14th.
A brief recap of Xion, the 14th member of the XIII Order.
-She has something to do with his memories.
-She wields a keyblade, which she claims is real and Riku claims is fake
-Riku believes her to be a Nobody
(I'd first like to announce this theory is going on the assumption Ven's heart/memories somehow reside within Sora.)
So theory:
14th is Aqua.
14th is not a Nobody.
In fact, 14th is not real.
The 14th is the incarnation of Ven's memories. Namely those of Aqua.
Let's say those missing memories that flow out incidentally become Aqua/14th/Xion.Namine: "Regardless of how I assemble the memories, they begin to flow out... If another memory is connected, it can't return to it's original source.
Diz: "If he is lacking a few memories, will he have a problem waking?
Namine: "For him, it would be an important key."
Diz: "Do you understand what it is?"
Namine: If its connected to another memory, surely she can't endure it.
Diz: "She...?"
Let's look at yet another bit of dialog the 14th is involved in.Front Gate of the Beast's Castle
Riku: "Who are you? Why do you have the keyblade?"
14th: "Why are you dressed like a member of the Organization?"
Riku: "Don't interfere with Sora's sleep!"
Riku: "What you have... That keyblade is fake."
14th: "Don't tell me that! You, don't lie!"
Riku: "Indeed, you may be a nobody."
If 14th is in fact a physical manifestation of memories, that would explain why Riku thinks the Keyblade is fake. Neither of them are lying, because I believe the 14th feels her keyblade is real, because her memories tell her its real.
IDK. I feel like I'm babbling.
Let's also look at the last part of the dialog, Riku saying the 14th might be a Nobody.
I can understand why he might think that, if 14th is really what I think she is.
She lacks a heart and she wears a cloak of nothingness.
Yeah. I don't blame Riku. But look at his word choice. 'Indeed, you may be a nobody" I think that insinuates he isn't sure.
Yeah.
I'm definitely babbling.
Now that I typed up the two things on my mind all day, I will go read Breaking Dawn.
I await your thrashings!
Oh.
