kairi is a master illusionist, despite her young age. she's naturally talented at wielding her power, be it crafting an elaborate scene that entices rage from onlookers, or just wowing a crowd as she draws in mid air with brilliant light colors. she loved to do that as a child- now she'll draw as a means of silencing someone. turns out, it's very distracting to have a girl drawing while you're trying to speak. and of course, she can turn into a little speaking fox creature. she doesn't know how to go about using her illusions in her fox form, though, or even if it's possible but she tries to learn how. honestly, though, she doesn't know how to do much else in the way of powers. she's sure she has a few, she just hasn't learned of them yet.
Appearance »»
kairi hates it, but the truth is, her appearance is what tells you she's not human. if you miss the distinct demon smell, you won't miss her golden eyes. when her power is being used, her eyes turn a dull gray like she's devoting all the color she can to creating an illusion. her hair is blonde, her skin is pale, and she's short. youthful, but destined not to grow, the fox demon stands at five feet, six inches. her weight is presently fixed at one hundred and nine pounds.
when she's not a human, she has the unique ability of becoming a fox. her fur becomes relatively light, like her hair in human form, but her eyes become green. and, keep in mind, she's usually holding veritas in her arms.

Overall Personality »»
kairi has a very apparent obsession with veritas. while she can seem almost normal most of the time, there's something about that little snowman... it's like her entire world revolves around him. when she's not protecting him, she's very playful in nature. if she's not teasing you, she's most often angry, so embrace the teasing while you can. she's also affectionate, but she isn't quick to trust you, so sometimes it's hard to imagine she'd ever do more than glare in your direction. overall, though, she's very optimistic and confident, having decided early on that being independent was something she was born into.
the one group of people she seems inclined to be unkind toward are those with money. she came from a wealthy family, but she isn't particularly charmed by those who flaunt money or status around her. all they're good for is a job which she can use to pay for a place to live. if she is nice, it's probably a forced labor- one more tedious aspect of her need for money.
I've become numb

____ Stories of Kairi and Veritas
Giggling punctuated the silence, finally, as Kairi positioned her hand in front of her eyes, obscuring the television from her view.
"What are you doing?[/color]"Veritas prompted. He must catalog this information so that he could amuse his young charge later. Three year olds were not standard programmed proceedure. They defied all logic and required constant revision of protocool. Kairi winced at his robotic tone, but she answered his question anyway.
"Keeping you from seeing the t.v., silly robot.[/color]"Kairi explained. "Didn't they teach you at the factory?[/color]" Kairi turned her gaze to the robot to her right without moving her hand. The robot stared at her for several moments, then, as if registering a command, he looked over at the television. It still appeared visible, didn't it?
"I can see the television set.[/color]"Veritas stated plainly. Kairi glared.
"Can't, robot. I can't see it, see? My hand is there!"Kairi scolded, convinced the robot was just trying to fool her. Veritas got up, his steps deliberate and measured as he neared the televison. Once he was close enough, he placed his hand on the screen, his gaze fixed forward. A shrill scream literally made the robot fall over. Sensory overload. He couldn't interpret it fast enough.
Kairi picked the robot up, carting it off to the corner of the room. She set him down in her time out corner.
"Stay. I'm telling mommy and daddy you were being mean to me.[/color]"Kairi informed the robot. But, had she really intended to tell her parents, she already knew they weren't around and wouldn't be for quite some time. By then she'd probably forget all together. So, Kairi curled up on the couch to watch television, feeling as lonely as ever even with the silly robot there.
When she woke up, Veritas was laying by her side like he was programmed to do whenever she slept. She smiled, hugging him closer. Veritas' past transgression was completely forgotten.
~~~
"How was Kairi's weekend?"Came the hushed voice of Kairi's mother. Kairi was tucked into bed a floor above them already, sound asleep, but there was something almost conspiratory about her mother's tone. The robot she was speaking to didn't pick up on it.
"Saturday, August eighteenth, 0900, thirty-six minutes, fifty-one seconds, Kairi Ibsen made a peanut butter sandwhich. She finished it at-[/color]"
"Veritas, cease. Veritas. Rephrase request. Veritas. Was Kairi happy this weekend? Omit time signatures. Casual tone protocol."Kairi's mother certainly wasn't used to conversing with the robot, but there was that one seminar when she'd invested. The robot was supposed to react quicker and with more ease when things were direct and when his name was used.
"Kairi's happy mostly. Kairi has temper. Kairi is entergetic. Kairi likes acting silly. Kairi misses parents. Kairi -[/color]"
"V.T, where are you?[/color]"Kairi's voice came from the doorway. It was said in a gasp, like she could hardly breathe. Veritas stood up on the table.
"Kai. Protocol not followed.[/color]"Veritas stated. It was as close to a sorry as the six year old had ever gotten in the three years she'd had Veritas, but it was good enough. She ran to the table, picking him up and hugging him close.
"Kairi."Kairi's mother murmured, not expecting to see the tears cascading down her young daughter's face. "Come here, Kairi," She extended her arms for an embrace.
"I-it's past my bedtime. Daddy said I had to go to sleep after I found V.T.. Night mommy.[/color]"Kairi replied before she scurried away. The sound of her rushed footsteps along the hardwood stairs, followed by the distinct sound of a door closing, made it clear she wouldn't reconsider.
~~~
"No, I said white frosting, V.T.[/color]"Kairi giggled as the snowman showed her the bowl of hot pink icing. The robot dug his paw into the mixture in his mixing bowl. After removing it and examining it, he pressed his pink paw onto her cheek.
"Pink Kai.[/color]"Veritas announced. "Cute Kai.[/color]" Kairi giggled at the robot's assessment. It didn't matter to her that she knew he thought pink was synonymous with cute, it still felt like a compliment.
"Now you're snowball cakes will be pink, V.T.. You're so silly.[/color]"Kairi stated. V.T. tilted his head slightly to the left, so she giggled and picked him up.
"Okay, we can make pink snowballs. Let's see if the cakes are done yet.[/color]" One quick look in the oven proved they were more than done. They were turning a dark brown, which was specifically problematic because originally, it was a vanilla cake. Panicked that she was ruining Veritas' birthday, she set V.T. in the sink near the oven, then grabbed the tray using only the sleeves of her shirt against the heat.
Kairi practically threw the pan onto the counter. Miraculously, the cakes (which were in a pan with semi-circle spots) survived the rough handling. One couldn't exactly say the same about Kairi's hands.
