Kairi's page

Kairi's past lives have been hazy and unclear in memory. But 1 goal in each succession has remained, to create the perfect meal with the finest ingredients in the world of Golarion. Her personality has changed through rebirth, but the passion has stayed the same. The delight of seeing children smile at the sight of dessert, the joy of watching a grown man pat his belly when he is full, the smell of food that draws people together to make communities. Kairi believes that food has a magical power, the most beautiful way to exercise intrinsic benevolence. She is on the hunt for the finest food that will change the foundation of cuisine and happiness. However, the journey to accomplish such a daunting task will not be an easy one. All people deserve a seat at her dinner table.

Kairi was born many lifetimes ago as a human by her Samsaran father, Biderick, and human mother, Helena Stron, in the country of Varisa. Kairi was a human women named Serena at that time long ago. She was a rather spiritual person and focused on awakening herself. She disciplined herself as a monk, seeking absolute perfection in her work. Indeed, She soon became a worshiper of Irori. But she took very hard creeds in her journey to self perfection. Fasting herself from food as a demonstration that she would not succumb to the desires that haunted every human. But life took a different turn. While she was starving on the street, a fellow by the name of Farston Tanya was a well known cook of the time. He quickly took her in. He was intensely attracted to her. He thought she was crazy to pull such behaviors as starving oneself to remove the temptation of overconsumption or what a person might call gluttony. He convinced her to try one dish, one single dish of well made food.

As she took a bite, she found something she has never witnessed before, harmony. She cried at the thought knowing fully well, that her father left her when she was a baby. What her mom said was that her father was seeking some kind of self perfection. Her mom was heartbroken, but her mom understood. Serena (Kairi) did not understand, the only she could deal with never knowing her father was to seek self perfection herself.

She was joyful and quickly asked for more food. They fell in deep love a few months later. They had children and a family cooking business crowded with adventurers from everywhere. Farston always said, "When you give a traveling adventurer nice food, dreams will be made and they will become the best stories you hear." Farston's dream was to create the perfect 5 course meal with the addition of dessert at the end of the 5 courses. Throughout their lives they worked hard to make his goals come to fruition, but unfortunately a human life was to short for such a goal. Farston died of old age.

She was devastated at his death, but a few years later, she died of old age as well. But suddenly she was reborn as a light blue looking humanoid. A samaran! She was strangely raised by her own children. Of course, she never knew that she once was their mother. They seemed quite familiar people, but she could not figure it out. Deeply intact in her mind is still a desire to cook, Farston's dream became her own. She soon figured out that she could not stay stationary to fulfill her goal to make the ultimate 5 course meal. She will have to hunt for the cuisine.

Many lifetimes later she was named Kairi. In this lifetime she was a cleric of Irori. Through travel, she befriended a woman named Niska Mvashti. She traveled with the caravan that Niska Mvashti was in. Being well fed was a must. Kairi expertly rationed delicious meals that won the respect of the caravan. The caravan served her goals of adventure and curiosity. When Kairi and Niska traveled to Varisa, Kairi explained to her that she will die soon. She told her to bring her to a town that she can grow up happily in as a reborn child. "My cooking will remain, but my memories of you may not remain. Please let me remember my name." Kairi begged Irori to give her powers to succeed in her endeavor on her next life succession, even if in her next life she chooses not to worship. For she has served him well in this lifetime. Niska followed her wishes.

Kairi was raised my Niska mostly in sandpoint. Niska considered Kairi as one of her children along with her daughter Koya. Kairi read veraciously in her younger years, reading anything she could find. Seeing this, Niska gave her a present, a book full of recipes. As Kairi opened that book for the first time, a flood of passion returned to her. Her goal through many lifetimes was not lost.

Cooks were considered to be quite dexterous, but Kairi was not. Pots and Pans were broken, food splattered all over the floor and many cooking tools were dropped. With determination she picked up what she dropped and cleaned her mistakes. She developed a rhythm in her cooking, using her mind over matter.

Holding food by her two hands closed together in a cup, she dropped her food in the right places: In pots, pans, plates and bowls. Her cooking became admired by the community in Sand Point. Visitors and guests were treated with fine gourmet and hospitality. She loved hearing stories and tales from anyone. During this time she also took care of Niska. This is because of Koya's recent travels with Shandru's caravan.

Many years of joyful cooking passed. In till one day while cooking, Kairi dropped to floor unconscious for 20 minutes. She was shocked to learn that she was partially blind, she could not see farther than 30 feet in any direction. She was devastated and deeply depressed. She was only getting worse because of her continued discovery of her new powers. Despite of her newfound struggle, Niska sent her a urgent message asking Kairi to cook for her. Kairi came by to visit despite her own struggle. Kairi did not know she was going to hear Niska's last words to her. "Your powers were made not to hinder, but to help. I believe I know someone who will need your help. I have no doubt that Koya will soon strongly ponder searching for a rather long venture somewhere. If she does.. please protect her. Please Kairi! It is time to let go of your previous doubts and rise to the occasion."

They hugged for the last time and said their goodbyes. Kairi was free from her self toture. Kairi left bittersweet, she knew Niska's death was soon. However, she believes that somehow Niska will still be in her presence even after her death. Niska did so much for her. Kairi will sacrifice her life to protect Koya, if that is what needs to be done.

Kairi is a strong beautiful young woman. Her shape and curves compliment her blue skinned female body. She clearly has more muscle then the average person. Her face is pleasantly symmetrical. She has long black hair. Her eyes have no pupils to speak of, her eyes are purely white with a slight glow. Her hands have been worked with food for so long that they are finely scented in cooking ingredients. She sits tall and straight showing a clear charismatic posture.
