Aeris Gainsborough (also known as Aerith) is a main character from the hugely (over?)popular Playstation 1 hit: Final Fantasy VII. When she is first introduced as a flower seller she appears naive and innocent, but it is revealed over the course of the game that her character is more mysterious and that her role as the last remaining 'Cetra' causes her loneliness and confusion.
Over the course of her time in the game, Aeris falls in love with the protagonist, Cloud, and it is strongly implied that he is attracted to her, causing a love triangle to grow between them and a third character, Tifa, also Aeris' best friend during the course of the game.
Aeris' "last of her kind" role eventually leads her to her death at the hands of antagonist Sephiroth, as she is the only one who could accomplish her goal, although is is heavily implied in short story "The Maiden" included in the Final Fantasy VII Ultimania, that she would have preferred to stay with Cloud rather than take this extra burden. Her death was unexpected, rued, and the subject of many false ressurection rumours. The game implies that after her death, it is Aeris who eventually plays the pivitol role in the Planet's salvation from beyond the grave. She appears to reprise this particular role in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, a film sequel to the original game.
It is a common misconception that Aeris' Japanese name is "Aerith", when in fact the literal romanisation of her name would be "Earisu", pronounced "Aeris", and both "Aeris" and "Aerith" being valid English translations.
In battle, Aeris is best suited to a supportive role, with her low physical strength but high magic power; her limit breaks are also supportive in nature, which reflects her character.
Aeris also appears in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis, Final Fantasy Tactics and Square-Enix/Disney collaboration Kingdom Hearts.

Get the Aeris mug.(air-in) If you have this name you are probably really kind and sometimes get your name mispronounced by idiots who can't read. Aerin is probably afraid of bugs and prefers to stay inside. They should also be very successful at getting a job. They're not good at communicating thoughts very well and have a few close friends, yet is friendly with all. Aerin although has a few admirers has trouble when trying to understand love.
Aerin: 'There's a girl over there by herself. Should I talk to her.... I want to but I don't know what to say...'
Girl: -gets up and walks out of the classroom-
Aerin: 'Aw whatever nevermind'
Girl: -gets up and walks out of the classroom-
Aerin: 'Aw whatever nevermind'

Get the Aerin mug.The most prettiest, hottest, beautiful girl on this planet. Aeri's typically do not seem intelligent, but know more thank you think. They are typically very talented and outgoing. Aeri's are often envied by women, so they have to be careful. Aeri's are kind and loving people who brighten up the room everyday!

Get the Aleri mug.Aeriel is someone who is strong willed and severely independent. She is protective over herself and defends what she loves fiercely. She’s stunningly beautiful and if you cross her you will regret it. She is very gifted and generous. She is also incredibly loving once you get to know her.

Get the aerial booty call mug.The "aerial screw" is a sexual position first created by Leonardo DaVinci in the early 1480s whereby the consenting parties pleasure one-another while in a free fall state with both individuals reaching climax prior to their contact with the ground. Attempts to successfully complete the "aerial screw" are said to be the primary drive behind all of the avionic achievements of the 20th century - up to and including the space shuttle. The aerial screw is frequently, and incorrectly defined as a crude flying machine designed by DaVinci; though recently discovered documents have revealed that this apparatus was simply an attempt to reach a sufficient altitude to attempt the sexual act. With the advent of the US space program in the 1950s, the aerial screw has become of increasing interest to NASA and was the primary drive behind coed shuttle missions in the 1980s.
