Aqua: Difference between revisions

Line 26:

'''Aqua''' is one of the main protagonists of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. From the view of the story, it is revealed she is one of the [[Keyblade]] Wielders before [[Sora]]. Like [[Terra]] and [[Ventus]], it is her dream to become a [[Keyblade Master]], a dream she is the only one of the three to accomplish.

Her name is Latin for "water", while [[Kairi]]'s name in Japanese means "sea". The only connection between the two is that Aqua met Kairi in [[Radiant Garden]] in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and put a protective spell on her necklace, which later brought Kairi to Destiny Islands. Kairi, by accidentally [[Bequeathing|touching Aqua's Keyblade]] during this time, also inherited the Keyblade from Aqua. The official Japanese website refers to Aqua as the {{nihongo|"Dancing Waters Forming Bonds"|絆繋ぐ舞水|Kizuna Tsunagu Busui}}. According to [[Tetsuya Nomura]], she is approximately 18 years old.<ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-09-22/tetsuya-nomura-kingdom-hearts-will-not-end-with-kingdom-hearts-iii/.137160 Tokyo Game Show 2018]</ref>

Aqua meets [[Mickey Mouse]] and the young Princess of Heart, Kairi, who touched Aqua's Keyblade in fright, unintentionally performing a [[Bequeathing]]. Aqua and Mickey protect her from a group of Unversed, and in return, Kairi gives Aqua flowers, which becomes the Keyblade Destiny's Embrace. Aqua also places a protective charm on Kairi's necklace to help her in the future, believing that their meeting may not have been a coincidence. This charm would later transport Kairi to [[Destiny Islands]] where she would be with someone who would always protect her, while [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]] believed it was because Kairi, as a Princess, was naturally drawn to the Keybearer.

Aqua later meets up with Terra and Ventus, but the reunion is short-lived as they team up to battle a massive Unversed. They manage to defeat it, but things take a turn for the worse. Terra and Aqua begin to argue about Master Eraqus's orders, revealing to Terra that she was sent to watch him. Hurt by this, Terra leaves, and Ventus calls Aqua awful, claiming that she has let her new status as a Keyblade master go to her head. He then leaves to find Terra, as Aqua stays to contemplate.

After Riku brings Kairi to the Mysterious Tower, Mickey tells the story of how he found Aqua and teamed up with her to find the Kingdom Key D and seal the Door to Darkness. A frustrated Riku demands to know why Mickey didn't tell him sooner, but Mickey clarifies that he had to respect her choice, his claims bolstered by Yen Sid's insistence that had Riku found out sooner, he and Sora would have staged a fruitless rescue mission. Yen Sid then assigns Riku and Mickey the mission to rescue Aqua.

Aqua has a tall and slender figure, about as thin as Ventus and standing a few inches shorter than Terra. She has blue eyes and medium-length blue hair, mostly parted to her left. She wears a black and navy blue, high-collared halter top, a black corset with two pairs of white laces and black shorts. She has two pink straps intersecting over her chest, with a [[Symbols in the Kingdom Hearts series#Terra's Mark|silver badge]] similar to badges also worn by Ven and Terra over the intersection. On Aqua's arms are white bell-sleeves and tan, fingerless gloves. She also wears a small, segmented piece of armor on each of her upper arms. She wears black stockings reaching about halfway up her thighs, leaving a small area of bare skin. There are two strips of blue cloth draped over each of her hips, along with a smaller, white strip of cloth tied around her waist and draped in the same manner. Her silver boots are pointed and armored, with a sharp "hook" on the outer side of each.

==Personality==

Aqua bears some similarities to [[Kairi]] and Sora, primarily in her sisterly affection for her closest friends, especially towards the younger Ventus. This is displayed by when she makes lucky charms for them, does everything in her power to protect Ventus (despite his apparent discouragement whenever she tells him to go home), her confidence that Terra will overcome the darkness, and when she strands herself in the [[Realm of Darkness]] in order to save him, an act which could potentially doom herself forever, showing she is incredibly selfless. Aqua is shown to be very sociable with children, quickly befriending Kairi, Sora, and Riku.

Aqua is remarkably calm and dead-set on her goals, and only threats on her loved ones seem to make her lose her composure. Although, like Sora, Aqua is comically insecure in a romantic sense, so when [[Zack]] asks her out on a date, she becomes completely flustered and desperately tries to compose herself. She also quickly changes the subject when [[Hercules]] asks why her face is red.
