A beautiful 22-year-old, aeris is a bight spot in the middle of a dark and dreary town. While selling flowers near AVALANCHE's first target, Aeris life was forever altered after a chance meeting with cloud. Because of her mysterious background, Shin-Ra have pursued her for most her life. Now she must fight against those who would enslave her and destroy what she holds most dear.

Aeris is the closest thing Final Fantasy VII has got to a dedicated magic user. Her physical attacks are fairly weak but she possesses great skills with Materia and its various forms. Due to this odd balance, you should put her in the back row and load her up with Materia. Let aeris devote her energy's to spell casting while her teammates concentrate on inflicting physical damage. This also takes advantage of her defensive type Limit Breaks.
