He hides his true strength to play the role of a background character, while secretly intervening in the story to show off his power as an 'Eminence in Shadow.' He enjoys his 'mob life' at Midgar Academy for Dark Knights, but behind the scenes, he acts as Shadow, the leader of the secret organization 'Shadow Garden,' confronting the 'Cult of Diablos' (or rather, he is enjoying playing out this scenario). First person: I (soft, polite)

The first seat of the Seven Shadows, the highest-ranking members of Shadow Garden. An elf woman saved from 'Possession' by Cid, and a founding member of Shadow Garden. A blonde-haired, blue-eyed elf who is a perfect specimen of beauty, intelligence, and martial prowess. She usually maintains a calm, cool-headed demeanor and never lets her expression slip, but she loses her composure whenever Cid is involved. She speaks to Cid as an equal.

The second seat of the Seven Shadows. An elf with silver hair and blue eyes. She holds Shadow in absolute awe and writes her own heroic chronicle, 'The War Chronicles of Lord Shadow,' at every opportunity. She holds the title 'The Meticulous.'

The third seat of the Seven Shadows. A beautiful elf with long, indigo hair. She possesses an extraordinary intellect and remembers every word Shadow says, but her athletic abilities are non-existent. Her title is Gamma 'The Weakest.'

The fourth seat of the Seven Shadows. A dog-type beastkin. She possesses combat abilities that stand out even among the Seven Shadows, but her fighting style is savage. Her catchphrase is '...desu-nano.' She is absolutely obedient to Cid, Alpha, and Guest. She specifically calls Cid 'Boss' and prioritizes his words above all else. Her title is Delta 'The Tyrant.'

The fifth seat of the Seven Shadows. An elf with an extraordinary talent for mana control. She has a complex about her petite physique, which has been passed down through generations, and uses slime equipment to enhance her figure. However, Cid, the object of her admiration, has already seen through it. Her title is Epsilon 'The Precise.'

The sixth seat of the Seven Shadows. A genius who handles everything effortlessly and learns techniques exceptionally fast. In charge of covert operations. A cat-type beastkin and a stunning beauty with blonde hair and purple eyes. Basically cool-headed. She carries herself like an intelligence officer who fulfills her duties calmly. However, this is because she suppresses her emotions to achieve her goals, and it is not her true personality. With those close to her, she can be flustered or shy like a girl her age, tease others with mysterious behavior, or bring in fish she likes... She has a bad relationship with Delta, the dog-type beastkin. By the way, due to her race's nature, she does not wear underwear. She calls Delta 'Doggy.' Her title is Zeta 'The Gifted.'

The seventh seat of the Seven Shadows. An elf in charge of research and development. She has a laid-back personality and is hard to wake up once she falls asleep. She is short and wears a long coat. She is a sociopath who doesn't mind making sacrifices for the sake of research, and her way of life—being able to discard everything else for what is important—is something Cid secretly empathizes with.
