Aerith Gainsborough

Aerith Gainsborough, alternately known with the first name Aeris, is a playable character in Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII Remake. She is one of the lead protagonists of the novel Final Fantasy VII Remake Trace of Two Pasts, and a major character in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, appearing in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- and Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-.
=About=
Aerith is the last of the Cetra, an ancient race with powerful magical abilities, and so the Shinra Electric Power Company hunts her throughout her life, seeking to exploit her powers. She meets Cloud Strife in Midgar, and the two become close, leading her to join his quest to fight Shinra and hunt down Sephiroth. Aerith is upbeat, carefree, and joyful, being flirtatious towards Cloud and compassionate towards others.
Aerith wields staves in battle, and is in the back row by default, as she primarily uses magic from equipped Materia in battle. Her Limit abilities are defensive, either providing restorative powers, healing other party members, or bestowing status enhancements.
Aerith's theme
==Dissidia Shadowgate==
Aerith, along with Zack, were seen in the epilogue as Cloud and Tifa woke up at the Core of the Planet. Their friends found them, and Aerith assured Cloud he has what it takes to be a hero after defeating various threats like Sephiroth, the Shinra, Chaos, and the Behemoth. She always admires and was there for him in the afterlife, making Cloud smile and realize he's no longer alone.
==Daemon Rising with a...SMASH!==
Aerith was only in her astral form, although Hack had to keep the impression since he's a male. With Slash, rebooted as Zack, the two ghosts wreaked havoc at the Mako plant and distracted the Shinra guards, even the Scorpion and the user, Safer Sephiroth, to let Enzo, Frisket, Fox, and Link Jr. win the Game against Dot's orders. Enzo and his friends were awestruck on how Hack transformed into a girl ghost!
