In the end, though it took him over a year to master it (and at one point before then it nearly consumed him, forcing Naminé to shatter his heart to save him), he's able to accept the darkness as a part of him and uses it for good.

->''"Look, I'll be frank. I don't care about light or darkness. I'll walk my own path, even if that means bending the rules. I'll pave it with my own hands if I have to."''
The main [[TheProtagonist protagonist]] of ''Antipode''. Riku inherits the Keyblade as fate intended and inadvertently dooms his home in his desire to see something greater than his island life. A headstrong youth, Riku gradually learns to look past himself and grows into the hero the worlds need him to be.

* AntiHero: Starts off a brash, arrogant and irresponsible youth, with his primary redeeming factor being his dedication to his friends. [[CharacterDevelopment He gets better.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: Initially, he cared little for his responsibilities as Keybearer, desiring only to explore new worlds and reunite with his friends. Seeing Pleasure Island fall to darkness was a wake-up call for him.
** At first, Riku viewed Donald and Goofy with disdain and used them as a free ticket to other worlds. As he saw how they stuck with him in spite of his recklessness and selfishness, he grew to value them as companions.
* TheChosenOne:
* CommonalityConnection: Riku quickly befriends Elsa over their shared struggles, namely with controlling their powers and running away from their friends in order to avoid hurting them.
* CoolBoard: His Keyblade Glider takes the form of a hoverboard.
* DarkIsNotEvil
* ForWantOfANail: The entire plot hinges on Riku obtaining the Keyblade as fate intended.
* IWillFindYou: The reason why Riku refuses to close the Door to Darkness is because Sora is missing.
* ThePromise: Promised to Kairi that if they find a way to bring back their world, he won't set foot on it until they find Sora.
-->If we find a way to bring back the worlds, I won't set foot on the islands again. Not until we find him. Home just wouldn't be the same unless we were all there together.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to [[WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet Silver]] after his betrayal.
-->You told Jim that you saw greatness in him. Said the same thing to me. We trusted you. Heck, I even kind of looked up to you. But, you're just another [[BitchInSheepsClothing Maleficent]].
* RefusedTheCall: Riku initially cared little for his responsibilities as Keybearer, desiring only to explore new worlds and find his friends. [[CharacterDevelopment He gets better.]]
* SadisticChoice: In the ending of ''The Antipode'', Riku has to choose between closing the Door to Darkness, thereby restoring the words at the cost of potentially never seeing Sora again, or leaving the Door open, thereby allowing the Heartless to roam free until they find Sora. He chooses the latter and much of the series explores the consequences and aftermath of this selfish decision.
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler: When a BrainwashedAndCrazy Elsa launches a blast of ice at her beloved sister Anna in a fit of rage, Riku shields her from the blow, having his heart frozen in the process.]]
* TrueCompanions: Riku and Elsa are this. Both being lost souls who isolated themselves from their friends and loved ones out of fear of hurting them, they find kindred spirits in each other almost immediately upon meeting. This is cemented when [[spoiler:Elsa directly threatens Xemnas on Riku's behalf.]] Overlaps with PlatonicLifePartners.

->''"No matter what happens to me, I'll always be there… in your hearts. If you think of me long enough and if you don't forget me… our hearts will be one. No amount of darkness is ever gonna change that."''
A close friend of Riku and Kairi and a spirited boy whose kindness is exploited by malicious forces. Despite becoming a Heartless, Sora retains both his sense of self and his dedication to his friends.
-----
* AdaptationalBadass: His Heartless form. The key difference is that Ansem told Sora ahead of time what would happen when he released Kairi's heart and urged him to embrace the darkness, purely out of curiosity for what would happen if someone so kind dove right in. Sora taking that plunge while clinging to his sense of self, coupled with Ven’s heart sticking with him allowed him to maintain a stronger Heartless form. As a Heartless, he reassembles Anti-Form with more expressive eyes and retains his magical prowess.
* CoolSword: Was given a Soul Eater by [[EvilMentor Maleficent]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: [[EvilMentor Maleficent]] gives Sora a Soul Eater and teaches him green fire magic, which he utilizes during his fight with Riku. Taken further when he becomes a Heartless.
* HeroicSacrifice: Is dangerously prone to this. Like in canon, Sora sacrifices his life to save Kairi and ends up losing his heart. He remains a Heartless for the rest of the series with only Ventus for company as a voice inside his head. When they are captured by the Organization in ''All That's Left'', [[spoiler:Xemnas offers to disable the tracking spell on Riku's sigil if they reawaken Ventus, leaving Sora's fate in the air. Sora agrees immediately, much to Ventus's horror.]]
* HollywoodToneDeaf: {{Implied|Trope}} by a conversation between Riku and Kairi.
-->'''Riku:''' Oh, c'mon, You know he's got the dorkiest singing voice.\\
'''Kairi:''' Well, okay. Maybe he could use a little more practice, but at least he tried.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: When he sees how close Kairi has grown with Riku over the course of the series, he wholeheartedly supports them. His insecurity from being a Heartless probably helped in this regard.
* NiceGuy
* SharingABody: As a Heartless, Ventus resides within him as a SpiritAdvisor.
* TheVoiceless: Sora is rendered mute as a Heartless and communicates with written notes. Aside from Ventus, only Nobodies or those with a connection to the darkness can hear him speak.

* TheDeterminator: Kairi is very much this. After losing her sword in the climax of ''Fragmented Truths'', she spouts this line [[spoiler:before summoning her Keyblade]].
-->I don't care what happens to me. I'm not stopping until Riku's safe. You could break my legs, and I'd still keep crawling!
* HeartSymbol: Her Keyblade Armor has a heart motif, courtesy of its [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles designer]].
-->Yes, when I learned you were a Princess of Heart, I was hit with an avalanche of inspiration! I simply had to go for something graceful, ''regal...''
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: As a Princess of Heart, her heart is devoid of darkness.
* ItsAllMyFault: Though she's aware of Riku's brash choices, Kairi feels guilt for inadvertently pushing him to doom their home by joking with Sora about leaving him behind.
-->I knew there was a reason why you opened that door, and for a while now, I've wondered if maybe I'm partially responsible for everything that's happened.
* NiceGirl
* PunchClockVillain: In Xiruk and Roxas's FakeMemories, Kairi was the "Fake's" accomplice, who was visibly unsettled when the "fake" stabbed 'Sora' with the Keyblade of Heart.
* TookALevelInBadass: Starting from ''Fragmented Truths'', Kairi begins training with a rapier and learning magic from Donald, eventually becoming a competent fighter in her own right. She summons her own Keyblade during [[spoiler:the climax of ''Fragmented Truths''.]]

-->Y'know what, [=DiZ=]? You're no model citizen yourself. All you do is shout and push away the people closest to ya.

->''"Yep. It's like I told Xigbar. I ''am'' Riku's replica, but that doesn't mean I can't be someone totally new."''
A Replica of the [[TheChosenOne Keybearer]] given a set of FakeMemories by Naminé. He initially believes himself to be the real Riku who had his life and identity stolen by a "Fake". After learning the truth and deserting the Organization with his friends, The Replica becomes a major ally to the heroes, eventually adopting the name 'Xiruk'.
-----
* AscendedExtra: In canon, Riku Replica only appears in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'' before being killed off, then [[BackForTheDead brought back]] and subsequently KilledOffForReal in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII''. In ''Antipode'', he survives past his HeelFaceTurn and becomes part of the EnsembleCast.
* AdaptationalBadass: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Like in canon, the Replica matches his real Riku in terms of combat prowness. However, due to Riku [[TheChosenOne inheriting the Keyblade as fate intended]], his Replica also wields a Keyblade.
* ArtificialHuman: A Replica of Riku created by Vexen.
* TheAtoner: Becomes this after his HeelFaceTurn, most notably when he returns to Hollow Bastion after having ransacked the place in ''Fragmented Truths''.
* AnIcePerson: Gains this ability after [[spoiler:killing Vexen]]. Though this comes off as an InformedAbility given that he isn't seen using it until the ClimaxBoss of ''All That's Left''.
* BigWhat: PlayedForLaughs. This is his reaction when he learns that [[WesternAnimation/Ducktales2017 Louie]] tried to buy [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} Geppetto's puppet son]].
* BerserkerTears: During his FinalBattle with Riku in Castle Oblivion.
* CharacterDevelopment: At first, the Replica despises the real Riku and wants to kill him and reclaim his identity. However, as the real Riku's kindness contradicts the "fake" in his memories, the Replica gradually begins to care for him.
* CloningBlues: After learning that the identity he fought so hard to reclaim wasn't actually his to begin with, the Replica undergoes an identity crisis.
* DeadpanSnarker: Well, he ''is'' Riku's Replica.
* FakeMemories: Courtesy of Naminé. His memories mirror those of Riku (with Naminé in place of Kairi) up until Hollow Bastion, where a "replica" of himself stabbed Sora with Keyblade of Heart, thereby turning him into a Nobody, before brainwashing Donald and Goofy into believing him to be the real Riku.
-->I've known the truth about my memories for almost a ''year,'' but no matter how hard I try, I just can't break away. I'll try talking about some of Riku's experiences, but the thing is, they still feel like ''my'' experiences, so when I tell those stories, I slip. And sometimes I forget that I wasn't there.
* FlatWhat: Though not spoken word-for-word, this is more-or-less his reaction to learning of the existence of a [[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} world inhabited by anthromorphic cars]].
* GreenEyedMonster: A sympathetic example. Due to his FakeMemories making him believe that the "fake" stole his identity, the Replica felt immense jealousy towards the real Riku. This died down once he learnt the truth.
** In light of the revelation that Xemnas [[spoiler:is really Terra, Xiruk was sickened when he learnt that despite having abused him and Naminé, Xemnas was nothing but kind towards a young ''[[JerkAss Zexion]]'' a decade earlier]].
* ThePromise: One of his most precious memories is his childhood promise to protect Naminé. Even after learning that it was a false memory she planted in his head, he holds on to that promise, as its all he has.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Adopts the name 'Xiruk' in ''The Year Between''.
* TheResenter: Towards the real Riku due to his false memories of him ruining his life. [[SubvertedTrope Gradually subverted]] when Riku begins to treat the Replica with kindness and the latter begins to consider him a friend. This dissipates entirely when he learns the truth.
* ThereCanOnlyBeOne: Believed himself to be the real Riku and Riku to be the Replica who stole his identity and Sora's heart. He spends the bulk of ''Fragmented Truths'' fighting to reclaim his identity from the "Fake" until he learnt that it was never his identity to begin with.
* TragicVillain: A Replica of Riku implanted with traumatic FakeMemories that led him to believe he lost everything at the hands of a "Fake". A victim of circumstance who in the end, just wanted to protect the things that matter.
* WhyCantIHateYou: As the real Riku's kindness directly contradicts the "fake" in the Replica's false memories, the Replica gradually grows fond of him.
* WouldHitAGirl: Initially, he's more-than-willing to attack Kairi despite the latter's inexperience with combat. {{Justified|Trope}} in that his FakeMemories led him to see her as an accomplice to the "Fake".

Sora's Nobody. On the Organization's orders, his memories are rewritten by Naminé to mold him into an accessory for Riku Replica. After learning the truth and deserting the Organization, he does some soul searching, eventually adopting the name "Roxas" to differentiate himself from Sora.
-----
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Due to his established friendship with the Replica and Naminé, Roxas only befriend Axel later on in his life (when the former is searching for Sora) and even then, they are more distant. Though he initially found Axel annoying, Roxas gradually grew to trust him, which made his betrayal hurt that much more.
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: As he retained his memories as Sora upon formation, Roxas initially refused to trust the Organization due to his memory of Maleficent's betrayal. Thus Naminé brainwashed him and gave him a shared set of FakeMemories with Riku Replica.
* AdaptationalNameChange: {{DoubleSubverted|Trope}}. He initially keeps the name 'Sora' but is commonly referred to as simply 'XIII'. Upon learning that the Organization originally intended to name him "Roxas", he adopts the name to set himself apart from Sora.
* AdaptationalWimp: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Though he retains his combat prowess, this iteration of Roxas does not wield a Keyblade.
* ClimaxBoss: Is fought in the [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan skies of London]] prior to the FinalBattle of ''Fragmented Truths''.
* CloningBlues: Much like the Replica, XIII initially believes himself to be the real Sora, currently unaware of the original's existence as a Heartless. XIII was lost upon learning the truth and leaves on his own to figure out who he is.
* CoolSword: Wields dual Soul Eaters.
* DarkIsNotEvil: In contrast to his canon counterpart, this iteration of Roxas wields dual Soul Eaters and utilizes pillars of [[CastingAShadow darkness]] in his attacks.
* FakeMemories: Shares a set of these with Riku Replica, in which the two of them were childhood friends with Naminé.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In canon, Roxas had no connection with Riku Replica and was an acquaintance of Naminé at most. Here, the three of them are childhood friends, according to his FakeMemories.

->''"Look, I'll be frank. I don't care about light or darkness. I'll walk my own path, even if that means bending the rules. I'll pave it with my own hands if I have to."''
The main [[TheProtagonist protagonist]] of ''Antipode''. Riku inherits the Keyblade as fate intended and inadvertently dooms his home in his desire to see something greater than his island life. A headstrong youth, Riku gradually learns to look past himself and grows into the hero the worlds need him to be.
-----
* AbusiveParents: {{Implied|Trope}}. Riku shivers when [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Elastigirl]] brings up the topic of his parents, and its implied that his lack of a healthy home life played a big factor in his eagerness to leave the islands. [[note]]It should be noted that the author wrote a separate ''Kingdom Hearts'' AU, titled ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13482073/1/Hurricane-Heartbeat Hurricane Heartbeat]]'' where this is indeed the case.[[/note]]
* AntiHero: Starts off a brash, arrogant and irresponsible youth, with his primary redeeming factor being his dedication to his friends. [[CharacterDevelopment He gets better.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: Initially, he cared little for his responsibilities as Keybearer, desiring only to explore new worlds and reunite with his friends. Seeing Pleasure Island fall to darkness was a wake-up call for him.
** At first, Riku viewed Donald and Goofy with disdain and used them as a free ticket to other worlds. As he saw how they stuck with him in spite of his recklessness and selfishness, he grew to value them as companions.
* TheChosenOne:
* CommonalityConnection: Riku quickly befriends Elsa over their shared struggles, namely with controlling their powers and running away from their friends in order to avoid hurting them.
* CoolBoard: His Keyblade Glider takes the form of a hoverboard.
* DarkIsNotEvil
* ForWantOfANail: The entire plot hinges on Riku obtaining the Keyblade as fate intended.
* IWillFindYou: The reason why Riku refuses to close the Door to Darkness is because Sora is missing.
* ThePromise: Promised to Kairi that if they find a way to bring back their world, he won't set foot on it until they find Sora.
-->If we find a way to bring back the worlds, I won't set foot on the islands again. Not until we find him. Home just wouldn't be the same unless we were all there together.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to [[WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet Silver]] after his betrayal.
-->You told Jim that you saw greatness in him. Said the same thing to me. We trusted you. Heck, I even kind of looked up to you. But, you're just another [[BitchInSheepsClothing Maleficent]].
* RefusedTheCall: Riku initially cared little for his responsibilities as Keybearer, desiring only to explore new worlds and find his friends. [[CharacterDevelopment He gets better.]]
* SadisticChoice: In the ending of ''The Antipode'', Riku has to choose between closing the Door to Darkness, thereby restoring the words at the cost of potentially never seeing Sora again, or leaving the Door open, thereby allowing the Heartless to roam free until they find Sora. He chooses the latter and much of the series explores the consequences and aftermath of this selfish decision.
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler: When a BrainwashedAndCrazy Elsa launches a blast of ice at her beloved sister Anna in a fit of rage, Riku shields her from the blow, having his heart frozen in the process.]]
* TrueCompanions: Riku and Elsa are this. Both being lost souls who isolated themselves from their friends and loved ones out of fear of hurting them, they find kindred spirits in each other almost immediately upon meeting. This is cemented when [[spoiler:Elsa directly threatens Xemnas on Riku's behalf.]] Overlaps with PlatonicLifePartners.

->''"No matter what happens to me, I'll always be there… in your hearts. If you think of me long enough and if you don't forget me… our hearts will be one. No amount of darkness is ever gonna change that."''
A close friend of Riku and Kairi and a spirited boy whose kindness is exploited by malicious forces. Despite becoming a Heartless, Sora retains both his sense of self and his dedication to his friends.
-----
* AdaptationalBadass: His Heartless form. The key difference is that Ansem told Sora ahead of time what would happen when he released Kairi's heart and urged him to embrace the darkness, purely out of curiosity for what would happen if someone so kind dove right in. Sora taking that plunge while clinging to his sense of self, coupled with Ven’s heart sticking with him allowed him to maintain a stronger Heartless form. As a Heartless, he reassembles Anti-Form with more expressive eyes and retains his magical prowess.
* CoolSword: Was given a Soul Eater by [[EvilMentor Maleficent]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: [[EvilMentor Maleficent]] gives Sora a Soul Eater and teaches him green fire magic, which he utilizes during his fight with Riku. Taken further when he becomes a Heartless.
* HeroicSacrifice: Is dangerously prone to this. Like in canon, Sora sacrifices his life to save Kairi and ends up losing his heart. He remains a Heartless for the rest of the series with only Ventus for company as a voice inside his head. When they are captured by the Organization in ''All That's Left'', [[spoiler:Xemnas offers to disable the tracking spell on Riku's sigil if they reawaken Ventus, leaving Sora's fate in the air. Sora agrees immediately, much to Ventus's horror.]]
* HollywoodToneDeaf: {{Implied|Trope}} by a conversation between Riku and Kairi.
-->'''Riku:''' Oh, c'mon, You know he's got the dorkiest singing voice.\\
'''Kairi:''' Well, okay. Maybe he could use a little more practice, but at least he tried.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: When he sees how close Kairi has grown with Riku over the course of the series, he wholeheartedly supports them. His insecurity from being a Heartless probably helped in this regard.
* NiceGuy
* SharingABody: As a Heartless, Ventus resides within him as a SpiritAdvisor.
* TheVoiceless: Sora is rendered mute as a Heartless and communicates with written notes. Aside from Ventus, only Nobodies or those with a connection to the darkness can hear him speak.

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: As a Princess of Heart, her heart is devoid of darkness.
* ItsAllMyFault: Though she's aware of Riku's brash choices, Kairi feels guilt for inadvertently pushing him to doom their home by joking with Sora about leaving him behind.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: You know you're a dick when ''[[NiceGuy Goofy]]'' gives you one of these, as [[JerkAss DiZ]] found out.
-->Y'know what, [=DiZ=]? You're no model citizen yourself. All you do is shout and push away the people closest to ya.

->''"Yep. It's like I told Xigbar. I ''am'' Riku's replica, but that doesn't mean I can't be someone totally new."''
A Replica of the [[TheChosenOne Keybearer]] given a set of FakeMemories by Naminé. He initially believes himself to be the real Riku who had his life and identity stolen by a "Fake". After learning the truth and deserting the Organization with his friends, The Replica becomes a major ally to the heroes, eventually adopting the name 'Xiruk'.
-----
* AscendedExtra: In canon, Riku Replica only appears in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'' before being killed off, then [[BackForTheDead brought back]] and subsequently KilledOffForReal in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII''. In ''Antipode'', he survives past his HeelFaceTurn and becomes part of the EnsembleCast.
* AdaptationalBadass: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Like in canon, the Replica matches his real Riku in terms of combat prowness. However, due to Riku [[TheChosenOne inheriting the Keyblade as fate intended]], his Replica also wields a Keyblade.
* ArtificialHuman: A Replica of Riku created by Vexen.
* TheAtoner: Becomes this after his HeelFaceTurn, most notably when he returns to Hollow Bastion after having ransacked the place in ''Fragmented Truths''.
* AnIcePerson: Gains this ability after [[spoiler:killing Vexen]]. Though this comes off as an InformedAbility given that he isn't seen using it until the ClimaxBoss of ''All That's Left''.
* BigWhat: PlayedForLaughs. This is his reaction when he learns that [[WesternAnimation/Ducktales2017 Louie]] tried to buy [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} Geppetto's puppet son]].
* BerserkerTears: During his FinalBattle with Riku in Castle Oblivion.
* CharacterDevelopment: At first, the Replica despises the real Riku and wants to kill him and reclaim his identity. However, as the real Riku's kindness contradicts the "fake" in his memories, the Replica gradually begins to care for him.
* CloningBlues: After learning that the identity he fought so hard to reclaim wasn't actually his to begin with, the Replica undergoes an identity crisis.
* DeadpanSnarker: Well, he ''is'' Riku's Replica.
* FakeMemories: Courtesy of Naminé. His memories mirror those of Riku (with Naminé in place of Kairi) up until Hollow Bastion, where a "replica" of himself stabbed Sora with Keyblade of Heart, thereby turning him into a Nobody, before brainwashing Donald and Goofy into believing him to be the real Riku.
-->I've known the truth about my memories for almost a ''year,'' but no matter how hard I try, I just can't break away. I'll try talking about some of Riku's experiences, but the thing is, they still feel like ''my'' experiences, so when I tell those stories, I slip. And sometimes I forget that I wasn't there.
* FlatWhat: Though not spoken word-for-word, this is more-or-less his reaction to learning of the existence of a [[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} world inhabited by anthromorphic cars]].
* GreenEyedMonster: A sympathetic example. Due to his FakeMemories making him believe that the "fake" stole his identity, the Replica felt immense jealousy towards the real Riku. This died down once he learnt the truth.
** In light of the revelation that Xemnas [[spoiler:is really Terra, Xiruk was sickened when he learnt that despite having abused him and Naminé, Xemnas was nothing but kind towards a young ''[[JerkAss Zexion]]'' a decade earlier]].
* ThePromise: One of his most precious memories is his childhood promise to protect Naminé. Even after learning that it was a false memory she planted in his head, he holds on to that promise, as its all he has.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Adopts the name 'Xiruk' in ''The Year Between''.
* TheResenter: Towards the real Riku due to his false memories of him ruining his life. [[SubvertedTrope Gradually subverted]] when Riku begins to treat the Replica with kindness and the latter begins to consider him a friend. This dissipates entirely when he learns the truth.
* ThereCanOnlyBeOne: Believed himself to be the real Riku and Riku to be the Replica who stole his identity and Sora's heart. He spends the bulk of ''Fragmented Truths'' fighting to reclaim his identity from the "Fake" until he learnt that it was never his identity to begin with.
* TragicVillain: A Replica of Riku implanted with traumatic FakeMemories that led him to believe he lost everything at the hands of a "Fake". A victim of circumstance who in the end, just wanted to protect the things that matter.
* WhyCantIHateYou: As the real Riku's kindness directly contradicts the "fake" in the Replica's false memories, the Replica gradually grows fond of him.
* WouldHitAGirl: Initially, he's more-than-willing to attack Kairi despite the latter's inexperience with combat. {{Justified|Trope}} in that his FakeMemories led him to see her as an accomplice to the "Fake".

->''"Why do I look and sound this way? What does it mean? I wanna know who I am, but every time I think I come closer to understanding, something always sets me two steps back."''
Sora's Nobody. On the Organization's orders, his memories are rewritten by Naminé to mold him into an accessory for Riku Replica. After learning the truth and deserting the Organization, he does some soul searching, eventually adopting the name "Roxas" to differentiate himself from Sora.
-----
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Due to his established friendship with the Replica and Naminé, Roxas only befriend Axel later on in his life (when the former is searching for Sora) and even then, they are more distant. Though he initially found Axel annoying, Roxas gradually grew to trust him, which made his betrayal hurt that much more.
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: As he retained his memories as Sora upon formation, Roxas initially refused to trust the Organization due to his memory of Maleficent's betrayal. Thus Naminé brainwashed him and gave him a shared set of FakeMemories with Riku Replica.
* AdaptationalNameChange: {{DoubleSubverted|Trope}}. He initially keeps the name 'Sora' but is commonly referred to as simply 'XIII'. Upon learning that the Organization originally intended to name him "Roxas", he adopts the name to set himself apart from Sora.
* AdaptationalWimp: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Though he retains his combat prowess, this iteration of Roxas does not wield a Keyblade.
* ClimaxBoss: Is fought in the [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan skies of London]] prior to the FinalBattle of ''Fragmented Truths''.
* CloningBlues: Much like the Replica, XIII initially believes himself to be the real Sora, currently unaware of the original's existence as a Heartless. XIII was lost upon learning the truth and leaves on his own to figure out who he is.
* CoolSword: Wields dual Soul Eaters.
* DarkIsNotEvil: In contrast to his canon counterpart, this iteration of Roxas wields dual Soul Eaters and utilizes pillars of [[CastingAShadow darkness]] in his attacks.
* FakeMemories: Shares a set of these with Riku Replica, in which the two of them were childhood friends with Naminé.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In canon, Roxas had no connection with Riku Replica and was an acquaintance of Naminé at most. Here, the three of them are childhood friends, according to his FakeMemories.
* WhatTheHellHero: Is ''furious'' when Aqua [[spoiler:[[SaveTheVillain saves Xemnas' life]] for sentimental reasons]].

->''"It's true. I… never lived on Destiny Islands. I never saw the waves or the sunset or shooting stars… All the memories we shared together were pretend. Just a tragic lie…"''
Kairi's Nobody, born when Kairi's heart was freed from Sora's after he turned into a Heartless. She has the unusual ability to rewrite the memories of others, which the Organization exploits, forcing her to manipulate Riku Replica and XIII for their own purposes.
-----

* BackstoryInvader: Gave both the Replica and XIII's a set of FalseMemories and made them believe her to be there childhood best friend.
* BreakTheCutie: Is reduced to a sobbing wreck after Xemnas orders her to force the Replica into relieving his traumatic FakeMemories in Castle Oblivion.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Feels ''awful'' for manipulating the Replica and XIII at the behest of the Organization, but does so out of fear for what may happen should she refuse.

->''"It's not your fault, okay? Sometimes it's just rough. I used to be a Keybearer, but now I'm just a spectator. All I can really do is talk, and it's not like anyone can hear me besides you and Aqua…"''
A spirited young Keybearer who resides within Sora's heart. Ventus served as a guiding light for Sora when he became a Heartless and kept him company as a voice in his head.
-----
* NiceGuy: Cheerful and kindhearted; Sora couldn't have asked for a more pleasant companion to share a body with.

->''"Honestly, it's still hard to shake that mindset. My entire life, I've trained to fight for the greater good. And before I fell to the Darkness, everything was so different. Sure, there were threats to the worlds, but nothing that could ''destroy'' them. And there were walls keeping them apart. Preserving the balance…"''
A Keyblade Master, back in action after a decade of solitude in the Realm of Darkness. She makes her debut in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9548320/1/Antipode-The-Year-Between The Year Between]]''.
-----
* ActionGirl: Hasn't lost her edge even after ten years in the Realm of Darkness.
* TheDogBitesBack: {{Deconstructed|Trope}} during Act 3's Castle Oblivion Arc. [[spoiler:When Terra/Xemnas guilt-trips her with a manipulative tour of his past memories, Aqua returns the favour by showing him her side of the story, exposing all her trauma from her time in the Realm of Darkness and leaving her own student Xiruk shaken.]]
* {{Foil}}: To [[VideoGame/BravelyDefault Ringabel]]. The former is a flamboyant, self-appointed hero with no special powers in contrast to Aqua; a semi-serious warrior raised by ancient tradition to protect the worlds. Ringabel's antics bring some much-needed levity into Aqua's life.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Bakes cookies for the Grandship refugees in the Side Story ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9550324/13/Antipode-Side-Stories A Heartfelt Holiday]].''
* HeroicSacrifice: During the battle with Hades, Aqua offers to hold back the Titans to allow the others to escape.
* ItsAllMyFault: Blames herself for the worlds falling to darkness in her absence. She's very forgiving towards Riku for his decision to leave the Door to Darkness open, as she feels she should've been there to guide the boy and share his struggles.
-->I couldn't be there when your worlds were in peril. But I should have. Instead, I spent the last ''decade'' lost in the Realm of Darkness while your homes were consumed by the Heartless. All because my best friend lost his body to a ''madman.'' All because I had hope that he'd break free. All because I… I sacrificed myself, and it wasn't enough. So please, if there's ''anything'' I can do to make it up to you… if there's any way I can bring you all hope, just—
** Aqua also feels immense guilt for pushing Terra away during the events of ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth By Sleep]]'', [[spoiler:thereby contributing to his fall from grace]].
* LuminescentBlush: Whenever [[ChivalrousPervert Ringabel]] flirts with her.
* TheMentor: Serves as this to Kairi, Xiruk and Riku, teaching a new generation of Keyblade Wielders.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Unlike [[spoiler:Terra]], Aqua hasn't aged a day due to being trapped in the Realm of Darkness for a decade and is physically 19 despite being in her 30s.
* PartingWordsRegret: Aqua deeply regrets her words to Terra prior to the climax of ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth By Sleep]]'', especially [[spoiler:when she learns what has become of him]].
-->You'll go astray again...
* SaveTheVillain: Prior to the climax of ''The Year Between'', a wounded Aqua saves Xemnas's life. {{Justified|Trope}} as she saw a glimmer of Terra within him.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to [[spoiler:Terra/Xemnas in response to the latter's manipulation in Castle Oblivion]].
-->[[spoiler:You believed all this time that I had no faith in you. That I doubted you once, so I’d doubt you forever. I ''loved'' you, Terra. And I trusted you would win. I gave up ''everything'' because I ''believed'' in you. That’s why, for all the hell I went through in the Realm of Darkness…nothing hurt me more than the day I learned what you’d become.]]
* TrueCompanions: With [[VideoGame/BravelyDefault Ringabel]]. Both confide in each other over their shared burdens as well as providing outside perspectives on each other's individual struggles.
