Kairi in Kingdom Hearts

Kairi is a 14-year-old girl in Kingdom Hearts and reaches 15 by Kingdom Hearts II. She liked to run around Destiny Islands with her friends Sora and Riku, until the events in Kingdom Hearts where they became seperated. It is discovered that Kairi is one of the Princesses of Heart, seven maidens including Snow White, Bell, and Sleeping Beauty/Aurora. Because of her pure heart she can weild a Keyblade.

In Kingdom Hearts II, Kairi waits for her friends to return at the Destiny Islands. Eventually she is kidnapped by Axel, because Axel wants to lure Sora to find him- he wants Sora to be turned into a Heartless because he hopes that his friend Roxas, Sora's Nobody, would return into existence if this happens. When freed, Kairi is able to use her own Keyblade, given to her by Riku. According to Donald, she did quite well in battle. In this game it is shown that Namine is actually Kairi's Nobody, through Sora, as when Sora became a Heartless Kairi's heart had been inside of him, creating both Roxas and Namine.

In Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep it is revealed that Aqua met both Kairi and Sora and accidently bestowed the power to be a Keyblade weilder on both of them. It is unknown if Kairi will soon discover that she can summon a Keyblade.

It is also quite obvious that Kairi and Sora have romantic feelings for each other.
