Angst Alphabet: Sephiroth

Yeah, we're doing this. Thanks to bbaj739 for finding the alphabet. You're the best, Circle (:

Image is a joke image I made a few months ago, the render is from the wiki.

A— Anger (what makes them angry?
How do they deal with the anger?)

Sephiroth doesn't really get angry. After all, he is the most powerful SOLDIER, and he definitely thinks of himself as the cream of the crop. However, anything about his past riles him up.

Take, for example, the Nibelheim Incident.  Sephiroth discovers his life was a lie, and burned down an entire town as a result. Coping is not in his lifestyle

B— Bad Habits (what bad habits do they have?)

If we're messing with headcanons, he's probably likes to play with fire, as again with the Nibelheim incident. Watching it, moving his fingers through it, etc. He's also a stalker for those from his past, especially a certain someone. (I guess you could consider that under bad habits)

C— Can't (what can't they do? Is it a moral thing or some skill they just never learned?)

"Can't" is not a word in Sephiroth's vocabulary. But, let's be real here, having a conversation with those who aren't his friends (especially after the Nibelheim Incident) is up there. He basically never learned to talk with other people if it's not about his work, with the few exceptions being Genesis, Angeal, and Zack.

One can imagine what had happened after their deaths and betrayals.

D— Death (How do they die? With family or alone? How does their partner find out?)

Completely cold and alone. And twice! Cloud stabs him both times. If he came back after Advent Children, something tells me Cloud would honestly not care and Sephiroth would be alone in the middle of the desert.

E— Embarrassed (what embarrasses them?)

Messing with his wing. No, seriously. Sephiroth's wing is as precious to him as his hair or his sword. Someone fluffing or stroking the feathers would probably cause him to freeze and awkwardly stand there until they stopped.

F— Fake (what do they fake? An emotion? A lack of emotions?)

His calm, or lack of emotions. Sephiroth acts cool and collected, but he's definitely always in inner turmoil. Learning your entire life was a lie isn't exactly something you can keep bottled up for long. He most likely cries about it alone.

G— Guilty (what do they feel guilty about? why?)

I'd imagine he regrets the Nibelheim incident somewhat, and hurting Tifa specifically. Not Cloud. Obviously not Cloud. 

Would he regret Aerith's death? Presumably, yes. He believed he was a Cetra, and no doubt killing one of his own would probably hurt. A lot.

H— Heartbreak (how did they deal with heartbreak? which time effected them the most?)

Something tells me Sephiroth finally realizing that JENOVA was never his mother, or that he was truly insane, would basically break him. I'd imagine he'd just sink down somewhere in the afterlife and stare at nothing for a while, before crying.

If we're talking about romantic breakups, I've got nothing for that.

I— Insecure (what are their insecurities?)

Not being the strongest. It's why he gets jumpy and almost fearful when Cloud goes full Omnislash mode. Power is basically the only thing Sephiroth holds on to.
