'''Ven's Keyblade''' is a [[Keyblade]] used by [[Ventus]] in the upcoming prequel ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''.

It is a notably peculiar Keyblade, with the hilt and guard positioned off the shaft, rather than aligned with it. The shaft is thick and dark gray while the head and teeth are both thin and light gray. The teeth are more "mechanical", resembling the teeth of [[Two Become One]], and the hilt and guard resembles that of the [[Kingdom Key]], which may have a connection between Ventus, [[Sora]], and [[Roxas]]. Due to its unique construction, this Keyblade is designed to be wielded in reverse.

Wayward Wind is a peculiar Keyblade that is designed to be easily wielded in reverse. The black handle is offset from the Keyblade as opposed to being aligned with it, and the guard is equally misaligned.

There are three thin, dull gold lines that decorate the middle of the shaft. Two short bars connect the main blade to the teeth. The Wayward Wind's teeth are grey like the blade and have a wing-like shape. They are comprised by five curved bars that decrease in size the lower they are on the Keyblade.

In [[Deep Space]] Ventus is shown to be riding a board with similar properties as his Keyblade while wearing his armor shown in [[Birth by Sleep]]. This may or may not be linked to the attacks used by the [[Lingering Sentiment]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+]]'', since he was engaged in battle with an [[Unversed]].
Due to a late development change, the final design of the Wayward Wind differs from most of its depictions; although the teeth and the hilt are on the same side in the game and on the boxart, they are on opposite sides in Ventus's concept artwork, in his D-Link icon, and in the ''{{c|Birth by Sleep|video}}'' video. In particular, the Wayward Wind's design in the video was significantly simpler. In addition to the location of the teeth, the Keyblade was also much less smooth and more block-like, appeared more rusted and faded, and did not have a clearly defined color scheme. The gold tone of the handle simply faded into the dull silver tone of the rest of the weapon. It also lacked a Keychain.

Design[edit]

Wayward Wind is a peculiar Keyblade that is designed to be easily wielded in reverse. The black handle is offset from the Keyblade as opposed to being aligned with it, and the guard is equally misaligned. The guard is a dull gold color and joins with the shaft of the Keyblade to fully enclose the handle. The shaft is grey, thin, and has a very slight curve outward. There are three thin, dull gold lines that decorate the middle of the shaft. Two short bars connect the main blade to the teeth. The Wayward Wind's teeth are grey like the blade and have a wing-like shape. They are comprised by five curved bars that decrease in size the lower they are on the Keyblade. The Keychain token is a green gem with two silver flurries of wind spiraling around it.

Due to a late development change, the final design of the Wayward Wind differs from most of its depictions; although the teeth and the hilt are on the same side in the game and on the boxart, they are on opposite sides in Ventus's concept artwork, in his D-Link icon, and in the Birth by Sleep video. In particular, the Wayward Wind's design in the video was significantly simpler. In addition to the location of the teeth, the Keyblade was also much less smooth and more block-like, appeared more rusted and faded, and did not have a clearly defined color scheme. The gold tone of the handle simply faded into the dull silver tone of the rest of the weapon. It also lacked a Keychain.

The Wayward Wind's English and Japanese names, as well as certain aspects of its design, reference Ventus's name, which means "wind" in Latin. "Wayward Wind" may also reference how Ventus runs away from the Land of Departure.
