Story

Kingdom Hearts

Cid in 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. When Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith depart to Hollow Bastion, he remains behind in Traverse Town, and seemingly becomes Kairi's only guardian. After Sora sealed Kingdom Hearts, he returns to his world and meets up with Cloud.

A memory-based version of Cid appears in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, in the memory-based version of Traverse Town.

Kingdom Hearts II

In Kingdom Hearts II, Cid is a member of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee who resides in Merlin's home with the other Radiant Garden characters. Cid seems to have a rivalry with Merlin because Cid favors technology over magic while Merlin favors the exact opposite. He is a computer expert, and manages to create a program which helps Sora and Tron defeat the Master Control Program.

Kingdom Hearts coded

Data Cid is looking for Data Huey, Dewey, and Louie when Sora saw him having a problem he tries to help him find the triplets. After defeating the source of the Bug Block Corruption, Data Guard Armor, and finding the triplets, he ask Sora to give him a Haste Drink and trade for Sora a Glow Bangle.

Appearance

Unlike his fellow Compilation of Final Fantasy VII characters, Cid's appearance in the Kingdom Hearts only vaguely resembles his look in the "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII" media. He retains his goggles and wears a necklace with a rectangular charm that resembles one he wore in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. However, it is made of wood and secured by a rope here; in Final Fantasy VII: 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 decending 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. The backpack he wears during a scene in the Kingdom Hearts manga is also a cameo of the backpack Cid uses in Final Fantasy Unlimited. Cid also wears grey socks and black shoes.
