dirty cold slums,

where truculent creatures roam,

and thugs harm the poor innocents.

The flower, fragile and small

blossoms into a beauty

and is known as the one

called Aeris the Ancient.





Aeris Gainsborough is the beautiful flower girl with a mysterious past. Even with her looks, she is not a ditz, but a very intelligent and understanding person. Though, not as strong a fighter as Tifa or Yuffie, Aeris and her magic are very useful.

Aeris is sweet and kind, and when ::spoiler:: died, we wept. We actually wept for a game character... despite knowing in advance that she was going to be killed by Sephiroth. We missed her so much, the team was so empty without her witty remarks, cheerful comments, and pretty face.

Perhaps, Aeris was destined to die. But I always think that she is Cloud's soulmate, and that she fell in love at first sight with him. In the game, there is a love triangle formed between Cloud, Tifa and Aeris. (what about Yuffie You ask? well she is too busy hunting for materia.)

Aeris is bold and would do anything for a friend in need. She was older than Cloud, and they made such a kawaii couple.

I think Aeris is beautiful because she had large, glowing eyes, a perfect almond shaped face with a pointy, cute chin, and the most original bangs. The only thing I didn't like about her was her pink attire. I guess the creators wanted her to a very feminine character... Oh by the way, there is an uncanny resemblance between her and Sodina, the chick from the game Thousand Arms.

Then again, doesn't Rinoa and the new Final Fantasy X, Yuna girl look alike? (hmm, she has her own spin-off game, where you can see her butt! She is Yuna Croft, elixir raider... er::: And doesn't Garnet look like Tifa with a super-deformed blown up head? And doesn't Zidane resemble a monkeY? heheh... how queer.

What does Aeris look like again? If you really don't know click h e r e. You can check out my fanart section, there are some pics of Aeris anime style... They aren't the best out there, but they'll have to do.

If I were to pick a perfect heroine, I would nominate Aeris. She has the qualities of a true hero. Kids adore her, guys want her, girls hate her... but Aeris will always hold a special place in my gamer's heart. Man, I really have no life... but ha I have mad skillz!

She rox in Kingdom Hearts! Soooo pretty! Yah, baby. Cloud is hot once more too!
