	Games - Yuffie Kisaragi

Yuffie Kisaragi (ユフィ・キサラギ Yufi Kisaragi) is a video game character from the PlayStation game Final Fantasy VII. She is a ninja and a thief, wielding an oversized shuriken. The manual for Final Fantasy VII states that she is 16 years old and 5'2" tall (157 cm). Yuffie also makes appearances as a hidden character in the PlayStation game Ehrgeiz, the CGI movie Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, the cellphone game Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII and the PlayStation 2 games Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII and the Kingdom Hearts series. She is voiced by Christy Carlson Romano (English) and Yumi Kakazu (Japanese).

Yuffie is one of two secret characters in Final Fantasy VII (the other one is Vincent Valentine), and is a materia hunter. She can be found in any forest after leaving the cave near Fort Condor. If the player defeats her in combat and then chooses a series of correct answers in dialogue with her, she will join the party. An incorrect answer causes her to steal some of your party's gil and flee. Yuffie is very spirited and mischievous and can be a smart alec at times. Though she calls herself a materia hunter, she is in fact a materia thief, albeit the reason behind her thieving is for a noble cause effected in a misguided way.

Yuffie wears an outfit that appears to be the traditional garb of Wutai; she is the daughter of Wutai's ruler, Godo. She and her father disagree over the continuous trend of turning Wutai into a tourist attraction. However, after proving herself by beating the bosses of Wutai's Five Story Pagoda, her father begins to understand the reasoning behind her position. Her tendency toward motion sickness serves as something of a running gag throughout the game, and is still present during the game's sequel in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Yuffie also steals away with the Party's materia on a side mission in Wutai, if the player visits Wutai before Meteor arrives. They try to get it back, but Yuffie keeps playing tricks on them and escaping. In the end, she gives the materia back after being saved from Don Corneo (although everyone's materia is out of place afterwards). At the end of disc one, it is possible to go on a date with either her, Aerith, Tifa or Barrett. At the date, however, Cloud ignores all of her advances, and gets smacked more than twice.

Dirge of Cerberus

Yuffie appears in Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII along with the rest of AVALANCHE. However, her role is larger than the rest of characters, as Square Enix has put a single profile for her on the official site along with Cait Sith (another AVALANCHE member), and Vincent (who is the main character of the story).

She works for Reeve's WRO, and handles intelligence. She aids Vincent many times throughout the game, as well as providing comic relief to counter balance Vincent's serious character.

Trivia

Due to the fact that Yuffie and Vincent Valentine
are optional characters, they are not featured in any FMVs, creating a plot hole in the ending sequence. Nomura stated in an interview, however, that Dirge of Cerberus would reveal a reason why these optional characters were not present.

Yuffie's original outfit for Final Fantasy VII was mainly red, not green. This would probably relate to the fact that the colour red is known as a 'celebrational' colour in Chinese culture, and seeing as there is an actual place in China called Wutai (mountains located in Shanxi), it is speculated that Yuffie's origin is a mixture of a place with both Chinese and Japanese influences. Yuffie's alternate costume in Ehrgeiz has this red motif.

Yuffie appears in Kingdom Hearts in the outfit originally designed for Rikku
, which explains the scarf, loose belt and shoes she wears. She also appears in Kingdom Hearts II in her Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children outfit, with the same pink ribbon on her shuriken featured in Dirge of Cerberus and Advent Children.
