Cloud Strife - Cloud Strife (????·?????, Kuraudo Sutoraifu?) is the main protagonist in Squaresoft's (now known as Square Enix) role-playing game Final Fantasy VII and several of its sequels and spin-offs. His appearance is marked by spiky blonde hair, vivid blue eyes (a distinguishing feature of SOLDIER members and a sign of having been exposed to mako energy), dark purple or blue clothing, and his Buster Sword (a zweihänder-style sword with a distinctive, oversized blade). At first, Cloud displays a cold and uncaring demeanor, but he gradually adapts to his role as a leader.
