THEM Character Name: Tifa Lockhart Character Age: 20 Canon: Final Fantasy VII Canon Point: On the Highwind outside of Junon, after she escapes from the Sister Ray and her near-execution, but before she finds Cloud
Personality: From the time when she was young, Tifa has always been fairly popular. She is a kind and compassionate person who is easy to befriend and like. She cares about everyone she knows and is extremely loyal to anyone she considers a friend. Out of all of her current friends, she is the most likely to be the "mom-friend," the one who takes care of everyone who needs it, as evidenced by what she does for Cloud on several occasions (one of which hasn't yet happened for her). This level of caring for others extends to facts she tells them. She doesn't actually lie to anyone, but in the case of memories not quite adding up or memories she isn't prepared to face, she has been known to remain quiet rather than speak out and potentially rock the boat. For all that Tifa is a physical fighter able to handle herself in a battle with ease, she doesn't handle emotions well. Or, at least, she doesn't handle her own emotions well. She can help her friends and companions deal with things that are troubling them, but her own are much harder to cope with and she tends to ignore them until she can't anymore. This doesn't mean she is at all timid. She is confident in her own abilities and those of her companions, but not overly so and it cannot be said that she is arrogant.
Like many residents of the Planet, Tifa has suffered greatly at the hands of Shinra, both the company and its leaders. For Tifa, Shinra represents everything bad in the world. She lost her father, her hometown, and the secondary home she found in Sector 7 all at Shinra's hands. Her loud proclamation at the end of Crisis Core that she hates Shinra, SOLDIER, and everything hasn't faded away. If anything, the fall of Sector 7 and the knowledge of what Sephiroth/JENOVA is doing to the Planet makes her grudge against Shinra all the stronger. Originally, she joined AVALANCHE to fight Shinra's grip on the Planet and she keeps doing that, even while following Cloud as he trails after Sephiroth. She also isn't above a slap fight with Shinra employees, like the one she has with Scarlett on top of the Sister Ray in Junon, despite being a gentle person in general. For the most part, Tifa's compassion keeps her from disliking a lot of people, but in special cases, like Shinra, she holds a grudge that will never fade. She isn't cruel by any means, as that just isn't in her nature, but she is quick to anger in these cases.
Living in the Sector 7 slums has taught Tifa hardship even beyond her near-death at Sephiroth's hands after the Nibelheim incident. Her compassion and kindness aren't the products of naivety; rather, they stem from her inner self and it's a testament to her core character that Midgar and Shinra never beat or shocked that out of her. At times, she even uses their corruption to her advantage, coming up with a plan to sneak into Don Corneo's manor under the guise of his sex trafficking schemes. She, Cloud, and Aerith threatened the Don to uncover one of Shinra's schemes and used the intel to try to save other slum residents of Midgar.
Because she is a martial artist and thus well-known for punching and kicking her way through battles, it is easy to think of her as a fighter and nothing more. In reality, this is only one trait out of many. In many respects, she is gentle and compassionate, while also being a good person to have in a fight. However, she is also intelligent and able to think herself into and out of situations if she needs to. She doesn't just go along with plans because someone else suggests them or even because Cloud is following them. Tifa managed to get herself out of her own binds in Junon, before she could be executed by Shinra as an example. For most of the game, Cloud is the leader and Tifa follows his lead, as much because she trusts him and his cause as it is to keep an eye on him and figure out his jumbled memories and personality. A lot of her purpose in the game is to support and poke at Cloud, but he isn't everything for her. When it comes down to it, when Cloud is lost or otherwise incapacitated, Tifa can and does take the lead and she is a good leader.
