Type High-ranking Nobody
Game Kingdom Hearts III

The Reaper is a high-ranking Nobody controlled by Marluxia that appears in Kingdom Hearts III.

Design

Reapers appear in two different forms. When idle, or when taking a defensive stance, they appear as a large, silvery-white flower bud, similar to certain features in Castle Oblivion. They have long, pointed petals shaped like the spikes of the Nobody emblem, which flow naturally into a short, twisted stem that splays out into "roots" with the same spiked shape.

When offensive, the petals of the bud open, revealing a humanoid head and torso, wearing a jacket with oversized, pointed shoulders and long pointed hood of faded pink. It also wears wide, elbow-length mittens that fade from pink to white. In battle, it wields a scythe similar to Marluxia's Graceful Dahlia, with a large, pink blade with an upturned tip and multiple spikes resembling the Nobody emblem.

Their name is derived from the Grim Reaper, a common personification of death which appears as a robed skeleton bearing a scythe, tying them into Marluxia's themes of death. Reaping is also a term for harvesting grain, traditionally using a scythe or sickle.
