Character Name: Xion
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Age: About a year old chronologically, 14-15 years physically.
Point Taken: After her fight with Roxas on the Clock Tower/End Game
Background: Kingdom Hearts Wiki!
Personality: Xion, at her a core is a very pure, innocent, short lived girl. She really doesn’t know much about that world that she didn’t learn in her 350 days of life with the organization. Having lived much of that life thinking that she didn’t have a heart and thus couldn’t feel emotions, she’s very stinted when it comes to recognizing certain feelings and expressing them. Due to this, she really doesn’t “get” much about the more complex aspects of emotions like love, jealously, restlessness, nervousness. When it comes to the things that she doesn’t understand, she’s infinitely curious, always ready to learn a new thing or two from the people who are so nice as to be willing to share with her. Not having a 'first' life, she strives towards being able to be a whole person, to be able to have simple talks with people without having to remember what she is, without having to explain. Curious with a cause: That's Xion.
Xion is the kind of girl cherishes friendship above all other things, and would do anything to preserve those relationships with the people she cares about. Around other people she isn’t close to, however, she acts fairly shy and reserved. The more playful sides of her personality only crawl out when she’s comfortable enough around someone. It takes a lot of time for her to be able to open up. For Xion the little things like smiles, touches, laughs, they're all very special things. To her, nothing is ordinary about feelings like those. Additionally, she has an extremely serious, dutiful side that only rears it’s head during situations in which the people she cares about are in serious danger, or when the stakes are at their peak. She can be fairly analytical and observant of her environment. Normally doing what she thinks is best for the task at hand, she’s known to stress a little, but only a little, from her orders. (I.E: Talking to locals when told not to, straying a little bit off course to help somebody in need..)
Xion also has a number of faults in her personality, besides the fact that she’s naive to, well, a fault. When something goes wrong, Xion tends to take the burden up on her own, refusing to ask others for help to ensure that nobody else is damaged by her own mistakes. It’s another aspect of her “anything to preserve the relationship” mentality. She’d let herself be beaten half to death if it meant one of her friends wouldn’t get a cold. She’s more than willing to be the one to shoulder all of the bad, if her friends don’t have to. A bit prone to angst, Xion takes most everything pretty hard, and has a great deal of difficulty looking past her own mistakes, what she is and how she was created, especially. Always throughout her short life, she figured if somebody would have to make a sacrifice, she was the one with the right credentials. If anyone would have to stop existing...
"They say nobodies aren't supposed to exist, but I'm the real affront."
Particularly, Xion is quite fond of a few specific things. One thing she enjoys is being near the ocean, listening to the waves, and collecting sea-shells. However, her favorite thing, the thing she enjoys above all else is simply watching the sunset with her friends, eating a stick of sea-salt ice cream.
Xion is seen differently by just about everyone she ever knew in her life. Mostly because of the various connections to Sora, as she appeared to be their strongest memory of him, but that manner of thinking goes much deeper than that--much deeper than just her physical appearance. Some saw her as a puppet, something to be used until it breaks. Some saw her as a tool to be used again and again, something that shouldn't have it's own will. Some saw her as just another nobody, just another non-person. And Roxas and Axel, of course, saw her as a friend. Around unfamiliar people, it would be easy to peg her as a weirdo of sorts. Her reserved nature in combination with that fact that she knows so little about people and their culture and how they work make her a strange sight to look at. That being, it probably wouldn't be too lofty of a task to trick her, and in a lot of ways she could be easily taken advantage of. The gap between her and 'normal' people is large and hard to fill, but that's one of the things she wants more than anything. Originally she just wanted to run away with her two friends, where they could be together peacefully, but she soon learned that you can’t run forever; you can’t run from your problems. She just wants a life. Free of all the complications of nobodies and replicas. To be able to just sit around with her friends and eat ice cream.
That is where her drives lie. A place where not just her, but everyone can be friends and eat ice cream together. A place where people aren't always hurting each other. A world that isn't too complex, a world where everyone is equal and real. A world where everyone can be honest and not have to worry. And so she'll always be doing what she can to preserve ideals like that. She'll be there to protect the people who need it, and there to stand up against the people who do. It's that kind of stuff, the real stuff, the serious stuff, that's what makes her set aside her reservations. That's where she can make a difference and that's where she can truly matter. It'll take all she's got, but she won't give up. A world where everything is right, and nobody needs to make sacrifices.
Abilities: Xion is a capable and adept swordsman, most often wielding a keyblade as her sword. When reaching her peak of strength, she’s noted to be able to blow through very difficult missions in the organization with extreme speed and ease. In addition to this, Xion can also employ a number of magic techniques, ranging from elemental attacks like fire, blizzard, thunder, etc. to healing and reflective magic. Her adeptness at this magic is decent at best, using it mostly as a compliment to her keyblade skills rather than something she uses alone for battle, unless she doesn’t have a weapon. Her most powerful ability is her ‘Event Horizon’, her “limit” attack which she can imply after having sustained rather serious damage on the battle field. It comes in the form of large, pillars of light that crash down from the heavens, as well as increasing speed, strength and agility for a short amount of time.
She can summon her keyblade into her hand at any time, seemingly from nowhere. It appears in her hand as a stroke of light, and then takes it’s form instantaneously. The keyblade has a square, yellow hilt with a long cylindrical, silver, metal shaft. At the end of the shaft are “teeth” like a key in the shape of a crown.
In addition to this she can open "Corridors of Darkness" which can take her to just about any place that she can see in her head, considering the place she's looking to go doesn't have some sort of magical restriction. However as they're filled with darkness, most ordinary people are not safe to travel through them as the darkness can have very adverse affects on the body and heart.

Occupation: Mail Delivery Girl/ Courier
Weapon/Esper: Her Keyblade/Sylph (Chose Sylph because I thought it’d be cool as a representation of her wind/connection to Sora)
Sample:
First Person:
So, I’ve been looking around...You know, gathering information. [She digs her gloved fingers into her ebon hair. It had been a pretty long day, even if the only real activity she did was walk around. There’s a sort of small, sly smile on her fact as she explains. Going through the same routine she used to in the Organization, back when things were more simple, was a pleasurable nostalgia that helped get her mind off how things changed.]
This place...is actually pretty dangerous, I think. I thought it’d be calm, kind of like Neverland, but there’s this...sinking feeling like something is lurking behind you. [Xion purses her lips and folds her arms, trying to figure out exactly how to put her thoughts into words.] Everything is very...on edge. I’m...trying to be as analytical as I can but...I guess I’m a little distracted. [The smile slips and she blinks her eyes before speaking up a final time.]
...Roxas? ...Axel? Are you guys...?
Third Person:
She takes a stern look at the area around her: Grass, dirt, big, metal gates guarding the mansion-her destination. Everything she had been thinking about before was suddenly being questioned. Ready to find out the answers, ready to accept whatever fate was to lie before her, but those gates. The gates changed everything. The gates made it real. What she thought was unshakable resolve was completely obliterated by a bunch of big, metal bars.
And she started shaking. A lump grew in her throat, and a pit in her stomach. Her breath escaped her mouth as though it were being sucked out, and words along with it, “I’m not so strong…am I? I’m sorry but…I can’t be weak this time.” She gripped the gates and opened them, walking to the doors of the mansion. Everything counted on this. Sora, Riku, Axel, Roxas...She knew that this is what she had to do, but it couldn’t keep her from thinking in the back of her head how sad it was. Xion had to give up the two people she loved most, along with everything else her world had become. Her heart was shaking, nervous, fragile, but she couldn’t waver. This was too important. More important than she was.
“I have to be strong…I have to be strong for everyone…” A small, nostalgic but sweet smile grew on her face as she placed her hand gently upon the doorknob.
“Maybe...someday we can all eat ice cream together. Watch the sunset,” her head tilted upwards, blue eyes looking towards the sun forever hanging just on the horizon. The smile didn’t waver. “That would make me...very happy.”
Questions: Does their new name have to fit with the pattern given to their old name if it's very important to the plot and would make their past make precious little sense if altered to accommodate the new name? Would that at all matter? I'm wondering because to have been in the Organization her name would have had to be an anagram of her "orginal" name with an X included.
Just curious for what to do for the alias, thanks!
