First Person Pronoun: アタシ [Atashi]
Voice Actor: AC, DC - Yumi Kakazu

A young girl born in Wutai. Skilled as one of those called "Ninja", she freely uses a unique type of martial arts. In order to revive her hometown, which had lost its vigor/spirit after having lost in the war with ShinRa, she rushed out of Wutai in a bid to collect Materia, the source of energy. Her tenacity towards money and goods are stronger than anyone else, and she has caused trouble on many an occasion by taking action without reflecting on her surroundings.

The energetic, tomboyish girl who scours the world seeking out Materia.

Age: 16

She fixed her eyes upon the materia from Cloud's party during the midst of her journey as a Materia Hunter, and accompanied them half coercively. She has displayed selfish and impudent speech, as well as behavior, to the party on countless occasions. Although her initial objective was only to steal their materia, be it due to the course of events or a change in her mindset, she eventually traveled with Cloud's party in order to save the planet from Meteor.

Self-centered without fear of anything. Even with people whom she's meeting for the first time, her own pace will not be thrown off (destroyed).

「 You're scared of my strength aren't you!! 」

Successfully stealing her companions' Materia and fleeing to her hometown, she was caught by the women-liking Corneo. Although it was a misfortune, she reaped what she sowed?

Yuffie, who thinks that power is necessary for the restoration of Wutai, showers her father Godo, who only sleeps and takes no action, with words of criticism.

「 That's all there is after losing once in the war? Whatever happened to the strong Wutai? 」

Trivia 1

The Five Mighty Gods of Wutai (aka the Wusheng).

In Yuffie's hometown, five veterans who had the capability to surpass the rest existed, and they were called the "Five Mighty Gods". And standing at their summit is Yuffie's father, Godo. After Yuffie had defeated Godo, whom she challenged in the Pagoda of the five Mighty Gods during FFVII, she was by right in a position to assume control over the five Mighty Gods, but during her absence as she continued with her journey, it was concluded that Godo would stand in her stead.

[FFVII] It would seem that prior to her undertaking the trials, she didn't know that her father was Wutai's strongest martial arts/wushu exponent.

[DC] In DC, you can hear word that the DG SOLDIERs who attacked Wutai were engaged in difficult fighting against the five Mighty Gods.

「 Things like Materia . . . . . . things like Materia . . . I do want them afterall!!
　 Be it this or that, they're all mine! I sure won't give them to someone like you! 」

Limit Break

All Creation

After setting up the weapon to break the seal, she focuses her spirit.

Before the eyes of the concentrating Yuffie, a large mass of spirit which glows violet, appears.

After the spirit energy has formed up sufficiently, it is directed towards the enemy. The released spirit becomes an obi [translator's note: an 'obi' in Japanese terms refers to a sash, so it's describing the shape XD] of light and shoots towards the enemy group, engulfing them.

My comrades' pinch is the Materia's pinch,
Whoever turns their hands towards them shall only face punishment.

Age: 18

After the Meteor disaster, she entrusted the materia that she had received from her comrades to Cloud and returned home. Although she was investigating the incident of missing children in Wutai, after hearing of Bahamut SHIN's attack on Edge, she endured her motion sickness to rush over there in the Sierra. The first words out of her mouth were those of concern for the Materia, which probably means that her attachment towards Materia hasn't disappeared.

「 Alright, who's been touchin' my materia?! 」

Although she hastened towards her friends in crisis, is her anger, which stems from the unforgivable act of the materia she had left behind being used selfishly, greater?

Compilation Check

The motion sickness which could not be overcome even after many years.

Yuffie, who always follows her own pace and is unaffected by frightening things, quiets down whenever she rides on things like airships. Because, she's weak at riding on vehicles, and her condition would deteriorate all at once. Aboard a cargo ship in FFVII, she demands for a sedative/painkiller to stop the motion sickness, and tends to end up completely exhausted in Highwind's passage throughout. Similar to the old times, she's still tormented by her motion sickness even in AC and DC.

[FFVII] Although she was unable to have her way even with conversation whilst in the Airship, she managed to find a kindred spirit in fellow motion sickness buddy, Cloud.

[DC] In an aisle aboard the Sierra/Shera. Although she said that it was harder for her to get sick compared to last time, that doesn't seem to be the case・・・・・

Found out about the existence of Materia,
Obtained the hint to restoring her hometown.

Age: 11

In order to lay a surprise for the old AVALANCHE which remained in her hometown, she snuck into their hideout. On that occasion, she learned about the existence of the source of power, "Materia", from a Turk whom she had unexpectedly encountered and came up with the firm resolve to "accumulate Materia and regain power for her hometown".

「 Tee hee hee. Materia eh ・・・・・・ I just heard of something good ♪ 」

She requested Materia as a reward for guiding through the secret passage, so it appears that she has had a cunning personality since childhood.

She displayed interest in the Materia which the Turks had. This scene can also be called the birth of "Materia Hunter Yuffie".

Although she could share her feelings with one of the Turks, her demeanor changed completely upon finding out that the person was part of ShinRa. Her rage towards ShinRa erupted.

「 You people are from ShinRa right! You tricked me didn't you!? 」

Her specialty as a Ninja, is exhibited at long last?
Cooperating with the WRO as an intelligence operative.

Age: 19

She cooperated with the director of the WRO, Reeve, carrying out investigation efforts in various parts of the world. Making use of her unique Ninja attributes, in addition to rescuing the fallen Vincent from ShinRa Manor, she acted as the advance party during the general assault on Midgar and was also involved in various activities related to incidents surrounding DG.

「 The single blossom of Wutai ・・・・・・ Yuffie Kisaragi!! 」

Appeals to fanfare the time she appears. However, she falls down in the process and is readily ignored, failing at her attempt to be cool.

Once placing Materia as her top priority, she now appears to be acting voluntarily for the sake of her friends.

「 Me saving Vincent, how's that? Do I get any thanks? 」

Compilation Check

The approach of Meteor.
Where was Yuffie then?

During the ending of FFVII, both Yuffie and Vincent were absent from sight. Where were they during that time --- The key to answering such questions lies in the opening of DC. As Meteor drew within closer proximity of Midgar, the two of them were directing the evacuation of the city (P. 134). Thanks to the activities of Yuffie and the rest, an unexpected character managed to escape death ......
(P. 90). (Editor's note: They're referring to Rufus ShinRa...)

[DC] Yuffie, who's dishing out instructions at the actual scene. Rather than being involved with Materia, she's focusing her actions on keeping a watchful eye out on the area.

Translator's Note:
In regards to confusion cropping up in regards to Yuffie and Vincent's place during the final fight with Sephiroth, here are translations from the DC and FFVII Plot Synopsis of the Compilation Ultimania. The Compilation Check that explains Yuffie's presence in Midgar, only applies during the ENDING of FFVII. Not the final battle.

Dirge of Cerberus Plot Synopsis; page 134, scene 1, first sentence

After having defeated Sephiroth with their companions, while waiting for the Planet's Judgment, Vincent and Yuffie left the company [i.e. of Cloud and the others] to make an effort to rescue the people of Midgar.

Final Fantasy VII Plot Synopsis; page 118, scene 86

In the depths of the Great Cave, they [i.e. Cloud and the group] walked into the Planet's Body in a line on foot, therefore pure radiance - Holy's radiance, could be seen. However, that radiance was stopped by Sephiroth's sheer force of will.

The little kid who protects the hometown,
Self-proclaims that she's the "Strongest Warrior".

Encountered Zack who had turned up at Wutai on a mission. She boldly challenged the SOLDIER from her hated ShinRa, planning to drive him away using the 'wushu' which she was good at. Even after that, she was showing off to Zack with her audacious behavior.

Seizing the treasure which Zack had found without delay! The bad habit of snatching people's money and goods was already imbued in her?
