[[File:Tifa_(55).jpg|thumb]]
  +
===Tifa Lockhart is the childhood friend and one of the potential love interests of Final Fantasy VII's protagonist Cloud Strife.<br />
===Appearance===
 
  +
Despite Tifa's reluctance to verbally express her feelings, her actions often do the talking for her. As she once said to Cloud, "Words aren't the only thing that tell people what you're thinking," and this is proven true by her on countless occasions. She keeps going, only out of devotion and loyalty to her friends. She would, and does, risk her life for them, proving that even though she sometimes can't find the right words to show it, they mean the world to her.<br />
Tifa has dark brown hair, occasionally appearing black, which falls below her waist and is tied at the tips to form a dolphin-tail split. In ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'' and some other appearances, her hair is shorter and reaches the middle of her back—in ''Advent Children'' because longer hair is difficult to animate. Tifa's eye color has been officially addressed as red, but they have been depicted as a brown in some appearances. Her most notable traits are her large breasts and long legs. According to an official artwork, Tifa's bust-waist-hip measures are 92-60-88 cm (36-24-35 inches).<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Ultimania_Omega_p533_6-0">[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Tifa_Lockhart#cite_note-Ultimania_Omega_p533-6 [7]]</sup>
 
  +
Due to poorly designed polygon issues on the PlayStation, Tifa was given large breasts, and added to her original outfit of a miniskirt she has become the victim of stereotyping, being depicted in hentai and pornographic fan art and doujinshi. Tifa's true personality, however, does not in any way reflect the way she has been stereotyped.<br />
 
  +
During the video game, Tifa aids the party in their fight against both the Shinra Electric Power Company and Sephiroth with her speedy and powerful martial arts skills learned from her master Zangan in her teenage years.<br />
In all her outfits across her many appearances, Tifa has worn some variation of a sleeveless shirt that exposes her midriff, a miniskirt and white teardrop earrings. In ''Final Fantasy VII,'' Tifa wears a white tank top and black mini-skirt with a belt and suspenders. She dons red and black gloves that extend to her elbows, red boots, and a metal guard on her left elbow. She wears the same outfit in ''[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Dissidia_012_Final_Fantasy Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy]'', ''[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Ehrgeiz:_God_Bless_the_Ring Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring]'' and the ''Itadaki'' series.
 
  +
Later in the sequels, Tifa is the heroine of Advent Children, living with Cloud in a newly established Seventh Heaven. She acts as both a mother to Barret's adoptive daughter Marlene whom is left in her care, as well as the Sector 7 orphan and geostigma-afflicted Denzel, whom was brought home to her by Cloud in the months leading up to Advent Children. The new Seventh Heaven is more of a cafe than a bar now, as it caters to both children and adults alike. Tifa also takes orders for Cloud's delivery service at Seventh Heaven. In the latest sequel, Dirge of Cerberus, Tifa is still seen at Cloud's side, though their relationship status has still been left open-ended.<br />===
 
In ''Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-'', and in flashbacks in ''Final Fantasy VII'' when she is a guide at [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Nibelheim Nibelheim], Tifa wears a cowgirl outfit with a short leather skirt and vest, a white shirt, cowboy boots and hat. In ''Crisis Core'' this outfit is given more detail, changing the top into a patterned, button-up corset, giving pockets and tassels to the skirt and vest and adding a belt around her hips. In her artwork by [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Yoshitaka_Amano Yoshitaka Amano], Tifa has white hair and wears a red miniskirt with a white top and red gloves. This outfit is an alternate outfit for her in ''Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring'' and ''Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy''.
 
 
In ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'' Tifa wears a white shirt under a black zip-up vest with black shorts that fold at the waist, forming an additional utility pocket at the front and a short duster at the back extending to her heels. She wears a pink ribbon around her left arm in remembrance of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Aerith_Gainsborough Aerith Gainsborough], and a [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Fenrir_%28Final_Fantasy_VII%29 Fenrir] ring on her right hand. Her gloves are black and shorter than in ''Final Fantasy VII'', covering only her hands. Tifa wears this attire in the ''[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts Kingdom Hearts]'' series and in ''Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-'', and it is available as an alternate outfit for her in ''Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy''.
 
===Personality===
 
While deceptively strong, Tifa is empathic and emotionally shy. While identifying and responding to others' feelings, Tifa does not express her feelings often and when she does she struggles doing so. In ''Final Fantasy VII'', Tifa is a hard worker and spends her time caring for everyone but herself, and keeps the feelings of uneasiness towards Cloud locked up. She has a motherly streak and offers sanctuary and physically protects those in need, often comforting the other AVALANCHE members. Tifa finds them kindred spirits seeking to end the tyranny the Shinra Electric Power Company has brought unto the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Gaia_%28Final_Fantasy_VII%29 Planet], although initially she joined the rebel group to seek revenge for the destruction of her hometown and the deaths of her family and friends therein. In ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'', Tifa has grown more forward and tries to keep their family unit together when Cloud falls into depression, pushing him to take action and stop brooding with what he considers to be his past failings.
 
==Story==
 
===Early Life===
 
Tifa was born in Nibelheim and was Cloud's next-door neighbor. She was out-going and had many friends, but although she and Cloud were only a year apart in age, they were not close. Tifa's mother died when Tifa was eight years old in [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII/Timeline#1995 1995], leaving her upset and confused. Tifa believed her mother had gone to [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Mt._Nibel Mt. Nibel], and that she could meet her again if she crossed the mountain.
 
 
Tifa headed off to Mt. Nibel and Cloud followed to protect her, but they fell from a rickety bridge. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Tifa%27s_Father Tifa's father] found her severely injured and blamed Cloud for leading her to Mt. Nibel. Five years later, in [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII/Timeline#0000 0000], Cloud decided to join [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/SOLDIER SOLDIER] like his idol [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sephiroth_%28Final_Fantasy_VII%29 Sephiroth], in part to impress Tifa. He called Tifa out to the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Well water tower], a local date spot, to tell her of his plans, and Tifa made Cloud promise to protect her if she was ever in trouble. He left to join SOLDIER the following spring and Tifa kept checking the newspaper looking for some mention of him, and asking Shinra personnel if they knew him when they came to Nibelheim. She would find nothing, for Cloud never made it into SOLDIER, becoming only a lowly infantryman.
 
===Nibelheim Incident===
 
Two years later, on September 21, [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII/Timeline#0002 0002], a 15-year-old Tifa works as a tour guide in Mt. Nibel and is taking martial arts lessons from [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Zangan Zangan]. In ''[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Before_Crisis_-Final_Fantasy_VII- Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-]'' she is hired by the player's [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Turks Turk] to lead a Shinra expedition to investigate a faulty [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Mako_Reactor Mako Reactor]. The expedition includes Sephiroth and a SOLDIER named [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Zack_Fair Zack]. During their stay she drops hints to Zack of dreaming of a blond-haired SOLDIER protecting her.
 
 
Unbeknown to her, Cloud is one of the two Shinra guards accompanying Zack and Sephiroth, but is concealing his identity due to his shame of failing to enter SOLDIER. Without her knowing it he prevents her entry to the reactor, attempts to protect her from a [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Monster_%28Term%29#Final_Fantasy_VII monster] attack shortly after (trying to anonymously keep his promise) and is helped down the mountain by her. Afterward, Tifa messages Zack expressing her worry for the soldier who helped her.
 
 
Sephiroth goes berserk when he learns who "[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Jenova his mother]" is, and on [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII/Timeline October 1st] sets Nibelheim ablaze, then sets off to the reactor. Tifa's father and others follow, but Sephiroth slays them. Tifa finds her father dead at the reactor with Sephiroth's [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Masamune_%28Final_Fantasy_VII%29 Masamune]. Declaring her hatred of Sephiroth and Shinra, she attacks Sephiroth, but he disarms her and cuts her down. Tifa falls down the steps and slumps to the ground.
 
 
Zack finds Tifa injured but she doesn't trust him and refuses help. Zack then engages Sephiroth, but is defeated. Cloud arrives and carries Tifa aside before confronting Sephiroth himself; he later admitted he thought Tifa's wounds were fatal.
 
===Midgar and AVALANCHE===
 
After Cloud had defeated Sephiroth but succumbed to his wounds, Zangan arrived and took Tifa away to [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Midgar Midgar] for medical treatment, unable to save all three (Cloud, Zack and Tifa) from the reactor. Though he cast [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cure_%28Ability%29 Cure] on her he only barely kept her alive, and it is implied she has no recollection of the journey.
 
 
After Zangan left Midgar, Tifa recovered and joined AVALANCHE, an anti-Shinra resistance group led by [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Barret_Wallace Barret Wallace]. She became the owner and proprietor of the bar and restaurant [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/7th_Heaven 7th Heaven], which houses AVALANCHE's base in a secret basement.
 
 
At the beginning of ''[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII Final Fantasy VII]'', when Cloud returns to Midgar as a mercenary in late [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII/Timeline#0006 0006], he meets Tifa. Unaware Cloud was in Nibelheim during its destruction, but suspecting something is off about his behavior, Tifa recruits him to work for Barret to examine him further. Realizing Cloud knows several things he should not and has forgotten things he should know, and also initially doubting her own recollections when faced with Cloud's, Tifa conceals this information while trying to figure out the reason behind Cloud's different character and inconsistent memories.
 
 
On December 9th, Cloud's first mission with AVALANCHE is a success, and he returns to Tifa's bar. Cloud attempts to quit AVALANCHE stating his indifference towards Shinra and the Planet, but Tifa pleads for him to stay reminding him of the promise they made as children. Cloud reluctantly assigns for the next mission and the next day Tifa accompanies him and Barret to [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sector_5_Reactor Sector 5 Reactor]. Cloud is separated and when they return to the hideout they find someone spying on them who points to the crime boss [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Don_Corneo Don Corneo] as a Shinra informant. Tifa concocts a plan to approach him; Don Corneo is known for calling up girls to his mansion and choosing one as his "bride" for the day. Cloud catches Tifa being taken to Don's, and infiltrates Corneo's mansion with a girl he met at the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Midgar_Slums Midgar Slums], Aeris.
 
 
In the ensuing confrontation Corneo reveals Shinra is planning to drop the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sector_7 Sector 7] plate to crush the slums. Tifa and Cloud race to help Barret defend the pillar supporting the plate while Aeris takes Barret's daughter, [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Marlene Marlene], to safety. The other AVALANCHE members are killed, and the pillar and Sector 7 are destroyed. Tifa, Cloud and Barret escape while Shinra captures Aeris.
 
 
Tifa, Barret and Cloud infiltrate [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Shinra_Headquarters Shinra Headquarters] to save Aeris, but are captured. Sephiroth attacks the building and kills [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/President_Shinra President Shinra], and in the chaos the group is released from imprisonment. The group flees from Midgar to [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Kalm Kalm] where Cloud tells the group how he was deployed to Nibelheim with Sephiroth and how the latter destroyed the town. His version is faulty, but a confused Tifa does not confront him both to protect him and because she doubts her own recollection.===Pursuit of Sephiroth[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Tifa_Lockhart?action=edit&section=8 Edit]===
 
The group travels the world tracking Sephiroth with Tifa supporting the party when she can. In [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Gongaga Gongaga] they run into Zack's parents who worry about their son as they have not heard from him in years. Knowing Zack was the SOLDIER member who came to Nibelheim with Sephiroth, Tifa gets upset, but lies to Cloud when he asks what's wrong. When they arrive at Nibelheim they find the town rebuilt, and the villagers (really Shinra employees hired to cover up the Sephiroth incident) not remembering Cloud or Tifa ever living there.
 
 
The group stays in [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Gold_Saucer_%28Final_Fantasy_VII%29 Gold Saucer] while the ropeway is being repaired, and Tifa is one of the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Date_Mechanics possible date options] for Cloud. If Tifa goes out with Cloud during the night she laments on being insecure with her feelings and how she wishes she could tell something to him but finds herself unable to.
 
 
When the group tracks Sephiroth down to the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Whirlwind_Maze Whirlwind Maze] Sephiroth shows Cloud the true events of Nibelheim's razing. Sephiroth's manipulations take their toll and Cloud comes to believe he is not a real person, but someone made by [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Professor_Hojo Professor Hojo] of Shinra with false memories. Cloud submits to Sephiroth's will and hands over the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Materia_%28Final_Fantasy_VII%29 Black Materia] they had stolen from Sephiroth earlier, a powerful [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Materia_%28Final_Fantasy_VII%29 Materia] that can summon [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Meteor_%28Final_Fantasy_VII%29 Meteor], then apologizes to Tifa as the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/North_Crater North Crater] shakes and the ancient beasts called [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Weapon_%28Final_Fantasy_VII_Creature%29 Weapons] awaken. Tifa and Barret flee on the Shinra [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Airship_%28Term%29 airship], ''[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Highwind_%28Final_Fantasy_VII%29 Highwind]'', as the crater collapses with the rest of AVALANCHE escaping another way. Tifa and Barret are brought to [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Junon Junon] where they are to be executed as scapegoats to show Shinra is still in control as Meteor looms in the sky.
 
===Meteorfall===
 
Tifa is thrown into a gas chamber while the other party members hidden in the crowd save Barret. While gas seeps into the chamber Tifa breaks out of her restraints. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sapphire_Weapon Sapphire Weapon] attacks Junon and blasts a hole in the gas chamber, saving her. Running to escape the Shinra forces, Tifa climbs onto the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sister_Ray Mako Cannon]. The Shinra executive [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Scarlet Scarlet] confronts Tifa, and the two descend into a cat fight. The ''Highwind'' commanded by the rest of AVALANCHE appears below the cannon and Tifa makes a leap for the airship. She is elected the party's temporary leader while Cloud is gone.
 
 
Cloud is found in [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Mideel Mideel], suffering from a [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Mako Mako] overdose. Tifa remains to watch over him, but Cloud is not showing signs of improvement. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Ultimate_Weapon_%28Final_Fantasy_VII%29 Ultimate Weapon] appears and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Lifestream Lifestream] swallows Mideel. Tifa tries to push the unresponsive Cloud to safety but both fall into the Lifestream.
 
 
Being submerged in the Lifestream lets Tifa enter [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cloud%27s_Subconscious Cloud's Subconscious] where she uncovers the truth about the Nibelheim incident, and helps Cloud restore his memories and motivations. Tifa learns Cloud admired her when he was young, and left to join SOLDIER to impress her. Tifa learns Cloud helped her during the Nibelheim incident even though she didn't know it was him at the time.
 
 
According to a brief mention of Tifa in ''[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Hoshi_wo_Meguru_Otome Hoshi wo Meguru Otome]'', after learning from Zack that Cloud truly is not himself, Aerith was responsible for protecting Tifa's mind from the Mako poisoning while she was in Cloud's subconscious, believing she can restore Cloud's true persona.
 
 
After Cloud's memories have been restored the two wash ashore near Mideel where the others find them and take them aboard the ''Highwind''.
 
 
In the aftermath of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Raid_on_Midgar Midgar's siege] by [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Diamond_Weapon Diamond Weapon] and the impending chaos of Shinra's destruction, Cloud dismisses the party instructing them to find a reason to fight. Tifa stays behind with Cloud as she has nowhere else to go. The two spend the night under the Highwind. Depending on the player's interactions with her during the game, the scene has two possible dialogue courses that vary in the amount of affection the two show each other.
 
 
In late January [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII/Timeline#0007 0007] the party descends to the bottom of the Northern Cave and defeats Sephiroth to release the power of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Holy_%28Final_Fantasy_VII%29 Holy]. After the battle Cloud feels Sephiroth is not fully vanquished, and Tifa stays behind as he descends into the Lifestream for a final battle. As he returns to his body the cavern falls apart and Cloud saves Tifa from falling. The party returns to the ''Highwind'' where they watch the Lifestream surge from the Planet to help Holy destroy the Meteor.
 
===Post-Crisis===
 
Tifa is the focus of ''Case of Tifa'' in ''[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/On_the_Way_to_a_Smile On the Way to a Smile]'', examining her life and relationship with Cloud after the Planet was saved from Meteor. Tifa, Cloud and Barret's daughter Marlene become a family in the newly built city of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Edge_%28Final_Fantasy_VII%29 Edge], and Tifa runs a bar called [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/7th_Heaven_%28Advent_Children%29 7th Heaven] while Cloud runs a [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Strife_Delivery_Service delivery service]. Her life with Cloud is initially happy, but Tifa becomes concerned with Cloud's secrecy and growing depression, which strains the family's unity.
 
 
Cloud brings [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Denzel Denzel], a boy he found from the Midgar ruins, to the bar, and he joins the family, but Cloud continues to grow distant from Tifa and leaves 7th Heaven with no explanation despite briefly showing signs of happiness again. Tifa calls his [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cellphone cellphone] several times but the answering service takes over. Shortly thereafter, the events of ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'' begin.
 
 
Tifa has a minor appearance in ''[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII_Lateral_Biography_Turks_-The_Kids_Are_Alright- Final Fantasy VII Lateral Biography Turks -The Kids Are Alright-]''. She is approached by [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Kyrie_Canaan?action=edit&redlink=1 Kyrie Canaan], a friend of the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Evan_Townshend?action=edit&redlink=1 Evan Townshend] (the protagonist of the novella) in Midgar, who asks her for the route to Nibelheim, which she reluctantly tells him. Later on in the book, she is approached by [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Leslie_Kyle?action=edit&redlink=1 Leslie Kyle], a friend of Kyrie, and apologised too; after this she lets him know she told Kyrie of his plans to travel to Nibelheim.
 
 
Tifa is also mentioned when seen as a one of many pictures in Corneo's manshion, which is destroyed by Evan Townshend.
 
===Geostigma Crisis===
 
Two years after Midgar was destroyed by Meteor, during the events of ''[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII:_Advent_Children Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children]'', Tifa serves as Cloud's emotional support, runs a bar called 7th Heaven in Edge, cares for Marlene and Denzel, and handles the business side of Cloud's delivery service.
 
 
While taking Marlene to the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sector_5_Church Sector 5 Church] to find Cloud, she discovers Cloud has [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Geostigma Geostigma]. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Loz Loz], one of the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Remnants_of_Sephiroth Remnants of Sephiroth], shows up hoping to find [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Jenova Jenova]'s head under Cloud's care. He finds Tifa, whom he duels. Though she puts up a good fight, Tifa is defeated after Loz uses his superhuman speed and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Dual_Hound pile bunker]. Cloud finds her unconscious in the church and prepares to hunt down Marlene, but a bout of pain from his Geostigma stops him. They are found by [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Reno Reno] and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Rude Rude] who bring them back to the 7th Heaven. Cloud first turns down Tifa's request to go to the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Forgotten_Capital Forgotten Capital] to retrieve Marlene and Denzel, fearing he will be unable to help them, but Tifa lectures about his apathy and self-loathing, talking him into going.
 
 
The next day, when Loz and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Yazoo Yazoo] have mind-controlled the children with Geostigma into going to the memorial in the center of Edge, Tifa attempts to save Denzel from them, but [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Bahamut#Final_Fantasy_VII:_Advent_Children Bahamut SIN] knocks her out. She joins the battle with the remaining AVALANCHE members, and is the last person to physically help Cloud—with Aerith providing support from the Lifestream—into the air to deliver the final blow to the dragon.
 
 
Tifa appears on the ''[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Shera_%28Airship%29 Shera]'' with the AVALANCHE members while Cloud fights [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Kadaj Kadaj] and Sephiroth, and arrives in the church with Denzel to heal his Geostigma, and share a shy smile with Cloud as he relaxes with the children in the pool of Lifestream purified water.===Deepground Conflict[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Tifa_Lockhart?action=edit&section=12 Edit]===
 
One year later, during ''[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Dirge_of_Cerberus_-Final_Fantasy_VII- Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-]'', Tifa appears during the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Midgar ground assault on Midgar], leading the tanks with Barret and Cloud in the battle against a group known as [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Deepground Deepground]. She appears when the gang is cheering on [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Vincent_Valentine Vincent] when he is "saving the world", and at the end, when [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Yuffie_Kisaragi Yuffie] enters 7th Heaven to inquire about Vincent. She is still running the bar, and lets [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Shelke_Rui Shelke] live with them. Tifa can be heard during a phone call to Vincent during his descent into Midgar's underground, but in audio only.

Template:Infobox

Tifa Lockhart is a playable character in Final Fantasy VII, and the deuteragonist of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. In Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- and Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- she plays a supportive role. Tifa is Cloud Strife's childhood friend but lost contact with him years ago. When she meets him again she convinces him to join the resistance group she is a member of, AVALANCHE, to fight Shinra Electric Power Company.

Tifa supports Cloud as his comrade and helps him fight his nemesis Sephiroth, bearing the same hatred for him as Cloud does due to the destruction of their hometown

Tifa (55)

===Tifa Lockhart is the childhood friend and one of the potential love interests of Final Fantasy VII's protagonist Cloud Strife.
Despite Tifa's reluctance to verbally express her feelings, her actions often do the talking for her. As she once said to Cloud, "Words aren't the only thing that tell people what you're thinking," and this is proven true by her on countless occasions. She keeps going, only out of devotion and loyalty to her friends. She would, and does, risk her life for them, proving that even though she sometimes can't find the right words to show it, they mean the world to her.
Due to poorly designed polygon issues on the PlayStation, Tifa was given large breasts, and added to her original outfit of a miniskirt she has become the victim of stereotyping, being depicted in hentai and pornographic fan art and doujinshi. Tifa's true personality, however, does not in any way reflect the way she has been stereotyped.
During the video game, Tifa aids the party in their fight against both the Shinra Electric Power Company and Sephiroth with her speedy and powerful martial arts skills learned from her master Zangan in her teenage years.
Later in the sequels, Tifa is the heroine of Advent Children, living with Cloud in a newly established Seventh Heaven. She acts as both a mother to Barret's adoptive daughter Marlene whom is left in her care, as well as the Sector 7 orphan and geostigma-afflicted Denzel, whom was brought home to her by Cloud in the months leading up to Advent Children. The new Seventh Heaven is more of a cafe than a bar now, as it caters to both children and adults alike. Tifa also takes orders for Cloud's delivery service at Seventh Heaven. In the latest sequel, Dirge of Cerberus, Tifa is still seen at Cloud's side, though their relationship status has still been left open-ended.
