Role in FFVII: Playable Character
Aerith was the last of the Cetra, a group of people closely attuned to the Planet. A half-Cetra, she was the daughter of Professor Gast and Ifalna. The Shinra believed she held the secret to the Cetra's Promised Land -- but Aerith also held the key to saving the Planet from Sephiroth, for she was the only one capable of activating the White Materia, summoning Holy to counter the effects of Meteor. Aerith died while praying for Holy in the Forgotten City of the Ancients, by the blade of Sephiroth's Masamune. Her death enraged Cloud, and continued to haunt him despite his defeat of Sephiroth at the end of FFVII.
Aerith returned in Advent Children, assisting Cloud from the afterlife, reassuring him of his guiltlessness in her death. She also provided the rain that healed the Geostigma disease that had infected Cloud, Rufus and many children; and saved Cloud after he was shot by Yazoo. She provided comfort in her departure, walking through her church doors, framed by light.

Hailing from Corel, Barret swore revenge on ShinRa Inc. when his hometown was destroyed by their malfunctioning Mako Reactor.

Barret formed AVALANCHE with Tifa, Jessie, Biggs and Wedge and fought against the ShinRa in Midgar by bombing their Mako Reactors.

Cait Sith was a talking black cat perched atop a giant, white moogle. It was actually a robot controlled from elsewhere by Reeve, a top employee of ShinRa. Inc. While originally a spy who gave Tseng the Key to the Temple of the Ancients, Cait Sith continued traveling with AVALANCHE and eventually turned to their side, redeeming himself by sacrificing his puppet body to gain the Black Materia.
While Reeve continued to rebuild Midgar by forming the World Regeneration Organization, he sent Cait Sith (sans the white moogle) to assist AVALANCHE in their battle against Bahamut Sin in Edge. He fought alongside Red XIII, perched on his back.

Role in AC: Returning Party Member
Role in FFVII: Playable Character
Cid Highwind was originally an aspiring astronaut under the ShinRa Space Program, but his dream of going to space was crushed with the cancellation of the project as the ShinRa chose to delve into Mako energy instead. Cid, himself, pushed the abort button when Shera refused to leave the rocket before her repairs were done. Coarse and brash, Cid continued to live in Rocket Town until joining AVALANCHE to fight Sephiroth. The Highwind, his airship, was destroyed when the group escaped from the crumbling Northern Crater.
Cid returned two years later in his new ship, the Sierra (named after Shera) to assist Cloud and Tifa in protecting Edge from Bahamut Sin's attacks.

Originally known as Nanaki, Red XIII was the last of his species, a wolf/dog hybrid capable of human speech. He was imprisoned as an experimental subject by Hojo of ShinRa Inc., who attempted to cross-breed him with Aerith in an attempt to create a Cetra with a longer lifespan. He escaped when Cloud, Tifa and Barret broke into ShinRa Headquarters to rescue Aerith.
Red XIII had always lived believing his father was a coward, but a trip to Cosmo Canyon proved that his father had been protecting their homeland all along. He continued to accompany Cloud in pursuit of Sephiroth, and returned two years later to assist AVALANCHE in battling Bahamut Sin in Edge.

Role in AC: Returning Party Member
Role in FFVII: Playable Character (hidden)
Daughter of Godo, Lord of Wutai, Yuffie Kisaragi was a spunky, headstrong ninja adamant about recovering her hometown's lost glory in the war with ShinRa. She embarked on a trip to collect (or steal) materia, which led her to meet with AVALANCHE and eventually join them (for their materia). After the battle with Sephiroth, Yuffie surprisingly entrusted the group's materia to Cloud, who left them idly on the floor of Aerith's church.
Yuffie has called Cloud before to inform him of the missing children from Wutai, but made her return by parachuting into Edge to assist the group in their fight against Bahamut Sin. Her landing showed that Yuffie had yet to get over her motion sickness, something that plagued her during her travels on the Highwind.

Role in AC: Turk
Role in FFVII: Non-playable (enemy)
Leader of the Turks, Tseng served President ShinRa and, later, Rufus directly. Although he cared for Aerith, he kidnapped her under President ShinRa's orders and later traveled to investigate the Temple of the Ancients. It is there that he was severely injured by Sephiroth, but was able to recover and return to duty.
He and Elena investigated the Northern Crater in the later half of the two years preceding Advent Children, but they were caught and tortured by Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz. Their bloodied identity cards were presented to Rufus as proof. Tseng made another comeback as he and Elena were present to support Rufus after the ex-President's showdown with Kadaj.

Role in AC: Turk
Role in FFVII: Non-playable (enemy)
A rookie Turk, she was promoted to join her seniors when Reno was injured during the plan to destroy Sector 7. A bit light-headed, with the tendency to reveal core information to the enemy, Elena was nevertheless extremely loyal to her boss and focused on carrying out her duty as a Turk. She harbored feelings for Tseng, and took his injury at Sephiroth's hands extremely personally.
She accompanied Tseng to investigate the Northern Crater after FFVII, only to be defeated, caught and tortured by Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz. She made her return to back Rufus up after the latter's showdown with Kadaj.
