The Princesses of Heart

The Princesses of Heart are maidens who possess no darkness in their hearts. Contrary to popular belief, they are not exactly the same as the Disney Princesses; Ariel and Mulan are not counted among them, while Alice is, and fellow princesses Pocahontas, Kida, Esmeralda, and Tiana have yet to appear in the series at all. The Princesses of Heart were kidnapped so that their hearts could be used to open the pathway to "Kingdom Hearts". The seventh is revealed to be Kairi, who regains her heart when Sora pierces himself with the Dark Keyblade. This completes the pathway to Kingdom Hearts but releases the hearts of the princesses which were used to create the Dark Keyblade. The six princesses remain at Hollow Bastion to hold the darkness at bay until the door to Kingdom Hearts is sealed, returning to their homeworlds soon after.

• Aurora, a romantic princess-to-be who came from the same world as Maleficent, the Enchanted Dominion, based on Sleeping Beauty. She, along with Snow White and Cinderella, are set to appear in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. She is the first princess to be captured by Maleficent as she begins her scheme of gathering the princesses. 
• Cinderella, a hardworking young woman who is the second captured princess from the Castle of Dreams. She, along with Snow White and Aurora, is set to appear in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. 
• Belle, is a strong-willed young woman who resides in Beast's Castle, caring for the Beast and healing the loneliness he endured. When Maleficent captures Belle as the third captive princess, the Beast made his way to Hollow Bastion to save her. Returning to her world, due to Xaldin's actions, Belle was almost forced to leave Beast.
• Snow White, a beautiful kindhearted princess who is the fourth captured princess from Dwarf Woodlands. She, along with Aurora and Cinderella, is set to appear in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. In the first game, if you do not complete Wonderland before Deep Jungle, Snow White will replace Alice in a scene in which the Disney Villians have captured her with the Heartless. As Ven meets Snow White, he attempts to protect her from the Queen who has Terra do her dirty work. When Aqua arrives at Dwarf Woodlands, Snow White had already eaten the poisoned apple and thus hadn't seen her. 
• Alice, a precocious young girl who has stumbled into Wonderland, and is also the first of only two princesses Sora and company meet before she was captured by Maleficent. She is the fifth princess to be captured while being put on trial by the Queen of Hearts. 
• Jasmine is a headstrong, beautiful, smart princess living in Agrabah, and the second of only two princesses that Sora encounters before she is taken to Hollow Bastion by Riku as the sixth captured princess of heart.
