                                               ❛   i’ll   fight !   ❜

i present a visual representation of kairi’s fighting stance! the way kairi fights with her keyblade is distinctly different from canon as the divergence i’ve made heavily changes how she gets into fighting and what her introduction to real life experience is.

kairi’s style is much more frantic and survival based stemming largely from the majority of kh2 where she was fighting bladeless and fending off heartless and nobodies with light alone. without a keyblade she had no way of vanquishing enemies for good and heartless would just pop up again soon after, because of this her fighting style became very harsh and fast, relying on a lot of full body activity and barely staying seated ground level to get the upper hand with her magic.

additionally, being so accustomed to fighting without a keyblade kairi learned how to wield her blade both one handed and double and uses a lot of feints and tricks to confuse and rush her foes, she can often be found swinging her blade with one arm, getting an enemy to focus and block said attack, and come in with a hook shot of some rather feisty light magic.

the pose itself is directly referenced from one of clouds poses from advent children! props to @asakishi for helping me find a stance i liked as well!

oh and also she stick out she tongue when focusin real hard and that’s very important to me
