Misuse. Cause and effect are in the wrong order. She was popular because she got an expanded role; the trope requires the expanded role to be because of the high popularity.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:A possibility. He makes it to the second-last chapter of the game, where he may or may not have been killed by the apparitions of fate.]]
* StepfordSmiler: Wedge might seem cheerful on the surface, but deep down he worries that he's TheLoad and isn't contributing anything worthwhile to the team.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:He gets carried away by the Whispers out of a window when he attempts to help the other members of Avalanche in Shinra HQ. It's unclear whether he survived or not.]]
* WideEyedIdealist: Despite Cloud’s protests otherwise, Wedge genuinely believes that Cloud is working with Avalanche on an altruistic basis to some degree, in contrast with the rest of the group acknowledging he’s only there because he’s being paid for it.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: He thinks he doesn't pull much weight like the others, considering himself to be TheLoad of the cell. It takes some convincing from Aerith to make him pull himself together. [[spoiler:He does, helping to evacuate Sector 7 by giving a DareToBeBadass speech to two Shinra guards blocking a gate. It's so convincing that [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight one of them defies orders and opens the gate]], letting the survivors through.]]

[[folder:Jessie Rasberry]]
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/EricaLindbeck (English), Satomi Moriya (Japanese)
[[quoteright:166:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7r_jessie.png]]
-> ''"You think he's a keeper?"''
A member of Avalanche, Jessie functions as the groups hacker and handles explosives in Barrett's.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: The fourth chapter of the game is focused on Jessie’s backstory.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Jessie's behavior in the 1997 game leaned towards that of a demure, introspective young woman. The remake contrasts this by portraying her as someone who's always brimming with cheerful, hyperactive energy. She shamelessly crushes on Cloud and also flirts with him aggressively, whereas in the original, she does nothing else besides making a few subtle advances towards him.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She quickly gains a crush on Cloud, and is very open about her interest in him. However, Cloud's own personal hang ups leave him to finding Jessie's advances more annoying then anything, and when she tries to hug or be playful with him, he gets annoyed.
* AscendedExtra: Barely a character in the original game. Jessie has a substantially larger role in the remake, complete with a brand new backstory and motivations. If it wasn't for her not being playable, she could easily come across as a main character.
* BarredFromTheAfterlife: As a practitioner of Planetology, Jessie's greatest fear is that [[spoiler:her father's soul, which she believes is trapped somewhere between his comatose body and the Lifestream, will eventually be sucked up into a mako reactor and destroyed.]]
* BerserkButton: Entering her house without permission if you're a man is one, and [[spoiler:telling other people about her dad's condition.]] Both Wedge and Biggs worry big time that Jessie's gonna beat the shit out of them if she finds out they told Cloud about that.
* BreastPlate: Jessie wears a form-fitting cuirass that emphasizes her bust.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Psych!" Usually follows her flirting with Cloud, highlighting that it's seemingly all a game to her, or so Wedge claims.
* CosmicPlaything: On top of all the crap in her life already and Shinra making her believe she's killed a countless number of people in their FalseFlagOperation, [[spoiler:the Arbiters of Fate specifically antagonize ''her'' for daring to go off the path of destiny. When Cloud is about to miss out on the Sector 5 bombing run, they attack the slums and then badly injure Jessie's leg to force Barret to suck up his pride and hire Cloud. And when she's recovered and has to prevent the Sector 7 plate fall, the Arbiters again go out of their way to near-directly cause her seeming death by her own grenade and then try to prevent Cloud and Tifa from reaching her in time to save her.]] Poor girl needs a break.
* DamselInDistress: Winds up getting trapped under some rubble thanks to the damage caused to the reactor by the Scorpion Sentinel. Happens again when [[spoiler:the Arbiters target her specifically so that her injured state forces Cloud to go on the mission he was otherwise just about to miss - and again when they cause her to get fatally injured in the battle for the plate support.]] Unfortunately for her, [[spoiler:that last incident seemingly kills her.]]
* DemolitionsExpert: She's the team's explosives specialist, creating bombs they use during their bombing runs.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:Not by Shinra forces or the plate drop like in the original, but what seems to be by the Arbiters of Fate detonating her own grenade right in front of her and being buried by rubble. She passes [[DiedInYourArmsTonight in Cloud's arms]], telling him and Tifa not to be sad over her death. Though the ending implies that she was SparedByTheAdaptation along with Biggs.]]
* EatingTheEyeCandy: She's very blatant about ogling Cloud. Biggs' reaction implies she does this often.
-->'''Biggs:''' ''[about Cloud]'' Real joy to work with though.\\
'''Jessie:''' Real joy to look at too.\\
'''Biggs:''' [[HereWeGoAgain Here we go...]]\\
'''Jessie:''' Looks are what people notice first!
* GadgeteerGenius: Makes the fake identities and bombs utilized by Avalanche.
* HandBehindHead: She puts her hand in her head in embarrassment while Barret is giving a LargeHam speech about the planet to an [[NotInThisForYourRevolution uncaring Cloud]] in the Mako Reactor 1 elevator, seemingly finding the whole thing an UncomfortableElevatorMoment.
* HiddenDepths: Before she joined AVALACHNE, she studied planetology, a form of science based around understanding the Lifestream and the planets nature.
* ICouldaBeenAContender: [[spoiler:Jessie was on the fast track to becoming an actress at the Gold Saucer, but when her father suffered his accident and went into a Mako induced coma, she was so distraught and wanted to help him that she dropped out to research a way to fix it. This lead her to being recruited by Barret]].
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Twofold. For one thing, as someone that was on the path to becoming a star actress at ''the'' biggest place for such a job, it's partly Jessie (and partly unforeseen circumstances) that causes the story to go wildly off-script enough for the Arbiters to get involved, even targeting her for it. For another, what does her in isn't bullets or being crushed by the plate fall - it's the Arbiters causing the bomb-maker's own grenade to ''detonate in her face.'']]
* ItsPersonal: In Chapter 4 it's revealed that [[spoiler:her father used to work at a reactor, and his severe mako poisoning is the reason Jessie joined Avalanche; quitting her job as an actress at the Gold Saucer to do so.]]
* MadBomber: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. She feels remorseful of the damage her bombs make during the first bombing mission and puts guilt upon herself, believing that it's her actions that caused that much destruction, not knowing that it's Shinra that authorized the reactor's complete demolition.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After Shinra self-destructs the Sector 1 mako reactor, Jessie is horrified and blames herself for the catastrophic devastation -- thinking her bomb was responsible. She spends the rest of the game feeling that she did something wrong and works to try and fix it.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Had no last name in the original.
* ShaggyDogStory: Her entire personal arc, mainly [[spoiler:trying to recover her father from his mako poisoning coma as well as reduce collateral in the Sector 5 bombing]], ultimately tumbles in on itself for reasons entirely out of her control and culminating in all of her hard work blowing up in her face. [[spoiler:Literally, thanks to the Arbiters.]]
* ShipTease: She displays a noticeable interest in Cloud, remarking to Biggs that he's easy on the eyes, frequently flirting with him throughout the bombing mission, and even asking him out of the blue what his [[ChildhoodFriendRomance relationship]] with Tifa is.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:In spite of the Arbiters of Fate's best attempts, it's implied that Jessie survived the Sector 7 plate drop along with Biggs, as her glove can be seen on the desk by Biggs' bed as he wakes at the end.]]
* TheTease: She's very flirtatious towards Cloud, [[FlirtingUnderFire even during a dangerous mission]]. However, Wedge warns Cloud that Jessie's affections may not be serious.
-->'''Jessie:''' ''[if spoken to while in the reactor core chamber]'' Aw, you're choosing me over the reactor? That's sweet, but I'll wait my turn. Go blow her mind.

* FamilyThemeNaming: She and her son's names sound pretty similar to one another.

* MythologyGag: She's basically an older Marle from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', having the same ponytail she did in that game.
* ShipperOnDeck: Seems to be a mild one for Tifa and Cloud, suggesting to him that he actually take the time to listen to Tifa instead of going through the motions. When she first meets him, she offers to lend an ear if he wants to talk, especially if it's about Tifa, and she advises he not do anything to hurt her.

Tifa's self-proclaimed boyfriend, Johnny is an annoyingly exuberant but perennially unlucky young man.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: He's head over heels for Tifa, even proclaiming that she's his girlfriend. She can only sigh in exasperation.
* AscendedExtra: In the original game, he was just a minor recurring [=NPC=] you could talk to in Sector 7, Wall Market, and Costa del Sol. Here, he's a lot more involved due to the AdaptationExpansion the game provides, especially during the Wall Market chapter which he accompanies Cloud for a good chunk of.
* BornUnlucky: Johnny suffers from humiliation after humiliation, with his only strokes of good luck being Tifa stopping Cloud from executing him and that Cloud is begrudgingly willing to help him.
* ButtMonkey: Johnny is routinely humiliated by just about every situation he finds himself in, but only loses heart when [[spoiler:he gets his butt kicked in the Corneo Colosseum]].
* TheExile: Invoked when Cloud -- who was about to behead Johnny for outing Jessie as a member of Avalanche to Shinra -- tells Johnny to leave Midgar and never return, on pain of death. Johnny, however, never gets around to doing so.
* FailedASpotCheck: Johnny is blissfully unaware that the man who threatened to kill him unless he left Midgar immediately is the same person he calls his "bro".
* FieryRedhead: Has bright reddish hair and a short temper to match.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Nobody really likes Johnny all that much, generally treating him with a mix of pity, condescension, and exasperation. Despite this, he seems to be under the impression that he and Cloud are best friends -- calling him "Bro" despite Cloud repeatedly telling him not to do so -- and that Tifa is his girlfriend.
* HopelessSuitor: He is in love with Tifa and utterly convinced she is his girlfriend, to her exasperation.
* {{Keet}}: Johnny is a cheerful, exuberant, and generally kind person, but he's so high-energy that he can frequently end up being... a bit much.
* LargeHam: His near-constantly loud, bombastic personality and over-the-top mannerisms are hard to ignore.
* TheLoad: He unintentionally makes every situation he gets into worse, starting with him outing Jessie as a member of Avalanche to a pair of Shinra guards.

A young intern at Shinra's Research and Development division, who works to undermine Shinra by developing materia.
----
* {{Cyborg}}: Beating the Hard Mode-exclusive BonusBoss in the VR simulator reveals that [[spoiler:Chadley is actually an android made to assist Hojo with his research. Unlike most examples, he yearns for his independence and collects battle data from Cloud in hopes of undoing the RestrainingBolt imposed on him]].
* DudeLooksLikeALady: If not for his distinctly male voice, it'd be pretty easy to mistake Chadley for a young teenage girl thanks to his effeminate facial features and hairstyle.
* HighClassGlass: He has a high tech monocle on his left eye.
* TheMole: He works for Shinra's R&D department, but supplies Cloud and Avalanche with materia he develops.
* OffscreenTeleportation: Chadley always manages to get from Sector to Sector ahead of Cloud and Avalanche.

* TheRival: He can usually be found bickering with Mireille Dudley, a supporter of the Angel of the Slums.
* UngratefulBastard: After Cloud and Aerith destroy a trap the Angel of the Slums set to have Damon put out of commission, he stiffs Cloud on his payment. Mireille picks his pocket and gives Cloud what he's owed.

* ButHeSoundsHandsome: The way Mireille talks about the Angel of the Slums and nonchalantly pickpockets Damon indicates that she's the Angel of the Slums.
* CoolOldLady: She may be an older woman, but she is [[spoiler:a master thief who can steal from just about anyone -- though she only targets those who can afford it]].
* FiveFingerDiscount: She picks Damon's pocket and gives his money to Cloud after the Shinra reporter stiffs him, quipping that it's not theft if someone's stealing what they're owed.
%%* JustLikeRobinHood: As the Angel of the Slums, she only steals from those who can afford or deserve it, like Don Corneo, and distributes the wealth to those who need it. Accordingly, she's infuriated and disgusted by her grandaughter's lack of altruism.
* PhantomThief: It's implied that she's the Guardian Angel of the Slums, [[spoiler:which she admits to being at the end of the "Tomboy Bandit" sidequest]].
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In the "Tomboy Bandit" sidequest she harshly berates her granddaughter for being selfish, arrogant, and picking fights she can't win.

* AffablyEvil: Never a malicious sort; he just does what he's told to do from the Don. Even though it costs women their lives, he's just in it for the paycheck and additional power.
* CoDragons: Sam forms the Trio with Andrea Rhodea and Madame M, vetting prospective candidates for Corneo's prospective brides.
* {{Courier}}: According to the game's Twitter page he owns a courier service called Sam's Delivery.
* {{Cowboy}}: He dresses in a Western fashion, though he handles chocobos rather than cows or horses.

* CoDragons: Madam M forms the Trio with Andrea Rhodea and Chocobo Sam, vetting prospective candidates for Corneo's prospective brides.
* {{Greed}}: The game's Twitter page states that she's only courteous towards wealthy clients, and only so far as they can afford her magnanimity.
* HairTriggerTemper: Despite her refined appearance she has a fiery temper and is prone to outbursts of seething rage when things don't go her way.
* HighClassCallGirl: She's styled after ''oiran'', sporting an elegant kimono adjusted to expose one shoulder and her cleavage, with the obi tied at the front.
* HappyEndingMassage: Parodied. She owns a hand-massage parlor, and in turn works for the lecherous mobster Don Corneo. The massage she gives Cloud is -- depending on the option purchased -- laden with innuendo.
* HiddenDepths: Far more perceptive than she lets on. Just from a hand massage to Cloud, she can read palms and tell what type of people they are. She knew that Cloud's not only a seasoned warrior, but a man who's cheated death which makes him the ideal horse to bet on for the underground Colosseum.
* KimonoFanservice: She wears an ornate black-and-gold kimono with the top partially open and the obi tied at the front, signifying that she is at least styled after an ''oiran''.

* CanonForeigner: Andrea was completely absent from the original ''Final Fantasy VII''.
* ChippendalesDancers: He performs as a dancer at his own nightclub/brothel, and rigorously trains his body and mind in search of perfection -- which going by the Theme Song Trailer he finds in Cloud.
* CoDragons: Andrea forms the Trio with Chocobo Sam and Madame M, vetting prospective candidates for Corneo's prospective brides. [[spoiler:While Madam M sponsors Aerith, Andrea takes a shine to Cloud and sponsors him.]]
* TheDandy: He is a flamboyant and effeminate man who believes that beauty transcends gender, and is quite happy to help Cloud get dolled up to infiltrate Corneo's mansion - even dancing flirtatiously with him in the Theme Song Trailer. According to the game's Twitter page, he takes his job as a performer very seriously and has rigorously honed his body and mind.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Like Leslie, he's got some sort of stake involved with getting rid of Don Corneo, but it's not explored all that well in episode 1.
* DubNameChange: A fairly rare modern example of a ''Final Fantasy'' character whose given name was changed in translation. He's called Aniyan Kunyan in Japanese, and Andrea Rhodea in English.
* GenderBlenderName: "Andrea" is a traditionally feminine name (except in Italy), complementing his ideals of gender non-conformity.

* EyesAlwaysShut: In his cameo appearance he's shown with his eyes always closed, or at least narrowed to slits, to the point where they appear to be designed that way.

* EarlyBirdCameo: She can be seen getting off the Sector 7 train at the beginning of Chapter 2 and roaming Sector 5's slums in Chapter 8, long before she becomes relevant to the plot in Chapter 14.

In ''Remake'', he becomes Avalanche's man on the inside, though he notes Barret's cell must not have gotten the memo, and helps cover their tracks as they infiltrate the Shinra headquarters.
* AuthorityInNameOnly: Despite being the mayor of the most advanced metropolis on the planet, his office is just another floor in Shinra's massive HQ, while he himself has been reduced to little more than a desk jockey.
* HiddenDepths: He may be an old man and a "glorified librarian," but he's also a skilled hacker capable of doctoring security footage.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: He aids Avalanche less out of concern for the planet and more out of anger and frustration at having had his political authority stripped away, relegating him to a mere record-keeper.

A SOLDIER First Class who was Aerith's first love interest.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In the original, Zack only really appeared during Cloud's AngstComa after the game's midway point. Here, he appears a quarter of the way through. [[note]]He technically was in Cloud's flashback told in Kalm, which happens a bit after the point where ''Remake'' ends, but in this flashback, Cloud still thinks he and Zack are the same person[[/note]]
* {{BFS}}: He preceded Cloud as the wielder of the Buster Sword, and is the one whose memories and dreams its description says Cloud inherited.
* LostLenore: He was Aerith's first boyfriend and she still hasn't completely gotten over him -- trying to indirectly asking Cloud if they'd met, and fondly reminiscing about him while chatting with Cloud in the Sector 6 playground.
* OneManArmy: Zack was a genuine SOLDIER First Class, [[spoiler:and in the new timeline created at the end of the game manages to wipe out the ''entire'' army of grunts Shinra sent to kill him and Cloud]].
* SparedByTheAdaptation: PlayedWith. [[spoiler:He originally died in the lead-up to ''[=FF7=]''[='=]s story, but the heroes removing the Arbiters of Fate in the first game's finale creates a new timeline where Zack survives his BolivianArmyEnding battle against Shinra's army, and completes his journey to Midgar alongside the mako poisoned Cloud.]]
* SuperSoldier: He was a member of SOLDIER's First Class rank, marking him as being a cut above lesser [=SOLDIERs=] like Roche.
* WalkingSpoiler: The fact Zack is referenced isn't a surprise, even if his name comes up much earlier than in the original's story. What is surprising is that [[spoiler:he ends up SparedByTheAdaptation, thanks to the CosmicRetcon caused in the finale]]. It's hard to talk about Zack's appearance in this game without mentioning that.

* AscendedExtra: Barely a character in the original game. Biggs has a substantially larger role in the remake with a far more complex personality.
* CrazyPrepared: He has multiple contingency plans formed in case a mission goes south. When Cloud, Barret and Tifa are forced to evacuate their train during the Sector 5 mission, they tell Cloud it's time for Biggs' "plan E" back-up.
* {{Expy}}: Of Chris Taylor in ''{{Film/Platoon}}'' played by Creator/CharlieSheen.
* HandCannon: Biggs' weapon of choice is a large-caliber handgun.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: As befits their names, Biggs and Wedge are practically married. Although Jessie makes this a trio, the two guys are particularly close.
* HiddenDepths: He heads up Sector 7's town watch in his spare time, [[spoiler:and used to run the Leaf House school in Sector 5]]. He also stops Wedge tagging along with Cloud and Tifa as the former is shown around Sector 7, reasoning that they haven’t seen each other in five years.
* TheLancer: To Barret, as he's the one in charge of operations when Barret's not around.
* NeatFreak: He's neat and tidy by nature. After the first reactor mission, he's disgusted by his own smell and makes [[BathingBeauty several comments about longing for a hot shower]].
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Bears a striking resemblance to Creator/CharlieSheen in the movie {{Film/Platoon}}.
* PlayfulHacker: He's very carefree when he's hacking the doors for the Mako Reactor.

----
* {{Acrofatic}}: While he may be overweight, he's more-than-capable of keeping up with the more-outwardly athletic Biggs and Jessie.
* {{Adorkable}}: He's sweet as a lollipop, but also really socially awkward, particularly while interacting with the more cool-headed Cloud.
* AscendedExtra: Barely a character in the original game. Wedge has a substantially larger role in the remake, with a far more complex personality.
* BigEater: Starts complaining about his hunger when he gets nervous.
* BigFun: He's overweight, but extremely jovial and friendly.
* ButtMonkey: He's the subject of several comical scenes, like getting his butt chomped on by a Guard Dog while acting as a distraction, having Biggs pull his pants down to take a look in the following scene, and Jessie slap his exposed butt while teasing him.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: As befits their names, Biggs and Wedge are practically married. Although Jessie makes this a trio, the two guys are particularly close.
* KindheartedCatLover: Wedge adores cats -- having three of them as pets, and is the gentlest and most optimistic member of Avalance -- even though he has self-esteem issues.
* NiceGuy: The nicest of the Avalanche trio. While Biggs and Jessie are certainly good, affable people themselves who have to be pragmatic, Wedge takes the cake for being the most sincere and kindhearted individual among them. He doesn't seem to carry a single malicious bone in his body. His friendly attitude ends up being a major reason Cloud changes his mind on the group and helps them out later.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:A possibility. He makes it to the second-last chapter of the game, where he may or may not have been killed by the apparitions of fate.]]
* StepfordSmiler: Wedge might seem cheerful on the surface, but deep down he worries that he's TheLoad and isn't contributing anything worthwhile to the team.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:He gets carried away by the Whispers out of a window when he attempts to help the other members of Avalanche in Shinra HQ. It's unclear whether he survived or not.]]
* WideEyedIdealist: Despite Cloud’s protests otherwise, Wedge genuinely believes that Cloud is working with Avalanche on an altruistic basis to some degree, in contrast with the rest of the group acknowledging he’s only there because he’s being paid for it.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: He thinks he doesn't pull much weight like the others, considering himself to be TheLoad of the cell. It takes some convincing from Aerith to make him pull himself together. [[spoiler:He does, helping to evacuate Sector 7 by giving a DareToBeBadass speech to two Shinra guards blocking a gate. It's so convincing that [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight one of them defies orders and opens the gate]], letting the survivors through.]]

-> ''"You think he's a keeper?"''
A member of Avalanche, Jessie functions as the groups hacker and handles explosives in Barrett's.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: The fourth chapter of the game is focused on Jessie’s backstory.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Jessie's behavior in the 1997 game leaned towards that of a demure, introspective young woman. The remake contrasts this by portraying her as someone who's always brimming with cheerful, hyperactive energy. She shamelessly crushes on Cloud and also flirts with him aggressively, whereas in the original, she does nothing else besides making a few subtle advances towards him.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She quickly gains a crush on Cloud, and is very open about her interest in him. However, Cloud's own personal hang ups leave him to finding Jessie's advances more annoying then anything, and when she tries to hug or be playful with him, he gets annoyed.
* AscendedExtra: Barely a character in the original game. Jessie has a substantially larger role in the remake, complete with a brand new backstory and motivations. If it wasn't for her not being playable, she could easily come across as a main character.
* BarredFromTheAfterlife: As a practitioner of Planetology, Jessie's greatest fear is that [[spoiler:her father's soul, which she believes is trapped somewhere between his comatose body and the Lifestream, will eventually be sucked up into a mako reactor and destroyed.]]
* BerserkButton: Entering her house without permission if you're a man is one, and [[spoiler:telling other people about her dad's condition.]] Both Wedge and Biggs worry big time that Jessie's gonna beat the shit out of them if she finds out they told Cloud about that.
* BreastPlate: Jessie wears a form-fitting cuirass that emphasizes her bust.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Psych!" Usually follows her flirting with Cloud, highlighting that it's seemingly all a game to her, or so Wedge claims.
* CosmicPlaything: On top of all the crap in her life already and Shinra making her believe she's killed a countless number of people in their FalseFlagOperation, [[spoiler:the Arbiters of Fate specifically antagonize ''her'' for daring to go off the path of destiny. When Cloud is about to miss out on the Sector 5 bombing run, they attack the slums and then badly injure Jessie's leg to force Barret to suck up his pride and hire Cloud. And when she's recovered and has to prevent the Sector 7 plate fall, the Arbiters again go out of their way to near-directly cause her seeming death by her own grenade and then try to prevent Cloud and Tifa from reaching her in time to save her.]] Poor girl needs a break.
* DamselInDistress: Winds up getting trapped under some rubble thanks to the damage caused to the reactor by the Scorpion Sentinel. Happens again when [[spoiler:the Arbiters target her specifically so that her injured state forces Cloud to go on the mission he was otherwise just about to miss - and again when they cause her to get fatally injured in the battle for the plate support.]] Unfortunately for her, [[spoiler:that last incident seemingly kills her.]]
* DemolitionsExpert: She's the team's explosives specialist, creating bombs they use during their bombing runs.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:Not by Shinra forces or the plate drop like in the original, but what seems to be by the Arbiters of Fate detonating her own grenade right in front of her and being buried by rubble. She passes [[DiedInYourArmsTonight in Cloud's arms]], telling him and Tifa not to be sad over her death. Though the ending implies that she was SparedByTheAdaptation along with Biggs.]]
* EatingTheEyeCandy: She's very blatant about ogling Cloud. Biggs' reaction implies she does this often.
-->'''Biggs:''' ''[about Cloud]'' Real joy to work with though.\\
'''Jessie:''' Real joy to look at too.\\

* GadgeteerGenius: Makes the fake identities and bombs utilized by Avalanche.
* HandBehindHead: She puts her hand in her head in embarrassment while Barret is giving a LargeHam speech about the planet to an [[NotInThisForYourRevolution uncaring Cloud]] in the Mako Reactor 1 elevator, seemingly finding the whole thing an UncomfortableElevatorMoment.
* HiddenDepths: Before she joined AVALACHNE, she studied planetology, a form of science based around understanding the Lifestream and the planets nature.
* ICouldaBeenAContender: [[spoiler:Jessie was on the fast track to becoming an actress at the Gold Saucer, but when her father suffered his accident and went into a Mako induced coma, she was so distraught and wanted to help him that she dropped out to research a way to fix it. This lead her to being recruited by Barret]].
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Twofold. For one thing, as someone that was on the path to becoming a star actress at ''the'' biggest place for such a job, it's partly Jessie (and partly unforeseen circumstances) that causes the story to go wildly off-script enough for the Arbiters to get involved, even targeting her for it. For another, what does her in isn't bullets or being crushed by the plate fall - it's the Arbiters causing the bomb-maker's own grenade to ''detonate in her face.'']]
* ItsPersonal: In Chapter 4 it's revealed that [[spoiler:her father used to work at a reactor, and his severe mako poisoning is the reason Jessie joined Avalanche; quitting her job as an actress at the Gold Saucer to do so.]]
* MadBomber: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. She feels remorseful of the damage her bombs make during the first bombing mission and puts guilt upon herself, believing that it's her actions that caused that much destruction, not knowing that it's Shinra that authorized the reactor's complete demolition.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After Shinra self-destructs the Sector 1 mako reactor, Jessie is horrified and blames herself for the catastrophic devastation -- thinking her bomb was responsible. She spends the rest of the game feeling that she did something wrong and works to try and fix it.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Had no last name in the original.
* ShaggyDogStory: Her entire personal arc, mainly [[spoiler:trying to recover her father from his mako poisoning coma as well as reduce collateral in the Sector 5 bombing]], ultimately tumbles in on itself for reasons entirely out of her control and culminating in all of her hard work blowing up in her face. [[spoiler:Literally, thanks to the Arbiters.]]
* ShipTease: She displays a noticeable interest in Cloud, remarking to Biggs that he's easy on the eyes, frequently flirting with him throughout the bombing mission, and even asking him out of the blue what his [[ChildhoodFriendRomance relationship]] with Tifa is.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:In spite of the Arbiters of Fate's best attempts, it's implied that Jessie survived the Sector 7 plate drop along with Biggs, as her glove can be seen on the desk by Biggs' bed as he wakes at the end.]]
* TheTease: She's very flirtatious towards Cloud, [[FlirtingUnderFire even during a dangerous mission]]. However, Wedge warns Cloud that Jessie's affections may not be serious.

* ShipperOnDeck: Seems to be a mild one for Tifa and Cloud, suggesting to him that he actually take the time to listen to Tifa instead of going through the motions.

Tifa's self-proclaimed boyfriend, Johnny is an annoyingly exuberant but perennially unlucky young man.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: He's head over heels for Tifa, even proclaiming that she's his girlfriend. She can only sigh in exasperation.
* AscendedExtra: In the original game, he was just a minor recurring [=NPC=] you could talk to in Sector 7, Wall Market, and Costa del Sol. Here, he's a lot more involved due to the AdaptationExpansion the game provides, especially during the Wall Market chapter which he accompanies Cloud for a good chunk of.
* BornUnlucky: Johnny suffers from humiliation after humiliation, with his only strokes of good luck being Tifa stopping Cloud from executing him and that Cloud is begrudgingly willing to help him.
* ButtMonkey: Johnny is routinely humiliated by just about every situation he finds himself in, but only loses heart when [[spoiler:he gets his butt kicked in the Corneo Colosseum]].
* TheExile: Invoked when Cloud -- who was about to behead Johnny for outing Jessie as a member of Avalanche to Shinra -- tells Johnny to leave Midgar and never return, on pain of death. Johnny, however, never gets around to doing so.
* FailedASpotCheck: Johnny is blissfully unaware that the man who threatened to kill him unless he left Midgar immediately is the same person he calls his "bro".
* FieryRedhead: Has bright reddish hair and a short temper to match.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Nobody really likes Johnny all that much, generally treating him with a mix of pity, condescension, and exasperation. Despite this, he seems to be under the impression that he and Cloud are best friends -- calling him "Bro" despite Cloud repeatedly telling him not to do so -- and that Tifa is his girlfriend.
* HopelessSuitor: He is in love with Tifa and utterly convinced she is his girlfriend, to her exasperation.
* {{Keet}}: Johnny is a cheerful, exuberant, and generally kind person, but he's so high-energy that he can frequently end up being... a bit much.
* LargeHam: His near-constantly loud, bombastic personality and over-the-top mannerisms are hard to ignore.

Unlike most examples, he yearns for his independence and collects battle data from Cloud in hopes of undoing the RestrainingBolt imposed on him]].

* HighClassCallGirl: She's styled after ''oiran'', sporting an elegant kimono adjusted to expose one shoulder and her cleavage, with the obi tied at the front.
* HappyEndingMassage: Parodied. She owns a hand-massage parlor, and in turn works for the lecherous mobster Don Corneo. The massage she gives Cloud is -- depending on the option purchased -- laden with innuendo.
* HiddenDepths: Far more perceptive than she lets on. Just from a hand massage to Cloud, she can read palms and tell what type of people they are. She knew that Cloud's not only a seasoned warrior, but a man who's cheated death which makes him the ideal horse to bet on for the underground Colosseum.
* KimonoFanservice: She wears an ornate black-and-gold kimono with the top partially open and the obi tied at the front, signifying that she is at least styled after an ''oiran''.

According to the game's Twitter page, he takes his job as a performer very seriously and has rigorously honed his body and mind.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Like Leslie, he's got some sort of stake involved with getting rid of Don Corneo, but it's not explored all that well in episode 1.
* DubNameChange: A fairly rare modern example of a ''Final Fantasy'' character whose given name was changed in translation. He's called Aniyan Kunyan in Japanese, and Andrea Rhodea in English.

* AuthorityInNameOnly: Despite being the mayor of the most advanced metropolis on the planet, his office is just another floor in Shinra's massive HQ, while he himself has been reduced to little more than a desk jockey.
* HiddenDepths: He may be an old man and a "glorified librarian," but he's also a skilled hacker capable of doctoring security footage.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: He aids Avalanche less out of concern for the planet and more out of anger and frustration at having had his political authority stripped away, relegating him to a mere record-keeper.

* {{BFS}}: He preceded Cloud as the wielder of the Buster Sword, and is the one whose memories and dreams its description says Cloud inherited.
* LostLenore: He was Aerith's first boyfriend and she still hasn't completely gotten over him -- trying to indirectly asking Cloud if they'd met, and fondly reminiscing about him while chatting with Cloud in the Sector 6 playground.
* OneManArmy: Zack was a genuine SOLDIER First Class, [[spoiler:and in the new timeline created at the end of the game manages to wipe out the ''entire'' army of grunts Shinra sent to kill him and Cloud]].
* SparedByTheAdaptation: PlayedWith. [[spoiler:He originally died in the lead-up to ''[=FF7=]''[='=]s story, but the heroes removing the Arbiters of Fate in the first game's finale creates a new timeline where Zack survives his BolivianArmyEnding battle against Shinra's army, and completes his journey to Midgar alongside the mako poisoned Cloud.]]
* SuperSoldier: He was a member of SOLDIER's First Class rank, marking him as being a cut above lesser [=SOLDIERs=] like Roche.
* WalkingSpoiler: The fact Zack is referenced isn't a surprise, even if his name comes up much earlier than in the original's story. What is surprising is that [[spoiler:he ends up SparedByTheAdaptation, thanks to the CosmicRetcon caused in the finale]]. It's hard to talk about Zack's appearance in this game without mentioning that.
