Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Characters

Sora
A fourteen-year-old boy and the hero of this tale. In his last adventure, Sora was chosen as the Keyblade master and saved the world, but only at the cost of being separated from his closest friends. He now journeys to find those friends and return home with them. Although a little naive, Sora has an uncommon sense of justice.

Donald Duck
The court wizard who serves the king of Disney Castle. He is journeying with Sora and Goofy to find the king. Donald is talkative, moody, and a bit short-tempered.

Goofy
The clumsy but easygoing captain of the Disney Castle Royal Knights. Despite his positions, Goofy dislikes weapons.

Riku
A fifteen-year-old boy who is best friends with Sora and Kairi. Mature for his age, Riku is cool and collected. To save the world, he chose to remain in the realm of darkness.

Kairi
A fourteen-year-old friend of Sora and Riku. She awaits their return to Destiny Islands.

The Unknown
A mysterious man who showed Sora and his companions the way to Castle Oblivion. It seems there are others like him. Surely he has his reasons for approaching Sora, but those reasons remain unclear.

The King
The king who reigns over Disney Castle.
He set off alone to protect his world and all worlds from the dominion of the dark.
When Riku fell into the realm of darkness, the king showed him the way, but the two were sepreated when the door to darkness was closed.

Naminé
A young witch who, under orders from Marluxia, rewrote much of Sora’s memory. But the forgiveness in Sora’s heart moved her to disobey those orders.
Because Naminé based the false memories on Sora’s feelings toward Kairi, Sora believed he and Naminé had been friends since childhood.
But truth be told, the two had never met before Castle Oblivion.
Now she watches over Sora until the reconstruction of his memories is complete.

Riku Replica
A replica of Riku created by Vexen from the real Riku’s data.
Unlike the real Riku, he wields darkness freely, but is burdened by the fact he is an imitation.
Through Naminé’s power he was infused with false memories and made to believe he was the real Riku.
The truth has wounded him deeply.

Ansem
Pursuer of darkness.
To open the door to darkness, Ansem used the Heartless to steal countless hearts.
He enslaved Riku, but met his demise at Sora’s hand.
Nonetheless, Ansem’s shadow lives on in the depths of Riku’s heart.

Vexen
No.4 in the Organization.
A man absorbed in his dubious research in Castle Oblivion.
He, Lexaeus, and Zexion have been in the group since its inception, and there is no love lost between them and neophytes like Marluxia.
Vexen tried to destroy Sora by controlling Riku and putting the two against each other.
After battling Riku, Vexen turns to events unfolding aboveground (he confronted Sora personally), but successive failures lead to his termination by Axel.

Lexaeus
No.5 in the Organization.
A born warrior, Lexaeus effortlessly brandishes a gigantic tomahawk.
To counterbalance his rival Marluxia’s bid for Sora’s power, Lexaeus tried to conquer Riku.
He failed, but with his dying strength dragged Riku into realm of darkness.

Zexion
No.6 in the Organization.
Zexion generally avoids dirtying his own hands when there are deeds to be done. However, with the destruction of Vexen and Lexaeus, he was forced into action.
Zexion confronted Riku disguised as Sora. But Riku no longer feared dark, and victory was beyond Zexion’s reach.

Axel
No.8 in the Organization.
A mysterious figure who stands in Sora’s path.
Hard to read, half the time Axel seems to just be messing around… but for all we know, he’s done more thinking than everyone else put together.
He is a shadow whose intentions and secrets are hidden from all.
Axel has no qualms about exploiting others to suit his needs. He used Sora and Naminé to silence Marluxia and halt his plot against the Organization.
Axel claims that he and Sora have something in common, but that connection is unclear.

Marluxia
No.11 in the Organization.
Lord of Castle Oblivion and a member of the Organization.
Marluxia lured Sora to Castle Oblivion in hopes of using his power to seize the Organiztion.
He ordered Naminé to alter Sora’s memories, and fooled Vexen into challenging him. All was going according to plan, but Marluxia’s scheme dissolved when Axel set Naminé free.
Marluxia was ultimately destroyed by Sora.
In a move to bring the group under control, Marluxia used Naminé to overrun Sora’s memory and tried to claim the power of the Keyblade.

Larxene
No.12 in the Organization.
Larxene is unfeeling and loves nothing more than to bring other people down.
She is on good terms with Axel but still mocks everyone and trusts no one.
Larxene conspired with Marluxia to take over the group, and intended to pull Axel in as well.
However, her abrasive, unfeeling personality proved her downfall- provoking Sora’s anger was a fatal error.

DiZ
Truly an enigma.
DiZ appeared before Riku in the guise of Ansem, presenting him with choices regarding the darkness within his heart.
It is said he and the king have met.

Jimeny Cricket
Keeps a journal of everyone’s adventures.
Also acts as Pinocchio’s conscience, so he’ll know right from wrong.

The Moogles
A strange race that seems to pop up just about anywhere.
In Castle Oblivion, the moogles run shops where Sora can trade in unwanted cards.

Leon
A cool and collected swordsman who wields a gunblade. His real name: Squall Leonhart.
Leon once fought with Sora against the Heartless, but the Leon we met in Castle Oblivion is a product of Sora’s memory, so he can’t remember much of what happened before.

Yuffie
A girl whose cheerful personality belies her painful memories. When she was still young the Heartless robbed her of her home.
Never one to sweat the small stuff, Yuffie seems unfazed by her fuddled memory.

Aerith
A young woman who fought the Heartless. Her calm demeanor hides an unbreakable will.
Aerith also has a mysterious sense of truth, and is aware that Traverse Town and its inhabitants are a figment of Sora’s memory.

Cid
A gifted pilot who saved Leon and the others from the Heartless when they were just children.
Cid lives in Traverse Town now.

Cloud
A swordsman hired by Hades to take out Hercules. Cloud seeks the true memories he has lost.
Were they memories of someone dear to him, or memories of his own hazy past?

Tidus
A young boy from Sora’s islands with a sunny personality and lots of energy.
Tidus has no shortage of confidence either, and considers himself a champ at everything.

Wakka
A boy from Sora’s islands.
Despite being the oldest, Wakka is modest and takes good care of his friends.

Selphie
A perky girl from Sora’s islands.
Selphie is assertive and tends to leap before she looks, and she also has a romantic side.
