Kiri

Kiri was born in 2155 in the dormant body of Grace Augustine's avatar. According to Dr. Norm Spellman's tests, Kiri was created parthenogenetically: she is genetically identical to Grace and has no father, making her a clone of Grace. During the ritual of transferring Grace's consciousness, a "seed" was "planted" into her body by Eywa, resulting in Kiri's birth. Kiri occasionally visits Grace's comatose body in the pod. She has two mothers: her biological mother, Grace (the Avatar), and her adoptive mother, Neytiri. Kiri refers to Grace as her mother and Neytiri as her mom. The character debuted in the comic book Avatar: Sublimity and later appeared in the films Avatar: The Way of Water and Avatar: Fire and Ash. Kiri was played by Sigourney Weaver, who also played Grace Augustine in the first film.

A hybrid of Na'vi and Avatar, Kiri possesses some human features, such as eyebrows and five fingers.
Bond with Eywa. Kiri has a strong connection with Eywa, the neural biochemical network that connects all organisms on Pandora. She can sense Pandora's heartbeat, communicate with flora and fauna, and even control certain living creatures.
Symbol on forehead. Kiri has a closed oval on her forehead, resembling an eye. This may be a reference to her unusual abilities (the "third eye") or to Grace being reincarnated through the "Eye of Ava." Necklace. Kiri wears a necklace that was given to her by

Role in the plot
After Sally's family was forced to flee and settle in the Metkayina clan's village, Kiri, accustomed to life in the forest, was deeply affected by the forced move. However, finding herself at sea, she discovered a new, vibrant world, which helped her overcome her melancholy. In the climactic scene, Kiri contacts the Metkayina clan's Tree of Life and enters the realm of souls, where she meets Grace. There, she questions her mother about her origins, but before Grace can answer, she is consumed by an unknown force, and Kiri suffers a seizure. Thus, Kiri is a complex and multifaceted character, whose unique connection to Pandora's nature and internal struggle make her a key figure in the second installment of the franchise.

Origin and characteristics
Kiri was born in an unusual way: after her biological mother, the avatar Grace Augustine, died, she was placed in a special capsule where she carried and gave birth to her daughter. Kiri is essentially a parthenogenetic clone of Grace; she has no father. Because her mother was an avatar, Kiri has some human features: eyebrows and five fingers. She also lacks the elongated fangs characteristic of most Na'vi. Since childhood, Kiri has had an unusually strong connection with Eywa, the goddess of Pandora, who rules over all life. This connection surpasses even the experience of the tsahik (priestesses). Thanks to it, Kiri can communicate with animals and plants: they are drawn to her, and during battle, she even takes some of them under her control.

Character
Kiri's personality is contradictory: she combines a lively disposition and a sharp tongue with vulnerability and self-doubt.
Lively and rebellious. She doesn't hesitate to argue with her older brothers, sometimes using harsh language. Kiri can go against her parents' wishes if she feels it's the right thing to do.
Mischief and teasing. She loves to tease her brothers and sisters, but she doesn't tolerate it when it turns mean.
A self-deprecating sense of humor. In one scene, Kiri says she would commit suicide by taking acid.
Shyness and insecurity. Kiri struggles with being different from other Na'vi and feels awkward.
Caring for her loved ones. She takes protecting her family seriously and is skilled with a knife, as well as always carrying healing herbs for emergencies.
Closeness with two mothers. Kiri is equally warm to both her adoptive mother, Neytiri, and her biological mother, Grace, whom she visits in the capsule.

Realizing that Quaritch will not leave his family alone, Jake makes a difficult decision: leave Omaticaya, handing over the chieftaincy to Tarsem, and head to the seashore to seek refuge with the Metkayin, a clan living on the reefs. Upon reaching Ava'atlu, the Metkayin village, the fugitives meet Chief Tonowari and Tsahik Ronal. While Tonowari greets Jake and Toruk Makto as an old acquaintance, Ronal is far less friendly, especially when she discovers human traits in Kiri and Lo'ak. Nevertheless, Jake manages to persuade the ruling couple to grant them an utura, sanctuary within the clan, and a new life by the sea begins for Sully's family. Kiri and Sully's other children learn from the Metkayin children how to hold their breath underwater, communicate with hand signals, and swim on mud. Gradually, Kiri becomes captivated by the beauty of the underwater world and begins to explore its inhabitants more closely, unwittingly attracting the attention of Ronal and the other children. One day, Aonung, Rozzo, and their friends begin to harass Kiri while she's simply gazing at the sandy bottom of the lagoon; they call her crazy and a half-breed, to which Kiri tries to simply run away, but is prevented from doing so. Lo'ak joins the conflict, and then Neteyam arrives, urging the younger children to be more respectful of his sister. However, a fight cannot be avoided: when Aonung and the others begin gossiping about Sally's family again, Lo'ak lashes out, and is later joined by his brother. Kiri initially calls on the bullies to stop, but then, realizing it's futile, she simply begins to laugh at the boys. However, the bullying doesn't go unnoticed by Kiri: later, while she's helping Neytiri around the house, her adoptive mother notices that she's sad, and when she asks what's wrong, Kiri tearfully asks why she can't be normal, like everyone else. Neytiri can only hug her, comforting her.

This is his undoing: when Neytiri, arriving to help the children, sees a Recom threatening her adopted daughter, she fires an arrow right through his eye, thereby revealing herself to Quaritch but also giving the children an opportunity to escape. Kiri flees with Spider through the tree branches, but the soldiers pursue them, and at one point, overtaken by a shell explosion, Spider falls to the ground, where he is captured by Quaritch, who has already recognized the boy as his own son. Kiri tries to return to save her adopted brother, but Neytiri and Jake persuade her to leave: the colonel has no need to kill a man, but they all need to worry about their own safety.

Following Jake Sully's squad's successful attack on the RDA maglev, the Na'vi return to High Camp, where Kiri, along with Mo'at, treats the wounded Neteyam, insisting on a different medicine that stings less. Later, the girl visits her biological mother, Grace Augustine's avatar, stored in an amniotank in one of the mobile units, and watches video recordings Grace made while still alive. A conversation arises between her, Lo'ak, and Spider about Kiri's biological father, and the boys suggest that it could have been Norm Spellman, to which Kiri reacts with obvious disgust. Spider responds that sometimes it's better not to know who your father is, and Kiri consoles his friend, assuring him that he's not like Miles Quaritch. Later, Kiri joins Lo'ak, Spider, and Tuktiray, who have decided to explore the old battlefield between the Na'vi and the humans. While the others examine the wreck of the downed Samson, stuck in the branches, Kiri relishes the connection with the world of Pandora, becoming so absorbed that it takes a while to come to her senses. On the way back, Lo'ak notices strange footprints left by booted feet and decides to track down the strange strangers. The last ones turn out to be a squad of recoms belonging to the revived Colonel Quaritch, and the children discover them at the old mobile unit where the human Quaritch once made his final stand. Lo'ak manages to report the intruders to his parents and Neteyam, after which he receives orders to retreat to High Camp. However, the retreat fails, and the Recoms capture the children. Lyle Wainfleet draws the colonel's attention to Kiri's five-fingered hands, which mark the children as half-breeds, and Quaritch realizes he has captured Sally's offspring. While the squad awaits the airships that will transport the valuable captives to the Beachhead City, Kiri constantly prays to Eywa, irritating the Recoms holding her.

(They kill Kiri's banshee along the way), but they eventually meet up with Jake, Neytiri, and Neteyam, and reach the Hallelujah Mountains, where Minsha evacuates them on the Valkyrie. Unfortunately, the shuttle's engines are damaged during the chase, causing it to crash into the ocean; despite a nearby nalutsu, the entire family manages to escape safely.

Kiri and Spider repeatedly visited Hell's Gate, where they reviewed Jake's recordings from his time as a human. Spider was tormented by doubts about his right to remain with Sally's family (the McCosker family, who had taken him in, lived on the base), but Kiri assured him that she considered Spider an adopted brother, just like Neteyam and Lo'ak, and that Neytiri loved Spider, even if she didn't show it.

Later, while Jake and Neytiri were busy at the Council of Elders, Kiri and Tuktirey, along with Spider and Lo'ak, traveled to an ancient battlefield between Na'vi and humans. There, among the branches of a tree, they discovered the wreckage of the Samson and the skeletons of its pilot and Ikran. While the boys were fascinated by the craft and examined its wreckage, Kiri taught Tuktirey how to pay respects to the fallen Ikran. When the Samson's wreckage slips from a branch and falls to the ground, Tuktirey and Kiri are left hanging by vines, but Kiri manages to lower herself and her younger sister safely to the ground using her strange abilities. When word of ten RDA warships arriving on Pandora is revealed, Sully's entire family prepares to move to the Hallelujah Mountains, but Kiri is nowhere to be found. Eventually, her adoptive parents find her at Hell's Gate: she persuades Nash McCosker to let Spider, his adopted son, go with them. Jake, however, believes Spider would be better off with his human parents, which greatly upsets Kiri: she yells at them and Neytiri and runs away. She eventually meets Mo'at, who reassures her that change is part of normal life. Afterward, Kiri goes to the Tree of Souls to pray, after which she decides to return and meet Spider again.

Together with Lo'ak and Tuktiray, they sneak into Hell's Gate and knock on Spider's bedroom window. The children's conversation is noticed by McCosker, who, under the guise of helping, lures the children into different rooms and locks them in. Spider manages to escape from his room, after which he frees his friends, and the entire group escapes the base. RDA soldiers are hot on their heels.

Kiri was conceived at the moment of her mother, Grace Augustine's, death during a failed consciousness transfer ritual. Avatar Grace, placed back into the capsule by scientists, carried the fetus to term and gave birth. Kiri has no father and was created parthenogenetically, essentially a clone of Avatar Grace. Mo'at claimed that during the ritual, Eywa planted a seed in the body of Avatar Grace and Kiri—Eywa's child.

As the child of an avatar, Kiri possesses some human traits, such as eyebrows and five fingers. Kiri's origins were never hidden from her, and she acknowledges two mothers—her adoptive mother, Neytiri, and her biological mother, Grace, whom she occasionally visits in the capsule where the avatar is kept in a near-comatose state. Kiri was born around the same time as Neteyam, and together they formed their first bond with Eywa at the Tree of Souls in front of all the Omaticaya. From birth, Kiri spent time with her adoptive siblings, considering the Sally family her only relatives. She also developed a close relationship with Miles Socorro, nicknamed "Spider," whom she also considered a brother (though the Sally family did not adopt him; the McCoskers were his adoptive parents).

Kiri bonded with the ikran at a very early age and in a very unusual way: instead of taming the beast with a trapper, she simply asked it to be her friend.
