Seifer

Seifer is a Final Fantasy character in Kingdom Hearts II. A character found in Twilight Town, Seifer is always seen with his posse Fuu, Rai and Vivi. He shares a rivalry with Hayner and his gang, and would most of the time pick a fight with the latter.

Much like the original Seifer, he is cocky, sarcastic, and a self-proclaimed protector of order, or at least, his idea of order, which is just bullying people into following what he says.

Kingdom Hearts II
Final Fantasy VIII

Self-appointed head of the "Twilight Disciplinary Committee."

Seifer does his best to keep the town up to his own rigorous standards, but not everyone appreciates his high-handed tactics -- take Hayner's gang, for example.

His followers Fujin and Raijin are never far away.

Kingdom Hearts II
Seifer is the leader of the Simulated Twilight Town's Disciplinary Committee which includes his followers Rai, Fuu, and Vivi.

He appears to be a rival of Roxas, always calling him a chicken-wuss and picking fights with him and his friends. He is also the town's Champion for the Struggle Tournament in Twilight Town. He can be considered one of Twilight Town's two bosses alongside Axel. In the digitalized Twilight Town, Hayner, Vivi, and Setzer can only be fought once. Seifer, however, can be fought an infinite number of times.

In the real Twilight Town, when he meets Sora, Donald, and Goofy later in the game, he treats them like Roxas in the illusion Twilight Town. But when they save him and his gang from trouble, he gave them the Struggle Trophy, a sign of great respect. Seifer can also be fought in a Struggle battle after beating both Hayner and Setzer ten times each.

Appearance
Seifer's clothes are slightly based on Final Fantasy VIII's original version, but redesigned to match with his age and new style, that includes a hat with the "Ore" kanji (which is a distinctly masculine [the backwards kanji also stands for battle] and sometimes vulgar way of referring to oneself). The scar Leon gave him in Final Fantasy VIII is also shown in the game. In Kingdom Hearts II, Seifer's gunblade "Hyperion" is replaced with a Struggle Bat which he uses for all battles, but wields it similar to how he did Hyperion.

Personality
Seifer appears as very brash, rude, and taunting. He signifies himself as the 'protector of the town'. Seifer's personality contrasts in small ways from his personality in Final Fantasy VIII where he played as Leon's rival. His personality is a lot more brash than in his Final Fantasy version and is more childish. But this probably is reflecting his age. While he often seems like a bully he is shown to care about the town and is nice to Roxas or Sora when see fit.

Trivia

 * At one point in the early stages of Kingdom Hearts II, Seifer calls Roxas a chicken wuss - a reference to his derogatory nickname for the character Zell Dincht on various occasions in Final Fantasy VIII.
 * For some reason, there is an alternate cutscene if you lose the first battle with Seifer. This is likely a reference to him and Leon (Squall), because of how there was an alternate cutscene for Leon also.
 * Seifer is the first evidence of a malfunction in the virtual world by how when he taunts Roxas it appears slow and strange.
 * The fact that he is the leader of the 'Twilight Town Disciplinary Committee' is a reference to his original game, where he was the leader of the 'Balamb Garden Disciplinary Committee'
