End Notes

No, this is not the final chapter, no, this story is not done, no, I still don't own Disney, Square Enix or Kingdom Hearts.

I JUST FELT LIKE GETTIN' THIS OUTTA THE WAY, SEEING AS SOME PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY GUESSED:

The Little Heart is Sora (Big shocker, I know), The Other Heart is Ventus, The Silver/Adventurous Heart is Riku, The Pure Girl's Heart is Kairi, The Unwanted Heart is Roxas, The Empty Heart is Vanitas, and The Forgotten Heart is Xion.

(This list will update as the story develops, but y'all get the gist.)

It was pretty obvious who was who, but for those dying to know, here you go. You can rest easy, I guess lol. This next part is just worthless author drabble on the meaning behind the names, so reading is optional, I guess.

The Forgotten Heart: When writing the sixth chapter, I was having a sort of conversation in my head:

Thought 2: What should Xion be?
Thought 1: Xion should totally be the Forgotten Heart.
Thought 2: But that would make it, like, super obvious.
Thought 1: Can you think of a better name?
Thought 2: …...
Thought 1: See?
Thought 2: But she must've been called something before the whole "not existing anymore thing".
Thought 1: CAN. YOU. THINK. OF. A. NAME.
Thought 2: UGH, Fine. *mumbles this last part grumpily as I type in Forgotten Heart stubbornly* Stupid brain!

So, until I think of a better descriptive word for her, she'll remain the Forgotten Heart remembered by one.

Thought 1: But if you change it, then you'll have to take away the "I don't think you're very forgettable part." and you know how gosh darn awesome that line sounds. Thinking about it, you know it's pretty much the same as the line said to the Wanted Heart.
Thought 2: SHUT. UP.

The Empty Heart: Vainitas means emptiness... I'm not very creative. That, and I wasn't calling my little tea cup "Dark Heart". I'm not that unoriginal, guys. I have some small shred of dignity left.

Thought 1: That would've been a better name for Xion.
Thought 2: I WILL MURDER YOU.
Thought 1: But that would destroy your heart too, idiot.
Thought 2: …
Thought 2: Don't. You. Even. Dare.

The Unwanted heart/The Wanted Heart: I didn't come up for this one straight away like the two prior. I was looking back on Roxas's character and I was reading this thing on tumblr, so "unwanted" just seemed to fit Roxas's situation best. *shrugs*

The Pure Girl's Heart: Well, I don't think it's ever referred to this title exactly in the Second Heart, but it's just simple and straightforward. You could say *puts on sunglasses* simple and clean.

The Silver/Adventurous Heart: Riku's hair is silver (No, duh.) His powers are a balance of light and darkness, black and white, but not exactly, so: silver. Plus grey doesn't really seem that "fancy". In a chapter not yet released, he's also referred to the Adventurous Heart because he simply seemed to wanna go to other worlds, and, well, adventure.

The Other Heart and The Little Heart: When I was writing the first chapter, it was originally a oneshot. It was just an idea in my head that popped up one day in school, and I loved it, so I let it flow. I just had to get it out. This also is my explanation for why Ven's and Sora's first meeting hasn't been written yet. It just wasn't the first idea that came to mind.

At the time in BBS, Sora was, well, little. Cute, pure, innocent: all things I wanted to be associated with this heart. He was the Little Heart, and well this other heart just came along all la-de-da, so I thought, a "Other Heart" it shall be. He didn't have a name until I wrote a well good few paragraphs when its first said. It was easy, made sense and just came to me on the spot. (Makes you think what the Other Heart's name was before meeting the Little Heart... Head-canon goooooo!)

I'd like you to know, that some of these are names that the Little Heart assigned to these hearts, which is another reason why Other Heart is Other Heart, and Roxas is Unwanted Heart.

ALSO. If you enjoyed this story and would like to read what inspired this mess of a fanfiction, here's a list:
