Vanitas: Difference between revisions

As a being created from the purest of darkness, Vanitas is proud, cunning, cruel, and pure evil. The lives of others, including that of even Master Xehanort, hold absolutely no value to him, and he shows no remorse for his actions. As a pragmatist, he will strike without a moment's thought or warning, as seen when he ambushes Aqua in the Keyblade Graveyard and attempts to eliminate her. Despite his loyalty to Master Xehanort, he has disregarded his orders on occasion; for example, he attempts to eliminate Ventus after defeating him in their first battle despite full knowledge that Master Xehanort needed Ventus alive for his plans. For the most part of the game, he is shown to be cool, calm, and collected, never breaking his calm until near the end of the game. He appears to be quite intelligent, as seen in his quotes. He is also shown to be uncaring, having not the slightest sympathy for anyone but himself, as seen in his frequent criticizing of Ventus's friendships with Terra and Aqua, and when he callously breaks Ventus's wooden Keyblade, and his constant referring to Ventus as an "idiot," in addition to forcing Ventus to fight him by threatening to kill Terra and Aqua. He can also be overconfident and arrogant at times; in his first fight with Aqua, he claims that he will be the only one that will walk away alive, and when fighting Aqua for the final time, Vanitas boasts that Aqua was just "wasting her energy" trying to stop him. His overall personality is in an extremely stark contrast to Ventus and Sora, and by extension [[Roxas]] and [[Xion]], who are valiant, value friendship, and possess heroic qualities.

Vanitas also appears to be somewhat insane, judging by what has been shown in-game. The most prominent examples include his bursts of maniacal laughter when Aqua tried to unmask him and when Ven declared he would defeat him and destroy the χ-blade, and his explanation to Aqua and Mickey about what he plans to do with the χ-blade and Kingdom Hearts after possessing Ventus, the latter of which he does with a crazed smile on his face.
