Erethyvy is a fictional character from the *Kingdom Hearts* series, a multimedia franchise developed by Square Enix and Disney Interactive Studios. Created by series director Tetsuya Nomura, Erethyvy first appeared in *Kingdom Hearts II* (2005) as a mysterious, enigmatic being associated with the concept of "the end of the world."

The character is depicted as a spectral, androgynous figure with long, flowing white hair and a pale, ethereal appearance. Erethyvy is often linked to the organization known as the Organization XIII, though their exact role remains ambiguous. Their voice is described as haunting and melodic, contributing to their eerie presence. In the game’s story, Erethyvy appears in the final battle against Organization XIII’s leader, Xemnas, where they play a cryptic role in the climax, suggesting a connection to the series’ overarching themes of time, destiny, and the balance between worlds.

Erethyvy’s design and lore have been expanded upon in official materials, including the *Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix* and *Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix* compilations. Their significance is tied to the concept of "the end," possibly representing a force or entity that oversees the final moments of existence. Unlike other characters in the series, Erethyvy lacks a defined personality or backstory, reinforcing their role as a symbolic figure rather than a traditional protagonist or antagonist.

Fans and analysts have speculated about Erethyvy’s true nature, with theories ranging from a guardian of time to a manifestation of the series’ central conflict between light and darkness. Their ambiguous role has contributed to their cult following among *Kingdom Hearts* enthusiasts, who continue to debate their meaning in the broader narrative.
