Okay, so this didn't happen, but just think how much more sweet the story would be if this were to occur.


Okay, so we have Jenova Cells, remnants of the great calamity that befell the Cetra. It acted like a virus, mutating the Cetra and creating more of itself, in a sense.

Okay, so, propose this. What if Jenova, the monster you fight so much, was actually the product of Jenova Cells put inside Ifalna, the last living Cetra. We see that Cloud has Jenova Cells put inside him, but he doesn't mutate, but rather, develops, like most homosapiens do, geostigma.

So, what if Ifalna was never killed but captured after Aerith's birth by Hojo and put under rigorous experiments with Jenova Cells?

This would relate to how the orphans, in the end of Advent Children, called Aerith "sister" or what I could only allude to them referring that the sister is Aerith. Kadaj and the silver haired trio all refer to Jenova as Mother, Cloud as Brother, and it would make sense. Aerith was in fact Ifalna's child, thus a sister of them, and then the orphans injected with Jenova Cells would refer to her as sister because they shared part of her (that is, the Jenova Cells came from the hybrid beast of Ifalna and Jenova Cells.)

Lofty theory, and probably not plausible, but still an interesting idea. I do think that if this were the case, the story would improve dramatically.


*man, where is Squall of Seed when I propose these crazy ideas*
