* DrivingQuestion: Their identity is seemingly the key to understanding the plot, so naturally the story continuously dances around outright name-dropping, instead providing StoryBreadcrumbs. The finale reveals [[spoiler:Luxu is the traitor.]]

* CatSmile: Her default expression.

** Manipulate Xehanort into starting a second Keyblade War. He succeeded.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is Ephemera in the Japanese dub.

** The finale of ''Union χ'' is this for spades regarding Brain's final fate. [[spoiler:Not only does it heavily imply that Luxu took over his body, becoming the latter's first ever vessel, but Brain was also seemingly thrown into the future, landing into Scala ad Caelum (the rebuilt Daybreak Town) and having no evidence that he had his body hijacked whatsoever (which makes sense since Luxu is not meant to travel in time, following his master's orders). The conversation the two have implies that, rather than simply perform a GrandTheftMe, Luxu offered Brain a DealWithTheDevil in order to save his life in exchange for his body. However, the full implications of this, as well as the means by which to carry this deal out, remain a mystery.]]

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Ava put this notion into his mind, but he does go along with it however as he decides to view the previous rules to be unnecessary if they don't serve the well-being of the Dandelions.

* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: WordOfGod for ''Back Cover'' is that he created his own Keyblades, using his knowledge of the X-Blade to draw them out from hearts, rather than forging or tempering them. This would presumably make him the ultimate source of all Keyblades in the series thus far, with the exception of the X-Blade itself.

* BlackSheep: Lambstar [Black] is literally one of these.

[[caption-width-right:250:''"'May your heart be your guiding key.' [[{{Catchphrase}} I say it all the time!]] You ultimately need to do what your heart feels is right."'']]

* {{Catchphrase}}: His personal motto, "May your heart be your guiding key." He admits that he says it all the time, and repeats it to every one of his students after giving them their roles.

** His {{Catchphrase}} ''"May your heart be your guiding key."'' takes on a whole new, darker meaning if one pays attention in Back Cover: He only ''specifically'' says that to them ''after'' he's sewn doubt in them. He instills paranoia, then encourages them to act on it in a very roundabout way by telling to do what they think is best. End result? The Foretellers fall apart as a group.

* {{Catchphrase}}: The Darknesses uses an specific line to inform or mock the other characters with the futility of attempting to destroy them:

* CallForward: [[spoiler:He drops his future vessel Xigbar's [[CatchPhrase "As if!"]] in a flashback with Baldr, and later muses that Xehanort shows promise.]]

* NecessarilyEvil: The Secret Reports in ''III'' reveal that in any timeline where the Master of Masters ''doesn't'' start the Keyblade War, a greater darkness appears and destroys everything.
** [[spoiler: A conversation with ''Darkness'' reveals that he basically came to the world specifically to end it, to plant the seeds of light for a future generation capable of defeating the forces of darkness.]]

* AmbiguouslyEvil: Although in contrast to other antagonists in the series, the Foretellers seem to be more blindfully misguided in their attempt to protect the world from darkness due to lack of details and explanation from the Master of Masters (who himself is AmbiguouslyEvil), causing them to conflict over what they believe is the best course of action. At the very least, they're all {{Knight Templar}}s. Ava is an exception to that because she starts questioning and defying the Master’s orders, asks herself whether the Foretellers are in the right or not and even [[HazyFeelTurn ends up]] [[TokenGoodTeammate becoming the]] BigGood later on via CharacterDevelopment, but even then, she was blindly following the Master too at first.

** Invi: Serpent's Illusion: Barrage of ElementalPowers attacks, [[PlayingWithFire fire,]] [[BlowYouAway wind,]] [[AnIcePerson ice,]] [[ShockAndAwe and lightning]], in that order.

** [[spoiler:Darkness VIII found a time-displaced Maleficent stuck in the Datascape and guided her to the Lifepod Room where it joined her to the real world, then saw her off as she returned to the future. As it attempted to find out more of the Master's Data, it came across Luxu sending off the "True Dandelion" and had a confrontation with him. It's status is unknown, but Luxu notes that it no longer exists]].
** [[spoiler:Darkness IX-XII remained in hiding for most of the time the Dandelions were in the Data World, only sending out Darklings to find their missing compatriot once a rouge dataworld connected with Data-Daybreak Town (Game Central Station), where they were rejoin and infect all connected dataworlds with Darkness. It's only thanks to the Player having a final gambit where he managed to trick Ephemer into sealing them and the Darknesses behind a gate leading to the connected Lane Between. Once Player revealed their ruse, they sealed the other end, dooming these four Darknesses to waste away as their current forms would erode their egos into nothingness]].
** [[spoiler:Darkness XIII is the one who killed Streletzia and possessed Ventus, revealing that it and the others read parts of the Book of Prophecies to see their roles. It's revealed that it was prepared to permanently alter itself by joining with Ventus, whereupon it was further altered by Ven in his final attempt to seal it inside himself. It's implied by Master Xehanort that he knows Vanitas is more than Ventus' extracted darkness, and that there was more to itself than it let on]].

* DidntSeeThatComing: Darkness are so omniscient, ever-present, and such masters of guile and subtle cunning that they outright can't comprehend that anyone else is capable of the same. [[spoiler:When Player tricks them into trapping themselves inside the datascape cage, they completely ''lose it.'']]

* HeroKiller: Was the one who murdered Strelitzia and tricked Ventus into taking her place.

* TagalongKid: Owing to the ongoing rule that TeensAreShort, he appears to be the youngest of the Foretellers, alongside Ava.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YumeMiyamoto (Japanese), Creator/IsabelaMoner (English)

* InsistentTerminology: The Keyblade he received from the Master actually never had a name, but Luxu enthusiastically called it the Gazing Eye before the Master tells him ''"[[LittleNo nah]]"''. After that, he calls it the No Name - the Keyblade's official name.[[note]] "No Name" is the name of the keyblade/keychain acquired from defeating [[BonusBoss Young Xehanort]] in the Final Mix version of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'', though ''that'' one doesn't closely resemble the one Master Xehanort uses.[[/note]]

* WarmUpBoss: As Dark Inferno χ (again, assuming that it's not just a monster conjured by Darkness), the first boss of the [=Re:Mind=] DLC, easing players back into the game which they may have not touched in quite some time. Ironically, it's considerably easier than the original [[BonusBoss Dark Inferno]].

* PeekABangs: Not that his eyes are visible beneath the brim of his hat anyway, but his right eye is covered by his hair as well.

* {{Keigo}}: While she's talking to Lauriam, she's using this. Quite a contrast from her [[{{Jerkass}} Nobody self.]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The Foretellers aren't just Keyblade Masters, they're ''the'' Keyblade Masters. As in, the originals. And as expected, they are the toughest bosses in the game outside event raid bosses. Fully expect them to be able to take you down in one hit when you face them in Quest 555, 675, and the Keyblade War. For reference, when they battle the player in the opening stages of the Keyblade War, they simply remark that you're a remarkably strong Keyblade Wielder, implying that they weren't even going all out against you, before moving on while you keel over out of exhaustion.

* SevenDeadlySins: Aced is short for ''acedia'' (sloth). Might be another case of the Master's twisted sense of humor, and Aced embodies pretty much all sins ''but'' sloth - he is impulsive, angry, wrathful, and goes all-out on everything he does.

The enigmatic master of the Foretellers. Laid back, rather unprofessional, and overall just a little bit of a {{manchild}}, he is regardless the oldest and most powerful known Keyblade Master (although he himself claims there were others before him), and his six pupils dutifully follow his teachings. He possesses an eye that can see the future, and using it created the Book of Prophecies, a tome that predicts events to come, including TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.

His motives and identity are shrouded in mystery, and his methods seem to be at odds with his stated intentions: he claims his interests are defending the worlds from darkness and seeing Keyblade wielders proliferate through them to protect them, yet he helped nudge along Xehanort's StartOfDarkness and set in motion the events that caused the first Keyblade War, and he did these things knowing what the results would be. Suffice to say, he's a [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] playing on a much higher level than anyone can conceive, even his own apprentices.

* BigBad: Much like how Xehanort was the primary villain of the "Dark Seeker Saga", Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed that the Master - and to a lesser extent his apprentices - would be the main antagonistic force of the "Lost Masters Saga."

* TheDragon: While Luxu is the Sixth apprentice of the Master of Masters, he's by far the closest, and the only one to know what's inside the [[MacGuffin Master of Master's box]]. He is also the one tasked with passing down the Master of Master's keyblade, No Name, to form a MasterAndApprenticeChain.

* NoPronunciationGuide: Her name is pronounced AH-va, not AY-va.

* TheChick: She's easily the most charismatic and friendly Foreteller.
