She never interested me because she wasn't particularly proactive? She mostly responded to things that happened to her, and while those responses were sometimes cool it still made her mostly reactive. I couldn't tell you what Kairi's personal objectives, wants, et cetera were, beyond a vague desire for her friends to be alive and happy.

I am also really fuzzy about what happened in Kingdom Hearts. I played it forever ago.

And this reminds me of the fandomsecrets wank about whether or not the Disney princesses are strong characters. Which is appropriate, really.
