1. WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE SMELL LIKE?
According to his official eau de toilette “A mix of refreshing floral, fruity and oriental scents.”
In reality, he probably smells like someone who has not changed their clothes in over a year, doesn’t know when they’ll get their next shower, hair spray, sword cleaning polish, and traces of mako that will forever cling to his skin.
2. WHAT DO YOUR MUSE’S HANDS FEEL LIKE?
If Madame M is to be believed “The strong, firm hands of a fighter. Yet they possess a certain elegance and grace.”
3. WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY EAT IN A DAY?
Cloud forgets to eat most days, then claim SOLDIERs don't need as many calories as the average person (liar). Since the party is normally on the road, resting at a local Inn or camping outside under the stars, Cloud will eat just about anything put in front of him regardless if he likes it or not.
He does however have a fondness for homemade cooking, especially his Mother’s Stew and whatever Tifa can whip up.
4. DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE A GOOD SINGING VOICE?
No. Cloud doesn't speak very often and when he does it’s delivered in this same tone that’s blunt and straight to the point. He hasn't exercised his vocals cords enough to get any real range out of them.
5. DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE ANY BAD HABITS OR NERVOUS TICKS?
He crosses his arms when he’s feeling defensive and occassionally taps his foot when idle for too long. If he fails to come up with a witty comeback then he does this adorable pout and go “hmph!” (Does that count?)
6. WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY LOOK LIKE / WEAR?
Cloud spends most of the game wearing whatever he has on hand, which is either his old infantryman uniform in Crisis Core or the SOLDIER uniform gifted to him by Zack. Advent Children is when we see Cloud actually wearing what he wants; all black outfits with many belts and wolf patterns, and an unnecessary half-skirt that matches Tifa’s own garb.
7. IS YOUR MUSE AFFECTIONATE? HOW MUCH? HOW SO?
Cloud does not show affection in the traditional way. The lack of social skills he learned as a kid and the trauma he suffured in Hojo’s lab have emotionally stunted him. This is best illustrated in FF7R when Tifa breaks down in front of Cloud in Aerith’s garden and Cloud doesn’t know how to help, so he mimics what he saw Barret do for Tifa when the plate fell, he hugs her. This gesture doesn't come naturally to Cloud and he sorta ruins it by hugging her too tightly.
Instead, Cloud shows affection by caring for the physical well-being of his loved ones. He offers Tifa advice like a coach would, he steps between Barret and a possible threat, goads NPCs into making better life choices, goes along on Jessie’s side quest, and in the case of Aerith, he doesn’t stop to consider how ridiculous it is to offer to walk her back home after she just went through the trouble of escorting him to Sector 7 in the first place.
Cloud acts tough but has proven that he will drop everything if someone needs help. He's kinda like your dad, isn't too good with the emotional support stuff, but great at doing these small acts of kindness that make your day slightly less shitty.
8. WHAT POSITION DOES YOUR MUSE SLEEP IN?
He’ll initially sleep on his back but at some point in the night curl up on his side. Sometime he’ll even fall sleeping sitting up with one leg drawn to his chest.
9. COULD YOU HEAR YOUR MUSE IN THE HALLWAY FROM ANOTHER ROOM?
Cloud has been proven to be quite stealthy, despite what the giant hunk of steel on his back would have you believe.
