Tifa has very dark hair, varying brown to black, which falls below her waist and is tied at the tip to form a dolphin-tail split. She has red eyes, an athletic build, and a slender body. Her attire is a sleeveless top that exposes her midriff, a miniskirt, and a white teardrop earring on her left ear. She is empathic, motherly, intuitive, reserved, and sometimes shy. While looking out for others, she rarely talks about her own feelings: when asked, she will either shut up or change the subject.
