| Sora cracks a cheesy smile |
|
Sora, the main character in Kingdom Hearts, is quite possibly the most innocent RPG character
that I've seen so far. (This is possibly because the game is rated "E"). He's cute, amiable and surprises me with his strength.

| Yuffie gazes down at the key bearer in Traverse Town. |
At first, Yuffie (Kisaragi) seemed like a harmless young girl, but I eventually found out that she
was a ninja who first appeared in Final Fantasy VII. She may not look it, but she is an impressive fighter. I only
encountered her in Traverse Town and at the Tournaments.

| Aerith tells Goofy and Donald about the Keyblade. |
Aerith (or Aeris, last name Gainsborough) is my favorite female character from Final Fantasy
VII. Even though many despise her for some cruel reason, her death wasn't just a sacrifce. So again she appeared, five
years later, in Kingdom Hearts as a valuable source of information about the Keyblade and its legendary bearer.
Voice Actor: Mandy Moore (entertainer)

| Leon meets up with the trio in the Small House. |
Leon (Squall) Lionheart is a very placid, mysterious character in the game. He claims that he
should have been the key bearer, but of course we know this was Sora's destiny. I like 'em quiet, anyway. I've never played
nor do I have the desire to play Final Fantasy VIII at the moment.

| Sephiroth's dramatic entrance...damn collar. |
Sephiroth, at first, freaked me out. Even though I had the guide for Kingdom Hearts to help
me along during the fight (which, since I lacked sufficient skill, failed), it didn't prepare me mentally. Yeah, I sound
a little crazy, but now I find him exceedingly attractive. Wouldn't you?

| Are his eyes ORANGE?! And I thought he couldn't get weirder... |
Possibly the true mastermind behind the side of darkness in Kingdom Hearts, Ansem is quite
the antagonist. I don't understand him. How can someone become so evil and have hair like that? I mean, get a comb!

| A formidible hitman in the Tournament. |
Cloud Strife, who appeared as the hero of FInal Fantasy VII plays a minor role in little-sister
Kingdom Hearts. I've taken random glances at the former game, and Cloud is an impressive leader. His character changed
dramatically from the beginning of the game, and I love him for that. ROCK ON, CLOUDIE!! (lol)
