Character Bios

Hey there, I'm esakrreh. I was here for a while and then stopped going to the forums but now I'm back. Anyway, with the new KH games coming up and new characters being introduced, I'd like to look back at some of the old characters, and talk about some findings (I don't know why but I think this kind of thing is fun). Anyway, I'll start by posting bios of Sora and Roxas, and others can post theirs of any major character. Anyway, I hope you all find this interesting, and if not, it's just another internet thread.

-Sora
Age: 14-15
Ht: Around 5,5 or 5,6 in the first game. 5,7 or 5,8 in the second.
Gender: Male

Sora is the protagonist of the Kingdom Hearts series, and is often shown as its' icon character, to seperate Kingdom Hearts from other Disney video games or movies.
He is the game's main character, and is the most prominent playable character in the first three games (KH1, CoM and KH2).
Sora's two wielded weapons in the games are 1. The toy sword and 2. The Keyblade. Sora shows above-average skill with the sword, though he is supposedly not as skilled as Riku. It is unknown just quite how skilled Sora is with the keyblade. Despite the slights of the antagonists, Sora has always prevailed. However, his keyblade handling in the cutscenes is sometimes shown as clumsy. He certainly does not appear as dynamic in combat as Roxas or Riku, but he has been able to defeat both. Sora attributes all of his power to his heart, and not to his skill in combat. He is shown as generally athletic. Through the series, his portrayal changes from somewhat clumsy to much more graceful and skilled. His hair color also becomes dramatically lighter from Chain of Memories to Kingdom Hearts 2, though this change in appearance may be attributed to his bonding together with Roxas.
Sora is generally characterized as cheerful and friendly. He is a conssumate optimist and a generally good leader. He has an uncanny habit to befriend almost anyone he meets (much like Naruto from the series "Naruto"). Though he is apparently educated, Sora is often portrayed as dim-witted and gullible, as well as childish, though he is also shown as abnormally emotionally mature.
Through the series, Sora's character changes subtly. Throughout Kingdom Hearts, he begins to accept his role as a hero and seems to learn a great deal about the heart, and learns about forgiveness. His relationship with Kairi also changes. In Chain of Memories, he is shown as more agressive and aware, and is shown to differentiate in his relationships, as he consistently shows more care for Namine than for Riku (though it is also shown that he cares a great deal about Riku). Finally, in Kingdom Hearts 2, two things happen to his character. He simultaneoulsy goes more in the direction of Kingdom Hearts and in Chain of Memories. He becomes more active and agressive than in the first game, but not nearly as much as in Chain of Memories. He is shown to be somewhat quicker to anger, and more understanding in romantic relationships (though not his own).

RELATIONSHIPS

Donald Duck: Sora and Donald's relationship is strong but tumultuous. They dispute the most often among the three (Sora, Donald and Goofy) and seem to wish for definite leadership of the group. Later on, Sora moves into the leader role without the two fighting, beginning to pilot the Gummi Ship and generally being the main voice whenever the group discusses what to do about a situation.

Goofy: Sora and Goofy's relationship is not generally focused on. They are apparently good friends, and Goofy is often the one to console Sora when he feels angry or depressed. Goofy seems to look up to Sora in a way, but their general consensus is that they are certainly equals. Goofy is also shown as something of a "rock" for Sora, as when Sora thinks Goofy is dead, he tells himself: "This is not happening, it can't be happening...".

Riku: Throughout the first game, Sora's and Riku's relationship is shown as an intense rivalry/friendship. Their rivalry is clearly over Kairi, but they compete physically to maintain it. Through their numerous conflicts, Riku is often shown to be the more clever one, though Sora becomes more independent and mature, and not susceptible to Riku's insults. Later, with their time apart, their rivalry fades, as Riku stops making advances towards Kairi, conceding that Kairi has no romantic feelings for him.

Kairi: Sora's relationship with Kairi becomes surprisingly confused over time. In the first one, Sora generally shows that he is calm around Kairi, though he is clearly nervous as well. Both appear to be tentative about their relationship, and are both unsure. Over time (in the first game), both become more sure about their relationship, and seem to wordlessly concede to a romantic relationship. However, with his time away from Kairi, Sora begins to become nervous around her, and seems to shrink away from the presupposed relationship. This may be explained by the events of Chain of Memories, as Sora may feel that he has "betrayed" Kairi with his relationship with Namine (in the Chain of Memories manga, Marluxia asks: "What does it feel like to be loved so much?"). Their relationship will most likely stable, especially when Sora learns that Kairi and Namine are in fact one and the same (though he may be initially taken aback).

Mickey Mouse: Sora knows Mickey very little, but he is shown to respect him greatly, calling him "Your Majesty" despite his generally casual additude. Though Mickey does not seem to reject his title, he also appears to consider himself equal to most anyone, Sora especially.

Antagonists: Sora seems to show a shocking amount of hate and loathing for his antagonists, and in Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts 2 especially, he seems to gain a certain amount of bloodlust towards them, though he does not seem to hold a particular hatred towards to regular Heartless and Nobodies.
