'''Cid''' is a character introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts'' who originally appeared in ''{{wiki|finalfantasy|Final Fantasy VII}}''. Cid is forty-two years old at the beginning of ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' and 43 during the events of ''Kingdom Hearts II''.{{fact}} | |||

As a Cid, he bears the trademark of his association with machinery and airships, or gummi ships in this case. Like Cid Highwind, the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Cid is a pilot and is rather uncouth behavior with a good heart. However, what is not retained is his smoking habit, thus the lack of the box of cigarettes strapped to his goggles and his trademark cigarette in his mouth, which is replaced by a toothpick to produce a similar image, and more importantly, his signature foul mouth, with many of these foul words replaced by symbols in the English translation. In addition, his attire resembles neither his original design nor his appearance in ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children''. | ||

However, in the final release, they were removed from the game because, according to Nomura, there were too many plot lines already, and it would have gotten confusing.{{fact}} | ||

Cid is one of the first characters that [[Sora]] meets and befriends after arriving in [[Traverse Town]]. He runs an accessory shop in the center of the town's 1st District. At one point, Cid sends Sora out to deliver an old, broken book—The Adventures of [[Winnie the Pooh]]—to [[Merlin]]. When Sora and company return to Traverse Town with unusual gummis, he explains Navigation Gummis to them and offers to install that ones they find on their Gummi Ship. He turns over the accessory shop to someone else, and he begins selling Gummi Ship parts outside the synthesis shop. This is true to his Final Fantasy VII counterpart, as he is an expert on air travel. In fact, most incarnations of Cid in the Final Fantasy series have been associated with airships and mechanics. | |||

When Leon, [[Yuffie]] and [[Aerith]] depart to Hollow Bastion, he remains behind in Traverse Town, and seemingly becomes Kairi's only guardian.

Cid appears in [[Castle Oblivion]], in the memory-based version of Traverse Town. Like the other characters appearing out of Sora's memory, he doesn't remember Sora, but knows his name. | |||

Cid is a member of the [[Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee]], working out of Merlin's home. He fills Sora and company in on the goings on in town when the drop by. Cid seems to have a rivalry with Merlin, with Cid favoring technology over magic and Merlin favoring magic. He is a computer expert, and manages to create a program which helps Sora and [[Tron]] defeat the [[Master Control Program]]. | Cid is a member of the [[Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee]], working out of Merlin's home.

== | ==Appearance== | ||
Unlike his fellow ''[[finalfantasy:Compilation of Final Fantasy VII|Compilation of Final Fantasy VII]]'' characters, Cid's appearance in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' only vaguely resembles his look in the ''Compilation'' media. He retains his goggles and wears a necklace with a rectangular charm that resembles one he wore in ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'' (though it is made of wood and secured by a rope here, whereas in ''Advent Children'' it was metal and secured by a thin chain, rather resembling a military dog tag). Cid's short hair is blond, albeit styled a bit differently and much brighter than his original incarnation's platinum blond hair. | |||
His eyes are blue and he has some stubble on his chin. Cid chews on a toothpick instead of his normal cigarette due to the younger demographic of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. He wears a white T-shirt with two buttons descending from the neck. His baggy pants are blue and have a very wide, orange waistband with thin, vertical stripes on it. Cid's pants are worn rather high, with the waistband coming up to just under his ribcage, similar to the way he wore them in the ''Final Fantasy VII'' games. Cid also wears grey socks and black shoes. | His eyes are blue and he has some stubble on his chin.
