Ava

Story and background

Responsible for forming the Dandelions, Ava tries to preserve young wielders by keeping them away from the disastrous first Keyblade War.

Events and connections in the series

The Master trained six apprentices. Five became the Foretellers: Ira, Aced, Invi, Gula, and Ava. They led five Unions of Keyblade wielders in Daybreak Town, where young warriors travelled through worlds projected from the Book of Prophecies and collected Lux, the light they believed could protect the future. The sixth apprentice was Luxu. Unlike the others, he was not given command of a Union. He was given a mission that would last generations.

Ira was expected to lead when the Master disappeared. Aced was placed in a position that could challenge him. Invi would observe and maintain balance. Gula was told to identify a traitor. Ava was to gather exceptional wielders into a group called the Dandelions, so that some could survive the coming war. Their separate instructions sounded practical in isolation. Together they guaranteed that, after the Master's disappearance, suspicion would replace trust.

Among the ordinary wielders of Daybreak Town were three friends whose choices would echo for centuries: a young Keyblade wielder we will call the Player, and their friends Ephemer and Skuld. Ava recruited gifted wielders as Dandelions, sending them toward survival rather than the battlefield. Ephemer and Skuld joined, but the Player initially chose to stay behind. The importance of that choice would only become clear later.

Historical context

The ancient Keyblade era is remembered through competing accounts of prophecy, the Foretellers and the Dandelions. Individual motivations matter because the Master of Masters assigns different responsibilities that the apprentices do not fully understand. The consequences reach far beyond the first Keyblade War.
