't so interested in Aerith as he is in Yuffie or Vincent. Keeping in mind that Cloud is a person with a lot of issue, budding psychologist such as me can probably write a paper… a book about him. ^_~

Battle information

1. What weapon does she use?

Staffs… She uses staff, nothing more… but, what about those flowers?! You know FLOWER POWER!! ^_^

2. How does she get them?

She gets them from monster's drops or from stores. Better weapons are found in treasures and winning from a mini-game. Parasol/Umbrella is arguably the best weapon for magic and summons however, in battle, the widely accepted 'Ultimate Weapon' would be the Princess's Guard which is found in the Temple of the Ancient. NOTE: In l_aZn's opinion, Princess's Guard sucks.


3. What kind of magic can she perform?

Initially, Aerith's stat favors the magic, thus makes her THE mage of FFVII. So she can cast whatever material you got for her. Depending on her current stats, and the elemental alignment of the monster, she can inflict significant damage against any enemies. Without any boosted (Magic Source, bangles, staff), she can hold her own ground on her own, providing that the material is mastered.

4. Other than playing the tragic heroine, what else is Aerith good for?

To tell you the truth… I would be a pure ignorant Aerith fan if I stated that Aerith is THE character to have in your party. While she is good in any situation as a mage, she's just not suited for battle. If anything, she is suited for the storyline of FFVII, and think of her as the catalyst that propels the story from a slow pace of chasing Sephiroth over all to the sudden crisis of the falling space snowball. She's just a character that you go with for some sight seeing.
