Biography
THAT'S THE POWER OF THE KEYBLADE!

He lives on the Destiny Islands with his best friends Riku and Kairi, and all three of them dream of venturing from Destiny Islands to find out what lies beyond. His home was consumed by darkness, sending him on a journey to many worlds across the Realm of Light. An upbeat youth, he travels with his new friends Goofy and Donald Duck in search of his missing friends, and uses his newly acquired weapon, the Keyblade, to put an end to the threats that destroyed his world.

THE LEGACY OF SORA
 * Kingdom Hearts
 * Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
 * Kingdom Hearts II
 * Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
 * Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep
 * Kingdom Hearts Coded
 * Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Opening
Sora is along with Kairi and Riku on the palm tree in Destiny Islands. Sora then suggests to get something for them to snack. Kairi suggests to pluck Paopu Fruit since they taste so good. Sora agrees and heads out to get some. As he plucked a few Paopu Fruit a dark portal opens, Sora drops the Paopu Fruit and heads inside.

Rival
Name: Lara Croft

Reason: Sora despertly wants to find his way back home to go to his friends when he suddenly encounters Lara Croft. He heads over to her and asks if she possibly could find a way out of this. Lara Croft refuses and says he has to find his own way out. Sora is angry and says he asked it nicely but apparently has to use brute force to get it out of her.

Connection: Both Sora and Lara Croft have something to do with movies. While Sora's games involve going to Disney worlds that are based on Disney movies and cartoons, Tomb Raider has had several film adaptations in the past. Both also travel to different places, usually in search of someone or something. Sora is owned by Square Enix and Square Enix also got the rights of Tomb Raider recently.

Ending
Sora runs back to his friends and tells that he just had another adventure, Riku then mocks him by asking why he couldn't bring them along. Sora smiles, Kairi then asks Sora where the Paopu Fruit is. Sora rubs the back of his head and says he will be back in a minute. Riku then shouts not to go on adventure again this time.

Gameplay
Sora has the ability to wield the Keyblade. He can use various abilities involving the keyblade and also is capable of using magic. Sora has a great aerial game, hard-to-gimp recovery, good disjointed range on most of his moves, amazing aerial combos, useful advanced techniques, and decent ground game. However, he still suffers from being lightweight.
