Character Prompts

Disclaimer: I don't own FF7 or, pretty much anything, unless you don't recognize it. I'm poor.

Summary: This is a challenge sort of thing from the "You know you're Obsessed with FF7 when..." Forum. 20 prompts, 20 characters. I'm meaning to have them around 500 words each. I'm leaving it so the reader can guess who it is.

I don't care what they all say about me. I helped. I was there. I haven't been a child since the war. I act the way I do because I have to. I am a theif and I am a princess. I did what I did for my country. They all think I'm some immature brat who doesn't care about anyone else but herself. They're wrong. I may be young but I've seen war. Our fearless leader hasn't. None of them have. I was there. I watched my people died. I watched them die and I was too young to do anything. The memory will be in my mind for the rest of my life. They can call me selfish all they want. I know why I did it, and that's all that matters.

I may be sixteen, but I still managed to outsmart all of them. I mean, come on. I met them and tried to steal their money and materia and they still trusted me. They should've seen it coming when we arrived at Wutai. I hadn't sworn that I would never still from them again. I wasn't that stupid. They just assumed. It's not my fault that they're so trusting. Now they yell at me and tell me that I betrayed their trust. That they can't forgive me for what I did.

I know better. If they were so trusting to take my word for it the first time, they'll forgive me again. This time I won't have to steal though. Shin-Ra is gone and I've got enough by myself to restore Wutai. My father is dying and soon I'm going to be the ruler of Wutai. They don't believe it because of how old I am. They think it's a mistake or something.

It doesn't matter if it's a mistake. I've been preparing to take over rule since my mother died. My father got sick when I was ten. I knew he would die soon. I just never suspected he would last this long. I'm glad he had. As much as it seems we don't get along, he is my father, after all. I still love him. I'm going to be made the Empress soon. My father has already announced it. I don't know if they're coming. I do hope they come, but part of me hopes they don't.

That way they won't be there to tell me I'm too young. I'll finally be able to show everyone what this ninja can do. No, what Wutai can do. I'll show them as Midgar and Shin-ra collapses, Wutai will blossom. Wutai will become what it used to be. Wutai will become a proud country again. An independant country. We will regain what Shin-ra stole from us. We will come out even better than before. Wutai will be like it should be. Like it was when I was a child.

I may be sixteen, but I'm the one who is going to be the one who is going to pull Wutai out of this rut it's in. I may be sixteen, but I haven't been a child since the war.
