Kingdom Hearts II Kairi's dad?

(sorry if this was posted before)

kairi is the princess of Radient Garden. Ansem the Wise was the ruler of Radient Garden (known as Hollow Bastion before KH2). so does that make him her dad? all the other princess's fathers ruled that world/kingdom. or is he just a ruler b/c he's 'wise' and kairi is just a 'special girl' who happens to be a princess?

 

It never actually states that Ansem was her father. It seems more likely by Xehanort's Ansem Reports that perhaps Kairi and her grandmother were brought to the castle and let to stay there by Ansem the Wise from perhaps somewhere else. Ansem also never claimed to be a 'King' as far as I can remember, but more just as a sage leader sort. He may even have been a regent watching over Radiant Gardens until Kairi would become old enough to become the Queen, but we don't know if she originally was from there. I would think if Xehanort had known of her position as a Princess assuredly, or being the daughter of Ansem, he would have commented more solidly on it. As it stands, he just said he 'thinks' she's a Princess and sent her out to find the Keyblade Wielder, feeling she'd be attracted to it by the power of her Heart and the purity of the Keyblade itself. He took a gamble on it and was right, that she was a Princess.

So all in all it doesn't seem Xehanort knew much but being a trusted apprentice of Ansem and in his life, healed by him and all, one would think he would know it was Ansem's child. Therefore, I doubt she was in fact tied to him by blood, since Ansem also never really states anything about it in his own real reports. It does make me wonder though why Ansem never went into detailing anything about Kairi at all though, and more just about Namine being of connection to her. Hopefully, part of KH3 is going to answer more about Kairi's past since I'm betting it will be pretty important.

 

IMO Kairi is just a special girl who is a Princess. I think in the Secret Ansem reports Ansem refers to Kairi as 'the girl' or something along those lines, and I don't think that if she was his daughter he would refer to her like that.

 

repliku, you always give paragraphs for your explanations Lol
