PLAYER: Robyn CHARACTER: Tifa Lockhart CANON: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
AU NAME: Tiffany Lockhart (goes by Tifa for short) AU AGE: 24 AU OCCUPATION: Former MMA competitor who occassionally does commercials for energy/protein drinks that sponsored her. Currently a kickboxing/aerobics instructor. BLURB: Tifa in canon is the emotional support and rock of her various canon friends, who suffers from a lack of emotional honesty and emotional shyness herself. Is in the monk class as far as Final Fantasy goes, which means she has super strength and can punch things really hard. Moreover a lot of her canon development and growth is tied (fortunately or unfortunately) to her sometimes vaguely defined, will-they-won't-they relationship with troubled hero, Cloud Strife. Tifa was a former ecoterrorist, who feels great regret and guilt over this and a billion other things.
My Tifa AU I'd want to separate her some from her canon self and give myself a chance to develop her away from her biggest canon relationship, but on a wider scale since she literally won't remember him. I'm wanting to play her as something of an adventurous spirit (if the ideas about her occupation above weren't an indicator) who has to ease into the role of protector and nurturer rather than automatically being slotted into it bc she's a girl from a 90s jrpg.
A few bullet points: - was a Popular Kid in elementary/high school because she's still pretty approachable and nice even in an AU - also bc she fought bullies. her desire to help others has extended to being the Mom Friend and also the Scary Guard Dog Friend - Tried REALLY hard to get into classical performances per her parents' wishes, but it really wasn't for her. she likes playing but it didn't resonate with her as a career - still an excellent pianist though. plays for her parents' guests during major holidays - her dad is disappointed in her job choices, her mom is less so but worries about her messing up her beautiful face bc then how can she get married!! - in other words they are pretty traditional but mean well - she sort of lets them steamroll her on occasion and smiles and nods because she loves her mom and dad - quietly is a little resentful though. has not managed to fully stand up to them yet. she'll fight everyone!! for her friends. will she fight her parents? no. - she owns a motorcycle. they definitely had heart attacks - not as big of a pushover as she is in canon though. overall a little rougher around the edges which is hilarious bc she lived in the dystopian hood for years but moving on - without all that 'i was a horrible terrorist' stuff pulling her down a lot of her guilt and feelings of inadequacy are related to sometimes feeling like she's letting her parents down. it's not nearly as bad as it was in canon tho so she’s more independent and more confident in her own decisions. her struggles are less extreme - is still stubbornly doing her own thing though in the hopes they'll come around - they used to set her up on dates and she's just like, 'kill me.' - is a huge romantic gushy nerd and it's embarrassing to everyone involved - a big fan of dolphins and sea life - doesn't like the cold. It’s a mystery! - does like to cook! and bake. and probably knit. - is jacked - huge extrovert, it's terrible. i'm joking
LOOKING FOR: anything is a cop-out answer but: anything - exes of all stripes are welcome, including people she went on like one date with and then ghosted on - coworkers! former and current - fans...lmao - students - buds, esp. childhood friends - people she went to school with, including fancy fine arts school that she dropped out of - surrogate siblings - familial relationships...i kind of imagine a tifa au having a big family.
CURRENT RELATIONSHIPS: - Jasmine Getielt selfloving is her childhood bff & current girlfriend - Eren Jaeger usurpers is her younger half-brother
