Story

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-

When Aqua reaches the remnants of Dwarf Woodlands, she finds a mysterious mirror. Her reflection comes to life and pulls her inside the World Within, where her true reflection is stolen by three identical magic mirrors. As Aqua explores the World Within in order to escape, the phantom Aqua taunts her by claiming that her actions are futile and that nobody cares about her. Each time Aqua locates one of the three mirrors, a phantom Aqua attacks her but is defeated. Once the third phantom Aqua is destroyed, Aqua is able to escape the World Within and continue her journey, but its taunts continue to torment her.

Design

The phantom Aqua is physically identical to Aqua. However, unlike Aqua, the phantom Aqua has lighter blue eyes.
