SEPHIROTH AGE: 16 HEIGHT: There isn't an official height for Sephiroth at this age, but his in-game model is smaller than Lucia's, so I GUESS 5'5" or 5'6"?? Could be smaller?? He grows like a weed in a couple of years, thanks Jenova! BUILD: Slim, twunk-ish? HAIR: Silvery-white EYES: Turquoise, slit pupil with night eyeshine. The irises visibly glow green. ORIGIN: Who knows where he was actually born, but he grew up in Shinra Tower in Midgar on the planet probably still called Gaia. LANGUAGE: Common, Wutaian. VISION Sephiroth is considered a beautiful young man, and carries himself with a lot of grace and confidence. He's very pale and has no piercings or tattoos or scars to speak of, since he heals too quickly for them to take (and also, even if Sephiroth was interested in piercings or tattoos, Hojo and President Shinra would never allow them). He's a superhuman and has none of the experiences most children go through, so he tends to be almost eerily still when he's not actively choosing to move, and he doesn't blink nearly often enough for comfort. He usually wears some version of his uniform, and otherwise prefers utilitarian clothing that's easy to move and fight in. SOUND SPOILERS for chapter 8 of The First SOLDIER. He doesn't usually have much emotion in his voice, but when he does... SCENT Mako, which I imagine is kind of.. green? Antiseptic, inoffensive soap, blood, steel, leather. I would expect the Mako is the most clear scent, since there's so much of it in his body. MISC More art, cw for blood. Also, he's carrying Aonibi here, not the sword in his art (Nameless).

I unironically love that everyone has their own headcanon for the smell of mako.

Wasn't Sephiroth born in Nibelheim? Did I make that up?

most of the project happened in nibelheim, but i honestly don't remember if they ever showed he was actually born there.. and i'm too lazy to go back and find out for sure.
