Yeah. Okay...here, let me explain it like this. [oh man you shouldn't have asked...]
Aros is a Heartless. I'm an advanced form of a Heartless...we're called Nobodies. Nobodies are born when a heart is swallowed by darkness and becomes a Heartless. They are the remaining parts left behind by the heart: the body, giving a Nobody form, and the soul, giving the Nobody life. However, only those with strong wills (such as Sora) are actually able to continue on as Nobodies. Those with the strongest wills manage to retain human forms with some slight changes to their appearance, while the rest possess malformed, barely humanoid appearances. Therefore, the more humanoid a Nobody, the more powerful it is. This is opposite the nature of the Heartless, whose form is more monstrous the stronger the original heart is...
Because of the missing hearts, Nobodies lack emotion. Although, some humanoid Nobodies pretend to possess emotions, fooling others as well as themselves. On the other hand, Nobodies manage to keep their memories of their former lives, but unusual Nobodies lack memories of their former selves. Such memories are the reason why they can pretend to have emotions. However, even though Nobodies don't have emotions, they can think and plan (as opposed to the Heartless, which simply act on instinct, with a few exceptions, like Aros).
I'm one of those special Nobodies. I was born from Sora almost around the same time Aros was created. And when I was born, I was given a name by a man who was seeking out a goal that was almost intangible. Aros and I co-existed inside different parts of Sora's heart. When I was alive...for a long time, I wasn't like Aros, I didn't posess Sora's memories. I'm not supposed to be able to feel anything either. But...I don't know if it's just because we're part of Sora or what it is, Aros and I both know (even if he really, really won't admit it) that it's possible to feel something even if we're not supposed to.
It's...complicated, Fina. You're one of the very few who know, aside from the people of our world.

Have you met Axel? He's a Nobody too.
