    As a small note I should mention the group canon works a bit differently than the game canon as some of it was established prior to knowing some of the information that is in the game series itself. For this purpose, a nobody is considered to be the body and soul of the formerly existing somebody who has lost their heart by a heartless or corruption caused by darkness. They, like any other human feel the five senses as well as things like pain.

    When it comes to emotions, the canon is that the longer someone has gone with being a nobody the more capable they are of expressing and feeling emotions. Consider the loss of the heart a sort of traumatic incident and it disables their ability, for quite some time, to be able to feel. With time and the creation of new experiences they are able to regain what was lost. In this case it means the newer a nobody is, the more of a blank slate they'll be and for them it will be tougher to express and feel emotions. However an older nobody, for example one like Nexias will be much more fluid and have an easier time - though she still will have some complications - expressing the emotions.

    Certain emotions, depending on the past of a nobody are stronger immediately more than others. Meaning they can "feel" it differently than as if they were just discovering it for the first time, which for a while would be the case. So for canon's sake, if your character has just lost their heart keep in mind it's like they're learning and experiencing everything all over again! So it will be a bit baffling to them, if your character on the other hand is an older nobody or has been around for a few years it's totally fine to have them "express" emotions!

A side bar is also that your nobody shouldn't be acting like a child or needing to "cool-off" or continuously having mood swings for no reason what so ever. As long as there are memories to substantiate the feeling it's fine to express!

;w; It's a good thing Nanashi's whole freaking world revolved around Nero otherwise it'd be like
"Hi Roexn...Nanashi didn't love Nero enough to leave a lasting impression on me, Have fun living with the fact you're wife never loved you strong enough for me to remember that stuff like love to a point I Feel as if it's real  love. BUH BYE~" *kisses Roexn before walking away like it never happend*
WHICH WOULD SUCK. But in my head this was comical...
