So tell me a little bit about yourself.

Physical Aspects: At sixteen, Kairi is beginning to develop the subtle curves of a woman. Her 5'4” frame is athletically thin with a complexion leaning toward the pale side. Her hair is a reddish-brown that falls in straight layers to her shoulders, and long, choppy bangs sweep across the right side of her forehead. Her eyes are a gentle blue.

She typically wears a pink strapless dress that falls somewhere between her knees and mid-thigh (a little longer than her official art; trying to avoid Fetish Fuel here). The dress is made up of three zippers, two of which appear to be just decorative. There is a white halter top underneath with a black hood attached. She also sports three bracelets on her left wrist, a black belt reminiscent of suspenders with a notebook-shaped bag attachment, and large lilac shoes with black laces that also encircle her ankles. A single silver bead hangs on a black chord around her neck.

Go here for a picture.



Persona:

• Façade: Kairi is caring, kindhearted and not afraid to speak her mind. She's usually always very cheerful and upbeat, though not annoyingly so. When the mood strikes her, she can become very quiet and distant, her mind often wandering to Sora and Riku. This quiet side of her personality contains wisdom usually beyond someone of her age. Her status as a Princess of Heart could very well be responsible for that.
  
  There is a total absence of darkness in her heart, which contributes to her positive and altruistic nature. Her strength of heart is evident in her steadfast faith in everything that she perceives as good and right. Because of her closeness to Sora, her definitions of good and right most often coincide with his. But that does not mean she is incapable of forming her own opinions on things.
  
  Kairi can make friends very easily, but she is wise enough not to naively trust everyone she meets. She is courageous in the face of danger, even if she may not always be able to defend herself. In many situations, she relies on Sora, Riku, and others to protect her. Though the bond of friendship between Sora, Riku, and Kairi is very strong, the bond Kairi shares with Sora is particularly strong.
  
  
• Inner Mind: While Kairi enjoys the protective natures of Sora and Riku, she often is frustrated by her own lack of ability. Because of her slightly tomboyish quality, she longs to be someone who does not always have to be the damsel-in-distress. But circumstances in her life so far have not allowed her to develop her own prowess and instead have forced her to rely upon others.
  
  Even if there is no darkness in her heart, that does not mean Kairi is immune to fear. She fears especially for the safety of her friends and will do everything she possibly can to make sure they are all right. And because she has such close ties with her friends, if she is left alone, she has a tendency to feel mild loneliness.

Stand up and fight.

Weapon(s): Destiny's Embrace – A Keyblade given to Kairi by Riku when they were in The World That Never Was. The hilt is not mirrored, one side a breaking ocean wave, while the other is a sandy vine that wraps around the shaft. The shaft itself is colored to resemble a sunset. The vine of sand connects to a bouquet of colorful flowers, which form the teeth of the Keyblade. A red silken Keychain connects the hilt to a paopu fruit token.

ABILITIES SECTION:
Kairi is not a physically strong fighter, though she is competent enough with her Keyblade. Instead, she relies on her inherent magical affinity that comes with being a Princess of Heart.

Royal Ward
Kairi can shield herself or an ally with a spherical barrier made of blue light. Anyone within this barrier will feel their fatigue slip away as a renewed sense of freshness enters the body. The shield's restorative abilities do not extend beyond banishing fatigue. It is incapable of sealing wounds and such. The shield neutralizes all abilities used against the protected person up to the current strength of this ability, and it stays in effect for only one post.

Range: An ally must be within 20 feet of Kairi for this ability to take effect; the shield itself extends roughly three feet out from the person being shielded.
Speed: It takes Kairi about two seconds to form the shield.
Cooldown: 3 posts
Uses: 3 uses per thread
Strength: Weak

Prismatic Blitz
Kairi's version of Holy appears as a double-spiral of bright white light that begins at her feet and shoots skyward, reaching a height of approximately fifteen feet. The light gathers into a large orb that shifts into prismatic colors above her and subsequently explodes into three beams of rainbow-colored light that rotate around her for about five seconds, damaging anything in their path. Anything caught close to her when she firsts begins this ability is pushed away from her by the force of the light spiraling around her.

Range: The initial spirals of light extend about two feet from her body and reach a height of fifteen feet where the orb is formed; the beams of light produced by the orb rake the ground in a perfect circle about 20 feet away from her.
Speed: The light can be summoned instantaneously, and the rotating beams last for five seconds before the entire attack dissipates.
Cooldown: 5 posts
Uses: 2 uses per thread
Strength: Moderate

Everybody’s got a weakness or two; what are yours?

Elemental Weakness: Physical attacks
Other Weaknesses: Her concern for both Sora and Riku can be seen as both a strength and also a weakness in certain circumstances.

What’s your story?

Kairi was born in Radiant Garden and lived with her grandmother during her early life. One day, she encountered a Keyblade master named Aqua, who placed a protective charm on Kairi's necklace. This charm, Aqua told her, would bring her to someone who would protect her if she was ever in danger. A year later, when Radiant Garden was overrun by darkness, Kairi was brought to Destiny Islands where she became the adopted daughter of the mayor. She soon befriended Sora and Riku.

When she reached the age of 14, her new home was also attacked by darkness, and she was whisked away to an unknown distant world. But her heart chose Sora's as a vessel, and in that way, she traveled with him on his journey to find her. When she was finally revived in Hollow Bastion, she found that Sora had sacrificed himself in order to return her heart to her, but she was able to recognize him even as a Shadow Heartless and restored him to his human form. Once she escaped Hollow Bastion with Sora, Donald, and Goofy, she went with them to Traverse Town and ended up staying there with Leon and the others while Sora left to find Riku and stop the darkness from growing. After Sora restored the worlds, she was sent back to Destiny Islands but without Sora or Riku.

A year later, she had gone back to living a normal life, attending school with Selphie and thinking about the boy she had forgotten about. A strange mental conversation with first Roxas and then Sora helped her recover her lost memories. She then wrote a letter, put it in a bottle, and sent it into the ocean, hoping it would find the boy she now remembered was Sora.

Some time later, she was visited by Axel, who tried to convince her to come with him to see Sora. When several Nobodies surrounded her, she found an alternate option provided to her—a Corridor opened by Riku, she would later discover. This led her to Twilight Town, where she met and befriended Hayner, Pence, and Olette. However, it wasn't long before Axel found her again and forcibly took her away with him. But then Axel lost her to Saïx, who took her to The World That Never Was. As he told her, he planned to use her as bait to lure Sora.

When she thought that all was lost, Kairi was freed from her prison by her Nobody, Naminé. Eventually, she was reunited with both Sora and Riku, and it was Riku who gave her the Destiny's Embrace Keyblade, crafted from his memories. After Xemnas was defeated, she left The World That Never Was through another Corridor provided by Naminé and returned to Destiny Islands, not knowing that Sora and Riku were left behind to finish Xemnas off for good. After Sora and Riku found Kairi's bottled letter, they were able to return to Destiny Islands, where Kairi and the others greeted them.

However, both Sora and Riku have left Destiny Islands once again, leaving Kairi behind. A strange and painful vision of Sora has prompted her to seek a way off the islands.

It all comes down to this: make your choice.

You are presented with three weapons: a sword, a staff, and a shield. The sword represents the power of the warrior; invincible courage comes with this weapon as well as horrible destruction. The staff represents the power of the mystic; inner strength comes with this weapon as well as wonder and ruin. The shield represents the power of the guardian; kindness to aid friends comes with this weapon as well as a shield that will repel all.

Which one will you choose?

Chosen Weapon: Kairi considers before reaching for the Staff.

Magic Bracer
Symbolizing the determination of the Staff, this ability enables the mage using it to ignore up to Weak ability damage in order to continue the use of any of their abilities without hampered aim.
