Cloud and Tifa grew up together in Nibelheim. Tifa was popular among the boys, but when they started noticing her as a potential partner in life, she began pulling away. Cloud was the only one who didn't treat her differently due to his shyness, causing her to develop an admiration for him which later on evolved into love. When Cloud told her of his plans to leave and join SOLDIER, she made him promise to protect her if she was ever trapped or in trouble. - #FinalFantasyVII #Cloud #Tifa
