'''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".

==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.
