The Parents

Throwback time! (Especially now since I’m porting this when I am…)

So, small little postette on the parents. 

First of all, Riku's mother was very easy to figure out.  She was like, jumping off the pages to me.  She was the easiest one to figure out.  When I was bouncing ideas off of what the parents would say and think and do, and act like.  It came to my attention that someone didn't have both of their parents.

And that someone was Riku.  Rar and I were talking about it.  We decided that it seemed very fitting.  Riku's father left when Riku was a small child.  Young enough to be able to rebound, but old enough to remember that he did, at one point, have a father.  This then adds another reason to why he wants to get off the islands so bad.  His father had to go SOMEWHERE, right?

No, his father is not Xehanort.  I don't know who his father is.  No, his father probably won't show back up as a villain.  That's horribly cliché.  I haven't figure it out much farther though.

Riku's mother, has accepted the fact that her husband is not returning.  She has done all she can to raise her son right.  And though he has had a few slip-ups, she is proud of him.  She knows everything that he has done and still loves him.  She is very, VERY compassionate.  She's got a lot of aspects of my own mother, now that I think about it.  Anyway, she adores Namine and do not be surprised to see, in the future, her pestering Riku to propose. 

She's got blonde hair and blue eyes (like her son).  Riku got his silver hair from his father.  (Though now his mother's got silver streaks around her temples.)  She's small, but not tiny.  Maybe a bit plump.  So, basically, she's about as tall as Namine, but not NEARLY as thin.  (Though, Namine is really thin.)

She also accepted Xion without a bat of the eye. Because she's just awesome like that.  She's the one who will be whacking you in the face with a dishtowel one minute, and hugging you the next.

Kairi's parents were pretty self-explanatory.  Her adoptive father is the mayor, so he knows stuff about other worlds.  He's not ignorant.  Kairi's mother is kind and quiet.  Both are very professional, but rather accepting of things.  Kairi hasn't told them everything because she doesn't want them to worry about her when she's away.  How the mayor explains his adopted daughter's absence is beyond me.  Though, it's happened a few times now, and this last time, she brought back her 'sister.'  Thankfully, Namine and Kairi look enough alike for that one to be believable.

Kairi's father is a balding, brown haired man with brown eyes.  Kairi's mother has dark hair (ala, Xion, actually.)  and bright blue eyes.  I imagined that perhaps this is why Xion had black hair.  She took on the memories of Kairi to look like her, but since Kairi's mother had dark hair, it was explained through that.  Idk, just a passing idea.

Sora's parents I haven't particularly worked all the way out yet.  They're kind and accepting.  They know about as much as Kairi's parents do.  Sora doesn't tell them everything, not because he thinks that they'll worry, but he really only tells the stuff he finds interesting or the stuff they explicitly ask about.  His father's got messy brown hair.  Or, rather, spikey brown hair.  Blue eyes and glasses.  His mother's got darker brown hair and green eyes.  And, well, that's all I know.

I'll post more if I think of more.
