Aqua
Aqua (Japanese: アクア? Hepburn: Akua), also known as Master Aqua (マスター・アクア? Masutā Akua), is a fictional character from Square Enix's video game franchise Kingdom Hearts. Having first made cameo appearances in Kingdom Hearts II and its updated version Final Mix, Aqua is one of the three protagonists who is introduced in the 2010 prequel Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. She is one of the Keyblade apprentices training under Master Eraqus alongside her friends Terra and Ventus. As Eraqus' friend Master Xehanort leaves, Aqua and Terra are assigned to find him and defeat creatures known as the Unversed. She also appeared in other Kingdom Hearts titles, most notably Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue.
Unlike Terra and Ventus, Aqua is the only protagonist who did not have a point of reference for Tetsuya Nomura to design from, and thus was designed from scratch. Later in the design process, Nomura became concerned that Aqua would not be popular, and this drove his decision to make her very distinct in her personal bravery and combat abilities. While her outfit design was based on Terra's, her movements were chosen to distinguish her from other characters by having her specialize in magical combat. Aqua is voiced by Megumi Toyoguchi in Japanese and Willa Holland in English.
Aqua received mixed reviews from game critics, citing boring plot lines and unenthusiastic voice acting combined with weak combat skills. With fans, Aqua was well received, and is one of Kingdom Hearts' most popular characters. Nevertheless, her return in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue has received positive response by critics.
Before her introduction as a main character in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Aqua had earlier made small appearances in the secret endings from Kingdom Hearts II and its re-release, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. Both events depicted Terra, Ventus and Aqua fighting Xehanort and Vanitas. In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Xehanort's "Nobody", Xemnas goes to the Radiant Garden's secret room to visit Aqua's Keyblade and armor.
