hmm. Thinking of the Clouds I enjoy reading I think one of the main things that makes me love them so much is they really let me know what's going on inside him. None of them really have him all that talkative but what's going on inside his head is always really interesting to read. All three of them write him just a little bit differently but they all spend a lot of time rolling around inside his thoughts and I love reading what's going on under the surface like that. Like someone else said, Cloud's got a lot going on inside him even when he doesn't let on. It's enjoyable as a reader/interacting muse to be let in on it.

Another thing I enjoy so much is the depth of devotion they always write him as having for friends and family. I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff. When Cloud befriends someone it lasts straight through kidnapping small children or stealing the team's main means of support. I love reading the way he cares about the people he interacts with, often without saying a word. It's my favorite part of reading Cloud in fact, whether its watching him with his family or his friends and I enjoy the subtle difference in watching him interact with people he doesn't consider his inner circle as well in contrast.

There's also the humor several other people have mentioned. Cloud's got a very dry, sometimes snarky brand of it and I love it when it creeps into his thoughts. He's not above applying it to himself either and I think he often recognizes the absurdity of a situation but rolls with it anyway. He doesn't snark just anyone but when he finds someone that can take it, it's a beautiful thing to watch creep out.

And lastly I've noticed that Cloud seems to switch between straight on or tangled pretty easily in his thoughts. If there's one emotion or thought, Cloud will have three. Yet, when it's something important or immediate, he seems to snap down to a single crystal clear point of clarity. I see Cloud writers do it and I think it's got a good basis in canon too. He IS confused sometimes and yet he's also very sure about certain things, and sometimes he's both at the same time. I get to read more of that beautiful internalization I love and it lets him be both human and yet a quiet hero at the same time to me.

Pretty much this.
