Hearts.
Once upon a time she had hated the water. It represented death. You could drown in it, choke by it, it could freeze you; it was death. But now she realized that it also represented life. Without water there would be no plants to grow and thrive and bloom beautifully and, not to mention, provide humans with oxygen. Without water people would dehydrate and die. Water was a symbol of yin and yang, as all elements were. She had Sora to thank for her great enlightenment. He had invited her to his island. She almost declined the invitation, but he begged her to come. She couldn't swim she told him, and he taught her how. He questioned her hatred of water. She told him, "It's pure evil. My mother was killed by a water-based Heartless." He frowned and shook his head, "But water is also the basis of life. It can be extremely bad, but it can also be really good."
She thought about that. Water was just like any other element. They were all equally dangerous and equally good.
