Soon afterward, Roxas finds Xion at the Twilight Town train station, she confronts him, and removes her hood. Xemnas then steps out from the shadows and carries the unconscious girl away to reprogram her to use the devices he had planted throughout the worlds. Having defeated Xion, Axel brings her back to The World That Never Was, but soon faints from fatigue. Xion refuses, leaving Axel no choice but to accomplish his mission with brute force, leading to a heated battle. Not only is Axel curious of Xion's motives, he is also given specific orders to capture her again, which would possibly convince Roxas to return to the Organization. It is Axel who has arrived, having finally tracked Xion down. Before she does, though, DiZ barges in with the news that an Organization member has followed her, in which Xion says she will take care of it, despite Naminé's protests, and heads out of the mansion.
Xion accepts the facts, and decides to go back into Sora. Furthermore, Naminé's attempts to restore Sora's memories not only affect Roxas, but Xion as well, stating why they both keep having memory relapses. Naminé also reveals that as a memory being, once Xion returns to Sora, everyone's memories of her will inevitably be forgotten. She discovers that she is not a Nobody, but an imperfect Replica of Roxas. Eventually, after being tricked into fighting Roxas by Saïx, Xion decides to accept Riku's advice and leaves the Organization.Īfter her departure, Xion comes into contact with Naminé in Twilight Town's Old Mansion, questioning her own existence and the fate that will soon befall Roxas. However, Naminé's attempts to restore Sora's memories are soon halted when Xion starts absorbing them faster, causing Roxas to weaken as she becomes stronger, as Xemnas intended. Xion travels with Riku for several days before being captured by Axel and brought back into the Organization. As Roxas departs for his first training mission, he spots Xion shyly watching him nearby, and Saïx formally introduces her to Axel and Roxas. After looking at the other members, she smiles up at Roxas, puzzling him. In the end, she was erased from existence and returned to Sora where she belonged.Ī week after Roxas joins Organization XIII, Xemnas introduces Xion to the other members. She was an experimental replica used to "catch" Roxas's memories and create a Keyblade wielder for the Organization. Organization XIII's mysterious fourteenth member. Xion was voted "Best New Character" in the 2009 Nintendo Power Awards. This would make sense since an ion is an incomplete particle, much like Xion. It is also possible that this is a word play on the word ion since this is no.i backwards. The "i" used here may have been in reference to imaginary numbers. It is also revealed within the Secret Reports that her "original name" was "No.i", her ID as an experiment of the Replica Program. Xion's name contains the Japanese words for "tide" (潮, shio), fitting the oceanic naming theme of Kairi and Naminé, and Aster tataricus (紫苑, shion), which, according to Japanese floriography, means "I won't forget you" or "remembrance". Tetsuya Nomura took a liking to it and notes that it has many meanings. Xion's name was coined by Tomoco Kanemaki, one of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days's scenario writers and the writer of the Kingdom Hearts Novels.
As Naminé stated while talking with Riku, Xion's face was originally blank, until Sora's memories found their way into Xion and she gained an identity. Roxas also sees her as Sora before their battle with each other, Xigbar sees her as Ventus, Xemnas sees her as Sora, while Saïx sees her only as a hooded puppet. Roxas, Axel, and Riku (and presumably the rest of the Organization, except Xigbar, Xemnas, and Saix) see her as Xion. While this enables her to use the Keyblade, Xion's existence also halts Sora's progression of regaining his memories to fully awaken while in his pod, something which Naminé, DiZ, and Riku recognize.Īs Sora's memories are the basis of her being, Xion initially resembles Kairi, who was Sora's strongest memory at the time of her birth, though her physical appearance eventually changes depending on who is viewing her and who they have connections with. Instead, she is an imperfect Replica of Sora created from his leaked memories as a fail-safe in case both Sora and Roxas proved to be useless to Organization XIII's plans. Because of this, she does not have a throne in Where Nothing Gathers, nor does she have a title or a breed of Nobody to control. She is not a normal Nobody and is only a nominal member of the Organization.
Xion is the fourteenth member of Organization XIII, first appearing in the game Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, in which she could be viewed as both a main protagonist and antagonist.
