Heart

Line 38:

A cherished element throughout the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, hearts possess many unique powers and abilities. It is for this reason that antagonists seek them. Hearts are able to produce emotion, something that members of Organization XIII crave. Strong hearts are also able to feel the emotions of those connected with them, demonstrated many times by Sora, who has unconsciously felt the sadness of Roxas, Ventus, and Xion, as well as Vanitas, who was able to feel some of what Ventus felt. As shown with [[Kairi]] and Ventus, if one's body remains intact when the heart is lost and is not turned into a Nobody, the person will enter a state similar to catatonia until the heart is restored. Ventus, in particular, has been in this state for over a decade, without a change in his health, despite there being no one to look after him. It is unclear if he has aged.

Hearts are also able to merge with others or be split~~, as seen when [[Eraqus]] joins hearts with Terra~~. When [[Player]] chose to stay awake instead of sleeping like the other Dandelions, their heart dissolved and merged with a hooded figure who eventually raises [[Xehanort]] ~~and Hoder who merges her heart with Xehanort~~. They can be split to produce an embodiment of either the light or the darkness, as seen when Master Xehanort produces Vanitas by unlocking the darkness of Ventus's heart.

Hearts can be absorbed into the heart of another, either with permission (explicit or implied) from the host heart's owner, or by force. Both Ventus and Kairi had their hearts enter Sora after they were compromised in different ways. There are notable differences when hearts are placed into someone else, based on the intentions of said hearts' owner: Ventus and Kairi left their hearts with Sora for safekeeping, unintentionally giving him access to a Keyblade and Kairi's memories, respectively. However, if someone forces their heart into the heart of another against their will, the victim will take on traits from the invading heart's original owner, as shown with [[Terra-Xehanort]]. In a similar scenario, if someone places a fragment of their heart into another, it can gradually turn the victim into a clone of the original person (though, in the case of Master Xehanort, his heart is strong and full of darkness, so it corrupts the host regardless if they are willing or unwilling).

In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the members of the Organization, minus [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], [[Xemnas]], [[Young Xehanort]], and [[Vanitas]] (who already had hearts filled with darkness) did not turn into clones of Xehanort after receiving pieces of [[Master Xehanort]]'s heart; instead, they only gain his golden eyes and pointed ears. Even after their defeats, remnants of their hearts lingered on as [[Replica Xehanort|copies of Master Xehanort]] in a unique new uniform; they later merged with him to create a powerful [[Keyblade Armor]].
