Age: 14
Role In Canon:X-blade component Vanitas' Other Main derpCharacter
Justification:I think that playing a girl!Ventus would be interesting, more so as she honest to god has no idea of what it means to be a girl, more so given the way that her teacher, Eraqus would have trained her. I mean, yea, there is her gender but outside that...I think that it wouldn't have mattered much based on the point that I am taking her. She was being trained to be a Keyblade Master who protected the worlds, and not, for example, a lady in high society.
What interests me about playing Girl!Ven is that first, she's interesting. Given that she grew up in such a sterile environment, she's has little to no outside contact with the world at large, and gender roles are something that is a Non-Issue. As I've said before, she was being trained to be a keyblade master - and that would have also coloured her perceptions of things. As far as she knows, a woman can still fight, be on the front lines and do all the things that a man can. Though yes, Aqua is stronger than Terra in some cases, that's just who Aqua is. Moving outside the sheltered world would present a chance for her to grow and form her opinions on what it is to be a female.
The Gardens will give her that chance to grow and develop as woman, and not a fighter, and it will also confuse the shit out of her when she does, eventually, start to physically mature into a woman. The game will also offer her the chance to get other role models that aren't her master, though obviously, Master Eraqus will also be an ideal in Ven's mind.
History: Here have a link, but basically, Ventus is coming in from just after Terra leaves the Land of departure...
Changes: The world is fully gender swapped - meaning that everyone's gender has been swapped around. Who was male is now female and vice versa. Terra and Aqua are still her best friends, and Ventus treats them as she would anyone else, though yes, she has lived a sheltered life and as such her bonds with her friends are a little different. But no so much in that it is noticeable.
It's much the same for her Master, Eraqus, a woman that Ventus looks up to and respects a great deal. Given the way that Eraqus would have trained them, the deeper differences between male and female would not have come up, and it would have mattered much. One is taught to use what strengths one has, after all. Due to the trauma of Vanitas' birth, her puberty was pushed back a number of years, so this issue may crop up in game.
Ven's relationship with Vanitas is still much the same, only the Other is less androgynous than Ventus is at this stage.
Personality: Ventus is a kind, loyal, happy and innocent girl who wants nothing more than to help people, as well as see new things and learn all that she can - as seen by her bedroom, filled with all sorts of things - books, a globe ect. She has an absolute faith in her friends, Aqua and Terra and would do anything for them and it would be in a heartbeat. Ventus also won’t think twice about helping another person out, even if there is a risk that she'll get hurt in the process. She's easily goaded into things, as seen with Vanitas's words that Terra will change if the older teenager goes to the outside world. This proves that Ventus is both naive to the darker side of the world and easily manipulated if she thinks that her friends are in danger. She will not hesitate to jump in and defend them and it can be implied that she would do this for Master Eraqus.
Being sheltered has given Ven a simplistic view of the world with Light being Good and darkness being Bad as taught by Master Eraqas. Due to this, Ventus isn't the type of girl would would do girly things - rather, she's more rough and tumble, something of tomboy, but this is more a result of how she was raised: to be a keyblade wielder - a defender of the Light. While Ventus does Identify as a woman, it's not that important - and anyway, Ventus has no idea what the differences are aide from that Aqua has to use a different bathroom than her and Terra. While Ventus is coming from a time before she traveled out into the worlds, it is worth noting that her travels will only serve to re-enforce this idea, because wherever she goes, she sees Unversed, often fighting them to protect others.
In her travels, she makes friends easily, showing that she's a very friendly and loveable person, if not a little overeager to do a lot of things, but again, that can be passed down to not only being sheltered and not allowed to go to other worlds, but the fact that she's only got four years worth of memories to draw on, and all of these being from her time with her teacher and friends.
This is because when she was 10/11, Ventus's former Master, Master Xehanort, tried to create the Ultimate weapon - the X-Blade. She failed because Ventus refused to give into the darkness, showing that if given the option, Ventus will side with the light over the Dark. Annoyed and at her wit's end, Xehanort unlocked the Darkness and negativity from Ven's heart, traumatizing the poor girl, along with breaking her heart into two; Light and Dark. As a result, Ven not only suppressed this, but all of her life up to that point.
Despite all of this, Ventus comes across as a rather optimistic person who is stuck on cheerful mode more often than not and while it can seem fake at times, it's not. It's simply who he is - she's a little ball of sunshine and light and those that can sense hearts have remarked on this. Though this isn't to say that she can't get depressed, as she can, but she seems to bounce back from blows, as seen whenever Aqua or Terra tell her to stay back, or that no, it's to dangerous for him ect.
Ventus loves to learn; and if she doesn't get information fast enough, or it's too vague, she'll become impatient, as seen with the seven dwarves in the Dwarf Woodlands... but she won't forget her manners, something that's very important to her and was more than likely drilled into her by both Xehanort and later Eraqus. She’s usually open to answering questions about herself as well. While she's young, Ventus is also a very, very stubborn young woman, who hates being treated like a kid - seen time and time again when she's told to go home, or go to her room, and and is eager to prove that she's not as childish as she looks - And she does in the Mastery Exam when she helps Terra and Aqua fight off the light balls that have gone AWOL due to an influence of Darkness. Terra also remarks that Ven's capable of looking after herself, she's been out there training with them every day, though this can also mean in the context of what she's liable to face at home in the Land of Departure; this stubborn trait can and will land her in hot water from time to time as despite all she's been through so far - fighting unversed, fighting Maleficent ect, she's yet to truly learn that not everything is as it looks and not everything should be investigated.
On a parting note, Ventus loves icecream. It's her favorite food and she'd eat it every meal if she could.
Abilities: Ventus is a keyblade wielder - and the only one to use the blade in a backwards grip. Along with this, she also has the ability to summon a suit of armor via the pauldron she wears, and her keyblade can turn into a glider.
Her spell and attack arsenal is tiny, but she makes up for that in speed and giving it her all in a spar.
