Questions:

1. Tell us about who your character is and what someone’s first impression would be upon meeting them. How would your character act once someone got to know them?

Sora gives the first impression of being a friendly, upbeat, helpful teen who wants to become a true hero with a slice of naivety thrown in for good measure. He seeks out people in every world he goes to and often ends up befriending them, even if some of them are a little rough around the edges. While visiting each world, he has done his best to protect the people in and save them from the Heartless and falling into darkness. Making friends is easy for him with his cheerful attitude, and he's willing to help them in a heartbeat. Sora strives to be a true hero, though he's been stuck at Jr. Hero for quite some time due to setbacks. There's no danger he wouldn't face with his friends by his side, and there are plenty of things that he's naive to - such as romantic love all through KH3.

Underneath, Sora is a sincere individual who is always willing to lend a hand. He never asked to become a Keyblade Wielder, but he opened his heart to someone who was sad and that gave him the ability. It was a role and duty that he took on, despite the many hardships he would undergo, and one he takes seriously. Sora is driven to help his friends, but simply keeps making more along the way and comes to genuinely care about them. While bummed by all the times he's had to start over learning abilities, Sora shows endless determination and courage to do it all over again. He has an optimistic sort of personality for the most part, only sliding into depression and sorrow in extreme circumstances.

He has a very forgiving heart, and while Sora has no patience for those who would seek to do harm to others - so long as he feels they are genuine in their remorse and willing to do better, he will forgive people. Yet Sora also has a temper hidden under his otherwise cheery personality, best shown in Chain of Memories when he gets angry with Donald and Goofy to the point of leaving them. He isn't very good at hiding his feelings, often showing his emotions upon his face and when angry, his hand will clench into a tight fist.

2. What is something unique and interesting about them, or what is a fun little tidbit that sets them apart from the crowd?

Sora loves pirates. While he doesn't get along well with the true rough and rowdy, will betray you for a coin kind of pirate, Sora was ecstatic to play among the waves with Captain Jack Sparrow. He was even able to get his own boat in his last adventure in the Caribbean and was happily humming a sea shanty. Christmas also seems to be one of his favorite holidays and he was happy beyond belief to meet Santa Claus in one world, even if he stopped believing some time ago.

Over the course of his journey, we find that Sora has and learned many skills. Singing, dancing, cooking, skateboarding, random tricks, gummiship driving - he does it all. He seems to enjoy learning new skills and keeps an open mind to new experiences. It can lead to some interesting combination of abilities (quick time events) where he suddenly uses a whole chandelier to attack an enemy.

3. What does your character think their flaws are? What do they think their strengths are? What are their actual flaws and strengths?

His most famous line is that his friends are his power, and he knows it. This is both a strength and a flaw that he is aware of and is his actual one as well. His friends are the driving force behind his entire journey as he sets out to find both Riku and Kairi. Over the course of his journey, Sora makes many more friends along the way, often relying on their strength in battle and the connections he makes with them. He will go to extreme lengths to save them and look after them, even doing his best to help their friends that he hasn't met yet. Sora has unlocked his own heart to create a Heartless and Nobody so that he could save Kairi in KH1, he has risked his own existence to bring back his friends in KH3 and Re:Mind, and even chased after visions during DDD that resulted in him diving too deep into the dream and putting himself in the Organization's hands. Yet he's also saved so many worlds, new friends, old friends, and even enemies because the bonds he has make him stronger.

However, he is also keenly aware that this is a weakness for him - as there have been multiple instances where he's lost his friends in some way and simply broken down. Often times, Riku is the one who steps in to save him in some way, whether that's getting his memories restored or physically defending him from an attack. Donald and Goofy have both also risked their life to help save Sora from those moments where he just freezes up. The sacrifices Sora has made for his friends have caused many side affects to happen: Rage Form where Sora is overtaken by his Darkness and becomes reckless in fights, the constant loss of his abilities and having to start over, or the self-sacrificing and needing a rescue. Sora just feels the loss of his friends too keenly and it can even result in him getting angry and snapping at the people who are trying to help.

Sora often follows his heart, which is how he ends up in most of these situations. It leads him into danger and has him making reckless mistakes where Sora ends up sacrificing himself for the people he cares about. While Sora would never deny following his heart, it's just a good thing that he has friends who can help him out in return. Yet it also steers him in the right direction in the end, allowing him to protect more than just his friends, but whole worlds and Kingdom Hearts too. His bonds are so strong they reach across time and make him that much stronger.

4. What is a common misconception other characters have about your character?

KH3 showed us a lot of Donald and Goofy teasing Sora about being a half-pint and how three half-pints make a whole. That he's not a true hero. But together they make up a hero, and while that may be true in some aspects such as how he continuously loses his abilities and does rely on his friends, Sora is the one everyone seems to depend on in the end. He is the one who saved Riku, Mickey, and Aqua from the Realm of Darkness, he is the one who saved Kairi's heart, who sacrifices his own power and life to save the people he cares about, who reached Xehanort after defeating him. And while there were friends at his side for the majority of the time, he's the one who carries the weight. Sora is already a hero where it really counts, his heart.

Sora is not all sunshine and light, he too struggles with the darkness in his heart. While he fights for the light, and makes the gummiship run on happy faces, he is just a person underneath it all. He feels sorrow, heartbreak, anger, mistrust, who gets scared but faces down powerful enemies anyway. After Ventus' pure light heart is returned to him, Sora does become more serious - and while that could be due to the upcoming fights - I'm interested in exploring what Sora is like now that the Heart Hotel is empty and there are no longer outside factors that can influence it other than the connections he makes with people in his life.

Fairy Godmother, please help him again! He's gone and gotten lost in another world after doing something reckless. (This isn't a serious request. XD)
