Template:FFVII Character "Cunning and sly, she may look like a common thief, but Yuffie is a very skilled ninja..."

Yuffie Kisaragi is a secret playable character in Final Fantasy VII. She is a Ninja and a Thief, wielding a fūma shuriken. She has a very cocky and rude personality, and at times can be aggressive and a bit of a tomboy. She also has an obsession with Materia. A recurring joke in the Compilation is Yuffie's tendency to get motion sickness. She is always seen doubled-over on every mode of transportation in nausea, be it boat, submarine, or Airship.

Appearance

Yuffie is very short, being only 5'2" tall and she is slim and petite as well. Her black hair is very short and except for in Dirge of Cerberus where her hair reaches down to her shoulders, it is always the same length. Her short somewhat boy-like haircut also gives her the look of a rebellious tomboy. Her eyes are fairly wide and very dark brown in Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus, although in her main concept images her eyes are colored purple. Her bust is very small, especially in contrast to Tifa Lockhart's breasts. Her heart-shaped face usually has a very cheeky grin on it, showing that she has very white teeth.

Story

Template:Spoilers

Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-

Yuffie makes a cameo in Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-, and encounters the player Turk in Wutai, where AVALANCHE has set up a stronghold in the pagoda. Pursued by AVALANCHE, Yuffie is saved by the player Turk and quickly starts scheming to steal their Materia. She follows the player Turk into the AVALANCHE base and steals the detonators for bombs that had been planted in the pagoda, and the player Turk must chase her and get it back. However, Yuffie accidentally presses the detonator switch, and she and the Turk must cooperate to escape. However, once they rendezvous with Tseng, she realizes the player Turk is with Shin-Ra and flees.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-

FFCCVII-Yuffie

Concept art of Yuffie in Crisis Core by Tetsuya Nomura.

Yuffie makes a cameo appearance when Zack invades Wutai. She describes herself as "Wutai's Strongest Warrior". Zack plays along with her antics and she runs off. After losing to Midgar, Wutai's ruling figure Godo Kisaragi, Yuffie's father, began to turn their home into a tourist attraction for outsiders. This did not suit Yuffie who eventually began running off, stealing Materia from unaware travelers. Later on in the game, when Zack is at Mako Reactor 5, he gets mail from someone named "Treasure Princess" looking for someone to help her steal treasure. It later turns out to be Yuffie using the information she received from a "blond man" to enlist Zack's help to find treasures (This blond man is speculated to either be Lazard Deusericus or Rufus Shinra in the Crisis Core Ultimania but neither is ever confirmed.) By the end of their working relationship, Yuffie manages to steal Zack's Bahamut Fury materia but returns it as she is unable to use it.

Final Fantasy VII

Yuffie Sketch

Artwork by Tetsuya Nomura.

Yuffie is one of two secret characters in Final Fantasy VII (the other being Vincent Valentine), and is a materia hunter. She can be found in any forest on the World Map after leaving the Mythril Mines at any point in the game. Yuffie's level will be adjusted depending upon the player's current level. If the player defeats her in combat and then chooses a series of correct answers in dialogue with her, she will join the party. An incorrect answer causes her to steal something and flee. She wears an outfit that appears to be the traditional garb of Wutai; she is the daughter of Wutai's ruler, Godo. She and her father disagree over the continuous trend of turning Wutai into a tourist attraction. However, after proving herself by beating the bosses of Wutai's Five Story Pagoda, her father begins to understand the reasoning behind her position. Her tendency toward motion sickness serves as something of a running gag throughout the game. Yuffie also runs away with the Party's materia on a side mission in Wutai. They try to get it back, but Yuffie keeps playing tricks on them and escaping. In the end, she gives the materia back after being saved from Don Corneo. At the end of disc one, it is possible to get Cloud to go on a date with either her, Aeris, Tifa, or Barret. At the date, however, Cloud ignores all of her movements toward him, and gets smacked more than twice. She is the only character to kiss Cloud in the date sequence.

Being an optional character, she was not included in the ending FMV of the game, though can still be used in the Final Dungeon at the Northern Crater and the Final Battle with Safer Sephiroth. This is remedied by the opening of Dirge of Cerberus, which shows her and Vincent at Midgar, evacuating the citizens and Shin-Ra personnel before Meteor hit. After placing an injured Rufus Shinra aboard a helicopter, Yuffie warns Vincent to be careful in his search of the Mako Cannon. She later saves him as the building collapses from a lightning strike.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Yuffie AC

Yuffie in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

All right, who's been touching my materia?

Yuffie in Advent Children

Yuffie makes a cameo in Advent Children along with all the other playable characters in the game. She arrives in Edge via Cid's airship (still showing signs of motion sickness after parachuting down). She helps the party to defeat Bahamut SIN, and brings Cloud's collection of Materia to the ruins of Midgar aboard the Shera.

During the bonus feature "Reminiscence of Final Fantasy VII," Yuffie sends a 'Closed for Business' sign to Barret through Strife Delivery Service as a way of getting Cloud to take a day off. She also seems to call Vincent Valentine in the time after Advent Children, because Vincent asks Cloud to relay a message to her, claiming that she has no right to call his phone.

Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-

YuffieCG

I am the champion of the earth and the sky. I am the conqueror of evil. The single white rose of Wutai...Yuffie Kisaragi!

Yuffie in Dirge of Cerberus

Being forced into joining the World Regenesis Organization, Yuffie is in charge of the espionage and intelligence gathering. She is the one who rescues Vincent from Rosso the Crimson in the Shin-Ra Mansion, where the bloodthirsty Tsviet was about to kill him, and takes him back to the WRO Headquarters. Onboard the Shera, she still carries her motion sickness with her, and leads the troops from the airships to the ground for the Battle of Midgar to shut down a generator inside the ShinRa building. Then she and Vincent go into DeepGround in attempt to kill Weiss but are stopped by Nero, who sucked Yuffie into Darkness and Vincent goes to save her, since Nero's darkness does not affect him. She and other AVALANCHE members aided Vincent in Omega Weapon's destruction and is seen last in Seventh Heaven, asking Tifa where Vincent is.

As a party member, she wields giant-sized shuriken which function like boomerangs. While she is below average on the main stats, she is very quick and has the best luck.

Yuffie's weapons have a few unique properties. One, the Rising Sun, has the highest attack of any Double Growth weapon. Another, the Oritsuru, has 90 attack strength with 8 Materia slots and normal growth, and is the strongest weapon with 8 Materia slots, excluding those with zero growth. Yuffie's ultimate weapon, the Conformer, does more damage the higher the level of the enemy, allowing it to do 9999 damage to many bosses.
