Dandelions

The Dandelions (ダンデライオン) are a group of exceptional Keyblade wielders from each Union who possess a certain aversion to darkness.

As per her role, Ava assembled the Dandelions and trained them in a secret location to prepare them for the travel to the world outside when the Keyblade War broke out so that they could ensure the survival of light.

Five individuals were chosen by the Master of Masters to succeed the Foretellers after the Keyblade War; though only one of them would receive a copy of the Book of Prophecies, and they would be the only ones permitted to remember the world the Dandelions left behind. Ephemer was the first to be approached by Ava when his curiosity lead him to seek answers about the world. Ephemer then reached out to Skuld so that she would follow the same path as him and join the Dandelions, with Skuld destined to become one of the new Union leaders. Strelitzia was the final Dandelion to be approached by Ava, but in trying to convince to join the Dandelions, she was eliminated by an unknown individual, who then stole her rulebook and took her place as Union leader. Brain, Ventus, and Lauriam would later gather in the Keyblade Graveyard as the new Union leaders, though it is unclear which of them is the impostor.

With a Union χ instituted, the Dandelions would be allowed to work with one another, regardless which Union they were loyal to, to continue maintaining the balance by collecting Lux.

After the war to celebrate their new status, Ephemer and the others give the Dandelions were given new companions to help them fight against the nightmares. Continuing to follow Ava's instructions, Ephemer considers what to do about organizing the Shift Pride, which would pit the Dandelions against one another as a competition. Lauriam unintentionally inspires Ephemer to consider an alternative, but before progressing, they hold a vote, with Ephemer, Lauriam, and Brain being in favor of the Shift Pride, while Ventus and Skuld oppose it. Ephemer then reveals his intention to access the data of the Dandelions recorded through their adventures across the worlds rather than having them fight each other personally.

As time went on they helped Lauriam solve the disappearance of his younger sister Strelitzia. First he asked Skuld if she knew anything about her but nothing came from it. They deduce that his sister might have got caught up in the war trying to seek out her mystery friend and have them join the Dandelions. However Brain notes this as being odd as the timing was off, as Strelitzia was pursuing this individual in order to get them to join, but they had not done so before the bells tolled, meaning that they likely fought in the Keyblade War. This whole conversation reminds Ephemer of Player, who was offered a place among the Dandelions, but ultimately declined and battled in the Keyblade War, and so he agrees to introduce Lauriam to Player. Upon reuniting with Ephemer and meeting Lauriam, Player couldn't give them any insight of Strelitzia but was advised to keep her close their heart.

Back at the at the clock tower, Brain continues to intensively study the Book of Prophecies which doesn't go unnoticed by Skuld and Ventus who ask him why but all his says is that they're all still destructive path resolving to become the virus that overwrites everything. Soon glitches started happening all over Daybreak Town, as Ventus went to look for Brain in the Control Room while Ephemer and player returned to the tower finding Brain and through his investigations the Dandelions find out after the Keyblade War they were moved into a data version of the town with no possible way of returning; suggesting this all to have been someone else's plan. And that the glitches are the results of the Darklings as well as new world trying to connect to theirs, while trying to consulting the Book of Prophecies Brain would work on a way to get them out confirming his promise to become the virus that overwrites everything.

However, feeling that something was wrong and aware of the memo Master Ava gave to Brain, he summons his Chirithy to gather the others. Meeting with Ephemer, Skuld and Ventus, Brain reveals that after having read Ava's memo he realized that Strelitzia was meant to be one of the new Union leaders and receive the book as he wasn't suppose too. Understanding that it was Ava's intentions to change who received the Book of Prophecies, but not the new Union leaders believing that Darkness was pulling the strings. Reading the memo, the Dandelions discover that Ventus wasn't meant to be one of the Union Leaders. Upon hearing his encounter with Master Ava, the group discovers that it wasn't her that choose him but he was manipulated by Darkness as it killed Strelitzia causing him to take her place.
