MAIN CHARACTERS

SORA
"I don't need a weapon! My friends are my power!"
"The darkness may destroy my body, but it can't touch my heart."
"Although my heart may be weak, it's not alone."

Description: A young boy and the hero of this tale. A boy chosen by the Keyblade, a mysterious weapon. In his last adventure, Sora journeyed with Donald and Goofy in search of his longtime friend Kairi, who had been spirited away into darkness. In the end, they saved the world of all worlds from the darkness that was closing in. Then, somewhere along the way, Sora fell into a deep slumber. Now that he is awake, he can't recall why he fell asleep to begin with.

DONALD DUCK

"Confounded Heartless! Get lost will ya?"

The Royal Court Magician. Last time, Donald left Disney Castle with Goofy to search for King Mickey. During that quest, they met Sora and became fast friends. After they helped Sora save the worlds from darkness, Donald and Goofy continued their search for King Mickey, who had decided to stay behind in the realm of darkness. But before they could find the King, the three friends were plunged into a deep sleep.

GOOFY

"All for one and one for all!"

Captain of the Royal Knights. Last time, Goofy left Disney Castle with Donald in search of King Mickey. Along the way, they joined Sora, obeying the King's command to "follow the Keybearer." After helping save the worlds from darkness, Goofy continued his quest to find the King. But like Donald and Sora, he fell into a deep slumber before he could finish his quest. What had Goofy been up to before he feel asleep?

KING MICKEY

"Helping others comes before asking others for help."

The King, His Highness, Your Highness, Your Majesty, King of Disney Castle. King Mickey is a recurring character, and, along with Donald and Goofy, the main Disney protagonist in the Kingdom Hearts series. He travels the worlds battling the forces of darkness and is the chosen Keyblade wielder for the Realm of Darkness, though he follows the path of light. Originally believing that the darkness had to be eliminated, he eventually realized that light and darkness are interdependent and cannot exist without the other due to his encounters with Riku.

KAIRI

"Don't ever forget. Wherever you go, I'm always with you."

Kairi is one of the seven princess of heart, and friends with Sora and Riku. In the first game, her heart is seperated from her body and enters Sora's. In order to revive her, Sora gives up his heart and becomes a nobody and creates Roxas in the process. Kairi is able to restore Sora to his human form, and as the worlds are reforming, Kairi is seperated from Sora, as she waits for his return on Destiny Island. Due to the powers of Namine, Kairi loses her memories of Sora, but as he starts to awaken from his sleep, Kairi begins to remember.

RIKU

"Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. We may never see our parents again. There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!"

Riku is Sora and Kairi's best friend. Under the influence of Maleficent, Riku turns on Sora, and embraces the darkness to aide him in his search for Kairi. Eventually, he becomes overtaken by Xenahort's Heartless, and Riku's Heart is sent to the realm of Darkness. In Chain of Memories, he confronts the Darkness in his heart. Riku finds balance between the light and darkness in his heart, and later dons the Organizations atire to capture Roxas to make Sora complete again. In doing so, he uses his dark powers which cause him to take on the physical appearance of Xenahort's heartless.
