She also features a black choker, a yellow wristband as well as a purple armband on her left arm and a pair of bracelets on her right arm. Kairi has auburn hair, blue eyes, a pale complexion, and a necklace with a silver bead that is only absent when she wears her school uniform.Īt age 14, during the events of Kingdom Hearts, she wears a white top with a black one underneath (the black one shows at her collarbone and at the hem) which slightly exposes her navel, purple biker shorts underneath a purple skirt with a blue belt, and white slip-on shoes with purple caps. Kairi's appearance shows the most growth with aging of the trio of main characters. It was loving that Pluto went to comfort her at the Organization's dungeon with her responding nicely by petting him. They met on Destiny Islands, and the she followed him through the dark corridors.
Kairi also has a strong connection with King Mickey's dog, Pluto. This is evidenced by the fact that Kairi was proven to be the most special person in Sora's heart in Chain of Memories, and that their bond was strong enough for Kairi to recognize Sora in heartless form in Kingdom Hearts. While the bond of friendship between Sora, Riku, and Kairi is very strong, Sora and Kairi seem to be particularly close to one another. She is loyal, and she can be rather stubborn sometimes. In contrast to Sora and Riku, who were both bothered by not knowing about Kairi's hometown, she took it in stride and was able to look at the positives about living in the Destiny Islands. She is currently assigned under Master Yen Sid to begin training with her Keyblade. Near the end of Kingdom Hearts II, she finally obtains a Keyblade of her own given to her by Riku and helps Sora and Riku fight against the Organization. Unfortunately, this sometimes results in her needing rescuing by Sora. Although she has no ability to defend herself in combat like Sora and Riku, she is very brave and strong willed and will put herself in danger anyway to help her friends. She's usually always very cheerful and upbeat. Kairi is also very charismatic, quickly befriending Hayner, Pence, and Olette in Twilight Town before being kidnapped by Axel. Kairi's good heart filled with pure light helped lead Sora back to his true form when he was consumed by the Heartless, and led Sora and Riku back to Destiny Islands when they were trapped in the Realm of Darkness after their battle with Xemnas.
She is determined and courageous when someone she cares about is in danger, as she always puts herself in harm's way to help Sora when he's in trouble despite the dangers. Kairi's heart is said to be filled only with pure light and goodness, despite darkness and evil residing in almost every heart.
