History:

Young Aerith was born in Radiant Garden, her parents owned a inn called the Icicle Inn. Her father had been a soldier, a warrior, before and he was hunted down. The inn was set on fire. Aerith safely got out but her father and mother didn't. She was soon handed off and adopted by Elmyra Gainsborough, who would in turn be known as 'Mother' to Aerith because she had been too young when the fire happened. Elmyra, her mother, did a lot of gardening and as a young child Aerith often helped her mother, which in turn she became known as 'the flower girl'.

While working in the garden Aerith became chased by a dog, who was much stronger than her and seemed to want to eat her alive. Well, from little Aerith's perspective. A young boy happened to protect her from that vile beast; they've been best friends since. Always playing make believe missions. In these said scenarios young Aerith was always the damsel in distress. She didn't mind though for she got to make cookies and milk for her young hero (of course with help from her mother, as well as her hero's mother). Through out her childhood she had many friends but he would always be her hero. She also saw a young boy with spiky blond hair, who always seemed so down and choose to alienate himself from the rest of the children. Aerith had always wanted to go up to him and give him a flower but every chance she tried to, he would vanish from view.

Aerith often persuaded and helped her best friend through their teenage years. Aerith often played with the young children and watched over them. She often spent time alone while her best friend went into the training program to become a knight as he had played as a child. Would he truly become her hero? Her knight and shining armor? She often visited him at the academy, bringing flowers with her each time. She told him she would open a flower shop someday, to bring the happiness of flowers to the whole town. Upon one of her visits she encountered a blond haired guy, perhaps the same one she had seen in her childhood. She walked over and handed him a flower telling him that it would bring him good luck.

When Aerith was seventeen she opened a small flower shop (with her mother's help) and would often times be found there, but she would be sure to deliver flowers to her best friend in person. Often spending lunch time with him while he guarded the princess, yes the princess! Aerith was so happy for him, he was truly becoming a hero. Aerith continued to watch over the children of the town and would often times have storybook time. She was also thinking of becoming a teacher. Oh, and she also seemed to continue to be the damsel in distress.. with a few robberies, but nothing too bad.

Until she was nineteen... though pretty good with her botanology she happened to stumble across a mishap with a poisonous plant. And she made the dangerous choice of going alone to a secluded part outside of town. She happily smelled the plant, which looked like a lovely flower to sell in her store. It happened to inhale the potent poison and fell unconscious. She awoke in the hospital, a blonde haired man wearing a uniform similar to what the soldiers where her best friend trained at wore. He seemed relieved that she was okay. She was grateful for his help, for him rescuing her and coming along when he did. She thought she recognized him but he said they had never met...

They've been somewhat close since...though their friendship is still growing, like a flower. (She has kind of taken a fancy towards him, if you know what I mean. Also, though he denies it she believes that he was the man she had given a flower to and the same boy, all grown up now, that she had seen all alone as a young girl.)
