Cissnei

Who IS Cissnei, exactly? For a while, she is friendly and sweet. Then for a little while, she seems to be your enemy. Then your friend again...and THEN you find out that Cissnei isn't even her real name!!! So who is she really? Well, after much thinking and pondering, I've come up with a theory...she's Elena! It makes perfect sense! Elena wasn't in CC at all! Plus, you never learn her name...it's deductive reasoning. It's just a theory, but I'm stickin' to it. What do you think?

That's not so.

Cissnei and Elena are both in Before Crisis, at the same time. Cissnei's name is also 'Shuriken.' Elena's sister is in Before Crisis as well, and her name is 'Gun.'

So, yeah, sorry to spoil the theory.

Hmm, I don't think so. I heard that in Before Crisis, Cissnei was there as well, working for the Turks, and Elena was still in high school or something. So...that can't be possible.

Edit: Oops, ninja'd! xD

There is absolute no way she is Elena. Besides, Elena has blonde, short hair. Remember? Cissnei has red, wavy hair and considering both girls are in Before Crisis, I think that should make it obvious that Cissnei isn't Elena. The only things we know about Cissnei are that 'Cissnei' isn't her real name, that she was raised inside of Shinra. We don't even know if she has real parents or if she was a test tube baby. We do know that she had feelings for Zack as well. Cissnei was torn between her job as a Turk and her feelings for Zack, that's why she seemed like an enemy. Her heart gave in though and that's why she let Zack and Cloud go free.

Actually, her real name isn't Shuriken. It's whatever you decided to name her in Before Crisis, since you get to name all of the playable Turks yourself. And as previously mentioned, there is no way she can be Elena because they are both in BC and are obviously two competely different people.

Cissnei's job is to do whatever she is told, so that is why she becomes Zack's "enemy" at one point in the game. She cares for him a great deal though and risks her own job to save his life.

I thought I had this one. I totally forgot about Before Crisis! I didn't play it, so I wouldn't know. This whole compilation is screwing with my head! Okay, that theory is down the toilet, so now my question is this: Did you like Cissnei?

Also, Tifa, she couldve gotten her hair str8ened, cut, and colored. I'm gay, so I know

...well, not in perfect detail, but...

...and admit it, you think I'm stupid for thinking Cissnei was Elena...go ahead...I can take the abuse...

Nobody ever once said you were stupid, Gaix. Seriously. We were just pointing out that there is no possible way Cissnei is Elena.

Nah, you're not stupid at all.

I've known people who played and beat Final Fantasy IX, and didn't know that Kuja was a guy.

I liked Cissnei though, because she seemed to care about Zack, but was forced to abide by her duties. Obviously she's just a plot device, because she could never have any sort of love with Zack anyway, since it all revolved around Aerith.

Square Enix sure does like to make a lot of the pretty girls loveless in their games. =/ Tifa, Cissnei, Quistis, etc.

Only thing I have against Cissnei is...her weapon. A shuriken? Come on. Only Fuujin from FF8 used a shuriken, and it was lame then, too. Cissnei's a Turk, she should use some futuristic weapon...not a boomerang with sharp edges.

contra, how can you forget yuffie? Shuriken..

Anywho way to come out the closet their Gaix, Its cool, Now im just waiting for Davey Havok.
Anywho I liked how Cissinei sort of was the third wheel in sort of a love triangle (Im well aware that Zack didn't display any feelings for her) between Zack and Aerith and herself, although we seen this before in the original, it brings another point to the notion that Cloud and Zack's lives are very similar.

nd Tifa your sig and avatar are beautiful =)

Thank you. I certainly feel stupid.

Anyway, I agree with you on the crappy weapon. The second I saw it, I immediately thought of Axel from KHII. That's quite original. But Cissnei is a likable character because, like you said, she had feelings for Zack. If only her feelings did not intefere with her duties. Had she taken him in at Gongaga, Zack might have lived to see Aerith once more.
