♥ Character Information
Name: Yuffie Kisaragi
Age: About 21 if I got the timeline correct.
Personality: Bursting with energy and confidence, Yuffie is literally the antithesis of a stereotypical ninja. Constantly praising herself as "great" or "magnificent," she comes off as cocky to most people, and to be quite frank, she usually doesn't care. Her speed and thieving abilities are impressive, but psyching herself up as such can sometimes get her in over her head. Outspoken to an almost exaggerated degree, she could probably make almost anyone annoyed without even trying. Typically though, she just wants attention.
Her cockiness is most likely rooted in her pride of Wutai, her hometown. As part of the newest generation in a legacy of warriors, Yuffie feels as if she can accomplish anything with her wushu and ninja abilities. Furthermore, since Wutai had been demoted to a tourist attraction during her childhood, Yuffie wants to do all she can to restore Wutai to its former glory. In her eyes, if she can steal as much materia as possible, Wutai will be able to earn back its honor. Thus began Yuffie's materia obsession (though this obsession has seemingly permeated into Yuffie's personality, in the name of Wutai or not).
As one of the younger members of Avalanche, Yuffie epitomizes the naive and narrow-sighted. She doesn't always grasp the gravity of a situation, nor does she always understand the unspoken reasoning of others (i.e. she didn't understand why Cloud had to fight Sephiroth by himself during Advent Children while everyone else did). Focusing extensively on one goal, Yuffie usually accomplishes the task at hand but sometimes misses other things because she's so intensively focused.
Most of time, Yuffie acts like a selfish brat, who is only out to accomplish her own ends. However, throughout the FFVII series, she has shown considerable growth in personality. She is beginning to genuinely care for others, especially as seen in Dirge of Cerberus, and even begins to give back to the community, training the next generation of children in the martial arts in Wutai.
Nonetheless, some things never change, and Yuffie wouldn't be Yuffie if she wasn't an energetic, materia-hunting ninja.
Strengths: As a ninja, Yuffie showcases extreme speed and cunning both inside and outside of battle. She has the ability to run up walls, seemingly defying gravity, and utilizes a giant shuriken as her main weapon, which always returns to her like a boomerang. Yuffie is also a talented thief and is able to hideout in the strangest places (ex. the roof). Mentally, Yuffie can be considered determined and somewhat optimistic, as she can always psyche herself up to a motive. Whenever she sets her eyes on a goal, she always goes for it, not even being deterred by Sephiroth during the final battles in the main game. With her zeal and ambition, almost nothing can stop this materia hunter.
Weaknesses: Despite being a ninja, Yuffie is a bit klutzy at times. She frequently falls through the roof whenever she hides out there, and she doesn't always accomplish everything according to plan. As one of the younger characters in Avalanche, she has a tendency to act more brashly and naively than the other members, often getting in way over her head. Overly confident and boastful, she frequently overlooks the small details of a situation in her ambitious rushes. On the same token, she can miss the big picture entirely when she becomes overly focused on one thing, such as materia hunting. In battle, Yuffie's strength and endurance, although above par for her age, is lacking compared to the stats of others. Her quirkiest physical weakness is motion sickness, an odd trait for a ninja who seems to defy gravity. Just a moment or two on Cid's airship or on a boat makes Yuffie queasy, sometimes to the point of puking.
History: Originally, the Japanese-influenced western nation of Wutai was considered a fiercely independent and respected nation. Led by Godo Kisaragi, Wutai was the last nation free of Shinra control and refused to submit to Midgar. This resulted in an all-out conflict between Wutai and Midgar known as the Wutai War. Wutai fought diligently but ultimately lost because Shinra held the upper hand in technology, resources, and popularity. Godo placed a ban on the use of materia to show his surrender, turning Wutai into a mere tourist destination.
However, Yuffie, Godo's daughter, was disgusted at what the once proud Wutai had become. Although she underwent training in the wushu arts, Yuffie became obsessed with materia, which her father had banned, as a means of regaining Wutai's honor. Disgusted at how her father didn't resist against Shinra anymore, Yuffie left into the world to take matters into her own hands as a materia thief/hunter.
In her travels, she meets the AVALANCHE party in a forest and joins them on their journey. When the group lands in the Wutai, she takes the opportunity to steal all their materia and runs off by herself back home. Although it is never verbalized, this is probably the original reason she joined AVALANCHE, but she eventually develops a friendliness towards them beyond the pursuit of materia. Unfortantely for Yuffie, the party pursued her all the way to Wutai. After being pursued all around town and being held hostage by Don Corneo, she gives Cloud and his friends back their materia and returns as a party member herself. She also climbs the 5-story pagoda and defeats her father, mending their broken relationship and highlighting where her energy and craftiness comes from.
For the rest of the main game, Yuffie's role is relatively minor, but she does actively contribute to the defeat of Sephiroth as a part of AVALANCHE. Afterwards, she returns home to Wutai a maturer warrior to help rebuild Wutai's honor. However, at the same time, Yuffie tries to keep all of AVALANCHE in contact, showing her new attachment to the gang.
Two years later during Advent Children, Yuffie comes back to help AVALANCHE defeat Bahamut Sin and get the missing Wutai children back. A year after that, Yuffie joins Reeve in the World Regenesis Organization (or WRO) in Dirge of Cerberus as espionage agent against Deepground. She helps Vincent and the other members of AVALANCHE stop Omega from destroying the planet and is last seen in Seventh Heaven, Tifa's bar, asking for an update from Cloud in their search for what happened to Vincent after they stopped Omega.
♠ Roleplaying Samples
First person: Today was so weird! I was on one of those super stealth, info-gathering missions for Reeve at Shinra Mansion and I ran into Vincent man he needs to return by calls. He was just lying there on the floor, and it looked like some crazy lady was about to kill him! Naturally, I had to come to the rescue, but apparently the crazy person already gave him a HUGE hole in his chest. It only got weirder after we got away 'cause that giant hole began to seal itself up! I gotta ask him what kind of weird medical insurance materia he has or something. I told Reeve about it, and he wanted me to let him know right away when he recovered. He's still out it's so weird to see him... not conscious... but it looks like his wounds are patching up pretty quickly. That's our Vincent! Never, ever down and out!
Third person: “Sneaky yet agile; clever yet talented; I am the great ninja, Yuffie Kisaragi!”
Or so the young girl would have announced if the situation permitted. Even she knew better than to shout when on an espionage mission.
Jumping over the wall surrounding Shinra Mansion, Yuffie quickly took refuge behind a fallen pillar. It didn’t seem like anyone was present, but in her line of work, it paid to be cautious. As one of the newer members of the World Regenesis Organization, Yuffie had been sent to Nibelheim on a top secret mission to gather information on the Underground. Her first target was the old Shinra Mansion, which indubitably still held secrets yet to be uncovered.
Staying in the shadows, Yuffie moved silently and swiftly toward a back entrance and let herself in. As she moved down the hallway, she heard battle sounds in the distance and swiftly moved in that direction. If anything was to be uncovered, it would probably be in observing a direct conflict from the shadows. People tended to talk a lot during battle and frequently spouted off relevant information once they neared victory. All she would have to do was listen in and leave before anyone knew she was there.
However, once she reached the main hall of the mansion, she drew back behind the stairs in shock. Vincent was lying on the floor, barely moving, and some crazy-looking lady was circling around him like a vulture eyeing her next meal. Yuffie took a deep breath and pulled out her giant shuriken. “I have to save Vincent before it’s too late!” she mentally told herself, setting a light trap on the projectile.
Once the red haired-- and rather unfashionable for that matter-- woman knelt down next to Vincent, her guard lowered, Yuffie dashed out from behind the stairs and launched her 4-pointed shuriken. Having noticed Yuffie as she was running out, the woman easily dodged the shuriken and launched her own counterattack against Yuffie. Fueled with adrenaline from her first serious fight in some time, Yuffie easily dodged the attack and made a break for Vincent. “Come on... don’t let me down now... YES!” she thought.
Almost as if on cue, her dodged shuriken flew back and planted itself next to the woman. As soon as the light trap went off, Yuffie picked up Vincent and carried him on her shoulders, dashing out of Shinra Mansion and away to safety.
“Mission accomplished. The White Rose of Wutai strikes again!”
