...The canary I've been after... She flew into my cage of her own free will.

Who is feather boy?

Kuja is a brilliant character from the role-playing game Final Fantasy IX. Intelligent, cunning, and ruthless, he's one tough cookie from the series. From providing Queen Brahne with black mages to causing near destruction of everyone and everything, he's a fearsome villian. And all this is, of course, accompanied by a kick arse attitude and narcissism that can - thankfully - actually be backed up.

History of obsession

Truth be told, my initial impressions of Kuja weren't positive. I found him to be highly conceited, extremely self-absorbed, and generally bothersome with his overexaggerated speech. Ironically that's what I love about him now. The cliche "I hate you to the point I love you" saying is notorious around these parts.

He can be so cruel and sadistic, it's amusing to see the way he laughs the classic mwahahahahahahaha! over and over again in that one scene. The display of his awesome power and unmatched intelligence is also something to keep an eye on; strong and smart - that's a hard combination to come by. And he has the most epic creature-companion around... how cool is having a dragon by your side?

Aside from all that, narcissists that can back the claim up always get a bonus.

I'm a sucker for tragic stories and Kuja isn't short on that list. Actually, he's pretty high up considering all the speculations that can be made about his past (another trait I love; being able to theorize and all). The obvious parts are that he's been deprived, isolated, and all around looked down upon. So he's got a reason for doing what he does in the story. Despite how whacked up and out-of-your-mind it is.

Therefore, even with my previous impressions of him being a completely insane nutcase, I have seen a new light within Kuja and the glory of the fake masks he wears. He's the one in a million kind of guy that can be elegant and barbaric at the same time.
