Aaaand I think I quoted and replied to just about every reply in this thread. Fuck.
This.
Her mannerisms are similar to Kairi & Sora's.
Uh, she's unlike both Sora and Kairi as we've seen them. She has all but nothing like Sora, unless you count her self inflicting nature and self sacrificing tendencies, and
maybe selfishness as far as the people near are concerned.
That would be something far too basic to go as far as talking about mannerisms though, and is basic human nature.
As for Kairi,
she eventually gave Sora up which Kairi'd never do, har, she's her exact opposite as we've seen it, so no :\
She draws Sora's memories, if you look at the pictures in the white room.
In Com/Re:CoM, she was actually drawing the Memories she was putting in Sora's Heart. So of course they'd "happen".
Anything else though was "retrospective", yes.
Xion is not Kairi's d 2nd nobody.
Unconfirmed. While I doubt it, she just might end up as such.
Xion is made of memories from sora when he's asleep in the pod.
Xion was created
before CoM. Thus she couldn't have been made when Sora was in the pod - she was already around.
Namine was working for the organization and Diz. But she was more torwards Diz and Riku's nobody's side.
She was working for the Org, and
then for DiZ. She was never a double agent.
And now, let me do this -
*sputters*
WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
OH SHI-
I believe in RECOM she actually cried...Odd...
She cried in the regular CoM, too. Thus Sora asked her not to, and that she'd smile -
at least until he got his real Memories back.
Seeing however how he made her Promise to be there when he woke up, that request was meant to last longer.
Well, and here's where talking to SA will get you, Sora has mentioned twice in the series to Kairi that she's changed. Once in KH1, once in KH2. So, since the time that Kairi has arrived on Destiny Islands to KH1, she has changed. Then after KH1 and later in KH2, she's changed again. What SA said once in a thread was that Namine's personality would be similar to that of Kairi's before she changed the first time. Which kinda makes sense if you think about it, considering she was a little girl waking up on an island she's never seen before with no one that she knows around, so she's bound to be shy and perhaps even scared. And then this earlier personality of Kairi's was later inherited by Namine. SA can explain this better, considering she's the one who originally said it.
No, you put it down pretty much right.
Though I still don't stand completely behind that theory until bluntly implied.
There's nothing I'd like better than for Kairi to end up as Namine, but I dislike Kairi as Kairi and like Namine as Namine too much to want that to happen.
Leave Namine as Namine in Kairi's place, not Kairi as Namine.
