Dreams of Destiny is the first title of the Kingdom Hearts: Tadhana's Journey trilogy. It is properly stylized as KINGDOM HEARTS: Tadhana's Journey - Volume 1: Dreams of Destiny, following the abbreviation of KH:DoD on social media. It is a fanfiction anthology series based on the role-playing video game series Kingdom Hearts, with the title developed by Square Enix, following the collaboration between Square Enix and Disney Interactive Studios under the direction of Tetsuya Nomura. The trilogy is created by Issie M. Hansen, listed under the username aliases Cecilisabeth16 on Booksie and GuardianTadhana on her socials. Kingdom Hearts is a crossover of various Disney settings based in a universe made specifically for the series, where Disney characters from their notable films interact with the main character. This also includes some character appearances from a variety of Square Enix's Final Fantasy series, typically from titles that Nomura previously worked on, including another Square Enix video game title, The World Ends With You. In the Tadhana's Journey trilogy, the main character, Tadhana, will be traveling to worlds and interacting with every main cast of every Disney and Pixar film and Final Fantasy title up-to-date, along with The World Ends With You titles. The series of Drakengard and NieR, and the films from Studio Ghibli, will also be mentioned in her story. Specifically in Volume 1: Dreams of Destiny, it will mainly focus on the films of Disney/Pixar and Studio Ghibli, along with the original worldscape created in aspiration to the Kingdom Hearts universe. It is noted by the author that even though that this fanfiction anthology is heavily inspired by the universe and the concept of Kingdom Hearts, the main character and the main story does not overlay with the original characters and timeline of the series.
Overview
Like the Kingdom Hearts series, Dreams of Destiny features a mixture of familiar Disney and Square Enix characters, in addition to the inclusion of Disney/Pixar and Studio Ghibli characters within their respective worlds based around their films. Some new locations and characters mentioned throughout the first volume will be created and written by Issie. Though the trilogy features locations unique to their respective films, the worlds are heavily explored and are seen through Tadhana's experiences as she visits these worlds and interact with the main cast to protect them from enemies. Often, Tadhana's actions in these worlds follow closely to the storylines featured in their respective films. It is mentioned by Master Kaluluwa, Tadhana's master and guardian, that their main duty as a Lost Star is to "restore the World Order", as the enemies known as the Blights are seen as "servants of Chaos" whose only goal is "to disrupt the Balance of Fate." As such, it is noted that Tadhana and Kaluluwa often have their forms changed to conform easily in each new world they travel to, just as the Blights do, for them to camouflage as deformed creatures of whatever world they infiltrate. Concepts such as magic and synthesis are followed as described in the universe of Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. The combat, weaponry, and outfit formchanges are also as followed in terms of the Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasty universes, such as Drive Forms and Materia, respectively. Creatures such as Moogles and Chocobos that are common in the Final Fantasy universe are seen to be familiar in Dreams of Destiny.
✧ Creation and Influence
The Tadhana's Journey series is written by Issie M. Hansen, who also created the main cast and other original characters of the trilogy. Issie has stated that Tadhana went through various changes in the span of fourteen years upon the idea of her being conceived, to which Tadhana had four other identities before she was finalized in 2020. She said that while character designs are one of her favorite things to do, it is also one of the most difficult things for her to make it concrete as a writer. Issie would mention how Tadhana's design started off by the mysterious girl shown on the Secret Ending, Another side, Another story... along with her own self at the time, around the summer of 2008. The character concept is conceived through her lucid dreams after Issie played Kingdom Hearts II, introducing her to the Kingdom Hearts series for the first time. The character was named Mai, after her middle name, but she would be unnamed later on after Issie distanced herself from the character and forced herself to dream the character separately in various Kingdom Hearts-inspired situations, as she got terrified of dreaming herself in a different body and being placed in "dangerous, life-threatening" circumstances. Issie would then base the character design off a dream version of Tadhana, with her origins taken place in the events of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, a few months after the game's release of the Re:Chain of Memories, the remake of the first mentioned game title of a similar name. The character is under the name Aquasia, or Aqua, for short. The concepts of Aqua being connected to Castle Oblivion and Organization XIII came up in her series of dreams with the new character, and Issie enjoyed it a lot with a great desire to expand it. However, due to complications of close comparisons to other canon Kingdom Hearts characters being released in future titles, Issie dropped the concepts and the character. The design would then change in 2016 following the release of the mobile game title Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X, under the name Kaluluwa. After losing her gaming process a year later, Issie changes the character again after finding it too similar to another canon character in the mobile series. The final changes happened in 2018, where the name now changed to Malaya. Issie has stated to feel great frustration that her character can never seem "original" enough to her liking, but she still remains dedicated to the Kingdom Hearts series while working on other projects, such as more original stories. Around October 2020, Issie revisted the app after putting it on hiatus for four years while playing the mobile app game, Twisted Wonderland, where she redesigned the character one final time and have her named as Tadhana in both games. Issie also made the character public on socials before the end of 2020 through the beginning of 2021, finally feeling satisfied and confident to find others who enjoy the games like she does. Main themes Issie stated to enjoy having for her characters are for them to be a young child lead of Asian descent with amnesia and/or have some type of disability for them to overcome later on in their journey, as she is able to personally relate to them more when writing their stories. This continues with Tadhana, as her journey starts when she is found washed ashore with no memory of herself or her past and happens to be left-handed, which is considered a rarity during her time. The concept of a young child lead originated to Issie's admiration to Hayao Miyazaki and the work of films in Studio Ghibli portraying the theme. Issie also stated that she knew she was being ambitious on trying to include a majority of Disney films and Final Fantasy titles up-to-date, but the idea of having to choose specific ones to leave out was even more difficult than to just write an idea for each one. She kept finding new ways to make each world memorable and to have some type of lesson or development for Tadhana. This spurred the idea for Issie to write a concept chapter for at least each of her favorite Disney, Pixar, and Studio Ghibli films, so she conjured up 85 chapters, which then helped her write out the majority of Volume 1 and how the flow of the first book is supposed to be planned out for her and the readers. The inclusion of specific Final Fantasy characters in Volume 1 was based after plotting the chapter for Volumes 2 and 3, to which Issie decided to split the Final Fantasy titles into three main groups, with Volume 1 consisting of the first six titles. She believed that revisiting characters and their stories of the first six anthologies fit a better setting for Tadhana to transition from a medieval fantasy setting to a world with prominent steampunk influences, which would help her better adapt to the various Disney, Pixar, and Studio Ghibli films she travels through. Seeing how much depth goes into the chapters, Issie created sections dividing up certain events per chapter. This is due to Booksie having a 100-chapter limit on books, and it makes it easier for her to go back and reread previous events within the same chapter whilst editing and writing. The section dividing titles were inspired by the Kingdom Hearts journal chapter titles seen in the menu, specifically the cutscene movie chapter titles from Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days that illustrate the entries in Roxas's Diary. She stated that if the sections make it easier for her to disgest elongated chapters and for her to go back to reread certain moments in a chapter, she hoped the same goes for the readers for the trilogy.
