* ChildHater: {{Implied|Trope}} by a sarcastic remark to Saïx when the latter returns from [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Monstropolis]].

* OneWingedAngel: Undergoes a transformation prior to his battle in [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Monstropolis]]. His hair grows matted and unkempt, [[SupernaturalGoldEyes his eyes turn a solid yellow]] and [[FangsAreEvil his teeth stretch into fangs]]. Unlike most examples, Saïx does this during his first fight with the heroes.

* WouldHitAGirl: Was willing to [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice kill]] Megara in order to foil Hades' plan for godhood. {{Justified|Trope}}, since Hades becoming the single-most powerful being in the universe would spell bad news for everyone, including the Organization.

* WouldHitAGirl: Tackles Elsa to the ground and [[spoiler:stabs her in the heart with a shard of [[TeamMemberInTheAdaptation Nahxs']] [[AccentuateTheNegative enchanted]] [[MagicMirror glass]]]].

* AnIcePerson: Wields power over ice. [[spoiler:Riku Replica gains this power after killing him.]]

[[caption-width-right:280:''[[{{Catchphrase}} "Got it memorized?"]]'']]

* AdaptationOriginConnection: {{Inverted|Trope}}. As well as the above with Roxas, Axel never befriends Xion due to him falling out with Roxas prior to meeting her.

* FlyingWeapon: [[spoiler:Makes use of the rusted Keyblades in WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet, levitating them and launching them at Captain Flint's Nobody. This indicates that Xigbar is [[WillfullyWeak far more powerful than he lets on]].]]

->''"Don't you see? There never ''were'' any bombs! Your sentimentality blinded you, just as it always has! That's why you were the perfect—"''

* EvilOldFolks: One of the senior members of the Organization. Riku Replica even refers to him as "old".

* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:In their past, Lauriam and Elrena were kind, soft-spoken and noble youths. In the present day, they couldn't be further from these things.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: They make it ''clear'' that they're more than willing to harm Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby to get to the Replica and Naminé.

* DeadpanSnarker: Her cruelty is matched only by her sarcasm. [[spoiler:Had shades of this even as [[NiceGirl Elrena]].]]

%%* JerkAssRealization: [[spoiler:After regaining

** [[spoiler:Gives Xion some encouraging words in regards to the latter's identity crisis, telling her that she's the only one who gets to decide who she is.]]
--->[[spoiler:Get a grip, kid. If this is how you see yourself…''[Gestures to a projection of Xion's face]'' Then that’s you. Not this. ''[Gestures to the "Riku" side of her face]'' Grow a backbone already. You’re the only one who gets to decide what you ar—HEY, SHUT UP, I’M TALKING!]]
** [[spoiler:While trying to kill Ventus, Larxene refers to Xion as a "good kid".]]

[[folder:The Old Friend - '''(UNMARKED SPOILERS)''']]

* PetTheDog: When an incapacitated Riku is placed in the Simulated Twilight Town to recover, Xemnas forbids the Organization from taking advantage of his vulnerability, instead allowing the boy to recover despite the threat he poses to his plans.

-->'''Xehanort:''' The future of the Organization is dying on this couch, and [[SkewedPriorities you would rather]] ''[[SkewedPriorities watch TV?]]''\\
'''Xigbar:''' [[BluntYes Yep.]]

* WouldHitAGirl: Tackles Elsa to the ground and [[spoiler: stabs her in the heart with a shard of [[TeamMemberInTheAdaptation Nahxs']] [[AccentuateTheNegative enchanted]] [[MagicMirror glass]]]].

* FauxAffablyEvil: Greets Axel in a deceptively sweet voice when he interrogates the latter over the disappearance of the Mirror Trio.

* {{Sadist}}: Rivals ''[[AlphaBitch Larxene]]'' in terms of sheer cruelty.

* FriendlyEnemy: {{PlayedWith|Trope}}. Though Aqua knew Demyx was an enemy, she found it difficult to begrudge him due to his awkward demeanor and gave him a shy smile.
-->'''Xiruk:''' Just don't get too chummy. [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Demyx may look like a clown, but I've seen him at his worst. Never looked at water the same way since…]]

* AdaptationalBadass: Xemnas has all of Terra's abilities, though he chooses not to use them in order to hide his identity. Though he can wield the No Name Keyblade, Xemnas avoids using it due to it being a reminder of the man who ruined his life.[[note]]It should be noted that the ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth By Sleep]] Ultimania'' [[https://www.khinsider.com/forums/index.php?threads/bbs-ultimania-plot-mysteries-nomura-interview.147009/ suggests]] that Xemnas can use a Keyblade but intentionally chooses not to, though this was not touched upon in the games.[[/note]]

* TheCorruptor: They target vulnerable individuals (usually villains) and push them into using darkness with the aim of turning them into TheHeartless and possibly recruiting their Nobody.

* WouldHitAGirl: Was willing to [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice kill]] Megara in order to foil Hades' plan for godhood. {{Justified|Trope}} in that Hades becoming the single-most powerful being in the universe would spell bad news for everyone, including the Organization.

-->''"Oh, don't tell me that kids aren't actually toxic…"''

* OurGargoylesRock: Disguises himself as a Gargoyle when he approaches [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} Demona]] for an alliance.

-->'''Zexion:''' I just wish you were more forthcoming. All these years, and there's still so much I don't ''know''.\\
'''Xemnas:''' The walls have ears, Zexion. You alone have earned my trust, but I cannot take chances.

* TheComicallySerious: Comes off as this when interacting with his more comical peers.

* ClimaxBoss: [[DualBoss Alongside Xigbar]] in ''The Year Between''. The duo launch a surprise attack in Disney Town duruing the Dream Festival in order to coax the heroes into rebrandishing their Keyblades.

-->Upon meeting Young Xehanort: "WOAH! Are you Xemnas's KID?!"

* IdentityAmnesia: This is the reason for their interest in Castle Oblivion, a place which holds power over memories.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: They are clearly *not* good role models for Xion.

* WouldHurtAChild: They make it *clear* that they're more than willing to harm Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby to get to the Replica and Naminé.

* KickTheDog: [[WouldHurtAChild Slaps Xion and screams in her face]] when [[spoiler:the latter nearly blows their cover in Arendelle.]]

** [[spoiler:While trying to kill Ventus, Larxene refers to Xion as a good kid.]]

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Due to their drastically different goals,[[note]]It should be noted that Xemnas' character arc in ''Antipode'' was planned long before the release of ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance''[[/note]] Xemnas is not allies with Ansem [=SoD=] and Young Xehanort in this continuity, viewing them with disdain and contempt.

* FlyingWeapon: [[spoiler: Makes use of the rusted Keyblades in WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet, levitating them and launching them at Captain Flint's Nobody. This indicates that Xigbar is far more powerful than he lets on.]]

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: When Xaldin stabs Elsa in the heart with a shard of Nahxs' [[MagicMirror enchanted glass]], she retaliates by embedding the shard into his left arm, turning it into ice. This is played for BlackComedy when Kristoff picks up the dismembered arm and gets into a conversation with Hans about selling frozen limbs on the black market.]]

* AnIcePerson: Wields power over ice. [[spoiler:Riku Replica gains this power after killing him, though he isn't seen using it.]]

* ShameIfSomethingHappened: Says this when he threatens to kill the Replica's friends should he refuse to cooperate.

* VillainsOutShopping: Reads a philosophical book about [[WhatIsEvil the subjectivity of morality]].

* GutturalGrowler: Has a guttural yet eloquent voice.

* DarthVaderClone: Plays it even straighter than in canon since [[spoiler: he's Terra's Nobody]].

* DarthVaderClone: In this fic, Terra is a FallenHero that [[HeWhoFightsMonsters became just as bad as Xehanort, the one who has the role of Darth Sidious]].

* CoolGun: Wields dual Arrowguns which can be [[ComboRifle combined into a sniper rifle]].

* KickTheMoralityPet: Despite longing for the company of his old friends, Terra holds a great deal of resentment towards Aqua due to their fallout in ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth By Sleep]]'' and has allowed that bitterness to fester over the past decade with no heart to mediate. During ''Act 3'''s Castle Oblivion arc, Terra guilt trips Aqua with a manipulative tour of his memories, berating her for all the ways she had hurt him. [[VillainHasAPoint Though his accusations aren't wrong]], the toxic manner in which Terra lashes out at her prompts Aqua to [[TheDogBitesBack retaliate]] [[PayEvilUntoEvil in kind]].

** The above instance is immediately followed by a verbal lashing from Terra's own conscious.

* LiteralSplitPersonality: Upon breaking free from Xehanort's control prior to the events of the story, Terra was split into two beings: his [[TheSoulless Nobody]] adopted the name Xemnas and formed Organization XIII while his heart remained [[SoulJar trapped within the Lingering Will]].
* KickTheMoralityPet: During ''Act 3'''s Castle Oblivion arc, Terra guilt trips Aqua with a manipulative tour of his memories, berating her for all the ways she had hurt him during the events of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep''. Though she feels immense guilt for her harsh words to him in the past, the toxic manner in which Terra lashes out at her prompts Aqua to [[TheDogBitesBack retaliate]] [[PayEvilUntoEvil in kind]].

->''"Marluxia and Larxene aren't like TheHeartless. They're smart, ruthless, and [[WouldHurtAChild they wouldn't think twice about hurting a kid if it means getting through to me]]."''

* AdaptationalVillainy: The fact remains that Terra (whose portrayed as unambiguously heroic in canon) underwent a BigBadSlippage and became an AntiVillain of his own volition prior to the events of the story.

* FaceHeelTurn: Underwent a BigBadSlippage prior to the events of the story.

* ItIsBeyondSaving: Terra has grown tired of the endless cycle which sees the worlds falling to darkness while the people with the power to make a change (ie: Yen Sid) [[OrcusOnHisThrone do nothing to help]], instead relying on Keyblade-wielding children to solve their problems. Believing the universe to be beyond saving, Terra intends to use the artificial Kingdom Hearts to remake the world and purge the corruption which permeates this cycle.

* SupernaturalGoldEyes: As a result of being [[DemonicPossession possessed by Xehanort in the past]]. Aqua notes that they're the same colour as his Wayfinder.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Though he is well aware of the depravity of his actions, Xemnas genuinely believes them to be for the greater good.

* {{Yandere}}: A non-romantic example. Terra secretly longs for the company of his old friends Aqua and Ventus and is willing to disregard their wishes and resort to manipulation to keep them close to him.

* WalkingSpoiler: It's impossible to discuss Terra's role in the story without giving away the twist that he (or [[LiteralSplitPersonality his Nobody]] is the villain.

-->Intimidation won’t do me any favors. I’m not a fool. Used to be. There was a time where I was warm. Open. Trusting… And that trust cost me ''everything''.

* {{Yandere}}: A non-romantic example. Terra secretly longs for the company of his old friends Aqua and Ventus and is willing to go to great lengths to keep them close to him.

* AdaptationalExplanation: Xemnas' use of Ethereal Blades as projectiles is explained to be a Shotlock.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While he's nonetheless a cold, {{manipulative|Bastard}} BadBoss, this version of Xemnas is more [[AffablyEvil affable towards the heroes]], is less prone to [[KickTheDog cruelty for cruelty's sake]] and makes it clear that he takes no pleasure in the suffering caused by his misdeeds.

* VillainousRescue: Is {{implied|Trope}} to have saved Aqua from certain death at the hands of the [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Cyclops Titan]] by shielding her with a barrier.

* AdaptationalHeroism: {{ZigZagged|Trope}}. This iteration of Xemnas, being Terra's Nobody rather than Xehanort's, is decidedly more sympathetic than his [[NotSoWellExtremist canon counterpart]], with [[WellIntentionedExtremist nobler intentions]] and more redeeming qualities. However...
* AdaptationalVillainy: The fact remains that Terra (whose portrayed as unambiguously heroic in canon) underwent a BigBadSlippage and became a TragicVillain of his own volition prior to the events of the story.

* AffablyEvil: Unlike his [[FauxAffablyEvil canon counterpart]]
