Final Fantasy VII
Template:Sideicon
In her first appearance in Final Fantasy VII, Yuffie wields the 4-Point Shuriken in her confrontation against the player's party as the Mystery Ninja.
A long-range throwing weapon that returns to its wielder, the shuriken's design resembles a cross, possessing four extended points that are fused together at the center. Capable of Materia allocation, the weapon possesses slots for such baubles along its central length below the sharp points. Iconic to Yuffie, the large shuriken has appeared as her weapon in several games and movies in the series.
Following her joining the party the 4-Point Shuriken serves as her initial first level weapon, to be replaced by higher level weapons bought in shops throughout the game's progression.
