Thoughts on Strelitzia. (Theory)

Spoiler Show

Contrary to many opinions, I think Strelitzia is still dead. She couldn’t become nobody , since nobody becomes the people who gave their heart to darkness. And Lauriam’s sister was exactly what they killed. Her heart flew into the sky. I have a theory that the white robe that we saw on Strelitzia is uniform worn by the souls of deceased people who fell into Kingdom hearts. It is known that white is a symbol of death. Hearts painted white from the fallen owners of the key flew into the sky after the end of the keyblade war.
We are getting closer and closer to the topic of what Kingdom hearts are. And I think that Strelitzia will become a kind of "Spirit guide" for the main characters.

Hmmmmmmm... this is a very interesting take on the situation. I had proposed in another thread that a white robe could signify that a person can easily traverse from the Final World to the world of the living. Like an angel.

In KH3, the concept of "souls" was briefly touched on during Roxas and Xion's Keyblade Graveyard scenes. When Xemnas is about to finish off Axel, Xion stops him and says "We need him alive, you know that." to which Xemnas replies "We need only his heart to forge the key. We do not need his soul."

This indicates that hearts and souls are separate things in KH lore, and that when a person dies, their soul is lost, but their heart is not.

I think the white robe Strelitzia is our first look at what happens to a person whose soul has been lost. So far in KH we've only seen what happens when a person becomes a heartless or nobody, but we've never actually seen what happens when someone is truly dead.

Nomura seems to have chosen Strelitzia to be the one to show us how souls function in KH.

The Soul in KH is pretty much the body's battery, what keeps it going and an element needed in order to create a Nobody besides a strong sense of self. We know what happens when you separate a heart form its body and soul, but what happens when you separate a soul from its body and heart? That would be interesting to explore.
