| Ready for the final battle |
If somebody is confused about how Vanitas come to look
like Sora well I can explain. Vanitas had taken too much of Ventus’s heart when
the first split in two. In the beginning, he looked like a humanoid-heartless
with red eyes and no face. Ventus about to lose his heart is approached by a
newborn heart (Sora) who shined his light on Ventus curing his broken heart.
This caused Vanitas to copy Sora’s face due to Sora connecting with Ventus. His
hair became black and his eyes turned yellow. His battle stand is similar to
Riku just because since Ventus is connected to Sora, then Vanitas received
different characteristics form the other connections Sora has made.

| Vanitas loses his only chance |
Vaintas can be very arrogant and ruthless and this is to
be expected because he is pure darkness. But, he is not pure darkness (at
first). In fact in the Birth by Sleep novel portrays Vanitas to be exactly like
Ventus when they first split (four years before the actual game). He was timid,
fragile and weak. Vanitas hated those words more than anything and blamed
Ventus for it. Vanitas was by himself and very lonely. He became sad when
Ventus left the Baldlands and wanted him back (despite that he would beat the
hell out of him every time he saw the poor unconscious boy). Vanitas can feel
feelings that Ventus can feel (being his other half of course), so he knows
well of feelings like love, kindness and other emotions. Just imagine Ventus
having a great time with Terra and Aqua while those warm family emotions are
transferred to Vanitas who is left alone and is surrounded by nothing but
lifeless keyblades and rocks.

| Vanitas only half reunited with Ventus |
After all those
years Vanitas became ruthless and his feelings became darker towards Ventus so
that the day when they fight, they can merge together ending his sorrowful
pain. That is the Vanitas that players met in the game.
