OK.So I LOVE the Kingdom Hearts series,some of the best games ever.But there are many things I don't understand about the mythology of the games.

-How is Naminé a "special" nobody?Is it because Kairi is a Princess of Heart?Is that why she has those odd powers?

-The difference between Nobodies and Heartless.Heartless are the bodies of people overtaken by darkness and Nobodies are the mind and soul.Right?

-Xemnas wanted Sora to go kill Heartless so that their hearts(?) are sent to strengthen Kingdom Hearts?

-The final boss of KH1 was the Xehanort Heartless.Xemnas is Xehanort's Nobody,right?

-DiZ is really Ansem the Wise,former ruler of Radiant Garden/Hollow Bastion.Why did he pick up the alias of DiZ?

-Why are there two Twilight Towns?

-Why was Kairi taken to the Organization's HQ?

I have more questions but I can't remember them right now.Please,someone intelligent in the topic,tell me!

-How is Naminé a "special" nobody?Is it because Kairi is a Princess of Heart?Is that why she has those odd powers

Naminé is special because of the source and circumstances in which she was created. When Kairi lost her Heart, she became a Heartless, and in turn, that creates a Nobody. However, since a Heartless' power is created based on the amount of Darkness in ones Heart, no Heartless was created, for Kairi had no Darkness.

Naminé has these powers to manipulate Sora and anyone connected to him, because she is Kairi's Nobody. As such, Nobodies represent their Human counterparts very closely, and as such, she would likely be able to exert influence over Sora, and she does.

-The difference between Nobodies and Heartless.Heartless are the bodies of people overtaken by darkness and Nobodies are the mind and soul.Right?

When one's Heart is taken away from him, the Darkness in his Heart turns into a physical manifestation of that power. The Heart is completely taken away. However, when a Heartless is made, the Body and Soul that were left behind at that person's conversion remain, and as such, a Nobody is born. However, the strength of a Nobody comes from the overall strength of that person's Heart, not the influence of Darkness, as a Heartless has.

-Xemnas wanted Sora to go kill Heartless so that their hearts(?) are sent to strengthen Kingdom Hearts?

He wanted Sora to kill Heartless, so that the Hearts would return from the Heartless to Kingdom Hearts. When the time came, he would go to Kingdom Hearts, and return everyone's Hearts to all the Nobodies, while immersing himself in Kingdom Heart's eternal power.

-The final boss of KH1 was the Xehanort Heartless.Xemnas is Xehanort's Nobody,right?

Yes.

-DiZ is really Ansem the Wise,former ruler of Radiant Garden/Hollow Bastion.Why did he pick up the alias of DiZ?

This occured after his identity was stolen from him by his apprentice. As such, having his name, dignity, research, stolen from him, he exiled himself to the endless abyss of the Darkness. He wandered it, and he felt himself being ripped apart by the Darkness. Over time, he grew not to fear the Darkness, but he yearned not to have it conquer him as it did to the apprentices. He realized that the world of Darkness was a great nothing, and since he had nothing of his identity left (after it being stolen by Xehanort's Heartless), he called himself an ally of Darkness amongst a sea of nothing. Darkness in Zero. DiZ.

-Why are there two Twilight Towns?

After capturing Roxas, he created the second Twilight Town based on the original, real one. He used it as a haven to protect Roxas from his former OXIII allies, until Sora was able to be revived from his slumber. After Riku defeated Roxas, Roxas was converted into pure data, and installed in a fake Twilight Town. DiZ then had Naminé restore the chains of Sora's memories that had been broken in both Roxas AND Sora. For some reason, due to the circumstances of Sora's Heartlessness, Roxas had none of the memories of him being Sora (despite that Nobodies usually retain their memories). At the end of the Twilight Town segment with Roxas, he was finally returned to Sora, and his memories restored until Castle Oblivion.

-Why was Kairi taken to the Organization's HQ?

They captured her, because they wanted Sora to get as pissed off as he could. In his anger, he would slaughter the Heartless, accomplishing the goals of the Organization.
