Aerith Gainsborough Dissidia Moveset Profile

Aerith Gainsborough Dissidia Moveset Profile

Bio:

Aerith is the last of the Cetra, a being who holds a deep connection with the Earth and able to hear its “voice”. Because of this, the Shinra Electric Power Company has hunted her down all of her life to use her and experiment on her. She only barely managed to escape them once before, and that was at the cost of her mother, the last full-blodded Cetra. When she meets Cloud in the Midgar slums, her destiny becomes clear. She plays a pivotal role in stopping Sephiroth, even after her death by his hands.

Fighting Style: Planet's Guardian

Aerith’s movelist mostly consists of ways to boost her Brave and protect herself. She only has one offensive move under both Brave and HP categories. However, where she really shines is in her ability to boost her Assist Bar freely allowing her to call her Assist in to attack for her.

Outfits:

Default - Aerith’s most iconic outfit - A dark, red blazer, a pink, button-down dress, metal bracelets, brown boots, a neck ribbon, and a pink ribbon in her hair. (Based on her outfit in the original FFVII)

Alternate 1 – Cetra’s Grace – Aerith wears a pink bandeau dress with silver linings and a split along the front, a cropped, shoulder-less jacket with puffed sleeves, as well as pink and silver pointed high-heeled boots. Her hair ribbon is pink with blue-green polka dots, and is a different shape and knot from the ribbons in previous outfits. (Based on her Amano artwork)

Alternate 2 – Flower in the Slums – Aerith wears a blue and white thigh-length dress over a red camisole, and white wedge sandals with pink straps. The dress is adorned by blue lace bows at the bust and waist, while a small corsage of flowers lines the left shoulder strap. Her hair ribbon is the same shape as her original ribbon, but is a more reddish hue of pink. (Based on her outfit in Crisis Core)

DLC Alternate - Bloom in a Radiant Garden - Aerith wears a red and white sleeveless, button-up sundress over a pink skirt with a white underskirt, and brown boots. (Based on her appearance in Kingdom Hearts 2)
