I'm proud to be a small part of something bigger--the people it did choose!❞
To say that Sora is 'naive and innocent', although a popular opinion, is a description that isn't true. His 'innocence' is his incredible sense of optimism. He believes things will work out in the end--he just knows he'll find Kairi and Riku, and there will be a happy ending. The protagonist of Kingdom Hearts isn't so much naive as he is... well, gullible--and even then, that only applies to some people. His enemies find him hard to fool--his heart seems to see through their plans easily. He's easily excitable (he was practically jumping at finding out Captain Jack was a real pirate) and still has many childhood beliefs (Santa, for example)--like the belief of good guys and bad guys. Sora believes in good and evil. If someone's bad? They're bad--and until they say they're sorry, they're on Sora's bad side. (Not too many people can get on Sora's bad side.) Like any teenage boy, he can become rash and childish in situations, usually followed by some sort of anger. The sheer amount of tenacity he contains can be a real problem in these cases, but it's also incredibly important for when he stands his ground. His competitive streak runs wild, which usually goes hand in hand with him just never giving up (Phil doesn't think he's good enough to be a true hero? Well, he'll prove it, then!).
When faced with helping others, Sora doesn't wait--he acts. Leap before you think! He impulsively says yes, always eager to help and try to be there to see someone's happy ending play out. When encountered with traveling to new worlds, Sora usually jumps at the chance. Making new friends, exploring the unknown--what could be better? He could find a new adventure, and new friends to share it alongside with. His impulsiveness isn't always a good thing, though. Jumping into battles and calling out his enemies runs along his childish side. He is, after all, quite the epitome of a child warrior; strong and durable, but very, very willing to call bad guys out on their weirdo hairdo. ("You think you can psych me out by saying really random stuff?!")
On the same hand, he can be extremely sweet. Such an example is his tendency to sacrifice his well-being for someone he met seconds ago, or doesn't even know at all, as he does countless times throughout the games. He is loyal to his friends, almost to a fault. You could say that as much as his friends are his power, they are his greatest weakness, and that is something his enemies sometimes exploit. God forbid that happens, however, because Sora is not near the top of Beware the Nice Ones for no reason.
He forgives Riku, his best friend, easier than he does anyone else. Riku, however, was the one that opened the door to darkness, plunging their homeworld into mortal danger. His loyalty doesn't end with only Riku and Kairi--in the second game, Donald and Goofy are on the same level.
Looking back at Kingdom Hearts (the first game), Sora has increased in his maturity. When he first claimed the Keyblade, he didn't understand too much and was clumsy, awkward. Even with a year lost, his entire outlook became much more heroic, and he embraced his position. He understood and grew with each step he took. This could be because of the time that passed, and the end of the first game--Sora realizes that his journey won't end too soon, so he should put more work into being a Keyblade wielder. It shows, as he stands taller and gives stern promises to help anyone he comes across in his second journey. While he still goes through this in his third journey, we see it in a different light. Sora's need to actually save people and save the day himself hampers his growth and other characterizations; he butts in and, most of the time, solves the problems for others instead of giving them advice and letting them solve their problems themselves.
Sora, probably because Destiny Islands is perceived to be a small place, does not show too much outright respect for the authority littered throughout Kingdom Hearts. He does not bow to Yen Sid (although Donald and Goofy do) or Queen Minnie (as Donald and Goofy also do). It gives the impression that Sora either does not think clearly, or simply does not have a strong sense of authority. Sora is a person who speaks heart-to-heart, not heart-to-status or status-to-status.
His greatest weaknesses are his stubbornness and pride. In the events of Dream Drop Distance, his pride in having saved the worlds many times over causes him to immediately brush off the exam, claiming that he doesn't need it, because he should have already earned the right to be named a Master. It is only when Riku relents and submits to taking the exam that Sora goes along with it. His stubbornness reflects as he speaks to the good number of incarnations of Xehanort that keep plaguing him through the game--he's too stubborn to really face them head-on, and holds onto his ideal that he can understand them to really refuse the ideas that they conjure up, to make him doubt and wonder about his own place and competence. He's too stubborn and wants to keep going, falling deeper into his dreams to find out the answer himself when he can hear Riku calling for him.
❝This is what lights the dark... a chance to make everyone happy!❞
Sora, as a Keyblade Wielder, has a Keyblade as his main weapon. The 'Keyblade' is a special weapon that acts like a sword, but is shaped as a key in it's default (Kingdom Key) form. It unlocks and locks almost anything imaginable--hearts, doors, worlds, etc. As a weapon, it's hard and blunt. It doesn't look like it would do much damage, though it obviously does, especially if it's clipped to another keychain. You see, the Keyblade has many different forms--all given to the blade by a specialized keychain. Sora usually receives these keychains by locking a world or visiting it for the last time. When he clips a new keychain in place of the default Kingdom Key keychain, it turns into an inspired design from that keychain. This is a common trait with all Keyblades.
On the other hand, Sora is not just a melee fighter. He has many spells in his arsenal--most that he learned himself or acquired on his journeys. He knows both offensive and healing magics (also known as black/white magic if we want to put it into Final Fantasy terms), such as Fire and Cure. He can only do these with his Keyblade present, however, as it's the main holder of his power.
Sora's style is a balanced mesh of melee and magic. For the most part, he relies on the hitting power of his Keyblade, his strength, and speed to destroy enemies.
In game, however, he will have none of his magic or magical abilities attuned to the Keyblade (such as physical commands/reaction commands, etc). His Keyblade will essentially be a normal blade (though its appearance will be changeable with Keychains, they won't have latent abilities like in canon) and he will rely on his normal strength.

A large part of that may have to do with the story behind her conception, being the spawn of a dubious witch and a dude trying to contain the essence of one of the Lords of Hell (and failing, as it were), but let's set all that aside. As far as she knows, she's more or less an average girl with some weird tendencies to see things she shouldn't. Her birth mother left her in the care of a mentally unstable woman and she had a rough childhood, never quite fitting in and preferring to slink around in sewers and caves in the desert rather than socialize. The other kids picked on her quite a lot for it, but she managed to tolerate the name-calling fairly well, for a young girl. And it paid off, later on, when her "Uncle" Deckard Cain came to take her away on his journeys with him.
During that time she got to fulfill her love of exploring, traveling all over the world in search of artifacts and lost tomes. Sure, Cain was a bit of a fanatic, obsessed with prophecies about something that had happened years ago, long enough that to someone like her, the tales came off as just that—stories. Her skepticism remained unmatched, even as things began to go wrong around her, such as the "falling star" landing on top of her and Cain while investigating an old, infamous cathedral. It's not until Cain's death and the Stranger's reveal as a fallen angel from the High Heavens who chose to become mortal in order to save humanity that she begins to believe that everything Cain had worked for really meant something, and vows to carry on his work. She is a very studious person and basically grew up having all the information pounded into her head from a young age. It isn't easy to grasp, but she tries.
Overall, Leah is a very sweet, caring girl. All the things that have happened in her life haven't tarnished her care for others and the cause she dedicates herself to. She tells the Hero she travels with that she wants to open an inn of her own someday, once everything settles down, just to give people all around a place to rest their weary heads. She may be more the type to go wandering into the desert to check out some ruins or paw through a library for hours rather than attend a party, but she is very devoted to the people she cares about and would do anything to protect them. She is, unfortunately, the type to be taken advantage of because of this, which ultimately leads to the worst luck she's ever had in life, but, well. She remains strong until the very end.

Being immortal and completely incapable of experiencing death or the threat of death, C.C. has grown as a woman going through the motions, waiting for the time to come where she can finally move on. She had made her contract with a nun at a very young age, giving her the power "to be loved" (and loved she was). She was lauded by the entire town, to the point where people tried to start a religion around her and thus true love began to lose its meaning. While she no longer has that power, the scars it left behind remain on C.C. present day. She comes across as flippant and callous, caring only to entertain herself with mundane tasks such as eating pizza or people watching. Her only goal in life is to end her life, which has gone on for hundreds of years past normal human life expectancy. In order to achieve this, she must contract with someone long enough for their Geass to fully mature, and then she must pass her curse onward to them. Thusfar, all prior contracts had failed to fulfill their end of the bargain for one reason or another. However, her contract with Lelouch vi Britannia gives her new purpose in life, which she discovers about half way through the second season.
C.C. can be seen as a lazy individual by outsiders thanks to her apathy. When she isn't being an accomplice to Lelouch, she sits around and does nothing without prompting (and, occasionally, won't even do things when prompted). Just as easily, she can sit up and participate in something she finds worthwhile, painting her as a mysterious woman who conveniently knows way more than she should. She can be blunt and to the point or just as easily participate in more philosophical conversation, depending on what is necessary of her at the present time. Truly, C.C.'s world generally revolves around her and her contractee at the time.
Her jaded nature often makes her appear cruel and heartless, and she has very little problem with that sort of reputation. C.C.'s Geass jaded her toward affections of all kinds, and so she sees little point in entertaining them for extended periods of time. However, that isn't to say that she is completely incapable of affection. Despite her Geass casting a spell over entire towns to give her false love, C.C. had shown motherly affection to the man she had contracted with prior to Lelouch. It largely comes across as pity and regret, but C.C. says herself that at one point she had loved him.
Having lived centuries, C.C.'s intelligence appears to be almost otherworldly and she comes off as very mysterious. She enjoys playing games with people and withholding information until she no longer finds it entertaining. That is not to say she is sadistic -- in fact, when the Black Knights begin to panic over Zero's demise, C.C. is quick to point out that Lelouch is, in fact, alive (though nobody believes her as she does not have proof). Ultimately, she is not a vicious or cruel person but simply trying to keep herself amused. Who could blame her, after living the same tired jokes over and over again?
C.C. has two true wishes in the world: to be loved and to die. While the former wish has been tarnished by time, it is still a deep desire that occasionally resurfaces when someone close to her pushes the right buttons. Ultimately, she will always say that she wishes to die, due to her complete inability to truly end her eternal life.
