Cid Kagenou Appearance
Cid Kagenou is a thin teenage boy with short, dark hair and generally unspectacular, frail-looking facial features. He must adhere to a dress code that includes a dress shirt, pants, blazer jacket, tie, and a pair of loafers to attend the Midgar Academy.
Cid wears a full-body slime suit, gloves, and boots, as well as a hooded trench coat and a domino mask as Shadow. This clothing has a jet-black dye with golden embroidery. Cid dons another domino mask, a suit, and fingerless gloves to hide his identity while posing as John Smith.
Cid had a tall and muscular physique in his previous life as Minoru Kagenou, thanks to his constant training, and towered over his peers. Despite this, his face was unadorned, with short black hair and black eyes. Overall, he resembles a bulkier version of his post-reincarnation self.
Cid Kagenou Personality
Kagneou is driven by his ambition to become an empower from the shadow, a person who wields enormous power from the shadows. This ambition and obsession are inspired by TV shows, video games, and other stories. He devotes himself to that goal with zeal and takes great pride in his accomplishments.
He respects other people’s efforts and despises those who rob power from others. His supporters think he is a brilliant mastermind, but in reality, his success is a result of dumb luck, creative problem-solving, and superior combat skills. Cid avoids attention in his civilian persona and presents himself as a lackluster student. He is enamored with appearing mysterious and cool in front of his followers while taking on the persona of the Shadow and engaging in silly antics.
