Personality Description:
This boy has a brave and very heroic personality. Sora is loyal to his friends, believes in them with all his heart and will go to the ends of the earth for them. There isn't a single moment of hesitation to what Sora will sacrifice to keep them safe, even if it means losing his own heart and he always has the utmost faith that everything will turn out just fine. It’s not just his friends that he wants to protect but all those around him even if he’s never met them before. While traveling with his friends it isn't uncommon to see Sora stop to help someone else out when he can. Even though Sora has his own goal that can easily overshadow the other things in his life there's no way Sora could ever leave his friends to fight alone, and it often gains the loyalty of those who know him.
He has an amazing capacity to forgive people if he believes that they truly regret what they did and usually when he forgives someone that tends to be the end of it for him. Sora can also hold a grudge against those who are merely faking regret and if they continue with their plan he will stand against them until the bitter end. While he knows that defeating the Nobodies was the only way to stop them he does feel a little bad that it had to come to such a thing in the first place. Taking a life is a heavy burden (Nobodies or not) and rather then trying to pass the whole thing off as something he had to do he takes the responsibility of ending a life which can sometimes make him feel a little guilty.
Sora is highly competitive and it often shows when there’s a chance to show off his skills – even if he fails time and time again against Riku and their numerous activities. It's not just Riku and his friends that Sora's always trying to get the better of but he tries to beat his own scores in various stuff and practices on his own if it's possible. He never gives up even though he fails showing stubbornness and determination in everything he does as he picks himself up and tries again until he gets it just right. When something seems impossible or out-of-reach Sora will face it head-on until he can do it the way he's supposed to.
A lot of the times Sora is very gullible and oblivious to the things around him, yet he is far from stupid. After he woke up the Nobodies would constantly call him Roxas and it annoyed him but despite all the hints he was presented Sora never figured it out on his own and had to have Riku point it out. Even so he's capable of learning new things so long as he has a patient teacher (or one willing to teach him in the first place) and he can even pick up various things on his own. Mainly he excels in the physical side of things like learning how to pilot a gummi ship, working on one, fighting outside of the box (like using chandeliers) and is even good with directions and reading maps. While he doesn't like things like school and learning from a book if another way is presented to him that's fun and interesting Sora can definitely pick it up. Sora lets his heart lead him most of the time and this can often help him figure out who left him stuff as hints to help keep him going to do what he needs to. On rare occasions this can connect him emotionally to someone enough to almost sense what they're feeling. If he gets really close to someone Sora can pick up on various signs and behaviors to figure out that there's something they don't want to talk about.
He is very friendly and out-going and often times he doesn’t let the bad things drag him down as he prefers to be optimist rather than pessimistic. Most people can find him with a smile on his face and it's very easy to get him to laugh or to get him to join in some joyous occasion. Sora can sometimes be described as a big dorky kid who enjoys just hanging out with his friends, doing some random childish activity like drawing (even though he sucks at it) or even slacking off by sleeping. He also tends to act like a little kid and becomes excited over simple things such as holidays or meeting Santa or the possibility of being king. This kid has ambitious dreams and it can spread to those around him into believing they can make them possible.
Yet he can be serious if the situation calls for it, easily adapting to whatever the moment needs him to be. While he doesn't have strong leadership skills it's not hard to see Sora in that position and it often draws loyal people who want to follow after him and stand beside him in battle. As time goes by that leadership skill has grown stronger from when he first left Destiny Islands but there are times when he fails and may not realize it. There may be times when he becomes discouraged and even disheartened but when he realizes that people need someone to be there for them, Sora can easily pull himself together as they are his strength.
Time, experiences and the people in Sora's life have widened his outlook no longer seeing things in black or white, good or evil, wrong or right and taught him to look beyond those simple things. He was so willing to accept whatever was put in front of him but since the start of the journey has begun to look deeper into people and situations so he can make better judgments for himself. At first he was even a reluctant hero wanting to find his friends more than to save the worlds. From there he started believing the whole romanticized idea of a hero that you hear about in tales and stories. While that has gotten him pretty far he's realized that it takes a lot more than just accepting his role, saving his friends and the worlds, defeating the bad guy and getting home. He knows that the fight between light and darkness will always continue on and has taken his role seriously in order to protect not just those close to him but look out for the safety of everyone he possibly can. Still a hero can dream of a better world for everyone, right?
At this point Sora knows that several people have sacrificed their own lives in order to protect not only him but the worlds and given up so much to make sure that he can continue on. When he was first faced with his Nobody Sora fought him without a second thought nor did he hold back just because he was under the impression that Roxas was just another member of the Organization to get passed. Once he learned the truth Sora instantly wanted to meet his Nobody (for various reason in my opinion) but when he did Sora was rather surprised and mostly unable to say what he wanted to. For all of those people who sacrificed some piece of themselves for him Sora is eternally grateful and will spend every moment he has wanting to express his appreciation. He even showed a hint of kindness and forgiveness for Maleficent when she helped him and his friends.
It’s rare but Sora has been known to get angry usually on behalf of some injustice done and it makes him act more irrational than normal. That can lead him into rushing into dangerous situations alone or even confronting an enemy that's way outside his league although Sora doesn't have suicidal tendencies he will sacrifice himself for his friends safety. Usually these outbursts are because someone has hurt his friends as most of the stuff done to him gets waved off as no big deal because as long as he has his friends in his heart then anything physical is just not as important. One of Sora's main weaknesses and strengths are his friends, they can drive him on towards his goal with a fierce intensity like no other but there isn't anything Sora wouldn't do for them - include getting down on his knees in front of an enemy.
Just because Sora's got a handy side to helping with mechanical stuff he is actually horrible with computers and anything regarding programming unless someone is there to explain stuff to him. He can easily pilot a gummi ship, help Cid put one together, use the communicator device and even physically fight a program Sora absolutely fails with typing as he utilizes the hunt-and-peck method on a keyboard and when he gets frustrated with it Sora's not above banging on it.
Nearly everyone is treated the same when Sora first comes across them and he treats them more like a friend even if they have a higher authority, but he does know when he should be a little respectful in certain situations. To go along with it Sora's very casual when it comes to things like titles or status, and while he may call them by their proper titles he treats them more like they're all old friends. Sora respects them all for all of their strengths and skills and will even admit that he would have never gotten where he is without them but that doesn't mean he won't sometimes go against them if he feels that's the right thing to do. He sometimes has an issue with personal space and often invades it for one reason or another. Other times people are the first to make physical contact with him and ruffle his hair which Sora gets indignant over but also enjoys it. There a few he's not instantly friendly with and those are the ones who are known enemies.
Over the years Sora's grown accustomed to always having someone around - whether it's Riku and Kairi, or people he's met along his travels - he's hardly ever alone so he often turns to them for advice, friendly chats or when rushing into danger expects to have someone back him up. He's the curious type always trying to learn new things about the country he's visiting and he can often have a blatant disregard for social status and maybe even a couple of laws depending on what they are - people's lives are much more important to him than some rules. All of Sora's emotions are worn on his face, what you see is what you get - from the happiest of smiles, to the angry glares down to the tears of sadness and of joy.

Key Personality Differences:
Sora is damaged with a capital “D”. That’s what happens when someone spends nearly three and a half years in a torture facility. Most of the time Sora tries to repress his damaged self but seeing as how he wears his emotions on his sleeve it’s easy to tell when he shuts down. There’s no hiding the hurt or sadness from his eyes when it comes. It also means that Sora tries so much harder to do silly things that will make people happy. Even though he’s seen so much pain and death Sora still clings to his childish things like Santa or having parties. If he sees the chance to do something fun, Sora will jump on it. Life in the Facility hadn’t been an easy one so in between the horrors he wanted to see people smile.
Losing people had never been easy for Sora to accept, he always fought with everything he has to get them back but now it’s even harder because there have been times when he couldn’t do anything to save them. Sora has had to watch the people around him die, has stood over them and been unable to revive them. Considering his relatively outgoing nature that tends to get him all sorts of friends, this means Sora’s lost of lot of people he cared for over the years and it never gets any easier. It’s actually a fear of his, to lose those he cares for, a major one. But it’s also why he fights so much harder to keep them alive, why he doesn’t give up on them even after they’re dead.
Injuries are something Sora’s gotten used to seeing. He tries to act professional when there’s a gushing wound or a broken leg and most of the time it works. It’s when the job is over that Sora allows himself to feel, allows himself to collapse and emotions to flood in. When he manages to heal someone it’s so much easier to smile than if he failed them. He’s also pretty self-sacrificing in times of trouble too, more so than usual, because of the limitations on his healing spell. It was reduced to only being able to heal a person once a day at 20% while he could heal himself all he wanted. So when he would get injured in a big battle Sora would only heal himself enough to stay alive and upright in order to heal other people sooner. Sora would also gladly sacrifice himself in order to save someone else, even if they were a complete stranger.
With all of the losses Sora has suffered over the years, one would think that he was completely beaten down but he’s not. While he allows himself to have moments of deep sadness he always manages to pick himself up – sometimes with the help of others. He surprised Josh with the strength of his resolve to face something terrible head-on. It’s actually the strength other people have given him, all the people who’ve died or kept going. Sora relies on it, sometimes more heavily than he usually does and sometimes he denies wanting company when he really needs it.
Due to life in the Facility and living years with Riku and even living with others Sora doesn’t do well living by himself. The quiet, empty feeling isn’t something he likes. He adjusted to the idea of having a home and not just a house. Even in the early year he always invited people over or hung out in shared spaces. Sora even took to sleeping in a public place just for the noise of others around him. The more happy chaos, the better. There are also other things that Facility has changed him, such as knowing that familiar faces won’t always know him in return or staying awake on Saturday night to check for the next experiment. Sometimes when he’s confused or surprised Sora forgets about holding back on information he has about other people’s lives but he generally tries to make friends with them all over again.
Unlike some of his fellow clones, Sora is pretty well-adjusted to being a clone of the original Sora. While at first he was reluctant to even believe it when the whole Facility learned about it, time has pretty much been his friend in this area. He doesn’t care that he’s a clone, doesn’t care that other people are clones as well because he believes that it’s their memories and feelings that make them who they are, that make them real. Being a clone won’t stop him from a happy ending, though Sora’s accepted that he’ll never go to the real Destiny Islands. It will, however, stop him from doing things with the real versions of his friends. Like he may never be able tell any Riku about his relationship with his clone version, try to keep his friends separate from the one he has so many extra memories of. Telling them about anything he’s ever been through in the Facility will be difficult, opening up on that part of his life isn’t something he wants to burden them with. It was hard enough to do it with the people who’ve actually experienced something similar. He tries to be like the real Sora despite everything: optimistic, cheery, friendly, and forgiving. Some days it’s easier than others to be like that.
There is one major thing that he doesn't even try to be anything like the real Sora and that's a hero - JR or otherwise. He's failed people so many times that at one point he couldn't even bear someone calling him a hero. Sora couldn't stand the idea of anyone thinking of him that way and even told some people not to. Recently he's allowed people to call him that but he doesn't believe it when said because he doesn't feel like a hero of any kind. He also has thing about promises made about staying with him or to save someone, even ones made to himself because he knows that there's just no controlling something like that in a place like the Facility.

Relationships:
For the longest time Sora had a huge crush on Kairi, so much so that it started a rivalry with his best friend. She showed up out of the blue one day from another world and it inspired both of the boys to want to leave Destiny Islands. Sure they'd met others before, namely Aqua (and Riku had met Terra) but Kairi was a constant source of encouragement and support rather than the mysterious people who seemed to disappear after that one encounter. While Sora had other friends growing up, Kairi was one of his two best ones - the one who was the same age as him. By the time he was fourteen he had more feelings for her than just friendship. She teased him and he got seriously embarrassed over it, he even drew on the pictures of them giving her a Paopu fruit. Those feelings didn't change even over his journey as he thought of Kairi when he saw Will and Elizabeth embracing.
More importantly, Kairi has been something he constantly is trying to run towards. The first journey was all about finding his friends after the islands were lost but when he discovered that something was wrong with her, well, Sora was willing to give up anything for her. Including his own heart. In the end, he sacrificed himself to release her heart from his where it was being kept safe within his own. Sora let himself become a Heartless in order to save her. It was her light that brought him back and her light that constantly guides him. In Castle Oblivion he forgot all about her and in her place was Kairi's Nobody named Naminé. While he felt for her, Sora wanted his true memories back. While Naminé fixed his memories it was his connection to Kairi that helped everyone remember him again after they'd forgotten him. "Starts with an S, right Sora?"
Throughout the last half of his journey it was his promise to her that he'd find Riku and they'd both come home that was really his main goal. Sure, stopping Organization XIII was important too but more-so was that promise to Kairi. So when he stumbled across her in the World that Never Was, it was a huge relief. It had been a long time since Sora had seen her and despite the dangerous situation he was glad to see her. And it was Kairi that allowed Sora to see past Riku's new appearance to his heart. For just a moment there it actually became more important to stop Xemnas that it was to get home to where she was waiting but being stuck after, getting a letter from her was enough to connect them once again across worlds.
While stuck in the Facility, he missed Kairi a great deal but he never wanted her to show up there with all of the horrors they saw. It was enough - for a time - to just know that he'd get out and go home to her. That actually gave him strength for the longest time even if he did draw her face alongside those other friends he'd made and missed, he also had a stuffed lion of her (and Riku) from Santa from that first Christmas that Sora kept close. When he learned that he was actually a clone, he didn't think for a single moment that she wouldn't accept him. Kairi didn't care about that kind of thing and because he knew that the real versions of his friends didn't care, neither did he. That is exactly the reason he doesn't have any issues with being a copy of the real Sora.
When she did finally show up in the Facility, Sora had already been there for a year and a half. A long to be consciously aware of not being with one of your two friends. At first the sheer joy and excitement of seeing her made him forget that now she was in a dangerous position too and he instantly sought her out so they could have. Even as a clone, Kairi had the heart of a Princess of Light. It was soothing on his broken one. They often tried to stay positive with each other, always looking for the good in a situation or sticking together. Sora's deep feelings were still there for her but at that point he was in relationship with Riku and he isn't the kind of person to cheat. That doesn't mean he wasn't sometimes still embarrassed by the things she talked about, especially since Naminé and Xion were around. Despite that they all looked out for each other, he still worried about her. Worried about how the experiments might affect her like they'd affected him with time. He started teaching her things such as; Keyblade Wielding, healing (with & without magic) and various other things.
By the time of her termination almost a year later, he thought of her more like a sister than a crush. All of the girls were his like his sisters and Sora was devastated by the idea that even Kairi could be terminated. Rather than deal with it, he went into stasis while Naminé fixed his memories that had been messed up due to an experiment. Truthfully, he still hasn't dealt with it and going to Hinoto-Ri where she was living didn't help that. Sora felt the loss of Kairi in their house after she was gone, he felt it when she fell comatose in another world. It was one of the losses that devastated him the most, along with Roxas and Axel.
Honestly, Donald and Goofy were the two oddest people Sora has ever met along his travels. They were pretty accepting right from the start and made sure he generally had something to smile about. It really helped that Sora was just as strange as they were and they got along great. Okay, maybe not all of the time but Donald has a limited amount of patience. All Sora wanted to do was fly the Gummi Ship for once but noooo the duck couldn't handle that. Still Sora never would have made it as far as he did without those two and they became some of his best friends. While he made friends in every world they went to that would last for a lifetime, Donald and Goofy were the ones who stuck with him through it all. Except for that one time when they went with Riku who was also a Keyblade Bearer. In the end they did come back to Sora's side and help him save his other friend from the darkness.
It really helped that they had a similar goal: find their friend somewhere across the worlds. And Sora is the kind of person who helps everyone he comes across so if they could save worlds then all the better. They were always with him, backing him up whatever decision he made, having his back in fights and Sora became so used to that. Their support has helped him get through some tough situations and he's grateful for it. He worries about them but knows that they can take care of themselves most of time.
While technically this clone version has never met two of real Sora's best friends, his heart knows them. He often thought of them during his time in the torture box, the pair of them make him laugh even if they weren't together. More importantly, he loved to tell stories about their adventures. Nothing better to get a smile out of someone than tell one of the wacky stories about two of his wackiest friends. They could also be an aspiring story at times when he talked about their loyalty to both him and their king. He does hope that maybe one day he can meet them for real.
In all honesty, if you want to know how Sora's friends have shaped him then it wouldn't be right to leave out some of his more important game CR. If I listed all of his friends that have affected him, we'd be here for a month or so. So we'll start with Roxas. He knew of his Nobody when coming into the Facility but they'd only had brief, ethereal-like encounters before. It was a little awkward at first, mostly on Roxas' behalf since he remembered becoming whole with Sora. But for Sora it was just like having another self. Eventually Roxas warmed up to him and they relied on each other a great deal, like...almost symbiotically sometimes. They sometimes only grieved together, even going so far as to wait for the other before it could really start.
When things happened, they were often a pair - where one was, the other wasn't far behind. They worked in tandem when healing was needed since even when all of their other powers were given back at full strength, their healing wasn't. So it really wasn't too strange to have them both come by for a healing session. At first there was a lot of things that Sora was teaching his Nobody about but at the end, it was Roxas who was teaching him stuff. The really were like brothers rather than Other and Nobody sometimes. Because of their symbiotic relationship, Roxas' termination was almost too much for him to bare. Seriously. He just wanted to curl up in a corner, cry and never leave despite the words his Nobody had left him.
Then there's Axel. The Nobody who sacrificed himself for Sora. Yeah. That was certainly a relationship that had a huge affect on him. At first he only saw him as another part of the Organization, though his heart had feelings he couldn't explain. Due to the sacrifice, Sora didn't immediately distrust the Nobody. Though they didn't always get along. His hero-tendencies gave Axel plenty of headaches over their time in the Facility and he knows that he's had his own fair share of pain over Axel. At first they started out as just acquaintances. People from the same worlds who knew each other and could talk about random things, maybe help each other in a tough situation. But then Axel became someone he started to depend on. Especially after his first Valentine's Day event. Sora almost lost himself that day and would have if it wasn't for Axel. It changed the whole dynamic of their relationship. He started to look up towards the Nobody, really started to bond with him. They sparred weekly and Sora started teaching him healing magic.
Eventually he started to think of Axel as his brother-in-law, especially when Axel started dating Roxas. Sora didn't know want to know the intimate details of their relationship and it was something Axel liked to tease him over. So Axel really did become like family to him, that sometimes-annoying but dependable brother-in-law. When he went home to experience the events of 3Ds, of course he thought Axel was dead the entire time. That's why when he showed back up after, he thought Axel was a ghost. It took some serious explaining on Axel's behalf, the description of events after what Sora remembered for him to accept it. Though Axel's new beating heart helped. He couldn't quite get used to calling him Lea so he just called him Axelea. After that he started helping Axelea with Keyblade training. Facing Roxas' termination was twice as hard because Axelea had been terminated at the same time. Two of the people from home who had been there longer than him had just met the incinerator and were going to become part of the hundreds of ashes that already made up the biodome ground. It really didn't help that Naminé, Leon, Kairi and Mera (Repliku) had been terminated in the weeks before. Their house felt quiet with just three of them left.
Now for some CR that isn't someone from canon. Allen Walker. While Allen had been in the Facility longer than Sora, they didn't meet right away. And even then it wasn't the time to really make friends. He answered a call for help from the exorcist to help him find someone in the rubble of a building. That was the start of it but they didn't talk again for a while. After a few encounters, Sora could really call them friends but their most important developments came when they hit D.Gray-man-style London on the last day of three weeks. Sora was the only person allowed into a certain room of Noah's Ark. He used all of his shonen-ness and Power of FriendshipTM to cheer Allen up. While they had plenty of friendly encounters, they also had their hard times. Sometimes it was Allen perking him up and others it was the other way around. There's a lot he knows about the other teen and he can honestly say that Allen is the best and closest friend he made out of his cross-world relationships. They can talk about just about anything together...except relationships because wow, they were both too embarrassed to talk about that part of their lives too much. Allen taught him a lot including: juggling, tightrope walking, poker, spotting a cheater, walking on his hands and various other things that the exorcist could do from early childhood. In fact, he knows Allen from early childhood. Or at least he likes to think that way ever since the events that turned them both five. Sora got through to a grumpy, mistrusting "Red" and managed to become friends with him. He even kinda became frienemies with the Fourteenth. Oh man, the weeks when multiple Allens showed up was the most massive confusion Sora has even been included in. Sora has also made good friends with Allen's golem friend, Tim. They mourned together one time after Allen's death.
Because of his close relationship with Allen, he also has a good relationship with the other exorcists from Allen's world. Komui was someone he looked up to, Kanda was a less-wacky version of grumpy Donald, Alma was Sora's little buddy who did all the childish things with Sora, Link was the serious guy who was at first that stalker who always followed Allen around. And then there was Lavi. At first he didn't really talk to Lavi but then the guy lost part of his lung and asked for help. Sora gave it to him. After that was when the real relationship started. While there's a lot he doesn't know about the red-headed exorcist, he also knows a great deal. He especially knows about the prankster who doesn't like to sit around in some clinic waiting to be healed. Man, get him with Axel and there was bound to be some sort of shenanigans about to happen. Sometimes Sora joined in when Lavi's health wasn't at stake. But Lavi was one person who trusted him after knowing him a couple of years and Sora was glad to have that trust.
Then comes Sora's relationship with the ninjas of the Naruto-verse. His closest friend would be Shikamaru Naru. Sora looked up to the shinobi a great deal, trying to help with keeping up their guide on the place or trying to lift Shikamaru's spirits. He even started calling him Shika. Whenever he had a situation or problem he couldn't figure out, he always went to Shikamaru with it. It was this ninja who started to teach him a little about technology and especially locking his posts. Of course he also had a friendship with Tsunade. Okay, maybe he was a little afraid of her too. It started out that he wanted to help her out with his magic, or maybe even just help her organize some files she had on patients. Eventually she started teaching him non-magical medical methods. Most of the stuff he knows about setting broken bones or dealing with poison came from her and he appreciates it.
There were always familiar faces in the Facility, people he knew that didn't know him in return. Sora had a pretty good relationship with Cloud, a bad one with Sephiroth, a neutral one with Vincent and a friendly one in the case of Cid. But no one more than with Tifa. Over the course of their time there together, he came to think of her as his mom. It was bittersweet when she showed back up for a short amount of time because he was so happy to see her and tell her all of the things she missed out on but knew she'd go back to the incinerator. Another of his mother figures was Inazuma, who was sometimes a man but really, Sora's seen stranger things. It was her who was there when Sora got 'married' and helped him get ready. He also thought of Milla as a sort of mother, she just seemed to mother everyone but his time with her was pretty short or she kept coming and going without any memories of the place so it always hurt.
There are so many more I could talk about; Xion who was like a sister and tried to keep everyone's spirits up when things were too rough that he couldn't. She even helped him on several occasions. Naminé who he called Nami and was also one of his sisters. The one person he trusted to go inside and fix his memories not once but twice. Mera (Repliku) who was like a grumpier version of Riku but Sora cared for him and made sure felt like he was his own person. Leon who had been there twice and made sure he was training properly and not losing himself to the darkness. 6 who was his little buddy that he liked to draw with.
But let's talk about The Worlds Ends With You cast, who Sora knew long before he met them in the sleeping Traverse Town. Joshua and Neku always seemed to be a pair no matter when they showed up. He didn't understand everything right away and was so hurt by the first termination that he couldn't bare to make friends with them the second time around. However the third time was the charm. Sora was dragged into their world first when they ended up in an experiment together. People had to die in order for the others to escape and he volunteered to be one. Both sides had people they wanted to protect. Relations weren't really good after that especially when Sora was terminated not long after that. When he returned he talked to Joshua who was responsible for his death, Joshua apologized but Sora said he's already forgiven him. It eased tension a little and he started talking to both Joshua and Neku more. They became friends pretty quickly, not just him but other people from his home too.
Then Sora was given memories of the events of his Mastery test and suddenly he didn't just know the versions he'd seen in the Facility. They'd become of Sora's life outside of it now too. He knew things that he'd never known before, asked questions that clearly said he knew more than what they'd told him. That's about when Shiki and Rhyme showed up to complicate things even further. Sora became a confidant of sorts, the group telling him things or entrusting their safety since they were all intricately connected to each other. When Roxas and Axel were terminated Neku was one of the people who helped bring him out of hiding. He might have lost two family members that day but he gained one too in the form of Neku. While Neku could never take Roxas' place, it gave him one more reason to keep moving. What really hurt was when Shiki died and since her Partner was Neku, it meant his life was at stake too. Sora couldn't save Neku, watched his brother die in front of him and even begged Joshua to bring him back, bargaining his own life in the process. That was the day that Joshua saw something in Sora, saw what all of the horrors of the Facility over the years had changed in him. He wouldn't leave Shiki alone, he brought back her decapitated body rather than leave it from the robots to collect. When they both came back to life, he was immensely relieved, wanted them all to move in to maybe help with the quiet of their house. People don't really expect to see someone after they've been terminated and the TWEWY cast was no different when Sora showed up in Hinoto-Ri. What must they have thought when he suddenly disappeared on them again?
More importantly, Kairi has been something he constantly is trying to run towards. The first journey was all about finding his friends after the islands were lost but when he discovered that something was wrong with her, well, Sora was willing to give up anything for her. Including his own heart. In the end, he sacrificed himself to release her heart from his where it was being kept safe within his own. Sora let himself become a Heartless in order to save her. It was her light that brought him back and her light that constantly guides him. In Castle Oblivion he forgot all about her and in her place was Kairi's Nobody named Naminé. While he felt for her, Sora wanted his true memories back. While Naminé fixed his memories it was his connection to Kairi that helped everyone remember him again after they'd forgotten him. "Starts with an S, right Sora?"
Throughout the last half of his journey it was his promise to her that he'd find Riku and they'd both come home that was really his main goal. Sure, stopping Organization XIII was important too but more-so was that promise to Kairi. So when he stumbled across her in the World that Never Was, it was a huge relief. It had been a long time since Sora had seen her and despite the dangerous situation he was glad to see her. And it was Kairi that allowed Sora to see past Riku's new appearance to his heart. For just a moment there it actually became more important to stop Xemnas that it was to get home to where she was waiting but being stuck after, getting a letter from her was enough to connect them once again across worlds.
While stuck in the Facility, he missed Kairi a great deal but he never wanted her to show up there with all of the horrors they saw. It was enough - for a time - to just know that he'd get out and go home to her. That actually gave him strength for the longest time even if he did draw her face alongside those other friends he'd made and missed, he also had a stuffed lion of her (and Riku) from Santa from that first Christmas that Sora kept close. When he learned that he was actually a clone, he didn't think for a single moment that she wouldn't accept him. Kairi didn't care about that kind of thing and because he knew that the real versions of his friends didn't care, neither did he. That is exactly the reason he doesn't have any issues with being a copy of the real Sora.
When she did finally show up in the Facility, Sora had already been there for a year and a half. A long to be consciously aware of not being with one of your two friends. At first the sheer joy and excitement of seeing her made him forget that now she was in a dangerous position too and he instantly sought her out so they could have. Even as a clone, Kairi had the heart of a Princess of Light. It was soothing on his broken one. They often tried to stay positive with each other, always looking for the good in a situation or sticking together. Sora's deep feelings were still there for her but at that point he was in relationship with Riku and he isn't the kind of person to cheat. That doesn't mean he wasn't sometimes still embarrassed by the things she talked about, especially since Naminé and Xion were around. Despite that they all looked out for each other, he still worried about her. Worried about how the experiments might affect her like they'd affected him with time. He started teaching her things such as; Keyblade Wielding, healing (with & without magic) and various other things.
By the time of her termination almost a year later, he thought of her more like a sister than a crush.

- There is a tiny barcode tattoo located just above his heart. It reads V4.0.
- Physically looks about 17 but mentally he's 19.
- Electric shocks no longer affect him.
- Slightly thinner than he normally is. And slightly taller. Not nearly as dark either.
- Always wears gloves.
- A large scar on his left arm from a healed week-long flesh-eating bacteria experiment.
- A long vicious scar down his right arm from Genie wish week when he summoned Zolephant. The Dream Eater turned on him like all wishes did.
Items
- Has a spayed female orange tabby cat named Mittens that sometimes travels around in his coat hood or on his shoulder. She is not afraid of anything. :| Before she was spayed Mittens had six kittens (most of which were given away). He won't have them all, just Mittens.

Mental
- Has memories of being FF!Cloud who believed he was FF!Zack.
- Has memories of living in Loveless world.
- Had his head messed with by a Skrull!Namine and real!Namine had to fix him up. She's seen some of this.
- Sora has become a bit of a hoarder in his time at Fac. When he finds supplies, he takes as much as he can carry.
- Sora is a clone of the original Sora. The Consortium couldn't figure out how to stabilize them completely so he is prone to something called "clone sickness". Basically it means that he can just drop into unconsciousness at any given point in time. It can also mean that he dies at complete random too.
- There is a tiny barcode tattoo located just above his heart. It reads V4.0.
- Physically looks about 17 but mentally he's 19.
- Electric shocks no longer affect him.
- Slightly thinner than he normally is. And slightly taller. Not nearly as dark either.
- Always wears gloves.
- A large scar on his left arm from a healed week-long flesh-eating bacteria experiment.
- A long vicious scar down his right arm from Genie wish week when he summoned Zolephant. The Dream Eater turned on him like all wishes did.
Items
- Has a spayed female orange tabby cat named Mittens that sometimes travels around in his coat hood or on his shoulder. She is not afraid of anything. :| Before she was spayed Mittens had six kittens (most of which were given away). He won't have them all, just Mittens.
Life
- Was married to Fac-Riku on April 17, 2011 (though it's not exactly legal). He also recognizes Roxas and Axel as being married. (Calls his version "Axelea")
- Knows about Neku and Shiki dating.
- Knows an awful lot about Josh’s true nature.
- Draws pictures of his new-found friends in his journal.
- Sees Riku, Kairi, Namine, Xion, Mera (Replica Riku), Axel, Roxas and Neku as family.
- Is far more aware about Terra, Ventus and Aqua then he would be in canon. He spent the most time with Terra than Ventus. Aqua never actually showed up in the Facility but he remembers her.
- Sora's pretty much learned that familiar faces are not always people who know him in return.
- Sora is very used to living a 27 hour day.
- Even though he has memories up until his battle with Xemnas in KH3D Sora knows some things about what happens after. Axelea was the one to tell him about it. Like he knows that Riku was the only one to become a Master, that Axel and some of the Nobodies became whole again. That he was rescued from the Organization's clutches by Riku.

Third Person Sample:
This couldn’t be another F3, could it? If a computer could recreate entire cities then why not one that was as bleak and grief stricken as this one? Back when he woke up that white building could have just been a new F1, nicer beds with more locked rooms and a surveillance room. It did have all of the makings another version of that life he knew so well. A new cover on the wrapper didn’t make it any better on the inside. That much was clear by the ear attachment that hurt to tug on. So when an unfamiliar voice asked him to pick a number he’d chosen subconsciously.
Three, that was the magic number. The number reminded him of a lot of things, including those F3s that always seemed to be just a little bit better. No food bars they had to eat, no white walls and he had wanted to get away as fast as he could from those rooms that held no one he knew. More importantly, that held no one who knew him. It was going to be like Hinoto-Ri with a world filled with people he knew but didn’t know him in return. A painful experience no matter how many times he went through it and he’d been through it more times than he cared to count. Not just at the small piece of something better but from the early months in the Facility that started with Mulan. After her the numbers of people who didn’t recognize him only grew larger.
Since Sora had wanted to get away and just have a moment to himself; he’d pressed ‘three’ as quickly as possible and had ended up her in this ruined city. It wasn’t so bad. Not as bad as Abyss had been, what with them all struggling to breath in the toxic air. He’d have to scavenge for food but Sora was no stranger to that life. Even the graveyard was a familiar sight even though it didn’t look like the one the biodome had become. Anytime he tried to talk to anyone they skittered off into their homes or mumbled quiet things he couldn’t hear and finally he started just moving through the city. He pulled the hood of his jacket up over his face and stuffed his hands deep into his pockets, Mittens perching on his shoulder automatically.
Even though he doesn’t look as though he’s seeing anything but the ground in front of him, Sora is searching for a place to hole up for the night. That doesn’t mean he sees everything so when he accidentally bumped into someone, he stumbled back a few steps and looked up at them slowly. “Sorry, my fault. I’ll watch where I’m going next time.”
