'''Xion''' is the Rank XIV member of the original [[Organization XIII]] as well as a member of the [[real Organization XIII]]. She debuted in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' as the deuteragonist and later one of the final antagonists.

She is not a normal [[Nobody]], and is only a nominal member of the Organization. Because of this, she does not have a throne in [[Where Nothing Gathers]], nor does she have a title or a type of Nobody to control. Instead, she is an imperfect [[Replica]] of [[Roxas]] created from [[Sora]]'s leaked memories as a fail-safe in case both Sora and Roxas proved to be useless to Organization XIII's plans.{{storylink|Day 276: Behind the Truth}} Similar to [[Riku Replica]], Xion was created by the Organization's scientist [[Vexen]]. While the nature of her existence 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]], [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]], and [[Riku]] recognize.

As 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. Roxas, Axel, and Riku see her as Xion (and later as Sora), [[Xigbar]] sees her as [[Ventus]], [[Xemnas]] sees her as [[Sora]], while [[Saïx]] (and also Axel, initially) sees her only as a hooded doll. 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.

On Day 352, after being tricked into fighting Roxas by Saïx at [[Halloween Town]], Xion decides to take Riku's advice and leaves the Organization. The next day, Xion fights [[Xigbar]] in [[Wonderland]] who perceives her as [[Ventus]] and knocks him unconscious. She unhoods in front of Axel who was also on the mission, shocking him, and asks him to let her go, which he agrees to, and she retreats through a Corridor of Darkness. Xion talks to Riku at Beast's Castle, wondering what she should do next, and he implores her to find Naminé in Twilight Town for answers.

On Day 356, Xion meets with Naminé in Twilight Town's [[Old Mansion]] in order to learn about her nature and how it affects Roxas. Naminé informs her that she is a Replica made from Roxas's memories, rather than a Nobody, and that this means that reuniting with Sora will cause her to not only no longer exist, but also be completely forgotten. Xion persists in her commitment, certain that it's where she belongs, but is interrupted by DiZ, intruding in the conversation to warn them that they have been located by a member of the Organization. Xion goes to investigate and finds Axel, upset that he has been tasked with retrieving or eliminating her, and conversely that letting her reunite with Sora as she wants would also result in her termination. Xion explains that she is committed to her path, and asks Axel "Please don't hold back". In response, he promises that he will "always be there to bring [her] back". Axel is able to subdue Xion after an intense battle, and limps back to the castle with her unconscious body in tow, fainting at the entrance. From there, Xemnas drags Xion away to reprogram her using the [[Organization XIII Device]]s that he had had planted throughout the worlds.

As an indirect Replica of Sora, Xion's fighting style as a playable character is very similar to his. After absorbing many of Sora's memories using the Organization XIII Devices, Xion is able to replicate Sora's Limits from ''Kingdom Hearts''. However, Xion's movement is quite similar to [[Limit Form]]'s, jumping back and stepping forward between attacks and slashing through the enemy in the finisher. Like Roxas, she thrusts with one hand and her finisher resembles the [[Vortex]] ability. Before Xion obtains the Keyblade herself, she is limited to simply shooting basic spells from her palm.

Once she obtains her Keyblade, Xion proves adept at handling it, being able to fight with it using her right or left hand. Her boss battle depicts her using many powerful melee attacks she seemed to have inherited from Sora. She also uses light much more often during her boss fight, such as creating spiraling circles of Light that suck in the player, leaving them vulnerable to one of Xion's aforementioned physical attacks. She can also use a Light spell similar to [[Ragnarok]], and can envelope her weapon in Light to make her other attacks even more powerful.

As Roxas's Replica, Xion can wield the Keyblade. She wields her weapon fairly skillfully, being able to disarm Axel. Because Xion and Roxas are both part of Sora, they can both wield his Keyblades, even at the same time. Because their weapons are the same, the [[Gear]]s produce the same forms when applied to either Keyblade.<ref>When using Xion in Mission Mode, equipping three ability units to the Zero Gear transforms it back to the [[Kingdom Key+]], as it does with Roxas in Story Mode.</ref> In her boss fight, her weapons resembles aspects from the world they are currently in: Xion's first form in Wonderland uses a large sword with a similar design to the Card Soldiers that protect the Queen, her second form in Halloween Town uses a pincer-like weapon with monstrous decorations, and her third form in Agrabah uses four giant Scimitars. In her final form, she wields two giant Keyblade-like weapons that resemble the Nobody sigil.

When Xion runs with her Keyblade, she grasps it with two hands instead of slinging it over her shoulder like Roxas does. This is identical to how Sora runs with his Keyblade in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''.
