Storyline:
----------
Aeris is a flowergirl in the Midgar Slums. She lives with her adoptive mother, Elmyra Gainsborough. Her real mother, Ifalna, was the last surviving Ancient of the planet. She left her daughter the White Materia, which Aeris doesn't know how to use for a long time. Her father is Professor Gast, who found Ifalna in Icicle Inn.

Hojo had Professor Gast shot and Elmyra and Aeris taken to the Shinra HQ. It was seven years later they escaped, but they didn't get far. At the train station of sector 5, where Elmyra was waiting for her man to return from the war with Wutai. Instead she found Aeris and her wounded mother.

Five years before the start of the game, Aeris meets Zack and they fall in love with each other. It is unknown how long they've dated, but it was a quite serious relationship.

In Midgar, Aeris is often pursued by the Turks. One day, Cloud crashed down the roof of the church, and helps Aeris escape. This gets the two involved in the adventure you know as Final Fantasy 7.
