Ventus's default Keyblade.

The Wayward Wind (フレッシュブリーズ Furesshu Burīzu?) is a Keychain for Ventus's Keyblade that is found in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Like most Keyblades, it is a Keyblade of the Realm of Light. Ventus uses this Keychain in order to form his Keyblade Ride.

Design

Wayward Wind is a peculiar Keyblade, with the hilt and guard positioned off the shaft, rather than aligned with it. Due to its unique construction, Wayward Wind is designed to be wielded in reverse. The shaft, head and teeth are dark gray and have golden seams engraved into them, three just above the guard and one curving around the base. The shaft itself is rounded and becomes thicker around the guard. The teeth vaguely resembles a bird wing implying the connection to his name, it also bears resemblance to the teeth of Two Become One, and the hilt and guard resembles that of the Kingdom Key. The Keyblade's name, and Keychain (feathers wrapped around a gust of wind) are consistent with Ventus's "wind" theme.

In the Birth by sleep video, the Wayward Wind is instead held teeth-forward, as the hilt and guard were located on the opposite side from the blade's teeth. Furthermore, the shaft and blade seem to be composed of a rusted, silvery metal.

Trivia

  • The design of this keyblade is somewhat ambiguous: in Ventus's concept artwork, his D-Link icon, and in the "Birth by sleep" video, the teeth and hilt are on opposite sides, but in the game and on the boxart, both are on the same side. This is because of a design change late in development.
