Tifa
1. In my head, her fighting style is more closely related to Muay Thai than any particular Japanese or continental style.
2. She takes her tea and coffee with milk rather than cream, always has.
3. She had top marks in penmanship back in elementary. Her cursive is as gorgeous a thing as her raspberry rhubarb pie.
Aeris
1. Sings lullabyes and folksongs to her flowers.
2. Coaxed Cure3 out of the party's only decent Restore materia weeks before anyone else.
3. Always wins at Tic Tac Toe, much to Yuffie's chagrin and Red's amusement.
Shera
1. Dual-majored in aerodynamics and physics--making her the Planet's closest equivalent to an astrophysicist--but is actually better as a machinist.
2. You know how some people claim to have gaydar and some programmers claim to have a "perl sense"? Shera has a "shit's wrong with your engine" radar--generally activated by engine sound.
3. She bird watched with her father when she was a little girl.
Junon
1. In the winters, around nine in the evening (and four in the morning), the air temperature drops below the ocean's, and a thick, greasy fog that smells kind of like engine grease and kind of like salty pork rolls through both parts of the city.
2. All of Rufus Shinra's public appearances in Junon had to be specifically planned around the weather--the Turks could not tell you how many times Rufus sat around smoking, internally thanking his lucky stars
3. Junon is the only city I can think of that actually has decent radio stations--Nibelheim's sucked, Rocket Town only has a weather station, Gongaga has an hourly "jungle frog report," Midgar's was dominated by consumerist pop, Kalm and Mideel both play soft rock/pop from fifteen years ago...
Yuffie and Red
1. They'll both tell you the story of how Yuffie really did braid Red's mane, once. Left beads in it and everything. (No ribbons.) Of course, it's not like either of them tells the same story about it.
2. But they'll never tell you about staying up late the nights after Aeris died, drinking evaporated milk and talking about anything and everything until the sun rose or one of them fell asleep, whichever came first.
3. (Only Red ever tells the story of that time he chased Yuffie through the hills of Cosmo Canyon, laughing and mock growling the entire way down. She tripped and rolled and skinned both knees and came up laughing her crazy head off. Naturally, he leaves out the laughter just to tease her.)
Yuffie x Tifa
1. Tifa hates sheets--in fact, in her sleep, she acts like the reverse of a covers hog: she dumps all the sheets on her poor unfortunate partner. Yuffie only pretends to mind.
2. Usually, Yuffie fidgets too much to hold hands for long. But she threads her fingers through Tifa's for at least a few minutes every night just before she goes to sleep.
3. Yuffie and Tifa have a longstanding agreement: Yuffie is welcome to help Tifa wash the bar's dishes and glasses, is welcome to help Tifa stock the bar, and is welcome to bounce, but she does not, does not, does not fill in as a bartender even if Tifa is too sick to get out of bed.
