Hello. My name is Xehanort. You can also call me Sora or Terra.

I have existed for a while. It's hard to say how long, because I was only just finally documented down a couple days ago from when I'm writing this (October 24th, 2026), but we have suspected I have existed for years. It was just a matter of...letting ourselves say it, I suppose.

I have a few different sources, but they are all Xehanort from Kingdom Hearts. My main source is the younger iterations of Xehanort, specifically with Dream Drop Distance and Dark Road in mind. However, I am also a couple of other Xehanorts: I am also a canon divergent Sora who was successfully turned into a vessel of Xehanort in Dream Drop Distance, and I am also Terra-Xehanort. They're all Xehanort, and they are all me. If it's easier for you to just associate me with one of these, that's fine; I'd prefer either young Xehanort or Sora be your choices, but I cannot control your actions.

Gender is a structure of the Realm of Light. I choose to defy that and be nonbinary. I use they/he pronouns. I'm also asexual; I've yet to figure out if I experience romantic attraction yet.

My role in this system is something we've chosen to name and define for ourselves, though I'm sure this is a role that's already been coined and exists if you look hard enough. If it is, I do not care. Regardless... My role in this system is to be an 'auto pilot'. If no one else is in front, I am there. To a degree, I'm always lurking beneath the surface. I'm what pilots our existence if no one else can or will. I keep us going. Think of it like...in some modern online games, if a player is disconnected from an online game, the game's programming may take over at that point automatically until the player is able to return, or someone takes their spot. I am here until someone else is able to be here.

I have strong opinions about the world of my source. Light is not good and darkness is not evil; I thought this was subtext at its most vague, otherwise outright textual, but I have observed over time that not everyone agrees. Neither light nor darkness are good in abundance, the key is for them to be in balance. During my time as a keyblade wielder, the side of light was far too heavily favored, which is why I joined the side of darkness and gained an interest in Kingdom Hearts. (Also, I...did not shave my head as a sign of my resolve. I don't know why Dark Road said that. I lost my hair as a result of delving into darkness for so long.) Time travel is not as complicated as people make it out to be, you are all weak-minded. Simple and Clean was never anything but relatable, if you thought it was nonsense you were privileged. I'm sure I have other takes that I've come to learn are 'hot', but I cannot think of them at this moment. I'll add them if I do.

Are we talking about what animals we relate to the essence of at the bottom of these introductions? I'm...I'm Xehanort. I don't know what else you want me to say.
