Aerith's name was never spoken in-game even though her name is written in the script. This is due to uncertainty during the game's development whether her name would be translated as "Aerith", or as the original translation "Aeris" that appeared in ''Final Fantasy VII''. The name "Aerith" would later be used in related releases of ''Final Fantasy VII'', making the original "Aeris" considered to be a mistranslated name. | Aerith's name was never spoken in-game even though her name is written in the script.

When Sora and the others return to Traverse Town, Aerith is with Leon as he trains in the Secret Waterway. She asks Sora to lock the worlds' Keyholes and directs him to Cid to ask about the [[Navi-G Piece]]s. Later, she joins Leon, Yuffie, and Cid in the Small House in the Third District, where they tell Sora about Maleficent and the fate of their homeworld. Aerith also tells him about the bell in the Second District, and she, Yuffie, and Cid advise him to investigate. | When Sora and the others return to Traverse Town, Aerith is with Leon as he trains in the Secret Waterway.

Aerith is a member of the [[Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee]]. She helps during the invasion of Hollow Bastion by healing Yuffie and presumably continues to aid other characters or fight against the Heartless. Aerith assisted Sora later in the game during his movement against the [[Master Control Program]] by downloading the deletion program while guarding the computer room. | Aerith is a member of the [[Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee]].

Her eyes are green and her hair is brown. Aerith's hair is long and styled into a braid down her back, with curls on either side of her face. Her bangs frame her face in a very similar manner to Sephiroth's own bangs (this is likely because at one point during the developing stages of ''Final Fantasy VII'', Aerith and Sephiroth were planned to be siblings). She also wears brown boots. | Her eyes are green and her hair is brown. Aerith's hair is long and styled into a braid down her back, with curls on either side of her face.

Her eyes and ribbon are much brighter, while her boots are a paler brown. Aerith now wears a carmine pink and white top held up by a string that wraps around her neck. Underneath this top, Aerith wears a double layer flare skirt. The top layer is light pink with a white stripe while the bottom layer is plain white. | ||
