Tiny like a teensy tiny thing. I'm also amused that Even is apparently teensy Ienzo's babysitter. Because that's a good plan, Ansem. (Seriously, who gave him "the Wise" as a moniker and can that be taken back?) And I think it may be something to do with the whole de facto ruler of the world thing. Who else is gonna take in strays? (See also Kairi's adoption by the mayor of Destiny Islands.)
Terra and Aqua (and Ven, once he got dropped off brainless and drooling) were clearly raised in a way that was way too sheltered. People in their early twenties should not be that naive! Riku at five years old is clearly way more insightful than Terra, which is just sad, even when we make allowances for his rather uncanny abilities. Terra clearly has them too, given his future-flashes, he just... fails at using them.
Well, it does seem like they were raised together by the same master. (Yen Sid...? someone else Xehanort stabbed? idk) And given that forgiveness for past transgressions is a Thing in this series... idk, maybe he just really likes his voice and his sauciness. For Xehanort proper is so very saucy.
I think you can even argue that Xehanort himself is blinded by his ideals, it's just that all of his are darkness-shaped. He's clearly still capable of some forms of compassion, given that he did take a bit of pity on Ven once he, you know, tore him in half and all. "Oh well, murdered by child for science, but he was a good boy, here's a nice place for you to die then." ...also given what Xehanort did it's not like there isn't a reason for the stigma but these things do seem to be changing.
Again, I blame that on a lack of female figures in her life to tell her that no, you don't have to be super-fancy and flippy--but hell, she's got the best defensive move of the three of them, so why not be fancy? Also yes, she is the only level-headed one of the three of them, and I love her so much. Coolest keybearer, hands-down. (Sorry Riku, you are a little too much Sora's best friend to be quite as cool as her, but you do come in second.)
Aren't all of the dream eaters just so cute/pretty? I loooooove the boss fights in this game for the most part, and Riku's side in Notre Dame is so much fun!
