Aeris is a bright spot in the middle of a dark and dreary town. While selling flowers near AVALANCHE's first target, Aeris' life was forever changed after a chance meeting with Cloud. Because of her mysterious background, Shinra has pursued her for most of her life. Now she must fight against those who would enslave her and destroy what she holds most dear.
Aeris is the closest character Final Fantasy 7 has to a dedicated magic user. Her physical attacks are fairly weak but she possesses great skill with Materia and its various forms. Due to this odd balance, You should put her in your back line and load her down with Materia. Let Aeris devote her efforts to spell casting while her teammates concentrate on inflicting physical damage.
