Destiny's Embrace

Destiny's Embrace (デスティニープレイス) is the default form of Kairi's Keyblade and appears in Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.

When Kairi is still a child leaving in the Radiant Garden, she is saved from a swarm of Unversed by Aqua. Kairi gives the Keyblade Master some flowers as thanks, rewarding her with the Keychain for the Destiny's Embrace.

A separate instance of the Keychain is later given to Kairi by Riku in The World That Never Was, in order to help fend off a swarm of Heartless attacking Sora. Like Sora's Keyblade, this Keyblade is from the Realm of Light. Later, when Sora is about to face Xemnas within the Dreaming Realm of The World That Never Was, he explains that the connected hearts of his friends are his power, and an image of Kairi wielding the Destiny's Embrace appears alongside all of his other friends.

Design
The Keyblade is round and curvaceous to the point of appearing harmless. One side of the hilt is formed in the shape of a breaking ocean wave, while the other is formed into a beige vine of sand that wraps around the shaft, which is colored to resemble a sunset. The vine connects to a bouquet of colorful flowers, which form the teeth of the Keyblade. A red silken Keychain connects the hilt to the Paopu Fruit token, a recurring symbol of the bond between Sora and Kairi.
