BIOGRAPHY

It is my responsibility to alert you that I do not know much about Aerith Gainsborough's short life. Most of what I have gathered has been hear-say; neighbors who remember the young lady, a few notes from the organization known as TURKS.

Gainsborough was born February 7th, 1985. Her mother is listed as one Elmyra Gainsborough, though reports claim that she is the child of Professor Gast Faremis and his wife, Ifalna. The first few years of her life are riddled with holes and black tape- a sure sign that SHINRA tried to hide the truth.

Reason to believe Gainsborough suffered many experimentations and other indignities.

After escaping, Gainsborough went to live with one Elmyra Gainsborough. There is no possible connection between the two.

The Gainsboroughs lived in Midgar Sector Five. After a decade, Gainsborough was often seen on the top plate of Midgar, selling flowers. Her business did well.

Reason to believe she has ties to SOLDIER. Reason to believe she has ties with TURKS. Reason to believe she has ties to AVALANCHE.

According to her neighbors, Gainsborough left to travel with CLOUD STRIFE and company.

The young lady never returned. Rumors of her death circulate. Some say she died at the hands of SEPHIROTH. Some say she died at the hands of STRIFE.

Rumors are her remains are in a lost city.
