BEFORE you send any hate mail/your not the real kairi, let me get this
straight, you lazy bum. (: I am not the kairi that has been on here
for a long time, i am "kid_kairi" okay? okay :D on with my
information. :3 

Within theese walls.. 
within these barriers.. 
Within these feelings..
Within this smiling face..
within..
within myself....
I know...

 there is a heart. 

There is also a door.
As i try to open it,
it just gets smaller.
And by the time i find the true key..
There will be nothing left but a heart.
And that heart..
Is mine.
Now..
and forever.

Hi, my names Kairi. i am fourteen years old and I am living on the
Destiny Islands with Sora, Riku, Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka. I actually
appeared on the islands several years ago but i dont really remember
where i came frome. But, I have no real interest in returning to
wherever it is I came from, and I love my life on the Islands. When i
came, Riku thought about other worlds beyond the island and gave him
the idea to build a raft and explore the world(s).

Soon afterwards, a storm caused by darkness sweeps away everyone from
the islands and I was separated from Sora and Riku. By the time Sora
found me, I was in a comatose state. It turns out that I was a
Princess of Heart originally from the Radiant Garden sent to the
Destiny Islands by Xehanort to confirm his theory that a Princess of
Heart and the Keyblade are connected. My heart ended up inside Sora
before their island was destroyed. Because of this, Maleficent is
unable to unlock the Keyhole inside Hollow Bastion until my heart is
recovered.

I was saved by Sora, who gave up his heart in order to restore mine,
transforming him into a Heartless. I took it upon myself to protect
that Heartless, showing Sora the way to the light which restored him. 
I remained in the safety of Traverse Town, and in the temporary care
of Leon, Aerith and Yuffie. I gave Sora My lucky charm, which I made
from seashells back on Destiny Island the day before the storm
occurred, with the condition that he gives it back to me. After
Ansem's defeat, I was left behind on the reforming Destiny Islands and
separated from Sora at the end of Kingdom Hearts. Sora promises to
return to her with Riku, and I waited on the island for their return.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Kairi does not appear directly in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories,
but still plays an important role.

Because Kairi is the most important person to Sora, Marluxia and
Larxene of the mysterious Organization take advantage of the fact they
can rearrange Sora's memories of Kairi so that they can manipulate
him. By forcing a young girl named Naminé to alter Sora's memories so
she replaces Kairi, they hope to make Sora their puppet. The plan
fails when their "ally", Axel, betrays them and convinces Naminé to
do what she believes is right. She promises to restore Sora's past
memories by placing him in a cocoon-like chamber, despite that fact he
would forget the events of Castle Oblivion and Naminé as a result.

Naminé employs her ability to be Kairi also in "Reverse/Rebirth"
(Riku's story in Chain of Memories) in order to save him from Zexion's
attempt to destroy him. Riku, however, was able to differentiate her
from his friend because Kairi and Naminé do not share the same scent,
though he does mention they are somewhat similar.

Naminé mentions that she is Kairi's shadow, making it impossible for
her to completely erase the memory of Kairi from Sora's heart. It
hints that there is a deeper connection between the two girls.


 Kingdom Hearts II
One year has passed and 15-year-old Kairi attends school with Selphie
and converses with her about their missing friends. Kairi's memories
of Sora have faded as she recalls the days when she, Riku and Sora
played together, but she does not identify Sora by name and mentions
that she can no longer recall Sora's voice. She refused to return to
the island where they played until she could remember. However, no one
else on the islands has any recollection of Sora at all. In addition,
everyone Sora seems to have befriended have forgotten him until the
beginning of Kingdom Hearts II. This is due to Sora's memories being
taken apart in Chain of Memories, although Naminé later corrected
this. Kairi can still remember Sora, albeit barely.

She first appears in a parochial school-style prep school uniform,
complete with plaid skirt, tie, long socks and boots, though her
official game attire is a pink dress and a pair of sneakers. In
addition, her hair has grown longer and darker, and her features and
figure are more mature to show the passage of time. Eventually, she
does remember Sora due to the restoration of his memories, writing a
letter. After finally remembering Sora entirely, Kairi sends the
letter drifting to the sea in hopes of that it will find its way to
him.

She is later confronted by Axel, who hopes to use Kairi to lure Sora
to him. Kairi evades him thanks to Pluto and heads to Twilight Town,
but is captured by Axel soon after. However, Saïx takes Kairi from
Axel and imprisons her and Pluto in a jail cell in The World That
Never Was. She escapes her cell with the help of Naminé and they are
saved from Saïx by Riku (in the guise of Xehanort's Heartless). Riku
gives her a keyblade in which she uses to fight off the Heartless that
Saïx summons.

The connection between Naminé and Kairi is resolved when she
understands that Naminé is her Nobody, created when her heart was
transferred from Sora's body back into her own. With that, Naminé
gives up her existence as an independent entity to complete Kairi.
Kairi returns to Destiny Islands to welcome Sora and Riku back after
they find Kairi's letter, the poem which she cast off in a bottle
earlier in the game. Additionally, Sora returns to Kairi her lucky
charm, as he had finally fulfilled his promise to return it.
