Linguistically, this is true, but the BBS journal says "a loving grandmother", which is much more precise. I think we should rewrite this to remove the speculation.

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".

While in Traverse Town, Sora suddenly experiences one of Kairi's memories—a memory of Kairi's grandmother telling the story of light and darkness while reading in Hollow Bastion's library. 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".

Other appearances[edit]

Kingdom Hearts χ[edit]

Kairi listens to her grandmother recount the story of light and darkness.

Design[edit]

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 also wears a dark cloth tied around her neck (which was maroon in Kingdom Hearts and grey in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep), and a white ring on her left ring finger.
