abilities
planet commuication Aerith is able to communicate with the Planet and its life force. This means she can sense loss around the world (such as the death of loved ones), alongside being able to speak with nature and reach out to animals.
Materia As the most magically proficient character in the party, Aerith is incredibly good at using magic and materia. This includes elemental magic (such as fire, blizzard and lightning) and her specialty, healing magic.
Limit Breaks When Aerith has a limit break she is able to use defensive powers to help support and buff her party members. Healing Wind heals her friends, Fury Brand powers their limit breaks, and Planet Protector and Great Gospel make her allies invulnerable. She uses these powers by communicating with the Planet and asking for it to bless her friends.
Staffs and staves Aerith's primary weapon is the use of staffs or staves; while she is not as physically strong as her friends she is able to use this weapon to attack directly.
Lifestream manipulation In the Lifestream, Aerith was incredibly powerful. She was able to cast Holy, a white magic spell that can cleanse the planet of threats, and can command the Lifestream from her place within it. She can also protect the mind of her friends when they enter the Lifestream themselves.
background
Aerith was born to Ilfana (the last of the Ancients) and Professor Gast; when she was twenty days old her father was killed and she and her mother were captured by Professor Hojo. She and her mother were then the subject of numerous experiements at the hands of Hojo and Shinra until she and her mother eventually escaped. Her mother died and Aerith was adopted by Elmyra Gainsborough.

Aerith grew up with Elmyra, constantly under watch from the Turks, Shinra's hired group, who had tried to convince her to return to Shinra of her own will - which she refused each time. Growing up with no close friends, listening to the voice of the Planet and trying to hide her Ancient heritage.

Aerith ends up mixed up in the events of the game when Cloud falls through the roof of her Church - she works with him to save Tifa before embarking on their quest to help end the control of Shinra and then, once the truth of Sephiroth's plans come to light, protect the Planet from the essential apocalypse.
