World of Final Fantasy[]

WoFF Tifa
Who's Who
CV: Rachael Leigh Cook / Ayumi Ito
Age in Grymoire: 20
Notes: Aspiring martial artist / Seems cheerful and outgoing, but is actually quite shy / "Whoa! It finally worked!" / A cowgirl? Really?
She's There When You Need Her
Even though Tifa had never met Reynn and Lann, she still put herself in danger to rescue them. Call it heroic or call it reckless, Tifa just isn't the kind of woman to leave anyone stuck in a jam.
Tifa's Dream
Tifa makes ends meet as a guide in Babil, but hopes to one day save up enough to open her own restaurant. She'd be in seventh heaven if she ever made it happen.
Ready to Wrangle
Tifa's wearing her CRISIS CORE -FINAL FANTASY VII- outfit. However, she's the same age as she was in FINAL FANTASY VII.
A Childhood Friend
When Tifa ran into Cloud during the Cogna invasion, she was shocked to discover that he was the same Cloud she grew up with. But whether or not Cloud remembers her is anyone's guess.
The Mysterious Master
Tifa was badly hurt during a calamity that befell the village of Mist, which stood where Nibelheim does today. The man who would become her master just happened to be visiting the village and saved her life. Ever since, she's been his loyal student and disciple in the martial arts.
And clearly, he doesn't go easy on her. In fact, she now assumes that every horrible crisis she encounters must be some part of her master's training. Which makes you wonder what he's put her through...
Oh, and in case you're wondering... Sorry! Tifa's master will not be making an appearance this time.

Her title is "Summoner", and she can be fought after defeating "Guardian" Cloud.

Tifa's fighting style is Zangan-Ryu Martial Arts mixed with Ken's fighting style, known as Mishima-Style Fighting Karate.

Few of her Limit Breaks are used as her basic attacks.

Her unique ability is using her Materia magic, as she casts Fire and Ice to deal double damage and to heal her magic points by sacrificing few of her hit points by casting Drain. During charge, she can cast two spells similar to a Red Mage's Dualcast. Her win animation is her victory pose from Final Fantasy VII.
