Kingdom Hearts

Ah yes, the Happy Ending Override

Probably has something to do with the unusual way Sora became a Heartless, and/or Kairi restoring him to human form.

Axel seemed to start out with all of Lea's memories.

Not that we get to see Axel being formed. Roxas is the only newborn Nobody we closely follow.

They are pretty ambiguous on whether Namine has Kairi's memories or not too.

You'll also notice that (if I remember correctly) Axel and Lea's personalities are almost exactly the same, while Roxas and Xion have their own distinct personalties (they're more brooding, for instance ). That's probably important somehow, and I don't think it can be totally explained away by amnesia.

...You mean when they outright state that she doesn't?

This is a bizarre definition of ambiguity I have never before encountered.

They do? Was it in Ansem's Secret Report? I can't for the life of me remember when

The Heartless in question was Sora's but whatever.

Naminé doesn't have Kairi's memories.

Ahhh, Ansem's Secret Report?

Namine's such an odd duck isn't she.

Rinoa!

goofy no

This made me cry. Now you all will experience my pain.

Kairi moments.

Home and where the heart is.

And the winner is...

That one link definitely struck me as the kind of arc I wanted to with Kairi in a fanfiction I'm writing.

The answer to the question "Who am I?" could be many things, thought at the Despair Event Horizon, she would say "nothing".

Last one made me laugh.

Though I will say I do want Lea and Isa to make up. But only after Xion lays a beatdown on him.

Pink is so not her colour.

I definitely thought purple and white suited her more. But I also think they needed to tone down the black on Sora's outfit.

How does purple and black sound?

Sounds like it might look a bit dreary on Kairi.

Imagining costume... and now it's on my KH 3 wishlist.

Though I'd want more purple and less black.

Kairi: "During my year of solitude on Destiny Islands, I wrote several poems on the subject of the endless sea and how it relates to the human condition. Spoilers: it's about hopelessness."

"Strongest person on Destiny Islands."

Is there a particular reason you're sharing that now?

The universe still exists.

No more.

Arguments that don't exist. Illusions.

Overdue.

Forget the balance.

The laws of the universe mean nothing.

I swear that link has been shared like four times.

And I'm going to keep sharing it! Don't like it? Tough!

The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed.

Axel and Lea are, for all intents and purposes, the same person. When Lea lost his heart, Axel still had all his memories and abilities, and built his persona on that. Then he slowly developed a heart over the course of Days. After he was destroyed and then reunited with his heart as Lea, he had his Axel memories as well and didn't change that much. Well, Lea in 3D is more of a dork and generally more friendly than Axel, but the differences are minimal. More to the point, Lea and Axel never coexisted.

Now, the whole clusterfuck that is Roxas and Namine's creations (with some Ventus thrown in for good measure) is something we've never really had explained, but it's hard to seriously argue that Roxas is Sora in all but a metaphysical sense. Roxas is born without memories or even a personality, and he slowly becomes his own person throughout Days — a person who is very different from Sora. Considering he developed a personality as he created bonds with his fellow Organization members, it's entirely possible that he was indeed created without a heart as most Nobodies are and grew one, but most clues hint that he had a heart all along, no less because he looks exactly like Ventus.

And at any rate, Roxas existed separate from Sora. They were even ambulatory at the same time, for some three weeks or so. If Roxas were a regular Nobody, this shouldn't be possible. What I'm getting at is that it's pretty hard to argue that Sora and Roxas are the same person in the same way that Axel and Lea are.

Chille.
