Dislikes: His
father (at first), extreme heat
When you first meet him in Shinra HQ, he is being used in Hojo's sick experiments. It's easy to see why; despite his appearance, he is extremely intelligent, and his kind have incredible longevity. He tries to act mature at all times, because he wants people to see him as an adult, not the teenager he is. As a result of this, some people see him as a cold, unfriendly person. In truth, he is loyal, friendly, and very honorable.
In battle, he is a well-balanced fighter and magic-user. Once you get through Cosmo Canyon, he becomes one of the strongest characters on the first disc, because of the high attack power of the Seraph Comb. He only has one long-range weapon, and it has no Materia slots, so keep him on the front line. He has some okay Limit Breaks, but they can't compare to some of the other characters'.

Note: this
is not official Square material, and I didn't base my fics on it. It's
still neat, though.

Some quotes:
"I'm Nanaki,
son of Seto.....it's all right, all right. I'm Nanaki, son of the brave
warrior Seto..... I'm not afraid of Sephiroth...."
"An informed
question. But difficult to answer. I am what you see."
"It's quite
difficult standing on two feet."
"My mane got
messed up. I'm going to go lie down somewhere cool."
"Any way you
look at it, I'd say I make a fine human being."
"Would you
kindly hurry? The heat here is drying my nose."
"Cloud... I'm
number 13. Am I going to go mad too?"
The STUPIDEST
Red XIII quote of all time:
"ZOUNDS! GRRRRGH!
GRRRRRGH!! GRRRRRGH!!!"
(When Yuffie
steals all your Materia in Wutai)
I'm going to
try and get some pictures of this...
Please
don't... it's the most embarrasing thing I've ever said.
Have you tried:
Kicking the
soccer ball at him in Costa del Sol? You can only do this if he didn't
participate in the battle against Jenova-BIRTH. Also, if he's in your party,
you can make him faint from the heat! Just go and talk to Hojo. He'll keel
over (Poor Red.... he doesn't like heat, it dries his nose).
That's
RIGHT! Poor Red. It hurts! Graham's sadistic! He kicks it at least 20 times
during each game!
