This is a photo from a cosplay on TikTok: @ kagenouzitsu

The cosplayer of Cid doesn't seem to have perfected the cosplay; they did it intentionally, which I appreciate because it makes Cid look more shabby and pathetic, more like the original character :D

In the light novel, there are details that suggest Cid isn't actually bad, but rather somewhat cute, he just hides it. However, I don't really like his eyes; they should have looked more despondent But it seems they deliberately created those puppy-dog, sparkling eyes, and the skin looks too pale

Overall 8.5/10 and the cosplayer doesn't look like the real person, but they are female.

• On the eminence in the shadow wiki, it says her hair is brown but that's not actually the case, it's related to terminology, Some English sites use the word "Puce" to describe her hair color. This is an extremely specific color, defined as dark brown with a pink or dark purple tint (like the color of ripe plum skin or dark wine). Therefore, if roughly translated into some languages, people will choose the closest word "brown" for simplicity. So the correct wiki term is "Puce" Brownish Purple / Plum

• The difference when making an Anime When adapting to animation, to make the character look more prominent under night scenes or dim laboratory lights, the filmmakers greatly increased the dark pink-purple pigment.

• In conclusion, in the light novel her hair is purple brown and in the anime her hair is dark pinkish purple and both are correct.
