Kairi: Difference between revisions

Kairi is able to wield a Keyblade due to her having touched [[Rainfell|Aqua's Keyblade]] many years prior to the events of ''Kingdom Hearts''.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania''''' "The Keyblade inheritance ceremony is performed with a Keyblade master touches someone using a Keyblade. When Kairi was running away from the Unversed in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' she grabbed Aqua's Keyblade, which performed the ceremony. That is why she is able to use a Keyblade in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' to help Sora."</ref> Kairi's abilities in combat are limited. Kairi cannot do much when she is in danger—she has to depend on Sora or Riku to come to her aid; this is why she is sometimes captured, which is seen when Axel merely grabbed Kairi by the wrist and effortlessly dragged her along with him (though in the manga she's shown to be more aggressive and tries to put up a fight, throwing punches at Nobodies and biting Axel's hand). During the events that take place in The World That Never Was, Riku hands her Destiny's Embrace, allowing Kairi to protect herself without any help. She is shown to be fairly competent with it, and was shown to take out two Heartless on her own in one cutscene. Her potential is recognized by Yen Sid, who has Riku bring her to him to begin training with the Keyblade to become stronger.
