Organization XIII’s Trinkets

As in, which small objects do they like to keep and why?

Xemnas: He has a dried flower in his room. Small, orange with five petals; Ienzo gave it to him back when he was still going by Xehanort and was Ansem’s apprentice. Xemnas doesn’t really get why he’s keeping it, but he feels a strange ache where his Heart should be when he looks at it.

Xigbar: He still has Braig’s scarf, buried somewhere deep inside his closet. He can’t really wear it with the coat, and (being Luxu) doesn’t even really care about it, but trying to throw it away would require a lot of willpower, so he doesn’t.

Xaldin: A thin, simple silver necklace; a present from his past love. Of course, he’d claim he doesn’t actually care about it anymore, but it still exists within a securely locked box in the bottom drawer of his desk. He hasn’t looked at it in years, but he still can’t bring himself to throw it away.

Vexen: Vexen still owns his very first labcoat - Or what’s left of it. Even if it were still intact, it’d be way too small for him now, since he’s been into science from a pretty young age. It isn’t, though; during one of his experiments, he managed to mess up badly enough that there’s not much left. He never told anyone exactly what happened, but some parts seem to have been burned with acid, others look singed; the only other person who knows is Ansem the Wise, who worked on it with Even. Of course, now Vexen would claim he keeps it just as a reminder to never get distracted in the lab, but he might also just feel a little bit nostalgic about the time he and Ansem were just curious kids.

Lexaeus: Even though their weapons were replaced after becoming Nobodies, Lexaeus still has both his old axesword and Dilan’s old lance. They might have better weapons now, but he sometimes likes to think back to the time they were still guards in Radiant Garden.

Zexion: A black and white 24-piece Rubik’s Snake; he got it from Ansem the Wise at some point, and genuinely enjoys trying out new patterns. He’s amazingly good at it, too. He’d love to have one of the longer ones, though.

Saix: He has a collection of old pictures from when Lea and he were kids. Since the photos are over 10 years old, the quality may not be the greatest and there’s some wear and tear, but he still treasures them. As the norting continued, they were moved from being on the wall above his desk into one of its drawers, but even now he sometimes takes them out to look at them.

Axel: He still has the chakrams/frisbees he used as a kid. He doesn’t really use them anymore now - The other adult organization members would probably laugh at him if he asked them for a game, he never really thought about bringing it up with Roxas and Xion, and for fighting he’s got more effective chakrams now - but he sometimes takes it out to look at it. Remember the time he and Isa tried to cheer up a boy named Ventus who looks so much like Roxas.

Demyx: On the corner of his (admittedly rather messy) desk, there is a guitar pick. He’s never used it, since a) he plays sitar, not guitar, and b) he prefers to play with his fingers anyway, but there is something aside from his general messiness and laziness that’s keeping him from just throwing it out. It’s got a picture of a blooming Dandelion on it, and while Demyx has no idea how he got the pick, he sometimes spends quite a while just looking at it.

Luxord: Luxord usually carries his favorite die around with him in his coat pocket. Rather than wood or plastic, this one is an iron die; he doesn’t remember where and how he got it, but he is somewhat attached to it. Interestingly, he never uses this die to play games.

Marluxia: He owns a handpainted bookmark, showing a strelitzia blossom, a white rose, and something very similar to a grey tabby cat. The first time he saw it, shortly before he lost his Heart, he cried, though he doesn’t understand why. He’s tried to get to the bottom of it through the meanings of the respective flowers, though he hasn’t found an answer that makes sense. It’s like a puzzle he just HAS to solve.

Larxene: She has a small pink purse with a white star, hidden somewhere deep inside her wardrobe. She’s not going to admit to it, but whenever she looks at it, she feels like she’s missing something. There’s been more than a few times that she threw it in the trash can in her room, but every time, she ended up pulling it back out and putting it back in her wardrobe.

Roxas: He hasn’t had much time to gather all that many trinkets, sadly. Two things he values quite a bit are one of the seashells he got from Xion while he was asleep, and the “Winner” ice cream stick, things that remind him of his best friends.

Xion: Similar to Roxas, she didn’t have much time to collect various trinkets. She does have quite a collection of seashells, though. Her two favorites are a rather spikey red one and a small yellow one.
