Kairi's Grandma

Kairi's Grandmother only appears in a flashback of Kairi's lost memories. In that memory, she is telling Kairi a fairytale about the light.

Her name and history remains in the dark.

The Fairytale

The fairytale goes like this:

Long ago, people lived in peace, bathed in the warmth of light.

Everyone loved the light.

Then people began to fight over it.

They wanted the light for themselves.

And darkness was born in their hearts.

The darkness spread, swallowing the light and many peoples hearts.

It covered everything, and the world disappeared.

But small fragments of the light survived... in the hearts of children.

With these fragments of light, children rebuilt the lost world.

It's the world we live in now.

But the true light sleeps, deep within the darkness.

That's why the worlds are still scattered, divided from each other.

But someday, a door to the innermost light will open.

And the true light will return.

So, listen, child.

Even in the deepest darkness, there will always be light to guide you.

Believe in the light, and the darkness will never defeat you.

Your heart will shine with its power and push the darkness away.

Do you understand, Kairi?

In the KH-Manga series, the fairytale (with some modifications) is used as a prologue to the story. there, it goes like this:

Long ago, the world was united and filled with warm light.

People loved the light, and eventually began fighting over it.

Then, Darkness found its way into people's hearts.

Darkness consumed the hearts and light of the people,

and in a flash it spread...

The world disappeared into the darkness.

But a glimmer of light remained in the hearts of children...

Children gathered their glimmers of light and recreated the worlds.

The recreated world, however, was no longer united...

It was divided into several smaller worlds.

Because the true light was still hidden deep within the darkness...
