Tifa

Name: Tifa Lockhart

Age: 24

Race: Human

Title: The Brawling Barmaid

Bio: A friend of Cloud Strife's since childhood, Tifa was one of many victims to the calamity of Nibelheim, but was rescued by the martial artist Zangan. After a lengthy recovery, she would learn Zangan's ways of combat before moving out into Midgar, where she owned a tavern known as the Seventh Heaven. She would reunite with Cloud and become a part of AVALANCHE, her bar acting as a base of operations for them. She would also work alongside them to save the world from the insidious threat known as Sephiroth.

Special Attacks:

-Feint System: Tifa has the option to cancel out any part of a combo attack, disappear, then reappear to attack at a different angle.

-Beat Rush: Tifa will perform a three-hit punch, advancing with each strike. Second or third strike can be canceled with a Feint.

-Dolphin Blow: Tifa performs a jumping uppercut strike, creating a splash of water and can follow up with a second, higher-reaching uppercut laced with a watery dolphin. Either part can be canceled with a Feint.

-Burning Arrow/Moonsault Kick: Tifa slides a distance to kick the opponent down-low, her extended foot catching fire. She can then follow up with a pair of cross-kicks and finish with a backflip kick. The second and third parts can be canceled with a Feint.

-Blizzard: Tifa fires an ice crystal from her palm. Slow moving, but has slight homing features and will briefly freeze an enemy on contact. Cannot be feinted.

*Blizzaga: The heavy variant of the "Blizzard" attack, only Tifa will summon a giant ice crystal above the opponents head, letting it fall on top of them. Can be avoided by dashing or high-blocking.

Throws

FORWARD: Tifa pins the opponent to the ground, then punches them repeatedly across the face.

BACKWARD: Tifa picks the opponent up, then hops into the air and throws them into the ground with enough force to bounce them off it.

Super Moves:

-Meteor Drive: Tifa will charge the opponent, laced with fire, and if she connects, she will latch onto their shoulders, spin like a wheel with them in her grip, then bounce them off the ground and plant a powerful Haymaker that sends them across the stage.

-Premium Heart: Tifa will swap out her combat gloves for Premium Heart, gaining an increase in strength depending on how full her Hyper Meter is upon its activation. Her feints can be activated much easier and her Materia attacks gain a little more speed and range. This form lasts only a few seconds, though, and she will get steadily weaker during its duration.

-Final Heaven: A set of seven slot machine wheels spin and the player will have to stop them, landing on either "Miss", "Hit", or "YEAH!" When all seven are stopped, Tifa will dash through the opponent with her fist outstretched. Hit will do moderate damage, Miss will do none at all, and YEAH does greater damage. If the player stops all wheels on "YEAH!", Tifa will charge energy into her fist after dashing through the opponent, then punch them hard in the midsection, a pillar of energy exploding upward from beneath them.

FATALITIES:

-Kneebreaker: Tifa kicks the opponent in the legs, buckling their knees, then grabs them by the back of their head and slams their face into her upraised knee. The blow smashes a bloody cavity into their face, but it doesn't end as she does it two more times, resulting in many of their teeth falling out and their nose getting smashed in. With one final knee to the face that pops out an eyeball, she lets them fall to the ground.

-Final Faceplant: Tifa grabs the opponent by the arm and, with a powerful wrenching move, pulls it off. As they clutch the bleeding stump, she grabs them by the other arm and jumps into the air before throwing them, violently, at the ground. The opponent hits the ground, headfirst, and with so much force that their head is crushed like an egg, their body still standing upright and their limbs twitching even as Tifa makes a graceful landing.

Intro: Tifa walks into the ring, pulls out a pair of leather gloves, pulls them on tight, then raises her fists.

Outro: Tifa stretches her arms up into the air, then clasps them behind her back in a "wistful" kind of way.

Stage: City of Edge

Theme Song: "J-E-N-O-V-A" from Advent Children

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Prologue: When the portals appeared in Edge and Cloud insisted on going through them alone, Tifa barred his path and said he didn't have to do this alone anymore. Cloud agreed, albeit somewhat-reluctantly, and both of them went forth together. Upon arrival, though, Tifa was separated and didn't know how or why: one moment, she was looking at Cloud's back and the next, she was on her own. Knowing full-well the dangers of this world, she set out to find him and hopefully bring a stop to the chaos.

Rival Cutscene:

(The doors to a large church swing open and Tifa walks in with echoing footsteps. The cathedral looks so familiar--a near-carbon-copy of Aerith's church. On another look, Tifa sees that there are no flowers here.)

Tifa: (sigh) That's disheartening--the best part of a familiar place is gone. (scans the area) And Cloud's nowhere to be seen. Of all the places, I thought he'd be here at least.

(Tifa goes to the center of the church and looks up at the stained-glass window.)

Tifa: Cloud...where are you?

???: Yo!

(Tifa whirls around in surprise, recognizes Yang who's waving in a pleasant manner, then raises her fists.)

Tifa: YOU!

(Yang holds up her hands in a reassuring fashion.)

Yang: Whoa-whoa-whoa, hold on a sec. I don't wanna fight. I just wanna talk.

(Tifa lowers her fists slightly, but keeps a brow raised.)

Tifa: Really?

Yang: Yes, REALLY. If I wanted, I could've hit you when your back was turned. Trust me, okay?

((Tifa gives it a thought, then lowers her guard, though she still has a pretty suspicious look. Yang looks around the church, then back at Tifa.)

Yang: What are you doing here of all places?

Tifa: I'm looking for someone. We came here together, but got separated.

Yang: Okay. What brought you here, though?

Tifa: I thought he might be here, seeing as this place meant a lot to him.

Yang: You really care about this guy, don't you?

Tifa: Yeah. We were childhood friends.

Yang: Wow...(gets mischievous glint in her eye) Think you could be more than that?

Tifa: (taken aback) Wha-?!

Yang: Ooooh! Are you blushing, Teef?

Tifa: I...I...

Yang: Knew it. Now, c'mon! Come clean! You like him, don'tcha?

Tifa: Sh-shut up!

Yang: Not 'til you give a straight answer.

Tifa: Or until I beat you to a pulp.

Yang: Sure. You win, I forget all this. I win, you come clean about how you love 'im.

Tifa: Fine. (slips on gloves)

Yang: The gloves are ON! Now I know I'm in for a fun time. (activates Ember Celica)

(Fade to black.)

Ending: Reunited with Cloud, who had been looking for her as well, Tifa put a stop to the mastermind, but soon after, found that her bar was pretty popular. She even found time to expand upon the bar, making it bigger to allow more customers from across the multiverse from Tony Stark's fifth round of jager to Bayonetta's favorite strawberry wine. She did, however, make a few vital additions--kept a "Not Allowed" photo of a blonde huntress and kept her new bouncer, Cloud, on active duty.
