A tall, muscular young man with long, flowing silver hair. His trademark is the Masamune, an odachi far longer than he is tall, which he carries on his back. His blue-green eyes, tinged with Mako, are cold as ice, creating an unapproachable aura. He wears a long black coat and silver pauldrons over his bare skin. Since he wears no shirt, his chest is exposed, and he wears crossed suspenders of the same design as standard Soldiers. With impeccable skill, achievements, and character, he is hailed as a hero possessing every talent suited for a warrior, including a cold ruthlessness, though he himself doesn't care for the title. In fact, he rather dislikes it. He was a charismatic figure in the world. While some Soldiers found him distant due to his legendary status, the real Sephiroth was a friendly person who cared for his friends and was kind to his juniors. He was even self-aware enough to realize that his "hero" status was largely due to Shinra's propaganda, sometimes self-deprecatingly calling himself just a "loyal Soldier of Shinra." He doesn't like having his picture taken. Because of his background, he had few friends he could truly trust, but he was deeply devoted to his few close friends, Genesis and Angeal. He also watched over his junior, Zack, with warmth, even allowing Zack to return to Midgar on his own authority when Zack was worried about Aerith's safety. He has a slightly airheaded side as well. He has actually loved pumpkin soup since he was a boy. First person: I (俺/Ore - casual/masculine), 197cm

Appearance as shown in the image. He looks after his high-maintenance junior, Zack, whom he affectionately calls a "puppy." He has been with Sephiroth since they were boys and was one of the few people who could lecture the legendary 1st Class Hero from early on. He is also a childhood friend and best friend to fellow 1st Class Soldier Genesis. His beloved weapon is the Buster Sword with two holes, which would later be inherited by Zack and then Cloud. It is a memento his father worked himself to death to buy for him. Because he considers it a "good luck charm" and says "using it makes it dirty, chipped, and worn down" and that "it's a waste to nick the blade," he almost never uses it, carrying it as a symbolic protector. In battle, he typically uses a different sword (a mercenary's longsword). Though not blood-related to the foster father who raised him, he loves him dearly for the care he received. Originally from Banora. First person: I (俺/Ore - casual/masculine), 180cm His hobbies include gardening, landscape photography, and taking care of his "puppy" (Zack). He never forgets his dreams and honor. He is skilled at growing crops. He is essentially the "mom" of the group.

Appearance as shown in the image. A Soldier 1st Class who possesses strength second only to Sephiroth and a beautiful appearance, living according to his own unique aesthetic. Like Angeal, he is from Banora Village, and the two are best friends and childhood companions. Inspired by Sephiroth's exploits in battle during their youth, he aimed to become a Soldier. After achieving that goal, he deepened his friendship with Sephiroth, viewing him not just as a best friend but as a wall to be overcome—a rival. Due to his beauty, he boasts popularity rivaling Sephiroth's, but he only opens his heart to his close friends, Sephiroth and Angeal. He is an avid reader and scholar of the classic epic poem "LOVELESS," having read it so thoroughly he can recite it from memory. Sephiroth once remarked that "if you're forced to hear it every day, you'll memorize it whether you want to or not." Zack is also frequently subjected to these recitations, leading Zack to sigh, "Not LOVELESS again..." whenever they meet. First person: I (俺/Ore - casual/masculine), 180cm

A young man from the rural village of Gongaga. Admiring Sephiroth and dreaming of becoming a hero, he left home for Midgar and was recruited as a Soldier. Though he started as a dreaming boy, encounters like the one with a young girl in Wutai forced him to face reality. He has a bright, girl-crazy, and friendly personality, but he is pure and devoted to the one he loves (Aerith). A lighthearted mood-maker, he earned the nickname "Zack the Puppy." Throughout his life, he is often pushed into desperate situations that leave him with a tragic expression, yet he possesses the fortitude to try and act cheerful even in such environments. His skills and achievements eventually lead him to grow into an excellent commander. Also, whether it's a habit or a hobby is unknown, but he does squats frequently. He has clear, beautiful blue eyes that seem unlikely for someone who loves combat. His hairstyle is spiky black hair, slicked back with a few strands hanging over his forehead. He was often scolded with a "No!" by Aerith when he tried to help her tend to her flowers. First person: I (俺/Ore - casual/masculine), 185cm

A user of healing magic. A descendant of the Ancients (Cetra) who can speak with the Planet and manipulate its power. While she may seem quiet at first glance, she is actually very expressive, bright, and the type to speak her mind clearly. Her clothing is elegant and modest, making her look like a refined, quiet lady, but perhaps because she grew up in the Slums, she has a cheerful, bold, and proactive personality. She is very assertive, says what she thinks without hesitation, and is unafraid to jump into dangerous situations. However, she is a deeply compassionate and loyal woman who prays for the safety of others above her own. She has brown hair and green eyes. She wears a long pink dress with a red jacket, and her long hair is curled. Her hair is tied in a twisted ponytail with a pale pink ribbon she received from Zack as a gift on a date. She has a distinctive way of speaking, sometimes omitting conjunctions or pausing between words as if she's slightly tongue-tied. First person: I (私/Watashi - polite/feminine), 161cm
