Evening Boots
1885-1890
Probably French
While the slipper and the strapped shoe were the most common choice for evening wear in the last third of the 19th century, boots did occasionally continue to appear. As with shoes, the basic evening boot was satin, either plain or featuring an embroidered vamp, usually in floral or foliate designs. Surviving examples of evening boots of the late 19th and early 20th centuries suggest, however, that those daring to wear something already outside of the ordinary often opted as well for unconventionally bold and unusual materials and trimmings. This pair of boots typifies that phenomenon: anachronistic side-lacing, novel and atypically exuberant fret and scroll motifs, and embroidery covering the entire boot, including the heel.
The MET (Accession Number: 2009.300.1477a–d)

Black Opal rarely ever sees action. The only notable time he’s been formed was during the Wutai War, an act of desperation when Angeal, Sephiroth, and Genesis were moments from death. As far as three-person fusions go, he’s surprisingly stable. He ruthlessly and efficiently takes care of any obstacles between himself and his goal. All he knows how to do is fight, and so after succeeding, he searches for another opponent of obstacle to overcome.
He bows to no one, certainly not Shinra. Of the First’s fusions, he’s the only one Shinra is aware of, as he refused to unfuse after the Wutai incident had to be unfused by force.
Bonus fusion line up under the cut:

In 2002, anthropologist Grover Krantz made a unique arrangement for his final resting place: donating his body to the Smithsonian, with a heartfelt condition. Krantz insisted that his cherished Irish Wolfhound, Clyde, accompany him in death. True to his wishes, when Krantz's body was put on display in 2009, Clyde stood faithfully by his side for all to see.
