Aqua

Links: Theme || Playlist (not mine) || Character tag || Gallery || model credit

Age: 21 or so

Height: 5'8

Notes:

Fairly patient—but not as patient as Ven (no one’s as patient as Ven)

            Tbh if I had to sort them in terms of patience: Ven, Aerith, Mickey, Aqua

Lives in a constant state of worry about Terra I’ll be blunt about that

Protective of her friends (aka adopted siblings let’s be honest that’s what Ven/Terra are to her)

Generally kind and gentle and motherly

She and Aerith have a lot in common??

However Aqua gets angrier quicker—her patience runs thinner especially with anyone she deems “evil” or has any reason to distrust, really

Probably takes her Master position incredibly seriously even if she doesn’t like boasting around the title

Potentially regrets the Master title?? Wishes Terra got it too?

Can sense levels of light/darkness in people (which is an innate ability she was born with)

Has a good taste for what spells have been used previously in an area, especially the stronger spells

Lacks a lot of people skills but honestly all three of them do, and Ven is actually the one who’s best at it of the three of them

Into the Light by BeaMon

History:

All of BBS

Relationship with Eraqus and how his death has affected her—all sorts of responsibility thrust on her shoulders

Her childhood growing up with Terra

Living with Ven for a good seven years

The two of them being adopted brothers, Eraqus being an adopted father, living with him since she was six or so and training under him and being raised in the secluded shelter of the Land of Departure

Battles with Xehanort

Having to fight Vanitas in Ven’s body

Having to fight Xehanort in Terra’s body

Both of her final battles were against her possessed best friends and she had to fight not knowing if she would kill them, if she would be forced to kill them, hoping it would not come to that, but not knowing

And the outcomes of the battles: Ven’s heart lost to oblivion and being unable to call it back, promising him that she would return, breaking that promise, all while he sleeps on—potentially for eternity—and she is powerless to do anything about it

GRANTED, THESE WORRIES ONLY LAST FOR THOSE SEVEN YEARS WANDERING IN THE DARK REALM, BUT IMAGINE HER SEEING VEN ASLEEP AND PANICKING SOMETIMES, WAKING HIM UP JUST TO CHECK, E T C

Meanwhile, she knows that she did not stop Xehanort, knows that he is in Terra’s body and that perhaps he really has smothered Terra’s heart and hoping hoping that he’s okay

The seven years she spent in the Dark Realm (yes, it was only seven)—even if it didn’t feel like seven years specifically, it had to have felt like an eternity

During which she had no contact with anyone, did nothing but fight hordes and hordes of Heartless, nearly gave up hope at least once…. Never smiled, never laughed, just walked and walked and walked and…….. and fought for her life

Fighting Style:

Very magic based and flowy and fights with her Keyblade

But a lot of magic

Command styles

Like A LOT a lot magic she knows her stuff with her Keyblade and her physical attacks are generally stronger than Ven’s but she relies SO HEAVILY on magic and other special commands—all her spells are at least level 5 –agas if not –azas or some stronger shit

SHE HAS SEVEN YEARS FIGHTING HEARTLESS WORTH OF EXPERIENCE UNDER HER BELT, AS WELL, SO HONESTLY, SHE’S REALLY REALLY REALLY FRIKKEN STRONG

She rarely attacks physically except to finish building her command charge thing, or if she’s in a top level command style and she just SHE. WRECKS. SHIT. She is so strong she is Unstoppable

Also she basically has no limit of how much magic she can cast unlike other people, it doesn’t drain her energy, she could not afford for it to drain her energy so she adapted, she adapted.

Idk if I’ll enforce the Command decks, especially so she isn’t TOO overpowerd, but for the sake of the “Aqua decimates shit” oneshot, they aren’t in effect

For Aqua I have an entire list of high level commands she frequently uses, but it's like three pages long (ok, only one) and I REALLY don't feel like reposting it here. If you go to the khwiki there is an entire page/list of BBS commands and anything that's advanced or ultimate level (that she can learn), she has learned

Battle Log Entry

Aqua is extremely well-versed in magic, and fights in a rather flow-y sort of style. Being from a different age, she knows an old technique known as "Command Styles", which allow her to unleash devastating elemental combos after enough power has been gathered.
Aqua didn’t earn the title of Master for nothing, and seven years in the Dark Realm doing nothing but fight Heartless gave her a lot of extra practice. She doesn’t like to brag about her prowess, but she is capable of chain casting many high-level magic commands without breaking a sweat, and can clear a room full of Neoshadows in about 2 seconds flat. To put it more bluntly: watch out, because Aqua can wreck your shit.

Relationships

Eraqus

I,,,, wanna say Aqua was Eraqus’s first apprentice but he couldn’t not take Terra in because Terra was orphaned and his heart went out the boy and

Aqua understands that Eraqus loves Terra as a son and probably a little more than he loves her

But she doesn’t mind too much

Eraqus is kinda like a father to her and she knows he loves her

His death probably shook her up real bad—ESPECIALLY hearing that Terra had a hand in it (though I hope to hell that someone manages to tell her that Xehanort was the one who dealt the final blow and that Terra has a chance to sit down sometime and articulate to her that he was just trying to protect Ven and he knows he went too far but he didn’t intend to kill their Master)

Terra

by trapinchmon

Okay this is going to be hard to articulate in full but they grew up together—have known each other AT LEAST half their lives?

Imagine 10-year-old Aqua being introduced to 8-year-old Terra when Eraqus adopts him as an apprentice/son

So they’ve known each other like……. nearly ten years now. yeah. Half of their lives

They're really close and basically adopted siblings

She’s really worried about Terra now and wants to find him and is kinda?? So worried and upset about him and with him y’know?

She’s not happy with what he did. She’ll forgive him but at the moment she has no legitimate proof that he didn’t at least partially if not FULLY intend everything he did

She doesn’t know he didn’t mean to kill Eraqus

She doesn’t know he didn’t realize what Xehanort intended until it was too late

She doesn’t know Terra was manipulated by every name of evil that exists in the worlds

All she knows is that Terra was so prone to darkness and that him falling to darkness was so believable and expected that she blames herself for not stopping it because she saw it coming like,,,, three years ago and she holds onto that regret

That

If only she’d talked to him. Said something to Eraqus. Something. Anything.

She believes she could’ve saved him and blames herself for not doing it and regrets it so bad

Also she can sense light/darkness levels in people's hearts and so she spent every day sensing the darkness beating in Terra's chest and just feeling it constantly. It didn't worry her at first--it didn't bother her until she brought it up to Eraqus and he sort of panicked. 

I won't say she was frightened of it, entirely, frightened of the darkness she could feel growing in Terra's chest, but she could definitely sense it—she has always sensed it, and she felt Xehanort coddle it and feed through Birth By Sleep and I think that's really important to be aware of.

Ven

byblackpaopu

She….. babies Ven really bad like

They are friends as much as Terra and her are but

Omg

She babies him so bad she’s always worried about him getting hurt always pulling him away from danger always super on the lookout for things that could hurt him so that she can keep him away from them

And like he generally appreciates it but he also jokes with her so much “omg Aqua I’m okay I’m fine” he just reminds her and reminds her and reminds her that

He’s not as broken as he used to be

He’s learned how to cope

He’s grateful when it comes to nightmares/darkness/Vanitas

And he could never be legitimately ANGRY with her over it but there is a playful annoyance over it like I said

She just worries so much about him--he's her little brother and she couldn't stand if something happened to him like something happened to Terra so she protects him very very fiercely. 

(I mean horrible things DID happen to him but..... shh....... shh)

She also thinks she's sweet and adorable and the cutest little brother she could've asked for

Xehanort

She could sense light/darkness in him which lead her to be..... slightly distrusting of him

Like this goes one of two ways

She just distrusted him but was too polite to say anything

She trusted Eraqus’s judgment and it gave her hope for Terra because if Xehanort can be so full of darkness and apparently not be evil then Terra can’t be in danger either??

(wrrroonnggggooooo)

I never imagine she particularly liked him but again she was too polite to bring it up/trusted her master’s judgment/both

Though now she’s. okay. She hates him. I’ll be blunt. She hates him she hates what he did to Ven what he did to Terra how he ruined her life because she knows it’s him even if she doesn’t know he killed Eraqus

She believes Terra didn’t entirely go with Xehanort of his free will she assumes Xehanort had a hand in it and blames him for it

And she’s right but she doesn’t KNOW she’s right she doesn’t FULLY know what happened between Terra and Xehanort she doesn’t know

She doesn’t

And that probably eats at her during those 7 years in the dark realm. What if Terra really did mean everything he did?

Xehanort terrifies her because he’s the darkness she always feared in Terra taken physical form in a way, you feel?

He’s all she feared in Terra

In the form of an incredibly manipulative and smart old man that she cannot—could not for the longest time—call out on what she believes is bullshit

Mickey

Oh gosh but imagine them meeting a lot and she’s really respectful of him partially because he’s king partially because he’s older and CLEARLY more experienced than her

But like just

He was Yen Sid’s pupil and Eraqus and Yen Sid were friends so when Mickey was training under Yen Sid perhaps they would meet up and so Aqua and Mickey would meet up she’s

She’s known him from a very young age

Ah

Isn’t that something

I know it’s not what happened in canon but I think that’d be really neato and then it’s just even MORE reason for Mickey to be invested in finding Terra

He watched these kids grow up

They’re more than friends, they’re family

Vanitas

She super hates Vanitas like,,, worse than Xehanort

Because not only is he an asshole

He’s more CLEARLY the darkness she so fears in physical form and

Knowing that this abomination of darkness is actually half of Ven’s heart?? that darkness was in Ven too??? It horrifies her. It infuriates her

She gets so mad at Vanitas and some of it is out of fear of what he is and how horrible the darkness is

And of course he can feel her fear and anger and he THRIVES on it

He’s also an asshole to her and to Ven and says some REALLY mean things about Ven so that’s only more reason for her to hate him
