Terra - power type
A cool and composed young man, his approach to everything is to make decisions with a calm mind. He's like an older brother to Ventus. He handles the Keyblade easily, and his particular fighting style is to overwhelm enemies with power.
Aqua - magic type
Strong and kind, a girl with a cold bearing. She looks out for Terra and Ventus, and has a serious personality, never losing her temper. Her speciality is fighting using both direct attacks and magic at the same time.
