Vanitas is not Ventus’ Nobody, as he is the dark half of Ventus’ heart, created when Xehanort split Ventus’ heart in two, extracting the darkness from within. This process resulted in Ventus retaining the light and his form, while Vanitas took on the form of a humanoid creature with red eyes similar to a Heartless.
