Cloud was born in the mountain village of Nibelheim. During his childhood, his father died and he was raised by his mother. Due to his lack of close friends, Cloud, perhaps as a coping mechanism, considered himself to be superior to all the other village children, and thus did not enjoy their company. | Cloud was born in the mountain village of Nibelheim.

Despite this, Cloud had a crush on his neighbor {{s|wikipedia|Tifa Lockhart}} while growing up, and the two became friends despite not being close during their childhoods. At the age of 14, Cloud, upon learning of the legendary hero [[Wikipedia:Sephiroth_(Final_Fantasy)|Sephiroth]]'s exploits and desiring to impress Tifa, left Nibelheim for [[Midgar]] to join SOLDIER, the paramilitary arm of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a megacorporation that effectively ruled the world. | Despite this, Cloud had a crush on his neighbor {{s|wikipedia|Tifa Lockhart}} while growing up, and the two became friends despite not being close during their childhoods.

Much to Cloud's dismay, he was unable to join SOLDIER and became a mere infantryman. However, he was one of the few people selected to protect Professor Rayleigh from the insurgency group known as Avalanche, during which he displayed a great amount of skill with a sword in spite of his ranking. Around this time, Cloud would eventually befriend a 1st Class SOLDIER named {{s|wikipedia|Zack Fair}}. | Much to Cloud's dismay, he was unable to join SOLDIER and became a mere infantryman.
