Phira Tsounamaki-A young woman who serves Vincent, she also accompanies him in stopping the last of Shinra's soldiers.
this setting is during FF7: DoC timeline
One: Past Memories
"Vincent Valentine. Am I correct?" the 17 year old girl said confronting him. She had dark brown eyes and long blonde hair. Her eyes were dark just to look like they were black. Vincent was a turk whose duty was to be Lucrecia Crescent's bodyguard. "Yes. You must be the one that Hojo has sent over." Vincent answered. "Precisely. I am the last of the four humans created with the protosamples of Jenova cells. I am here to serve you as a weapon instructor also as an assistant." the girl finished informing him.
"Her name is Reta." Lucrecia came into the room. "She seems suitable don't you think?" she asked Vincent. Vincent turned away and looked at Reta. Reta just stared at him blankly. "She doesn't have any emotion..." Vincent spoke sadly. "Emotions would corrupt my system from the inside out. Hypothetically speaking-having these so called "emotions" would make me weak." Reta explained. "No. It's alright you are allowed to have emotions." Lucrecia said happily. "Besides, you look too robotic with that outfit on." she smiled. "Uh..." Reta looked at Lucrecia and gave her a surprised look on her face. "Oh come on now." Lucrecia smiled. "No-I'm fine." Reta said looking away. "This is the official outfit that me and my siblings wear. If they must wear it then I must too." she explained. "But you look sad in it." Vincent spoke. "...I do not look such." Reta refused. "I shall be fine in this attire." she finished.

"What the heck?" I thought as continued reading this book. "Reta is...!" I felt like my hurt was about to burst.
"Help him..."
"You must help me..."
"Phira." Vincent spoke softly as he approached the woman from behind. "!" I screamed and was about to fall backwards out of my chair until Vincent caught me. "Phira, we need to go now." he said. I made a face and I guessed he notice because Vincent gave me a sigh. "You alright?" he finally added. "Now you say something." I spat out as Vincent picked me up off my feet. "Vincent. Where to?" I questioned. "We are needed to meet up with Yuffie and the others." he said pulling me by the arm. "Oh give me a break!" I shouted as we left the room.

"Why are we outside again Dr. Crescent? It is my duty to perform some calculations on your thesis. I am not suppose to be out here without permission by Mr. Valentine." Reta spoke calmly. Lucrecia laughed cheerfully. "What is funny Dr. Crescent?" Reta asked now sounding angry. "Oh nothing. It's just you need to have some fun and go outside like a normal child would." she commented. Reta glared at her coldly, "I am not a child." "No I suppose not but you still haven't shown any new improvement with your emotions." Lucrecia said happily. "Your cheerfulness is giving me a headache Dr. Crescent. Cease this." Reta made a comment as the two spotted Vincent lying on the grass under a tree. "I see that Mr. Valentine is snoozing on the job." Reta said not trying to be funny.
"Well, at least your expression is improving. I see that you are finally wearing that dress I gave you." Lucrecia smiled as she held the picnic basket behind her back. "The attire I was wearing caused too much pressure against my body. I had to breathe." Reta said as she watched Vincent. "He looks like he's sleeping doesn't it?" Lucrecia asked her. "Sleeping. Yes. Though he really isn't." Reta said as Vincent opened one eye. "You know Mr. Valentine, someone could easily sneak up on you since you aren't doing your job." Reta spoke. "Uh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that-" Vincent sounded a bit worried. "No. It's okay." Reta said oddly. "You are being sympathetic." Lucrecia smiled. "I am not being what you all suppose is being "sympathetic"-I am being informative." Reta thought. "Reta how long have you been working here?" Vincent asked as he sat up. "Calculations would be that I have been awaken for about three weeks. In the process of computing data...!" Reta fell on her knees as her eyes went completely black. "Processing..."
"Jenova cells..."
"Emotions corrupting central system..."
"Must shut down..."
"Wake up!" Vincent shook the girl. "She's going to the server. Each one of the girls can do this but separately each have a certain duty. Reta, Les, Kitsu, Min are the four humans Hojo created to serve as a prototype with Jenova cells. Reta is the only defect out of the four. She is obtaining human like traits that could kill her but she resists it willingly." Lucrecia explained. "..." Reta's eyes changed back to normal and Vincent gave her a sad look. "What...is it?" Reta questioned. "You scared me." Vincent answered. "Scared you?" Reta turned to Lucrecia. "Why is everyone staring at me for? I am fine, I have just recieved information from my sisters. It is nothing important right now though I should leave." Reta spoke as she stood up. "Reta stay here." Lucrecia said handing her the picnic basket. "...? What am I suppose to do with this?" Reta looked confused. Lucrecia giggled making Reta give her a glare. "We are going to eat out here of course." she said.

"Vincent-what the hell?!" I shouted as Vincent pulled me over the motorcycle. "Let's go." he said as he started it. I gave him a sigh and held onto the handles as we went through the tunnel. "God. You interrupt me when I read and now you drag me into one of these missions." I complained. Vincent slapped his hand on my head. "I apologize." he said. "No, I was just ranting. I don't mind it at all-I mean...oh crap, I should say sorry." I said nervously. "You seem lively. Were you still researching?" Vincent asked as he kept his eyes on what was ahead of us. "Yeah. I was reading a few books but who was Reta? She seemed to be a bit isolated from the others." I said sadly. "Reta...was the only one left of the four sisters who were living during the years. She might be alive still...I don't know. Sinse thirty years have past, it is likely that her memories were transported into the fragments." Vincent spoke concerned. "You say that like it could be a bad thing..." I said as we continued through the end of the tunnel.
Arriving at the vacant buildings, Yuffie already had some soldiers going through to check if there were any survivors left. "So what's up?" I asked walking over to her. Vincent had already went on his own. "Hey, there were people who were involved with some mysterious explosion. The explosion caused big amounts of debris and now some people are still out there injured." Yuffie explained before she got on her cell phone. "What? Vincent! I checked that place-no one is up-What?!" she shouted as she scanned the building ahead of her. I watched her talk for a moment then snatched the scanner out of her hand. "Hey-" Yuffie got angry. I moved the scanner up into the air and on the monitor something was wrong. "There is still someone...shit, Vincent do you plan on going up there?" I shouted. Yuffie placed the phone on speaker. "Yes. Phira stay with the others. I don't want you to follow me." he said being blunt at the last sentence. "Uh, fine. You better get your ass back here or I'm going to get you myself." I got angry. "Phira, I'll be back." Vincent promised before he hung up.
"Vincent!! Damn it!" I shouted at the building. "You think he will come back?" I questioned Yuffie. "Yeah. Vincent is the one that is hard to kill." she laughed. I gave a sigh and watched the building. "Yuffie. We have gathered all the rest of the survivors. Though we are missing some doctors." a soldier approached Yuffie. "I can help. I can do something." I said turning to him. "Okay." The soldier escorted me over the helicopters and introduced me to the other soldiers and civilians. I grabbed a first-aid kit and went to a child who was bleeding from the legs and arm. "You are here to help us?" the little boy asked. "Yeah. I am here to help you all." I answered as I wiped the blood off with a cold cloth. The little boy flinched at the pain as I wrapped the bandage around his leg. "What's your name?" the boy asked me. "It's Phira." I answered as I finished his other leg. I then placed a band-aid on his arm. "Your name sound really familiar." the boy continued as I helped him stand.

Author's Note: I added in an extra oc for the past events in FF7: DoC, Reta but as some parts explain it is actually Phira either thinking it or reading the research.
