Aqua

Unreleased

Aqua is a character from the upcoming game Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.

While Aqua's name means 'water' in Latin, Kairi's name means 'sea' in Japanese. Any connection between the two is unconfirmed, however similar name meanings also apply with Sora and Ven, and with Riku and Terra.

Kingdom Hearts II Filmatics
She first appears as a young, blue-haired female knight who fights alongside Ven and Terra in the secret ending movie of Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+. She is the first to be unmasked when her helmet gets smashed after being thrown to the ground in battle. She and Ven briefly take on Master Xehanort's apprentice together, but make no progress in defeating him. She uses a spell reminiscent of Reflect to shield Terra from the Keyblade cyclone generated by Master Xehanort. She is a spectator for the rest of the battle, being too far away to reach their enemies before Ven becomes trapped by the old man's grip. She is seen looking on in horror as Ven struggles fruitlessly, and catches his frozen body after he is dropped off the cliff. She was originally seen in magazine scans as staring up at a glowing heart, and due to her hair color and style, was seen as connected to Kairi by some fans. The video ends with her holding a helpless but still living Ven, gazing up at what may be a newly appeared Kingdom Hearts in the sky.

Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ Cutscene
Aqua's armor and Keyblade were briefly seen in Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+. They reside in the Room of Sleep, a room constructed by the Organization under Radiant Garden for an unknown purpose. Xemnas apparently visits the armor often, calling it "friend" and talking to it for long periods of time.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep
At the recent Square-Enix event, Aqua was seen dancing before Ven and Terra, denying the possibility of Terra descending into darkness while conversing with Maleficent, and even seen battling her dragon form.

In Castle of Dreams, Aqua glances at Cinderella who is running to her carriage, and runs after her as Cinderella drops one of her glass slippers.

In the world of Snow White, Aqua looks into a mirror and the figure of the Evil Queen is projected. Aqua jumps for a moment and steps back, then plunges into the mirror.

Aqua's battle scene. Her fighting style seems like floating. She does not hold the keyblade, the keyblade attacks as if it knows her intentions. Sort of like Final Form from Kingdom Hearts II. Her mode changed to something pink, but the name of it is unknown Her fighting style was shown to be 'tricky,but really cool'.

Voice Actress
She is to be voiced by Megumi Toyoguchi, who previously played Paine in Final Fantasy X-2 and her Kingdom Hearts II counterpart, as well as the Turks Elena and her elder sister "Gun (Female)" in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. Of the three, Aqua is shown to be the main Magic user, and also is also said to perform cartwheel, and spinning during battle.
