Character Information
Name: Tifa Lockhart
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Canon Point: End of FFVII Remake
Age: 20
History: Wikipedia; Since FFVII Remake is a reimaging of the original 1997 game Final Fantasy VII, Tifa's history is not relavent from the original Final Fantasy VII on the Wikipedia beyond the first 6-10 hours, which tells their story in Midgar before they leave to venture into the rest of the world. This also includes any specific changes in her character development, as she is highly dynamic
later in the game, but it's relatively static while Aerith is the focused heroine in the beginning. Tifa's originally FFVII history and personality do apply, but anything that is presented differently in remake storyline obviously takes priority.
Personality:
KIND & PROTECTIVE/MOTHERLY

Tifa is a girl that cares about everyone : she wishes for the liberation of Midgar from Shin-Ra's control while also wishing for as little harm to come to the various employees at the company. Although she despises Shrin-Ra for the destruction of her hometown and their abuse of the planet, she is against any unnecessary killing, and is the voice to plead with Cloud and Barret when they clearly feel killing is quite appropriate (and more convenient.)

For those she is close to she is always looking out for them, and constantly worries over them. She is very motherly, and it's important to her that she sees her friends have her support and be in good places as much as possible, both physically and mentally. Tifa is always the first one to reach for Aerith when she feels she's in a dark place, and in return you can see the mutually protective friendship the girls share. She constantly worries about Cloud and his strange(r than normal) behaviors, Barret's safety and how he is viewed by other people sure to his short temper and his generally intimidating behavior towards strangers.
Lesser examples can be seen in the way she takes care of Marlene like her own child or younger sibling when Barret is absent, as well as how she treats her customers at her bar.

EMPATHETIC

Her ability to see people not through a black and white spectrum helps her keep Avalanche's more radical members in tune with the citizens in the city they are trying to SAVE (as well as the planet.) She is very careful with her words and actions and is considerably observant went aware of others around her and their own feelings instead of just her own. This allows her to be extremely aware, as well as help the others in her group do the same. This is very good at keeping her friends grounded and reminding them that they should consider society's emotions in how they act or react towards it as a whole.

SHY AND TIMID

Her physical appearance is often considered "deceptive," as while she looks as if she is a very confident and outspoken individual, she is quite the opposite. She is very hidden with her feelings and while she does put effort into acting confident on the outside, she isn't not so much on the inside and is unwilling to open up easily beyond her kind personality. She'll listen, support, comfortable, and encourage her friends all day long, but she speaks very little about herself and her own feelings.
(This plays a huge role further into the FFVII storyline, which Remake has not progressed really far through, yet, so while there are plenty of hints and examples, it's not quite so often demonstrated. It comes out in remake mostly as insecurity.)

Despite this, is quick to act and fearless when it comes to protecting her friends.

INSECURE & CONFLICTED

She is very troubled by her her feelings (of multiple variety), her feelings on decisions both before and after she makes them, and in her ability to talk about her feelings openly.. She worries terribly as well, especially when it's a situation that will concern the wellbeing of her friends (, and often struggles with herself as to whether her heart is really into being part of the Avalanche radical tactics of her cell, like reactor bombings. Jessie provides us with this insight and Marle also suggests to Cloud that she needs a "real" friend that listens to her and cares about her well-being the way she pretty much cares about everyone else's. She also admits to Cloud about some of her conflicted thoughts and feelings by admitting they make her feel often "trapped." To her credit, she at least does attempt to be optimistic even when she's feeling very pessimistic insids. Since she's unable to describe many of her feelings in words, she often (especially further down the FFVII storyline) opts to keep all of them to herself.

Where and how did your character enter the Hedge?

Outside of Midgar giving one last look at the city she has called home for the past five years, Tifa turns to follow Barret and Red XIII along with Cloud and Aerith. It begins to rain, and the fog and mist steadily become thicker as she continues forwards until she can no longer see Barret and Red XIII ahead of her—and pausing, to look back—nor Cloud and Aerith behind her. She hesitantly continues to go forward, but finds the fog and most dissipating and leaving her in the Hedge, a place very different looking than the tocky landscape outside of Midgar.
