[Background]
[Personality]
Pensive, reflective, yet pressing to be steadfast in what she thinks is right.
Xion first may come off as coy and socially awkward to those she just gets to know. Considering her rare interactions with those outside of the Organization though, it's hardly surprising. It's not to say she can't hold a conversation. She manages well enough with one-on-one interactions as demonstrated with Riku and later with Genie and Naminé. But holding a conversation outside of the Organization's goals often leads to a game of twenty questions and lots of awkward. Which turns into even more awkward when questions are thrown back at her. Xion's very secretive about her origins... Frankly, because she's fearful of anyone knowing about it. There's enough self-loathing for what she is but for others to know as well- It's not information she's willing to give at the drop of a hat and her discomfort shows; she'll do her best to quickly dodge and change the subject. If there's anything she has learned while talking with Axel and Roxas, it's how to hide things- for better or worse. Although, considering her origins, it doesn't take much to realize she has an incredibly bad poker face.
Her general demeanor around new people is calm yet cautious. Curious yet withdrawn. Xion's a thinker, a reflector. Someone who steps lightly and chooses words carefully under quiet circumstances. Often uncertain and second-guessing internally while she may put on a front of vague knowing. Like Roxas, she's very curious and wants answers but she's less inclined to trust people or perhaps has a better grasp of who to trust. Quite possibly a trait from her association with the memories of Kairi rather than Sora himself. She's overall soft spoken and unsure of a lot of things, which makes her appear weak and easily manipulated.
But despite this initial attitude, Xion is surprisingly fiercely independent. This perhaps is complimented by those whose memories she shares. Both Sora and Kairi have their stubborn tendencies, after all. And a strong willingness to handle things on their own... which she's really more than capable of, even in tight situations for long periods of time as demonstrated when she went missing for three weeks because she had lost the ability to use the keyblade. Roxas no doubt influences her as well. It's not that she doesn't trust her friends. She just doesn't wish to burden them, especially with all the insecurities that she has.
Throughout most of her lifespan with The Organization, Xion was constantly putting the pieces together as to the reason why she existed in the first place. What was she, even? These were answers that The Organization itself never gave her, so she had to seek them out through her own means. This mainly stemmed from her meeting with Riku, but with Xion's personality, it was only really a matter of time otherwise. Or so it may be speculated at least. This was information she highly valued-- reasons and knowledge are important to her. So much that she'll leave her friends behind to seek them out herself.
That may lead people to believe that she doesn't trust her friends at all, but that's not the case. Xion puts a lot of faith in them. She just... puts a lot more in herself to be able to handle things. In a way, it makes her brash and perhaps unconsciously cynical-- 'No one can help me by myself', so to say. While relying on others isn't wrong, it makes her feel weak, useless. Disposable. And she hates that feeling. That doesn't mean she won't seek them out at all. She's been known to confront Axel on several occasions. It is perhaps simply due to what she was finding out about herself that she simply wasn't confronting her friends regarding the information-- especially since the further in she got, the meeker things seemed to be.
Even past this though, it's not like she never gives things good thought. As noted before, Xion's always thinking. Always. It's like she couldn't stop even if she wanted to. She's naturally very reflective. Exhaustively so, even. A lot of it stems from her origins, perhaps. Despite her travels, she's not very worldly when it comes to dealing with what might seem as common sense to them. It's like half hers was "lost" when in truth she just doesn't carry even half the memories that she was supposed to purposefully collect. So, she might know what a database is yet she couldn't describe what a library is to you.
This, of course, leads into her melancholic nature. Despite the resolve she does her best to hold onto, Xion's quick to brood over things, even if they are out of her control. She comes off as someone with a lot of empathy-- ironic for what she is. Even if she might think she is trying to do her best and make the right choices, for as resolved as her front was, it doesn't take much for guilt to overwhelm her in confrontation with her friends. The people she cherishes always come before anything else in her mind. So, when she hurts them, it eats away at her indefinitely until she's certain that she's made it up to them. But, even then, it doesn't take much for her to shoulder the blame again if she's reminded. It's just how she is.
Past all her melancholy, Xion does carry a warm side to her. When she opens up to her friends, she more than welcomes, jokes, jeering, and gentle banter. She'll laugh and tease and smile with her friends. This is something that perhaps has been muffled some due to her guilt, but it is a side of her that comes about when she's comfortable and happy. There's nothing that make her feel more at home than spending time eating ice cream up on the clock tower and watching the sunset with her friends. Because those times were when her friends were the happiest... and so was she.
Her friend's happiness- Rather, her friends in general, come before her always. And she will tend to them as best as she can in all the ways she can- even if it means giving up her own existence. Xion once called herself the real affront- finding herself 'nothing more than a puppet'. The answers she found made her lose what little self-worth she had in the first place and it will be a difficult process for her to regain any of that worth.
But that doesn't mean she won't react towards others if provoked. Like Sora, Xion does have a rash side to her, one that makes her dive into a situation without thinking first be it through words or through action. Although Xion doesn't typically display as much aggression towards her friends unless provoked in the first place. Which would explain her difference in reactions between Axel and Roxas when she's finally cornered. Because Axel shows obvious intent to recapture her, Xion retaliates more harshly than she does with Roxas- although to say she doesn't do anything at all towards her other friend would be off, too. Mind, she does point her keyblade at Roxas. Undoubtedly though, she does have a more forward side to that retaliation though. Her first encounter with Riku can attest to it. While showing visible difficulty showcasing it towards Roxas and Axel after all the trouble they've been through as it is, anything that involves having her friends hurt in some way whether physically or otherwise would definitely trigger this side of her. This can also tend to be her knee-jerk reaction when people hide things from her knowingly and purposefully-- Ironic, really.
Past all this though, Xion really is a warm, complex being. She may be replica, or "puppet" as some would call it, but she certainly doesn't seem like one. She smiles, laughs, broods, acts out, and everything in between. To just refer to her as one word would generalize her just as much as anyone else.
In recent times though, not only will Xion be a more of a recluse due to the situation at hand but she will be more likely to show moments of distress. Dealing with the appearance she now has to live with for however long she stays at Somarium will undoubtedly have a heavy impact on her, causing her plenty of confusion, anxiety, although she will ultimately have to try to find a proper way to manage it.
[Specialties/Abilities]
Keyblade
A weapon that chooses its wielder. Capable of sealing worlds and freeing hearts.
Sham or not, due to Sora's power being absorbed into her own being, Xion has become capable of calling on this to aid her. And since her time during the Organization revolved around destroying heartless of many varieties, Xion fights proficiently later on as seen in her defeat of Xigbar and how Axel barely managed to bring her back to the Organization's home front before collapsing into unconsciousness.
She holds it two-handed usually and tends to make wide arced strikes. Her fighting style comes off often as one of desperate but focused offense. She might appear clumsy, but it is that very first impression that just serves to give her an edge over an opponent unknowing of her true abilities.
The keyblade itself is large enough both to serve well in packing a lot of punch as well as taking a beating instead of its wielder. The pummel is perfect for blocking attacks since it's ridiculously wide although she's more likely to use the blade itself to defend herself. Because it's naturally attune to magic as well, she can channel stronger spells of various varieties through it. The keyblade's most intense strength as far as magic goes is its own light induced properties, giving her a strong combination of wide area of effect attacks at the cost of quickly exhausting her. One ability to note is actually the same one that Roxas himself uses: (Event Horizon (3:50). During it, she strikes twice as fast with light-induced properties collected in her keyblade for an edge. In the final strike, four pillars of light explode out from the center and shoot out in all four cardinal directions. Just like his, she can only use it as a safety net sort of move and it quickly exhausts her, but it's very efficient when desperate times call for desperate measures.
Also to be noted is that the keyblade acts basically like a skeleton key. Most things with lock-holes can be either locked or unlocked with it unless there is a magic that counteracts the attempt. It is still arguable whether her own can or can't seal worlds, but considering there are no worlds to do that with in Somarium, it's a moot point.
Magic (See Days Section) -
While the other Organization members specialize in one specific element (such as Axel to fire and Vexen to ice), Xion is capable of four different offensive arts including Fire, Thunder, Aero, and Blizzard. She also can produce the healing spell, cure. All of these spells have three different levels to them that produce more powerful or skillful results. Second level spells end in -ra. Third in -aga. Due to the variety, the power of these spells would not necessarily rival a well trained sorcerer/magician. However, they do serve the excellent purpose of long range and give her a more well-rounded background. As one would guess though, the stronger the spell, the more energy it saps out of her. These spells can be produced either by bare hands or through the keyblade. The keyblade itself strengthens the spell, capable of better channeling the magic.
Dark Corridors
Portals that take root in darkness and harness a shortcut through an alternate plane to cut through the distance in seconds whether it be between one side of a city to another or one world to another. Of course, Xion must first have a visual of the place she needs to portal to before she can go there herself (or so head canon dictates), but once she has been to a place, she need only envision it and open a corridor to traverse there. While she won't be able to move between worlds in Somarium, these will become a useful aid for moving around in the city itself.
Memory Absorption
Because of what Xion was made to do, she was initially created to absorb Sora's memories from Roxas and Sora himself. This was what led to her downfall in the end where she had to choose to either erase herself or watch her friend be erased. Due to her canon point, she holds a large quantity of memories from Sora and therefore is more likely to have points where she will be overwhelmed my memory storms. In other words, they are points where a memory might be triggered from something or someone and she will be absorbed in it momentarily before just relapsing back to the situation itself. Mind, although she has the memories, that doesn't mean she will necessarily know the whole context of them. Think of her as being a bystander, watching them unfold off to the side but being too far away to hear anything.
Extra Ability Info
Also to be noted is that Xion basically mirrors Roxas' acrobatic tendencies-- and, well. Basically any of his abilities that he has she is able to do, herself. Such as air sliding, gliding for short periods, dodge rolling (self-explanatory), and aerial recovery (able to bounce back mid-air time after being hit and thrown in the air). About the only thing she hasn't mirrored is his ability to dual-wield-- and for a striking reason. Considering he was granted it when he absorbed her powers.

These spells can be produced either by bare hands or through the keyblade. The keyblade itself strengthens the spell, capable of better channeling the magic.
- First Level
Fire
A single projectile fireball. Its power is generally weak, but it homes in on its target with decent speed and a generous range. Can burn a target.
Blizzard
A projectile spell similar to fire. Its range and speed are terrible, but it can hit its target multiple times. Can potentially temporarily freeze a target.
Thunder
A line of bolts that rains from the heavens towards its main target. The line comes quickly and can hit multiple targets on the way, but the spell itself follows a straight line, not homing like fire or blizzard. Can temporary paralyze the target.
Aero
Acts the same as fire only stronger and with lesser homing abilities.
Cure
A direct spell that heals all minor scrapes and bruises and partly heals medium-deep cuts of one target. Instantaneous. *Note that cure does not rid of hunger or thirst.
Second Level
Fira
This spell grants a higher amount of power than the previous fire spell, capable of hitting multiple enemies at a considerate speed. However, unlike Fire, it can only go in a straight line. Can burn a target.
Blizzara
While still slow and with a short range like the prior spell, this one gives off a small explosion instead when it hits its target, causing both it and whatever other enemies around it considerable damage. Can temporarily freeze a target.
Thundara
Bolts of lightning rain down, hitting randomly around the caster. On the upside, the spell can hit multiple targets at once to cause some decent damage. On the downside, the lack of control can cause the spell to hit allies as well as enemies. Can temporarily paralyze a target.
Aerora
A single projectile wind elemental spell that shoots out in a zig-zag pattern. Targets hit can be blown into the air.
Cura
Acts like Regen from Final Fantasy. Whoever she has cast it upon will heal gradually. Lasts five tag rounds.
Third Level
Firaga
Shoots up in the air before homing in on its target with considerable speed and moderate damage. Upon impact, it will explode on its target. Can burn a target.
Blizzaga
Unlike its previous forms, this spell can be planted like a mine. Targets that come within range of it are in it when it explodes just like one, too, for moderate damage. Once planted though, it can't be removed and allies may be hit by it instead if they aren't careful. Can potentially freeze a target temporarily.
Thundaga
A larger, more powerful bolt that hits its target not once but twice. The second time causing some area of effect.
Aeroga
A whirlwind surrounds the caster, pulling targets towards them. Those in close range suffer extra damage from the spell's effect alone on top of whatever damage they might be on the receiving end of, melee-wise.
Curaga
A small recovery area is created. Those inside it will heal quickly. Lasts up to three tag rounds unless Xion herself extends it by remaining there.
Dark Corridors
Portals that take root in darkness and harness a shortcut through an alternate plane to cut through the distance in seconds whether it be between one side of a city to another or one world to another. Of course, Xion must first have a visual of the place she needs to portal to before she can go there herself (or so head canon dictates), but once she has been to a place, she need only envision it and open a corridor to traverse there.
