Barret is a tough guy with a soft heart, he adopted the girls when they had nowhere else to go. After losing her parents at Corel, he claimed Marlene as his own and moved to Midgar where they met Tifa, who was traumatized after surviving the destruction of Nibelheim. When Avalanche was formed, Barret and Tifa became the muscles, while Marlene stays at their hideout manning the 7th Heaven. - #FinalFantasyVII #Barret #Tifa #Marlene
