Tomorrow Kingdom Hearts turns twenty-four. Easy to keep track of how old it is, as I'm only a few months younger. Online discourse tends to blur objective quality with subjective love. Of course, quality is still subjective, but you can make stronger arguments with your points. Kairi is the perfect example to me. She's a terrible character, yet I adore her. She was easily a top-five childhood crush. I was enamoured by her, and I still am, especially her KH1 design. But since KH2, she has just a been bland plot device who barely even interacts with her best friends; she has no lines with Riku in KH3. I loathe the argument of "she's a good character just badly used". That works in very limited contexts, and this isn't one. The writers chose to not do anything with her. She's a bad character, and I just hope KH4 fixes that. I originally wanted to draw her just dangling her shoes. But dangling sneakers is tricky to make appealing on its own, so I added the insole. Some gawk at why one would focus on shoes, but there is something thrilling about worshipping the very fabric that cradles someone's feet I also prefer to give her black nails. The dark contrast fits her colour scheme perfectly. I love her and her deliciously smelly feet. I just wish she were a stronger character outside of fanfiction.
『The Scent of Kairi's Hot Insoles』
Let's see how Kairi smells after days or potentially weeks of wearing the same shoes.
