I'd say Kairi was more the bridge in the first game; finding and saving her was the common goal of Riku and Sora; their different paths in doing so created conflict. 

I'd say Tsu would be a bit of a mix between KH1 Kairi and KH2 Riku. I feel like either Hoshi or Alias could end up going down a darker path as they search for him. Definitely need a good clue to drop to solidify that Tsu is still alive.

You're right. She was. I forgot that was also Riku's motivation and not just Ansem and Sora's.

And I can see it. Especially for Alias when he ends up in Wonderland alone. Can't find his friends and most of the people he meets are crazy besides Alice who in a way reminds him of Hoshi. Though I also have an idea in regards to that, that could take things in an interesting direction. Like if he ends up absorbing Alice like Sora did Kairi instead of her being taken by the villains. But the whole time he just believes that he lost another friend.
