What does it mean to be a princess of heart?

[enigmaticBHK]

The princesses of heart have no darkness in their hearts. So, does this mean they've never thought a mean thought or done something bad? If not, what does it mean to have no darkness in one's heart, and what qualifies as darkness?

P.S. Why are all the people with pure hearts women?

 

[Crystal-Wings]

It mean that their hearts are more purier than others. All hearts, except Kairi, have very little darkness in them. Darkness is something I cannot quialifiy, but it is something that gives people in Kingdom Hearts the ability to be greedy, have dark thoughts, envious, and all those kinds of stuff.

For your P.S:
1. Because it spacifically says Princesses of Hearts, thus it has to be women.
2. Because woman tend to be more gental than man at times, I'm not saying all woman are gental and men are rough. I myself make people scaried and make some guys cower into a corner.

It basically means their hearts are purer then most... As for defining Darkness of the Heart, I don't think I could do that, sorry...

Because, then they wouldn't be Princesses, would they?

I suppose it means no negative emotions or thoughts. Something among those lines.

EY!!!! That's sexism right there!! I'LL LET YOU KNOW THAT I HAPPEN TO BE AS GENTLE AS A KITTEN (and if u didn't notice, I'm a dude)!!!

Being a princess of heart means that they will never turn into a heartless because they have pure hearts(no darkness within the heart)

I wonder if they can hate, and if there is some kind of tier ranking. Belle and Jasmine both had kind of rough adventures and neither of them really came out of it unscathed. (i.e. Jasmine kissed Jafar) so do they count as a higher or lower princess or something? If they don't ever feel jealousy or hatred I don't know if I would consider them human.

So much for inner balance and one not being able to co-exsist without the other.

I totally agree. It seems creepy and unnatural for the princesses of heart to never get angry or feel jealous etc. That's part of what makes people human.

AtW said in the first Ansem Report:

"I believe darkness sleeps in every heart, no matter how pure."


So, does this mean no one has a pure heart free of darkness?

What does this make the princesses?

 

[madammina]

Maybe it just takes alot more to turn them to darkness.

And that explains why Kairi is so ****ed up, isn't that right So-ra?

Princess of Heart means that there is no darkness in their hearts. They are pure. And thats why when Kairi's heart left her body, she didnt become a heartless. Same with the other princesses. They will never turn to darkness.

1. Because it spacifically says Princesses of Hearts, thus it has to be women.

I lol'd at this explanation. :toungesmile:

 

[yhitzak]

All through the game, I tried to figure out who the 7 princesses were, and my list did not match the reality. Alice was just a little girl, no royalty in her blood, so why is she a princess of heart? Because Wonderland made a good world to visit. And why isn't Ariel considered a princess of heart? She's actually a princess, and she's pretty darn tough, too.

But to get back on-topic, the whole theme of Kingdom Hearts (all 3 games) is strength of heart. That every heart is weak, every heart contains darkness, but that what separates the likes of Sora and the princesses from the likes of Maleficent and the Heartless is the inability to be overcome by those weak or dark points. Sora became a Heartless but did not lose his heart. According to KH lore, that *should* be impossible. Even by the end of KH2, there's no *concrete* answer as to why Sora retained his heart as a Heartless and why the other characters made it out of the battle the way that they did. You pretty much have to come to that conclusion on your own.

There's a good deal of mystery in this series, but it's not just for mystery's sake. The point is make you think about your self, to question what it means to *you* to have strength or darkness within your heart. The princesses weren't spiritually spotless (they fought in battle, too, even if not to the same degree as those fighting for them). Most good people in this world don't have spotless spirits, either. Ultimately, *that* is the lesson of Kingdom Hearts: choice. Darkness or lightness of the heart is ultimately determined by the choices we make.

As for what *is* this "darkness of the heart," I think that's a question that mankind has been asking for as long as it has existed. Personally, I don't think 'bad' thoughts automatically qualify a person as having 'darkness' in his/her heart. Like I said, it's about the choices you make. And like Sora said, "My heart may be weak, but it's not alone." This isn't an idea unique to this game or story, it's an idea that has been crucial to humanity for thousands of years.

Then again, maybe the princesses are just virgins. Or is that not what ya'll mean by "purity?"

The Seven Princesses of Heart are mainly Disney for the except of Kairi are a exceptional group of women as they have pure hearts made only of light and contain no darkness thus unable to form a Heartless and a Nobody (except for Kairi)

 

[Antiquity]

I think being a Princess of Heart, darkness couldn't really touch them. They may seem mad at times (Jasmine, Alice in a way, Belle), but they only seem to be that way in the pursuit type thing of justice or warning or something (benefit of others?).

"Sora, catch him!" ~Jasmine
"You may be queen, but that doesn't give you the right to be, so mean!" ~Alice
"No, not tonight!" and her awesome punch to Xaldin ~Belle

Kairi...Well, I don't really think she's done anything dark in her life, only trying to help others. A Princess could probably feel dislike and anger, but nothing really to the extremes. They're probably also really gentle and friendly like in a way sorta like their movie parts (Well, I don't know about Jasmine a little bit).

 

[Stars]

In KH1.. i saw Belle become a shadow heartless.. is that true...?

Yea, that was a trick that Riku played to get Beast out of there. At that time, Belle was with Maleficent opening the Door to Darkness.

P.S. Why are all the people with pure hearts women?

Those questions have no definite answers because being pure of heart is really an opinion, it could mean that someone has never done anything wrong but can still have bad thoughts and so on. The qualities of darkness like yhitzak have been asked many times and to me what is and isn't darkness is only up to me, I may see something as dark but others may not.

PS. Because Nomura wants us men to seem evil.

Then again, maybe the princesses are just virgins.

Genius.
