While Tifa shows an air of self-assurance, there are subtle moments that disclose her vulnerability. Her protectiveness over Cloud, her childhood years close friend, mean her deep concern for those she cares about. Her fierce loyalty and selflessness suggest an underlying demand for reciprocated love and support. Tifa's occasional snobbishness may originate from a need to protect herself from emotional hurt. By keeping a particular aloofness, she attempts to stay clear of vulnerability and dissatisfaction. To break down this barrier, approach her with real empathy and understanding. Show her that you value her intelligence, toughness, and the sensitive side that she may hesitate to disclose.
