Aerith/Aeris Gainsborough, Final Fantasy VII And More

There are almost too many Final Fantasy characters to count, but one of the most popular figures in the series is Aerith Gainsborough. She makes her first appearance as the heroine of Final Fantasy VII, arguably the greatest and most influential FF title. [SPOILER ALERT!] Aerith rises from a being a simple flower girl to a mysterious young woman with powerful magic abilities. Her heroic sacrifice and death in FF7 is one of the most powerful and memorable scenes of the Final Fantasy series - or any other game, for that matter.
Pros: She's as pure-hearted and soulful as any hero, and she's got the outer beauty to match the inner beauty.
Cons: Well, she's dead, so that's a major obstacle. However, there are rumors that she will make a comeback.
Should be Played By: Mandy Moore and Mena Suvari have supplied voice acting for Aerith, but I think Jena Malone ("Donnie Darko") would be the perfect choice.
