General Character Information
--------------------------------------
Character Name: Tifa Lockhart
Character Age: 20
Character Gender: Female
Character Race: Human
Character Position: Neutral (leaning toward Good side)
Character Personality: Tifa is a woman of extremely kind heart. She often gives into her mothering tendencies, as well as provides emotional support to anyone who needs it. While some people may view these characteristics as those of a weak person, in this case these assumptions couldn’t be more wrong. Tifa is a very strong individual, physically and mentally. If anything, her kindness and caring are what makes her so strong and determined. She will easily give her life to protect her friends and loved ones.
With a soft smile and soft voice, she’ll take care of anything a friend needs.
Character's Appearance: Tifa
(as opposed to most images of Tifa, her hair is black.)
--------------------------------------
Battle Information
--------------------------------------
Weapon Appearance: Tifa’s only weapons are her fists and feet. It’s apparent she’s battle ready when she adorns simple leather black gloves she pulls from a pocket. They only come up to the wrists, and seem to have no real special property to them other than to prevent scrapes on her knuckles when punching through hard or rough surfaced objects.
Abilities:
Zangan-Ryu Style: First Heaven
Tifa's is a practicer of the Zangan-Ryu style of hand-to-hand martial arts, a combat style known for it's amazing physical force. Tifa may be light and nimble but in combat even her lightest punches and kicks can have the power of a knock-out blow behind them.
Zangan-Ryu Style: Second Heaven
Tifa collects power into her fist before thrusting it forward. This releases a huge tall and wide burst of blue-tinted energy in front of her that blasts across the area immediately ahead of Tifa with several explosive pulses. Final Heaven severely batters anything caught within it and blows away anything that touches it. This ability has a cool-down of three turns.
Zangan-Ryu Style: Third Heaven
A protective technique that enhances the Tifa and any of her allies' defenses with a yellow-tinted light against physical and metaphysical damage. This ability's effect does not nullify damage taken, it merely dampens it and the pain caused by roughly half of the damage that would have been dealt normally. Even sharp blades would seem dull against bare skin for the duration of this skill's effect. This ability lasts for four turns and has a cool-down of four turns.

Character History
--------------------------------------
Tifa Lockhart has had a long and involved past connected to a certain moody blond swordsman. Hailing from the same world, the two were childhood friends. Cloud left her to become a SOLDIER for his own reasons, some believed to concern her. Once reunited after Sephiroth turned to the darkness (embodying Cloud's darkness), the young woman was deeply disturbed when, forced from their world by dark creatures she didn’t understand, everyone was scattered and Cloud disappeared completely. Tifa herself was separated from the rest of Radiant Garden, just as Cloud was, though he appeared on Olympus and she another world apart as well. She quickly began traveling to find her home and friend, following rumors she happened upon. The travel and gathering of knowledge was very slow and most of the time wrong, leading her on many wild goose chases. Even when the information she learned was accurate, by the time she would reach where he had been, he was long gone.
After fighting along side Sora against the heartless back on Radiant Garden, Tifa finally found Cloud when he was about to battle Sephiroth, and she gave him the most light she could. With a couple flashes of light, Cloud and Sephiroth disappeared, leaving her to resume her search for him once more.
--------------------------------------
Other
--------------------------------------
Tifa has been hinted to have feelings for Cloud as well as possibly being his light or connected to his light in some way.
Her Zangan-Ryu martial arts is comprised of 10 different "forms"(Which will eventually become ten abilities), each called a "Heaven" and each of which must be individually learned in order to become a true master of the art.

Sample Post
--------------------------------------
Tifa’s usually soft features gained a certain battle ready smirk as black gloves were slowly produced from a pocket in her leather skirt-shorts. Slipping them over her fingers and up to her wrists, the young woman adjusted them and stretched her fingers, then made a fist. With the sounds of tightened leather clenching against leather, she eased into a martial arts stance.
“If it’s a battle you want, then a battle you’ll get. But I have someone to find.” She spoke, voice calm and even as she stared down the looming heartless with her dark brown eyes. Black locks whipping over her face, she shoved herself into the air at surprising speed toward the creature. The girl was stronger and much more formidable than she appeared.
She wanted this fight over with as quickly as possible. Her target moved very quickly, and any delay would make the hard-to-come-by information useless.
“Please, Cloud, I hope you'll be there still...” She thought to herself. She knew he insisted upon doing things on his own, but she felt he’d benefit from her presence. If she could give him a little light the first time she found him, then it proved she could help. Guilt and darkness were hard to deal with when alone.
With that thought, she pulled her fist back, and then unleashed a blow to the middle of the large heartless, sending it a good ten feet backward into a wall that promptly crumbled.
I did post in shades of grey if anyone even remembers that lmao
