Journal Entry
Kingdom Hearts
"Final Fantasy VII"
Owner of an accessory shop in Traverse Town. A highly skilled engineer and a first-rate pilot. When the Heartless invaded his world, he escaped to Traverse Town on a gummi ship he'd built himself. He is an expert on gummi ships.
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
A gifted pilot who saved Leon and the others from the Heartless when they were just children.
Cid lives in traverse town now.
Kingdom Hearts II
An engineer, tech wizard and first-rate pilot. He met Sora as a castaway, while he was running a shop away from his hometown.
Now that he's back home, Cid is an active member of the town's Restoration Committee.
Kingdom Hearts
In the original Kingdom Hearts, Cid is one of the first characters that Sora befriends in Traverse Town. He first owns an accessory shop in the center of the town's 1st district. Cid sends Sora out to deliver an old, broken book (The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh) to Merlin. Later on he owns a shop which specializes in Gummi Ship parts. 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. Like Leon, Merlin, and other important characters met in Traverse Town, Cid was originally from Radiant Garden.
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
A memory-based version of Cid appears in Chain of Memories.
Kingdom Hearts II
In Kingdom Hearts II, Cid is a member of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Commitee who resides in Merlin's home with the other Radiant Garden characters. Cid seems to have a rivalry with Merlin because Cid thinks tecnology is better than magic while Merlin is the exact opposite. He is a computer expert, and manages to create a program which helps Sora and Tron to defeat the MCP.
Trivia
The name suggested by Riku to give to the raft in the beginning of Kingdom Hearts (the "Highwind") is Cid's last name in Final Fantasy VII and also the name of his Airship.
Already the most uncouth of the Final Fantasy VII characters present in the series, the Cid of Kingdom Hearts is actually a toned-down version. The original Cid Highwind, while he had a good heart, constantly swore or said foul words (such as when Cloud and AVALANCHE first meet him. Otherwise, his foul language would appear as symbols, as is usual for swear word text in other media.
However, his most defining trait, as is per most of his fellow Cids in Final Fantasy, is that he specializes in airships, or in this case, Gummi Ships.
