Additionally, [[Dr. Finkelstein]] attempted to create an artificial heart for the purpose of making the [[Heartless]] more terrifying, rather than pursuing knowledge. He believed that the key elements of the heart are memories and surprise so his [[Dr. Finkelstein's ingredients|ingredients]] contained the essence of these two components. However, when [[Oogie Boogie]] consumed the heart that the doctor had created, it had an underwhelming effect. Oogie Boogie's plan was to control the Heartless by taking the heart, but few Heartless answered his call. This indicates that Dr. Finkelstein's hypothesis about hearts is incorrect, reinforcing the mystery surrounding hearts. | Additionally, [[Dr. Finkelstein]] attempted to create an artificial heart for the purpose of making the [[Heartless]] more terrifying, rather than pursuing knowledge.

Later, the [[real Organization XIII]] also attempt to create an artificial heart by collecting data of both positive and negative emotions on a program chip and installing it in a [[Dark Baymax|recovered robot]]. [[Vanitas]] states that his heart of pure darkness was restored by the Organization using the negative emotions collected by Monsters, Inc. Both suggest that hearts are constructed from emotions. | |||

The heart appears to be responsible for the composure of memories, will, goals, and ambitions, as is the case in the transfer of [[Master Xehanort]]'s heart into [[Terra]] and the internal struggle of wills inside [[Terra-Xehanort]]. Despite lacking a heart, Nobodies inherit these traits from their original selves. The heart is also responsible for emotions, as beings lacking one, such as the Nobodies, cannot feel emotions. | The heart appears to be responsible for the composure of memories, will, goals, and ambitions, as is the case in the transfer of [[Master Xehanort]]'s heart into [[Terra]] and the internal struggle of wills inside [[Terra-Xehanort]].

Scholar Ansem the Wise was struck by a great curiosity of the heart and its true nature. He began research on the topic so he could better protect his world from the forces of darkness, together with his six apprentices, and started to write his reports. However, when Ansem realized that his experiments could bring disaster to the world, he stopped all his research. | Scholar Ansem the Wise was struck by a great curiosity of the heart and its true nature.

However, Xehanort decided to continue the experiments and realized that when hearts were seduced by darkness, a creature he dubbed a "Pureblood Heartless" was born. He made note of how Heartless acted on instinct, and wished to try creating his own Heartless. To tell them apart from the Purebloods, he dubbed them "Emblems" and christened them with what would later become the Heartless insignia.

He made note of how Heartless acted on instinct, and wished to try creating his own Heartless. To tell them apart from the Purebloods, he dubbed them "Emblems" and christened them with what would later become the Heartless insignia. He also noted how they behaved relatively the same way, continuing to experiment in other areas with which the heart was concerned. He had no idea that he had caused chaos to brew. Soon, Ansem became aware of Xehanort's activities, and he ordered that his research be stopped at once. This strict request would lead to the birth of Xehanort's Heartless and [[Xemnas]], as well as the rebellion of Ansem's other apprentices. Xehanort and the other apprentices' Nobodies would later grow to form [[Organization XIII]], a group that had the sole purpose of unlocking the secrets of the heart. | ||
While Ansem was cast out into the Realm of Nothingness, Xehanort wrote the [[Ansem Reports]]. After he put his research and his findings to paper, these reports scattered across the worlds, and were able to help the residents of Traverse Town and Sora in his first journey when it came to learning about and fighting the Heartless. Ansem's experiments on the heart would continue to haunt him even after his escape from the Realm of Nothingness as he came across the reports and Heartless spawned by the research of himself and his apprentices. He was forced to recall his past mistakes and even failed to succeed in avenging his dignity, realizing all of his experimentation had gotten him nowhere. Upon his supposed death, which instead erased the majority of his memory and sent him to the [[Dark Margin]], one of the last things he would hear was Xemnas's accusations that he was the source of all Heartless, and that the chaos and turmoil that had resulted over the past years were all his fault. | While Ansem was cast out into the Realm of Nothingness, Xehanort wrote the [[Ansem Reports]].

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', it is revealed that the seven lights are not the hearts of the [[Princesses of Heart]] for their whole lives. Once they have served their purpose of opening the Final Keyhole, they can be released by the princesses' choice to find new hosts, confirming that the seven lights reincarnate. The [[real Organization XIII]] spent some of the game trying to find the six new hosts, as [[Kairi]] did not pass on her power.

Emblem Heartless defeated by the Keyblade give up the stolen heart, which causes it to return to the owner's original body. Heartless slain by another weapon return to darkness and eventually reconstitute elsewhere. However, in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the hearts went to [[Organization XIII]], who captured the hearts. Hearts will also not return to their owner if a Nobody was formed. | Emblem Heartless defeated by the Keyblade give up the stolen heart, which causes it to return to the owner's original body.

A special kind of Pureblood Heartless called the [[Lich]] exists to ferry hearts into the abyss. Rather than consuming the hearts of other people with darkness and spawning more Heartless, it chains their hearts and houses them for a time until it can cast them into the darkness. If caught, it can be forced to safely release its captive hearts and return them to their owners. | |||

To wield a [[Keyblade]], one must have a strong heart, whether it be a heart of darkness or light, and they must have [[Bequeathing|touched a Keyblade before]], or inherited the ability from one who has. Roxas could wield a Keyblade even though he did not remember his time as Sora, but it took effort to get it to materialize in the beginning, and he was not aware of all of its properties, such as returning to the wielder's hand when called. Xemnas, however, did not wield a Keyblade, which remains a mystery. Nomura has implied that he intentionally wasn't using one, which some have taken to mean that Terra prevented it. | To wield a [[Keyblade]], one must have a strong heart, whether it be a heart of darkness or light, and they must have [[Bequeathing|touched a Keyblade before]], or inherited the ability from one who has.

A type of Keyblade made from hearts also exists. The only known Keyblades of this type are the χ-blade, which is made from a heart of pure darkness and a heart of pure light, and the [[Keyblade of heart]], which is made from the hearts of the seven Princesses of Heart. The χ-blade may also be forged from the clash of seven guardians of light and thirteen wielders of darkness, | {{spoiler}} | ||
