Aqua is described by Tetsuya Nomura as being "tricky" {{fact}}. A magic-based fighter with agility to boot, she's capable of doing cartwheels while attacking with [[Rainfell|her Keyblade]]. While she's more than capable physically, her prowess lies with a more magic-oriented fighting style, being versed in all forms of it. Aqua is second only to Master Xehanort in terms of magic amongst Keyblade users, displaying superior skill to both Terra and Ven as well as later Keyblade users such as Sora and Riku. She has her own special variations of the Fire, Ice, and Thunder spells, and can cast the Reflect spell indefinitely without tiring, effectively giving Aqua a 360° defensive zone. She can also augment her jumping abilities with magic. She is neither the slowest nor the fastest of the trio, but her slender frame makes her a difficult target. Small petals appear when she summons her Keyblade. Her known [[Command Style]]s are:
===Keyblade and fighting style===
*[[File:CS SpellWeaver.png|link=Spellweaver]]: Her own exclusive Command Style; it utilizes the power of light to hover her Keyblade in midair, swiftly attacking enemies while enhancing her magic capabilities as well. Activated by filling the Command Gauge with a variety of multiple magic-based commands. The finisher consists of Aqua performing a magical spin attack that can be controlled with the analog stick. This was called '''"Magic Wish"''' in the Japanese release.
Aqua is described by Tetsuya Nomura as being "tricky" {{fact}}. In terms of physical ability, she is the most balanced out of the three main protagonists of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', with decent strength, speed, and range. She is neither the slowest nor the fastest of the trio, but her slender frame makes her a difficult target. Unlike Terra and Ventus, she blocks using Barrier, a costless version of the Reflect spell, effectively giving Aqua a 360° defensive zone.
*[[File:CS GhostDrive.png|link=Ghost Drive]]: Aqua's high speed Command Style and exclusive to her; it allows her to attack enemies at high speeds while using after-image illusions and tricky movements to her advantage. Activated by filling the Style Gauge with Thunder and Magnet-based commands. The finisher consists of Aqua circling a certain area before creating an explosion.
 
*[[File:CS Bladecharge.png|link=Bladecharge]]:Activated by filling the Style Gauge with Fire, Blizzard or Strike commands. In this Command Style, the Keyblade resembles a large, glowing sword. The finisher consists of Terra or Aqua spinning the blade to hit surrounding enemies, and then smashing it into the ground.
Aqua has very few exculsive [[attack command (KHBBS)|attack command]]s, consisting of [[Barrier Surge]], [[Wishing Edge]], and her most powerful attack command, [[Magic Hour]]. Her personal finish commands include the [[Magic Pulse]] series, [[Heat Slash 2]], [[Ice Burst]], and her her ultimate finisher, [[Teleport Spike]].
*[[File:CS SkyClimber.png|link=Sky Climber]]: A style that gives Aqua a great midair advantage, it allows her to ride her Keyblade around to attack foes from above at high speed. Activated by filling the Style Gauge with evasive, or Zero Gravity-based commands. The finisher consists of Aqua mounting her Keyblade and hitting multiple enemies before heading skyward then crashing back down and finally, spinning on herself causing a small tornado. This was named '''"Air Rider"''' in the Japanese release.
 
===Magic===
While she's more than capable physically, her prowess lies with a more magic-oriented fighting style, being versed in all forms of it. Aqua is second only to Master Xehanort in terms of magic amongst Keyblade users, displaying superior skill to both Terra and Ven as well as later Keyblade users such as Sora and Riku. Aqua has a wide variety of [[Magic Command]]s. She has her own special variations of the Fire, Ice, and Thunder spells. Fire spells include [[Triple Firaga]], [[Firaga Burst]], and [[Raging Storm]]. Ice spells include [[Triple Blizzaga]], [[Glacier]], and [[Ice Barrage]]. A Thunder spell she can use is [[Thundaga Shot]]. She can also use [[Seeker Mine]], and has a few unique magnet spells like [[Energy Magnet]], [[Munny Magnet]], and [[D-Link Magnet]].
 
===Miscellaneous===
Beside a variety of these abilities usable by all three or two of the protagonists in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Aqua has access to two unique [[Command Style]]s and three exclusive [[Shotlock]]s. Her first exclusive Command Style is [[Spellweaver]], which hovers her Keyblade in midair, swiftly attacking enemies while enhancing her magic capabilities as well. Her second style is [[Ghost Drive]], a second level style which allows her to warp around enemies, attacking them at high speeds while using after-image illusions and tricky movements to her advantage.  
 
Her exclusive Shotlocks are [[Bubble Blaster]], [[Prism Rain]], and [[Lightbloom]].
 
Aqua has access to the evasion technique, [[Cartwheel]], as well an offensive variant, [[Firewheel]]. She can also use [[Doubleflight]], allowing her to jump once and jump again in midair. Lastly, she can use [[Teleport]], allowing her to warp behind an enemy, dodging its attack.


===D-Link===

===Shotlocks===
:*'''[[Prism Rain]]''': Light in seven colors bursts from the Keyblade and chases after enemies. Press {{button|x}} ({{button|c}}  in Japanese versions) at the right time in the circle to input the command. It is named '''"Rainbow Shower"''' in the Japanese version.
:*'''[[Bubble Blaster]]''': A giant bubble surrounds Aqua and releases smaller bubbles that chase after enemies. Press {{button|x}} ({{button|c}}  in Japanese versions) to fire bursts of two additional bubbles. It is named '''"Bubble Blast"''' in the Japanese version.
:*'''[[Lightbloom]]''': Aqua's strongest Shotlock. She twirls on the spot while shooting many orbs of white light. As it progresses, her spinning becomes more and more elaborate until she is spinning with one of her legs behind her head. It is named''' "Shiny Bloom"''' in the Japanese version.

<!--GENERAL OVERVIEW, FOCUSING ON EXCLUSIVE KEYBLADES, AND HOW HER VERSIONS OF COMMON KEYBLADES DIFFER FROM OTHERS-->
Aqua's exclusive Keychains generally share a water-theme and are primarily focused on magical strength; in fact, her "Brightcrest" is the most magically-powerful Keychain in the game. Her Keyblade is of medium length, between those of Ventus and Terra. Aqua starts off with her personal "Rainfell", but after visiting Destiny Islands, she obtains a more powerful version of it named "Stormfall". However, after falling into the Realm of Darkness, she sacrifices her Keyblade and Keyblade Armor to save Terra, and is forced to use "Master Keeper", her former Master's Keyblade, which she had retrieved earlier.
