The seven {{nihongo|'''Princesses of Heart'''|心のプリンセス|Kokoro no Purinsesu}} are maidens devoid of [[darkness]] in their [[hearts|Heart]] that first appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''.

But it is possible for the Princesses to create [[Nobody|Nobodies]], which is proved by the fact Kairi has a Nobody, Naminé.

The Princesses of Heart make their first appearance in the very beginning of the game, during [[Sora]]'s [[Awakening]].  There are four stained glass windows representing the four princesses who have been captured before the game's start, Belle, Cinderella, Aurora, and Snow White.  There is also a fifth window with three stylized princess silhouettes on it representing the three free princesses, Alice, Jasmine, and Kairi.

In order to open the [[Final Keyhole]], [[Maleficent]], the Heartless and [[Riku]] kidnapped each of the princesses from their respective [[Universe of Kingdom Hearts|worlds]] throughout ''Kingdom Hearts''. During this kidnapping spree, Riku went to [[Neverland]] with [[Captain Hook]] under the belief that [[Wendy]] was the final Princess of Heart. Upon meeting her, Maleficent determined that Wendy was a false lead and Kairi was actually the final princess. But because Kairi had given her heart to [[Sora]] in the chaos of Destiny Island's destruction, the power of the princesses' hearts could not be fully utilized.

Changing his plans, [[Xehanort's Heartless|Ansem]] used the hearts of the remaining six princesses to create the [[Dark Keyblade]], which could release Kairi's heart from inside Sora. When confronted later, Ansem (via Riku's body) told Sora about Kairi's heartless state.  When Sora realized the truth, he stabbed himself with the Keyblade to free Kairi's Heart, an action that also revived the other six princesses. The Princesses remained in Hollow Bastion to stop the flow of darkness that had begun to seep from the still open Keyhole until Sora could return. Once the Keyhole was sealed, the princesses patiently awaited his victory against Ansem so that they could return home, which finally happened when Kingdom Hearts was sealed and the worlds restored.

The seven Princesses possess only light within their hearts. These hearts of pure light allow them to open the Final Keyhole in Hollow Bastion, which is supposed to hold absolute power.  However, it can only be opened when they are all gathered together.  The purity of their hearts also grants them abilities to keep darkness away or hold it back temporarily.


The purity of their hearts also grants them abilities to keep darkness away. The manner of how they do it is uncertain. They may be able to summon light, similar to how [[Minnie Mouse|Queen Minnie]] did in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
They can also upgrade Sora's powers, granting him [[Fire|Firaga]] [[magic]] in ''Kingdom Hearts''.
 
Another power that they have demonstrated is the ability to upgrade powers, like how they upgraded Sora's fire magic.
 
Although unconfirmed (as Kairi has been shown to age twice), the Princesses may possess the ability to remain youthful (seeing as how Aurora, Cinderella and Snow White are still youthful in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', which is set ten years after the events of ''[[Birth By Sleep]]''). It is more likely that Maleficent kept them in a suspended state, thus preserving their youth. It is also possible that their age is tied to the time of the world they live in. With a world completely destroyed, its time stops, and thus the Princesses remained young if the world is restored time is moving foward and they age.

* With the exception of Alice, and the game's new addition, Kairi, the Princesses of Heart are also a part of the Disney Princess franchise. [[Ariel]] is also one of the Disney Princesses, but was not included.
 
* Before the identities of all the Princesses of Heart were revealed, [[Ariel]] was easily mistaken to be one of them, because of her Disney Princess status.
 
* [[Wendy]] was mistaken to be one of the seven Princesses of Heart by [[Captain Hook]], but [[Riku]] told him that she wasn't.
 
* In ''Kingdom Hearts'', if you finish the story of Deep Jungle before Wonderland, during the cutscene Snow White will appear instead of Alice.

If they are all brought together, the Door to Darkness will open. Princesses who lose their hearts do not become Heartless because they have no darkness within to trigger the process. It is possible for the Princesses to create Nobodies, proven by the existence of Kairi's Nobody, Naminé.

The Awakening window representing the free Princesses of Heart at the beginning of Kingdom Hearts

Kingdom Hearts

The Princesses of Heart make their first appearance in the very beginning of the game, during Sora's Awakening. There are four stained glass windows representing the four princesses who have been captured before the game's start, Belle, Cinderella, Aurora, and Snow White. There is also a fifth window with three stylized princess silhouettes on it representing the three free princesses, Alice, Jasmine, and Kairi.

In order to open the Final Keyhole, Maleficent, the Heartless and Riku kidnapped each of the princesses from their respective worlds throughout Kingdom Hearts. During this kidnapping spree, Riku went to Neverland with Captain Hook under the belief that Wendy was the final Princess of Heart. Upon meeting her, Maleficent determined that Wendy was a false lead and Kairi was actually the final princess. But because Kairi had given her heart to Sora in the chaos of Destiny Island's destruction, the power of the princesses' hearts could not be fully utilized.

Changing his plans, Ansem used the hearts of the remaining six princesses to create the Dark Keyblade, which could release Kairi's heart from inside Sora. When confronted later, Ansem (via Riku's body) told Sora about Kairi's heartless state. When Sora realized the truth, he stabbed himself with the Keyblade to free Kairi's Heart, an action that also revived the other six princesses. The Princesses remained in Hollow Bastion to stop the flow of darkness that had begun to seep from the still open Keyhole until Sora could return. Once the Keyhole was sealed, the princesses patiently awaited his victory against Ansem so that they could return home, which finally happened when Kingdom Hearts was sealed and the worlds restored.

If you finish the story of Deep Jungle before Wonderland, during the cutscene discussing Maleficent's plans for the Princesses, Snow White will appear as the victim instead of Alice, as Alice has not been captured yet.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

Alice, Jasmine, Belle and Kairi all appeared in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories as figments of Sora's memories from the events in Kingdom Hearts. Also, by re-remembering Kairi, Sora started regaining his lost memories that had been torn away by Naminé. In Riku's story, Naminé appears as Kairi to tell Riku not to hide from the darkness in his heart.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Jasmine and Belle appear in their worlds with minor roles in this game. Kairi is mentioned various times by Xion and Naminé, as well as reflected in Xion's appearance to Roxas. Wonderland appears, but Alice does not.

Kairi was the princess with the largest role; she was captured by Organization XIII in their attempt to raise Sora's anger, causing him to kill more Heartless and release more hearts to fuel the reconstruction of Kingdom Hearts.

Kingdom Hearts coded

Kairi reappears in this game as a data-based version, created from Jiminy's Journal entry of her then 14-year-old self. Alice and Jasmine also appear in their respective worlds.
