Final Fantasy VII

Summons Holy

White Materia is a very unique form of Materia, and is the direct opposite to Black Materia. The White Materia is used by Aeris Gainsborough to speak to the Planet. To signify that this action has happened, the Materia glows green.

The materia itself was used to summon Holy, which embodies the power of the Planet in attempt to protect itself. The White Materia was given to the Cetra by the Planet, along with the Black Materia. However, the Cetra sealed the Black Materia away as it could easily be manipulated. As the Cetra's numbers began to dwindle so did the knowledge of Holy when Ifalna passed away, she gave the White Materia to her daughter Aeris, but was unable to explain its potential to her.

When Aeris was travelling with Cloud and the others she learnt about the White Materia's abilities, and with that knowledge she knew she was the only one who could actually stop Sephiroth's plan. She head to the City of the Ancients in order to meditate, with the hope of summoning Holy. Sadly during this she was killed by Sephiroth, the White Materia falls from her the hiding place inside her hair and bounces down the steps into the water.

Aeris' prayer was not in vain however, as her words were heard by the Planet. However, Sephiroth was preventing the Lifestream from answering. When Sephiroth was defeated, Holy was finally able to prevent Meteor from destroying the planet.
