My Favorite Main Character of Final Fantasy 13

Snow Villiers is a playable character in Final Fantasy 13. Snow is a passionate and impulsive young man who fights his enemies with his powerful physique as a weapon. Snow is the leader of a neighborhood gang called NORA in the town of Bodhum.

Despite Serah’s sister, Lightning, disliking Snow; he continues to fight for the people he care about. Including Lightning. Snow has the termination to fight all that is evil to save Cocoon and his friends. Even if it means giving up his life. How’s that for a Hero?

   Snow’s arrogance can lead him into a lot of trouble, but can even out the odds with the help of his eidolon. Eidolons are powerful beings that protect their master from harm and can guide them into the right direction if their master is in a situation. Shiva, also known as the Twin Sisters of Shiva, is Snow’s eidolon in Final Fantasy 13. The Twin Sisters, Stiria and Nix, are ice-elemental mechanical women who can transform and merge into a motorcycle.
