Saturday Lady Day: Tifa Lockhart

Every Saturday I feature ladies that have risen to the occasion with their extraordinary physical attributes. Of course, this basically means that I talk about women who have tickled my fancy, no matter the genre of geekery, be it video games, movies, anime, cartoons, etc etc.

Today's Geeky Alien Lady of the Week is Tifa Lockhart.

Tifa's Original FFVII Outfit in CG

A personal favorite, Tifa is definitely one of the most popular female video game characters to date. Seriously, someone who has been gaming for his/her entire life cannot not know about Tifa!

Favored for being more than just well-endowed, she packs a really mean set of punches. Which is all that I could ask for in a woman, really! Kidding aside, those who took the time to follow Final Fantasy VII would know that this lady plays a very crucial role in the protagonist's story without leaving herself in the shoes of a damsel in distress.

Tifa from Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children

Tifa is trained in the martial arts and equips weapons from the Final Fantasy Monk class such as gloves and claws. Her offensive skills involve a series of punches and kicks while her Limit Break is completely different from all the other character's in Final Fantasy VII. She gets a cool casino slot machine that dictates the type of attacks she will execute. How neat is that!

So, it is fairly easy to see why she has garnered so much attention and popularity. Though she may have advantages due to her brute power and high physical stats, her charm lies in the immense yet beautiful strength of her heart.

I would really love to know what you guys think of her because I did mention that she is a personal favorite. Also, if you guys are nice enough, maybe you could share or recommend someone I can give my opinion on? Just for fun!

Til next Saturday, live long and prosper! :)
