'''Ventus''', also known as '''Ven''', is one of the main protagonists in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' | '''Ventus''', also known as '''Ven''', is one of the main protagonists in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. He was a [[Keyblade]] wielder before [[Sora]] ever became one, and was apprenticed to both [[Xehanort]] and [[Eraqus]]. He is the youngest of the trio formed by himself, [[Terra]] and [[Aqua]]. | ||
Ventus's heart is severely damaged by the creation of his dark counterpart, [[Vanitas]], and then again when the [[χ-blade]] forged from their hearts is destroyed. Both times, Sora's heart reaches out to mend Ventus's heart, and by the end of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Ventus's heart has gone to sleep within Sora so that it can recover until it is fully healed and ready to rejoin his body, which lies comatose but safe within the [[Chamber of Waking]]. | Ventus's heart is severely damaged by the creation of his dark counterpart, [[Vanitas]], and then again when the [[χ-blade]] forged from their hearts is destroyed.

According to [[Tetsuya Nomura]], he is approximately 16 years old.<ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-09-22/tetsuya-nomura-kingdom-hearts-will-not-end-with-kingdom-hearts-iii/.137160 Tokyo Game Show 2018]</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 bears an uncanny resemblance to [[Roxas]], bearing identical facial features.

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. | When touching the piece of armor on his shoulder, Ventus becomes fully clad in [[Keyblade Armor|armor]].

His name means "wind" in Latin, similar to how Sora's name is Japanese for "sky". The official Japanese website refers to Ventus as the {{nihongo|"Swift Wind Returning to Bonds"|絆巡る疾風|Kizuna Meguru Shippū}}<!--cite to japanese bbs website-->. | |||
