nope ! it’s canon that kairi can’t remember anything from before she arrived at destiny islands, & i’ve actually expanded on it slightly in a headcanon ( found here ) which i will definitely be rewriting some time soon. the way i see it, is kairi’s memories of radiant garden & her early childhood are still very much alive & whole. they still exist, they have not been broken or disappeared. it’s more like… they’re resting dormant within her heart. with the trauma she underwent just getting to the islands, i headcanon that it was cause of lack of oxygen to her brain ( possibly not though, there may be a much bigger, more plot based reason behind it but i’m just going with what seems most sensible atm ) that caused her amnesia. she can’t call upon these comatose memories, simply because they are so thoroughly borrowed into the depths of her core, but i feel like, since they still are very much present, they still have some sort of impact on her ?
for instance, smell is the sense most closely related to memory, right ? i feel like if she were to smell aqua ( seeing as how everybody has their own distinct scent ) or maybe the flowers at radiant garden, that it would spark some sort of umm… well, it would act as a catalyst, essentially. her memories would kind of begin to surface & poke at her, becoming less & less lost amidst the labyrinth of her heart. at first she’d start dreaming her memories, then as her curiosity grew, she’d begin to maybe search out the place she saw in her dream – more specifically, that little courtyard where she was attacked by the unversed, where aqua saved her. eventually, everything would just flood back to her, all at once. she’d remember the unversed, the flowers, miscellaneous sights & sounds of radiant garden, & even aqua.
i feel like that would lead to kairi really urgently seeking out aqua too tbh ? she’d be so bent on finding her & thanking her. after all, aqua is the sole reason kairi even made it to destiny islands ( the protective charm she casts on kairi’s necklace that, one day when she’s in trouble, would bring her to the light of someone to keep her safe ( that being sora, in my eyes ) ). she’s also the sole reason kairi has the gift of wielding a keyblade, seeing as how, during their meeting kairi accidentally touched aqua’s keyblade, which preformed a keyblade inheritance ceremony. so… idk i feel like kairi would just have a lot to say to aqua. she’d want to make sure she’s okay & would want to return the favour somehow.
tl;dr – no, kairi can’t remember anything about radiant gardens, although the memories do exist, they’re just lying dormant within her heart & are currently unreachable.


I. — malicious or hurtful messages toward myself or anyone else will not be tolerated. i do not take kindly to drama.
II. — this is a semi-private & selective blog. i will only roleplay with you if we are mutuals. this includes askbox memes, open starters & starter calls. you are free to speak to me OOC but please understand that this rule is solely for my comfort.
III. — sometimes my replies will be slow. i am often busy in real life & my health can be wavering. do not harrass me for replies. reminders are wonderful, but please keep them amicable & friendly.
IV. — theft & mimicry will not be taken lightly whatsoever. if i see you taking content from this blog that is my property, or made for me by those generous enough to do so, i will confront you. tags, icons, headcanons, graphics, writing style, coding — all of it. do not steal anything.
V. — i kindly ask that you tag all epilepsy triggers with tw: epilepsy. if you fail to do so, i will be forced to unfollow or mute your blog, simply for health reasons. if you have any triggers you wish me to tag, please do not hesitate to let me know !
VI. — mutual followers are free to ask for my Skype, LINE or Kik as i am usually up to chatting, plotting, or even sometimes rping on all three.
VII. — this blog runs on heavy influence from both headcanons & canon material. seeing as how i’ve had this muse for almost two years now, there has been a lot of extensive development & thought that’s gone into how i play kairi, especially since she is such an under developed character in the games. please keep this in mind whilst rping with me.
VIII. — as of right now i am a single-ship blog although that is always subject to change. i enjoy putting a thorough amount of time & development into ships, so i will definitely be picky about who i choose to do so with. i must be comfortable with you out of character, & chemistry between our muses is always key.
IX. — i will not tolerate god modding or forced relationship. you will be immediately unfollowed / blocked if i see presence of either of these in a thread we share, or a thread you share with someone else.
X. — i am all for NSFW threads, excluding sexual topics. i don’t feel comfortable roleplaying things like that, so don’t expect to see any smut on this blog.
XI. — i prefer plotting threads over just blindly going interacting without at least an idea of what will happen. if you want to roleplay with me, but you don’t have any thread ideas, there are a couple things you could do:
1.) scroll through my rp wishlist [ available HERE] & see if anything catches your eye.
2.) try & find some interesting AU or verse ideas !
