Bobby pins.
She was wearing a hat from the same company that made Indiana Jones his hat.
It was not actually her hat but her hair in the shape and colour of a hat. Teenagers do the craziest things.
...This reminds me of "Virtual Insanity."
His name is Jamiriquai, right?
She's got the drawstring on tight.

Although probably not tight enough.

But that's as close to a realistic explanation as I think we'll find.
Her outfit is so practical to go leading people through dangerous mountain trails.
How does Mr. "No Admittance" see under that thing anyway? Why is it glowing? Does it serve any purpose?
How does Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell see through his glowing, eye covering hat?Quote:

I'm more curious how this guy can see:

The visor is so large, there's no leeway for vision and there's no openings?

BECAUSE PHYSICS :monster:
I thought it was for emphasis but I like the idea of her falling in slow motion, that makes me giggle so much.Quote:

I stick with the idea that she tied her hat on tight before confronting him. She did have to charge pretty quickly up those stairs.
Then again, the way she kind of hunches beforehand, her hat should have fallen at Sephiroth's feet. In fact, she kind of hunches before the slash so Sephiroth should have taken, like, half of her face off.
I'd like to point out that this entire line of speculation is based on the line after Cloud's flashback:
Now this is one of Cloud's memories that we can trust. It's unfortunate for the party that it corroborates Cloud's story, but...Quote:

"Cloud...how bad was I when Sephiroth cut me?"
Cloud
"I thought you were a goner...I was really sad."
Well...Quote:

But if it's the Masamune? I kinda get the feeling she would have been sliced clean in half...this is possible with a katana of sufficient caliber in real life, so if it's the Masamune? Yeah...Zangan's "Cure Spells" woulda been too little, too late.
Perhaps he merely cut the artery near her collar bone? That would be sufficient to incapacitate a teenage girl, and would cause sufficient blood loss to be a life-threatening injury. But she hunches forward, gripping her shoulder, and then a twinge of shock runs through her back, and she throws her head back and loses her footing. Seems legit...
I spend way too much time thinking about these stories.
I was about to say "Maybe he doesn't like hitting girls so held back?" but then I remembered... xD
She had martial arts training prior to that. Maybe she was attempting to jump back enough to get out of the instantly lethal range. Sephiroth probably knew that she wasn't instantaneously dead, just very close. However he didn't really care enough to go down there and finish her off.
And from what we see of her in VII and AC... she has no visible scars. There is no way a bunch of cure spells or a doctor could make her skin look perfect. Nobody would have fronted the money for plastic surgery and there's no way she could afford it on her own on a bartender's wages. This confirms it. She was a street walker. No wonder she knew how to dress for the Don. She probably been there before.
Someone posted fanart here once showing Tifa's scar, but yeah, it's not really shown anywhere and kind of devalues that scene. Can't have her being ugly though, I guess?
