Aerith was the last of the Cetra, a group of people closely attuned to the Planet.
A half-Cetra, she was the daughter of Professor Gast and Ifalna. The Shinra believed
she held the secret to the Cetra's Promised Land -- but Aerith also held the key
to saving the Planet from Sephiroth, for she was the only one capable of activating
the White Materia, summoning Holy to counter the effects of Meteor. Aerith died
while praying for Holy in the Forgotten City of the Ancients, by the blade of Sephiroth's
Masamune. Her death enraged Cloud, and continued to haunt him despite his defeat
of Sephiroth at the end of FFVII.
Aerith returned in Advent Children, assisting Cloud from the afterlife, reassuring
him of his guiltlessness in her death. She also provided the rain that healed the
Geostigma disease that had infected Cloud, Rufus and many children; and saved Cloud
after he was shot by Yazoo. She provided comfort in her departure, walking through
her church doors, framed by light.
