Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any related characters. This was written out of enjoyment of the series, and no profit is being made.
Notes: Ughhh, this is so old, but I still really like it actually. I think it came about because I thought that instead of having her own type of Lesser Nobodies, Naminé would have the Creepers, seeing as they're both probably 'outcasts' from the Organization. And then it evolved into... what each species eats.
I don't know, okay?

They come to her, like moths to a flame.
Lady of the Less-Than-Nothings
15) Dusks never visit her because they eat everything.
14) Creepers are the shyest. The literally creep in through the cracks in her windows, underneath her table and try to steal sheets of paper right in front of her.
13) The Samurai never ask for anything, always come into her room with some thinly veiled excuse (“Any messages to deliver to Master Roxas?”). She gives each one of them a bag of tea leaves and they leave on their way.
12) The Ninja are more stubborn than the Samurai. She hands over old computer chips the scientists throw out and they back flip out of her window.
11) The Paladins are one of the more difficult species to provide the occasional meal to. It takes a couple of their visits for her to figure out they eat rocks. Perhaps the soil is too soft for them.
10) She’s not sure if the Gamblers actually eat the coins that she slips up their bell shaped sleeves. Maybe they just use them to bet against their master.
9) The Dancers make sure to waltz around the room with her before she hands over the plastic flowers from the leis Axel brought back once.
8) The Assassins keep to themselves, but occasionally come in for pieces of metal. Vexen doesn’t understand why she insists on taking apart all his good pens and keeping the little springs.
7) The Berserkers eat glass. She’s always sure to change her own light bulbs and keep the old ones. They seem to enjoy eating the little pieces of metal in their meals too (her stomach twists when she thinks of the Assassins).
6) The Illusionists is where it starts to get tricky. Usually they just eat her number two pencils, but sometimes they ask if she could kindly put her lead-stained fingers into their top hats. When she pulls them back out, her hands are clean. Creative energy, she figures.
5) The Geomancers (towering over their master) are far too humble to visit very often. They are so embarrassed that it takes her a while to understand that they are glancing hungrily at her pillow. Who would’ve thought the creatures that scrape her ceiling subsist on a diet of feathers?
4) She has to contain her excitement when the Scholars sneak into her room. They eat ribbon like spaghetti, (it must be something about that DNA model one of them showed her once) and she can’t help but giggle as she watches. Her laughter seems to sate them, too.
3) She’s not nearly as enthusiastic when the Dragoons visit. They eat paper too, but they have a more delicate palate than the Creepers. They like origami, and tissue, and their favourite were the remains of an old paper fan Xaldin once brought back. Mostly though, they like to take in the breath she exhales when she sings. It’s rather nerve-racking.
2) The Snipers eat the giant plastic milk jugs that get thrown out. But she’s almost certain that they mostly feed off the sound of her heartless circulatory system kicking into gear as she sneaks through the empty halls late at night to get to the garbage room in the basement, their forms trailing behind her.
1) The Sorcerers don’t need to eat, she’s pretty sure. All the same, one floated into her room one night, very oddly not-pulsating. She should’ve been in bed, and thinks about climbing under her sheets, but gestures to an empty spot on her window seat instead. Together, they sat, and watched the world pass by.
