First-Person Pronoun ___Watashi (Kanji)
A young female leader who oversees the anti-Shinra group Avalanche. She’s compassionate with her comrades and deeply trusted by her subordinates. In addition to possessing top-notch sword skills, she’s protected by a special barrier from all manner of attacks, and is powerful enough to parry a slash from the likes of Sephiroth. She was taken in and raised by Avalanche early in her childhood, and has no memory of her past before that point.
[Image caption:] Elfe asks Sephiroth the reason he fights. Her poignant words shake Sephiroth to his core, for although people call him a hero, he’s still no more than Shinra’s pawn.
[Image caption:] Aerith, who can hear the voices of the planet, senses a yearning voice within Elfe. What is the nature of Elfe’s relationship with the planet?
[Image caption:] After losing her memories, Elfe wandered about until Avalanche took her under its wing and raised her. One of the reasons she fights is to repay her debt to the organization that saved her.
Compilation Check The Origin and Evolution of What Used to be Avalanche The Avalanche that Elfe leads in Before Crisis (the “old” Avalanche) was originally formed by planetologists who opposed the use of mako. Later on, its ranks were swelled by numerous people who bore grudges against Shinra. It gradually transformed into a massive organization that engaged in operations as radical as kidnapping and assassinating high-profile targets. With its slogan of “Judgment upon Shinra,” Avalanche focused its activity in cities like Midgar and Junon.
[Image caption:] Though not a senior member of the group, Elfe was bestowed the role of leader due to her natural talent and charisma.

A disciple of the planetologists who formed Avalanche, he’s a famous planetologist in his own right and will go to any lengths necessary to defend the life of the planet.
[Image caption:] In contrast to his mild-mannered speech, his ideology is as radical as it gets. He puppeteers his Ravens, making secret maneuvers to balance the scales by taking Shinra lives in exchange for the planet’s.
