Name:Aerith Gainsborough

Age: 22

Race: Summoner

Appearance:

Personality: Aerith, although seemingly "innocent," is very spunky, outgoing, mischievous, and at times, downright flirtatious. She generally remains optimistic throughout the days though her shady and somewhat mysterious actions leads others to believe she has something hidden behind. Aerith has the tendecy to help "anyone" round.

Fighting Weapon: Staff

History: Mother and child, flee from Shin-Ra's clutches to the munincipal Midgar. Ifalna, wounded in the attempt and on the verge of death, begs a woman to take care of Aerith. The kindly widow, Elmyra Gainsborough, accepts and raises Aerith as her own. With the death of her mother Ifalna, Aerith is now the last survivor of the ancient Cetra (Ancients.)
In adopting the title, she is burdened with its cursed circumstances. As the sole Cetra, her role as an envoy to the planet's cries ( "Lifestream") impose a responsibility far too overwhelming for a child to bear. To make matters worse, she has become the key target of the empirical Shin-Ra which is based in central Midgar--their hold completely enshrouding the city in economic and social disparity. Shin-Ra, inching closer to the Ancient's location, dispatches the Turks to finally recapture her.
Aerith, now a flower seller, tries her best to lead a normal life despite numerous kidnapping attempts by the Turks. She retreats routinely to a local run-down church which serves as an ideal hideaway from the insanity of the outside world. According to her, it is the only place where flowers seem to grow, a symbol of hope.
Ten years after her initial arrival in Midgar. While on a seemingly typical flower route, she bumps into a frantic Cloud who flees from the scene of Avalanche's successful bombing of a Mako Reactor.
The two would later reunite in Aerith's church, this time, under more tense circumstances. Faced with the possibility of being captured by Shinra, Aerith asks the mercenary to be her bodyguard against the Turks for the cost of one date. She is eventually kidnapped but once again saved by Cloud and company. Aerith joins them in the pursuit of the malevolent Sephiroth.
After a failed attempt to foil Sephiroth's stealing of a dangerous materia, Aerith ventures alone into the City of Ancients -- a reckless action in the eyes of her party. Cloud eventually catches up, only to witness a praying Aerith impaled by Sephiroth's Masamune. Cloud and gang ensue a fight against a form of Jenova and secure a quick victory. But, shaken, hurt, and saddened, they bye the loss of a dear friend. Cloud takes Aerith's body, wades out into the middle of the lake of Ancient Capital, and gives her body back to the planet by releasing her into the depths of the water.

After some time, some mysterious forces had been come about. In a full moonlight a voice echoed through the temple church, the same place Aerith had died and in the lake of Ancient Capital a body arises revealing the one and only Aerith! She was found by some strangers and had offered her food and a place to stay seeing she did not remembered anything from her past nor her name. The couple had decided to call her Flora (Goddess of Flowers) for her touch and care of the garden they have and the shop.

Occupation: Flower Seller and Gardener
