Editing Princesses of Heart

{{Game|KH1|FM1|COM|REC|KH2|FM2|358|BBS|FMB}}

The {{nihongo|'''Seven Princesses of Heart'''|セブンプリンセス|Sebun Purinsesu|lit. "Seven Princesses"}} are maidens with hearts of pure [[light]], devoid of [[darkness]]. They appear to be the only people in the universe whose hearts are born naturally free of darkness. Though only a few are actual princesses, the Seven Princesses are referred by that name as the one who brings all them together can open the [[Door to Darkness]] will open and gain the power to reign over the worlds. Princesses who lose their hearts do not become [[Heartless]] because they have no darkness within to trigger the process. However, it is possible for the Princesses to create [[Nobody|Nobodies]] on special occasions, proven by the existence of Kairi's Nobody, [[Naminé]].

[[File:Kairi KHII.png|thumb|right|150px|Kairi, the only Princess of Heart created exclusively for the ''[[Kingdom Hearts (series)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' series.]]

The seven Princesses of Heart are:

*[[Kairi]] - Former resident of the [[Radiant Garden]], adopted daughter of the mayor to [[Destiny Islands]]

*[[Alice]] (from "''{{w|Alice in Wonderland (1951 film)|Alice in Wonderland}}''") - Girl who became lost in the world of [[Wonderland]]

*[[Snow White]] (from "''{{w|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs}}''") - Princess of [[Dwarf Woodlands]]

*[[Belle]] (from "''{{w|Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Beauty and the Beast}}''") - "Prisoner" at [[Beast's Castle]]

*[[Cinderella]] (from "''{{w|Cinderella (1950 film)|Cinderella}}''") - Maiden of her home in the [[Castle of Dreams]]

*[[Aurora]] (from "''{{w|Sleeping Beauty (1959 film)|Sleeping Beauty}}''") - Princess of the [[Enchanted Dominion]]

Five of the Princesses of Heart are also a part of the {{w|Disney Princess|Disney Princess franchise}}. Alice and Kairi are not officially part of the Disney Princesses, although Alice has occasionally appeared alongside them. Notably, [[Ariel]] and [[Mulan]] are Disney Princesses, but are not Princesses of Heart.

[[Master Xehanort]], searches for the Princesses of Heart as part of his plan to find seven hearts of pure light for one of his schemes to reforge the χ-blade. To that end, Xehanort revealed the existence of the Princesses of Heart and the existence of other worlds to [[Maleficent]]. Having placed one of the princesses, Aurora in a cursed slumber within the highest tower of the [[Enchanted Dominion]], Maleficent manipulates [[Terra]] into getting her Aurora's heart. Eventually, her heart is freed by [[Ventus]] and soon after the curse is lifted by [[Prince Phillip]], allowing her to reunite with her family. However, with the information Xehanort gave her, Maleficent left her world to find the other six Princesses of Heart.

A four-year-old Kairi, who is still living in the [[Radiant Garden]] with [[Kairi's Grandma|her grandmother]] at the time, gets chased by a group of [[Unversed]] until [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] and Aqua come to her rescue. Kairi touches Aqua's Keyblade, unintentionally initiating the [[Keyblade Inheritance Ceremony]], allowing her to later wield a Keyblade. After Mickey's leave, Kairi gives her flowers to Aqua as a token of gratitude, and Aqua in return puts a protective charm on her necklace. When she returns to her grandma, she asks her to tell her the story about the light and the darkness.

Since leaving her home world, Maleficent used her allies and the [[Heartless]] to ravage the worlds and gathered four of the princesses prior to Sora's adventure beginning. At that time, Sora arrived to Wonderland where he met Alice who was abducted. Promising to help [[Riku]] on the promise that she would restore [[Kairi]]'s heart, unaware that she is a Princess, Maleficent used him to capture Jasmine. Though reaching a dead end with [[Wendy]] a false lead, Maleficent later learns of Kairi's identity. However, because Kairi had given her heart to Sora in the chaos of Destiny Island's destruction, access to the [[Final Keyhole]] within Hollow Bastion was impossible. Having overseen Maleficent's activities and taking Riku's body for his own, Xehanort's Heartless [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]] used the hearts of the remaining six princesses to create the [[Keyblade of People's Hearts]] to release Kairi's heart from inside Sora. When Sora realized the truth after driving off his attacker, he stabbed himself with the Keyblade to free Kairi's Heart, an action that also revived the other six princesses and subsequently opened the Final Keyhole and enable Ansem to [[End of the World]] where a Kingdom Hearts was being created. While Kairi was brought to [[Transverse Town]], the other princesses remained in Hollow Bastion to stop the flow of darkness that had begun to seep from the still-open Keyhole until Sora could return. Once the Keyhole was sealed, the princesses patiently awaited his victory against Ansem so that they could return home, which finally happened when Kingdom Hearts was sealed and the worlds restored.

If you finish the story of [[Deep Jungle]] before [[Wonderland]], during the cutscene discussing Maleficent's plans for the Princesses, Snow White will appear as the victim instead of Alice, as Alice has not been captured yet.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''===

Alice, Jasmine, Belle and Kairi all appeares as figments of Sora's memories during his adventure in Castle Oblivion.

Belle reappears in [[Hollow Bastion]] where the witch Maleficent forces her to turn the [[Beast]] into a Heartless, but Belle refuses and eventually sacrifices herself to protect the Beast. She is later restored by the defeat of Maleficent.

Jasmine is once again captured by the evil vizier Jafar, but Aladdin and Sora come to her rescue in time. Aladdin is hoping to become a prince to become her equal, but later decides to be himself as to let Jasmine appreciate him for who he really is.

Kairi does not appear in person, though she still plays the biggest role out of all Princesses. As Sora, Donald, Goofy and Jiminy descend to Castle Oblivion, Sora's memories of her begin to alter and eventually replaced by her Nobody, Naminé. But, by remembering Kairi again, Sora started regaining his lost memories that had been torn away by [[Naminé]]. In Riku's story, Naminé appears as Kairi to tell Riku not to hide from the darkness in his heart.

Jasmine and Belle both appears in their home worlds. Kairi is mentioned various times by [[Xion]] and Naminé, as well as reflected in Xion's appearance to [[Roxas]].

Belle and Jasmine once again makes an appearance in their respective worlds, but not as Princesses of Heart. They are both worried about their loved ones.

Belle is locked in the east wing by the Beast, who is affected by [[Xaldin]]'s influence. She meets Sora and co. when they arrive and asks them to free the Beast's servants, who are all locked in the castle dungeon and later goes off to follow Xaldin, only to be chased by a gigantic Heartless into the ballroom. The restored Beast runs into the rescue and manages to defeat the monster with Sora, Donald and Goofy. Sometime later, Belle and Beast open a party, only to be interrupted by Xaldin once more who steals the Beast's precious rose, thus depresses him to the point that he decides to push Belle and Sora out from the castle. Belle manages to take back the rose when she gets captured by Xaldin and runs to safety, allowing Sora and the Beast to defeat him. The Beast then asks Belle to stay with him, which she happily agrees.

Jasmine greets Sora, Donald, and Goofy when they first arrive at [[Agrabah]] and tells them of her worry for Aladdin, who has been going to town to look for action. She asks them to find him and ask him about the problem. Jasmine is one of the first to be persuaded by Iago's worth to join them. Sometime later, Jafar is released from his lamp and Agrabah is once again in chaos. While Iago leads Sora and the others to a trap, Jafar captures Jasmine and prepares to reign over the kingdom. The four warriors, however, escape his trap and manage to return on time to stop Jafar's malice one last time.

In [[Tron]]'s world, [[Space Paranoids]], the password to access the DTD in the dataspace, was the names of the seven princesses. But once the [[Master Control Program|MCP]] attempts to hack into it, Tron changes the password to the names Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

Kairi indirectly connects with Roxas and in turn remembers Sora, whom she almost completely forgot about due to Naminé's magic. She later gets captured by [[Organization XIII]] in their attempt to raise Sora's anger, causing him to defeat more Heartless and release more hearts to fuel the construction of [[Kingdom Hearts]]. In the World That Never Was, she is rescued by her Nobody, Naminé, and meets up with Riku, and later Sora. Kairi was given a [[Destiny's Embrace|Keyblade]] from Riku. As they no longer have any place to go back to, they head toward the tower of the Castle That Never Was together to confront Xemnas and end the war once and for all. Once the war is over, she returns home with her friends; with Naminé and Roxas joined with her and Sora, respectively.

Upon his return, Master Xehanort reveals that the hearts of the Seven Princesses are actually fragments of pure light that was divided from the [[χ-blade]] during the Keyblade War. As a result, Xehanort intended to have his Organization XIII, composed of those who possess his fragments of his heart, to "thirteen darknesses" with the "seven lights" to recreate the χ-blade. Knowing this threat, [[Yen Sid]] has Riku bring Kairi to him, in order to train her to use her newly acquired Keyblade for self-defense. Prior to his return, Maleficent reveals Master Xehanort being the one who got her to invade the worlds. However, seeing that using the princess is too complex, Maleficent refocused her means of universal domination else where.

[[File:My Friends Are My Power! 01 KH.png|thumb|200px|The Final Keyhole is almost revealed by the six hearts.]]

The purity of their hearts also grants them abilities to keep darkness away or hold it back temporarily, something that comes natural to the Princesses merely by being in presence. The greater the number of Princesses gathered, the more effective this skill is. In addition, they can sense darkness, as shown when five of the princesses tell Sora of a great darkness nearby.
