In the universe of Kingdom Hearts, the '''heart''' is a vital part to the <i>complete</i> existence of any living creature. Just as all people have hearts, so do all [[world]]s. Any being of a certain quality will averagely have a heart, a [[Body]], and a [[Soul]].
In the universe of [[Kingdom Hearts]], a being is composed of three parts: a [[body]], a [[soul]] and a '''heart'''. The heart gives a being emotion, feelings, [[light]] and [[darkness]].


Hearts apparently give the [[soul]] and [[body]] emotion and feelings, as well as a conscience. [[Nobody|Nobodies]], who lack hearts, cannot feel or show emotions.
All hearts, have both light and darkness within them. The only exceptions are the [[Princesses of Heart]], maideins whose hearts are made out of pure light. The light and darkness within a heart conflict and define a person, allowing them to exist.


All hearts, with a couple exceptions, have both [[light]] and [[darkness]] within them. Such exceptions include the [[Princesses of Heart]], who lack darkness and contain only pure light in their hearts. The light and darkness within a heart conflict and define a person, allowing them to exist. This is why nobodies are considered "not to exist"; because, not only do they not physically exist, but they lack the tool (the heart) that defines people and allows them to be.
If an individual, be they good or evil, gives into the darkness of their heart, they will become a [[Heartless]], a being of pure darkness. This being separates from the body and soul to act on its own instinct. This primal instinct, drives the Heartless to seek out other hearts and consume them, turning them into Heartless. However, when a Heartless is destroyed by the [[Keyblade]], the darkness releases its grip, and the captive heart is freed. Eventually, these freed hearts congregate and collect together to make [[Kingdom Hearts (combined heart)|Kingdom Hearts]].

If the person's heart was particularly strong, that Nobody may even retain its human form and memories, but will still lack true emotions which come from the heart.

===Connection to the [[Keyblade]]===
===Connection to the Keyblade===
It is said that anyone with a powerful heart may wield a Keyblade, but if one forgets he/she ever wielded a keyblade, it is no longer possible to wield it. It should be noted that [[Roxas]] is capable of wielding Keyblades, but this is due to him being the Nobody of [[Sora]] (who wields the keyblade) and indirectly inheriting his ability to wield.
So far, the only known requeriments to wield a Keyblade have being a strong heart. The keyblade of the [[Realm of Light]] chose [[Riku]] as it's mater, but since he gave into the darkness to pursue his goals, the Keyblade went to next person with the strongest heart, [[Sora]]. [[King Mickey]] found the Keyblade of the [[Realm of Darkness]]] and became it's master. [[Roxas]] was able to wield the Keyblade (even though he didn't have a heart) because he was Sora's nobody. Riku later found/created himself a Keyblade, speculated to be the keyblade of the [[Realm of In Between]]. Even [[Kairi]], a Princess of Heart, was able to wield a Keyblade.
 
In the first Kingdom Hearts game, there was only one keyblade. Near the end of the game, this Keyblade chose between Sora and Riku near based on whose heart was stronger. In Kingdom Hearts 2 there were multiple keyblades because the Realm of Inbetween is said to have chosen Riku as its Keyblade master, thus there is no longer a rivalry.


The connection between the Heart and the Keyblade is expected to be further explored in the series.

In the universe of Kingdom Hearts, a being is composed of three parts: a body, a soul and a heart. The heart gives a being emotion, feelings, light and darkness.

All hearts, have both light and darkness within them. The only exceptions are the Princesses of Heart, maideins whose hearts are made out of pure light. The light and darkness within a heart conflict and define a person, allowing them to exist.

If an individual, be they good or evil, gives into the darkness of their heart, they will become a Heartless, a being of pure darkness. This being separates from the body and soul to act on its own instinct. This primal instinct, drives the Heartless to seek out other hearts and consume them, turning them into Heartless. However, when a Heartless is destroyed by the Keyblade, the darkness releases its grip, and the captive heart is freed. Eventually, these freed hearts congregate and collect together to make Kingdom Hearts.

If a person with a strong heart and will becomes a Heartless, then the body and soul left behind may begin to act with a will of its own. This being is called a Nobody. If the person's heart was particularly strong, that Nobody may even retain its human form and memories, but will still lack true emotions which come from the heart. These specific nobodies are, of course, known as part of Organization XIII. Nobodies are considered "not to exist", because they do not posses light nor darkness, wich are located in the heart.

Memories are also tied with the heart. If a person's memory collapses, such as the Riku Replica, their heart will collapse as well, rendering their body into a lifeless doll. It is therefore safe to assume that, since the members of Organization XIII can remember certain things (such as how to break a heart), then they must have either shadow hearts, which contain memory, or fractions of their old hearts.

Connection to the Keyblade

So far, the only known requeriments to wield a Keyblade have being a strong heart. The keyblade of the Realm of Light chose Riku as it's mater, but since he gave into the darkness to pursue his goals, the Keyblade went to next person with the strongest heart, Sora. King Mickey found the Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness] and became it's master. Roxas was able to wield the Keyblade (even though he didn't have a heart) because he was Sora's nobody. Riku later found/created himself a Keyblade, speculated to be the keyblade of the Realm of In Between. Even Kairi, a Princess of Heart, was able to wield a Keyblade.

The connection between the Heart and the Keyblade is expected to be further explored in the series.
