Ventus

Line 42:

Unfortunately, the process left Ventus in a comatose state, with his broken heart of pure light slowly fading out. Master Xehanort, disguised in a [[black coat]], then took Ventus to the [[Destiny Islands]] to allow him to live out his last days peacefully. Ventus was sent to the Dive to the Heart, where he came in contact with the heart of a newborn Sora. After a brief discussion, Ventus's heart connected with Sora's, halting its deterioration and allowing Ven to stay alive until he someday becomes strong enough to repair the damage by himself. Ventus then summoned a Keyblade and shot a ray of light into the sky above, much to Master Xehanort's surprise. Xehanort decided that Ventus could still be of use in his master plan, but with Ventus still too weak in comparison to Vanitas, the two boys could not be trained under him since Vanitas had a naturally strong impulse to destroy Ventus.

[[File:Flashback The Wooden Keyblade 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|left|200px|Ventus with Terra and Aqua.]]

To prevent this, Xehanort brought Ventus to Land of Departure, where he could train as an apprentice to Master Eraqus. Terra and Aqua met Ventus with open arms. However, when Terra asked Ventus about his past, he screamed out in agony, eventually falling unconscious. Eraqus revealed that this was because Ven had lost his memories. Afterwards, he remained asleep for some time. As he slept, Aqua kept watch over him, to keep him safe. Some time later, Ven woke up. Overjoyed, Aqua quickly alerted Eraqus and a worried Terra about Ven's recovery.

~~[[File:Flashback The Wooden Keyblade 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|left|200px|Ventus with Terra and Aqua.]]~~

It was then that his heart began to heal and he started to form strong bonds of friendship with Terra and Aqua. During a training session, Ventus loses humiliatingly, but Terra and Aqua reassure Ven that he was getting stronger. As time went on, Terra and Ven grew close, forming a strong bond. Terra even went so far as to give Ven his wooden training Keyblade and recite a mock [[Bequeathing]] ceremony. Together, the three of them shared the same dream: to become Keyblade Masters.

Later, in the [[Castle of Dreams]], Ven befriends [[Jaq]] and [[Cinderella]]. Though Terra isn't there, Ven still lends a hand, helping gather supplies for Cinderella's dress, and even facing [[Lucifer]]. When the dress is complete, Cinderella thanks Jaq and Ventus, and the two talk about their dreams. It's at this point that Ven decides that his dream is to become a Keyblade Master; the dream he and his friends all share.

[[File:Peas in a Pod KHBBS.png|200px|right|thumb|Ventus meets Mickey.]]

While in [[Enchanted Dominion]], Ven gets another clue regarding Terra. After freeing Princess [[Aurora]]'s heart, Ven encounters [[Maleficent]]. Maleficent reveals that Terra helped steal Aurora's heart, but Aqua arrives just in time to convince Ven otherwise. She then asks Ven to go home with her, but he refuses, remembering the cryptic warning left by Vanitas.

~~[[File:Peas in a Pod KHBBS.png|200px|right|thumb|Ventus meets Mickey.]]~~

Ven encounters Vanitas again after leaving Enchanted Dominion, and he follows him straight to the Keyblade Graveyard. There, Ven tries to get some answers out of Vanitas, who simply restates what he said before: that Terra will be gone forever. The two battle, but Vanitas easily outmatches Ven and nearly kills him. [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] arrives in time to save Ven and assists him in his battle against Vanitas. Upon his defeat, Vanitas tells Ventus that he is on probation and disappears, leaving Ven and Mickey alone. The two introduce themselves to one another, and Mickey tells Ven about how the [[Star Shard]] allows him to travel to different worlds. However, Mickey remains unaware of all of its secrets.

Shortly after, the Star Shard sends them both to [[Radiant Garden]], and Ven tries to follow Mickey, only to be intercepted by [[Aeleus]] and [[Dilan]]. After spying an Unversed, Ven gives up his search for Mickey and instead trails after the monster. He's interrupted several times, by [[Scrooge McDuck]], who gives him lifetime passes to [[Disney Town]], and [[Merlin]], who tells him of the book to the [[100 Acre Wood]].

[[File:Walls of the Heart 02 KHBBS.png|200px|thumb|left|Ventus holding the Disney Town passes.]]

Eventually, he does find the Unversed he was chasing, as well as Terra and Aqua. Together, they face the [[Trinity Armor]], but after its defeat, things change for the worse. First, Aqua tries to tell Ven to go home, and then she and Terra get into a fight regarding the darkness and Eraqus's intentions. The whole time, Ven is left completely confused, as he'd never seen his friends bicker in such a way. In the end, he tells Aqua that she's let being a Master go to her head, and he leaves to find Terra again. His search is interrupted again, when he spots [[Ienzo]] being attacked by the Unversed. Without any hesitation, Ventus protects the boy and defeats his attackers. [[Even]] arrives shortly after and thanks Ventus for his help. Then, when asked about Terra's location, he tells Ven to look in the Outer Gardens.

Line 73:

It doesn't take long for Ven to find companions, as he quickly meets [[Zack]] and [[Hercules]] in [[Olympus Coliseum]]. After stopping an Unversed threat, Ven finally comes to understand what it means to be friends, and realizes that he, Terra, and Aqua will patch things up someday.

[[File:Finding Mickey 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|200px|right|Ventus is taken to meet Yen Sid at the Mysterious Tower.]]

Eventually, Ventus finds Mickey's Star Shard in [[Neverland]], only to have it stolen, along with [[Tinker Bell]], by [[Captain Hook]]. He teams up with [[Peter Pan]] and the Lost Boys to defeat Captain Hook. Afterwards, Ventus, along with Peter and the Lost Boys, decide to put their own personal treasures in the empty chest they stole from Hook. As the Wooden Keyblade holds many cherished memories for Ven, he puts it in the chest, believing his best memories with Terra and Aqua are still to come. With Hook out of the way, he also retrieves the Star Shard from Tinker Bell after a little persuasion from Peter, only to be whisked away to the [[Mysterious Tower]].

~~[[File:Finding Mickey 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|200px|right|Ventus at the Mysterious Tower.]]~~

Upon his arrival, Ven meets [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]], who take him to speak with [[Yen Sid]]. Ven is informed that Mickey went missing, but when Yen Sid uses his magic to find him, they discover that the King is in danger. Determined to save Mickey, Ven departs from the Tower and returns to the Keyblade Graveyard to find him.

[[File:Former Master 01 KHBBS.png|200px|thumb|left|Xehanort reveals his plans for Ventus.]]

However, he also encounters Master Xehanort, who was waiting for his arrival, and reveals Ven's destiny to forge the [[χ-blade]]. He tells Ven that this is the real reason why he was never allowed to leave home and constantly told to return, out of fear for the χ-blade's creation.

[[File:Kingdom Hearts 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|200px|Ventus frozen by Xehanort.]]

During their final battle at the Keyblade Graveyard, Master Xehanort encases Ven in ice and throws him off a cliff. Aqua manages to catch him before he hits the ground. [[Braig]] quickly appears and fights Aqua. Stalling long enough, Braig withdraws from the battle. Vanitas knocks out Aqua as he drops down from a cliff. Before the enigma can finish her off, Ventus uses all of his willpower to thaw out of his frozen state and encounters Vanitas. Ven then fights Vanitas and seemingly emerges victorious. After the battle, Vanitas reveals his true intentions and explains that the Unversed came from his own emotions and negativity. Trapping Ven with several [[Flood]]s, Vanitas merges with Ventus and takes over his body.

Aqua later places his body in [[Chambers of Repose and Waking|a chamber]] and transforms the Land of Departure into [[Castle Oblivion]]. Though Ventus's heart was initially lost in darkness, Sora was able to sense Ventus's pain due to their previous encounter. Sora, with encouragement and guidance from Riku, called out to Ventus's heart and safely guides it to himself. After a brief conversation, Ven asks Sora if he could stay with Sora while he slept, to which Sora happily accepted. With this, his heart passes on into Sora's body, keeping it from deteriorating any further and granting Sora the ability to use Ventus's Keyblade in addition to his own.<ref>'''20 Mysteries of ''Kingdom Hearts'' (Pgs 16-22, ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania'')'''; '''Q4: Why can Roxas dual-wield?'''/'''A:''' Because he can use both Sora's and Ventus's Keyblades. Sora can wield two Keyblades at once because he has Ventus's as well as his own. As Roxas is a part of Sora, he also can use two. In ''Days'', Roxas awakened his ability to dual wield after fighting Xion. In ''KHII'' once Sora absorbs him, he can also dual-wield.</ref>

Ventus bears an uncanny resemblance to [[Roxas]], bearing identical facial features. Further highlighting this resemblance is Ventus's outfit, which is strikingly similar to Roxas's own [[Twilight Town]] clothes. He wears a jacket that resembles a fusion of Roxas's jacket (white on the right side) and Sora's jacket in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' (black on the left side), also reminiscent of the Yin and Yang symbol. The collar of the jacket is red and pleated, again, similar to the collar on Roxas's own jacket. Underneath this, he wears what appears to be a grey vest with a single button and several white, angular patterns on it. He wears a third layer under this, in the form of a plain, high-necked, black shirt. He also has a chunk of dull green and grey armor on his midsection that appears to be under his vest, and another piece of armor on his left shoulder.

Ventus's pants are also similar to the pants Roxas wore, though Ven's balloon outward slightly before closing up about halfway down his legs, similar to caprice pants. These pants are colored in shades of grey, black, and white. He also wears an ornate, dull green and grey piece of armor on his upper-left arm, along with a black and white checkered wristband that is, once again, strikingly similar to Roxas's, but with white edges as opposed to Roxas's black-edged wristband. Like Aqua, he wears two criss-crossing straps on his chest, on which he wears a silver Keyblade Master emblem. His boots are rather odd when compared to Aqua's and Terra's, as they resemble an armored version of normal street shoes in shades of dull green and grey.

His boots are rather odd when compared to Aqua's and Terra's, as they resemble an armored version of normal street shoes in shades of dull green and grey.

Ventus's mannerisms are also echoed by Sora and Roxas; in particular, when standing around he often places his hands behind his head, in the same stance that Sora uses. Another example is in the opening video; Ventus is shown falling through a Station of the [[Dive to the Heart]] due to the [[Kingdom Key]] and [[Soul Eater]] shattering the pillar, in a similar way to how Sora and Roxas fall from shattered Stations at the beginning of their games. At the beginning of his episode at the Land of Departure, Ventus falls asleep outside after watching a shooting star, and a little while later, he yawns, and then is startled to find Aqua standing over him, who giggles upon his reaction and teases him affectionately, mirroring how [[Kairi]] startled Sora awake in the original ''Kingdom Hearts''.

When touching the piece of armor on his shoulder, Ventus becomes fully clad in [[Keyblade Armor|armor]]. In ''{{c|Birth by Sleep|video}}'', Ventus's suit of armor shares the coloration of the pieces he normally wears, predominantly sporting shades of green and gold. In this suit, Ventus adds a yellow cape to his outfit that is discolored, almost appearing rusted. The armor on his knee is gold and bears a sharp, upward-pointing hook on the outer side of each one. Ventus's helmet has a notably different design from Aqua and Terra's, appearing more squashed and flat at the top. His helmet also has two prongs on either side of his head which point backwards and angle diagonally upward. Strangely, Ventus's boots are colored completely gold in this outfit, as opposed to the multi-colored ones he normally wears. In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Ventus's armor is altered. He loses his cape, his boots change to more closely resemble those in his unarmored state, and the coloration changes much more than Terra or Aqua's. Ventus's armor loses the greens entirely, now sporting steel blue, gold, and black armor, with several red lines decorating it.

==Personality==

Line 163:

Line 156:

He also makes new friends easily in different worlds and cares deeply about Terra and Aqua. Ventus is very much unable to cope with Terra turning and subsiding to the darkness in his heart. Some of his traits and personality might have passed on to Sora when his heart joined him. Along with his kind personality, he also shows a lot of bravery, especially evident when he battles Vanitas for the final time, where he promises to fight for his friends no matter what, knowing the fact that he would lose his heart as a result.

Ventus's mannerisms are also echoed by Sora and Roxas; in particular, when standing around he often places his hands behind his head, in the same stance that Sora uses.

Strangely, Ventus's boots are colored completely gold in this outfit, as opposed to the multi-colored ones he normally wears. In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Ventus's armor is altered. He loses his cape, his boots change to more closely resemble those in his unarmored state, and the coloration changes much more than Terra or Aqua's. Ventus's armor loses the greens entirely, now sporting steel blue, gold, and black armor, with several red lines decorating it.

 He also makes new friends easily in different worlds and cares deeply about Terra and Aqua. Ventus is very much unable to cope with Terra turning and subsiding to the darkness in his heart. Some of his traits and personality might have passed on to Sora when his heart joined him. Along with his kind personality, he also shows a lot of bravery, especially evident when he battles Vanitas for the final time, where he promises to fight for his friends no matter what, knowing the fact that he would lose his heart as a result.
+Ventus's mannerisms are also echoed by Sora and Roxas; in particular, when standing around he often places his hands behind his head, in the same stance that Sora uses. Another example is in the opening video; Ventus is shown falling through a Station of the [[Dive to the Heart]] due to the [[Kingdom Key]] and [[Soul Eater]] shattering the pillar, in a similar way to how Sora and Roxas fall from shattered Stations at the beginning of their games. At the beginning of his episode at the Land of Departure, Ventus falls asleep outside after watching a shooting star, and a little while later, he yawns, and then is startled to find Aqua standing over him, who giggles upon his reaction and teases him affectionately, mirroring how [[Kairi]] startled Sora awake in the original ''Kingdom Hearts''.
