It is very hard to say how much he inherited from Terra, but there is at least the familiarity with Aqua's armor, to which he refers to as a "friend", and his strong desire to find his other "friend" in Castle Oblivion, as he has had Saïx and Axel search for the Chamber he sleeps in. From the former he inherited his manipulative nature and the ideas for the black coat and adding the letter "χ" to rename himself and his fellow Organization members. Xemnas' personality seemed to share traits from both beings who composed his original persona, Master Xehanort and Terra. He can be surprisingly honest and open at times, as when confronted by Sora shortly after the first clash of their final duel in the World That Never Was, Sora earnestly declares that a heart is more than suffering and rage and asks if Xemnas does not remember that he responds honestly, and quite wistfully, that he does not. He was very intelligent, overall, and knew how to manipulate others, particularly Sora and his friends for his own needs. While ridiculous in nature, his exaggerations were representations of his lack of emotion. He had a tendency to be overly melodramatic, making long-winded speeches, exaggerating his false rage and sorrow with wide sweeping arm movements and hand gestures, like many villains. In other matters Xemnas spoke with calmness and deep authority, strangely similar to Master Eraqus. This goal stemmed from that of one of his two original personas, Master Xehanort, whom also desired to unlock Kingdom Hearts for the same purpose in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. This concept was furthered as Xemnas thought that nothingness was the source of much power, and does not seem to despise it in the slightest. Rather, much like his Heartless counterpart, he wanted it to use it to obtain power and remake the universe in his image. Unlike the other members of the Organization, Xemnas did not seem to want Kingdom Hearts for a true existence. However, on some occasions, he had appeared to value friendship, as he was shown to converse with the armor of Aqua in the Chamber of Repose, although, this is likely due to the influence of Terra, as he is, in a sense, Terra's Nobody. The only thing he truly cared about was Kingdom Hearts and his desire for power, and even lamented it when it was damaged. His lack of emotion deprives him of remorse for his actions, as well as the loss of the other members of the Organization. He claimed that this allowed him to have a clear understanding of the heart, but, in reality, this had warped his mind into believing that only anger, hatred, and other negative emotions were what make up most of a heart.
