Isn’t it amazing how just talking to someone privately can make you want to tell the world afterwards exactly what you talked about? … Okay, not exactly everything, because there are some things better left unsaid. But some things… need to be. But these things… need to be said.
[VOICE POST]
[recorder clicks on, a sigh is heard, then her clearing her throat.]
Some of you may know, mostly the friends from my world that understand it all, that I’m a Princess of Heart. Meaning I don’t have an ounce of darkness in my heart-I’m one of the seven girls that are the epitome of light. But just because I am… doesn’t mean I can’t be like any other person. Because of that title, it’s like it’s expected of me to be pure and innocent and just… naïve.
I’ll explain it like I did to whom I was talking to. It’s like I’m some delicate trinket that… if someone were to whisper little facts of reality to me, my shield from that reality will break and I’ll never be pure again.
[a deep breath]
The thing is, I was never pure in the first place. From the moment I set foot on Destiny Islands, I knew I wouldn’t be the same. I was lucky to remember how old I was, yet alone my name. That’s all I was left with, really. I had no idea what I was or where I came from, and after a while, I didn’t mind not knowing. Two successful business managers who had always wanted a child adopted me, because the woman was never able to have children. Yes, they spoiled me rotten for the first few years, and I liked having the attention and feeling so… loved, and I almost forgot that I wasn’t born on the islands. I literally felt like royalty, and always said that Sora and Riku were my own princes. But after a while, they became my knights instead, which was always better because princes don’t really try to protect their princesses like knights do.
[a soft laugh]
That’s not the point. The point is, I’ve seen and been through a lot of things. If I were pure and innocent like every one thinks I am, I would have the perfect life; a loving family who wouldn’t leave me alone for weeks at a time and that I actually resembled, friends I’ve known since birth, and a home that I can actually remember living in.
But I don’t, and I think I’ve been giving people the wrong impression about myself since the beginning. Besides, if I were as innocent as every one thought I was, I wouldn’t be here, would I?
I’m not some delicate trinket that isn’t allowed to touch reality. I’m not some soft-spoken princess who always minds her manners and doesn’t think once about harming another creature. I’m human, and I have feelings, opinions, and desires. I’ve fought Heartless and seen things I’ll admit that I probably shouldn’t have seen at my age. But I saw them, anyway.
I’m just your average sixteen-year-old girl who happens to have the ability to wield a Keyblade. I’d say that’s the only exception to my normal life, but I’m sure everyone here has something out of the ordinary about them.
So for future reference, if I happen to say something that doesn’t seem like something such a sweet, innocent girl should say… just remember that I’m not all that innocent.

So. Is there anything else about me that needs to be clarified, or is everyone pleased with this? ♥ Thanks for talking with me, Lai. I think I really needed to get this out there.
On a lighter note, I think everyone's getting a bit of a surprise at the ball. I decided to not go with my usual color choices or heck, even the type of dress is different than you'd expect, but I'm not telling anyone. You'll all find the night of. The only exception being Misa of course, because she's making it. I'm sure you'll love it, Riku. ♥
[ooc; Okay yeah, a lot of Kairi players are all like, "Oh, well the mayor of Destiny Islands adopted her." Pfft, that's not how I roll, guys. I make things complicated and slightly tragic, even for our favorite princess. And strikes are hackable to who they're addressed to, and that's it. ♥]
