Shera (Final Fantasy VII character)

Shera is a non-playable character in Final Fantasy VII. She is a scientist, who once helped out when the Shin-Ra planned the launch of the first rocket to outer space in Rocket Town.

However, when doing final checks before the launch, she notices a fault in the rocket, that she feels the need to fix. Then, right before launch, Cid discovers that she is down there and is faced with a hard choice: either launching the rocket and burning her up to a crisp, or aborting the launch, and failing in fulfilling his dream. Cid finally aborts the launch.

Shera, feeling that she owes Cid for saving her life, lives with him, and handles all his constant criticism, feeling that she deserved it.

In Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Cid has named his new Airship, the Shera, after her.
