'''Kairi's Grandma''' was an elderly woman who resided in [[Radiant Garden]] and presumably has a close connection to [[Kairi]].<ref>The Japanese word translated as "grandmother", ''obaasan'' (おばあさん), is more flexible in definition and can refer to any old woman a person is accustomed to.</ref> She is seen to encounter [[Aqua]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', the Keyblade warrior having previously rescued her granddaughter. At the [[Hollow Bastion]] library, she related to a young Kairi a story about the [[light]] and the birth of the [[darkness]] coveting the light. Thanks to Kairi's heart being transplanted into Sora during the destruction of [[Destiny Islands]], Sora was able to access Kairi's apparently lost memory of her grandmother telling her the story of light and darkness. Later, after Kairi is restored to completion, [[Sora]], upon meeting Kairi in the Underwater Cavern in [[Traverse Town]], acknowledges that there is a deeper meaning to this story, and stated that it was "more than just a fairytale".

''A loving grandmother. Kairi could listen to her story about the light a hundred times and never get bored.''

Kairi's Grandma first appears in terms of story chronology in ''Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep''. She finds Kairi after Aqua and Mickey saved her granddaughter from a group of Unversed. While walking away, Kairi pleads her grandma to tell her her favorite story about the light and the darkness, with Aqua listening in the background.<br clear=all/>

===''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''===
Kairi's grandmother only appears when Sora experienced Kairi's memories. In the flashback, she told Kairi a story.

:''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 people's 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 darkness 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 [[Kingdom Hearts Manga]] series, the fairytale (with some modifications) is used as a prologue to the story.

:''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...''

==Appearance==
Kairi's Grandma is a small, elderly woman with thick, grey hair tied into a bun. She is usually seen smiling pleasantly with her eyes closed, though the few times they are seen open, she is shown to have blue eyes like Kairi. She wears a sleeveless, purple dress with a white apron overtop it. She also wears a dark cloth tied around her neck, and a white ring on her left ring finger.

==Trivia==
* One line from the grandmother's story, "Even in the deepest darkness, there will always be light to guide you", is a recurring theme in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. It could very well be an allusion to [[Kingdom Hearts (world)|Kingdom Hearts]], which is situated deep in the Darkness. This line was uttered in different words by Sora, Aqua, [[Riku]], [[Naminé]] and [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]]. Tetsuya Nomura, according to '''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''', used this same line for the formation of the final scene of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' in [[Dark Meridian]], where the shore was situated in the Realm of In Between whilst the sea was situated in the Realm of Darkness. The Door to Light opening in the water is reminiscent of this line.

After Kairi is rescued and taken to Traverse Town's Underwater Cavern, she tells Sora that there is a deeper meaning to this story, and that it was "more than just a fairy tale".

-Kairi's grandmother appears briefly in the opening cutscene as a page of the Book of Prophecies. She tells the story of light and darkness to Kairi while they are picking flowers, with the story serving as foreshadowing of future events.
