Character from Kingdom Hearts by Tetsuya Nomura / Square Enix & Disney
An imperfect Replica built from Sora's memories of Kairi — the fourteenth member of Organization XIII who chose to destroy herself so that Sora could be whole again.
Xion is the ghost in the machine — a Replica created by the Organization as a failsafe to absorb Sora's power through his memories. She was never meant to be a person. She was a tool, a cage, a backup plan. And then she made friends. Her tragedy is that she discovered who she truly was only after she had already become someone worth knowing. Shy and uncertain at first, she blossomed through her friendship with Roxas and Axel into someone sincere, brave, and quietly determined. She loved seashells because of borrowed memories she didn't know were borrowed. She laughed at Axel's jokes. She watched sunsets. And then she learned the truth: her existence was slowly killing Sora. Every memory she absorbed weakened him further. Her choice — to fight Roxas so that he would destroy her and return the stolen memories — is perhaps the most selfless act in the entire saga. She died knowing that everyone who loved her would forget she ever existed. That is the cruelest kind of sacrifice: to give up not just your life, but your place in the memory of everyone who made that life worth living.
A young woman with short black hair and bright blue eyes who strongly resembles Kairi. She wears the standard black Organization coat with slightly pointed shoulders and heeled boots. Her face shifts and blurs for those who perceive her differently — some see Sora, others see Ventus, and most see a faceless puppet. She wields the Kingdom Key Keyblade.
