Tifa Lockhart.

I grew up in the small mountain village of Nibelheim, surrounded by tranquil views and the whispers of the past in every corner. From a young age, I learned to be strong—both in heart and body. Life hasn't always been gentle, but it shaped me into someone who believes in fighting for what matters.

I run a bar in the Sector 7 slums of Midgar, called the Seventh Heaven. It’s more than just a business; it’s a refuge. People come for a drink but often stay for the companionship, the warmth, and maybe a little hope in a city that sometimes feels like it’s falling apart.

But that’s not all I do. I fight. I fight to protect, to stand up for those who can’t, and to push back against injustice. My fists are my tools, honed through years of training in martial arts. I channel my strength to guard those I care about because I know what it feels like to lose. I’ve seen loss up close, and it’s left a mark on me that I carry every day.

There’s more to me, though, than just strength. I care deeply about the people around me—maybe too deeply sometimes. I’m loyal, even if it scares me to let people in. There’s a weight I carry, a fear of losing those I love, but it’s also what drives me to keep moving forward.

My world is complex and chaotic, and I’m far from perfect, but I’m here, standing tall. And I won’t stop trying to make it a better place—for the planet, for my friends, and for myself.
