Description
Aka; the Kingdom Hearts variant of Whimzy that got so complicated, I decided to make her her own entity.
Her full bio can be found here, on her roleplay blog. (I highly suggest checking this, as the playlist I have set for the blog as a whole encapsulates the gist of her true story in the form of music tracks.)
For those who can't see it for whatever reason, here is a copy and paste. Keep in mind that as the roleplay blog progresses, more details are being added.
GIVEN NAME: Fayette. (pronounced fae-yet)
ORIGINAL NAME: Whilreanis “Whimzy” Hunnie. (pronounced will-ree-ah-nis)

WORLD OF CURRENT INHABITANCE: Traverse Town.
AGE FROM FORMATION: 3 years.
AGE OF THE SOMEBODY: 42 before heart was stolen. The Nobody reflects this.
HEIGHT (UNIFIED AMONG BOTH BODIES): 165.2 cm, roughly 5'4".
WEIGHT (NOBODY): 15.4 kg, or 34 lbs.
WEIGHT (INITIAL, AS OF 3 YR. OLD RECORDS): 60.7 kg, or 134 lbs.
APPEARANCE OF HEART: Partially filled, with only a third left slightly transparent within the main body of it. A dark, upside-down spire lies beneath it that’s darkly colored, but attached to the main heart body. The spire is not natural.
VOICE CLAIM (JAPANESE): Otome Arisugawa from Aikatsu! Idol Activities.
VOICE CLAIM (ENGLISH): Midna from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
MENTAL CAPABILITIES OF THE NOBODY.
- Advanced understanding of speech; the nobody can very clearly process the language of humans and the language of other nobodies. However, the nobody cannot cohesively speak in normal human language, and the accent of normal nobody language heavily bleeds through, making words unintelligible.
- General ability to feel and emote; the nobody has begun growing a heart, and likely is nearing at least two-thirds of a whole heart as of the third year of development.
PHYSICAL CAPABILITIES OF THE NOBODY.
- Form shifting; the heart of Whilreanis, despite being strong and holding one of the lights that kept HOPE’S PEAK safe from the darkness, is still fundamentally fragile from having no ability to wield its bloodline’s keyblade. The nobody’s body is stuck fading in-between that of the ultimate class of nobodies and a simple higher-ranking one. As of the development of the heart, these forms are based on the state of emotions.
- Element of wind; the nobody’s primary attacks entirely focus around lasting in the air via wind magic and light weight. Has not used this often.
- Sensing hearts; the nobody can ‘smell’ the very core parts of one’s heart. This includes the light or darkness one gives off, and is her primary way of identifying nobodies. Those without hearts have no smells for her to track.
PROLOGUE - THE SOMEBODY.
It begins in the long-lost days from before the Keyblade War.
Two wielders came across a world with a fractured barrier of light; the world of HOPE’S PEAK. Shaped strangely like a crown with two small mountains to the east and west and a considerably large one that pierced the very sunset in the middle, those two took it upon themselves to protect the world from the darkness until the barrier could be fixed.
One wielder went to the east. The other… the west. But not before making a promise to bequeath their keyblades to those who would be able to defend the worlds should the time come.
The barrier was never fixed. So, the two wielders never left Hope’s Peak, officially deviating from their former homes entirely, even as the war raged. Their hearts became bound to the very foundation of the world itself.
After many years, the wielder in the west faced sudden illness. Already having a child of their own after so much time, they caressed their face gently in their soon-to-be final moments.
The West Wielder did not keep their promise. They passed before they could bequeath the keyblade.
However…
A fragment of their heart- a piece of their gentle and powerful light- was passed onto their child in their last moments, and that would start a great change in Hope’s Peak.
The mountain in the middle, the true peak, suddenly started to shake and crumble. The very earth of the world shook, and the darkness shot up from below the core, devouring the entire mountain.
It left nothing but a giant ravine, permanently severing any connection between the East, the legacy of the Eternal Vows Keyblade, and the West, the legacy of the Undying Heart.
For years, ancestor after ancestor would gain the fragment in a ritual developed by the child of the West Wielder. Only those of direct bloodline held a claim to the Light, and this eventually lead to Margaux and her child, Whilreanis.
After preparing her daughter for her destiny since the day she was born, Margaux told her the true power within. The true meaning behind the ritual, entirely on her 18th birthday.
“Sweetbee.”
“Mother?”
“I have… something important to tell you. Regarding passing on the light.”
“What… What is it?”
“My body… It has long since been supported by the light. Your ancestor, the first one to gain this light, they… They went on to be hundreds of years old before passing it along when they were ready. I, too, am a being of centuries.”
“But… You don’t look it.”
“Because that is how the Light works. It keeps us whole until we’re ready to pass the heart on. Even now, it’s keeping the very fabric of my existence together.”
“What do you mean, mère?”
“…I did not think I was ready to ever pass on the burden of keeping this world safe. But… Once I met your father, once I had you… I knew I wouldn’t have any regrets.”
“…”
“My sweetbee… once I pass the Light on to you, my body will finally be sent to the ether. My soul will finally rest.”
“…Oh.”
“And I just… I want you to know that I don’t regret a single thing. And I don’t want you to, either.”
“But…”
“Shh.”
A hug between mother and child.
“It’s alright.”
The daughter returns it.
“I will always be with you, in your heart. Never forget that.”
The next week, Margaux passed on the Undying Heart to Whilreanis, setting into motion a new era to Hope’s Peak.
Things were fine. The two communities of the East and West thrived, despite having no way to communicate with each other.
Whilreanis met a lovely man named Romano. The two became fast friends.
He was an active geologist, enthralled with the ravine that separated the two halves of the world. She shared some of the very little knowledge left from that time that her family had saved, and it very quickly began a partnership into figuring out what caused it.
Through this, they eventually began to feel more than a sense of friendship towards each other.
At the age of 39, she was officially married to Romano, and the two lived happy, loving lives, even if she didn’t seem to ever look a day over 25 while he was very clearly aging.
At least…
They DID live happy lives until Romano disappeared entirely after he went to go investigate the ravine one day.
No body. No trace of him left.
At 42, she’d lost her husband, and felt a sense of emptiness undefinable with words.
This was the darkness setting into the fragile piece of her heart, and with the darkness came weakness.
And without warning, a huge heartless arose from the ravine. Whilreanis rushed to it, trying to stop it. But without a keyblade, she was helpless.
Whilreanis’ heart was stolen, dragged to the depths of the ravine with the heartless. The fragment of light escaped, and was nowhere to be seen again as her body was left limp.
One of the two lights of Hope’s Peak was officially gone, and the earth below the people’s feet once again shook as the entirety of the West was engulfed by a dark wave from the ravine.
Only the East remained now, and it’s legacy of the keyblade wielder.
START KINGDOM HEARTS ONE; THE NOBODY.
In the East, a wielder named Nora lived. Aged around 36, she watched as the West fell.
A pit grew in her stomach, but she quelled it for the sake of protecting her people. Her life. The true stakes of what could happen were on the table, and now it was more a time than ever to buckle down and remain strong.
A week after the West was engulfed, Nora found an unconscious body of a strange person in the woods- a person with the Nobody Emblem.
She took in the Nobody.
After coming to, they had no memory of anything. No trace of who they used to be. Even through the challenges with language, Nora managed to get across that they were safe, and that she wasn’t going to hurt them. She had the Nobody cover up their emblem for the sake of “order”, as she called it, but really… it was just for safety.
The next few months were strange. It was like she was a baby, but at the same time, the Nobody knew everything. She could understand what everyone was saying, and even could sign. It was just speaking that she had problems with, along with understanding the concepts of emotions.
They made progress, though.
And one day, Nora got the nobody to say her name.
“Nnnoooohra!”
Beaming, she tapped the Nobody’s nose, and calmly spoke.
“Fay-ette.”
From then on, the Nobody had a name.
And Fayette would grow to slowly become more expressive.
When Fayette finally grew to have her full human-like form on constantly instead of only when she tried hard, nearly a whole year had passed since Nora first found her. It was so much, and they’d grown to be like entire sisters.
But one day, Nora said she had to go take care of something. A big monster in the town square.
A heartless.
She said she’d be back soon, but she never was.
The light of the east had fallen to the dark, and Fayette felt fear for the very first time when she saw a wave of what looked to be demons rushing towards her, engulfing everything in their path like the town down below.
A feeling of fuzziness overtook her, and without warning, she was sent to sleep.
Only to wake up in an unfamiliar place of warm yellows and browns; Traverse Town.
Fayette was scared, confused, and sad all at once, but… the town wasn’t so bad, when she got used to it. Sometime’s she’d hear a familiar voice pulling at her, telling her to go one way, and when she listened, she’d end up finding something interesting or nice.
Listening to that voice landed her in her cozy little house, full of fluffy blankets, pillows, and rugs on top of a nice, warm decor.
From here, she’d interact with the others in Traverse Town. She became a figure, of sorts. The happy-go-lucky bee girl who always affectionately refers to people by names for responses, and signs when needed.
Only when she gets really scared or threatened does she ever revert to her higher-ranking nobody form, and thankfully, no one in the town has seen it.
Yet.
But their warm presences alone make her feel safe, so it’s likely it won’t be happening anytime soon.
She’s spent 2 years in Traverse Town so far, and is looking forward to many more, even if there’s certain things that keep tickling at her brain. Like there’s something important she’s forgetting with her growing heart.
But that’s all to be found in the future, found with new meetings and new growth.
She’ll wait for that, as long as it takes.
