Cider

Cider Rainbow (シードル・レインボウ, Shīdoru Reinbō) is a Beauty Mage in Magical Vacation.

Personality
Although his artistic talents exceed that of other teenagers, Cider is far from humble. He is very critical of other peoples' works, which got him excluded from an art gallery at one point. A lot of Cider's time is spent in the studio, yet he can hardly find any inspiration to make things, let alone settle on a particular theme. He is never satisfied with what he makes, regardless of how much praise his work receives.

Appearance
Cider has blonde hair, a small red hat, purple eyes, and a tanned complexion. His outfit consists of a red scarf, a yellow vest with big sleeves, as well as baggy pants of the same color. Two blue satchels are looped over his shoulders, and a blue cape flows over his back. His choice of shoes is a pair of brown loafers.

Prologue
Cider has been obsessed with art all his life, following in the footsteps of his mom since the age of 2. He took part in his first exhibition at 10 years-old, in which he was showered in praise for his incredible talents. When Cider was still young, he and his mom left to take part in an art festival. His mom was incredibly focused on her ice sculpting project and was accidentally caught in the middle of a raging blizzard. After four cold and foodless days of crying for help, she passed away before rescuers could find her. Only Cider made it back home.

This traumatic event warped Cider's artistic motivation, finding it hard to move on from the tragic death of his mom. He eventually started teaching his younger cousin, Souffle, how to draw. Souffle turned out to have lots of creative potential as well, but when someone came to purchase one of her works, Cider claimed it as his original creation.

Some time later, he gets enrolled into Will-o'-Wisp after being recognized for his artistic and magical talents. Cider's first on-screen appearance in the game occurs when the protagonist is rounding everyone up to go to Valencia Beach. He, Cassis, Olive and Arancia are in the Music Room, talking about the rumors of students either vanishing or turning corrupt every year. Olive tries using Vanilla Nighthawk as an example, but Cider is strongly convinced that the rumors are nonsense.

On the drive to Valencia Beach, his positive feelings about the trip remain strong. He improvises a few poems to convey his ambitions of freedom while spending the summer there.
